Not long after Lin Wan and Zhou Lingwei returned to the main hall of the National Palace banquet, Jin Haoran also returned. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Most of the guests in the palace have dispersed, and the envoys of various countries have already said goodbye to their masters and returned to the inn.

Tonight, the palace gate will be open until Hai Shi, and Gonggong Qi arranged for the chamberlains and guards to send the envoys out of the palace.

The palace maids were busy cleaning up in the hall, shuttling quietly between the banquets, quietly. The huge state banquet palace is still crowded, but it is a lot quieter.

Only occasionally can I hear a few men who were already drunk, still holding their glasses, staggering to their feet, falling down again, but still not giving up, standing up again, and indistinctly greeting to their companions: "Come, have another drink!"

Several officials were bidding farewell to Lin Zhihuai, and Lin Zhihuai had already dressed up and planned to leave the palace and go home.

After the officials were gone, Lin Wan walked to Lin Zhihuai's side, bowed obediently, and asked with a smile: "Father, are you planning to go back?"

Lin Zhihuai smiled and nodded, looking at his daughter who was out of the limelight tonight, but knew how to advance and retreat, his eyes were full of appreciation, he nodded, and said, "Everyone is almost scattered, and my father is going back to the house, is Wan'er going with my father?"

Lin Wan smiled slightly, shook her head, and said, "Father, Wan'er won't be back home today, and Aunt Yu will stay in the palace for a few days." After a pause, seeing Lin Zhihuai nodding, he continued: "Father, Prince Ximen proposed to the emperor that he would also come to live in our mansion, and I have agreed on your behalf, please don't blame my father." ”

Lin Zhihuai frowned slightly, but he still nodded, and said, "Wan'er did the right thing, this matter can't be refused no matter what, so naturally it is necessary to respond." ”

Lin Wan thought for a while, and then said, "Father, Brother Bei has moved to the Affection Hospital with Sister Huixin. There is no need to rearrange it, just let Prince Ximen go and live with Brother Jin. ”

Lin Zhihuai hesitated a little and said, "In this way, I'm afraid it's not good, is it a little lazy?"

Lin Wan smiled and shook his head, and said, "Father treats him like Big Brother North and Brother Jin, and there is no need to deliberately respect him, so that the guests can be more comfortable." As he spoke, he lowered his voice again and said, "With Brother Jin to help watch, we can also worry a little less." ”

Lin Zhihuai smiled faintly, nodded, and said, "Since that's the case, let's do as you say." After a pause, he lowered his voice and instructed: "You should also be careful in everything in the palace." The Queen Mother was reluctant to personally manage the affairs of the harem, but with so many things happening in recent months, the Queen Mother may not be able to sit still. Especially since the lord of Heshuo County lived in the Shouxi Palace, the Queen Mother not only interfered in the affairs of the later officials, but also cared very much about the government affairs of the previous dynasty. Otherwise, he would not have agreed to the emperor to hold such a grand birthday banquet, let alone personally attend the dust washing banquet of the envoys of various countries. ”

Lin Wan couldn't help frowning when she heard this, and said secretly, it's Lu Manting again! Lin Wan nodded, took a deep breath, curled her lips and smiled, and said gratefully: "Thank you father for reminding me." ”

Lin Zhihuai has been operating in the court for many years, whether it is the harem or the changes in the previous dynasty. Last time, Lin Wan was injured in Shouxi Palace, and he had already begun to pay attention to it secretly. It was discovered that the Lu family had also made changes recently, and they were more active than before in wooing the ministers of the DPRK and China and meeting privately. Even, Lu Laoguogong, who has never participated in this kind of banquet, came in person today.

Lin Wan followed Lin Zhihuai and sent him to the door of the main hall, and the father and daughter chatted while walking. Lin Zhihuai smiled kindly, and Lin Wan was also very obedient and respectful. When people saw it, they couldn't help but envy Prime Minister Lin Cheng for giving birth to a good daughter, who was both capable and filial.

On the other side, Lin Ruichen was already drunk, but his eyes were clear and his mind should be quite clear. sent away the two friends, and when he turned around, he happened to see Lin Zhihuai and Lin Wan coming out of the hall.

Lin Ruichen smiled faintly, walked up to Lin Zhihuai, bowed, and said respectfully: "Father, the child will send you back to the house first, and then go back to the barracks." ”

Lin Zhihuai nodded and smiled with satisfaction, and said, "Chen'er......"

Lin Wan hurriedly stopped and said, "Father, Wan'er thinks that my brother should send Sister Wuwu back to the eldest princess's mansion first." Her Royal Highness the eldest princess had a very good impression of her brother last time, and Sister Wuwu performed on the same stage with our brothers and sisters today, which helped Wan'er a lot. Shouldn't my brother express his gratitude and send Sister Wuwu back?"

Lin Zhihuai frowned and looked at Lin Wan, seeing that her face was full of sly and excited smiles, she secretly wondered in her heart, what idea is this girl having, does she even want to interfere in Ruichen's family affairs?

However, after thinking about it, this Ning Wuwu is outstanding in appearance, and she is the niece of the eldest princess, and she is also a good match with Lin Ruichen. Although her past experience was not very glamorous, she still knew that she was clean and her reputation was not too bad. The Ning family has been rehabilitated, and she has also been made the county lord, so naturally no one dares to make a fuss about her past.

It's just that I heard that the third prince Zhou Tianzheng is also very interested in her, how can Ruichen compete with the third prince?

Lin Wan knew Lin Zhihuai's concerns, so he didn't say more, and explained: "Father doesn't have to worry too much, my brother just sent my worry-free sister back, and it shouldn't cause any gossip." What's more, my brother wants to go back to the camp in the southern suburbs, and he is just stopping by. ”

Lin Zhihuai saw that Lin Ruichen's eyes were earnest, his expression was worried, and he seemed to have some expectations for Naning Wuwu, so he couldn't help but chuckle and shook his head, and said, "Your brother is going to the south, and the eldest princess's mansion is on Wangfu West Street." Wan'er, you say, is it really just a drop-by?"

Lin Wan grinned, no longer quibbled, and looked very coquettish, but very pleasing.

Lin Zhihuai sighed lightly, nodded, and instructed Lin Ruichen: "Okay, the county lord and Wan'er are sisters, Chen'er should ask Wan'er to help, and it should be delivered." Be careful on the road, act in a measured manner, and don't make any mistakes, you know?"

Lin Ruichen was overjoyed, nodded hurriedly, and responded, "Yes, father." Rest assured father, the child must be careful!"

Lin Zhihuai nodded, said no more, and walked towards the outside of the hall.

On the palace road not far away, there are horse-drawn carriages with wooden plates of various prefectures parked. Chief Manager Wu stood by several carriages in the Lin Mansion, waiting for Lin Zhihuai and the distinguished guests of the Lin Mansion to get on the car.

Lin Zhihuai explained a few words to Chief Manager Wu, and then got into the carriage, and the carriage slowly walked outside the palace under the guidance of the palace attendants.

Chief Manager Wu did not leave, still guarding in front of the three carriages of the Lin Mansion. He had to stay, settle the guests, and go back with them.

Lin Wan and Lin Ruichen returned to the main hall, only to see the drunk Zhou Tianxing and Liu Jinfeng pestering Ning Wuwu and Zhao Jing'er, muttering something vaguely.
