"Okay!" Xia Youan excitedly pulled Chu Moyuan and followed Chief Steward Xu to the emperor's private treasury to pick out gifts.

They said they were picking out gifts, but in reality Xia Youan didn't even open the boxes. He just took away the boxes and boxes together. The two of them took as much as they could.

Seeing this, Chief Steward Xu broke out in a cold sweat. Could it be that the emperor was really being made the poorest emperor?

When the emperor learned about this, he staggered and nearly fell. Chief Steward Xu quickly helped him up and asked, "Your Majesty, are you okay?"

Emperor Xiao Jing waved his hands, shook his head helplessly, and a wry smile appeared on his face. "No problem! Take it if you want. They are my biological children anyway. I have them to support me in my old age."

Chief Steward Xu also knew that the emperor was happy now that those treasures were gone.

After returning to Beichuan, Xia Youan placed the ingredients for Du Qianhao's New Year's Eve dinner in the palace and returned to the city with Chu Moyuan.

The general's wife and Liang Peishan were not at home. When Aunt Wu asked, she found out that the two women had gone to get medical beauty treatments, buy clothes, and get their hair done.

“It’s really exciting!”

On the night of the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, the lights on the main road of Pingyang County were lit up.

The ice sculptures with colored lights were officially unveiled.

The high-hanging red lanterns and glittering trees illuminate the night sky of Pingyang County.

After dinner, the people left their homes one after another. The gate of the Chu Palace became a gathering place for children, all of whom were exploring the maze in the castle.

"When has the New Year in Pingyang County ever been so lively? It's all thanks to the prince and princess that we have such a good life today!"

"Isn't it? I don't know how these things make the light, but it's much brighter than the candles at home."

After breakfast on New Year's Eve, Chu Moyuan and Xie Youzhi acted as drivers and made two trips back and forth to take everyone to the imperial palace in the capital.

Emperor Xiao Jing, General Shan and his son, and Censor Xie were waiting in the imperial study early in the morning to welcome their arrival.

The first wave to arrive included King Xiaoyao's family, the general's wife, Shan Ronghao, Lin Youyou, Liang Luowen, Xia Ronghai and Uncle Zhang.

As soon as the helicopter landed, the emperor personally came out to greet him. This made the guards and servants curious. Who was this important person who needed to be greeted by the emperor himself?

Emperor Xiao Jing walked up to Xia Ronghai and said, "Welcome, Brother Xia!"

"Your Majesty is too polite!"

"My dear brothers, the sacrificial ceremony will begin soon. I'll have to trouble you three to follow me and change your clothes."

"it is good!"

Emperor Xiao Jing and Xia Ronghai walked side by side in front, while Uncle Zhang and Zhang Peng followed behind. No one paid any attention to King Xiaoyao from beginning to end.

Prince Xiaoyao quickly chased after him, "Royal brother, you can't be like this. After all, I am your biological brother. Are you really so unwilling to welcome me back?"

"Stop making noise! ​​Hurry and change into your court attire!"

General Shan and Shan Rongjie looked at the general's wife's smooth, moist and tight face. She didn't look like a woman in her fifties at all. People would even believe that she was Shan Rongjie's sister.

"Madam, I haven't seen you for two days. What has happened to you? Did you take the elixir and become younger?" General Shan asked in surprise.

The general's wife proudly turned around in front of the general and his eldest son. "How is it? Doesn't it look good now?"

"It looks good." General Shan reached out and touched his face. "Madam, can my face be like yours?"

"Of course you can. When you go back, you can do the same. I wonder if those old witches will have the nerve to stand in front of you."

In front of his two daughters-in-law, the lady exposed his past. General Shan quickly begged for mercy, "Madam, please save some face for me in front of my daughters-in-law. Those were all things that happened when we were young.

Isn't it because mother is afraid that I won't be able to return from the battlefield, and wants to leave more offspring? I haven't been to their room for decades, you know that."

Shan Rongjie approached Liang Luowen and asked in a low voice, "What happened to my mother's face?"

"My aunt took me to get a wrinkle removal treatment and a hydrating injection." Liang Luowen really didn't expect that the general's wife was so avant-garde in her thinking that even she couldn't accept having something injected into her face.

"Shan Rongjie, you're not going to be like your father, are you? Let me make it clear in advance. If you have this idea, it's better for us to end it sooner rather than later."

"How is that possible? If I were to do this, would I still be a virgin when I'm almost 38?" Shan Rongjie said aggrievedly.

Liang Luowen chuckled, "Who knows if it's true? It's just what you say."

Shan Rongjie leaned close to Liang Luowen's ear and whispered, "How about I let you check it tonight to make sure it's absolutely true."

Liang Luowen blushed instantly, "Go away! You are talking nonsense."

The general's wife took Liang Luowen and Lin Youyou back to the general's mansion.

She wanted to show off to those little bitches at home, who said her son couldn't find a wife.

Look at the daughter-in-law his son found for her. How can she be compared with those vulgar women?

After Chu Moyuan and Xie Youzhi sent the others over, Song Jinbao followed Xia Youan to visit their home. "Mom, sister, it's a rare opportunity for you to come to the capital. My mother has been waiting for you to come home for a long time."

Chu Moyuan said, "Mom, An'an, take Aunt Wu and Xing Yinan with you and follow Jinbao. We probably won't be back until noon, and it's boring to stay in the palace. I'll pick you up at the Duke's Mansion when I get back."

"Okay, go ahead and do your work. We'll go home with our son."

Chu Moyuan arranged for Du Zuo and Du You to follow them, and also arranged people in secret. In order not to spoil their fun, there was no need to let them know what was happening in secret.

The streets on New Year's Eve were unusually bustling, a world of difference compared to the first time I went to Pingyang County.

The bustling crowd made it difficult for vehicles to pass. Xing Yinan kept shouting to get out of the car, "Godmother, godmother, let's walk. It's so lively outside."

Liang Peishan said lovingly: "Okay, I'll listen to you, let's go!"

Xing Yinan hugged Liang Peishan's neck and kissed her cheeks several times, "Trojan~Godmother, you are so nice!"

Xing Yinan pulled Xia Youan and jumped off the carriage. They squeezed into the crowd hand in hand. When Xing Yinan saw that everyone was waiting to buy something, she was stunned.

"Old Xia, there's actually a place selling cakes here, as well as daifuku, cookies, and small biscuits! Oh my God, am I seeing this right?"

Xia Youan looked up at the sign, oh, well, what an iconic store name, Fuyunlai, the Song family's shop.

I really want to try it to see if it's authentic, but unfortunately there are too many people queuing up. Song Jinbao walked over and said, "Sister, what do you like to eat? I'll ask the shopkeeper to pack some for you."

Xia Youan shook his head and said, "No, just enjoy the fun of shopping."

The four women browsed around the shops in front and asked Song Jinbao to pay for anything they liked. After buying the things, Du Zuo and Du You carried them. Before they had walked halfway down the street, they had no room left on their arms to put the things.

The four of them came to a jewelry store and saw the name of the store, Jin Yu Lai. Xia Youan put the things in Du Zuo's hands into Song Jinbao's arms and warned him, "We are shopping by ourselves, and you are here to help us look at things. The fun of shopping will be gone if you go in."

Xing Yinan still didn't understand why the fun of shopping was gone after Song Jinbao went in?

If he doesn't go in, who will pay them?
