() The eunuch waved his whip to remind everyone that it was time to enter the banquet hall.

The hall is newly decorated, the red carpet is inlaid with gold silk and jade, which makes people simply can't bear to step on it, all kinds of exquisite palace lamps are hung around the hall, and there are high carved gold tired silk candlesticks in the corners of all sides.

Although it was still early in the day, the candles in the candlesticks had already been lit, and the inside was obviously mixed with spices, and the smell of burning was overflowing.

At the top of the hall, there is a long table decorated with golden dragons around the carved jade, and the three chairs behind are all gorgeous, obviously the seats of the emperor and the queen and the imperial concubine.

On both sides of the hall, there are four rows of rosewood tables and chairs, two rows on the left and right, so that everyone can sit according to their status, and the space vacated in the middle is obviously used for performances.

Nie Linyu is the county lord, and her rank is only behind the county lords of the Yun family, but Rao is like this, and she is a little far away from the seat where the first emperor sits, but she doesn't care about these, the farther away the better.

Sit down, look around, everyone is doing their best to chat with the people around them, especially the unmarried girls, and they spare no effort to show their advantages, looking forward to marrying into a more noble family.

Nie Linyu couldn't help but think of Lian Ying, who was still living in Nie Wang's mansion now.

Although even Nie's family is also a lady, but she is not from Beijing, foreign officials are ordered, and you can't easily enter Beijing without the emperor's edict, Lian Nie's family came in the name of relatives, and lived in Nie Wang's mansion, and she is a widow, how many years has her husband died, so no one investigates.

But if you want to enter the palace, you can't.

For this reason, Lian Nie mentioned it in front of Princess Nie, just wanting to take Lian Ying into the palace for a banquet and take this opportunity to make friends, but Princess Nie refused.

"The ladies of other provinces, unless the emperor and queen summon them, or if they go to Beijing every three years to report on their work, they will not be able to enter the palace slowly, that is, they will not be able to enter Kyoto, you can stay in Beijing, or I specially made it clear to Taichang Temple, as for entering the palace to celebrate his birthday, it is absolutely impossible, you don't think that the prince has a little thin face in front of the emperor, you have to get an inch, our Nie family has never relied on the power of the prince from me down

If you try to cheat for personal gain, others can't do it. ”

Even Nie's voice was speechless.

Under Lian Ying's reminder, she changed her strategy and didn't enter the palace herself, so Princess Nie took Lian Ying into the palace, which was called insight and knowledge, "Pity my child, who grew up in a poor countryside with me, and never knew that the palace was prosperous, it is better to take her into the palace, and see more of the world." ”

Princess Nie was unceremoniously, "The banquet in the palace is very high-level, and Cousin Lian Ying has gone, but what identity can I sit on?" ”

If Lian Ying is a cautious and polite person, Princess Nie doesn't mind helping her, but she is clearly not, when she enters the palace, once she causes trouble, the consequences will have to be borne by Nie Wangfu, and now that Nie is not in Beijing, Princess Nie must be careful in everything.

Even Nie was annoyed, but he was helpless.

Seeing this, Nie Linyu said with a smile: "My mother is all for the sake of my cousin, there is nothing to see in the palace, and the banquet is not delicious, and the emperor and the ladies are there, and the actions are inevitably restrained, anyway, banquets are often held in various mansions, it is better for me to take my cousin to attend a few another day, it is better than participating in the palace." ”

Lian Nie and Lian Ying turned their anger into joy at this time.

In all fairness, even the Nie family has not caused anything since they entered Beijing, but it is not because they abide by the rules, but because Princess Nie is tightly guarded.

Even the family has been in southern Xinjiang for generations, and even the Nie family was born in southern Xinjiang and married in southern Xinjiang, and has never set foot in the capital before, and has no relatives and friends in Beijing, although it is the aunt and grandmother of the Nie family, but since outsiders can see Princess Nie directly, there is no need to go through her.

Even the Nie family has no way to communicate, so naturally they can't cause trouble, and after Fu Wenshan's incident, Princess Nie is even more cautious about the door, so even the Nie family can only look for opportunities with Princess Nie.

Although this time it was a matter of coping with it, Nie Linyu felt that it was better to solve this matter as soon as possible, otherwise it would be a matter sooner or later.

In fact, Lian Nie's request is not difficult, but it is just to let Lian Ying climb a family business, there is nothing else in the capital, there is a noble family, if Lian Ying is willing to lower his standards, with Nie Wangfu coming forward, it is not difficult to marry a concubine of a big family.

Even if she behaves better, she can marry a sister-in-law who does not have to inherit the family business

Possibly.

Although she experienced ups and downs in her previous life, Nie Linyu has always been kind to others, except for Du Xinlei and Lin Qingyan, the big enemies of Tianzi No. 1, everyone else, she has the attitude of helping if she can.

"Papapa", three crisp high-fives, interrupted Nie Linyu's thoughts, and the voices in the hall were quiet one after another, and the emperor and queen appeared, but to everyone's surprise, it was not the imperial concubine Lin Yuehua who helped the emperor out, but Princess Linglong.

She is dressed up very gorgeously today, wearing a palace dress with gold embroidered phoenixes, wearing a golden silk flying phoenix hairpin, in line with her identity as a princess, with nine phoenix tails, and a string of rubies in each mouth, the one in the middle is the size of a thumbnail, just hanging down between the forehead.

Baoguang dazzled, she looked more and more like the first queen, and she was only sixteen years old this year, so she was like the first queen when she was young.

In comparison, the current queen wearing Zhai clothes is a little dwarfed, and the queen is almost forty years old after all, no matter how well she is maintained, she is not as good as a twenty-eight-year-old girl.

So the anger that the queen tried so hard to hide can be explained.

No matter who you are, you don't want the daughter left by her husband's ex-wife to look exactly like her husband's ex-wife when she was young, but she is old.

There are rumors in the palace, in fact, the emperor may not want to send Princess Linglong away at that time, it is the queen who is a hindrance, and the queen did not expect that this princess looks so similar to the former queen, so that although she has not been in the palace since she was a child, the relationship with the emperor's father and daughter is extremely thin, but once they meet, the emperor immediately loves her.

The emperor and queen princess sat down successively, the banquet began, one after another exquisite dishes were sent, although the dishes made by the palace banquet were not delicious, but they were absolutely good-looking, and each dish had an auspicious name, and the visual and auditory effects were excellent.

Yuan Xinrou approached Nie Linyu and said in a low voice: "I heard that the imperial concubine is old, so everyone is invited not to participate in this palace banquet." ”

Nie Linyu then remembered that the imperial concubine and the concubine Na Zhao were going to have children, and there had been a lot of things recently, but he forgot about this stubble.

Thinking of her previous life, she was shocked, and the queen was afraid that she was about to be unlucky.
