Chapter 60: The Gift

August is the hottest time of the year, and it is naturally very cool because of the countless ice basins placed in Jingren Palace, but as soon as you go out, a heat wave will hit your face, and Lin Jue is almost shaken to the ground by the heat wave.

It's a good thing to say, wait outside first, on such a hot day, there is no special place, so let her wait outside, the eldest princess is too perfunctory to do this, right?

But as soon as this thought came up, she was immediately wiped out by Lin Jue, she was just a little Taibuling daughter, her cousin Lin Qiong was a big official, but he was a person in the second room of the Lin family, and he had nothing to do with the big house. So in this way, it is already a great grace for the eldest princess to let her enter the palace to give gifts, and she specially arranged a special place for her to wait? Dream big!

Since he was waiting, Lin Jue didn't dare to go too far, so he only picked a slightly shady place to sit in the nearby cloister, the birthday had already begun, and Jingren Palace was very lively, and there were constantly palace maids and eunuchs carrying various congratulatory gifts towards the palace.

Because she was told that the eldest princess's congratulatory gift was placed in the final finale, Lin Jue suddenly felt a little bored, there were so many ministers and royal relatives who came to celebrate her birthday today, when it was her turn, it should be dark, right? Of course, the eldest princess's congratulatory gift can never be just Lin Jue's small embroidery, since it is the finale, it is naturally rare in the world, extremely precious, Lin Jue's embroidery is just the product of the eldest princess based on some considerations.

Lin Jue leaned on the corridor, thinking about it and thinking too much, when a heavy cough suddenly came from behind her, and the sudden movement scared her so much that she almost slipped off the railing, but finally stabilized herself, but when she looked up, she saw a flat face.

The fifth prince was looking at her with a playful condescending face, with countless smiles in his peach blossom eyes.

"Lin Er, why are you sitting here alone and stupid?"

Silly? Lin Jue couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart, on a hot day, is she willing to be stupid here? Isn't it because of the chaotic rules of the royal family?

Seeing that Lin Jue looked like he didn't want to deal with it, the fifth prince continued to laugh and said, "I heard that the imperial aunt said that you are here to present today?" ”

"Sort of."

Lin Jue's face was expressionless.

Now she is preparing for the selection of the Great Priest, it stands to reason that a nobleman like the Fifth Prince should not be offended, but unfortunately, this person is too annoying, and she always can't control it. was full of courtesy to bring Lin Lang back from the family temple, but there was no next action, and he was so disturbed by the five princes, if Lin Lang wanted to find another family in the future, I am afraid it would be very difficult.

Although Lin Lang also suffered by himself and deserved his crimes, one thing is enough to see a person's character, and the character of the five princes in front of him is really poor.

"Just now in the guest seat, I saw Lin Hanlin and Miss Lin Si, why don't you go in and sit with them?"

As if he hadn't noticed Lin Jue's expression, the fifth prince continued to ask shamelessly.

"The eldest princess asked me to wait here."

Lin Jue said coldly. These five princes, why didn't they give a good gift to the queen mother in the palace, and ran out of the palace? Moreover, isn't Situ Yan still inside, are these five princes not interesting to Situ Yan? When pigs fly!

"It's very boring to sit inside for a long time, so it's more natural to go outside and blow the wind." As if seeing the confusion on Lin Jue's face, the fifth prince smiled.

Lin Jue moved the corners of his mouth, noncommittal to his words.

Although it is August, the garden is still full of flowers, purple and red, and it is lovely. A gust of breeze blows, the flowers and leaves shake, and they reflect each other, making people feel a little bit of heat.

"It's almost time, you can go and prepare, as for the embroidery, someone from the Internal Affairs Office will present it to you later......"

After sitting for a while, the fifth prince got up, looked at Lin Jue and said.

"Aren't you going back to the banquet?"

Seeing that the fifth prince was leaving, Lin Jue couldn't help but ask. But she immediately realized that she was too talkative.

"No, anyway, I'm celebrating my birthday, it's time to go back to the palace, otherwise those beauties of mine will have to wait in a hurry......"

The fifth prince looked at Lin Jue, the smile in his eyes was even stronger, and he had an expression of "do you want to be together".

Lin Jue: "......"

"Pei'er, look at your mysterious god, what good things have you prepared for me?"

In Jingren Palace, Empress Dowager Xiao, who was sitting in the middle of the main seat, looked at the eldest princess Peixi beside her and said with a smile, although she advocated frugality, but these ministers were all better than anything else, and they couldn't offer luxury and valuable, so they relied on rare and rare things, so after each birthday banquet, the congratulatory gifts she received were simply strange and strange.

It's the same today, what is the thousand-year-old ice on Kunlun Mountain, the red coral in the South China Sea, and even the most unreliable Five Princes even offered her a monkey, saying that he understands human nature and can relieve her boredom. Therefore, since the eldest princess proposed to finale from the morning, Empress Dowager Xiao was a little curious, this daughter has been eccentric since she was a child, what tricks are she going to play today?

"Queen Mother, the things I brought today are a bit long, why don't we look at them slowly?" , The eldest princess Peixi had a smile on her face.

"However, Pei'er, what about you today, it is the finale, but it is not the finale." , Empress Dowager Xiao looked at everyone and smiled, "Daye won the battle this time, what about those soldiers, they also happened to arrive in Beijing today, it is said that the general who led the troops is still an outstanding young man, I think, let him come over later, show us ......", Empress Dowager Xiao said, turned her head to look at Emperor Zhaoyang who was sitting next to her, "Emperor, what do you say I have this idea?" ”

After winning the battle, Emperor Zhaoyang was in a good mood, and in the face of Empress Dowager Xiao's request, he naturally agreed, "That's natural, the queen mother has a big birthday today, and as a courtier, she should naturally come to congratulate." ”

While chatting here, the eldest princess Peixi said in a coquettish voice as if she couldn't sit still, "Queen Mother, can I take out the things and show them to you?" ”

Congratulatory gifts are dead, but people are alive.

The eldest princess believes in her vision, although Situ Yan has been in the limelight before, but the one she likes will not be bad.

Lin Jue stood at the gate of Jingren Palace, looking at the incomparably cumbersome clothes on his body and embarrassed.

As soon as the fifth prince left, a large group of palace maids came to the back foot, and they couldn't help but push her into a side room, and then dressed her up with all hands and feet, put on one skirt after another, and when she was finished, she almost didn't know herself.

At this time, Lin Jue really realized the good intentions of the eldest princess to send Mama Li to teach her court etiquette, as far as her current skirt is concerned, if she doesn't follow the standard etiquette, she can't walk at all, which is really cumbersome.

Push open the palace door and slowly walk in step by step.

There was surprise, suspicion, ridicule, and even inexplicable jealousy around him, Lin Jue ignored the gazes on both sides, moved his steps lightly, and walked forward without distraction.

The turquoise emerald smoke shirt, the scattered flower mist and green grass pleated skirt, the skirt corner is embroidered with fine cherry blossom petals, and the body is covered with emerald water and thin smoke veil. A jasper hairpin on the head is exquisite, and the thin silver wire beaded tassel is decorated, which looks a little casual but elegant. Slightly apply powder, and the red lips are not red.

If the shoulders are cut into the waist, if the muscles are condensed, the air is like a quiet orchid.

The red carpet embroidered with dragon and phoenix patterns was very long, so long that Lin Jue couldn't help but think of the scene when he entered the palace draft in his previous life. is also such a palace gate, and it is also such a red carpet, but sitting above is a high but indifferent emperor, the so-called husband of her, the person who doesn't even look at her......
