After hearing what the left and right prime ministers said, the emperor's expression eased a little.

He nodded and said, "Since you all think this is a good thing, then so be it. But I am still a little unhappy that Lao Wu did not report this action in advance."

Master Shen stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, although King Chen's actions were a bit rash, they were also for the sake of the people living at the border. His sincerity is evident."

The emperor pondered for a moment and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this matter for now. Now that the end of the year is approaching, there are many complicated matters in the court, and you need to pay more attention to them."

The three of them responded in unison: "We obey your order."

Afterwards, the Left Prime Minister, the Right Prime Minister and Master Shen left the imperial study.

In the Left Prime Minister's Mansion, after Bai Qingsong returned home, he heard that Eunuch Li had been there.

And he came with the emperor's reward.

This surprised him very much.

And the reward was given to his eldest daughter.

There was pride in his eyes.

I don’t know what Yan’er did to deserve the emperor’s reward.

Bai Qianqian and Bai Jinyan returned before dinner.

Moreover, Bai Jinyan went directly to the Bai Mansion.

He returned to the Zuo Xiang Mansion after having dinner.

When I returned to my yard, I was stunned when I saw the light in the guest room was on.

But he still walked up and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Dad's familiar voice came from the room.

Bai Jinyan then pushed the door and walked in.

When she saw her father's smiling face under the light, she knew that something good must have happened.

Without waiting for her to ask, Bai Qingsong started to praise, "Yan'er, you are Daddy's pride."

Bai Jinyan was confused.

I don't understand what my father means at all.

Then, Bai Qingsong told him about the emperor's reward.

Bai Jinyan frowned, and couldn't think of what she had done recently to deserve the emperor's reward.

Seeing his daughter in a daze, Bai Qingsong was also stunned for a moment, "Yan'er, don't you know why the emperor gave you the reward?"

Bai Jinyan thought about it and nodded.

She really doesn't know.

Recently, he has been either providing disaster relief outside the city, or staying in the disaster relief shelter with the Sixth Prince inside the city.

Did she do anything to deserve a reward from the Emperor?

Seeing this, Bai Qingsong stopped asking.

He just reminded her, "In a few days, you will be attending a banquet in the palace. You should prepare well. By the way, the invitation is in your room, and the rewards are also in your room."

As he spoke, Bai Qingsong stood up and walked out.

After Bai Jinyan saw his father off, he returned to the room and saw the invitation on the table and four boxes on the ground.

She sat at the table, thinking carefully about recent events, but still had no clue.

But he still got up and opened the box.

What catches the eye is the golden light.

Two boxes of gold.

Very generous.

Wait for the other two boxes to open.

When I saw it was cloth, I was stunned for a moment.

This reward is four boxes of things?

Forget it, forget it, if you don’t understand it, don’t think about it.

Ever since I got the jade pendant given by my fourth sister.

She put all the good things into the space.

This reward is no exception.

Even the betrothal gift given by the Sixth Prince was in the jade pendant space.

Moreover, there are some daily necessities in the space.

It is prepared for emergencies.

After a night, Bai Jinyan no longer worried about the emperor's reward and began to prepare for the palace banquet.

Bai Qianqian was also making careful preparations for the palace banquet.

That day, Bai Qianqian came to Bai Jinyan's courtyard, and the two sisters discussed the attire and etiquette for the palace banquet.

"Big sister, do you think it will be very tense at this palace banquet?" Bai Qianqian asked with some concern.

This was her first time attending the New Year's Eve dinner in the palace.

Bai Jinyan smiled lightly: "Don't be afraid, as long as we are careful in what we say and do, nothing will happen."

Although it was her first time participating.

But it's always better to be careful.

At this moment, the housekeeper of the Bai Mansion came hurriedly: "Miss, Miss, there is a eunuch outside who wants to see you."

The two sisters looked at each other, confused, wondering what their father-in-law was doing.

When they arrived at the front hall, they saw a strange eunuch standing there. When he saw Bai Jinyan and Bai Qianqian, he immediately smiled and said, "I am here on the orders of the Imperial Concubine to pass on a message to the two young ladies."

Bai Jinyan and Bai Qianqian hurriedly bowed: "Please speak, sir."

The eunuch cleared his throat and said, "The Imperial Concubine said that at the palace banquet, we hope that the two young ladies will show their talents."

The two sisters agreed, and after seeing their father-in-law off, they were very confused.

Which imperial concubine is this?

Ask them to perform?

They have all granted marriages to princes. Who are they showing it to?

Shouldn't we give the opportunity to other daughters?

The two sisters couldn't figure it out so they stopped thinking about it.

Today is the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month.

The Zuo Xiang Mansion is holding a New Year’s Eve dinner today.

In previous years, Bai Qianqian always had the New Year’s Eve dinner here.

But this year she plans to eat it at home.

I came to tell my uncle.

I just came to my elder sister’s yard first.

After talking to Bai Jinyan, Bai Qianqian said she wanted to go find her uncle.

Bai Jinyan smiled and accompanied him to his father's yard.

When Bai Jinyan saw his father practicing martial arts in the yard, he was stunned for a moment.

It’s so cold, and you’re still practicing?

The two did not disturb but watched from the side.

Bai Qingsong finished two sets of boxing, then stopped his horse stance, looked at the two sisters, and said with a smile, "You got up so early? Don't you have to go out of the city today?"

"Uncle, the disaster relief arrangements over there are already complete, and we're having the New Year's Eve dinner today, so my mother asked me to stay at home." Bai Qianqian explained.

Bai Qingsong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "The New Year's Eve dinner must be eaten at the Zuo Xiang Mansion. Just like in previous years, invite your parents along."

In the past, the original owner had never been kind to his parents.

Naturally, I wouldn't invite my parents to come to the Left Prime Minister's Mansion for New Year's Eve dinner.

Hearing what her uncle said, Bai Qianqian did not nod immediately, but said, "Uncle, my parents should prefer to eat at home. After all, my grandmother doesn't like them."

This is a fact and there is nothing that cannot be said.

Bai Qingsong sighed, "Forget it, this matter depends on your parents' opinion."

The matter just passed.

Bai Qingsong called the two sisters to the study and asked them to write.

Bai Jinyan is fine, he has been practicing calligraphy with his master.

Bai Qianqian was in trouble.

How could she write calligraphy?

I can write calligraphy with a hard pen quite well.

More importantly, the original owner was not a studious person.

Writing is even more impossible.

Therefore, Bai Qianqian had to do it with great caution when writing.

The words on the paper are so ugly.

At most, the word "tuanyuan" can be written.

It's just like chicken chop, so ugly.

Even when Bai Jinyan finished writing and looked at his fourth sister's words, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Hahaha, fourth sister, why is your handwriting so ugly?"

She really didn't expect that her fourth sister, who was good at everything, would have such ugly handwriting.

Bai Qingsong's face also looked unhappy.

He looked at Bai Qianqian with an extremely serious look in his eyes, "Qianqian, spend two hours every day practicing calligraphy after the New Year. Your handwriting is not even as good as that of a three-year-old child!"

What can Bai Qianqian do?

I could only nod obediently.

They say a name reflects its character.

Her handwriting is really not good enough.
