Charlotte gave everyone seven days off, and all of them were spent on the farm.

There are various recreational areas in the manor, including skating, rope skipping, horse riding, and martial arts competition areas.

Setting off firecrackers and fireworks on the night of the 30th was something she and Situ Jin had agreed on. Although this was done in ancient times, habits are formed by people.

Moreover, the sulfur in firecrackers can drive away evil spirits and eliminate bacteria.

After setting off the firecrackers, Situ Jin told the soldiers that they could recommend talented people to recite poems and compose couplets with the ladies present.

Several of them are teaching assistants from the college and are eager to try.

Xihui City, professors from colleges like Cao Zhize all came to participate.

Here are Situ Jing, Naga, Xiyuan, Xibao, and several families of retired soldiers who have also come to join in the fun.

Anyone who has some writing experience wants to try it out to see if they have the ability. Anyway, it's just for the New Year to have some fun. It doesn't matter if it's good or not.

Over there, a group of children, led by Zixuan, were playing with various small and exquisite lanterns given by Charlotte.

Zimo was calm, sitting there staring at the exquisite little lantern in a daze.

Xia Luo asked Situ Jin to take the silver wrapped in red silk to the emperor and Concubine Xi.

Give them all the face and let them give out red envelopes at twelve o'clock.

Everyone has it, in varying amounts.

I’m afraid that the Emperor and Concubine Xi will give out so many red envelopes that their hands will become too soft.

He specially asked the eight guards to come and help.

The Emperor and Concubine Xi admired Xia Luo's vision and sense of the overall situation.

That's not because there are few people. Even if each person gets one tael of silver, there are about 300 people in this village, so it will cost about 300 taels.

This shows that Charlotte is generous, decent and considerate.

Giving them the right to send red envelopes is her most amazing move.

The emperor is the boss. It is impossible for Charlotte to let her parents make it. That is disrespectful. Giving this power to the emperor and Concubine Xi is a time to win people's hearts and accumulate blessings for Situ Jin.

Situ Jin told the Emperor and Concubine Xi to stay here for three days, during which there would be continuous activities.

There is a segment for giving out red envelopes in every program.

This made the Emperor and Concubine Xi even more surprised.

The Jinyiwei on the tree was always guarding around the manor.

Xiao Dezi smelled the aroma of mutton and couldn't help but sniff.

He had been following the emperor all along, but he didn't enter the hall.

Seeing how greedy he was, Charlotte asked Xiaonan to bring some food to her father-in-law.

"Eunuch, this is the cake that the master prepared for you. Let's have a taste first."

The Imperial Guards knew the Crown Princess's abilities, and no matter how deeply they hid, they could not escape the Crown Princess's eyes.

A large plate of desserts, enough for ten people. Xiao Dezi knew that Charlotte had discovered the existence of the Jinyiwei, and even a few people were clearly aware of it.

Xiao Dezi touched his head. Then he pointed his mouth toward the sky and put the plate on a stone.

"The Crown Princess's vision is too accurate. She can even tell where we are with a high degree of accuracy." The leader of the Imperial Guards used to be He Qing. Now it is Yuan Hongyi, the son of the Right Prime Minister.

"So don't mess with the Crown Princess, she'll get you killed without you even realizing it."

Xiao Dezi had experienced Xia Luo's skills and also reminded Yuan Hongyi not to follow He Qing's path.

"This pastry is so delicious. I really envy the prince, who can eat the delicious food made by the princess every day." Chief Yuan's mouth was busy while eating.

"Eat yours, and then go and watch after you finish." Xiao Dezi saw him praising Charlotte endlessly. He thought that if the prince heard it, he would be jealous again.

The village was bustling with activity, and there were more than a dozen coachmen guarding outside the door.

Charlotte asked the beggars to let those people in. These people all had their own masters, and they were guarding the door for their masters. It was quite pitiful.

Let them come in and have something hot.

It was New Year's Day, and they were eating inside, leaving these people outside smelling the food. Charlotte couldn't bear it.

