Two days flew by.

In the past two days, Ji Qian, the commander of the security battalion, has led the army to completely wipe out Heishui Village, and Lin Mo's plan to kill Zhang Guo and Fu Yunsheng and blame the bandits in Heishui Village can be regarded as a complete success.

As for Lin Mo himself, he went to the court every day as usual, and after the morning court, he went to Xiao Shuya to make up for sleep, and now the adultery between the two can be regarded as perfect.

Early this morning, Lin Mo yawned and turned over, Bai Zhilan took a crown dress for Lin Mo, and asked, "Husband, today is the time for the princess of the Western Regions to arrive in the imperial capital!"

"I heard that the princess of the Western Regions stayed at the state guesthouse yesterday, and today should be the time for the court to meet the Emperor Daqian and discuss the marriage, and it should be a palace banquet at noon!"

This girl is a gossip person, so Lin Mo also gave her a three-person night team, specifically asking her about this gossip trail.

"By the way, Zhilan, I heard that Xue Jingshu, the concubine of King Rong, is going to follow Xue Xu back to Jeju after the court meeting?" In the past two days, Xue Jingshu's arrival has never stopped, and Lin Mo doesn't know how they have so much to say.

Dressed in a crown dress for Lin Mo and a seven-beam crown hat for him, Bai Zhilan nodded her head and said, "Yes, I don't know why King Rong suddenly asked Sister Jingshu to return to Jeju to celebrate the New Year with Xue Xu." ”

"Then who knows, I don't know what King Rong thinks again, it's almost the New Year's Day, and he will rush his daughter-in-law to Jeju, is it because Xue Jingshu's marriage relationship is about to break down?" Lin Mo guessed wildly.

"Probably not. Bai Zhilan thought for a while, felt that Lin Mo's was a little unreasonable, and refuted: "Sister Jingshu's face is ruddy, and she is more delicate than flowers, so it can be seen that she should be very affectionate with King Rong!"

"What if it's not King Rong who is in love with Xue Jingshu!"

As soon as Lin Mo's words came out, Bai Zhilan glanced at Lin Mo: "Husband Junjing said nonsense, Sister Jingshu is a gentle person, how can she do such a thing, if it is not King Herong, who else can she talk to?"

As she spoke, Bai Zhilan's beautiful eyes suddenly looked at Lin Mo, and said with a smile: "I said husband, Sister Jingshu comes to the house every day, and she is dressed beautifully and extraordinarily, you don't want to pay attention to Sister Jingshu, right?"

"You girl, such a tone and a city-like learning?" Lin Mo pinched Bai Zhilan's Yao nose: "Although Xue Jingshu was born as glamorous, how can her husband have the guts, that is Princess Rong!"

"Didn't you?" Bai Zhilan touched the pinched Yao nose, and said with a smile: "The concubine is still the lord of Liang State, didn't the husband sneak into the palace of King Liang and deceive the concubine?"

"Husband, how can it be called a deception!" Lin Mo pulled Bai Zhilan into his arms, and said with a wicked smile: "We call it love at first sight, and it's hard to help yourself!"

"Okay, my husband is going to go to the morning court, Zhilan will sleep for a while!" As he spoke, Lin Mo kissed Bai Zhilan on the forehead in a light gauze nightgown, put her on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and was about to turn around and leave.

Bai Zhilan took Lin Mo's hand, blinked her beautiful eyes and asked, "Husband, after the imperial meeting, Sister Jingshu is going to leave the imperial capital, do you want to send her?"

Lin Mo thought for a moment and said, "Go ahead, after all, you are good sisters, and you come to the door every day on weekdays, and you have close contacts with my Lin Mansion, so your husband should say goodbye to you together!"

"Okay, Zhilan sleeps obediently, and the husband has gone to court!" After speaking, Lin Mo came to the door, picked up the snow cloak, tied it, and went out of the room.

Out of the door, out of the inner courtyard, and when he came to the front yard, Lin Mo saw Liu Ruoshui.

