Chapter 197: Palace Banquet

In a blink of an eye, it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and Lin Yue reluctantly put on her princess's formal clothes, because she was going to the palace in the afternoon, asking the Queen Mother and others to be safe, and then attending the palace banquet. It is said to be a palace banquet, but in fact, it is also a family banquet, and the people who participated in this banquet today are all royal people.

Mo Jinglin looked at her with a bitter little face, and couldn't help but say, "Look at you like this, I don't like it like this, or we won't go." ”

"Can you say that if you don't go, you won't go?" Lin Yue glanced at Mo Jinglin, "It's just a meal, and it won't be good." If you don't go, then something will happen. I'm just worried that I won't be able to eat enough for a while. ”

Mo Jinglin smiled when he heard her say this, "In the end, it's the palace, where will you not be able to eat." ”

"Yes, it's the palace, and it's good to eat a lot of food. But the atmosphere is strange that people can't eat. "Lin Yue always felt that eating in the palace was really suffocating, and he didn't have any appetite.

"Guo'er, you will prepare a hot pot for Concubine Ben in a while, and when you come back, Concubine Ben will have a good Chinese New Year's Eve." Lin Yue had already dressed up at this time, and before going out, he instructed Guo'er to prepare a hot pot.

When Guo'er heard about it, she was naturally busy preparing for it.

Mo Jinglin pulled Lin Yue out of the door together, and said as he walked, "Xiao Yue is telling me that after a while, when you enter the palace, don't eat too much?" ”

"You eat yours, why don't you eat if you are full? Waste of food. ”

"Are you preparing hot pot at home, are you planning to eat alone?"

Lin Yue smiled evilly and said, "Well, that's a good idea. It's hard to get fat alone. It's good for me to eat alone, I'm afraid I'll gain weight. ”

Mo Jinglin touched Lin Yue's head and said, "Xiao Yue, it doesn't seem to be the case that this is not used for eating alone." ”

"Mind what to do, let's take it literally. Moreover, there are so many people in our house, and the expenses are quite large on weekdays. If you have something to eat outside, try to eat as much as you can and come back, lest the house have to prepare food for you again, do you know how much money it costs? ”

"Xiaoyue, you, when did you get into the money hole?"

"I don't know, I guess I accidentally fell into it while walking yesterday." Lin Yue replied with a smile.

After speaking, when Mo Jinglin helped him into the carriage, he saw the breeze with a bitter face on the side, and said, "I can forget about the Qingfeng thing, let's see what he has been stuffed into in the past few days." This is the New Year's Day, don't embarrass him too much. ”

Mo Jinglin glanced at Qingfeng, who was very smart at this time pretending to be aggrieved. Mo Jinglin slapped him and said, "You kid, what else are you pretending, you heard the princess's words, this king is in the princess's face, forget it this time, next time you talk a little brain." ”

As soon as Qingfeng heard that the ban had been lifted, he immediately said with a smile, "Thank you, princess." The little one is grateful, and he will be a cow and a horse in the next life, and he will repay the prince and the princess. ”

"Come on, you kid is a little poor." Mo Jinglin hadn't heard Qingfeng speak for a few days, and he was also flustered. Listening to him talk like this today, my mood is much better.

The group entered the palace. Mo Jinglin and Lin Yue separated, one went to the emperor, and the other went to the queen mother.

Lin Yue, as a newcomer and the youngest one, is naturally the object of ridicule by the concubines. So as soon as she entered the Queen Mother's Fushou Palace, she felt the eyes of all parties. She was so helpless. But he had to pretend to be calm and salute the queen mother and the queen and the princesses, and greet the other concubines before sitting down at the end. After all, although Mo Jinglin is the son of the Queen Mother. But he is the youngest of the princes of the previous dynasty, and none of the current princes are married, so Lin Yue is naturally the lowest among these princesses.

It's just that as soon as she sat down, everyone joked with each other, and some people said that this new daughter-in-law was different, and her complexion was good. Some people say that this princess looks fatter, don't be happy. Some people also say that looking at the love of this free king and his wife, he will definitely be able to hold a little fat boy in the coming year. In short, you say a word to me, Lin Yue is really not good to bow her head without pretending to be shy.

The Queen Mother is naturally happy that this Lin Yue can hold a big fat boy in the coming year, so it is quite useful to other daughters-in-law.

Everyone couldn't see that the queen mother couldn't hold the son of the King of Freedom as soon as possible, and even began to introduce the doctor to Lin Yue. Lin Yue really didn't know what to say. Privately, she was reluctant to have a child so early. If it was before, she was bent on getting married and having children. She longed too much for a complete home. But now, although she likes Mo Jinglin, she doesn't seem to have children with him. However, now that so many people are urging her to have a baby early, she wonders if it is better to go with the flow. After all, she also likes children.

