Du's mother returns to the Compassion Hall to report to the old lady, and Lin Wan takes Green Willow and Fluttershy back to the Autumn Garden to prepare.

Lin Wan had a headache, she didn't want to participate in tonight's banquet at all, not to mention that there was the Prince of Xiling who loved to watch the excitement and the Nanyue princess who wanted to trouble her.

What does this emperor and queen mean? For the sake of his country, the emperor will certainly not let the niece of General Pingnan go to make peace, but if he is determined to bring down the Zhao family, it will be another matter, and the sacred heart is hard to guess!

However, the queen's idea is very simple, she doesn't want Lin Wan to be the crown princess, and she doesn't want Lin Wan to marry other princes, so if Lin Wan marries to another country, it will be the best result.

Of course, the candidate for the crown princess in the queen's heart will only be the Lu family. Lu Manting has only had Zhou Tianqi in her heart since she was a child, everyone in the palace knows it, and the queen has not stopped it. is because although the queen mother likes Lu Manting, the queen mother prefers Lu Manyi, the eldest lady of the Lu family.

This Lu Manyi has already passed last year, and she has not discussed her relatives, so she is waiting for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet to choose the crown princess this year. Although she is not as famous as Lu Manting, she has been raised according to the queen's standards since she was a child, and her talent and etiquette are even better than Lu Manting.

Thinking of Lu Manyi, Lin Wan remembered that it was rarely mentioned in the script, mainly because she was not young, and she got married soon before she could marry the prince, and she didn't know who she was marrying, and it was unknown what story she had in between.

Lin Wan's thoughts quickly drifted away, she didn't want to always worry about what didn't happen, no matter what Ximen Yuqing and Lan Ziyue were thinking, in short, the soldiers would come to block it, and the water would cover it, what could they really do to her?

Back in the Autumn Garden, Lin Wan unveiled the yellow brocade silk, only to see a yellow brocade box in the middle of the tray, and a jade Ruyi on both sides, the style is exactly the same, the color and craftsmanship are very good.

Lifting the brocade box, Lin Wan's eyes suddenly lit up, and there was a night pearl the size of a dragon's eye lying in the brocade box, with a faint brilliance all over the body. Although she couldn't see the effect during the day, Lin Wan liked this reward very much, she usually felt that the ancient oil lamps and candlesticks were too inconvenient to use, and it would be great if this night pearl was really as good as the legend.

Lin Wan asked Luliu to put away the night pearl and jade ruyi, turned around and went to bed, planning to sleep first, so that he could get up at night and entertain those princes and princesses, alas, who let himself not cross over to the body of the unruly princess? After thinking about it, Lin Wan shook his head again, no, the princess can't help it, it's better to be a commoner.

Thinking about it, Lin Wan fell asleep, carefree and dreamless.

At the beginning of the day, Lin Wan ate some pastries, began to dress up, changed into palace clothes, and when everything was ready, Du's mother led Gonggong Li to come.

Gonggong Li was waiting at the door, and Mother Du hurriedly walked in, and said with a smile: "Miss Seven, Concubine Yu Niangniang sent Gonggong Li to pick you up, saying that she would keep you in her palace for a few days, you can clean up and bring some belongings, although there is everything in the palace, it is better to prepare some by yourself." ”

Lin Wan nodded, very grateful for Mother Du's kind reminder, and immediately instructed Luliu to prepare, and went to bid farewell to Zhao Liniang, explaining that she would go to the palace to live for a few days. Zhao Liniang was a little worried, Lin Wan said that with Aunt Yu here, as well as Qingtong, Wang Qi, and Gale Wind, there would be absolutely no problem. Zhao Liniang was a little relieved, but she still repeatedly told her that she must be careful everywhere in the palace.

After a while, Qingtong and Wang Qi walked out with a big burden, Lin Wan smiled slightly, and took the two out of the Autumn Garden.

When Gonggong Li saw Lin Wan coming out, he hurriedly smiled and saluted: "The old slave has seen Miss Seven!"

