Traveling through ancient times, the spy princess had everything going smoothly

After Qinghe arranged for the servants to send out the invitations, she made a list and gave it to the housekeeper to start preparing for the family dinner the next day.

After breakfast the next day, the emperor and Baili Ye played chess in the hall.

Shangguan Jing and his wife and Chu Laosi and his wife were talking in the hall.

The servants were busy preparing for the family banquet. Some were responsible for purchasing, some were responsible for picking and washing vegetables in the kitchen, and some were responsible for arranging the family banquet.

Qinghe also took out some materials and ingredients needed for hot pot from the space, including marinated meat, lamb skewers, beef skewers, chicken skewers, chicken gizzards, chicken feet, vegetable skewers and other barbecue skewers.

We also selected a variety of delicious food from the space, including exquisite pastries, fresh and fragrant braised dishes, and snacks.

At his grandfather's request, Qinghe selected several jars of fine wine and saved them for his grandfather and uncle.

I also selected a few bottles of rice wine, peach blossom wine, pear blossom wine and red wine for my grandmother, aunt, fourth aunt and others to drink.

As for the children, Qinghe carefully prepared cola, sweet and sour fruit juice and special milk drinks.

Qing Yue helped to decorate the venue, arranging the tables and chairs neatly and decorating the surroundings with flowers.

The retired emperor and the empress dowager were also busy, directing the servants to prepare barbecue and hot pot utensils, and laughter echoed in the palace.

After Qinghe made all the arrangements, she went to the kitchen to prepare marinated ingredients and fruits for the barbecue with everyone. Just as she finished making the arrangements, she saw Guan Bailiye coming.

He said to Qinghe in a hurry:

"Xiao He, the eldest princess and the prince's family are here. Grandfather asked you to go to the front hall and chat with the eldest princess after you finish your work."

Qing He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll be there right away."

When they arrived at the front hall, they saw Princess Shangguan Xue, her husband Chen Wanang, her two cousins ​​Chen Ruixuan and Chen Ruihua, and her cousin Chen Ruiduo were all there, as well as the prince's family of four.

Qing He went forward to pay her respects to the Princess and her husband:

"Qinghe greets aunt and uncle. Aunt and uncle, you are here."

Shangguan Xue and Chen Wanang said with a smile:

"Qinghe, you don't have to be so polite. We've been wanting to come since your fourth uncle's wedding, but you've been busy lately, so we didn't bother you."

Qing He smiled and said, "It's my fault. The time for coming and going was tight. I was originally going to visit you, but suddenly some more things came up. I was busy for the past two days. Please don't blame me, aunt and uncle."

Shangguan Xue stroked Qinghe's head with her hand, "Why are you blaming me? What you did was all serious work. Auntie has been supporting you so much, how could she blame you?"

After that, Shangguan Xue called her two sons, "Xuan'er, Hua'er, come over and meet your sister and brother-in-law."

Chen Ruixuan and Chen Ruihua hurried forward and bowed respectfully: "Hello, sister and brother-in-law."

Qing He smiled and nodded: "No need to be polite, my two brothers. How are you these days?"

"Thank you for your concern, sister. Everything is fine with us." Chen Ruixuan replied.

At this time, Qing He looked at the prince's family again and said with a smile: "Qing He greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty the Crown Princess."

Baili Ye also clasped his fists and said, "Greetings to the Crown Prince and Crown Princess."

The prince smiled and said to the two of them, "Cousin, we are a family, there is no need to be so polite."

The Crown Princess also smiled and said, "Yes, Qinghe, you are our family's great benefactor, and you are also our sister, so you don't have to be polite."

Qing He: "Sister-in-law, don't be so polite to me. You're always talking about favors and disfavors."

Liu Shiyu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Qinghe looked in the direction of the two children and saw that the two babies had grown so big and were so cute.

"Sister-in-law, these two children are so cute, chubby and tender. They will definitely be handsome men and beautiful women when they grow up."

Qinghe teased them and said, "Lele and Taotao, call me auntie, call me auntie, auntie."

When the two children saw Qinghe, they opened their mouths wide, smiled until their eyes narrowed into slits, and reached out to grab Qinghe's hands.

Qinghe gently held the two children's hands, and the soft and tender touch made her heart melt.

The prince smiled and said, "These two little guys are so happy when they see you. It seems that they are destined to be with you."