At this moment, Liu Ruoshui was lying comfortably on a rocking chair in the small pavilion, wearing a warm-looking velvet blanket, with a charcoal fire burning next to her, watching the servants busy clearing the snow, and she herself was very comfortable.

In the past two days, Liu Ruoshui's shelf has been completely set up, not to mention dressed luxuriously, except for occasionally rubbing Lin Mo, she has completely lived a life like a noblewoman.

"If the water is so comfortable, this kind of life is really compared to many young ladies of the family. Walking to Liu Ruoshui, Lin Mo teased her.

Hearing Lin Mo's voice, Liu Ruoshui hurriedly stood up and saluted, not caring about the velvet blanket that fell on the ground, and called out with a little red on her pretty face: "My lord!"

Lin Mo nodded, "Hmm", turned around and summoned a maid who was clearing the snow, and ordered, "Go to Ruoshui's room and get a warm snow cloak." ”

"Yes, sir!" said the maidservant respectfully, and hurried away.

"My lord, what are you going to do? Aren't you going to the court?" Glancing at the back of the maidservant leaving, Liu Ruoshui asked curiously as she looked at Lin Mo.

"You'll find out later. ”

After a while, the maid took a snow cloak and retreated, Lin Mo took the snow cloak and put it on for Liu Ruoshui personally, and then grabbed her waist and said, "Go, follow me to the court, and take you to see Luan Ying Palace." ”

Liu Ruoshui was immediately stunned, and hurriedly said: "My lord, if Ruoshui is a woman and a slave, how can I go to the court with you, let alone enter the sacred place such as Luanying Hall to receive VIPs from other countries." ”

Lin Mo walked outside the mansion while holding Liu Ruoshui's waist, and said: "Today's early dynasty is different, today the prince of the Western Regions will meet the emperor and the queen mother, at noon, to set up a banquet for the princess of the Western Regions in the Luanying Palace, and the queen mother will allow the first-class officials to take their daughters there." ”

"Then the adults should take the three ladies there, if Shui is just a slave, how can he ......" Liu Ruoshui was flattered and said, and was suddenly picked up by Lin Mo.

"How can you be a slave, you are also one of my ladies now!" Lin Mo smiled evilly, and under the sight of all the servants, he hugged Liu Ruoshui and got four horses and silver horses.

Lin Mo originally wanted to take one of Bai Zhilan's three daughters to the palace banquet, but after thinking about it, Lin Mo still decided to take Liu Ruoshui to go, this Liu Ruoshui's identity is not ordinary, taking her to reassure King Rong's heart, and also to curry favor with Empress Dowager Xuanshu on the surface.

Xi Feng and Qiu Yun also glanced at each other, drove in front, and went straight to the Taiji Temple.

In the car, Liu Ruoshui, who was a little frightened, sat in Lin Mo's arms, with a curious look on her face: "My lord, why did the Empress Dowager Xuanshu want to allow the first-class officials to go with their daughters? What does this mean?"

"How do I know, I'll know at the palace banquet at noon later!" Lin Mo shook his head, and suddenly looked at Liu Ruoshui and smiled evilly: "Now we have more important things to do!"

"What's the matter? Ruoshui will definitely do his best to help the adults, bow ......" Liu Ruoshui was about to say, but Lin Mo instantly blocked his lips with his mouth.

Half an hour later, outside the Tai Chi Temple.

Lin Mo hugged Liu Ruoshui's waist and stood aside, unscrupulously crooked with her, while some courtiers talked about Lin Mo, saying something like "so presumptuous in broad daylight, what kind of system has it become".

was tired of crookedness, Lin Mo saw King Rong leading Xu Qiuniang towards him, even if he stopped, he still held Liu Ruoshui in his arms, and Liu Ruoshui was in Lin Mo's arms with beautiful eyes.

"It's good to be young, Lin Shangqing was so interested in the morning!" Walking closer, King Rong looked at the two of them and said with some envy.

Lin Mo was quite ashamed and helpless and said: "His Royal Highness King Rong, there is no way to do it below, my beautiful posture is really charming, take her by your side, and you can't control it a little below!"