Lin Wan bowed back and said with a smile: "Gonggong Li doesn't have to be polite, Wan'er still wants to thank you for coming to pick me up." ”

Gonggong Li didn't say anything more, made a gesture of please, and walked outside the house with Lin Wan.

As soon as I walked to the front yard, I saw Lin Zhihuai wearing an official uniform from a distance and walked over. Walking closer, Lin Wan bent his knees and said, "Father!"

Lin Zhihuai nodded and said, "I heard that Wan'er is also going to attend the banquet in the palace, so my father is planning to change his clothes and enter the palace with Wan'er." Since the Jade Concubine Niangniang sent someone to pick it up, it would be okay for her father to join a few colleagues later. As he spoke, he said to Gong Li: "There is Gong Li." ”

Gonggong Li bowed and said: "Lin Xiang doesn't have to be polite, Concubine Yu treats Miss Seven as her own, I heard that Miss Seven is going to enter the palace, I am very happy, I want to take Miss Seven into the palace, see you first, and then take this opportunity to leave Miss Seven in the palace for a few days, I don't know what Lin Xiangyi will do?"

Lin Zhihuai thought for a while, nodded and said: "It's good for Wan'er to follow Concubine Yu Niangniang to learn the rules of the palace in the palace, then Concubine Lao Yu Niangniang and Gonggong Li will take care of the little girl more." ”

Gonggong Li hurriedly bowed down and said: "Don't dare, this is the old slave's business, and the old slave must do his best." ”

Lin Wan curtsied and said, "Father, then the daughter will go to the palace to see Aunt Yu." ”

Lin Zhihuai nodded and said, "Go ahead." After saying that, he turned around and walked to the outer study.

The dinner party began, because it was still early, the officials attending the banquet had not yet arrived, and the palace was full of busy palace maids and eunuchs. The guards checked very carefully, but Gonggong Li was generally able to pass after greeting, and only when he was at the gate of the palace, he lifted the curtain and showed the general guarding the door that there were no suspicious people hiding in the carriage, and let him go.

When Lin Wan came to the Yulin Palace, it was already Shen, and Concubine Yu was sitting in front of the mirror, and Qizhen was helping her comb her hair. Seeing Lin Wan coming, Concubine Yu turned her head and greeted, "Wan'er is here, you can sit down for a while, and then talk to you when I comb my hair." ”

"Yes, Aunt Yu. Lin Wan walked behind Concubine Yu, looked at the beauty in the mirror, her makeup was exquisite, her eyebrows were affectionate, and she couldn't find any traces of time, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's so beautiful, Aunt Yu is the most beautiful beauty Wan'er has ever seen!"

Concubine Yu didn't move, looked at Lin Wan in the mirror, and said with a sneer: "You, you know how to make Aunt Yu happy, Aunt Yu is old, how can she compare with you little girls." Wan'er is still young, and in another year or two, she will definitely be able to compare with all the girls in the capital. At that time, Aunt Yu will be an old woman. ”

Lin Wan walked to Concubine Yu, looked at the beautiful face in the mirror, and said enviously: "How can Wan'er coax Aunt Yu to be happy, Wan'er is telling the truth, Aunt Yu has not aged at all over the years, not only has the years been traceless, but has become more and more beautiful." Where is Wan'er worthy of one of Aunt Yu's ten thousand?" a palace maid very cleverly brought a brocade stool for her to sit on.

Concubine Yu looked at Lin Wan in the mirror and said gently: "Wan'er has been a beauty since she was a child, and she has grown a lot taller and richer recently, and now she is already a little beauty." Concubine Yu sighed slightly: "The beauty of a woman, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse?"

Lin Wan sat quietly beside Concubine Yu, looking at the beauty in the mirror frowning slightly, pursing her red lips, and her eyes were full of sadness.

Lin Wan couldn't help but feel sour in her heart, and she didn't know if it was for this slightly sorrowful beauty, or for her future that she didn't dare to think about?
