Although analyzing the disadvantages of entering the palace, Lin Qing finally decided to follow Lu Chengxuan into the palace for a banquet on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

After living for seventeen years, this is the first time Lin Qing has entered the palace, and he still uses the identity of Zhao Muxi. Lin Qing felt both happy and frightened about this identity, according to various facts, it was not small that she was really Zhao Muxi, but she always felt that something was wrong.

Lin Qing thought about it again and again, but decided to act first and let himself enter the palace as Lu Chengxuan's personal maid.

Lu Chengxuan did not refuse Lin Qing's suggestion, but only told her not to leave him too far after entering the palace.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, people from all over the family put up lanterns to celebrate the festival, and there was a lively and prosperous scene inside and outside the capital. The palace is even more festive and luxuriously decorated, and all kinds of exquisite ornaments are so fascinating that people can't take their eyes off it.

After entering the palace, Lin Qing's eyes did not rest for a moment, and she who followed behind Lu Chengxuan stopped many times because she was attracted by the scenery in the palace, and she almost couldn't keep up with Lu Chengxuan's steps. Lu Chengxuan waited for Lin Qing very patiently, and his face was also half unsafe.

"This stone carving, the slave seems to have seen it before." Lin Qing stopped in front of a stone eagle, staring at the stone sculpture motionless and muttering to himself.

Hearing this, Lu Chengxuan couldn't help but look at Lin Qing a few more times, "Ah Fan used to like this eagle very much, and always said that it carved very well, and carved the eagle's demeanor vividly. ”

"It's lifelike, but I don't know which master this exquisite stone carving comes from?" Lin Qing didn't know why he was so concerned about a statue, this feeling was too strange, so Lin Qing couldn't help but ask.

Lu Chengxuan was also surprised by Lin Qing's behavior, how could the girl in front of her have her eyes on this stone sculpture with countless treasures in the palace? However, although Lu Chengxuan was confused in his heart, he still had an indifferent smile on his face, "The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is about to start, let's go over quickly." ”

"Huh?" Lin Qing exclaimed as if he had just woken up from a big dream, Shicai was really careless, and he almost lost his sense of proportion in front of Lu Chengxuan. But whether it is the scenery of the Three Princes' Mansion or the scenery of the Imperial Palace, it will make Lin Qing feel a kind of nostalgia and reluctance, which caused Lin Qing's gaffe.

"The slave and maid are rude, and I ask the prince to forgive me." Lin Qing's face was full of shame, and he lowered his eyes and didn't dare to look at Lu Chengxuan again.

Lu Chengxuan gently shook Lin Qing's hand, signaling that she didn't have to care, and then quietly let go of his hand and led Lin Qingqing forward.

Along the way, Lin Qing still had the heart to enjoy the scenery, only one mind, followed Lu Chengxuan's pace, although Lu Chengxuan respected her very much on weekdays, Lin Qing did not dare to indulge in front of him, for fear of provoking him to disgust himself and make him unable to complete the task.

The banquet was set up in Huaqing Palace, and when Lin Qing and Lu Chengxuan arrived, people inside and outside Huaqing Palace were already gathered. There are princes and princesses, concubines and palace maids, and there are also many guards and eunuchs. Seeing such a grand scene for the first time, Lin Qing's heart couldn't help but be a little nervous.

If you get closer, you can see the appearance of the royal family and nobles who are dressed up. The concubines without exception all have amazing faces, and the princes and princesses are also extraordinary, and they are extremely comfortable to look at.

"Third brother, you're here, let me wait!" Seeing Lu Chengxuan walk in, a young man in purple said enthusiastically.

"Honor." Lu Chengxuan greeted the young man with a smile.

Lin Qing, who was standing behind Lu Chengxuan, looked at the purple-clothed young man casually, this person's face was quite similar to Lu Chengxuan, although his bearing was not as good as Lu Chengxuan, but it was far better than ordinary people. Hearing Lu Chengxuan call him 'Chengli', Lin Qing immediately decided that this person was Lu Chengli, the fourth prince of the dynasty.

"Why are you here so late today?" Lu Chengli asked in surprise.

Lu Chengxuan smiled meaninglessly, "There are some things delayed on the way here, it's not a big deal, you don't have to worry about it." ”

Lin Qing, who heard this, couldn't help but feel empty, if it weren't for her settling around along the way, Lu Chengxuan would have been able to arrive earlier.

"No matter what, in short, it's good that the third brother is here, today's family banquet is different from previous years' family banquets, and the third brother should be cautious." Lu Chengli whispered.

Lu Chengxuan nodded and said, "The fourth brother is reasonable, I will be more careful." ”

At this time, Lin Qing didn't have the heart to listen to the conversation between the two brothers in front of her, and her eyes were all attracted by one person.

The man wore a woman's hair in a bun, wore a complicated and gorgeous palace dress, and the layers of hair ornaments on his head were rare at a glance. Even though it was a little far away, Lin Qing still recognized the identity of the person.

It has been more than two months since Muhe Town. Lin Qing never expected that the person he saw again would be in the palace. can dress like that and appear at the royal banquet, her current identity must not be simple.

Lin Qing stared at the man for a long time and didn't move, and she didn't even hear Lu Chengxuan call her.

"Ah, what's wrong with you?" Lu Chengxuan stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Lin Qing's eyes.

"I ...... The slave is fine. Lin Qing tugged at the veil and didn't know how to answer Lu Chengxuan, as early as when she entered the Three Princes' Mansion, she told Lu Chengxuan that she was Zhao Muxuan, if Lu Chengxuan knew that he knew someone from Muhe Town, maybe he would be suspicious of himself.

Lu Chengxuan didn't ask any more, because the banquet started at this time. He immediately led Lin Qing to start looking for his seat, the seats for the banquet in the palace were arranged according to the rules, and no matter what kind of banquet seat there was, there would not be much change, so Lu Chengxuan didn't have much effort to find his seat.

"Third brother, don't come unharmed." As soon as Lu Chengxuan sat down, the man sitting on his right couldn't wait to say hello.

There is no need to guess that Lin Qing also knows that the person who spoke was Lu Chengxiu, the second prince of the dynasty, Lu Chengxuan was the third among the princes, his eldest brother died unfortunately seven years ago, and there was only one person left who could call him 'second brother'.

Lu Chengxiu looks good, but he always gives people a lifeless feeling. Lin Qing stood silently behind Lu Chengxuan, and his eyes never left Lu Chengxiu's left and right for a moment. It was this man who forced Engong to steal the edict of the first emperor for him, and it was also because of his own efforts to sneak into the Three Princes' Mansion and lurk beside Lu Chengxuan, as soon as he thought of this, Lin Qing was full of disgust for this second prince.

To Lin Qing's surprise, Lu Chengxuan said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, the younger brother's body is fine." ”

Earlier, I heard that the third prince Lu Chengxuan and the second prince Lu Chengxiu were at odds because of the struggle for the throne, and now it seems that the relationship between the two is not as tense as rumored by the outside world.

"If there is no major illness, that is, there is a minor illness? The third brother is still young, so he still has to pay more attention to his body, and if something happens to him, the second brother will be distressed! Lu Chengxiu laughed playfully.

Lu Chengxuan's smile was a little colder, and he opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but the words that came to his mouth finally turned into a sigh.
