The prince's side followed the second daughter of the Lin family, Lin Ruoyan.

Interestingly, at the end, there is also a concubine who is gorgeously dressed and outstanding, and does not lose to everyone present, Lin Kite.

She didn't seem to care that she was behind the prince, her eyebrows and eyes always had a gentle and gentle smile, she walked in small steps very well-behaved, and raised her eyes to look at the sides from time to time, when she saw Lin Yanxi, she was stunned for a moment, revealing a decent smile.

"The Queen Mother."

"I've seen the Queen."

Threesome salute.

The queen bowed her head, her eyes fell on the last person, and asked, "Which girl is this?"

The prince slowly spoke, "This is the concubine of the Lin family, Lin Kite."

As soon as the word concubine came out, the eyes of the people present changed, and the concubine participated in the queen's palace banquet, which was an unprecedented thing.

The queen said bluntly: "The daughter of the Lin family has all kinds of good means, and a concubine who is not among the invitations has also come to participate in the flower viewing banquet in the palace?"

Every word and deed of the three of them will be attributed to the Taifu Mansion.

Lin Yanxi didn't speak, and quietly watched how Lin Kite should respond.

Lin Kite hung her head and knelt on the ground.

Without waiting for her to respond, Lin Ruoyan stepped forward and saluted first: "Back to the queen's mother, my eldest sister loves flowers and plants, and after listening to the flower viewing banquet in the palace, she longed for it, so the courtiers went to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to bring my sister with her."

The queen looked at the little girl in front of her, this is Lin Ruoyan, the second daughter of the Taifu Mansion?

It's completely different from her two sisters.,It's a heartless girl.。

The queen knew in her heart that after the emperor gave Lin Yanxi a marriage, the prince set his eyes on this little girl, so she naturally had to give a little thin face.

"Alright, give me a seat, let's take a seat."

Lin Kite, who had been standing at the end, saluted and said, "Thank you for the queen's grace, the courtiers know that their status is low, and it is unreasonable to participate in the palace banquet, so the courtiers have prepared a gift for the queen."

As she spoke, the maid next to her brought a pot of flowers and plants.

"This is the water plant, the water plant flower of the Western Regions. It is carefully maintained by the courtiers, and the little heart is not respectful, and I hope that the mother will accept it with a smile."

The pink petals of the water flare are blooming delicately, and several branches are clustered together in a glass bottle.

The queen has been in the harem for many years, and she has never seen a woman with any kind of means, so she can only glance at it and say: "The flowers are well raised, and they are suitable for entering the Siyuan Division to wait, but unfortunately the selection of palace maids in the palace is also very strict, and not everyone can enter."

"Compared to these delicate flowers, this palace still loves the luxurious peony more, okay, let's take a seat."

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of scattered laughter.

Obviously, the queen doesn't eat this set.

This pot of water flan was obtained by Lin Yuan at a great price, but he didn't expect it to be unpleasant, and he was humiliated.

Be a palace maid?

Then she has to be a princess to show everyone.

Lin Yuan smiled and saluted, "The courtier is reckless."

After that, he followed Lin Ruoyan to sit down on the seat and retreated.

They happened to sit opposite Lin Yanxi, and she told her thousands of times not to let Ruoyan take care of the prince again, but she still followed him into the palace and brought Lin Kite.

Shen Muzhou looked at her little face tense and unhappy, followed her line of sight, and saw Lin Ruoyan pouring wine for the prince.

"It seems that this sister of yours likes the prince very much." He whispered in her ear in a deep voice.

The moment Lin Ruoyan's eyes touched Lin Yanxi's sight, she quickly lowered her head and looked away, not daring to look at her sister.

Lin Yanxi was about to get up from her seat, but Shen Muzhou grabbed her wrist and said, "If you go over now, it will only worsen the relationship between your sister and you."

"So what should I do?"

