Chapter 221: Entering the Palace (1)

The Qionglin banquet was held as usual, and it did not become a blind date meeting, or a show for the granddaughter of the Han family. The emperor also took care of the face of the Empress Dowager Han, and ordered Empress Mu to hold another banquet, and the order issued to the families of the officials was that all young ladies over the age of twelve in the family must attend, and the new science and technology jinshi would also be present, and the time was set for noon the next day.

"If you don't let your family accompany you, who does the emperor want to match, or does he have any plans?" Old Marquis Xiao was not calm, and turned around the room with his hands behind his back.

"Grandfather, don't worry, with the conditions promised by the emperor, the granddaughter will be fine." Xiao Yao grinned and grabbed the old marquis's arm and re-settled him into the chair.

Having said that, Xiao Yao has a hunch that tomorrow's banquet will not be simple, and there will definitely be someone targeting him, whether it is the Queen Mother, the Han family or the family members of other officials...... It's all possible, who let himself have a face that is easy to offend!

Even if she was worried again, Xiao Yao didn't dare to show half of it in front of her grandfather and father, if she was restless now, wouldn't it make her family even more worried?

"Peace, you remember, you have to think twice about everything, do the rules enough, as long as you don't make mistakes in etiquette, others can't deliberately trouble you in front of everyone." Tong Mingyu told the matters that should be paid attention to when entering the palace, and she hoped to accompany her daughter! It's a pity that only Xiao Yao and Xiao Yuan are invited.

Xiao Yao muttered to herself in her heart: It's easy to find trouble in a high position, okay! People don't need a reason at all, are there still fewer things in history that refer to deer as horses? There are many mistakes in saying more, and if you don't say it, you may not escape the trumped-up charge.

She hoped that Xiao Yuan could stay at home and enter the palace alone, in case she had any ......, at least someone would be by her grandfather's side. However, this cannot be said now, otherwise it will definitely scare the family and backfire. It seems that only after entering the palace is to separate from her sister and let her stay with the county lord as much as possible, so that she will be safer.

King Jing's Mansion is also discussing the matter of entering the palace this time, King Jing is not too worried about his daughter, the tiger poison does not eat children, the Queen Mother is Ruonan's own grandmother, no matter how vicious she is, she will not attack her own granddaughter.

"Do you know why your imperial grandmother ordered that all officials above the fifth rank have a daughter over the age of twelve in their families must attend this banquet?" King Jing asked his son, who was sitting quietly on the side.

"Because of Xiao Yao." Yun Yichen is no longer the boy who is closed to news and helpless in case of trouble, four years is enough time for him to cultivate his own power, and it also allows him to grow up quickly. Because he has people he wants to protect, and he has things that the children of the royal family must do, it is absolutely impossible to do without his own manpower and news channels.

King Jing listened to his son's words and nodded approvingly, chasing your daughter-in-law is something you should do yourself, your father can't do it again and again, besides, you don't have a clear attitude, and your father doesn't know what to do next!

"The Korean government?" A sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of Yun Yichen's mouth, it was just another toad, the old man was right to refuse them, not to mention that the little girl was the person he fancied, even if he looked at the old man's face, he couldn't let the Han family kid come to him.

"Ah Chen, you ...... "Son, you still haven't said anything, when the old marquis finds a suitable grandson-in-law, it will be too late for everything to become a foregone conclusion."

"My son will handle this matter by himself, and you don't have to worry about your son from now on." Yun Yichen gave his father an ambiguous answer, he couldn't say sweet words or anything, and swearing was not his style, he was suitable for talking less and doing more.

Ay! King Jing, who had long guessed that it would be this kind of result, inexplicably felt that he couldn't stand Old Marquis Xiao and Xiao Yao. In the future, the baby will face an iceberg face every day, whether he has hurt the little girl!

"You...... I know what I should do and what I should do, so you and my mother don't worry about me in the future. "It's impossible for me to say that I like Xiao Yao in front of my father, even if Xiao Yao is standing opposite him, Yun Yichen can't say those words. He knew that his personality was unpleasant. Like Xiao Yao, he rushed out as if he was happy and didn't spend money, and he couldn't do it.

But Yun Yichen will care about the people he wants to care about in his own way, and once he chooses the path, he will not change it easily. Just like this time, he knew that his father had asked Queen Mu to take care of a few girls, but what his father didn't know was that he had asked Princess Deqing to protect his sister and the Xiao family sisters tomorrow. The most feared person in the entire royal family is her old man.

"If you understand the importance of this matter, your father won't ask anymore, you can do it yourself!" King Jing patted his son's shoulder and left, this kid's mouth was too strict, he couldn't say a word, and he still didn't have to make that effort.

