Chapter 255

"Entering the palace to go to the banquet is not a trivial matter, the officials within the three grades must bring their wives and daughters to participate, this is the custom, even if the Marquis of Wenchang is confused, he will not lock up his wife during the New Year's Festival. [Full text reading. Lord Lin shook his head, thought for a while, and continued, "You can do this by yourself, and I will go to the Fifth Highness's Mansion when I go back, if I come back late, you can just rest by yourself." ”

Because there were rumors before that the emperor intended to issue an order to marry the daughter of the Lin family to the five princes, it made the Lin family excited for a long time, but then no one mentioned it again. Now, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to Mobei, the five princes attracted a large number of officials in the court with lightning speed, and even tightly grasped the money bag of the household department, which was in charge of the treasury of the Great Zhou.

Later, he also saw with his own eyes that General Xiong, an auxiliary general who had fallen out with Zhang Manho, the protector of the country, secretly interacted with the five princes, and he was afraid that he would have surrendered a long time ago. Right now, he threw himself into His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, fearing that he would not be reused because of Zhang Manho's existence. But if he goes to the command of the five princes, Xu can still be valued, after all, even if he is inconspicuous, but there is a father-in-law of the Yue family who has a royal history platform and a long history behind him. Just with the weight of a royal history platform, it is estimated that the five princes will not dare to despise him.

On the day of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the Ministry of Ceremonies sent people to bring brocade clothes and gorgeous clothes, and specially sent a jewelry Zhu Qi that was regulated by the order, saying that the palace banquet would be held at the time of the unitary time. It's just that because the wife wants to meet the queen mother and the queen mother Chitose, she has to enter the palace when she is in Shen.

After making it clear, the people of the Ministry of Rites bowed and bowed and took their leave. The rest of the fragrant tea began to dress up Lin Baozhu, and the group was busy until it was almost time to apply. It's also a shame that there is a nurse in the house now, and occasionally when Lin Baozhu is too busy, he will also let the nurse feed Sheng Rui, so it doesn't matter.

When everything was ready, she checked the New Year's gift for the nobles that she had prepared herself, and then she was relieved. Because of the rumors in the palace, she took her son with her, saying that there had been no happy events in the palace for a long time, and the queen mother liked children very much, so she just thought it was to amuse the queen mother.

For this, she was powerless to refuse, so she could only tell Mama Liu and Xiangming Chunxi to dress Sheng Rui neatly, and then wrap a bright red cloak to avoid the cold. Fortunately, Mama Liu is a veteran, and she has served in the palace before, so Lin Baozhu is a lot more relieved.

When he arrived at Shen, Zhang Manchu also rushed back from the military department, changed into a dress, and took his daughter-in-law and son out of the house. Huguo Gongyuan also had a sedan chair, but this time Lin Baozhu was going to enter the palace with all the women, so the sedan chair carriage he took on weekdays was also replaced by a six-carrying sedan chair regulated by Mrs. Hui.

Sitting in the sedan chair, Lin Baozhu pulled the big girl to tease the child in her arms, and saw that the little guy was about to fall down with her legs and feet fluttering and turning over again and again, so she smiled and brought the building back, and then continued to poke her son's little arm and ass to make him tumble.

Sheng Jin was raised very well, and his small body was not only fleshy but also very powerful, but he had only been able to turn over himself for three months. And he scratches things, but he doesn't have a head in his hand, and he often grabs empty, but he doesn't get angry when he catches it, he just giggles.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the sedan chair stopped at Donghua Gate. At this time, there were already wives waiting outside the door, and there were maids and grandmothers waiting with them on the side, and they all respectfully did not dare to make any moves.

Originally, Lin Baozhu didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but she didn't want to be when she just got off the sedan chair and was holding her son in her arms and bowing her head to talk to her daughter. I saw several noble ladies standing next to her looking at her, their noses were not noses, their eyes were not eyes, and they sneered and mocked: "Who was I at that time, it turned out to be the Duchess of the Protector." The tone, the weirdness of the turns, was very uncomfortable to hear.

Lin Baozhu looked up, but it was an old woman who had dealt with her, and she was dressed exquisitely, but she didn't know why she would make it difficult for herself. She remained silent, looking at the few people gathered around the old woman, and happened to meet the smug eyes of the mother and daughter of the Lin family who were next to the old woman.

Thinking that she was outside the palace gate, and she was now in the limelight, how many people were watching, so she ignored it. Na Cheng thought, she didn't want to cause trouble, but she couldn't stand the old woman's reluctance.

