Chapter 178: Reward Banquet

In order to congratulate the two girls on the happy event of being canonized as the county lord, adhering to the queen mother's will, the family members of the Chengguo Mansion were specially invited to have a dinner in Changchun Palace tomorrow, and the queen mother personally rewarded them.

Since it is to congratulate the two county lords, then Zhennan Houfu is bound to go.

Regardless of the status of meritorious service in the court, where is the Chengguo Mansion on a par with the Zhennan Houfu, but now it is also on an equal footing, and tomorrow's dinner party does not know how to compete against each other!

Since Lin Shaohai was pointed at by Zhennan Hou that day, he has lingering palpitations against Zhennan Hou, and the more he has a grudge against the Chengguo Mansion, His Majesty will just lift the two to the same position, not afraid that the two families will not deal with each other, and His Majesty's move is also worth pondering.

Lin Shaohai was still not at ease, but as soon as Lin Zhen returned to the house, Lin Shaohai hurriedly asked someone to invite her to the study to discuss.

"There is always some uneasiness in my father's heart, this Your Majesty has rewarded such a big face in the Chengguo Mansion, I'm afraid it's not a happy event."

Lin Shaohai has experienced the past grinding, and in the face of the emperor's favor, he did not dare to be complacent, and he also knew that His Majesty's favor was in a thought, if he forgot the fundamentals, wouldn't he follow in the footsteps of Nanhou Zhen.

"Happy events and bad things may not be, and the father doesn't have to tremble, and the daughter who said that she should be the county lord may not be impossible."

Lin Zhen saw that his face was full of urgency, pacing back and forth, and there was a great tendency for wind and rain to come, so he couldn't help but be relieved.

"What do you mean by that?"

Lin Shaohai stopped, and his eyes occasionally burst out with a hint of hope, and it seemed that he had listened to Lin Hao's words.

"After our Chengguo Mansion is also a meritorious service, how can the Zhennan Hou Mansion not be, Your Majesty has established the daughter of the Zhennan Marquis as the county lord, is it difficult to achieve the daughter of the Chengguo Gong as the county lord?"

Lin Hao's tone was gloomy, and his expression was not as anxious as Lin Shaohai, but he told the truth, and he did not correct it in vain, and it seemed that he had thought about it early.

"But Zhennan Hou has repeatedly made military exploits, and his wife is the county lord of the old prince, and it is not uncommon for his daughter to be established as the county lord, Zhennan Hou has not dealt with us, and now it seems that he must want to get rid of it sooner." Lin Shaohai was afraid that Lin Hao wouldn't understand the complexity, so he naturally wanted to explain it to her, but he never thought that Lin Hao didn't care.

"Daddy, don't forget, they are all ministers, they are your Majesty's minions, is it possible to turn over Your Majesty, no matter how powerful he is the Marquis of Zhennan, if he shouldn't have a heart, then he will be a minister in vain......"

Lin Zhen stopped at the point.

"Daddy, since Your Majesty has raised some of the mansions of the country, you must not make an unsuccessful appearance, Your Majesty will give it, and we will accept it. What the king gives, as a courtier, you must not only accept it, but also deserve it, and live up to your majesty's promotion. ”

Lin Zhen saw that Lin Shaohai looked uncertain, so she had to remind her a few words, if she was overwhelmed, she would be incompetent.

Lin Shaohai's expression froze when he heard this, and he slowly came back to his senses, and looked at Lin Hao's expression with a touch of enthusiasm, "What Zhen'er said is extremely true, if your father is incompetent, in the eyes of Your Majesty, it is also an outcast, and it is useless at all, not to mention whether the Zhennan Hou Mansion will do it, Your Majesty is the first one who can't tolerate it." ”

Lin Zhen bowed her head and felt relieved, "It's good that Daddy can see through it." However, tomorrow night's palace banquet, dad must not take it lightly, the left is not to be blocked, and the water is to cover it. The magnanimity of the Chengguo Mansion may not be lost. ”

Lin Shao's seawater blue tuanhua dark pattern brocade robe sets off the restraint of others to middle age, and he does have the bearing of a courtier, not arrogant or impatient, and in the end, he has also precipitated a lot in the prison, so this mood is very different from before.

"It's nature." Lin Shaohai pulled up his cuffs and shook his arms slightly, "Daddy is also a nobleman, and His Majesty values the courtiers, how can he lose his temperament in front of the reckless men like the Marquis of Zhennan." ”

Lin Zhen smiled when she heard this, so she settled down and rested early tonight, so that she could cope with tomorrow's dinner party well.

This night, Lin Hao slept sweetly, but secretly sent someone to stare at Shen Xinggui, whether it was true or not, the details of this weekday behavior can be seen very clearly, Lin Hao also planned to keep him cold for a few days, and then make plans after the dinner.

Lin Zhen has lived to this day, and since she offered the handful of soil to the Queen Mother, she will not break free from this right and wrong.

The more chaotic the harem of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, the more involved in it is not necessarily that the Chengguo Mansion will not be able to protect itself, and sometimes, everything that seems unrelated and everything that seems dangerous can protect the safety of the Chengguo Mansion.

Lin Zhen is waiting, waiting for the spring of the next year, before she can show her strength, she will either let the Chengguo Mansion fall silent, or she will be completely eye-catching, she is not afraid to stand out, at least protect it for a while.

The tragic situation in her previous life made her always vigilant, if she didn't fight, it was only a matter of time before the Chengguo Mansion followed in the footsteps of her previous life.

Now that the Northern Xinjiang War has been triggered, as long as my brother earns a decent glory for Chengguo Gong on the front line, the Chengguo Mansion can slowly gain a foothold in the capital, not seeking more, but seeking appropriateness.

If the merit is high, I am afraid that it will end up with the suspicion of the king.

After all, on this day, Lin Zhen's This is the first time she has entered the palace as a court wife, after all, it is very decent, she is dressed in court clothes, and she dressed up early, she Lin Zhen's life, it is not in vain that she has been wronged for most of her life, at least this daughter allows her to have the qualifications to enter the palace to go to the banquet, this is not an ordinary palace banquet, but a reward banquet.

It is natural for her to be overjoyed, but she also knows the character of this daughter, no matter how happy she is, she does not dare to exceed her duty.

In this way, when it was almost dinner time, the family of three got on the sedan chair and hurried towards the palace gate.

Originally, the women entered the palace through the gate of Qixiang Palace, but since there were courtiers, it was not appropriate for the gate of Qixiang Palace to enter and exit, so the guards led the Shenwu Gate in, which was a big generous party, and for the first time except for the previous dynasty, it entered from the Shenwu Gate.

"Old man......"

Lin Zhen saw that the imperial city was heavily guarded, and after taking a few steps, there were guards to investigate, and everyone was solemn, and secretly swallowed his throat, and he unconsciously felt a little sweat in his hands.

Lin Shaohai shook Lin Zhen's cold palm and smiled at her with relief, "This palace gate is about to be locked, this imperial city is patrolling more frequently, it is normal to check like this, you don't have to be afraid......"

Lin Zhen was relieved, after all, she had never come to the palace, what Lin Shaohai said, she naturally believed it.

It's just that Lin Shaohai also wondered in his heart, how there are more than three times more guards in the imperial forest today than in the past, and the atmosphere in the imperial city is solemn, but it is too quiet, the lights are lit early, and the jumping flames shine the imperial city like a white sun, which always makes people feel vaguely ominous.

"Here we are."
