Chapter 3: Summoned to the Palace

Besides, the one in the teahouse, who watched Lin Qingwan leave, if he hadn't made an appointment today, he would definitely go to see whose young lady it was.

He got up and walked upstairs to the private room he had made an appointment, Ruoying opened the door for him, Xiao Muning was already sitting on the main seat drinking tea, watching him come in and put down the teacup, "Why did it take so long to come up?" ”

The man shook the folding fan in his hand, and some of the postures of a merry boy sat down opposite him, "If the beauty is like a beauty, I look forward to being displaced!" If it weren't for the fact that I wanted to see you, I would have gone to the door to propose marriage now, and I would have thought I was late. ”

"As the concubine of Marquis Duan, shouldn't you wait for the marriage in the palace?" Xiao Muning ignored Duan Jin's nonsense.

Duan Jin put down the folding fan, "What about marriage?" It's a big deal to keep the position of the main room for him, I'll take the concubine's room first! ”

Xiao Muning lowered his head and blew the floating tea leaves in the bowl, and said with a sneer, "Your idea, I think it's feasible, I don't know if Marquis Duan agrees." ”

When it comes to his father, Duan Jin has nothing to say, Duan Hou Ye is famous for his strictness in teaching his son.

Duan Jin looked at Xiao Mu Ningzhi's smug appearance, and replied, "I can't compare to you, I have had a marriage contract since I was a child, and the other party is still Lin Xiang's only daughter." Speaking of this Lin Qingwan, this Lin Qingwan is really miserable, these two men in his life, one is the prime minister of the court, and the other is the prince who holds military power. On the surface, the scenery is infinite, but in fact, you can't help yourself! It's a pity! ”

When it comes to Lin Qingwan, Xiao Muning's mind always comes to mind of the girl sitting in the coffin looking up at him with a puzzled expression. He knew that the reason why Lin Qingwan was poisoned was mostly because he was implicated.

"By the way, the storyteller downstairs was arranged by you!"

Xiao Muning nodded, "It's too strange that she came back from the dead, instead of letting others make a fuss about this matter, it's better to strike first, and we can still take the lead." ”

That day, when he saw Lin Qingwan's funeral procession, he felt a wave of anger in his heart, but he didn't expect Lin Xiang's father and daughter to be so careless, so that the enemy could easily take advantage of the loophole.

"Let's get down to business, did you find out what I asked you to check? Poisoned and resurrected, is it really the same person? "Xiao Muning is not in Beijing all the year round, and he doesn't know much about some of the situations. It's just that when I saw Lin Qingwan that day, I always felt that she was different from the rumors.

"It's the same person, she really came back to life on her own! Even the emperor has investigated this! also specially sent the imperial doctor in the palace to diagnose her pulse! ”

In addition, Duan Jin secretly investigated for a few days, but did not find any news about the murderer, "The people in the palace who knew about this matter were all killed, and no clues were left." But I think that the eldest princess should not know and kill people at her own banquet, wouldn't it be too stupid to act like this! ”

Xiao Muning's eyes narrowed slightly, "What happened in the palace, there are not many who can be so clean!" ”

Because Xiao Muning's whereabouts could not be exposed, the windows of their wing room were closed, Duan Jin felt stuffy, shook the folding fan and said, "As soon as this incident came out, it contributed to the cooperation between you and Lin Xiang, which is also a good thing!" ”

They were all silent for a while, and Duan Jin suddenly remembered something, "By the way, that person has always been curious, he wanted to summon Lin Qingwan in the past two days, but he was rejected by Lin Xiangwan several times, and it is estimated that this matter will not drag on for too long." ”

Thinking of the previous poisoning in their palace, Xiao Muning chuckled and said, "What's so good to see, do you want to poison it again?" ”

Duan Jin smiled slightly and pulled the topic back, "Even if someone wants to do it, this trace is too heavy to say!" ”

After this incident, she should always have some growth, and some roads must be walked by herself. You've been out for a long time, so that's all for today! It's time for me to go back to the big army. After speaking, Xiao Muning got up and dressed up with Ruofeng, rode a fast horse and ran out of the city.

For a few days, Lin Qingwan lived a comfortable life, and instead of jumping out of the house, he went down to the kitchen on a whim, made something that seemed strange at the moment, and forced Xiao Tan and Zizhu to taste it.

Xiao Tan took a small spoon and scooped the small black glutinous rice dumplings in the porcelain bowl and asked, "Miss, what is this!" So delicious! This little ball is chewy. ”

"I named it 'bubble tea', and you said that if you take this out and sell it, will there be a market?" Lin Qingwan looked at Zizhu and Xiao Tan expectantly, waiting for their opinions.

Zizhu lowered her head and drank milk tea, because she didn't like sweets, Lin Qingwan specially made her a bowl of less sugar, she looked up at Lin Qingwan, "What does Miss mean by this?" What is a market? ”

"Will more people like to drink it?"

Zizhu's evaluation is very simple, "Yes, this is cool and relieves the heat!" ”

"Miss, are you going to take it out and sell it?" Xiao Tan asked in surprise.

"With this plan, you can send someone to bring some to my mother in a while, so that she can taste them too."

