Lin Wan stopped, looked at Zhou Lingwei's eyes, and said with a smile: "Every girl has to marry when she grows up, it doesn't matter if she marries far or near, what matters is whether the person she marries is with her own mind and whether she is good to herself." ”

Zhou Lingwei's heart moved, and she always felt that Lin Wan looked at her as if she had gained insight into her own thoughts, Zhou Lingwei's heart was on guard, and her eyes narrowed unconsciously.

Lin Wan looked at her expression, feeling very similar to Zhou Tianqi, smiled, opened her mouth, did not make a sound, and slowly, with a mouth shape that only Zhou Lingwei could see: "Xiaowei, it's me." ”

Zhou Lingwei looked at Lin Wan carefully with wide eyes, suddenly realized, and replied with her mouth: "Master Wan?"

Lin Wan nodded with a smile and motioned for her to continue walking.

Zhou Lingwei took Lin Wan's hand and walked forward together, looking at Lin Wan with sparkling eyes, but thinking in her heart that the person that Seventh Brother liked was her, no wonder she was so estranged from Sister Manting.

Lin Wan knew what she was thinking, but she wasn't worried. Since Zhou Tianqi is willing to take her to meet with himself and others, then she must be credible, and Brother Jin has a relationship with her, so she will be her own person after all.

Lin Wan saw that Concubine Yu and Concubine De were far away, and the palace maid behind her was only following from a distance, and said in a low voice: "Princess, you and I are the same year, and we will only meet after three years, you have to believe them, three years is enough." ”

Zhou Lingwei listened, her eyes lit up, and she nodded.

Lin Wan lowered his voice and said, "Now, you can't let anyone know, tonight, you may see him, don't let anyone see it, understand?"

Zhou Lingwei turned her head in surprise and asked Lin Wan with a suspicious look, but Lin Wan just nodded firmly at her.

The two stopped talking, and walked forward hand in hand. But Zhou Lingwei was very excited, so she could only lower her head to hide the panic in her heart.

Lin Wan understood her feelings, and no longer persuaded her, but just held her hand tightly and gave her strength.

"The concubines see the queen mother, the imperial concubine mother!" Concubine Yu and Concubine De bowed their knees at the same time and saluted in front of them.

The palace maids and eunuchs around him also knelt on the ground and said in unison: "The slave maid (slave) meets the queen mother, the imperial concubine mother, the mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"

Zhou Lingwei pulled Lin Wan forward, bowed to Yingying, and said, "Wei'er sees the queen mother, the imperial concubine, the lady concubine!"

Lin Wan also bowed down in a proper manner, and said: "The courtier Lin Wan'er sees the queen's mother, the imperial concubine's mother, and the lady's concubine!

"Flat!" a majestic woman's voice. Sure enough, the voice is like the person, and the voice is very consistent with the image of the queen in Lin Wan's imagination.

Lin Wan stood up slowly, still keeping her head down, she didn't have the slightest curiosity about the three noble women in front of her, as early as when she was studying the script, she already knew the details of these two women very well.

The queen is a serious and cold person, and Concubine Liu is a seemingly harmless woman, but her heart is like a femme fatale. Concubine Shu is a little older, and she is the first side concubine that the emperor married when he was still a prince, but the queen is the first to look forward.

And they are not terrible, what is really terrible is the Queen Mother, the woman who always has half-closed eyes and speaks weakly, but she has insight into the overall situation and controls the harem. The Queen Mother liked Lu Manting very much, and originally wanted Lu Manting to marry into the Prince's Mansion, but although the emperor has always been very obedient to the Queen Mother, he did not let the Queen Mother get her wish in this matter. After Lin Wan'er became the crown princess, the queen mother made things difficult for her in every way, and later Lin Qinglan and Liu Fangyao entered the prince's mansion and were also the queen mother's masters.

"Manting see Concubine Yu, Concubine De!"

"Fang Yao see Concubine Yu, Concubine De!"

"It's all your own family, you don't have to be polite!" Concubine Yu pulled up Lu Manting and praised: "Manting is really dressed up today, and Fang Yao is also very beautiful, no wonder the people of the capital say that you are the best in the capital, and your talent and appearance are among the best in the capital." ”

"The Jade Concubine loves to laugh, where is Manting so good. Lu Manting looked shy, and I really felt pity.

And Liu Fangyao, who was on the side, saw Lu Manting's appearance, and immediately became jealous, and her eyes turned red. Although she also knew that Lu Manting liked the Seventh Prince, she had a grudge against anyone who might compete with her for the position of crown princess, including Lu Manting.

"Let's go, the feast is about to begin. The queen was expressionless, turned around and walked towards the State Banquet Palace.

The concubines followed in turn, and Lin Wan and the girls walked at the end together. The third princess walked in front of several girls with her head down, and Liu Fangyao followed behind her.

Lu Manting took a few steps back, came to Lin Wan's side, took her hand enthusiastically, and asked with a smile, "Sister Wan'er, why are you here too?"

Lin Wan looked up at Lu Manting, who was half a head taller than herself, and smiled happily: "My sister misses my sister, so I'm here!"

Lu Manting didn't expect Lin Wan to answer like this, she was slightly stunned, and then said angrily: "Sister Wan'er is really good at talking, if she really misses me, she won't come to the palace to play with me for so many days." ”

"My sister suffered from a cold a few days ago, and I was afraid that I would be sick to my sister, no, I came to see my sister as soon as I got better. Lin Wan smiled half-truthfully.

Lu Manting immediately showed a worried look, and asked Lin Wan's physical condition with concern, the two of them whispered a word, others thought that the two of them must be very good, but no one knew what they were thinking. Lin Wan has always been unsure of what kind of person Lu Manting is, but she always feels that she is not as innocent as she seems.

The State Banquet Palace is on the east side of the palace, and when they leave the harem, the concubines and ladies each got into the carriage that had been prepared, and it took half an hour to reach the door of the State Banquet Palace.

The State Banquet Palace is a very solemn and sacred place from the outside, but as soon as you walk in, you can hear the melodious sound of the piano, you can see the beautiful dance, the civil and military officials have arrived, and every two people have a table to talk about it.

"The queen mother, the imperial concubine, the lady concubine, the jade concubine, and the concubine de concubine have arrived!" the eunuch screamed.

The ministers stood up, walked out from behind the table and knelt down, followed by Prime Minister Liu Cheng in the first row on the left and shouted in unison: "The ministers see the queen mother, the imperial concubine, the lady concubine, the jade concubine, the concubine De concubine, the mother is a thousand years old!"

The queen raised her palms weakly, her voice was friendly, and she said loudly: "Zhongqing is flat!"

The ministers stood up and bowed down.

From a distance, Lin Wan saw his second uncle Zhao Fengwen in the back of the crowd, his grandfather Zhao Zhengxiang in the front row, and his father Lin Zhihuai in the first row on the right.

On the high platform, in the middle is the throne of the emperor and the queen, and four or five long tables are placed on each side. After the queen took her seat, the imperial concubine and the concubine had a table, the jade concubine and the concubine de had a table, Zhou Lingwei and Liu Fangyao had a table, and Lin Wan and Lu Manting had a table.