Shen Muzhou just patted the back of her hand and said, "Don't worry, let your sister find out about the relationship between the prince and Lin Yuan by herself, she will naturally give up this relationship."

Seeing that Lin Yanxi was still worried, he said, "I

I'll help you."

She looked up, entangled with his gaze, his face was always expressionless, but it always eased her boreary mood.

He said he would help her, and the matter would definitely be resolved.

I don't know when she trusted him like this.

This sense of trust, like in her previous life, she believed that the secret guard who followed her would protect her at all costs.

For a long time, the tips of her ears were a little red, then she staggered her gaze and nodded.

The queen said, "The flower viewing banquet is held once a year, and it is held at the most beautiful time of flowering, just like everyone who came here today, it is a good year like flowers, everyone can order at will, and there is no need to be restrained."

After saying this, everyone raised their glasses and said, "Queen Xie."

Once that's done, you can start eating.

During this period, Shen Muzhou kept putting vegetables in Lin Yanxi's bowl, and the steamed pigeon was brought up, and he used a small dagger to cut off the wings and pigeon legs and put them on Lin Yanxi's plate.

She's just going to eat.

"You can eat it too." She also sandwiched a small piece of pork ribs and put it on Shen Muzhou's plate.

He was stunned for a moment and said, "Okay."

He stared at the ribs on his plate and smiled.

The tip of the chopsticks gently picked up the ribs, bit them in his mouth, and tasted them carefully, seeing him eat Lin Yanxi ignored him, and continued to eat the pigeon meat on his plate, while she lowered her eyes, Shen Muzhou spit out the piece of pork ribs in her mouth, and then hid it.

She turned to him and asked, "Is it delicious?"

He laughed, "It's delicious."

The little girl was encouraged, and hurriedly took another one to him and said, "Then you can eat more."

He didn't look out of the ordinary, and he always had a smile on his face, "Okay."

In fact, because of the aggravation of the cold disease, he no longer had much appetite to eat, and he barely ate a few bites yesterday, and vomited it all again.

Lin Yanxi is not very good at taking care of people, so she didn't notice Shen Muzhou's abnormality.

On the contrary, she needs to be taken care of everywhere outside, when she drinks the soup, she lowers her head slightly, and drinks slowly with a soup spoon, one sip after another, extremely well-behaved.

Her hair leaked down her shoulders and landed on the edge of the soup bowl, Shen Muzhou helped her pull the falling hair, patiently watched her drink the soup, and ignored the queen and other women saying some unintelligible words.

While flattering and currying favor with the queen, Luo Jingxin secretly went to Lin Yanxi's side to look, and a trace of jealousy flowed from the end of his eyes, but he did not show it.

The prince didn't talk to Lin Yuan much during the whole process, didn't even look at her more, and focused on Lin Ruoyan, the two didn't know what they were talking about, and they talked happily.

Lin Yuan sat delicately at the end of the seat, with a smile on her face, not knowing what she was thinking.

Only Lin Yanxi and Luo Wanwan really ate all the delicious dishes at the banquet, and the two of them also made eye contact with each other about which dish was delicious, ignoring the undercurrents at this banquet.

---

The banquet was over, the queen gave a few words, and then returned to the dormitory with the support of the palace maids.

Lin Yanxi, Luo Wanwan, Lin Ruoyan, the three of them got together and said something, laughing from time to time, very happy.

Shen Muzhou held the stove in her hand, quietly watching the sun sprinkle on her body, outlining a good-looking gold edge, the girl's eyes were smart, her complexion was better than snow, and the corners of her mouth were rippling with a wanton smile.

It makes people feel happy when they see it, just like ice and snow melting.

He wanted to look at it for a while, and engraved the way she laughed in his heart.

"The Nine Princes." Luo Jingxin walked in front of Shen Muzhou and saluted.

She asked, "Can you find a quiet place to talk?"

Shen Muzhou's gaze slowly retracted and said, "If there's anything to say, let's say it here."

