Fortunately, with Chen Huiniang in charge, otherwise Lin Ling would really not be able to hold a medium-sized banquet. is also entangled in official business, and he is not in the mansion, and Lin Ling is completely unfettered by doing things.

The back garden of the palace is large enough, there is a small lake in the east, and dozens of tables are arranged along the lake one after another, and the tables are placed with exquisite desserts and fashionable melons and fruits. There are many plants and trees planted by the lake, and in the early spring, the thin shoots are extracted, and it is quite good to sit by the lake and eat the fruits, look at the green plants, and then feed the red carp in the lake.

The first guests to come were Mrs. Lin and Lin Yiyu, and Lin Ling welcomed the two of them in very happily: "Mother, why don't you bring the rest of the noisy boys over to play?" I haven't seen them in a few days, and I still miss them. ”

"Eldest sister, if you bring them here, this palace will not be able to feast guests!" Lin Yiyu pouted while feeding the carp, "Yesterday, they rushed into my house and tore up one of my paintings, which I spent a lot of effort to get, but it was all destroyed by those boys!" ”

Lin Ling and Mrs. Lin looked at each other and smiled, there was no intrigue in this inner house, and there were many heirs, it was really happy. Lin Ling suddenly thought that the emperor seemed to have rewarded her with some calligraphy and paintings a few days ago, and ordered: "Caixia, you can bring all the calligraphy and paintings that the emperor and queen rewarded a few days ago, and pick a few gold, jade or something that the little girl loves, move faster." ”

"Princess, don't!" Mrs. Lin couldn't help but glared at Lin Yiyu, saying something like that on this occasion was really a bit like asking Lin Ling for a gift, her Lin family couldn't be so embarrassed.

Lin Ling pressed Mrs. Lin's hand and said, "As an older sister, I have never given anything to my younger brothers and sisters, and there really wasn't anything to give before." Now that I have it, I naturally want to send it, and I don't know what those calligraphy and paintings are, so it's good to give them to those who understand. ”

As she was talking, Caixia came over with a large bag of things, Lin Ling didn't look at it, and pushed them all into Lin Yiyu's arms. Lin Yiyu is still young after all, and she doesn't understand the truth very well, seeing that Mrs. Lin didn't stop her, she opened the burden with a smile and smiled happily: "Thank you, eldest sister, this hairpin is so beautiful, I'll go back and ......put it on for the fourth sister."

"The princess is really a big deal." A sour voice came, it was Qin Keke, she was dressed in emerald green clothes today, the cuffs were very narrow, and her waist was also specially retracted, highlighting her delicate figure, seeing the three daughters of the Lin family looking at her, she couldn't help but straighten her waist, her chin was raised, and her eyes looked down at the mother and daughter in front of her.

"It turns out that Coco is here, sit down, Xiaoge, you can sit too!" Lin Ling smiled to entertain the guests, and the maids who were waiting on the side also led the guests to their seats, and when Lin Ling and Mrs. Lin were talking, it turned out that so many people came. Chen Huiniang didn't know when she came to this back garden, and stood at the entrance of the garden to talk happily with several ladies and ladies, it seems that her circle of people is very wide.

Qin Keke glanced at Chen Huiniang, who was like a courtesan, and said sarcastically: "The princess is not from the capital, so she doesn't know these ladies and misses, right?" You and I used to be friends, so I naturally want to help the princess, so let me introduce you to you. Saying that, regardless of whether Lin Ling wanted it or not, he grabbed Lin Ling's hand and walked towards a crowded place.

Lin Ling glanced back at Mrs. Lin, and saw that her eyes were full of worry, so he hurriedly handed her a reassuring look.

A group of warblers and swallows kept walking towards the back garden, among them, there were many ladies with elegant and demure temperaments, and there were also many cold-faced and loving ladies, none of whom Lin Ling knew. Although Qin Keke introduced her to ridicule her shabby birth background, it was better than letting Lin Ling blind and call the other party's surname, right?

To Lin Ling's surprise, Xiao Ge could even call out the names of a small number of young ladies and young women, and talked to them with a smile.

"Princess, this is Mrs. Bo, this is Miss Bo." Qin Keke said with a smile, "Miss Bo is the only pearl in Bo Shilang's palm, and she is also the premier beauty in the capital, and the people who come to propose marriage are about to step on the threshold." ”

"Oh, Miss Qin's mouth is really good at talking!" Mrs. Bo covered her mouth and smiled, "Princess, don't listen to her nonsense, the little girl is named Zhu'er, I brought her to visit the princess today, mainly to let her have a long experience." ”

The thin bead smiled faintly at Lin Ling, saluted, and then stood aside silently, with a cold face on his face. Lin Ling thought with her toes that she must have been forced to come to today's banquet by Mrs. Bo, but she was reluctant to attend this kind of entertainment, but helplessly, Jiang was still old and spicy, and finally came. But it's all here, why not look like you're not close to the living? Lin Ling, as the host, still has the number of courtesies, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Bo, Miss Bo, have fun, I'll go and greet the rest of the guests." ”

Qin Keke smiled at Bo Yizhu, and said in Lin Ling's ear in a low voice: "This Miss Bo is very likely to become my sister-in-law, these days Mrs. Bo often mutters to my mother, thinking that there will be happy events when you come to our Qinhou Mansion." ”

"Miss Bo is knowledgeable and courteous, down-to-earth and generous, and she is a good match for the little marquis." Lin Ling said lightly, although there was a trace of stunned in the next second when she heard Qin Keke's words, but no matter what, she was already married now, let alone thinking about that ethereal feeling.

Qin Ke could see that Lin Ling had no other reaction, as if he had punched the cotton, it was painless, he snorted in his heart, pointed in another direction and said: "Although the daughter of the Chen family is married to the second prince as a side concubine, she is a famous talented woman in the capital after all, she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and many ladies in the boudoir are asking her for advice, do you want to go over and take a look?" By the way, I also got to know the young lady of another family......"

Lin Ling nodded and followed Qin Keke over, and the group of laughing ladies immediately stopped talking, took a step back, and saluted Lin Ling. Lin Ling waved his hand and said indifferently: "I'm just giving the title of princess for nothing, you don't have to care about me, and you don't have to be restrained, go to the pavilion over there to talk, and the meeting will start later." ”

Lin Ling's name has long spread in the capital, as long as people who have heard about this incident think that Lin Ling is a very unreasonable and troublesome woman, yes, when they see her coming over, they are afraid that she will find trouble for no reason. Even the residence of the second prince, the emperor's favorite in the dynasty, dared to demolish it, what else did this princess dare not do?

"Yes, although the princess is young, she is extremely easy-going, I told you little hooves that you are still pushing and shoving, and now that the princess herself has spoken, is it time to move?" Chen Huiniang feigned anger, stretched out her hand and pushed one of the girls who was covering her mouth and smiling, everyone saw that Lin Ling was indeed not a high-flying and domineering master, and they all laughed and walked towards the small pavilion.

Seeing that Chen Huiniang was extremely familiar with this group of boudoir ladies, Lin Ling couldn't help frowning, no matter what era it was, public opinion was enough to destroy a person - no matter how much that person didn't care about what others said. And the source of most gossip comes from women, Chen Huiniang has a very close relationship with so many women, if she takes advantage of this, Lin Ling will definitely not be able to escape. She has already done a lot of rapping things herself, and with a little oil and a little vinegar, she will definitely drown in the spitting stars.