It was almost ten o'clock, and Situ Jin asked the eight guards to follow the emperor and Concubine Xi. They would give out red envelopes soon. Don't tire his parents out.

Situ Jin emptied the main room. Families came in one by one to receive red envelopes. First came Charlotte's adoptive mother and her family. Charlotte thanked her adoptive mother for raising her. She came in first.

"Dad, Mom. This is my adoptive mother's family." Only when Charlotte introduced them in this way did they feel more relaxed.

"Give out red envelopes." The emperor didn't say much. He just took the red envelopes and started giving them out. Charlotte was careful and wrote names on all the red silk.

It was handed to the emperor by the eight guards, and then the emperor handed it to the person who received the red envelope.

"These are my parents. My second aunt's family, and my eldest uncle's family."

"This is my eldest uncle Jin's family. This is my second uncle's family."

"This is the Duke's family. My second sister's husband's family."

"This is Xia Yunyuan's family."

"This is Ding Dafu's family."

Charlotte called all the families who came to the village to receive red envelopes.

It was impossible for the emperor to distribute all the red envelopes. The rest were distributed by the four guards, including the driver who came in from outside.

Situ Jin and Xia Luo called Zimo and Zixuan over separately.

"Come quickly, let grandma see you." Concubine Xi saw Zimo's imposing appearance and liked him very much.

"Our Zimo has grown taller and is almost as tall as your father. Zixuan is looking more and more like her mother."

Every time Concubine Xi saw Zixuan, she couldn't mention her eldest daughter. This was the first time she took the initiative to mention it. And she didn't seem to be emotional.

"Grandpa, grandma, Happy New Year!" The two children wished them a happy new year in unison.

"Grandma has a red envelope for you." This time the red envelope was not from Charlotte, but a lot of silver notes were taken out from her arms. Judging from the face value, it should be one thousand taels per note.

"Grandpa, grandma, we are not used to spending money yet. Wait until Zimo passes the exam to become a scholar, then we can ask you for more money."

"Grandpa, grandma. We need to save money for Zixuan so that embroidery can be introduced to Southeast Asia. Mom said that by then I will be an embroidery artist."

"Lolo has done a great job in raising the two children!" Concubine Xi looked up at Charlotte.

This is a lucky treasure that the Situ family has found.

"Lolo, your mother and I don't know what to reward you with. How about this, you call Tiebushan, the uncle, Xihuicheng, Zeng Yi, Xia Yunyuan and your father over here. I have something to say."

After these people came over, Xiao Dezi also followed in.

"Xiao Dezi, there are no outsiders here, you can pass on my imperial decree." It turned out that the emperor had already made arrangements. It was not a spur-of-the-moment decision.

"The Emperor decrees: Tie Bushan is appointed as the Minister of Military Affairs. The Emperor's uncle is appointed as the Supervisor of Censors. Zeng Yi is appointed as the Minister of Personnel. Luo Yi is appointed as the Minister of Revenue. Xi Huicheng is appointed as the Official in Literature and History. Xia Yunyuan is appointed as the Minister of the Imperial Household. Wang Changyang is restored to the position of Vice Minister. Gu Ming is restored to the position of Privy Councilor. Sheng Qing is restored to the position of Grand Secretary. I decree this."

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Long live the emperor! Long, long live the emperor!" Everyone thanked the emperor in unison for his reward.

They knew in their hearts that this was all thanks to Charlotte.

"You will all go to court the day after tomorrow and let all the ministers get to know you. Help me to keep my kingdom firmly. Don't let me down."

"Your Majesty, we will definitely live up to everyone's expectations." The King's Uncle spoke first.

"Xiao Dezi, Princess Huilan has worked hard today. I will bear all the money. You can play here for three days, and we will discuss important matters in the palace after three days."

The ministers had eaten their meals, celebrated the 30th, and received their red envelopes. Seeing that the old emperor had no intention of leaving, they could not stay here and not leave.

He said hello to the Emperor and the Concubine and then retreated.
