Chapter 17: The Queen's Birthday (1)

The carriage swayed towards the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the two were silent all the way, and there was a sweet aroma of wine wafting in the carriage.

Xiao Muning remembered the two jars of wine that he saw brought up by the little servant just before getting into the carriage, "What kind of wine, it smells so good?" ”

"Sister Ling Xiao gave me two jars of plum wine."

Xiao Muning glanced at Lin Qingwan, "Do you like to drink plum wine?" ”

"Well, I like it!" The wine of this world, Lin Qingwan has just drunk plum wine, and he hasn't tasted anything else.

"I heard you still like the gazebo in the General's Mansion?"

Lin Qingwan nodded, where did he hear about her preference, "Well, I feel that the design of the Huxin Pavilion is very chic, watching the snow in winter and enjoying the cool in summer can be regarded as a joy in life!" ”

Xiao Muning played with the jade pendant on his waist and asked, "What else do you like?" ”

Lin Qingwan was a little confused by his question, and thought seriously for a while, "I still like the attic and the lotus pond." ”

Xiao Muning nodded and said to the outside of the car, "Ruoying, tell the head of the palace that this king wants a pavilion in the middle of the lake that is even more unique than the general's mansion, transplant more lotus flowers in the lake, and build an exquisite attic on the shore." ”

Lin Qingwan looked at him in surprise, and just wanted to speak, Xiao Muning asked again, "Is there anything else?" ”

Lin Qingwan hurriedly shook his head, lowered his head and didn't speak again, wondering in his heart, what's wrong with Xiao Muning today? Surprisingly didn't argue with her.

The palace building also asked for her opinion, what is he going to do? Given that she has just behaved well, reward her? It shouldn't have been built in a royal palace!

Wakakage heard their conversation and replied with a snicker, "Yes, Lord Wang! Subordinates will do it! ”

Xiao Muning put down the jade pendant and looked out the window, "The clothes to be worn for tomorrow's banquet, I have already asked someone to send them to your room!" But I regret it now, you can wear one at the banquet tomorrow! ”

"Huh!?" Lin Qingwan's words of thanking him almost came out, and now she seriously doubted that she had misheard.

"Ahhh I told you not to wear that! ”

Lin Qingwan nodded sluggishly, "Oh, okay, Lord Wang!" ”

The carriage was parked at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xiao Muning took the lead in getting off, turned around and stretched out his hand to help Lin Qingwan get out of the car, and Steward Wang ran over in small steps, "Lord Wang, Miss, just now the four princes sent someone over and sent a gift box." ”

Xiao Muning asked first, "What gift box?" Bring it to the king. ”

Steward Wang glanced at Lin Qingwan and saw that she nodded at herself, so she took out the gift box from the concierge and gave it to Xiao Muning.

There is a colorful Xia robe lying in the gift box, which will be like a fairy if you wear it.

Xiao Muning's face showed disdain, "Ruoying, return the clothes to the fourth prince, just say thank you for his kindness, this king has a heart!" ”

Lin Qingwan didn't stop it, but he felt that Xiao Muning was a little funny, and the clothes were not given to him, what did he understand!

Ruoying took the gift box, "Yes, Lord Wang." ”

On the way back to the East Courtyard, Xiao Muning thought all the way and stood in front of Lin Qingwan's room, "You still wear the one I gave you!" ”

"Yes, lord."

Lin Qingwan watched Xiao Muning leave, is this guy a monkey? The relationship is with her in this performance to see me seventy-two changes! Isn't it just a piece of clothing?

"Xiao Tan, take out the dress that the prince sent and show me!"

Xiao Tan took out the clothes from the gift box on the table and hung them on the hanger, Lin Qingwan changed his clothes and walked out, and his eyes couldn't help but stop when he saw the clothes.

Compared with the clothes given by the four princes, the one given by Xiao Muning is more suitable for a solemn occasion such as a banquet, the clothes are light and thin, and the matching of colors and patterns is more atmospheric and stable, without losing the cuteness and agility that she should have at her age.

"Xiao Tan, take your clothes and incense! Pack up your gifts, don't forget to take them tomorrow! ”

In the evening of the next day, the carriages of the ministers set off for the palace gate, and the market was full of traffic for a while.

At the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lin Qingwan walked out quickly and told Xiao Tan to take the congratulatory gift.

Xiao Muning stood at the foot of the steps and looked up at her, Lin Qingwan had carefully groomed her makeup and hair accessories in order to match this outfit today.