Qing He teased the child and responded with a smile:

"Of course, these are my nephews and nieces. They are so cute and their aunt is so pretty. They are destined to be together."

At this time, the Queen Mother came over and saw this warm scene with a smile on her face:

"Look, it's so lively when this family gets together."

Everyone agreed, and Princess Shangguan Xue said:

"Mother, you seem to be in better spirits. I guess you have been having a good time these days."

The Queen Mother nodded: "Of course, with Qinghe and a few children accompanying me, and good food and drink every day, how can I not be happy?"

Qinghe smiled embarrassedly:

"We are happy because we have our grandparents by our side."

The Queen Mother sighed and said, "No matter how happy we are, you will soon be gone. You will leave the day after tomorrow and we will have to return to the palace. We will never be free again."

Qing He felt sad when she heard what the Empress Dowager said, and said hurriedly:

"Grandma, don't say that. Even if we leave, we will come back to see you and Grandpa from time to time.

Besides, when we come back next time, we can take you to Dasheng, and then we can accompany you again, right?"

The eldest princess also consoled him:

"Yes, mother, if you don't want to stay in the palace anymore, just move out.

Whether it is inside or outside the palace, as long as you are happy, it is fine. "

The Queen Mother nodded slightly, with reluctance still in her eyes: "I know you are filial, but this separation is just a little sad."

As they were talking, they heard: "The Emperor and the Empress have arrived."

Everyone hurriedly stood up to greet them. When the emperor and empress saw them, they smiled and said, "Today is a family dinner, so please don't perform formalities."

After everyone greeted each other, the emperor looked at Qinghe and said jokingly:

"Our busy man is finally free today. The whole family is looking forward to this family dinner."

Qing He stepped forward and took her uncle's arm: "Uncle, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for so long. Please take a seat with your aunt."

The Queen looked at Qing He with a smile and asked, "Qing He, when are you and Prince Chen leaving?"

The Queen Mother looked at Qing He and interrupted:

"When will I leave? I'll be back the day after tomorrow. I haven't stayed at home for more than five days since I came back."

The more the Queen Mother thought about it, the more she felt that Qinghe spent too little time at home and she was dissatisfied.

"No wonder the Queen Mother is reluctant to let you go. You guys really have less time to stay here. My Aunt is reluctant to let you go too."

Qing He was also reluctant at this time, but she had to go. She said with a little guilt:

“I also feel that I have less time to stay, but there are still many things to do after I return. The three countries have to go to Dasheng for negotiations, and the medical school is about to start, so I have to go.

However, I will come back every two months, and when I have time, I will definitely come back and stay for a longer period of time, okay, Grandma?"

The Queen Mother knew that the child had no choice, so she didn't insist. She said, "Just go and do your work. Grandmother will wait for you to come back."

The emperor asked, "Qinghe, when will you leave the day after tomorrow?"

"Let's go at noon the day after tomorrow."

The emperor nodded and said, "There are a total of fifty people going to Dasheng to study medicine this time. They are now arranged in the post station in the capital. Where should they find you the day after tomorrow?"

Qing He thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the suburbs five miles outside the city, where the planes can take off normally."

"Okay, I'll have someone send them over there. When they get to Dasheng, you'll have to discipline them and make sure they obey the laws of Dasheng, study medicine well, and return home soon after completing their studies."

"Don't worry, uncle. I will take good care of you all."

At this time, Chen Ruiduo pulled Qingli over and asked excitedly, "Sister Qinghe, is it true that Qingli wants to go to Dasheng with you to study medicine?"

Qing He smiled and nodded, saying, "It's true. He will leave with me the day after tomorrow."

Chen Ruiduo pouted after hearing this, "Then I won't be able to see Qingli anymore, right?"

Qingli smiled and said, "Sister Duoduo, it's not like I won't come back. When my sister comes back, I will come back with her, and then I will go to play with you."

Chen Ruiduo was a little reluctant. Her eyes lit up when she thought of something. She pulled Qinghe's arm and said coquettishly:

"Sister Qinghe, I also want to go to Dasheng to study medicine, so please take me with you."

Qing He looked at her in surprise:

"Duoduo, studying medicine is very hard, don't decide to study medicine just because you are with Qingli.

Moreover, this study will require you to leave Daxia for several years. Are you willing to leave your family?

Your aunt and uncle may not be willing to let you leave!"
