Travel through ancient times and become a great hero

After Situ Jin finished speaking, he prepared to go back to the palace.

In the palace, the emperor was discussing the palace banquet with Concubine Xi.

"Do you think the families of many ministers will also come along to the palace banquet? Are they unwilling to attend the palace banquet?"

The emperor also thought of this. Who wouldn’t want to have a reunion dinner together as a family?

"Only in this way can our son bring Luo Luo back. Otherwise, he would have spent the New Year at his mother's home. I feel uncomfortable. My son has not spent the New Year at home for so many years. The emperor can also understand how I feel in these years."

"Huang'er and Luoluo have been busy with various openings. I feel sorry for their hard work and dedication. I heard that many people are Jin'er's soldiers. This child is kind-hearted and can handle things with ease. He is neither humble nor arrogant. He is my good son. In the future, I can retire and accompany you to travel around the mountains and rivers."

"The emperor is still young. Let Huang'er and Luoluo work hard for a few more years. I will have time to accompany the emperor to enjoy life in the future."

Concubine Xi would never dare to let Situ Jin succeed to the throne right now.

He had just settled the matter between the Empress Dowager's nephew He Qing and Meizhou Pu.

He Qing's followers had not been completely eliminated, and the Queen Mother was still watching closely. She had to be on guard.

Although Situ Jin is the crown prince, he has no experience in the court and does not have the support of the ministers.

Relying solely on the economic lifeline controlled by the daughter-in-law is not enough to succeed to the throne.

It would take a few years for him to inherit the throne with the support of most of the ministers. Then she would feel relieved.

"Besides, the prince has no experience yet. I hope His Majesty will create opportunities for the prince to communicate with the ministers."

That means it will take some time for the ministers to submit to Situ Jin.

It can be said that Concubine Xi is the only one in charge of the harem except the queen. She has seen too many palace changes.

So even though her son is her blood, when it comes to governing the country, she thinks more about it than the emperor does.

"I haven't thought about it that much. It seems that I have to let the prince come to court more often in the future."

Many ministers were unfamiliar with the new prince, who had only visited the palace a few times to be awarded prizes. He was rarely seen at other times. It was said that he did not take concubines, and had no foundation in the future.

In case there is a big decision to be made, there will be no one standing by his side.

Wouldn’t that really make me a lonely person?

"Father, Mother." As soon as they finished speaking, Situ Jin came.

"Jin'er, how come you have time to come back today?" Concubine Xi quickly stood up and said to her son.

"Father, Mother, cancel the palace banquet. Put on plain clothes and go to my farm to celebrate the New Year together."

"I was thinking of holding a palace banquet for you to have a good exchange with the ministers. What are you doing?" The emperor looked at Situ Jin like an old father.

"Father, mother, the palace banquet will be held when Luo Luo reaches the age of 15. Every minister likes to spend the New Year happily with his family at home. Who wants to attend court every day and come to the palace for dinner at night? Besides, the palace banquet is too formal, and the family will be lonely at home."

"So Luo Luo and I discussed that you should go to my manor to celebrate the New Year, and my uncle's family, Zixuan, Zimo's grandparents' family, and my soldiers will come. It will be more lively with more people. It's too restrictive in the palace. If you change into plain clothes, no one will recognize you."

"Then I will tell Zimo, Zixuan and others who know you, that you are Zimo's grandpa and grandma. By the way, invite everyone from the Duke's Mansion as well. This way, Second Sister can also see them."

"Then how much food do you want to prepare? Isn't it too troublesome? How about sending all the imperial chefs in the palace over?" Concubine Xi was tempted.

"No need. The food cooked by the students of Lolo Academy is no worse than those in the palace. Just eat well, have fun and enjoy yourself when you go there." Situ Jin used his eloquent tongue to persuade them.

"Father, there are still many programs that you haven't watched yet. Luo Luo was thinking about how to make you happy, so she was busy preparing, and I came here by myself."

Situ Jin was afraid that his father and mother would cause trouble, so he came to invite them himself, and Xia Luo did not come along.

"That's fine. I'll announce the cancellation of the palace banquet tomorrow morning. We'll travel in plain clothes and have Xiao Dezi get an ordinary carriage to pick us up. We'll arrive at the farm before dark."

When the emperor heard about so many interesting things he had never seen before, he felt itchy in his heart.

Situ Jin took care of his parents and left the palace.

The nanny beside the queen saw Situ Jin go to Concubine Xi's bedroom.

I told the Queen Mother when I got back.

The Queen Mother has always been brooding over the matter of her nephew He Qing.

She always believed that it was Situ Jin and Xia Luo who set a trap for He Qing.

Little did she know that her nephew He Qing brought disaster upon himself because of his excessive greed.

The Queen thought this palace banquet was an opportunity. She teamed up with her brother and asked him to find an opportunity to ruin Charlotte.

It is impossible for a woman with such a stain to become the Crown Princess. Even if Situ Jin doesn't care, the ministers will impeach him, and then it will be difficult for him to become the Crown Prince.

If Charlotte is eliminated, then her second brother's nephew will also be of young age. After waiting for another two years, he will also be able to take on this important task.

Then her position is secure. See what Concubine Xi is still so arrogant about.

It must be said that the Queen Mother was also a ruthless person. She risked everything to keep the Queen's position intact.

When she heard from the nanny that Situ Jin went to Concubine Xi's bedroom, she thought that there must be something wrong with Situ Jin's visit.

At the next morning court session, the emperor issued an order to cancel the palace banquet on New Year's Eve. Only then did the queen and her brother realize that their plan had failed.

Many ministers breathed a sigh of relief. Who wouldn't want to spend the New Year together at home?

It is called a palace banquet, but in fact it is just some cakes, tea and the like, and the purpose is to get together and chat.

In the court this morning, I wanted to beat my brains out of dogs because of something I had to do.

After the court, everyone is fine. It's all for the country, who is really angry?

But it’s different when it comes to choosing a side. Everyone is afraid of choosing the wrong side. If you choose the wrong side, you will be beheaded. Even your entire clan will be killed.

Therefore, many ministers said one thing and meant another. They were secretly competing with each other. They were all cunning people.

Judging from the momentum, the prince has secured his position.

But the prince only wants to marry a princess and doesn't take concubines, so this matter becomes difficult.

There is only one way. If the Crown Princess likes to do business, then we can do business together.

Only if they can get close to the prince can they understand him and have a place in the court in the future. Only then can they take their family to a higher level and bring honor to their ancestors.

They made up their minds to go to their farm to give gifts during the Chinese New Year, and then try to curry favor with the Crown Princess to see if there was any business they could do.

There's nothing wrong with being a little humble, a little servile, and a little shameless.

Having the right to speak in the court in the future is better than anything else.

You can also show off outside.

The Queen wanted to know why the palace banquet was cancelled?

And at this time every year, we are busy preparing for the New Year’s Eve dinner.

This year, Concubine Xi seemed to be unaware of the Chinese New Year.

Nothing prepared, just like usual.

Were they not celebrating the New Year in the palace? Or did they have other plans? Or did they know about her plans?

The queen was terrified.

So he let his brother enter the palace.

But men cannot enter the harem casually.

She had no choice but to let her brother disguise himself as a eunuch and enter her bedroom.

Coincidentally, the emperor came down from the court and went directly to her bedroom.
