At two o'clock in the afternoon, Nanling Mo hurriedly had lunch and was about to change her clothes and enter the palace to thank her. Mei Xue appeared in the house with a box in her hand and said, "County Lord, this is what the prince ordered the slave to give you." ”

Nanling Mo opened it and saw that it was a half-fan butterfly-shaped mask with pure gold hollow and gem-inlaid gems that was even more gorgeous than the mask he had worn before.

Nanling Mo has been wearing a scarf every day since she lost her mask in the palace, although her face has long been restored, but she still does not plan to recover her face so quickly. Yun Tianhong seemed to know her inner thoughts, and sent her a mask very intimately.

After she drew the pale red birthmark in the mirror, she put on the mask, and for some reason, it made people have a kind of amazement and majesty that could not be removed, so that people did not dare to look directly after a glance, so as not to be ashamed of themselves.

Meishuang Meixue was stunned on the spot, and couldn't help but sigh: "County Lord, this mask is so beautiful, you are so good-looking." ”

After Nanling Mo hurriedly entered the palace, everyone else except Nanling Xiao also began to prepare to enter the palace to participate in the palace banquet according to their makeup. Nanling Xiao still said that he was sick and did not attend the longevity banquet in the past, and directly took people to the hot spring village to recuperate, but it was actually a business to go to Ducang Zhai because of the epidemic and flood incident, something went wrong, and he rushed over to deal with it.

The longevity banquet is still only allowed to be attended by family members and children of the grade, in the past, Concubine Jiang was just a concubine, and it sounded like a high-level room, and there was no grade to enter the palace for the banquet. After being canonized as a side concubine this year, she can finally enter the palace once. Naturally, he was nervous and excited, feeling that his hands were not suitable anywhere, and he was afraid that something would make a mess and embarrass Zhennan Wangfu.

Fortunately, Mrs. Jiang is used to seeing big scenes, and Concubine Jiang can barely cope with her follow. Nan Lingxuan followed the carriage behind, glanced at Nan Lingqing and Concubine Jiang with disdain, and muttered in her heart: "That's what can't be put on the table, how can a small family have the bearing of a princess in the palace." It's a shame on our Zhennan Palace. ’

Although Nan Lingqing's personality is very introverted, she is extremely sensitive. She soon felt Nan Lingxuan's unkind gaze shooting at herself and her mother, and a dark look flashed in her eyes, but she quickly suppressed it again.

When she entered the palace for the first time, she looked at the prosperous scene in the palace, and she was dazzled by the dazzling clothes and skirts of the nobles. Concubine Jiang also knew that her background was not high, but she thought that her daughter would be married next year, and she could almost find a candidate for a son-in-law. She doesn't want her daughter to be like herself, she will be submissive all her life, even if she doesn't marry a high-ranking family, the family of a petty official of the fourth or fifth grade is enough.

The House of Residence

Nanling Mo entered the palace first, and followed the eunuch to the Yangju Palace to thank him. After so many things, she still couldn't speak calmly to Yun Tianfeng. She always remembered the situation when the whole family of the Zhenguo Mansion was beheaded that day, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she couldn't help but shiver, and the cold air made the little eunuch on duty outside the door shiver coldly.

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhaoren has come to thank you." The outside prison came in and reported.

"Xuan."

"Lord Zhaoren, Lord County, Your Majesty will pass you in." The little eunuch at the door reminded.

Nanling Mo came back to her senses, quickly put away the cold air emitted from her body, took two deep breaths, and walked into the Yangju Hall with a decent smile. This made the little eunuch outside the door look at her and feel indescribably strange, and then looked at it and found that the county lord of Zhaoren was no different, and thought that he was dazzled.

Nan Lingmo walked into the Yangju Hall and found that the newly sealed head of the Lian family had already kowtowed inside. She walked into the hall without humility or arrogance, and made a standard salute: "The courtier, the lord of Zhaoren, thank Your Majesty for your grace." ”

"Zhaoren, hurry up." Yun Tianfeng said approvingly, "This time, thanks to you for developing a prescription to relieve the epidemic, otherwise I'm afraid this capital will not be what it is now." is worthy of being a descendant of the Jiang family. ”

"Your Majesty, the courtier's daughter just happened to have it, maybe it was because after so many imperial doctors took the medicine, the condition itself had improved, so it was so fast to use the courtier's prescription. Speaking of which, it is all the credit of the imperial doctors, and the courtiers have suffered it in vain. However, the courtiers and daughters are all great blessings that drag His Majesty. If it weren't for His Majesty's good governance, how could he have quelled this plague so quickly. Nan Lingmo said one thing at a time, she may not have been in the past, but the core inside her now is Li Yunqing, the person who has been a female official in Zhongshu Province for two years, Princess Ping for five years, and queen for three years, and she is easy to fight officialdom.

Yun Tianfeng likes this kind of cautious and arrogant courtier, plus today is his own Halloween, hearing what Nan Lingmo said and seeing the respectful admiration on her face, he was very happy on the spot, and praised him repeatedly.

Nanling Mo thanked her again and said, "Your Majesty, the grandmother of the courtier is about to enter the palace, and the courtier will retire first. ”

Yixian Hall began to be arranged early in the morning, a few years ago, Yun Tianfeng in order to keep the so-called national filial piety for three years, and did not hold a longevity feast, but simply handled by the inner court. After the expiration of the national filial piety mourning period, the unequaled queen died. Yun Tianfeng ascended the throne for three years, except for the palace banquet of the Beirong envoy, there has been no lively and lively banquet. This time, the Empress Dowager Feng meant to hold a longevity banquet, and also to marry King Li, King Le, and her daughter Princess Ronghui.