"Hahaha, Lin Shangqing is really a man of temperament, wonderful, wonderful!" Xuanyuan said loudly, looked at Liu Ruoshui again, and asked: "I heard that this beauty in Lin Shangqing's arms was rewarded by the Queen Mother?"

"It doesn't matter who rewarded her!" Lin Mo tightened his hand holding Liu Ruoshui's waist, and said quite domineeringly: "As long as Ben Qing likes it, she is Ben Qing's and only belongs to Ben Qing." ”

"If the Queen Mother hears this, she will definitely be happy!" King Rong smiled heartily again, but Xu Qiuniang beside him secretly looked at Liu Ruoshui.

As soon as King Rong's laughter fell, Lin Mo was about to paint, when he saw Xuanyuan with his more fruitful wife, and Yu Ping also walked over.

On the day of the dispute between Baili Allure and Yu Ping, Xuanyuan sent the flying money worth 10,000 gold leaves in the afternoon of the same day, and after sending it, it was divided by the three daughters of Baili Allure.

"What are His Royal Highness King Rong talking about with Lin Shangqing, they are chatting so happily, can you let Zai listen to it too?" Xuanyuan walked over, gave a symbolic salute, and asked curiously.

"I'm talking about this lady in Lin Shangqing's arms!" King Rong replied with a smile: "Oh, by the way, this lady seems to have been rewarded to Lin Shangqing by the Queen Mother and her family, Xuan Shangqing should be happy!"

"His Royal Highness King Rong said very much, I should be happy in the next, hahaha......" Xuanyuan immediately laughed, but he hated King Rong in his heart.

Hmph, do you think this woman is a person from your Rongwang faction, Ben Qing still doesn't know? Do you think Lin Ziyong has been biased towards you, after the court meeting, Ben Qing is waiting for you when King Rong is crying.

Lin Mo, who was holding the beauty, smiled and didn't say anything, just quietly watched King Rong and Xuanyuan's words clash.

After laughing, Xuanyuan motioned for Yu Ping to take a step forward, and then bowed to Lin Mo, and said quite guiltily: "Lin Shangqing is really embarrassed, a few days ago, Neizi made disrespectful remarks on the street, offended you, offended your wife, and I solemnly apologize to you here!"

As he spoke, he gestured to Yu Ping with his eyes, and Yu Ping, who was unwilling, could only salute Lin Mo and apologize: "Lin Shangqing is sorry, it was the concubine who was wrong that day!"

The words are flat and very insincere.

Lin Mo didn't care about this, let go of Liu Ruoshui, and returned a salute: "Xuan Shangqing, Mrs. Xuan's words are serious, there are many things wrong that day, and I hope that Xuan Shangqing and Mrs. will not blame." ”

"This king has also heard about the events of that day, and now he sees the reconciliation of our two noble superiors, this king is really happy, and he is happy for the great cadres!" King Rong interjected at the right time.

Just as the three of them were talking, the eunuch knocked on Jin Xuan, Jin Xuan made a crisp and long sound, and the door of the Taiji Temple was pushed by two eunuchs and slowly opened.

Lin Mo explained Liu Ruoshui, and then the two of them and Rong Wang Xuanyuan were the first to enter the Taiji Temple, if they didn't know, they would definitely think that they were friends who talked about everything.

After all the courtiers entered the Taiji Temple, Xu Qiuniang said to Liu Ruoshui and Yu Ping: "Mrs. Xuan, Mrs. Lin, let's go, let's go to the side hall of Luanying Hall first and wait for them to go down to the court!"

"It's all up to the princess!" Yu Ping, who had always been domineering, said respectfully.

Although Xu Qiuniang is not King Rong's concubine, everyone in the circle of official wives knows that King Rong loves Xu Qiuniang even more, so Yu Ping did not dare to put up a stand in front of Xu Qiuniang.

"Princess Niangniang, you misunderstood, the slave maid is just a maid of the adult, not Mrs. Lin!" Hearing Xu Qiuniang's name for herself, Liu Ruoshui hurriedly explained.

"Sooner or later!" Xu Qiuniang smiled slightly and took Liu Ruoshui's hand: "Miss Ruoshui is modest, this princess has also been to your Lin Mansion a few times, and your treatment in the mansion is not ordinary!"