Not long after, a eunuch came to invite everyone to the table, and Lin Yue escaped from the spawning army.

Because it was a family banquet, it was a table for husband and wife, Mo Jinglin saw Lin Yue's tired face, so he asked, "What's the matter, but those sisters-in-law are embarrassed for you." ”

Lin Yue smiled bitterly, "It's not true, it's just that I listened to them read about giving birth for a while, do you think they have nothing to do, why did they see me one by two and urge me to have a child?" This kid doesn't just have to talk about it. ”

"This king also thinks that it is better for us to have a child." Mo Jinglin hoped that Lin Yue would have a child as soon as possible, but he always felt that Lin Yue would leave at any time, so he hoped that having a child would make her settle down.

Lin Yue didn't expect that Mo Jinglin also hoped that he would give birth to a child as soon as possible, too, it was not him who gave birth to a child, where could he think so much. Lin Yue only replied lightly, "This kid, it's not that you can have it, it also depends on fate." ”

"Xiaoyue, don't you like children?" Mo Jinglin could obviously sense that when Lin Yue heard that he wanted a child, his mood was not right.

"No, I like it." Lin Yue replied.

"Then why are you so upset when you hear that I want a child too?" Mo Jinglin asked, but in his heart, he swallowed that sentence because this child is mine, so you are unhappy.

"I'm not upset, I'm just not ready to do it." Lin Yue said helplessly. She also felt that Mo Jinglin was a little unhappy, so she said, "This is the New Year, do we have to be unhappy because of this problem?" ”

"The problem? Is this a trifle? Mo Jinglin didn't think that Lin Yue really didn't plan to raise children with him.

"Are you sure you want to argue with me about this at this time?" Lin Yue suppressed the fire, to be honest, it was enough to annoy her by being told about having a child and having a child just now, and now that Mo Jinglin still has such an attitude, she feels that she is about to lose control.

Mo Jinglin also felt that it was not suitable to argue with Lin Yue about this issue at this time, so he didn't say anything more. It's just two people, and the mood is not very good at this time. It's obviously a bit out of place with the lively scene at this time. But fortunately, everyone was focused on singing and dancing, and they didn't notice the displeasure between the two of them.

Halfway through the banquet, Lin Yue didn't eat anything because she was angry. At this time, the queen spoke, "Taking advantage of this banquet, the palace also said to you, since the crown princess has been selected, the palace and the emperor mean that it is good to let the prince get married as soon as possible." So he sent the right time. This day is set on the third day of the third month of the following year. It's a little anxious, but you also have to be considerate of the palace and the emperor's heart. ”

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly stood up and congratulated, "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the queen mother, congratulations to the queen mother, congratulations to His Royal Highness the crown prince." ”

After everyone finished speaking, the queen continued, "Because the crown prince's side concubine is the daughter of Chen Taiwei, the meaning of this palace and the emperor is to welcome them together on the third day of the third month of March." ”

When Lin Yue heard this, he couldn't help but think helplessly, this was a good thing for the Chen family. After all, entering the door at the same time with the main concubine can be regarded as the royal family's attention to their Chen family's side concubine. But for women, it's not a good thing. After all, it is a big deal for a woman to get married, but on the same day, she entered the door with another woman.

And other people think differently from Lin Yue, what many people think in their hearts is that the queen really knows how to be a person, the prime minister and the daughter of Taiwei both entered the prince's mansion, and in order to win over the two forces, they also let them enter the door on the same day.

A palace banquet slowly came to an end with time. At the end of the banquet, the Queen Mother called her grandchildren to her side one by one, and after rewarding them with New Year's money, everyone stood up together, wishing the emperor and the Queen Mother and others good health in the coming year.

Lin Yue and Mo Jinglin had a little unpleasant quarrel because of the child's problem before. Therefore, the two of them did not talk and laugh as much as they did when they entered the palace just now. Qingfeng and Xiu'er followed into the palace together, and in the face of this sudden change, neither of them dared to say anything. I am afraid that if I say the wrong thing, I will make my master even more unhappy.

Mo Jinglin also noticed the estrangement between himself and Lin Yue, and was about to say something, but in his heart, he was depressed and unwilling to speak when he thought that Lin Yue didn't want to have a child with him.

Lin Yue naturally felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere between the two of them at the moment, but she was not in the mood to say anything to Mo Jinglin. She was afraid that as soon as she opened her mouth, the two of them would quarrel again. It's still in the palace, so it's not good to get out.

But this atmosphere didn't last long, because the Ming King Mo Jingming's family caught up with Mo Jinglin and his wife. And he began to speak with them. Lin Yue was very happy to meet Mo Jingming and them, after all, there was still a little distance from the palace gate, and it was better to chat than to go out quietly. And Princess Ming is also a gentle woman, Lin Yue feels that it is not difficult to get along with her.