All the nobles gathered in the side hall of the Yixian Hall to chat. Nan Lingmo found her sister Nan Lingqing and sat aside, and Lin Chaoying took the initiative to find her: "Zhaoren, are you here?" Who is this? ”

"This is the fourth sister of my family, and her biological mother is Concubine Jiang." Nan Lingmo introduced, "This is my sister's best friend in Yunlu Academy, General Lin's daughter, Lin Chaoying. ”

Nan Lingqing got up and hurriedly saluted: "Sister Lin is good." ”

"Tut-tut, no wonder I've never seen your sister, who looks so well-behaved, it's me and I hid it." Lin Chaoying said with a smile, "It's your first time coming to the palace for a banquet, right?" Don't be afraid, follow me, I've got you covered. Lin Chaoying patted her chest as she spoke, and looked at Nan Lingqing with a smile.

Nan Lingqing also rarely showed a smile, nodded shyly, and showed a strange brilliance in her eyes.

Lin Chaoying whispered to Nanling Mo: "I heard that the Queen Mother is already showing His Royal Highness King Li and King Le the concubines on one side and the other, and she also wants to show Princess Ronghui her husband, and I don't know which family Princess Ronghui will marry." ”

"You girl, you are full of mouth and can't marry, is it possible that you want to marry?!" Nanling Mo said strangely.

"I don't want to get married, I want to be like Sister Jingsa and become a general." Lin Chaoying proudly tilted her head to the other side, "It's not like those women who know how to marry." ”

Nan Lingmo didn't care about what he said, after all, the national style of Dayan was open, and there were no female generals and female officials in the imperial court. It's just that for a little girl like Nan Lingqing, it's the first time I've heard this kind of remarks. She didn't dare to think that she would be a general or anything in the future, she only hoped that she would marry a wishful husband as her mother hoped, and she would be loving and beautiful until she grew old.

"Mother, I'm here!" Lin Chaoying didn't care about her image, and when she saw her mother coming over with her younger brother, she hurriedly waved her hand and hurriedly ran over, greeted her mother, and introduced: "Mother, this is the county lord of Zhaoren, this is the county lord's sister, Miss Nansi of the Zhennan Palace." ”

Lin Qin hurriedly saluted with the child, and Nanling Mo hurriedly said: "Mrs. Lin, you don't have to be polite, neither Chaoying nor I have such politeness." ”

Lin Qin smiled and said, "County Lord, thank you for taking care of me, so that my children can go to school at home in the palace." Lin Qin smiled and touched his son's head, and continued: "Jun'er always said that Miss Nansi in the palace was kind and kind, and often taught him to learn calligraphy, and I finally saw him today. Thank you also for the county lord and Miss Nansi for taking care of you. ”

Nan Lingqing's little face turned red, and she said for a long time: "The younger brother of the Lin family is very smart, and Mr. often praises him." ”

A few people here chatted happily, while Nan Lingmei and Nan Lingxuan over there looked at those people with disdain, chatting alone with their acquaintances.

Nan Lingmei walked towards An Yurao, who looked uneasy, and deliberately said: "Miss An, I heard that the Queen Mother is going to choose a concubine for His Royal Highness King Li and His Royal Highness King Le this time, you are from such a noble background, maybe you are the princess." ”

An Yurao's expression relaxed, and she smiled reluctantly: "This is all the will of the Queen Mother, how can we make any choice." ”

"Miss An, you can't say that, it's up to people to make things happen, and it's up to heaven to make things happen. If you don't plan, how can you marry Ruyi Langjun. Nanling Mei smiled mysteriously, "Otherwise, how do you think I was born to a side concubine, how did I get the marriage of the prince of Yong'an?" It's all planned. ”

An Yurao's heart moved, and her face still did not change: "But, it's all at this time, no matter how much you plan, it's nothing more than poetry and book talent, there are many noble girls present, how outstanding can I be?" ”

"Of course it's different, do you know why my mother was able to marry my father, that is, she has something special about her that attracts my father. If it weren't for my mother's favor, how could there be a second rank like a lady's fate? These are all invited by the father for the mother's concubine. ”

"This ...... If you have any way, just say it. ”

"My mother gave me a kind of fragrant honey, as sweet as the fragrance in the goose pear tent, and if His Royal Highness King Li smelled it, he would definitely be fascinated by you. If you don't believe me, you can try. Nan Lingmei looked at An Yurao's face and continued to bewitch, "Naturally, I know that Miss An is of noble birth and disdains such unsightly methods. But Miss An, you're nineteen, why don't you gamble for yourself at this time? ”

Saying that, Nan Lingmei took out the purse and put it in her hand, muttered in her ear for a while, then turned around and left with a smile. She was left alone in a daze.

I don't know how long it took, An Yurao's eyes opened, and she finally made up her mind to hold the purse tightly in her palm, and made up her mind to walk towards the place where she changed clothes.

After a while, An Yurao came out, took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to the purse and stuffed it back to Nan Lingmei, and whispered: "If it happens, I will be grateful." ”

Nanling Mei hooked her lips and smiled: "Then I wish Miss An success immediately, and when Miss An becomes Princess Li in the future, don't forget me." ”