When she came out, the people at the door were all amazed, which was why Xiao Muning didn't want her to wear this dress to the banquet.

Xiao Muning glanced at everyone coldly, and the gathered people saw that King Ning was displeased, and they all quickly dispersed.

Xiao Muning stopped Lin Qingwan and handed her something, a small one, she reached out to catch it.

"Lord Wang, what is this?" Lin Qingwan looked at the small silver needle in his palm and asked blankly.

Xiao Muning blocked the sight of others with his body, "Put it away, don't be seen!" This is a silver needle for testing poison, and the things at the entrance must be carefully checked, and don't walk around by yourself when you get to the palace. Remember? ”

Lin Qingwan put the silver needle into her sleeve, and her old father went online again, "Lord Wang, you are too worried!" They won't be stupid enough to use the same scheme twice! If he really uses it twice, I will look down on him! ”

Xiao Muning is also just in case, as the so-called caution can sail the ship of ten thousand years, he sneered and said, "You haven't waited to look down on others, don't suffer first!" Besides, do you think the only thing you have to protect yourself from is poison? And what about the medicine? ”

Xiao Muning's words reminded her, yes! In ancient times, there was not only this kind of poison, how could she forget the usual methods of the harem in the TV series.

She just thinks that someone wants her life, but she forgets the etiquette and religion of this era, and it is not like playing to kill a woman!

Xiao Muning looked at her suddenly realized, and laughed at her in her heart, no matter how eccentric she was, she was just a child after all.

He helped Lin Qingwan into the carriage, and walked to the front to prepare to ride into the palace, Ruoying came to report at this time, "Lord Wang, the envoy of the Northern Han has arranged to enter the palace." ”

"Are all our people arranged?"

"Don't worry, the prince's subordinates have gone down according to the prince's instructions, and the whole of Kyoto is on alert! The people who arranged to follow Xu Luochen today are all elites who have been on the battlefield, and Duan Xiaohou Ye is also accompanying him. ”

"What about the barracks outside the city?"

"It has been arranged, and patrols have been stepped up in the city. There is Zhao Commander in the palace, and if there is a change, you can cooperate with us inside and outside. ”

At the mention of this Zhao Chen, Xiao Muning's expression changed, "Okay, let's go!" ”

Lin Qingwan got into the carriage with a heavy heart, and Mrs. Lin looked at her daughter, "What did the prince tell you just now?" ”

"He gave his daughter a silver needle to test the poison, and told her to pay attention to her diet and not to walk alone in the palace." Lin Qingwan told her mother truthfully.

Mrs. Lin smiled with relief, "I was also about to remind you to pay attention to these, but I didn't expect that the prince was thoughtful." ”

Lin Qingwan nodded and didn't say anything more.

Since Lin Qingwan settled in the East Courtyard, Mrs. Lin rarely saw her daughter except during meal time, and the time was right to say something considerate to her daughter, "I heard people say that the prince is very good to you, what do you think of yourself?" ”

Although Lin Qingwan has not been in contact with Xiao Muning for a long time, she has the background of court battles, and her identity makes her the object of all forces.

Needless to say, anyone with a discerning eye can see it. If you really want to talk about how Xiao Muning treats her, whether it is sincere or false, everyone is good at acting, and she can't say it.

But since fate has tied them together, in addition to win-win cooperation, if they can communicate with each other in the future, it will of course be a great joy for all.

But the current situation is unknown, Lin Qingwan didn't want his mother to worry, smiled and took his mother's hand and said, "The prince really treats his daughter very well, his father is the prime minister of the court, and with such a mother's backing as a backing, he doesn't dare to bully his daughter!" And my daughter has been pleasing since she was a child, and God favors her! Mothers don't have to worry! ”

Mrs. Lin heard her daughter say this, and knew that she had her own hills and valleys in her heart, which made her feel a little relieved, "Of course mother knows that you have been eccentric since you were a child, and even your father is not as good as your father in dealing with people, but as a parent, who doesn't want the child's road to be smoother." ”

"Mother, you don't have to think so, what's the point of living a boring life? In the world of life, suddenly like a traveler. Since the end is death, then we can try to do a good job of living. As the saying goes, do your best to obey the destiny of heaven! ”

Lin Qingwan also didn't know how her mother felt when she heard the words 'do your best to obey the destiny of heaven' from the mouth of a 14-year-old child.

Just looking at Mrs. Lin's expression, she was quite shocked, and people who were dying could not necessarily say such open-minded words.

But when I think about it, her daughter is a person who has died once, maybe because of this matter, she will become so open-minded!