"Sure enough, it's an uneducated person, have you heard of the rumors in the capital? If you don't respect your mother, you don't respect your sister, you really don't know what to do. According to the old body, I am afraid that the child in your arms is also from the wrong way, otherwise how could you hide in the poor countryside to live? The old woman saw that Lin Baozhu didn't speak, but she was speechless or frightened. Thinking of the humiliation suffered by his daughter and granddaughter, he really hated Lin Baozhu who was outstandingly dressed in front of him. It was also because she was used to being complimented by the old lady and the old lady, and she lost her sense of proportion for a while, and sneered, "Who doesn't know that the full moon wine in the capital is a proud thing, if you don't have a weak heart, why do you want to go to the countryside?" ”

Lin Baozhu didn't think that the old woman's mouth was so vicious and hateful, and when she looked at Mrs. Lin's smug appearance and the expressions of several noble ladies watching the show, she was really disgusted in her heart. Sure enough, no matter what time it is, she doesn't like such a day of intrigue and trickery. But since people have bullied her, if she doesn't fight it back, it's not her character.

Immediately, she grabbed the big girl who wanted to rush out, and showed a gloomy and solemn expression like a man, and said coldly: "Heh, I don't have to make people laugh." The Lin family is really cheeky, first admit their relatives, and if they can't admit their relatives, they will stuff their daughters into our government's mansion, why do they really think that the smell of incense can enter the door of our government's mansion? At present, the old woman should be reasonable to look at, but she is also a fool if she doesn't want to open her mouth. You said that those rumors, since the Lin family wants to admit it, is it necessary to admit to the emperor the charge of bullying the emperor by resisting the decree and disrespecting the superiors and concealing the subordinates? Her gaze condensed, and she faintly swept over a few noble ladies next to the old woman, and only looked at a few people who took an inconspicuous step back, and dodged the distance from the Lin family.

The wives of the remaining royal clans looked thoughtful, and their eyes were obviously a little more solemn when they looked at Lin Baozhu. Originally, it was also hindered by her background, so that they stayed away, but they didn't want to triumph with the Lord Protector of the Kingdom one after another, so that Lin Baozhu also soared into the sky.

But even then, most people will think that she is just lucky, in fact, she should be a person who is not on the stage. It's just that right now, her demeanor and demeanor look like a mountain village woman?

"Besides, in terms of identity, I don't know what grade the old lady is? If you want to teach me the difference between dignity and inferiority, then I have to ask, do you know what rank I am? Just when she was speaking, Mama Liu on the side had already whispered to her what the identity of the other party was. And she saw that although the old lady was surrounded by people, there was no edict around her, and she thought that if she really talked about dignity, she couldn't call it noble.

Lin Baozhu usually doesn't like to watch people cook, especially when she opens her mouth and closes her mouth to say anything respectful, but if someone really offends her, she is not afraid.

"You" The old woman's face turned pale by Lin Baozhu's words, and she was angry, smashed the cane in her hand, and pointed at Lin Baozhu tremblingly and said, "It's really sharp and sharp."

Before he finished speaking, he saw a little eunuch running back from the side door. After a while, the Donghua Gate slowly opened, and two rows of attendants lined up, while the deacons and eunuchs spoke loudly, announcing that the wives had entered the palace.

As if what had just happened had never happened, everyone stood according to their ranks, followed by the maid and grandmother, and then quietly followed the deacon and eunuch into the palace. With the solemn palace wall being thrown behind, the group finally arrived at the West Palace.

At this time, all the palace concubines with enough grades had already gathered in the queen's Fengluan Palace, and with the entry of the wife, it was surrounded by beads and flowers. The palace is naturally magnificent, splendid, the palace of the mother of a country, the incense powder lingers, the incense is rich, but it is very gorgeous.

Under the guidance of the two rows of palace ladies, the group crossed their hands and lowered their heads slightly, and walked to the palace of the queen's Fengluan Palace. And Xia Xiaoyuan, the old lady of the Yue family, who had a heavy incense powder on their faces, could only line up almost at the end with their heads down.

Lin Baozhu has never entered the palace, and he was only taught by Mama Liu before, at most, he just practiced the palace etiquette. At the moment, he naturally didn't dare to be careless, held his breath and calmed down, and followed a few nobles of the clan to kneel down, and respectfully greeted him with the call.

"The queen's mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, the courtiers ask the mother to be safe, and I wish the mother a healthy body, a long life, and a healthy life."

As everyone's greetings fell, the deacons and eunuchs on the side began to shout and bow down.

At this time, Lin Baozhu raised her eyebrows, and the three kneeling and nine knocks taught by Mama Liu were really something, and she just thought that she could be called up just by saying hello.

After the ceremony, I could only hear the slightly majestic but gentle voice of the queen mother, "Get up and sit down, it is the emperor's grace to enter the palace for the banquet."

After an endorsement-like lecture, everyone kowtowed again. If it was an official tone before, then after taking a seat, you can see that a relative is estranged and close. The queen first chatted with the ladies of the clan one by one, and waited until no one was left behind to talk for a while, and then looked up at the courtiers below.

When his eyes fell on Lin Baozhu, he said with a smile: "Did the Duchess of the Protector bring her brother into the palace?" ”

Lin Baozhu's smile remained unchanged, and he didn't look panicked or flattered, but he said respectfully and thoughtfully: "Back to the queen's mother, the courtier brought her young son into the palace, and now she is waiting outside the palace with his grandmother." ”
