The two black treasures of Tiangui's escaped concubine

Chapter 380 Entering the Palace (2)
Yingge told her that in the whole house, Tinghai Pavilion, which belongs to the old lady, is the best and most comfortable, warm in winter and cool in summer, it seems that this is true.

However, she, Lin Jinrong, would rather live in a kennel than live in the old lady's place and be tricked by the old lady.

Lin Jinqing had already prepared food for her younger sister, some snacks made in the Qi family kitchen for the ladies in the afternoon.She was not willing to eat and left it to Lin Jinrong.

Because she wanted to pretend to be a fool, Lin Jinrong didn't dare not to eat what Lin Jinqing gave her, so she took a piece of glutinous rice cake and chewed it slowly in her mouth.

Stretching out her hand to touch her sister's head, a tear inadvertently slipped down from the corner of Lin Jinqing's eyes.

The mother-in-law who was following Lin Jinqing hurriedly said, "Eldest girl, you can't be willing to cry. The second girl is about to make a fortune. It's wrong for the eldest girl to cry."

"What is so prosperous? Who doesn't know that once you enter the palace gate, it's as deep as the sea. Inside the palace, there are many wolves, tigers and leopards. My younger sister is a fool. If I go inside, I won't be left with a bone." Lin Jinqing said, I couldn't help wiping my tears with a handkerchief.

Everyone only knows that Lin Jinqing is a beautiful girl who is well-educated and reasonable, but they don't know that Lin Jinqing, as the concubine daughter of the Lin family, has seen a lot of things, and usually has to help the Qi family make decisions, and knows how harsh this world is to her daughter's family.It is said that it is relying on the natal family, but if the natal family has plans of its own, it cannot be counted on.What's more, there is a sky beyond this sky, no matter how great an official is, a courtier, a commoner, or an official, it still depends on the meaning of the person on the throne.

Seeing that Lin Jinrong was about to be sent to the palace, I don't know what the Queen Mother wanted. The more Lin Jinqing thought about it, the more she agreed with Qi. I'm afraid that Lin Jinrong's entry into the palace this time would be a disaster.But my younger sister is a fool, how to teach my younger sister to keep herself safe in the palace, Lin Jinqing has no idea, it should be said that even if the person entering the palace were her, she still couldn't be [-]% sure that she would be able to keep herself safe.

Lin Jinqing couldn't help losing her temper and scolding the dissuading mother-in-law. After the anger came out, she vented some grievances in her heart, and she felt better.

Lin Jinrong, who was eating glutinous rice cakes, waited for her to lose her temper, took out something from her cuff, and stuffed it into Lin Jinqing's palm.

Lin Jinqing looked down and saw that her younger sister had stuffed a note into her hand, and was about to take it out to read, but was held down by Lin Jinrong.

"Sister, you and mother take care of yourself." Lin Jinrong bit the glutinous rice cake, and his words were not very clear, in line with the appearance of a fool. Yingge and mother-in-law who were listening next to her didn't notice what she stuffed into Lin Jinqing's hand. .

Lin Jinrong felt the back of her hand was firmly squeezed, and her sister's grip was so strong that Lin Jinqing was startled, thinking: When did her idiot sister shake her hand so hard, did she not?

A flash of surprise flashed in Lin Jinqing's mind.Lin Jinqing is a smart person, thinking that she often heard people say that her sister seems to have changed a lot recently, maybe things are not as bad as she and Qi thought.

"Xiao Rong herself pays attention to her health, do you know?" Lin Jinqing regained her usual mood of calmly dealing with things, and told Lin Jinrong that if something happened in the palace, if she wanted to ask someone to bring a message, she could give some money to the father-in-law in the palace. Let it help.Then, he ordered the people below to take the money brought from Lin's mansion, and allocated more than half of it to Lin Jinrong when he entered the palace when necessary.

Thinking that the money might be Lin Jinqing's future dowry, Lin Jinrong refused to accept it, and said: "If I want money, I can ask my grandma. The money is troublesome. My sister doesn't know, but the queen mother gave me a palace flower."

The implication is that she can bribe the father-in-law in the palace with the things the queen mother rewards.

Seeing that she was more thoughtful than herself, Lin Jinqing was a little surprised, thinking: Could it be that she has a really good brain.

After eating the glutinous rice cake, Lin Jinrong stretched out his hand to bake a piece of corn like a greedy child, and then asked Yingge to take him back.Because of her silly actions and inconsistent and incoherent speech, the others, except Lin Jinqing, did not think that she was no longer that fool.

At night, after the lights were turned off, Lin Jinqing slept on the bed and covered her with a quilt before she dared to open the ball of paper in her hand to see what Lin Jinrong had written for her.I saw that it was written in a neat line of calligraphy on the top: don't read.

The two words are beautifully written, not at all like those written by a fool.

Lin Jinqing was stunned, and then stuck the note on her chest, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, it turned out that her younger sister was just pretending to be stupid.

It's just when my younger sister will be well, and, moreover, my younger sister is going to enter the palace now, and if she is not stupid, she will not be able to stay alone in the palace. Thinking of this, Lin Jinqing was worried again.