The next day, Xiao Yao was dressed in a mint green lotus leaf skirt, with no superfluous patterns and accessories on her body, only three or five budding lotus flowers embroidered on the skirt. The simplest hairstyle is combed on the head, several headbands are interspersed, and several hairpins made of pearls and broken gemstones are embellished on the head, giving people a flowing and elegant feeling as a whole.

Xiao Yuan was dressed in a yellow and blue dress, and a jeweled flower crown was worn on her head, making the little girl look delicate and cute. The jewelry worn by the two sisters is drawn by Xiao Yao herself, which is both novel and chic, and Xiao Yao usually only pulls a simple bun and then wears a flower crown.

Today she didn't want to be too conspicuous, so she dressed up a little more modestly, but unfortunately she forgot that sometimes ideas and reality are diametrically opposed.

"You two don't blindly seek perfection, some people hide, some people don't pay attention, and some people dare to open their mouths, you don't have to be polite." Old Marquis Xiao didn't exercise either, and led a granddaughter to the gate with one hand.

"The granddaughter will not be bullied, you old man can rest assured! Wait for us at home! Xiao Yao stopped his grandfather who wanted to give him another ride with a coaxing tone.

"Don't get hurt, follow the county lord, don't walk around alone." The old marquis remembered a piece of advice, at this time he blamed himself in his heart, people's hearts are sinister, why didn't he teach his granddaughters some ways to identify conspiracies and tricks early!

"Peace will not disappoint you." Mama Ruan saw that the Xiao family was staring nervously at the carriage that had gone away, and she couldn't bear it, so she said something more.

The little apprentice's heart and eyes are not worse than adults, she collected several antidote pills, some cooling oils and even a pack* from herself last night, she said, there is really no way, she will use some * for herself in front of everyone, and see who is embarrassed to target herself when the time comes. The little apprentice also promised that she would never use this method as a last resort.

She and Xiao Yao have the same opinion about entering the palace this time, if the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother don't deliberately make things difficult, then there is nothing to fear. If these two make a move, no matter how many people the Xiao family goes, it will be useless.

The carriage was moving forward on the way to the palace, Xiao Yao organized the language in her heart, she wanted to persuade her sister to follow the county lord for a while, and not to make a noise no matter what happened to her. If today is a Hongmen banquet, let yourself face it alone, and there is no need to take another one.

Engrossed in thinking about things Xiao Yao didn't notice that his carriage paused before moving forward again, Xiao Yuan ate melt-in-your-mouth cheese, and didn't notice anything unusual when he looked at the small painting book.

The Jingwangfu team and the Xiao family team had just met at the fork in the road, Yun Yichen hugged Xiao Lang, Xiao Yi and the newly promoted Xiao Yang brothers for the first time, waved everyone to go together, and then rode to the car of the Xiao family sisters. He wanted to tell Xiao Yao that he would be fine when he entered the palace, but before he could speak, he heard Xiao Yao's voice from the carriage.

"Ruyi, you will follow the county lord as soon as you enter the palace, and don't leave a single step, remember?"

"What about you!"

"I ...... I'll be with you too, and you promise me that if someone targets my sister or deliberately makes things difficult for me, you don't pay attention. ”

"How can I do it, my brothers are not here, it is my business to protect you, and I will accompany my sister. Is anyone going to bully my sister? I'm not going to let her get away with it. ”

"If that person our Xiao family can't afford to mess with! Can you still protect me? I'm afraid not! At that time, nothing will change except for another one of you. That's why I want you to promise me that no matter what happens, you won't open your mouth, just take care of yourself, do you hear? ”

"I ...... How can I leave you alone! Let's share the blessings and difficulties, and it's good to be punished together! "Xiao Yuan thinks that nothing big will happen, and if you enter a palace and have a meal, you can still die.

"Let me ask you, if the Queen Mother insisted on punishing me, what would you do? And what can be done? ”

"I ......"

"How about you promise my sister that I'll make you a new dress when I get home?"

"Did something happen? My sister's words made me panic, tell me the reason! ”

"It's not a big deal, the Han family went to our house a few days ago to propose marriage, but was rejected by my grandfather and father, I was worried that the queen mother and her old man would not be happy and would make it difficult for me, so I said this."

"Will the Queen Mother, her old man, make things difficult for you because of this matter?" Xiao Yuan put down his beloved picture book and cheese and asked.

"Maybe I'm thinking too much and I won't have anything! Just remember not to leave the county lord. ”

"Oh!" Xiao Yuan wilted her head, couldn't lift her spirits, and responded to a word casually, she couldn't help her sister with anything, she always rushed to the front when something happened, and other people's sisters supported each other, only she not only didn't help, but also wanted her sister to protect her in turn.

"If there's something going on, we can ask the county lord's cousin for help." Xiao Yuan thought of Yun Ruonan's identity and excitedly proposed.

"The county lord...... The county lord's situation is much better than mine! Xiao Yao muttered to herself.
