Entering the palace gate, Zhiruo and his party followed Xiao Guizi forward without squinting, and the steps were hurried, but the gait was still light and steady, and there was no urgency. Including Pan Jiaming, who is known as the head of the gentlemen, and two eight or nine-year-old girls, they are all calm and show good upbringing.

The third prince? Sure enough, he seems to be honest and pure filial piety! Zhiruo snorted coldly in his heart, a person with calculating eyes should actually lower his head when he pretends to be honest. She remembered Liang Dashan's evaluation of the three princes: he was clumsy, but he was really not smart.

The third prince is from Concubine Jin, the foreign family is not obvious, and the mother is not much favored, and there is nothing outstanding about himself, which can be summed up in two words: mediocre.

In the royal family, mediocrity is fortunate or unlucky, depending on whether the person has ambitions. Those who have ambitions are mediocre, and the end is mostly tragic, and they can only complain about God's injustice. The prince who has no ambition is mediocre, but it is a kind of luck, at least he will not become a thorn in the side of the contenders. After people ascend to the throne, in order to show benevolence and generosity, they will also give special preferential treatment to such brothers, as long as they keep to themselves, they will be rich and glorious for a lifetime.

I just don't know what kind of person the third prince belongs to just now? However, as long as he is not the one behind Mr. Yu, I know that if he is not interested, he will be stupid or stupid.

There was no free time in his head, and he didn't feel much far when he walked, and as soon as he heard Xiao Guizi's reminder "arrived", a sharp voice came from his ears: "Master Ming Shizi has arrived! Lingya County Lord has arrived! Xiao Bangyan has arrived! Young Master of the Yin family has arrived! The girl of the Yin family has arrived!"

Zhiruo raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Guizi, who had withdrawn to the door of the main hall and stood at some point, and looked at Pan Jiaming, not knowing whether he wanted to enter the hall directly or wait.

Before Pan Jiaming could speak, he saw a father-in-law about forty years old with floating dust in his hand coming out of the hall and said to Pan Jiaming: "The emperor and Niangniang should first summon Miss Yin alone, and ask the prince to take a few others to sit in the side hall." ”

Pan Jiaming: "...... However, looking at the emperor's attitude towards Mingze Minghui a few days ago, as well as Dafuzi's expression, there should be no problem. What's more, the queen's aunt is also there, and the aunt has never believed that Yin Zhao and the county lord of Qianxin will betray the emperor, after Xiao Ling'er was assassinated and rescued, the aunt has a very good impression of the Yin family sisters and brothers.

Zhiruo was not much surprised, she is now the head of the Yin family, and her younger brothers and sisters are not yet adults, what the emperor wants to say, he must have said it to her. She shook her head slightly at the younger siblings who were all looking at her with a worried face, and Zhiruo only whispered: "It's okay, you follow Ming Shizi, don't worry." "The emperor specially asked the prefect to send someone to escort them to Beijing to participate in the palace banquet, just to unite the army's heart, how could he make trouble for their Yin family at this time? At most...... is to let her take out the silver again and do something like the establishment of the soldiers' home to boost the morale of the army. However, the emperor shouldn't be so shallow as to covet her silver, right?

After gathering his mind, Zhiruo bent his knees to Dafuzi's father-in-law: "Please ask your father-in-law for guidance." ”

Dafuzi nodded: "Miss Yin, please come with our family." ”

Zhiruo followed behind Dafuzi, her head was slightly lowered, she was not panicked, her gait was elegant, and there was a kind of stability on her body that was beyond her age. Before the person approached, the emperor and queen who were sitting on the high seat nodded slightly. Of course, the one with his eyebrows lowered does not know. She only saw from the corner of her eye that in the entire hall, except for her, there were only the emperor and the father-in-law of Dafuzi, and even the queen was not even a person who was serving.

Walking to the middle of the main hall, Zhiruo knelt down and bowed: "The courtier Yin Zhiruo knocks to see Your Majesty and Niangniang." Long live my emperor, long live, long live, mother, ”

Dafuzi was shocked, what is the matter with this girl? She should call herself the daughter of a criminal minister, no matter what, Yin Zhao really resisted the decree, and she won't float just because she was able to participate in the palace banquet, right?

Sure enough, the emperor didn't call out for a long time, but looked at Zhiruo who was kneeling on the ground with deep eyes.

There was silence in the hall, and if a sewing needle fell on the ground at this time, it was estimated that it would startle everyone.

Zhiruo felt a tingling pain in his knee, but his kneeling body remained motionless.

Although Zhiruo's eyebrows were lowered and she couldn't see her eyes, everyone in the hall could still see that there was no panic or fear on her face.

For a long, long time, the queen couldn't help but move her lips, but she sighed secretly and closed her mouth again.

Finally, the emperor spoke: "Grievance for your father?"

"Yes, the courtiers believe in their father's loyalty to the emperor. ”

"You hate me?"

"Father said that thunder, rain and dew are all royal graces. ”

"You want me to forgive your father's innocence?"

"The courtiers have not found any evidence. ”

"So what?"

"The courtiers are not qualified for the time being. ”

"You still complain that I couldn't find the person who killed your father?"

"Thunder, rain and dew are all imperial graces. "Since they all asked like this, it means that the emperor knows it in his heart, is there any point in asking like this?

"......" the emperor smiled angrily, "Okay, you are very good, but you are not like the delicate girl in Yin Zhao's mouth." ”

Zhiruo was shocked: "Zhiruo is the eldest daughter." ”

"Okay, what an eldest daughter!" the emperor laughed, "Even if Yin Zhao is really wronged, with an eldest daughter like you, you can be blinded." Flatten!"

Zhiruo kowtowed again: "Thank you for the emperor, Niangniang." Only then did he get up slowly, his brow furrowed slightly, but it was fleeting.

The queen hurriedly said: "Dafuzi, get a chair for Miss Yin." "This girl also grew up with thousands of pets, she knelt for so long just now, and she didn't even have a mat, but now she just frowned, and she really completely inherited the stubbornness and tenacity of her parents in her bones.

"Xie Niangniang!" Zhiruo was not hypocritical, sat down on the chair generously, and nodded to Dafuzi's father-in-law to express his gratitude.

The emperor spoke again, and there was obviously more kindness in his voice, and even a little kindness: "You are indeed very good, at least teach your two younger brothers well." "In such a situation, I can still invite the two brothers to the master and Mr. who can't be asked for by others. Although this also requires fate, it is obviously indispensable to the reason for this girl in the hall. Gluttony, good wine, hehe.

The two of them are the hope of reviving the Yin family and continuing their father's ambition to serve the country and be loyal to the monarch. "Zhiruo is still calm, and he is not shocked by the humiliation.

"Good!" the emperor praised again, "I will continue to hand over this hope to you, and I hope to hear good news from them for the scientific expedition in the spring." ”

Zhiruo finally showed a hint of excitement: "Scientific expedition?

The emperor was stunned: "When did I say that they couldn't participate in the scientific examination?" Not to mention the crime of treason, even the crime of resisting the decree has not been convicted, and the property of the house has not been confiscated.
