Chapter 381 The Master of the Phoenix (End) (1)
A bright yellow figure is equivalent to gold in a myriad of purples and reds, standing out from the crowd, showing wealth and honor.This should be the prince of the Zongyuan Kingdom.

Lin Jinrong was standing far away. Looking over, she could only see the color of the clothes, but couldn't see everyone's appearance clearly, so she turned her head and looked away.However, those noble sons and gentlemen discovered their group.

Someone recognized the person next to Mrs. Qi, waved a folding fan and approached Qi Rong's ear: "In your house?"

Qi Rong saw Lin Jinrong and nodded.

When the rest of the people heard this, except His Royal Highness, they all surrounded him and asked him.

Madam Qi was sitting in the sedan chair, so the girl walking beside the sedan chair should have been brought into the palace by Madam Qi for the purpose of the Empress Dowager.However, none of these young masters who had been in the capital for a long time had seen Lin Jinrong, and they all asked which girl this was from the Qi family's mansion, and why they hadn't.

Speaking of which, this group of young masters are the companions of His Highness the Crown Prince, who accompanied His Highness, went to exercise early in the morning, and had to accompany His Highness to study and do homework when they came back.So, each one of them wanted to take a break on the way to class, and chewed their tongues when they caught the topic of Qi's mansion on the way.The prince didn't stop everyone from talking when he saw it, he just narrowed his eyes slightly.

Qi Rong's words and deeds were already very cautious in the Qi residence, and even more so in the palace.Who made him the youngest among the second master's children, and his mother was of low status.To put it bluntly, he was used to being bullied since he was a child. His brothers, sisters and even his nephews were all watching him, trying to find an opportunity to drive him out of Qi's residence at any time.

It's a pity that he himself is very competitive. Maybe he is not as good as his brothers in other aspects of background, but he is very good at studying. Before he was eight years old, he was appointed as the prince's accompanying student, and he has accompanied the prince to study until now.If it weren't for his bad background, it would be more than enough to be promoted to be an important minister next to the prince.Even so, the prince never disliked him, and occasionally asked him to help with homework.

Qi Rong looked at the prince who was not far away, and seeing the squinted eyes of the prince seemed to be as curious as everyone else, and then replied: "It's my fourth sister's daughter, she just returned to her mother's house from another place."

Everyone may have heard some rumors about the Qi Mansion before, so they just took this opportunity to ask clearly: "Which girl is it from the Lin Mansion? The big girl?"

Lin Jinqing was said to be as beautiful as a flower. Everyone looked at it from a distance. Although they couldn't see Lin Jinrong's face clearly, Lin Jinrong's Pingting figure should be a beautiful woman from a distance.

From this, everyone guessed that it was Lin Jinqing and not Lin Jinrong, because Madam Qi couldn't possibly bring a fool into the palace.

Qi Rong dared not lie in front of her master, and said, "It's the second girl."

In an instant, this answer not only didn't make everyone depressed, it made everyone scrambled to stretch their necks and stand on their toes, trying to see clearly what the legendary fool looked like.

Even Prince Li Jing'an couldn't escape the curiosity in his heart.

Until the little eunuch ran over and said that the prince's teacher urged him in class.Li Jing'an changed his mind, thinking that he was just a fool, it would not be easy to think about it, and then he would find an excuse to go to the Empress Dowager's place to find out, and waved to the people below: "It's time to go to class."

All the people turned their heads back, followed the prince and left in fear.

Lin Jinrong followed Mrs. Qi's sedan chair to Yongning Palace, the palace where the Empress Dowager lived.

All the servants of Qi's mansion were waiting outside.An aunt from the palace came out, took the old lady and Lin Jinrong across the threshold, and said to old lady Qi on the way: "What happened the day before yesterday has shocked the Empress Dowager to this day, and the Empress Dowager ordered someone to copy scriptures."

I heard that something bad happened in the palace. Specifically, it was Lin Jinqing who told Lin Jinrong after inquiring about it from Mrs. Qi.Lin Jinrong remembered that there was a maid in the palace who committed suicide by jumping into a well, and it happened to be the maid of the Empress Dowager.

Someone died in his own palace, and he was a familiar one. I am afraid that the Empress Dowager is not frightened, but suspicious.Lin Jinrong thought to herself.

Entering the Flower Hall inside, the Empress Dowager was sitting on a yellow rosewood chair in the middle, twisting a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, closing her eyes, and waited for her aunt to come in and said: "People from the Qi family are here." The Empress Dowager opened her eyes .

Lin Jinrong only saw that this old lady known as the empress dowager was luxurious and graceful, and the clothes she wore on her body and on her head must be more than ten times more luxurious than the old lady of the Qi family.The gold hairpin and jade hairpin on her head were shining brightly, almost blinding Lin Jinrong's eyes.Lin Jinrong lowered her eyebrows, followed the old lady of the Qi family to kneel down and salute.

"Get up." The Empress Dowager said with a slightly serious face.

Lin Jinrong stood up and stood aside.The Empress Dowager smiled when she saw the palace flower on her head: "This child is quite beautiful."

It means that Lin Jinrong gave the empress dowager a good impression at first sight.

The old lady of the Qi family bowed and answered: "The milk smells dry, and I can't read a few words. It's incomparable with her sisters in her family."

"I heard that she has an older sister. When will you bring her into the palace and show me."

Maybe the first impression of Lin Jinrong was pretty good, the Empress Dowager Ai Wu and Wu wanted to see Lin Jinqing.

Of course, the old lady of the Qi family happily answered Zunzhi.With the empress dowager's liking, it shouldn't be difficult for Lin Jinqing to find a good husband's family.

Next, the empress dowager called Lin Jinrong over and asked a few words, all she asked was how old is this year, is it true or not that your great-grandmother said you don't know a few words, write a word for Aijia to see.

Someone really handed in the pen and ink, so Lin Jinrong had no choice but to make a fool of herself on the spot, and wrote her boudoir name in a proper manner.

The empress dowager laughed when she saw it: "I think this child's handwriting is quite good, how could he say it badly?"

To be honest, Lin Jinrong has never learned brush calligraphy in modern times. It is strange to be able to write flamboyant characters within a few days of learning to write in ancient times.The empress dowager said it well, it was her handwriting that was crooked like a tadpole.Everyone watching from the side knew that the Empress Dowager was telling the truth. The Empress Dowager was praising Lin Jinrong's stupidity. It seemed that Lin Jinrong was really a silly girl, which made the Empress Dowager very relieved.

With this, it was a foregone conclusion that Lin Jinrong would stay in the palace.

The empress dowager gave their grandparents and grandchildren the best Tibetan tea and gave them a seat.Someone handed the copied scriptures up to the Empress Dowager for review, and the Empress Dowager held the scroll in her hand and looked at it with puzzled brows.

The person who copied the book immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Waiting for the servant to copy it again."

"Forget it. You are all tired all night, go find something to eat." The empress dowager put down the scroll in her hand.

No one dared to move or speak.

Only then did Lin Jinrong know that these people have been copying scriptures since last night, maybe more than that, since the maid who jumped into the well died, and they may not have slept for days and nights, and their eyes are full of red silk.

Thinking that the current scene of these people might be his future, Lin Jinrong really had to beat his heart.

"Jinrong come and tell Aijia a joke." The Empress Dowager said while sipping tea.
