But although Lin Zhe guessed what Chen Jing was thinking, he didn't answer positively, but snorted: "Yes, time flies so fast, more than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye!" ”

Lin Zhe pretended not to hear the meaning of Chen Jing's words, but this was obviously pretending not to understand, and it also revealed his actual attitude, and his attitude was relatively clear, that is: wait a little longer.

Lin Zhe, as a latecomer, does not agree with the marriage of men and women in their teens in this year, although when he married Chen Jing, Chen Jing was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and when several other concubines entered the palace, they were generally around sixteen years old, such as the year Concubine Fang De first entered the palace, she was sixteen years old.

But this does not mean that Lin Zhe agrees with this model, he can't change the general environment and tradition of the whole society, and can only rely on the development of society to gradually change people's concepts, but his own children don't plan to let them become husbands or wives or even parents too early.

It's not good for their future!

If you're a girl, it's best to wait until your body is fully grown, and then you have to think about it at least after the age of eighteen, but you can get engaged earlier, but it also depends on the specific situation, after all, if the engagement is too early, the other party's boy hasn't grown up, what can a little kid see?

Chen Jing saw that Lin Zhe didn't answer positively, she didn't need to ask Lin Zhe to know what Lin Zhe's attitude was, that is, she would talk about it later.

Although she didn't understand it a little, Zhi Xuan was still young, and she only suddenly remembered it today and asked it, so it wouldn't be a big problem to wait a few years.

After a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner between the royal family, Lin Zhe had nothing to do for a few days, except for a small number of government affairs that needed to be dealt with in time, the daily government affairs were stopped, staying in the palace to share the Spring Festival with his family.

The royal family has not held any large-scale events in the past few days.

These days belong to the family!

But when it comes to the Lantern Festival. However, in accordance with the practice of previous years, the royal family held an annual Lantern Festival state banquet, banqueting military and political dignitaries and a small number of representatives from various walks of life such as business and education.

The number of people attending the Lantern Festival state banquet every year is basically maintained at about 100 people, with military and political dignitaries accounting for about half of the people, and the rest are representatives from all walks of life. The hundreds of people who attended would basically bring their families to attend, because Lin Zhe attended this official occasion. will also bring Queen Chen Jing to attend, and the other courtiers naturally can't come alone.

Even if you are single, you have to bring a female companion, or a fiancée, or a sister or sister, in short, you can't come alone.

With so many people attending, it is naturally impossible to just eat a meal, in fact, it is a good opportunity for the royal family to contact all walks of life in the empire, and it is also a means for the royal family to win over the elites from all walks of life in the empire.

In order to maintain this effect, basically those military and political dignitaries each year are relatively fixed outside of the people. Representatives from all walks of life will basically change every year, how to say, there is always a chance to give more people this opportunity.

You must know that the Lantern Festival State Banquet is the only time in the lives of ordinary people other than military and political dignitaries, and even that is the opportunity to see the holy face and listen to the holy voice. It can always attract the great attention of some upper-class people in China, who doesn't want to be the one who is lucky enough to attend the state banquet.

This was selected. It's not that you're lucky, but it's that you've reached the top of your industry and have been recognized by royalty.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, in the side gate of the Zhonghua Palace, one after another carriages drove by, although the detailed styles of these carriages were different. But they were mostly two-horse and four-wheeled carriages, and some of them had some badges on them, which showed that the owner of the carriage was a nobleman.

Some carriages are simply hung with peony badges or a small military flag, which are basically the cars of high-ranking officials or high-ranking generals of the navy and army.

And those ordinary carriages without obvious signs are naturally representatives from all walks of life who came from all over the country to participate in the Lantern Festival state banquet.

These people are usually top upper-class actors in their respective industries and even in local governments and counties. But today, in front of the Zhonghua Palace, in front of so many military and political bigwigs, even the most arrogant people among them will restrain themselves and get off the carriage with nervousness.

These male hosts who came to the banquet were better, after all, they were not simple people who could mix in high society, but some of the female companions they brought were a little too nervous.

Most of these women who came with their husbands or mothers and brothers are women who have never seen anything in the world, so that their parents are very good at it, but on this occasion today, it is difficult for them to calm down.

No, after an unmarked four-wheeled carriage came to the palace gate and stopped, first a man about fifty years old, wearing a Western-style dress of fine woolen wool, with white gloves, he held a civilized staff, he got off the carriage first and stretched out his hand, and then helped out a middle-aged woman wearing a Chinese-style skirt, but the woman was slightly fat, and when she got off the carriage, the carriage was trembling, and the wheels were trembling.

