"If I please her now, will she let me go?"
Liu Yun's rhetorical question made Lin Qingge slightly stunned.
Liu Yun shrugged slightly and continued: "Prince Qi's behavior just now was very vague, but his intention of bringing me into his palace was still revealed. How can she tolerate others when she wants to climb up?"
Such a clear person.
She and Lin Qiuyue had sex before, which made Lin Qingge subconsciously feel that Liu Yun was definitely not a smart person.
Now that I think about it, maybe she just doesn't want to make random guesses about her friends.
Lin Qingge glanced at Liu Qing, who seemed to understand, opened the food box prepared on the carriage, stuffed a bunch of snacks in it, and then spoke slowly.
"Originally, I was worried that you would be seduced by his sweet words. Now it seems that you can see it more clearly than me."
"So what if we just can't see clearly?" Liu Yun smiled bitterly, "Marriage is a major matter, parents order a matchmaker, how can we resist?"
Lin Qingge opened her mouth to refute, but when she saw Liu Yun's luxurious clothes and the exquisite jewelry on her head, she swallowed all her words.
In this era, women themselves are subordinate to men. How can they have so many choices?
If you really leave home, you will probably die.
but……
She pursed her lips slightly and said softly: "You don't have to be so pessimistic. Madam Liu is not a confused person. She will definitely make proper arrangements for your destination. Besides, Madam Liu's love for you is unique in the capital. "
The sadness in Liu Yun's eyes seemed to be a little deeper: "I thought so too before, but after my mother's incident, I realized that I really can't see through it."
At the end of the sentence, she sighed heavily, her eyes full of helplessness.
…
When Lin Qiuyue was sent back to the Lin family's motorcade in disgrace, Mrs. Lin was so angry that she almost passed away.
"How did you escort the people back?"
"escort?"
Jin Yiwei sneered: "Mrs. Lin, you should teach your daughter more to speak. She dares to question His Majesty's order. She really doesn't know how to live or die."
As he spoke, he pushed Lin Qiuyue towards the Lin family's motorcade without any courtesy at all, then turned around and rode away without giving the Lin family any face.
Mrs. Lin's face turned green with anger, but she still arranged for someone to immediately bring water to Lin Qiuyue to wash herself, and gave her a set of clean clothes before asking.
"Qiuyue, what's going on?"
"Mom!" Lin Qiuyue's eyes turned red and she lay in Mrs. Lin's arms, "It's all Lin Qingge! She was the one who harmed me. Not only does Liu Yun misunderstand me, but my cousin doesn't like me either. What should I do?"
"It's her again!"
Mentioning Lin Qingge, Mrs. Lin's eyes flashed with obvious anger: "How dare she steal the limelight from you, the legitimate lady? Marrying a living dead, do you really think you can fly up a branch and become a phoenix? Qiuyue, just ignore it. She is the one you really have to care about when it comes to the night banquet at the palace."
…
After a day's journey, the convoy arrived at Jiucheng Palace, a palace specially built for autumn hunting before sunset.
Jiucheng Palace is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has a majestic atmosphere. It was the favorite of Emperor Zhou.
However, the palace area is limited, and not all accompanying officials can enter the palace.
As the prime minister of the dynasty, Lin Shuquan's family members were naturally able to live in the palace.
But they followed the little eunuch further and further away, and were finally taken to a remote courtyard. Mrs. Lin frowned.
"Is it a mistake? We didn't live here last year."
The young eunuch had a smile on his face and answered very politely: "Madam, which family lives in which courtyard is all arranged by Eunuch Han. How can I get involved? If you have any questions, you can go to Eunuch Han, but Qian Qian Don’t embarrass the little ones.”
After saying this, he bowed politely and turned around to finish.
Lin Qiuyue looked at the narrow buildings around her and frowned: "They are bullying us because they want dad to stay in the court, right? How dare they!"
On the surface, Lin Shuquan was assisting the prince in supervising the country, so he stayed in the capital.
But Mrs. Lin knew in her heart that Lin Shuquan had a rift between mother and daughter because of Xia Yuan's incident.
Later, something like this happened in Anjia Zhuangzi, and Emperor Zhou granted them a marriage, which made Lin Shuquan think that they were crazy.
So he didn't want to come from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't take care of them this time, just waiting for them to be exhausted.
Mrs. Lin comforted Lin Qiuyue and said, "It's only a few days, just bear with it and it will be fine. Besides, why do you have to worry about this? Let the servants clean up quickly, and you can prepare for the banquet tonight."
After the Prime Minister's servants went to pack their things, Lin Qiuyue immediately took out the clothes and jewelry she had prepared, thinking about stunning everyone that night.
Unlike her, Lin Qingge didn't plan to change clothes at all, but Mrs. Chu asked her to change into a royal blue dress.
The color is calm and elegant, which suits her status well and can support such a scene.
As dusk fell, the palace officials came with lanterns to invite officials and their families to the main hall for a night banquet.
There are hundreds of small tables in the main hall, and the same fruits and snacks are placed on the small tables.
It's just that the seats are carefully arranged, and the palace attendants who lead the way will lead people to their seats before leaving.
As soon as Lin Qingge appeared pushing Chu Nanfeng, many people looked at her, some with ridicule, sympathy, disgust... all kinds of looks could not affect her mood at all.
Not only her, Mrs. Chu walked very steadily on crutches, giving no chance to those who wanted to make fun of her.
There were many people in the main hall, but it was not noisy. Basically everyone sat in a polite manner, occasionally making small talk, but absolutely did not dare to act recklessly.
After everyone in the main hall was basically seated, Emperor Zhou and his concubines came in and sat down.
After everyone paid their respects, Emperor Zhou said with a smile: "My dear friends, there is no need to be formal. Today is said to be a palace banquet, but in fact it is a family banquet! It is a rare moment for our monarchs and ministers to relax together, so don't be formal."
"Thank you Lord for your grace!"
Everyone thanked him one after another, and there was a burst of laughter in the hall, but no one really took Emperor Zhou's words seriously.
Concubine An looked at Emperor Zhou with a smile: "Your Majesty is holding a family banquet today, so don't let the few people in the palace sing and dance. There is nothing new."
"Oh, what's your new idea?" Emperor Zhou looked at Concubine An with a smile.
"At the family banquet, all the children of the family come. It is naturally a time for them to sing and dance. Besides, each of the rich young men who have been carefully raised by your lords is not born to be charming and talented. Stunningly beautiful? If I have such an opportunity, I naturally want to see their performance. Your Majesty also loves and loves these juniors."
Emperor Zhou smiled and nodded: "What I love is right. I remember that your nephew An Heng is called the Wushuang Master. Not only is he a good-looking man, he is also a good flute player. Why don't we let him start the show first?"
