Although spring has begun, the temperature in Xijing is still not high, so the banquet is held in a large compound.

The county lord of Yongling took Lin Mumu into the courtyard, and as soon as he entered, someone noticed the two, after all, one was the owner of the Anguo Mansion, and the other was the princess who was very popular in Beijing, and the two came together, and it was difficult not to get people's attention.

"I've seen the county lord and the princess." Those present were all Mrs. Yipin, and they all had to come forward to salute Lin Mumu.

"You don't have to be polite, get up."

"Thank you, Princess."

Lin Mumu didn't like the feeling of being surrounded by people, she saw that everyone was still standing in place and looked at her, so she said: "Today is the Spring Festival banquet held by the Anguo Mansion, and the concubine is just an invited guest, you don't have to be restrained, please take care of yourself." ”

"Yes, don't look around the princess, she will be embarrassed, although it is not unseen such a big scene when she was the third princess before, but since the princess has rarely come out, it is normal to be a little uncomfortable for a while."

The corners of Lin Mumu's lips hooked slightly, this is right, the pretended kindness always has to be punctured, such a blatant mockery is much more comfortable than a fake smile on his face.

"County Lord, this concubine has to correct you a little, Zhao Hanjun is no longer the third prince, he is a criminal minister who intends to rebel, to mention a criminal minister in front of so many people, I don't know what the county lord's intentions are, is it to tell everyone that the Anguo Mansion intends to follow him?"

The face of the county lord of Yongling changed, and he could no longer maintain his previous hypocrisy, and stared at her with a hideous face. "Lin Mumu, what nonsense are you talking about, are you looking for death!" Although she is impulsive and arrogant, she has lived in the Guogong Mansion for many years, and she knows very well what Lin Mumu means in her words, she is clearly playing tricks with the Guogong Mansion!

Zhao Hanjun is a felony of rebellion, if he is put on the head of the Guogong Mansion, he will punish the nine clans!

Lin Mumu took a long time to pick up the teacup and take a sip. "Who is looking for the person who is dead, the county lord should know in his heart, who should mention the person who should not be mentioned first, the ladies and ladies present are very clear."

"You!"

The county lord of Yongling was angry, and he couldn't tear Lin Mumu's face, this slut was embarrassed by her everywhere, and she wanted her to know how powerful she was sooner or later!

"Oh, this flower is blooming so well, I don't know what method Grandpa Guo made people make this flower bloom so delicately, and the spring tweed flower was not frozen to death." A lady who was familiar with the Guogong Mansion opened her mouth to break the deadlock.

The county lord of Yongling glared at Lin Mumu coldly, turned around and talked to his small team, no longer paying attention to Lin Mumu.

With such a show, the ladies and ladies who wanted to come over and get close to Lin Mumu stopped thinking about it, after all, this was at the banquet of the Guogong Mansion, and it was still necessary to give the grandfather of the country some face, not to mention that the county lord of Yongling still had the stick given by the emperor in his hand, if she turned back, it would be bad if she held a grudge against her, and it would be bad to pick up the stick and beat people indiscriminately, as for the matter of currying favor with the princess, it would be better to wait for the next opportunity.

How could Lin Mumu not know what these people were thinking, she didn't care, she could still be clean.

While waiting, Lin Mumu saw Sima Yun walk in.

Although there is no one in the Sima family to be an official in the court now, there are many protégés of Sima Taifu before, and he still has a certain status in Beijing, plus Sima Yun is good friends with the county lord of Yongling, she is not surprised that she will appear here.

After Sima Yun came in, as if he didn't see Lin Mumu, he walked straight to the small team of the Yongling County Lord, and a few people didn't know what they were talking about, so they laughed after a while, and even looked in the direction where Lin Mumu was, intentionally or unintentionally.

Lin Mumu looked at the pastries on the table with a lack of interest, the dim sum was cold at this time, and the taste of being dry and hard was far worse than that made by Qiaoqiao.

It's better to get out of these people's schemes quickly, otherwise she'll be bored.

Today's banquet is divided between men and women, and Lin Mumu and they are in the women's guest area, but the men's guest area is not far away, just separated by a wall.

"The Duchess has arrived."

Just when Lin Mumu was drowsy, the sound of singing sounded, and when she raised her eyes slightly, she saw the Duchess of the Kingdom wearing a peony red gold dress walking in surrounded by a crowd of people.

The ladies and ladies who were lower in rank than the Duchess of the Kingdom stepped forward to salute one after another.

The Duchess sat down on the throne and looked at the person standing at the bottom bowing slightly. "You don't have to be polite, please get up quickly."

"Thank you, ma'am."

After everyone sat down, Mrs. Guogong spoke: "Another year has passed in a blink of an eye, isn't it the Spring Festival banquet again, and I am happy when I look at the flowers blooming in the courtyard." ”

"Aren't you happy, I see that there are more flowers this year than in previous years, Grandpa Guo knows that Mrs. loves flowers, and this posture really can't hold the best words of the Eastern Jin Dynasty to Mrs."

Being pampered by her husband is definitely something to show off to them, and the smile lines on her face gradually deepened as the Duchess listened to the compliments.

