Exile with Storage Space: Family Fortunes in the Barren Lands-Chapter 822 - 762: The Grand Finale (Part 2)_4

Prime Minister Pei, with an embarrassed expression, had no choice but to express his gratitude and said, "Your Highness, the Eldest Prince, please forgive this old minister for my immobile legs and inability to stand. I hope you understand."

Li Xingmao replied, "Prime Minister, there’s no need to blame yourself. Since your legs are immobile, you don’t have to stand."

On the other side, the Wei Family and Mrs. Wei were engaged in conversation.

Today, Mrs. Wei was undoubtedly the most attention-grabbing figure.

Because of the Wei Family’s presence, many titled ladies came to pay their respects to Mrs. Wei.

Mrs. Wei was filled with emotion in her heart, feeling that she had finally endured it all.

Li Yuzhu, in her memory, had never attended such a banquet, but she was not afraid of being questioned.

Mu Yuanxiu also seemed unafraid.

The two conversed gracefully with others.

Some wanted to make things difficult for them, asking strange questions, but they handled them all smoothly.

Many people were secretly surprised; wasn’t it said this son-in-law from the countryside?

Yet, when he spoke, he did not lose to the young masters of the Capital in the least.

Sitting beside Li Xingmao, Chai Eying, who was educated and well-mannered, also conducted herself flawlessly when someone offered a toast.

.

The banquet continued until the second watch before it finally ended.

After the Li Family’s siblings bid farewell to their parents, they each took a carriage to return home.

The carriage of Li Xingmao was the liveliest, owing to the presence of three children.

Li Yu was extremely sleepy, holding onto Li Jing, his eyes already too blurred to open.

Guoguo was also yawning continuously, only Li Jing appeared particularly excited.

He leaned on the window of the carriage, pointing at the Capital in the night, exclaiming, "Look how beautiful that is, oh, how bright that place is. Guoguo, Xiao Yu, look here, look how many people, why haven’t they gone home even though it’s dark?"

What Li Jing saw were the night patrol soldiers, who were on duty at this time, naturally making it crowded.

Chai Eying was also very tired. She leaned on Li Xingmao’s shoulder, not wanting to speak.

Li Xingmao glanced at her, then scolded Li Jing, "Stop making noise. Everyone is tired, and your little brother has already fallen asleep."

Li Jing turned to look, and indeed, apart from himself being excited, everyone else seemed tired.

Only then did Li Jing quiet down.

The Jiafu Palace was right next to the Imperial Palace, just a few hundred steps away.

The carriage ran for a bit and then stopped. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

The eunuchs and palace maids assisted the family in getting off the carriage.

Once off the carriage, Guoguo and Li Yu woke up together again.

An elderly and stable nanny came over, intending to lead the three children walking.

But Li Yu, being shy, refused them. Plus, he was still sleepy and clung to Chai Eying, unwilling to let go, "Mother, mother, carry me."

"Alright, alright, mother will carry you." Chai Eying had no choice but to lift Li Yu up.

Li Xingmao held both Li Jing’s and Guoguo’s hands.

The family entered Jiafu Palace.

Even in the darkness, Chai Eying could still discern the grandeur and magnificence of this little palace compound.

"Your Highness, Madame, please come this way." The Chief Eunuch, holding a lantern, led the way, "The bedroom furnishings are ready for Your Highness and Madame to use tonight. If there’s anything you need, feel free to come to us tomorrow morning to make additions."

Chai Eying nodded, "Thank you, Eunuch."

"This is part of our duty." The Chief Eunuch replied with a smile.

In the back residence of the palace compound, winding their way through, they finally stopped in front of a large courtyard.

Upon entering, there was a yard, with a garden on the left and a small pavilion and a lotus pond on the right. Behind was a row of houses with the main hall in the center and side rooms on each side.

Li Xingmao introduced to Chai Eying how large it was and how many rooms there were.

Chai Eying remembered each detail in her heart.

Seven rooms, enough for their family of five to live in.

Li Xingmao added, "This is just one courtyard in Jiafu Palace. There are three more courtyards like this one in the palace compound. When the children grow up, they can move into separate rooms."

Chai Eying smiled, "Alright."

"It’s late today; tomorrow morning I’ll take you to stroll around this palace compound," Li Xingmao said with a smile.

"Alright," Chai Eying replied wearily.

She was indeed exhausted.

From the laughter.

Speaking for half the day and maintaining a smiling face for just as long.

.

The news of Li Xingmao and his wife moving into Jiafu Palace quickly spread.

By the next day, the entire Capital was aware of it.

On this day, because of the long travel, Li Boxuan did not require Li Xingmao to enter the palace for court. Instead, he instructed him to stay home and get familiar with their new residence and the Capital with his wife and children.

In the morning, Li Xingmao took Chai Eying and the three children on a tour around Jiafu Palace.

Jiafu Palace wasn’t large, not even a quarter of the size of the Lu Ling Royal Mansion.

However, Jiafu Palace was a special palace compound.

It had once been the residence of successive Crown Princes.

The first to arrive at Jiafu Palace after hearing the news was the Xue Family.

She still wore her long dress of plum yellow and the same hat.
