Lin Zimu led the people into the hall, and saw that Lin Mu was already sitting on the main seat and waiting. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"In Xia Hexi, he led his three men, and was ordered by the king of the southwest to see Prime Minister Lin." Everyone saluted and said.

"You are guests, so you don't need to be polite." Lin Mu's voice was gentle and flat, and he couldn't hear more emotions from his tone.

"Thank you, Prime Minister Lin." The people who came were not polite, and they all stood up.

"You may be seated." Lin Mu motioned and asked them to sit down, and the four of them quickly found their own places to sit down, still without too much politeness.

"I don't know how many people, what is the matter with coming from afar?" Lin Mu still said lightly.

"A few of us came on the orders of the prince to bring a letter and something." As he spoke, the southwesterner named He Xi, who was the leader, took out an envelope and something that looked like silver jewelry from his arms, and handed it to Lin Mu with both hands.

Lin Mu opened the letter, looked at it, and played with the silver ornament in his hand again. The southwest generation has many ethnic groups, and some of them prefer silver jewelry.

Although the quality of the silver produced is not as pure and bright as that of the Central Plains because of the backward refining process, the silversmith craftsmanship passed down from generation to generation is indeed first-class and exquisite.

Ethnic minorities in the southwest not only wear silver ornaments on their heads and hands, but also inlay silver ornaments on their services, boots and shoes. This piece in Lin Mu's hand should be given a decoration tied to the woman's waist. Lin Mu looked at the letter, then looked at the things in his hand, and his originally calm eyes unconsciously churned, accompanied by a slight lift of the corners of his mouth. Soon, however, it was all put away again.

In his usual calm, slightly loose voice, he said, "I have made it clear what your prince thinks, and Lin will never live up to the prince's trust." ”

He Xi replied: "My prince has long been right, Lin Xiang favors him, this time I rely on Lin Xiang's deployment, I believe that Lin Xiang will not disappoint the prince." ”

Although He Xi's words were all based on Lin Mu's deployment, his tone was really a little arrogant. After listening to this, Lin Mu snorted, and Lin Zimu wanted to come forward to theorize. Lin Mu raised his hand to stop him, obviously everything had just begun, and Lin Mu didn't want to spend energy on meaningless things.

Whatever they want to say, let them say it, the king of the southwest is a little arrogant, but as long as it doesn't hinder his big affairs, all this has nothing to do with him.

Thinking of this, Lin Muyi waved his hand and said, "Take the guests down to rest." ”

"Yes." Lin Zimu made a gesture of please, and walked out with the four people sent by the King of Southwest.

In the courtyard of the warm pavilion of the palace flower hall, Zhao Ruoyun was sitting at the stone table where he had eaten with the emperor, Rong Qing and Fang Yu when he entered the palace last time, eating fruits while admiring the strange flowers and plants around him.

Zhao Ruoyun still likes it very much, this flower hall, because it is full of flowers and plants, in order to maintain the temperature, the large and small rooms here are all gathered with earth dragons, so the rooms are warm.

Although she also knew that she had a strange disease, her energy and physical strength were not as good as ordinary people, so she was naturally not as hardy as others. Even if her life is short, she knows in her heart, if it was before, she would still be a little sad, but since the amnesia, she doesn't remember anything before. I don't remember, and I don't have any nostalgia, but now she feels that every day she lives is a blessing from God. As for how long I can live, I really don't see it a lot.

Even so, it is better to stay in a warm and comfortable place like the flower hall than to be cold every day.

Just when Zhao Ruoyun was enjoying the warmth, a little palace maid came over with a fruit bowl.

"Slave and maid to the county lord to say goodbye!" The little palace maid took the plate and gave Zhao Ruoyun a serious salute.

"Get up, there are not so many rules in my place, just talk about something."

"Slave and maid Xie county lord, this is the fruit that was just transported into the palace, the emperor thought it was good to eat it, and specially asked him to pick some good ones and send them to the county lord." The little palace maid lowered her head with a plate and said, lowering her eyebrows and smoothly implementing the rules in this palace.

Zhao Ruoyun nodded, and Danxia behind him went over to take the plate.

"The emperor also said that the county lord is not in good health, and he has to take care of it, so if the queen can not go tomorrow, don't go." The little palace maid said again.

A few days ago, there was a strange stone from the south, saying that the stone is not only round in texture, smooth in surface, and the most amazing thing is that the surface of the stone also has a natural phoenix pattern is very rare. When the emperor saw it, he rewarded it to the queen.

The queen specially held a stone appreciation banquet for this stone, and the time was set for tomorrow. invited the concubines in the palace, and some of the female dependents of the important members of the court to watch together. Zhao Ruoyun also received a post from the queen mother after entering the palace.

Speaking of this kind of small informal gatherings in the harem, there are still a lot of them, and the names of stone and flower appreciation are different, in general, everyone gets together to have a good time, after all, the deep palace is lonely. If you just invite the sisters in the palace to get together in your own garden, you can naturally do it at any time.

However, if there is still a foreign wife to enter the palace, it can only be done by inviting the will of the queen's mother.

Zhao Ruoyun didn't answer the little girl's words immediately, but thought about why the emperor didn't want her to go.

The banquet was organized by Queen Lin, she inquired that Queen Lin was the granddaughter of Prime Minister Lin Mu, and the last time she was sold to Yongchun Building and was almost killed, Bacheng was inseparable from Lin Mu's other granddaughter Lin Ying'er.

However, later Rong Qi and Rong Qing did not seriously investigate the matter, Ruoyun knew that they naturally had their reasons for doing this, but she was always inevitably a little curious about the Lin family and these granddaughters of the Lin family.

"Go back and tell the emperor, anyway, I don't have anything to do in the palace, and I still have to make up for this excitement." Zhao Ruoyun said.

However, her words were finished, but the little palace maid just now still stood there without moving, raising her eyes, and secretly looking at her face. The emperor asked her to pass on such words, which meant that the county lord should not go to the queen's banquet, but what she didn't expect was that this Yunyang county lord would refuse the emperor so stubbornly.

Zhao Ruoyun said it easily, but this little palace maid didn't dare to pass the words back to the emperor like this, what Zhao Ruoyun was thinking at this time was that the emperor didn't let her go to the queen, it must be for her good, could this queen be like her cousin Lin Ying'er, a person who would poison people at every turn? Such a person can also be a queen?

Zhao Ruoyun thought like this, and didn't notice the little girl's expression for a while. Danxia, who was behind her, walked over, took the little maid out, and according to Zhao Ruoyun's meaning, polished what she just said, and let the maid go back to the emperor as she could.

Rong Qi listened, and Zhao Ruoyun raised his eyebrows when he came back, and didn't say anything more. He just felt that the harem was not a pure place, so he didn't want Ruoyun to get involved too deeply. However, if Ruoyun had to step in and take a look, it would be nothing. After all, he is in the palace, as long as he guards carefully, nothing big will happen.
