Outside Wangshu Palace, two little girls walked toward the imperial guards at the door in a panic.
"We are lost, can you take us to Fengqi Palace?"
The Imperial Guard said solemnly: "Which palace are you from? You are not allowed to wander around here, so leave quickly."
"But we don't know the way..."
"Leave quickly, or you won't blame us for being rude."
Su'e heard the noise at the door and came out and asked:
"What's the noise about? Miss Lin? Why are you here?"
Lin Jinyan saluted and said, "We were chased by the little princess and got lost... I wonder if you could trouble Sister Su'e to send us out?"
Su'e looked at the two of them, looking at the dirt on their shoes:
"Wait here, I'll go in and report to the queen, and then I'll come out to see you off."
After a while, Su'e came out again:
"Your Majesty is taking a nap. Come in and have a glass of water to rest. I will take you back when your Majesty wakes up."
After Lin Jinyan thanked her, she followed Su'e into Wangshu Palace.
As soon as he entered the inner room, before he could salute, a little dumpling rushed over with a smile:
"Sister! Are you here to play with me?"
Lin Jinyan smiled and talked to the little prince, saluted them both and said with a smile:
"The little princess chased me and got lost again, harassing the Jade Concubine."
Concubine Jade: "Someone is playing with the little prince, so don't hang around here and go give Miss Lin a cup of tea."
After the palace maid finished serving tea, Concubine Yu asked Su'e to guard the door, and then she looked directly at Lin Jinyan:
"Ms. Lin, thank you for sending the little prince back to the Queen Mother's birthday party last time. Do you have something to do here today?"
Lin Jinyan looked at the cold and stunning beauty in front of her. She had a fairy-like jade-like complexion and a refined temperament like an orchid in an empty valley. There was a hint of numb sadness between her eyebrows. She spoke as straightforwardly as ever, as if she didn't want to waste time talking to anyone. .
"The hosta that holds up your hair is so beautiful. Can I take a look at it?"
Seeing that Lin Jinyan did not answer the question, Concubine Yu was stunned for a moment, and then nodded. Just when she was about to raise her hand to take off the hairpin, Lin Jinyan stepped forward and said with a smile:
"I want to buy it for my aunt. Just take a look at it. Your Majesty doesn't have to mess up your hair."
Lin Jinyan stood next to Concubine Yu, blocking Su'e's sight with her body, and seemed to be just looking at the hairpin.
Concubine Yu's expression changed again and again, and her breathing became erratic.
Lin Jinyan looked at it for a while and said with a smile: "This hairpin is really beautiful, I wonder where you bought it from?"
Concubine Yu forced herself to calm down and softened her expression: "I don't know where I got the things in the palace."
The little prince: "Mother, do you like this hairpin? If you don't like it very much, can you give it to my sister?"
Concubine Jade looked at Lin Jinyan with burning eyes: "Miss Lin likes this hairpin. As a courtesy, I can give it to you."
Lin Jinyan and Concubine Yu looked at each other: "Your Majesty, you're too polite. I can't accept your reward for nothing. I didn't bring anything with me when I entered the palace. I have a refreshing medicine bottle here. You can smell it or take one pill when you feel down. It’s most refreshing, if you don’t mind it, you can keep it for refreshing purposes.”
Concubine Jade: "Does it really work?"
Lin Jinyan took the porcelain bottle handed over by Bai Zhi, held it up with both hands and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, you can give it a try."
Concubine Yu looked at the porcelain bottle with cautious eyes, but did not reach out to take it:
"Is this medicine really so miraculous? Has Miss Lin ever used it? Is it bitter?"
Lin Jinyan opened the porcelain bottle, poured out a pill, and swallowed it in front of Concubine Yu:
"Don't worry, Madam. Although it tastes like medicine, it is not bitter in the mouth. You see, I dare to swallow it without drinking water."