"Yes, don't postpone the invitation of the princess, according to the love of your family, I think your family will be admitted to the room sooner or later, you can afford the three words Mrs. Lin!" Yu Ping also said in a weird way.

Listening to the persuasion of the two, Liu Ruoshui stood in place, and after a struggle of thoughts, he nodded, and after explaining to Xifeng and Qiu Yun, he followed the two.

Luanying Hall is located behind the Taiji Temple, before the Inner Palace, when the Emperor of Daqian feasted his ministers and received the envoys of other countries, it can be said that it is full of magnificence and dignity.

Walking on the winding corridor, Liu Ruoshui quietly looked at the winter scenery and magnificent buildings along the road, without speaking, with a faint emotion on his face.

"Why is Mrs. Lin so emotional, but what sad things are ringing?" Yu Ping asked curiously when she saw the emotion on Liu Ruoshui's face.

"Mrs. Xuan doesn't know anything!" Xu Qiuniang said with a smile: "In the past, Mrs. Lin was a palace person in the palace, but now that she has revisited her hometown, her identity is also noble, so she naturally feels a little emotional." ”

"It turned out that it flew on the branch and became a phoenix, and it should be emotional!" Yu Ping's words were very plain, but the words were full of bitter and mean meanings, secretly scolding Liu Ruoshui for being a sparrow!

Hearing the meaning of Yu Ping's words, Liu Ruoshui smiled with emotion and said, "Mrs. Xuan's words are wrong, Ruoshui is just an adult's maid now, where can it be considered that something has become a phoenix!"

"You maidservant girl is really doing a good job, look at your dress, you can compare with some young ladies and concubines in the palace. Yu Ping said with some disdain.

"Mrs. Xuan's words are serious!" Liu Ruoshui smiled back, and said not to be outdone: "It's not that Ruoshui's maid is doing well, but that her parents are lucky enough to give me a pair of beautiful skins, which makes my family extra favored, and I can't compare to Mrs. Xuan!"

"What do you mean by that?" Yu Ping said with a cold face.

Yu Ping is now in her forties, although she is often maintained, but the years are ruthless, coupled with her disfigured, she has long been disliked by Xuanyuan, and she has long been left in the name of husband and wife.

"Okay, okay, Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Xuan, Luan Yingdian is almost here, don't let the people see the joke. Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was not right, Xu Qiuniang stood up.

While speaking, the three of them had already come to the front of the Luanying Palace, and saw a woman dressed in a rich palace costume, directing the palace eunuchs to decorate the Luanying Palace.

When she saw the delicate face of the rich palace woman, Xu Qiuniang smiled and said to Liu Ruoshui: "Mrs. Lin, have you seen that woman? You may become a sister in the house in the future!"

"Why is that?" Liu Ruoshui was puzzled.

Xu Qiuniang said a little dazedly: "Haven't you heard that your family has another woman in the palace?

"Oh, it turned out to be her, it is rumored that she hooked the soul of my family, and when I saw it today, she was really born like a fox spirit, delicate and extraordinary!" Liu Ruoshui looked suddenly bright.

The woman in the rich palace is none other than Concubine Xiao Shuya.

"Does Mrs. Lin want to go over and see you?" Xu Qiuniang said.

"Of course!" Liu Ruoshui replied directly without thinking about it.

Xu Qiuniang asked Yu Ping again: "Does Mrs. Xuan want to go over to say hello?"

"Hmph, don't keep the woman's way, Mrs. Ben disdain!" After coldly throwing off a sentence, Yu Ping took her maidservant and went to the side hall of Luanying Palace.

Yu Ping left, Xu Qiuniang's tone and demeanor suddenly changed: "Ruoshui, let me ask you, Lin Ziyong really took you into the room, and he completely believes you?"

"Yes!" Liu Ruoshui nodded: "It's the last time you went to the Lin Mansion, now Lin Ziyong loves me, and he bullied me in Sima Yinsi, and he didn't have any suspicion about me." ”

"That's fine, you can be your Mrs. Lin now!" Xu Qiuniang nodded with satisfaction, and her tone and demeanor changed again: "Let's go, Mrs. Lin, let's go over and say hello!"

