"Grass people Lin Zhong, please say hello to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is a thousand years old."

"Grass People's Forest Cold ......"

"Folk Girl Lin Xiu ......"

The clear and loud voices of the three members of the Lin family resounded in the main hall.

The Queen Mother smiled and asked people to help them up: "Get up quickly." That little girl, come, come to the mourning house. ”

Xiuxiu glanced at Lin Ruan, and saw Lin Ruan nodding at herself, so she walked generously to the Queen Mother and blessed her body again.

The little girl will be nine years old after the New Year, she has grown a lot taller, her little face has grown a little, her already delicate and good-looking facial features, and a little baby fat, it looks very pleasing.

The Queen Mother liked her very much when she looked like this, and took her little hand and asked, "Listen to your sister, you are studying medicine with Mr. Qi?" ”

Mr. Qi's medical skills are very good, and there are many apprentices and grandchildren, and there is even an apprentice grandson in the Tai Hospital, so the Queen Mother also knows a little about him.

Xiuxiu replied obediently: "Back to the Queen Mother, yes, the folk girl has studied medicine with the master for two years. ”

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "It's an ambitious little girl." ”

Saying that, the Queen Mother said to Mama Hong: "Go, bring the head of the ruby set that the mourning family has and give it to this little girl." ”

Xiuxiu didn't know if she could accept it, so she looked at Lin Ruan again.

Lin Ruan smiled and said, "The elder gives, you can't give up, take it well, do you know?" ”

Xiuxiu hurriedly nodded, "Thank you for the Empress Dowager's reward." ”

The Queen Mother had a good impression of her, let her stand beside her, and said to Lin Han: "Your name is Akan, right, I listen to your sister, you were admitted to Xiucai two months ago." Yes, yes, after only two or three years of study, he can be admitted to Xiucai, and he is a good seedling. You studied at Aoyama Academy in Huaiyang Prefecture, and now that you're in Kyoto, have you figured out where to continue your studies? ”

Lin Han replied honestly: "I haven't planned yet. ”

The Queen Mother thought for a while: "Then go to Guozijian, there are many famous teachers there, and you are naturally smart, so it is the most suitable for you." You have to study hard, and in the future, you will be a person like your sister who will work for the welfare of the people of Dazhou Limin. ”

Lin Han solemnly knelt down and thanked him: "The grass people will follow the teachings of the Queen Mother, and they will definitely study hard and serve the court in the future." ”

The Queen Mother asked him to get up, and asked people to take a set of four treasures of the study that had been prepared a long time ago and gave it to him.

After Lin Han thanked him and stepped aside, the Queen Mother looked at Lin Zhong.

Facing the most noble person in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Lin Zhong couldn't help but be nervous, but he already knew that the Queen Mother was a kind person, so he stabilized his mind again.

The Queen Mother knows Lin Ruan's upbringing very well, so she doesn't really think highly of Lin Zhong. And Lin Ruan's appearance has nothing to do with Lin Zhong, so the Queen Mother's attitude towards Lin Zhong is not too enthusiastic, and she only praised lightly: "Yes, it is not easy to raise so many excellent children." ”

Lin Zhong said in fear: "The grass people are just a farmer, where do they know how to raise children." Ah Ruan broke out with her own skills, and the two little ones were also stained with her light. ”

Seeing that he was very real, the Queen Mother had a good impression of him, and after saying a few words, she asked people to give her a seat, and turned her head to talk to King Shen and his wife.

Lin Zhong sat aside, exhaled secretly, and whispered to Lin Han, "I didn't say the wrong thing just now, right?" ”

Lin Han smiled and shook his head: "No, Dad behaved very well." ”

Lin Zhong was relieved: "That's good, just don't embarrass Ah Ruan." ”

Halfway through the unitary time, the palace banquet officially began.

Lin Ruan helped the Queen Mother, followed by a group of dark people, and went to the Hall of Peace. Lin Ruan's position is next to the Queen Mother, and she corresponds to the position of the prince's husband and wife.

Lin Zhong's family of three sat with the Shen family.

When the emperor and queen came together, the palace banquet officially began.

The emperor naturally wanted to make a speech, first praised Lin Ruan, expressed high appreciation for all her actions, and then looked forward to the future, hoping that Da Zhou could reach a peaceful and prosperous era under his governance.

At the end of the speech, the palace people began to serve the food, and the dancers began to dance.

Lin Ruan looked at those graceful dancing girls, and couldn't help but sigh, sure enough, he sat high and could see far away.

The last time she participated in the palace banquet, she still relied on the blessing of Princess Changle to get a position with a good view, but it couldn't compare to the current position where she could see the entire hall clearly.

While enjoying the dance, I always paid attention to the situation of the three members of the Lin family, and saw that they were adapting quite well, so I was relieved.

Turning his head, Lin Ruan saw Liu Guifei, who he hadn't seen for a long time.

Concubine Liu Guifei is still the same as the last time she met at the palace banquet, and it seems that the emperor's snub for most of the year has not affected her too much.

Finding that Lin Ruan was looking at herself, Liu Guifei raised her eyes and looked at her, and nodded at her peacefully.

If Lin Ruan hadn't known that Mama Xin's affairs were related to her, maybe she would have been deceived by her appearance.

Lin Ruan raised his glass and toasted her, then turned his head and continued to watch the dance.

The queen sat on the right seat, saw the movements of the two of them clearly, and invited her personal grandmother to ask about the situation outside the palace.

Mama whispered back: "Niangniang, don't worry, your arrangements are very proper, and there will be no problems." The emperor also sent people to watch over, and there will be no mistakes in tonight's palace banquet. ”

The queen nodded, she was so anxious that she didn't sleep well for the palace banquet in the past two days, for fear that the person who was secretly making trouble at the palace banquet.

In front of so many officials, if there is any trouble, then she will really be laughed at.

Fortunately, everything is going well so far, and the dishes are almost served, so I don't think anything will happen.

But the more I think about it, the less God will make people happy.

Just as the palace banquet was coming to an end, Lin Ruan received a message from the eyeliners. There was a fire in the queen's palace, and it was the maid who sprinkled the house and did it, and before setting the fire, the maid put something in the box in the queen's room.

Lin Ruan raised his eyebrows, and he really didn't stop.

At this moment, a palace man came in with a panicked face, and was about to quietly report the fire to the queen, when suddenly someone outside shouted: "It's water, it's water." ”

Suddenly, the officials and ladies in the hall all stood up nervously and looked around.

The eyes of the emperor and empress were cold.

The queen turned her head directly to look at Concubine Liu.

But Liu Guifei was like everyone else in the hall at the moment, her face was full of curiosity and worry.

The queen secretly hated in her heart, but quickly reacted as she should be: "Who is making noise outside?" ”

A palace man ran in from outside, kneeling in front of everyone, "Back to the emperor, Niangniang, Kunning Palace is out of water, and the fire is very big." ”

The queen was also a little anxious, but in front of so many courtiers, she still behaved very calmly, and immediately dispatched people to rescue her on the spot, and then said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, in order to prevent the people below from messing up, the concubines will go over to see the situation first." ”

The Emperor nodded, "You stay away and stay safe." ”

The queen's heart warmed, "The concubine knows." ”

was about to leave, but Liu Guifei suddenly stood up.