But she understood what Lin Jinrong meant, and with their abilities, there was actually no way to do anything for Lin Jinrong who entered the palace, and she might even implicate Lin Jinrong who was in the palace.What Lin Jinrong wanted her to do was to often go to Qi Shi's place to sit around and dissuade Qi Shi from thinking about what she wanted to do.

Traveling to ancient times, it seems like a foreigner, whether you can enter the palace or not is actually the same.The night before Lin Jinrong entered the palace, she lay on the couch and slept like a dead pig.

The nanny who came to visit her went back to the old lady of the Qi family's house, and said to the old lady: "The second girl has gone to dream about Duke Zhou. The slave girl sees that the second girl is sleeping soundly, and I am afraid that she will not be able to wake up."

The grandma of the Qi family was taken aback after hearing this, and then laughed loudly: "This child is good."

Several servants who have been with the old lady of the Qi family for a long time don't know why the old lady brought a fool into the palace.

The old lady of the Qi family said: "In fact, there is a lack of a fool in the palace. The empress dowager has heard about Jinrong for a long time. On the one hand, she pities the child's birth defects, and on the other hand, she is upset by those intrigues in the palace. It's hard to find someone who can talk to you intimately. So I begged Jinrong to accompany her for a while. My little granddaughter is thinking too much. What can the Empress Dowager do with a fool."

A few subordinates obediently said yes.

The old lady sipped tea, sat quietly for a while, and said to the nurse beside her, "Find some beautiful bracelets, hairpins, and beads in my box, and you want to dress up the child, so as not to say that our family treats this child well." The child is harsh. If the things I look for look old, go to Hui Er's wife to pick them up, I know she has a lot of treasures at the bottom of the box."

The old nanny walked away.

In fact, Lin Jinrong's clothes are not bad, because Qi Shi and Lin Jinqing have always loved her.Just to show that she has never treated Lin Jinrong harshly, the old lady felt that she should dress up this child to be more beautiful than any other daughter in the family, so that she would not be gossiped after entering the palace.

I don't know if this is a blessing or a disaster for Lin Jinrong.The girls in Qi's mansion, after they all knew that she was going to the palace, sent all the things they liked to Lin Jinrong's room, and none of them were jealous.Everyone thought, maybe this is a funeral for Lin Jinrong.

Every girl in the capital knows what it means to enter the palace.

Lin Jinrong slept well last night, woke up in the morning full of energy, was served by Yingge to wash her face, rinsed her mouth with tea, stretched out her hands, and asked Yingge to put on her new clothes.

Then take a pair of gold inlaid jade bracelets given by the old lady, and wear them on both wrists.In addition to wearing the palace flowers given by the empress dowager, gold hairpins and silver ornaments on the head, there are also a bunch of them.Lin Jinrong even sighed deeply. Could it be that he became an upstart overnight.

The old lady was already waiting at the door early.Lin Jinrong was helped out of the gate of the mansion.At the door, according to the old lady's instructions, no one else is needed to deliver it, and don't turn a small matter into a big one.If a fool enters the palace and is overheard by outsiders, it will be bad for the Qi family and the empress dowager's reputation.

All the arrangements are a bit sneaky.

Two big green carriages stopped at the door.Lin Jinrong stepped on the footstool to get into the car.An old lady was sitting in the car in front.Taking advantage of the fog in the early morning, the two cars headed towards the palace.

Zongyuan's land is small, and the repairs of the palace are patchwork.Lin Jinrong was not very interested in the outside environment.Knowing that she entered the palace, with her lack of skill, it was pure wishful thinking to think of it.However, when the carriage enters the palace gate, those who ride in the carriage must get off and walk on foot.

The empress dowager sympathized with the old lady of the Qi family, and asked someone to lift the palace sedan chair to carry the old lady at the door early in the morning.Lin Jinrong didn't have this preferential treatment, so she could only walk with those maids and women, beside the palace sedan chair.

There is an advantage to going this way.She saw clearly where she passed along the road and who she met.

I saw that walking all the way, before arriving at the palace where the Empress Dowager lived, on the way, I could keep meeting some empresses from the harem.It is said that the harem of Emperor Zongyuan did not have three thousand, but several hundred.Empress, imperial concubine, talent, a bunch of them.Lin Jinrong couldn't even recognize them, and couldn't remember them all.However, I know that these walking harem beauties encountered on the road are generally of low status.The tall ones are said to be sitting in the Empress Dowager's palace or at the Empress Dowager's place to pay their respects.

After walking about two-thirds of the way, I heard the eunuch in the palace say that this is going to pass the prince's palace, and some voices came from not far away.

The sound came from far to near, passing by the spacious square in front of the Prince's Palace.It happened that Lin Jinrong and the others were going to walk to other places along the edge of the square. Lin Jinrong only needed to look around, and saw a group of nobles flying freely, neither in a car nor on a horse, walking in twos and threes, frolicking, and walking through the middle of the square.

According to Lin Jinrong's visual estimation, the number of people was at least a dozen.

More than a dozen young and handsome guys gathered together, looking really seductive.
