Lin Wan smiled slightly, General Xianghai was slightly blessed, and said politely: "Yes, then General Lao Hai will lead the way." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

General Hai bowed slightly, made a gesture of please, and said, "Lord Wanxin, please!" After speaking, he turned around and walked up the steps towards the palace gate of Shouxi Palace.

Lin Wan followed behind him, slowly walked up the steps, and walked into the Shouxi Palace. After entering the palace gate, I passed through a long corridor, bypassed the front hall, and came to a dormitory at the back.

There is a main hall and two side halls in the backyard, and as soon as I walked into the backyard, I saw Lu Manting coming out of the main hall, looking at Lin Wan and saying with a smile: "Sister Wan'er, you are finally here." ”

Lin Wan smiled, took Lu Manting's hand, and said in a low voice: "Sister Lu, is the Queen Mother inside?"

Lu Manting nodded, leaned into Lin Wan's ear, and said in a low voice: "Sister Wan'er, don't be afraid, the Queen Mother's aunt just wants to see you, and she won't embarrass you." ”

Lin Wan nodded slightly, her eyes shrinking, still revealing her nervousness and timidity.

Lu Manting gently patted Lin Wan's little hand and pulled her into the hall.

The main hall was empty, passing through the hall and entering the small flower hall in the middle, I saw two small palace maids standing at the door, and on the main seat of the flower hall sat a middle-aged woman wearing a purple palace dress, and next to Lin Wan stood the Golden Palm Palace that Lin Wan had seen before.

The middle-aged woman looked to be in her forties, her figure and countenance were extremely well maintained, her waist was like a thin willow, her eyebrows were picturesque, her complexion was calm, and her eyes were as light as water.

Lin Wan couldn't help but sigh secretly, is this the Queen Mother who is about to celebrate her sixtieth birthday? This appearance does not look much older than her daughter Zhou Changying, and she is even better maintained and looks more feminine.

Seeing Lin Wan looking at the Queen Mother blankly, Lu Manting couldn't help but be secretly anxious, pulled her sleeves, and said in a low voice: "Say hello to the Queen Mother." ”

Lin Wan came back to her senses at this time, and hurriedly knelt down on her knees, prostrate on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Wan'er see the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is a thousand years old!" After waiting for a while, she didn't hear the voice that made her "flat", and continued: "Please forgive the Queen Mother, Wan'er saw the Queen Mother for the first time, and was stunned by the Queen Mother's demeanor and appearance for a while. ”

After a long time, a low and slightly hoarse voice suddenly sounded: "Get up." ”

Lin Wan breathed a sigh of relief, kowtowed again, and then slowly stood up, not daring to look up again, trembling and bowing his head, standing respectfully in place.

Lu Qishan looked at Lin Wan carefully, and was secretly surprised in her heart, this is Miss Lin Qi who was born with a phoenix birthmark? This is the Wanxin County Lord who was personally named by the emperor? This is the Wanxin princess of Dongli who was also named the Dongli Kingdom by the King of Dongli? This is Lin Wan'er, who is only twelve years old, but it seems to be very simple?

Lin Wan lowered his head and stood motionless, but he clearly felt a cold gaze staring at him, and faintly felt that there was suspicion, inquiry, disgust, and hostility in that gaze.

After a while, Lu Qishan retracted his gaze and asked lightly: "Lord Wanxin, the mourning family heard that you were frightened at the Qixi banquet and became stupid." However, why did he suddenly recover after making a big fuss in the Second Prince's Mansion?"

Lin Wan was horrified, she didn't expect Lu Qishan to ask such a sharp question as soon as she opened her mouth, and she couldn't help frowning secretly, anxious. In an instant, she calmed down again, thought about it, and then said: "Back to the Queen Mother's words, Wan'er was just frightened, not scared stupid." At first, I was afraid to meet people, so even the imperial doctor thought I was demented. However, since I met the emperor in the Second Prince's Mansion and saw so many people, I suddenly became less afraid. It's like a person who has locked himself up for a long time and is afraid to go out. However, when I really went out, I found that there was nothing to come out, so I was no longer afraid. ”

Lu Qishan nodded slightly, and continued to ask, "Lord Wanxin lives in the Eldest Princess's Mansion now, right?"

Lin Wan nodded and said: "Back to the Queen Mother's words, Wan'er has no strengths, that is, she can still write eye-catching, thanks to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, she will not give up and accept her as an apprentice." Now I am living in the eldest princess's mansion and learning calligraphy with Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. ”

Lu Qishan smiled faintly and said, "You raise your head and show the mourning family." ”

Lin Wan raised her head as she said, but her eyes were lowered, and she didn't dare to look at the Queen Mother's face again.

Lu Qishan chuckled, shook her head, and said, "Sure enough, it's a little beauty! But, why don't you dare to look at the mourning family, is it because the mourning family is very scary?"

Lin Wan timidly raised her eyes and glanced at Lu Qishan, then lowered her head again, and said: "Qiqi Empress Dowager, Wan'er didn't dare to look at the Empress Dowager, because the Empress Dowager was too good-looking, Wan'er was afraid that she would be stunned again, and she would be rude in front of the Empress Dowager." ”

Lu Qishan couldn't help but hook her lips and smile, and said, "Changying came here a few days ago, mentioning you and the county lord of Wuwu, saying that since you and Wuwu lived in the eldest princess's mansion, it has become more like a home, which has brought her a lot of laughter and happiness. When I saw you today, you are really a clever mouth, but you are very good at pleasing people. ”

Lin Wan smiled and said in a low voice: "Thank you Queen Mother for your compliment." ”

Lu Manting also smiled slightly, and said on the side: "Aunt and Grandma Dowager, Manting has long said that after you see Sister Wan'er, you will definitely like her." You see, Manting is not wrong, right?"

Lu Qishan glanced at Lu Manting, smiled faintly, and continued to ask Lin Wan: "Wan'er, if the mourning family is not mistaken, you will be thirteen years old after the New Year, right?"

Lin Wan was shocked, and secretly said that it was not good, but she didn't dare to hesitate, nodded and replied: "Back to the Queen Mother's words, you are not mistaken, Wan'er will be thirteen years old next year." ”

Lu Qishan squinted at Lin Wan, and slowly asked, "Wan'er is not too young, do you have a favorite Lang Jun in your heart?"

Lin Wan's face was suddenly flushed with shame, her head hung lower, and she shook her head again and again: "Please don't make Wan'er's jokes, Wan'er is still young, and she has never thought about this problem." ”

Lu Qishan's face changed suddenly, and she dragged out her voice, "Does the mourning family seem to be joking with you?"

Lin Wan immediately knelt down in fright, kowtowed again and again, and said: "The Queen Mother forgives her sins, the courtiers lost her words for a while, please don't be angry." ”

Lu Qishan raised her chin slightly, lowered her eyes to look at Lin Wan, who was trembling on her knees, and said coldly: "Get up and speak." ”

Lin Wan was so frightened that she didn't dare to say anything, she staggered to her feet, and said in a low voice: "Yes, Queen Mother." ”

Lu Qishan's face was unhappy, she no longer paid attention to Lin Wan, took the tea bowl in the hand of the Golden Palm Palace, opened the lid of the bowl, and slowly touched the red lips.

Suddenly, Lu Qishan's jade wrist flipped over, and a bowl of hot tea was all poured on Lin Wan's feet.