"Princess, please!" Liu Ruoshui smiled faintly and motioned for Xu Qiuniang to take a step first, as if the conversation had never happened.

"See Concubine De Niangniang!" came to Xiao Shuya, Xu Qiuniang and Liu Ruoshui saluted in unison.

Retracting her gaze from the palace and the eunuchs, Xiao Shuya glanced at the two people in front of her and said, "It turned out to be Prince Rong's side concubine, hey, who is this lady?"

"Concubine Huide, her name is Liu Ruoshui, she is Lin Ziyong's maidservant, and she is also the future lady!" Xu Qiuniang took the lead in speaking: "The concubine felt that it was necessary for you to get to know each other in advance, so she brought it." ”

"See Concubine De Niangniang!" Liu Ruoshui saluted again

Xiao Shuya was stunned for a moment, then helped Liu Ruoshui up, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Sister Ruoshui, don't call me any Concubine De Niangniang in the future, it's not for a long time, call me Sister Shuya in the future!"

"Yes, Sister Shu Ya!" Liu Ruoshui smiled slightly: "Sister Shu Ya, what are you busy with?"

Xiao Shuya said: "Entrusted by the Queen Mother, she is responsible for the luncheon of the marriage in the Western Regions, no, she is directing the palace and the eunuchs to be busy." ”

"Then I don't know if Ruoshui has anything that can help Sister Shuya?"

"That's right, Sister Shuya, Qiu Niang also wants to help!"

"Well, really, thank you two sisters!"

Inside the Tai Chi Temple.

Emperor Daqian was discussing the drought in Lingzhou with the courtiers, and asked Lin Morong and Wang Xuanyuan what the three of them could do.

The little eunuch trotted in and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the princess of the Western Regions and the marriage ambassador have arrived, and they are waiting outside the palace for Your Majesty's summons!"

"Xuan in. Emperor Daqian was overjoyed, threw down the fold in his hand and instructed Gao Yue Dao on his side.

"Yes!" Gao Yue said respectfully, then opened his throat and shouted: "Princess Xuanxi Regions, and the marriage ambassador of the Western Regions are here!"

"The princess of the Xuanxi Regions, and the marriage ambassador of the Western Regions are here!" The little eunuch outside heard it, and also opened his throat and shouted, his voice was very loud.

The voice fell, and two figures dressed in the Western Regions walked in, a man and a woman, the man was in his forties, it was the marriage ambassador sent by the Western Regions Country, Arter, still holding it in his hand.

Because of the purple veil covering his face, he couldn't see his face clearly, and he was also wearing a purple outfit with a very hazy beauty, which was lit with shiny gold sheets, like fish scales, and wore ring arm gold on his hand, which was very Western style.

Lin Mo glanced at the princess of the Western Regions with his spare eyes, although he couldn't see her face clearly, but from her graceful posture, he could know that this princess of the Western Regions must be a complete exotic beauty.

Looking at the purple outfit of the princess of the Western Regions, but for some reason, Lin Mo's head floated, and the beautiful woman in purple that he met on the street that day.

At the front, the marriage ambassador bowed, held the thing in his hand and said: "The marriage ambassador of the Western Regions, Artyer, meet His Majesty the Great Qiandi Emperor, this is the letter handed to you by the king of the Western Regions!"

Gao Yue went down and presented it to Emperor Daqian, and after reading it, Emperor Daqian put it down, looked at the princess of the Western Regions who was hiding her face with purple veil and said, "Princess of the Western Regions, why are you covering your face with purple veil?"

The princess of the Western Regions bowed slightly and said, "I, Dilibair Rena, the face I showed after coming to Daqian and the person who unveiled the purple veil will definitely be my future husband." ”

Listening to the voice of the princess of the Western Regions, as enthusiastic as fire, and as gentle as water, it was completely different from the smart and pleasant voice of the woman in purple, Lin Mo was slightly disappointed.
