After everyone chatted a few words, it was not long before it was time for the birthday banquet, and everyone did not dare to lose their manners, so they all consciously stood at the back, and only after the six princes were seated did they sit down in turn.

Daye's birthday banquet is also exquisite. As a birthday star, Mrs. Lin still has the rule to sit at the table and drink birthday wine with relatives and friends.

The first three bowls of food are served according to custom, and the eldest son is to kneel down and raise his head to serve the table as a sign of gratitude to the guests. After three bowls, the guests shouted for a change, and then the helper served the food. But because Lin Mi was still traveling outside and didn't come back, it fell on the second master.

After the first three bowls of dishes were over, the next generation began to put various dishes on the table in order. Then Lin Jue and these juniors began to raise a glass to celebrate their birthday, the old lady was in a particularly good mood today, and in the process of toasting by the juniors, she was smiling all the way and holding a cup.

All of a sudden, on the banquet table, wine and delicacies, staggered, the whole banquet scene, children and grandchildren, relatives and friends gathered, and they were happy.

"Sure enough, it's the eighteenth change of the female university, if I didn't say it, I wouldn't have recognized you, the second girl......"

A woman looked at her and said.

This person Lin Jue is not familiar with, only knows that it is Mrs. Lin's niece in the south, and she is her cousin. This cousin is married well, her husband's surname is Liu, she is in the silk business, and she has a son and a daughter in the family, and her daughter's nickname is Wan'er, who seems to be two years younger than Lin Jue, and now she has reached the age of saying goodbye.

But this time, her daughter didn't come with her, and she was the only one who came to celebrate her birthday.

"It's just that not only does he look more and more handsome. also became the lord of the county, this glory is not something that ordinary people can get? ”

Another lady came to talk. It seems to be a relative of the Lin family's second room.

"You see, this bracelet is also worth a lot of money, right?"

Among them, a woman sitting next to Lin Jue saw a jade bracelet on Lin Jue's wrist with sharp eyes, and her eyes could no longer be separated.

Lin Jue was about to open her mouth to explain, but Cousin Liu opened her mouth just now, "Sure enough, life in Beijing is different, and my family's Wan'er is about the same age as the second girl." Where can you see so many good things......"

"It's just an ordinary bracelet......"

Lin Jue was helpless.

"The second girl should not be modest, you look at this color, it is a good thing at first glance. Our family Wan'er only knows how to embroider at home and make female red, and it is time for people who are old to say that they are pro-age, and they still don't care about jewelry or anything. I really can't look at her. Let her take care of herself more......"

Cousin Liu saw the sixth prince walking to the side to toast, and deliberately raised the volume.

"Mrs. Liu, what you said, in Jiangnan Province, who doesn't know that the second miss of the Liu family is a fairy-like figure?"

"Oh, you don't know, as the saying goes, people rely on clothes, girls don't know how to take care of themselves, no matter how immortal they are, it's useless......"

Cousin Liu was enthusiastically introducing her daughter to everyone. The birthday banquet was also going on, but Lin Jue was really annoyed by the boring conversation of the women at the table. and the women around her who came up from time to time to talk to her, and had no appetite at all in the face of the table full of dishes.

Since she had no appetite and didn't want to be annoyed by this group of people anymore, she decisively found a reason and slipped off the table in advance.

February in Kyoto is still in the midst of the winter cold, especially at night, when the cold wind gusts and makes people shiver.

After coming out of the main hall, the strong temperature difference between indoor and outdoor made Lin Jue can't help but sneeze. But instead of patiently dealing with those annoying and talkative ladies at the banquet table, she would rather blow a little more wind outside.

"As the eldest daughter of the Lin family, you left the table too early, right?"

With a joking voice coming from behind him, Lin Jue turned his head and saw Ling Mo standing not far away, looking at her and smiling at this time.

"His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, who came to celebrate his birthday, why didn't he sit for a while and leave the table so quickly?"

Lin Jue didn't show weakness and quipped.

As soon as Ling Mo heard this, she knew that she was talking about the embarrassment that she didn't bring a congratulatory gift just now, and she was a little embarrassed, and smiled awkwardly, "Just now, thank you." ”

If Lin Jue hadn't made a timely move to resolve it just now, he would really have made a fool of himself today.

"Thanks for what?" Lin Jue winked at him, "Brother Huang doesn't know what is in my brocade box, right?" ”

Of course, the old lady and the second master would not open the brocade box in public, so except for Lin Jue, no one knew what was inside.

Ling Mo was stunned.

He had just been so happy that he had forgotten such an important point.

Because of the previous series of messy things, the relationship between him and Lin Er is a bit complicated, and it has nothing to do with "good" at all. Lin Jue has always been eccentric, if he wants to take this opportunity to put some strange things in the brocade box, wouldn't it be worse than not bringing a congratulatory gift?

"After my reminder, did the imperial brother start to worry a little?"

It seemed that he could see the worry in Ling Mo's heart in an instant, and Lin Jue resisted the urge to laugh out loud and looked at him.