The banquets of the nobles of the family are always boring, Lin Mumu listened to the compliments of everyone, and only thought that he was a boring spectator.

Lin Mumu drank two cups of tea, and wanted to go to the toilet at this time, so she got up and walked out of the main courtyard while everyone was not paying attention.

"What's wrong with the princess?" Watching Lin Mumu come out, he couldn't help but be curious.

"It's boring, it's better to enjoy the flowers in the yard, but I have to go to the thatched house before enjoying the flowers."

Belch......

It turned out that I ate too much tea and snacks.

After coming out of the thatched house, Lin Mumu felt that his whole body was relaxed. "I didn't come if I knew it would be so boring, I thought Azhu would be there."

The two walked back, and as they rounded a corridor to pass through the Arch of the Moon, they nearly collided with the visitor.

"Ahh

The other party let out a low sigh and took a step back. Chinese bar

Lin Mumu was stunned for a moment and then looked at the other party.

I saw that the other party was a maid in a pink dress, holding a long box in her hand, and I didn't know what it contained.

The maid was angry and wanted to get angry, so she knelt on the ground in fear after touching the outfit on Lin Mumu's body. "The princess forgives the sins, the princess forgives the sins, the slave and maid did not intend to collide with the princess, please spare the slave and maid."

"Where are you going in such a hurry?"

The maid stiffened, bowed her head and said, "The county lord said to let the slave and maid send her something over, and the slave and maid didn't pay attention to the road ahead and collided with the princess." ”

Lin Mumu's eyes swept over the things in her hands. "Since it's for the master, let's go quickly."

"Yes, yes, slave and maid leave."

The maid got up and ran away as if there was a ghost chasing after her.

"Let's go and see what's going on."

Stacked nodded. "Yes."

Lin Mumu bypassed a small garden and returned to the banquet courtyard, and at this time there was already singing and dancing in the house, so that no one noticed Lin Mumu's departure.

After a dance, a young lady wearing a light cyan corset skirt suddenly spoke: "I have long heard that the emperor gave the county lord a stick to beat corrupt officials and punish the good and fear the evil. ”

"Yes, county lord, take it out and let us see."

The rest of the people saw that there was no displeasure or repulsion on the face of the Yongling County Lord, so they began to echo.

The county lord of Yongling seemed to be gracious, so he nodded and said: "Since you want to see it, then the county lord will take it out and let everyone take a look, otherwise you will turn around and say that I am hiding and tucking a stingy ghost, go, bring up the county lord's stick." ”

"Yes." The maid retreated.

"You girl." The Duchess of the Kingdom doted on the Lord Yongling and saw that she didn't say anything about punishment, and when she saw this, everyone knew it in their hearts, so she waited for the stick to be taken out and praised.

Soon, the maid brought the stick up.

Lord Yongling opened the box containing the babe and took it out.

When Lin Mumu was in Hot Pot City, he didn't pay attention to it, and only when he got closer did he see the appearance of the stick.

From the outside, it was a well-polished crutch, and it was nothing unusual on the ground no matter how you looked at it.

"This is the chastine given by the emperor, just looking at it feels infinitely majestic."

"Not really."

"Don't say that the county lord is stingy, today the county lord will let you see enough."

"Sister Yun'er, you come first." As the county lord of Yongling spoke, he handed the stick to Sima Yun.

Sima Yun always had an indifferent smile on his face, and after taking the stick, he took a closer look, as if he could really see what flowers were coming from. "Sure enough, it is a treasure given by the emperor, and it is different at first glance."

"Of course."

After reading it, Sima Yun got up and personally handed the stick to the people around him.

After the man finished reading it, Sima Yun took the basilica and passed it to the other person.

Slowly, Sima Yun walked to Lin Mumu.

"Princess, please look." Sima Yun held the stick in both hands, and handed the stick to Lin Mumu with a very solemn expression.

Lin Mumu didn't take the initiative to reach out to pick it up.

Seeing this, Sima Yun directly put the stick in Lin Mumu's hand, and just when Lin Mumu was about to refuse, he felt a slight tingling pain on the back of his hand, and his hand was reflexively thrown out!

"Ahh

"Smack!"

Sima Yun seemed to be pushed hard by Lin Mumu, his body staggered, and the stick in his hand flew out and fell heavily to the ground.

"My God, blame the stick, blame the stick is broken!"

At this time, there was an exclamation from the seat, and everyone looked at it, and sure enough, they saw that the bait had been split in two!

"My bastard!"

The county lord of Yongling stepped forward with a painful cry, and glared at Lin Mumu with a distressed face holding the broken stick. "You broke the county lord's stick, this is a treasure given by the emperor, you actually broke it, you are so bold!"

"The county lord is angry, the princess didn't mean it, maybe the princess just doesn't want to see me." Sima Yun's face was full of panic and helplessness, and he seemed to be excusing Lin Mumu, but when he heard these words, he was even more sure that Lin Mumu broke the stick.

"Royal Princess, this is a stick given by the emperor, you broke it because of your own selfishness, you are disrespectful to the emperor! This is Mrs. Ben will never be tolerated, come on, and arrest this person who dares to be disrespectful to the emperor! ”
