Three days before the Flower Dynasty Festival, Yun Lanzhi asked someone to send an invitation card in the palace, and three days later, he asked Lin Yue to attend the Palace Banquet of the Flower Dynasty Festival.

Although the banquet was held in the evening, early in the morning, the courtiers and the wives had to enter the palace, and Lin Yue was now the county lord, so naturally it was no exception.

Lin Yue, who had put on the county lord's court dress early in the morning, got into his own Zhulun carriage and walked along the bustling streets to the palace.

Yun Lanzhi rode a horse and followed by Lin Yue's car.

"Lord Yun, what's going on with this palace banquet?" Lin Yue slightly opened the curtain on the carriage and asked in a low voice.

"Half a month ago, the Xiliang envoys entered, and today's palace banquet is to wash the dust for the Xiliang envoys, but in previous years, Xiliang did not come to pay tribute at this time, and this year it was because of the spring drought, so it came ahead of schedule." Yun Lanzhi said in a low voice.

It turned out that this Xiliang envoy came to fight the autumn wind. Then today's palace banquet should be lively to watch.

Lin Yue leaned on the carriage and thought in his heart. I didn't realize what the consequences of this wedding reception might be for me.

When the carriage arrived at the palace gate, the ministers and the ladies had to go separately.

Lin Yue is now the county lord, so he was graciously picked up by the grandmother of the queen's palace. Such a special treatment has attracted the attention of many noble women.

"I don't know why the queen is in such a hurry to summon me?" Lin Yue didn't think that the queen was in such a hurry to send someone to call her over because she liked her.

"Niangniang said that she hadn't seen the county lord for a long time, and it happened that Miss Li was also there, so she called the county lord over and everyone talked together." Mama lowered her head and said decently.

Oh, the queen really didn't have a good heart, can she and Li Xin'er still talk well together?

Lin Yue mocked the queen in her heart, this kind of petty style was actually something that the mother of a country could do. has such a mother, but it is also a pity for the prince.

When Lin Yue entered the queen's palace, Li Xin'er was talking and laughing with the queen, and when she saw herself coming, her eyes were not arrogant and domineering before, but a little sympathy.

"Say hello to the Queen." Lin Yue saluted according to the rules, and sat silently on the side, watching the scene of the queen and Li Xin'er playing the role of mother and son.

She answered whatever the queen asked her, but she never took the initiative to interject, this kind of wise attitude of self-preservation made the queen even more disgusted in her heart.

"Okay, the Flower Dynasty Festival has begun, you two should accompany the palace to the main hall."

Finally, when the time for the banquet came, Lin Yue had always disliked this kind of activity, and as soon as he entered, he found a corner to reduce his sense of existence.

"Your Majesty, my new monarch of Xiliang is not long ago, and I urgently need a capable lord of the middle palace to assist the new emperor, this time I am not only here to pay tribute, but more importantly, I want to ask for a palace master from your country, and I am the queen of Xiliang." The words of the Xiliang envoy stirred up a thousand waves in the main hall.

The emperor does not have a daughter of the right age to marry and kiss, so the candidate for this harmony will inevitably be chosen from the official lady or the children of the Zong, but Xiliang is located in the northwest region and is not a good place to live, so all the fathers who have a little heart are thinking about how to refuse the emperor's will in their hearts.

"I know Xiliang's request, the marriage between the two countries is a big deal, and we will discuss it slowly after the banquet is over."

The emperor's meaning was not very clear, and he did not say that he would send someone to make peace, but he did not explicitly refuse, so this palace banquet, the courtiers with daughters at home were very worried.

Lin Yue felt the frequent gazes of the queen and Li Xin'er, and this feeling of being scrutinized was very uncomfortable, so she decided to go out for a walk and smooth her mood. When the queen saw Lin Yue go out, she hurriedly gave the maid beside her a look, and the maid received the queen's order and ran out in a hurry.

Lin Yue walked outside, the cool breeze was blowing, and she felt a lot more comfortable.

Just as Lin Yue turned the corner and walked towards the depths of the garden, a dark shadow suddenly flashed in front of him, and then he lost consciousness as soon as it was dark in front of him.

When he woke up again, Lin Yue was in a dimly lit palace. She moved her body, fortunately she was not tied, Lin Yue stood up and wanted to push open the gate of the palace, but found that the gate was locked from the outside.

At this time, a man's voice came from outside: "Do you think we can do this?" ”

"It's okay, the man told us that this is a county lord, as long as we get the county lord back, the king won't blame us."

The Central Plains accents of the two people outside were very blunt, and Lin Yue was alarmed. It seems that someone is trying to frame themselves. She thought of Li Xin'er's compassionate eyes before, and suddenly felt that this was a conspiracy.

Lin Yue hid in the corner of the palace, holding a slender candlestick in her hand, no matter what happened for a while, she couldn't let those people succeed.

Listening to the sound of the two men walking closer and closer, Lin Yue's hand holding the candlestick couldn't help but tremble.

Who can come out and save her at this time?

Lin Yue held his breath, and just as he was about to fight with the two gangsters from Xiliang, he suddenly heard two muffled snorts outside, and after that, the surroundings immediately became quiet.

"Yue'er, where are you?" The prince's nervous voice sounded in the hall.

When Lin Yue heard the prince's voice, he walked out of the corner tremblingly as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw in the water, and the candlestick in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter, making a clanging sound in the empty hall.

"It's fine if you're okay." This feeling of loss and recovery made the prince feel relieved, and he hugged Lin Yue all of a sudden.

"I followed those two so far, and I thought they were going to plot evil, but I didn't expect it to target you. Luckily, I arrived in time. The prince said with a sigh of relief.

"Do you know who is going to harm me?" Lin Yue asked with a trembling voice.

"This ...... Who is trying to harm you, I have already sent someone to investigate, it is not safe outside, you should go back to the main hall with me. The prince took Lin Yue's hand and walked outside.

In the depths of the night, a little palace maid saw the scene in front of her and hurriedly rushed back to report to the queen.

As soon as she heard that her plan had been disrupted by her dearest son, the queen angrily broke the wine glass in her hand.

"Why is the queen absent-minded?" The emperor glanced at it and asked meaninglessly.

"Shen Shen is thinking about the desolate Shi Shen and his relatives, and the concubine thinks that the identity of the county lord is quite suitable." The queen said curtly.

"Lin Yue?" The emperor frowned, "This girl is good, if she sends it out to make peace, it will be a loss." ”

"In my opinion, the girl of your Li family is not bad, although her brain is not enough, but her face is good-looking, if she can confuse the new monarch of Xiliang, she will also contribute to my dynasty." The emperor said lightly.

"Your Majesty, how can this be!" The queen was shocked.

"Queen, do not do to others what you do not want to be done to yourself." After the emperor finished speaking, he ignored the empress.