Luo Jingxin smiled, he didn't mind his indifference, and when he leaned close to his ear, he immediately dodged and took half a step back.

She leaned in again and whispered, "It's a border city."

Shen Muzhou paused, and his body was over

Stiffly paused and didn't dodge anymore, Jing Xin's lips were close to his ear, and he looked left and right, covering his big cold hand.

Jing Xin said, "It's inconvenient here in the end, so the prince should go to a quiet place with me."

Shen Muzhou subconsciously looked at Lin Yanxi, the little girl's round apricot eyes, black and white, staring at them.

When she touched the light of her eyes, Shen Muzhou was stunned, and the little girl staggered her gaze in the next moment, not caring about him at all, and continued to laugh with Luo Wanwan and them.

Shen Muzhou followed Luo Jingxin to the back of a quiet rockery.

Luo Jingxin said, "The remnants of your mother's side have all retreated safely to the border city."

Shen Muzhou's mother is the princess of the Ning Yu clan, Mo Jiao.

When the current emperor Shen Zesheng was still the crown prince, he led his troops to attack and surrender the Ning Yu clan.

Shen Zesheng confronted Mo Jiao on the battlefield, obviously she was such a delicate and beautiful woman, she should be kept in captivity in the back house, but Mo Jiao led the soldiers of the Ning Yu clan and would rather die than surrender.

In the last battle, Shen Zesheng still won, and the Ning Yu clan suffered heavy casualties.

He exchanged the truce for Mo Jiao, the princess of the Ning Yu clan, to enter the palace as a concubine.

I thought that Mo Jiao would be reluctant to do this, after all, she was so stubborn, but what she didn't expect was that she agreed.

Her knowledge is incomparable to that of harem women, and she understands Shen Zesheng very well, since she entered the palace, Shen Zesheng has been spoiling her for several years, and has snubbed everyone in the harem.

But the Ning Yu clan reversed.

Mo Jiao betrayed the emperor, he couldn't accept the betrayal of his beloved, he wanted her to hurt as much as himself, so he forced Shen Muzhou to kill her mother with his own hands.

Only if Shen Muzhou killed his mother with his own hands, the rest of the Ning Yu clan could survive.

Luo Jingxin continued, "The border city is the territory controlled by the Anchang Palace, you can rest assured that the Ning Yu clan is safe."

Shen Muzhou bowed, "Thank you."

Luo Jingxin couldn't control himself anymore and hugged him and asked, "You know, what I want is never thank you."

Shen Muzhou stiffened, didn't push her away, only said coldly, "Didn't I promise you what you wanted?"

After speaking, he covered his mouth with a handkerchief with his back to Luo Jingxin, coughed violently a few times, and when the handkerchief was taken off, it was full of black blood, and he hid the handkerchief in his sleeve quietly.

Luo Jingxin didn't see it, but hugged him tighter, "The position of princess is not what I want, what I want is your heart, so that you can like me."

Shen Muzhou didn't speak, she raised her eyes to look at him and asked cautiously, "Can you?"

His expression was pale, his face was pale, and the hand stove was always clenched in his palm, "Nothing else, I'll go first."

Luo Jingxin asked unwillingly, "Do you like Lin Yanxi? Are you serious?"

"What about Zhaozhao?"

Others don't know, but she grew up with Shen Muzhou, and Shen Muzhou is chanting this name every time he is delirious.

Lin Yanxi saw that Shen Muzhou left quietly with Luo Jingxin, she was also a little absent-minded, and told Lin Ruoyan again, "Be careful of the prince" and something like that, and then Lin Ruoyan and Lin Yuan went out of the palace together.

She waited for a while to see if Shen Muzhou would come, so she followed the direction of Shen Muzhou to find it along the road.

Behind a rockery, she heard Luo Jingxin crying and asked Shen Muzhou if she liked Lin Yanxi.

She heard her name and crept over to find them behind a rockery, and she hid on the other side of the rockery, waiting for his answer.
