The palace maids in Cining Palace were all nervous, and Mama Hong was even ready to ask someone to ask for a doctor.

The Queen Mother waved her hand and sighed, "The mourning family is fine, I just miss Chen'er." How nice it would be if he were here on a day like today? ”

Lin Ruan's mood was also a little depressed, but she still hurriedly comforted the Queen Mother: "Imperial grandmother, it's just a palace banquet, and it's important for him to do business." When he comes back, I'll let him make it up for me. ”

The Queen Mother was in a bad mood: "Ah Ruan, you tell the mourning family, is something wrong with Chen'er?" ”

Lin Ruan smiled and said, "How could the imperial grandmother think like this? Don't you know how good his kung fu is? His errand is a bit troublesome, and it will take some time to get it done, so don't worry about the imperial grandmother, when the matter is done, he will naturally come back. ”

Mama Hong also hurriedly persuaded: "Queen Mother, today is a good day, the officials and relatives will come in a while, how inappropriate it is for you to have a pair of red eyes, right?" After the palace banquet is over, the old slave will go to the emperor to inquire and see when Prince Chen will come back, do you think it's okay? ”

It's easy to talk about it, so as to persuade the queen mother.

The officials and dependents were the first to enter the palace when Shen Shi, and Lin Ruan had been by the queen mother's side to meet those wives and nobles.

When he saw those first-class ladies saluting him, Lin Ruan felt quite magical.

Three years ago, she only crossed over, and even her livelihood was in question.

Three years later, she turned out to be the person standing at the top of the pyramid in this country.

Seriously, she didn't expect it herself. She is indeed unwilling to be mediocre in her life, but she has never thought that she can go to this height.

At high altitudes, the air is really different.

Lin Ruan sat next to the Queen Mother with a standard smile from everyone, and her face was a little sour with a smile.

Halfway through the Shen period, King Shen and Princess Shen took the children and grandchildren of the Shen family, as well as the father and children of the Lin family, into the palace to participate in the palace banquet.

It was the first time for Lin Zhong to participate in such an occasion, and he felt a little weak in his hands and feet along the way.

Lin Han and Xiuxiu kept cheering him up, "Dad, don't be nervous, just take it as if we are in Yulin County." ”

Lin Zhong was so nervous that he kept sweating, "Nonsense, can this be the same?" ”

Looking at the majestic palace complex, he felt that he had to walk with the same hands and feet. He really didn't understand how the emperor would let him come on such an occasion. He is just a flat-headed commoner, and he only knows a little about the rules, and he is really worried about embarrassing his daughter.

When he was in Qingzhou City before, many people sent him invitations, but he never participated in it once, so he really had no experience at all.

If he could have been allowed to attend a few ordinary banquets to gain experience and courage, he felt that it would be better. But who knew that this time it turned out to be a palace banquet.

Originally, he wanted to pretend to be sick and not come, but King Shen didn't allow it, and King Shen said that he had to get familiar with such things as soon as possible, because he thought that there would be many such things. Directly participate in the palace banquet, no matter what banquet you attend in the future, it will not be a problem.

Seeing that his face was so nervous that his face was about to change color, Shen Tingyu turned around and comforted: "Uncle Lin, don't be so nervous, this is actually the same as going to a banquet in the countryside, but the identity of the people attending the banquet is different, there is really no problem." Don't worry, with your grandfather carrying it for you, even if you really do something wrong, you won't be afraid. The emperor and the queen mother both know your situation and won't care. ”

Lin Han also said: "Dad, don't show your cowardice, the more you do this, the easier it is to embarrass Ah Ruan." Today's palace banquet is specially set up for her, and we, as her family, must show confidence. Ah Ruan is the princess of the country, the emperor and the queen are her stepfathers, and the grandfather of the county king is her maternal grandfather. But if we act timid, we will really embarrass Ah Ruan. ”

Xiuxiu took Lin Zhong's hand and said, "Dad, you just follow the example of the grandfather of the county king, raise your head, hold your chest up, look ahead, and don't smile with a straight face." ”

She had specially observed that Grandpa Junwang looked very majestic, and the nobles she met on the road greeted Grandpa Junwang politely, and they didn't dare to breathe.

Lin Zhong tried his best to stabilize his mind, took two deep breaths, and according to the rules of the past few days, he straightened his waist, raised his chin slightly, and narrowed his eyes slightly, trying his best to maintain this appearance.

Lin Hanman nodded: "Dad, that's good, hold on." ”

Lin Zhong held his breath and hummed sullenly, not daring to spit out that breath.

The ministers also had to go to the Queen Mother to say goodbye, so the group went to Cining Palace together.

The palace people shouted in their voices: "The king of Jingwu County and all your family members, bring the forester and the family to see you." ”

When the Queen Mother heard the announcement, she smiled and said, "Hurry up and let them in, I haven't been with the princess for a while." and Ah Ruan's adoptive father, this is the first time I have seen it. ”

All the wives and officials turned their heads to look out.

They were all very curious about the people who raised Lin Ruan.

Lin Zhong was already extremely nervous, and when he was looked at like this, he felt even more pressured.

Lin Ruan smiled and said something to the Queen Mother, then got up and walked towards them.

Walking up to Lin Zhong, Lin Ruan stood still, helped Lin Zhong's arm, and said with a smile: "Dad, my daughter will take you to ask for peace to the imperial grandmother." ”

After speaking, Lin Ruan said to the people in the palace: "My father is the same as the thousands of Li people in the Great Zhou, honest and duty, loyal and kind. My younger brothers and sisters are still children, and they can't compare to the children and grandchildren of the ladies and gentlemen who have learned etiquette since childhood, and it is the first time they have participated in such a banquet. ”

The princess of the protectorate protected her adoptive father's family like this, and everyone immediately responded. "The princess is really a filial and affectionate person."

"Yes, the princess is a rare good girl with affection and righteousness."

After this, everyone present understood the status of Lin Zhong's family in Lin Ruan's heart.

Lin Zhong listened to those people's praise of Lin Ruan, he was very happy in his heart, and wanted to say something, but he was afraid that he would not be able to say it well, so he pursed his mouth and looked at the Queen Mother who was sitting on the top, "Ah Ruan, go and say hello to the Queen Mother." ”

Lin Ruan smiled: "Dad, I'll help you over." ”

Lin Zhong shook his head: "Dad is not old enough to need your support, you go and help your grandfather." ”

He wasn't so nervous now. His daughter has already supported him to this point, if he is still so careful and nervous, he will really lose his share.

Lin Ruan glanced at Lin Zhong with a smile, his eyes full of approval.

Her family is also learning to grow, although the speed is a little slow, but it doesn't matter, come to Japan.