As soon as she got down one foot, and when the second foot was still on the pedal, she raised her head, and then she saw the tall and magnificent palace gate, as well as the soldiers of the royal chamberlain regiment lined up in front of the palace gate, performing the garrison mission, the establishment of the royal chamberlain regiment belongs to the guards, but its administration, personnel and command power does not belong to the guards, but to the chamber of the palace affairs department.

Personnel are generally selected from among the new recruits in the military, and only after rigorous training and elimination are they selected for entry.

The regiment was mainly responsible for guarding the palace and providing internal security for members of the royal family when they traveled.

In fact, there are other guards in the chamber, but those are all bodyguards, and at the same time they are closely protected in civilian clothes, these people are generally not recruited from outside, most of them are cultivated by the chamber itself, and a small number are elite agents from the intelligence department, but those agents are generally only responsible for checking and filling gaps with their rich field experience, sending some dangers in advance to prevent the enemy's assassination, and are not directly responsible for personal protection.

The soldiers of the Royal Chamberlain Regiment in front of them held their heads high, and the rifles in their hands were still loaded with bayonets that had not been opened, and were used for ceremonial purposes, and the people who were watching it clearly groaned in their hearts.

The woman looked at the rows of bright bayonets, and although she knew in her heart that these guards would not hurt her, she could not help but be afraid.

As soon as the feet were soft, she had not completely gotten out of the car, and her whole body leaned directly to the left of the front, so that the man who was holding her secretly screamed that it was not good, and then hurriedly let the side flash a step, and the next moment, the woman fell to the ground with a plop, and her figure could only be fully seen after falling to the ground, her waist was round like a barrel, her neck was thick and her face was convex, and she looked like Mount Tai lying horizontally, and like a giant whale on the beach.

If this is smashed, I am afraid that I will not be able to get out of bed for three or five months with my own body bones, and the man who dodged away is not afraid in his heart now, but he knows the weight of his mother-in-law, and he can't afford it.

But he dodged away, but the woman wailed: "You who killed a thousand knives, why don't you take me!" ”

The man took two steps forward, did not answer her words, but said with a serious face: "Hurry up, and don't look at what kind of place this is!" ”

When her husband said this, the woman remembered that this was not her own home, but in front of the palace, which was not a good place to sprinkle, she had a lot of flesh, and this fall was like falling on cotton, and she couldn't hurt her bones, and she was still howling just now, but the next moment she was numb and crawled up.

Raising his head and looking around, a few of the guards looked over, but they didn't have any expressions, but a few people who were also guests in front looked back, and the others didn't say anything, except that a woman about thirty years old and quite charming shook her head slightly, and then showed disdain.

There was also a girl about sixteen or seventeen years old beside her, but she couldn't help but laugh loudly!

The fat woman who was ridiculed was directly furious: "What the hell, dare to laugh at the old lady!" ”

However, in front of the palace gate, she didn't dare to scold loudly, but muttered twice, so that her husband could only hear it, but the husband next to her grabbed her, and then said seriously: "Shut up, and don't look at the identity of others!" ”

The fat woman immediately looked over, although there were still more than ten meters away, but the middle-aged man next to the girl was wearing a general's dress, and at the same time there was a badge with a strange style on his chest.

Although she is a little more fierce and has a little less knowledge, she also knows that anyone who dares to hang this kind of badge on her chest openly, and it is a badge other than the peony national emblem and the dragon badge, and eight 'nine out of ten are the family badges of other nobles.

Obviously, the man in front of him was not only a high-ranking military general, but also a nobleman.

The fat woman also retracted her gaze at this time, what kind of ghost is this, there are more big officials than small soldiers, and I don't know what kind of cheapness the old man has committed, he actually has to run all the way from his hometown in Shanxi to participate in this Lantern Festival state banquet, this ghost place can hit a big official with any spit, and he can scold a nobleman with just two sentences, and he is also that kind of military nobleman.

I live so well in my hometown, I scold whoever I like to scold on weekdays, and now I come to Nanjing, isn't it to find abuse for myself?

Although I don't say this, I keep muttering all kinds of dissatisfaction in my heart!

But although she muttered in her heart, she checked her identity, and then officially entered the palace gate, when she saw the magnificent Xinhua Palace, her mouth was long enough to stuff several eggs, and when she entered the hall on the first floor of the Xinhua Hall with everyone, she was even more frightened by the magnificence inside.