Lin Qingwan thought that he had come here, instead of sitting here and waiting for death, he should do something. A person with modern thinking is afraid that he can't fight a group of ancient people. If you really encounter danger in the future, you must have the strength to protect yourself.

Steward Wang trotted all the way from outside, out of breath, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and then arched his hand and said, "Miss, the old slave can be regarded as looking for you." ”

"Steward Wang, I made some milk tea, do you want to try it?" Lin Qingwan saw that he was panting as if he was pulling a wind box.

Steward Wang said anxiously, "Oh, my young lady! Don't taste it! Gonggong Hong, who delivered the decree in the palace, is about to arrive at the house. Hurry up and sort it out so you can get the order. ”

From the palace? Lin Qingwan secretly said in his heart, if he should come, he still has to come, the emperor has waited patiently for so many days, and it is naturally unreasonable to shirk it.

"Steward Wang sits here for a while and drinks a bowl of milk tea! I'm going to change my clothes! ”

Lin Qingwan served him a bowl and took Xiao Tan and Zizhu back to the room, "You guys also go and change your clothes and prepare to enter the palace with me." ”

Steward Wang was afraid that the people from the palace would be in a hurry, so he hurried to the front yard with Lin Qingwan, and when he arrived at the front yard, Lin Xiang and his wife were greeting Gonggong Hong, who was passing the decree. Lin Qingwan stepped forward and gave a slight salute, "Hong Gong's public security is good!" ”

Gonggong Hong hurriedly returned the salute, and said with a smile, "The county lord is really tormenting the old slave!" How can an old slave afford you to be like this? ”

Princess? The title of posthumous seal is still used today? This makes Lin Qingwan sound a little uncomfortable now!

But after all, Gonggong Hong is a person next to the emperor, a person who has been with the king for many years, and he was sent to pick her up in person, isn't it a bit of a fuss!

She smiled quietly, "Regardless of identity, Father-in-law Hong is an elder, and the younger generation should be like this." ”

"The county lord is really good at laughing, how can he put aside his identity!" Gonggong Hong kept his smile still smiling, "Since everyone is here, then let's announce the decree!" ”

Lin Qingwan knelt in front of her father to listen to the decree, this holy decree was nothing more than to summon her into the palace, but fortunately she didn't say that she would only go alone. She had already been mentally prepared, and she also wanted to see what the palaces and emperors of this world were like.

Gonggong Hong bowed down and raised his hand, "County Lord, please, the carriage has been waiting outside for a long time." ”

Lin Qingwan glanced back at his mother, who was full of worry, and comforted, "Don't worry! My daughter will be back in a while, and she will be fine. ”

Gonggong Hong walked in front to lead the way, saying that the pomp of the emperor's invitation is really big, not only Gonggong Hong, but even the forbidden army in the palace has sent a few, is this afraid that she will not go?

Lin Qingwan sat in the carriage, this was the first time she had come out of the house from the gate in this world, walking through the streets and alleys, and there were shouts all around, which made people feel cordial when they listened.

The further the carriage went, the quieter the voices became, and at last it fell silent, and only the sound of horses' hooves on the brick road and the rolling of wheels could be heard.

Lin Qingwan was arranged to get off at the palace gate closest to the imperial study, and Gonggong Hong led her to the imperial study on foot.

Seeing the wall tiles of the palace gate, Lin Qingwan felt a little nervous, and when he got out of the car, he whispered to the maid Xiao Tan, "In a while, who do you see and what kind of salute should you do, you remind me, don't let people think that we are rude!" ”

Xiao Tan nodded in response.

The palace of Dayu is a little different from what she saw in Beijing, there is no red wall and yellow tile of the Forbidden City in Beijing, and the flying dragon totem.

The large blue brick floor, pavilions and pavilions, although not magnificent, also looks solemn.

Walking outside a palace with heavy military handles, Gonggong Hong stopped, turned around and said, "The emperor has an order to let you in alone, and the old slave can only send the county lord here." ”

Lin Qingwan gave a slight salute, "I'm tired of Father-in-law Hong!" ”

Hearing the word county lord, Zhao Chen, the commander of the guards, looked Lin Qingwan up and down, it turned out that she was the focus of attention recently, and couldn't help but take a few more looks, and met her eyes, clear and resolute.

Lin Qingwan looked at him for a few seconds, and when he saw that he didn't speak, he spread his hand and asked, "Is it a routine check?" ”

Isn't that how they are played in TV dramas! Seeing that the emperor could not bring sharp weapons, in order to ensure that nothing was wrong before entering the study, he had to be searched and checked.

Zhao Chen immediately bowed his head and arched his hand, "The minister is rude, please forgive the county lord!" ”

Lin Qingwan wondered, rude? How is it rude?

Gonggong Hong hurriedly introduced, "This is Zhao Chen, the commander of Zhao, who is responsible for the safety of the palace. ”

Lin Qingwan raised his hand, "It's okay, Commander Zhao, please get up!" I didn't expect Commander Zhao to be so young and promising. ”

Zhao Chen still arched his hand and said, "The county lord praised it!" ”

Lin Qingwan straightened his sleeves and walked to the hall dignified and calmly.

Zhao Chen got up and looked at Lin Qingwan's back, no wonder her sister befriended her, it would be a pity if she died like that. Thinking of her seeing Tianyan alone at a young age, I couldn't help but feel a little worried!