"I believe that the royal sister will not embarrass her brother?"

Ling Mo smiled a little reluctantly.

"Are you sure, Brother Huang?"

Lin Jue suddenly became interested. She found that it turned out that teasing Ling Mo was also quite interesting.

"I'm ......" Ling Mo paused for a moment, then said in a firm tone, "I'm sure." ”

Now it can only be determined, the brocade box has been sent out anyway, the raw rice has been cooked and cooked, no matter what Lin Jue puts in it, it can't be recovered, since this is the case, it is better to believe her directly, at least you can retain a little affection.

"But I'm not sure,......" Lin Jue looked at him with a smile, "And you know, Brother Huang, I've never been serious, and everything I do and talk depends on my mood, so ......"

"What did you put it?!"

Ling Mo began to be uncalm.

He wasn't afraid that the relationship with the Lin family would be stiff because of the congratulatory gift, the Lin family was nothing in his eyes, he was worried that if this matter spread, it would affect his reputation.

"Brother Huang, don't worry, no matter how bold I am, I won't dare to break ground on your head, Brother Huang......" Lin Jue's face changed when he saw Ling Mo, and he quickly explained with a smile, "What is in that brocade box is a pair of white jade. ”

When Ling Mo heard this, his face, which was about to be covered with dark clouds, instantly stretched out, as if he was greatly relieved, and then looked at Lin Jue with a smile on his face and said, "Just say it, the imperial sister will not embarrass me~"

Lin Jue smiled, and a certain face suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, if it was Nangong Yi, in this case, she would definitely not be surrounded by her. In other words, he has absolute trust in her, and he will never be inexplicably suspicious because of this little thing.

However, she felt that she was a little ridiculous, how could she compare Nangong Yi with Ling Mo, in this world, no one could compare with him.

Thinking of this, my heart became heavier again.

Qinghe said that he disappeared in the northwest, but people like him, whether it is martial arts or intelligence, there are few people in this world who can compare to him, and he can't find a few, how could he disappear so easily, and there is no clue left.

Nangong Yi, where the hell are you bastard?

"Imperial sister, I heard that Princess Vika has lived in the General's Mansion?"

After the joke, Nangong Yi suddenly restrained his smile.

"Probably."

Lin Jue knew what he was going to say next, and wanted to avoid it, but after thinking about it, he still let it go with the flow.

"What about you?"

Ling Mo wanted to speak and stopped.

It stands to reason that he shouldn't have mentioned this matter to Lin Jue, but it was really uncomfortable to be stuck in his heart, and after hesitation, he still said it.

"Me?"

Lin Jue was stunned for a moment, she wanted to say that she planned to withdraw from the marriage, but after thinking about it, she should save some face for Nangong Yi, so she said, "I plan to wait for him to come back and talk about it." ”

"Actually...... I don't understand what my father did, he knew that Nangong had already married, but he still gave Vika a marriage......"

Seeing some doubts in Ling Mo's eyes, Lin Jue smiled indifferently.

It's actually quite simple.

Emperor Zhaoyang's approach is not unusual, since ancient times, emperors, the most important thing is often the interests of the country. And the more Mingjun is, the more obvious it is at this point. Daye is now being harassed by the Tatars, and an alliance with the Rakshasa is the best way to deal with the Tatars.

The simplest and most feasible way for the two countries to form an alliance is to make peace.

Letting the most powerful young general of Daye Country marry the princess of Rakshasa Country is simply giving enough face to the red hair. Since the great cause is full of sincerity, the Rakshasas naturally cannot lag behind, and in order to thank them, they will definitely work very hard to deal with the Tatars.

It is equivalent to saying that Emperor Zhaoyang's move almost did not waste a single soldier, and he accepted a person who worked for him. Nangong Yi just has one more wife, the man has three wives and four concubines, and one more wife is nothing in the eyes of Emperor Zhaoyang. Maybe that's why he didn't directly withdraw Lin Jue's marriage to Nangong Yi.

"Now that the decree has been made, just let it be."

Lin Jue smiled faintly, but his gaze drifted away.

She became more and more determined to go to the northwest to find Nangong Yi in person. Kyoto's qiē is all messed up, and she must find him and explain things clearly to his face. Even if he really chose Vika, at least he had to make Lin Jue understand. And now that I am holding it in my heart like this, it is more uncomfortable than death.

In fact, Lin Jue didn't realize that from the moment she learned that Nangong Yi was missing, the previous anger towards Nangong Yi had long since disappeared, and was replaced by endless worries day and night, although she had been constantly self-hypnotizing, the reason why she wanted to go to Nangong Yi in person was just to make things clear, Nangong Yi was her father's protégé, and she couldn't let her father Lin Taibu worry.

"The imperial sister sent me a pair of jade, how can I, as the imperial brother, not thank you?" Ling Mo thought for a moment, then took off the jade pendant he wore on his waist, handed it to Lin Jue, and said with a smile, "Etiquette is still exchanged, this little jade pendant barely expresses a little bit of my heart" (to be continued.) )
