Chapter 258 Mid-Autumn Banquet

In front of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Lin Qingqian helped the old lady out, and immediately saw the slightly haggard Lin Qingrou.

Originally thought that Lin Qingrou would definitely give herself a hard look, but unexpectedly, Lin Qingrou yelled with a low eyebrow, "Grandmother, third sister."

Lin Qingqian thought to herself, she must have learned a lesson a few days ago and learned to be good for the time being.

The old lady was unmoved, she glanced at Lin Qingqian, and said calmly: "After entering the palace, be careful with your words and deeds, and don't cause any more trouble!"

"Yes, grandma, Qing Rou knows."

Only then did the old lady look back, hold Lin Qingqian's hand, and said softly: "Let's go, take a carriage with grandma."

"Yes, grandmother."

The old lady and Lin Qingqian got into the carriage. Although Lin Qingrou didn't show anything on her face, her hands hidden in her sleeves were clenched into fists, and her nails were deeply buried in the soft flesh of her palm.

The carriage drove slowly towards the palace.

In the carriage, the old lady suddenly remembered the food box that Lin Qingqian asked Chun Xia to carry, and asked casually, "What did you ask the maid to bring the food box for?"

Lin Qingqian said calmly, "I made some mooncakes with flower fillings two days ago. Yingxue should like them. I think she will also enter the palace today. When I see her later, I will give them to her."

The old lady nodded in satisfaction, "I should give some to Ms. Su, thanks to her painstaking efforts to teach you to be popular."

Lin Qing smiled and said nothing.

Only she knows who to bring the mooncakes to.

The carriage drove for about half an hour and stopped at the North Palace Gate of the Imperial Palace.

Lin Qingqian got out of the car first, reached out to help the old lady down, and was about to say something when she heard a familiar voice behind her.

"Qingqian, you are finally here. I specially waited for you at the palace gate and wanted to go in with you."

Lin Qingqian turned her head and saw that Su Yingxue was wearing a light purple dress, smiling sweetly, gentle and generous, walking towards her gracefully.

"Yingxue, have you been waiting for me for a long time?"

"I just arrived too."

Su Yingxue blessed the old lady, "Old lady Lin."

The old lady smiled and nodded: "Miss Su."

After greeting each other, the old lady smiled and said: "You two should follow behind and enter the palace together. You have a good relationship and should have a lot to say. It just so happens that Mrs. Li is in front, so I will go up and say a few words to her." .”

"Okay, grandma."

Su Yingxue and Lin Qingqian hugged Fu, turned sideways to let the old lady walk in front, they looked at each other, and followed behind from a distance.

Su Yingxue whispered: "Qingqian, I came early, I just went to Nangong Gate, Chang Geng and Shen Fei are no longer on duty at Nangong Gate."

Lin Qingqian frowned slightly upon hearing this, "Brother Chang Geng is not on duty at Nangong Gate?"

"Don't worry, but I found out that Shen Fei and the others are on duty in the inner hall today, maybe we can see them later, pay more attention to the soldiers on duty along the way."

Only then did Lin Qingqian secretly heave a sigh of relief.

If you don't know where Gu Changgeng and others are on duty, the palace is so big, it is not an easy task to find someone in it.

The two were talking, and it didn't take long before they arrived at the palace where the Mid-Autumn Banquet was held, the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Lin Qingqian and Su Yingxue stood outside the gate of the hall. Many ministers and their families had already been seated in the hall. Lin Langtian had already arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and beside him was the dog-like Lin Qingyuan, talking with several court officials.

Lin Qingqian saw that Lin Qingwu was also there, talking to several princesses and princesses. Qin Zihao was dressed in a dark yellow python robe, with a cold expression and a hint of arrogance, and he was talking to the second prince Qin Ziyan who was opposite him.

Lin Qingqian was not in a hurry to go in, and tugged on Su Yingxue's sleeve, the two of them understood, and looked at the soldiers of the imperial army on duty outside pretending to be inadvertent.

The two hadn't found Gu Changgeng yet, so Shen Fei saw them first.

He waved to the two excitedly, and shouted softly, "Qingqian! Yingxue, I'm here!"

Lin Qingqian and Su Yingxue walked over.

"Shen Shizi, I thought you would return to Pingyanghou's mansion in Zhongqiu, but I never thought that you were still on duty in the palace."

Shen Fei waved his hand, sighed, and said: "Qingqian, it's not that you don't know, once I go back, my father will make my ears callous, so I won't go back."

Su Yingxue jokingly said: "When Master Hou comes, be careful that he won't get angry, and come directly to teach you a lesson in public."

"No way, my father is more face-saving than me. He doesn't want to talk about my entry into the palace as a school lieutenant, let alone come and teach me in public."

Lin Qingqian looked around from the corner of her eye, and asked, "Where's Brother Chang Geng? Why don't you see him?"

"Chang Geng is on the far right of the palace, look, where is he?"

Lin Qingqian looked sideways, and as expected, Gu Changgeng, who had a slender figure and well-defined cheeks, could be seen at a glance among a row of straight Imperial Guard soldiers.

The eyes of the two met in the air.

Lin Qingqian was about to go there, but Shen Fei hurriedly said: "Don't go there, today's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is no small matter, if you see Chang Geng on duty, it's not good to be distracted from talking with others, after the Mid-Autumn Festival is over, we just change shifts, Go and find him again."

Lin Qingqian had no choice but to stop, took the food box from Chunxia's hand, pointed in Gu Changgeng's direction, and mouthed: "I made mooncakes myself."

Seeing Gu Changgeng nod his head slightly, Lin Qingqian smiled slightly, and handed the food box to Shen Fei.

"This is a mooncake made by myself, I brought it into the palace specially for Brother Chang Geng, I troubled Shizi Shen to give it to him for me."

"Okay, I'll go over later and secretly stuff some for Chang Geng, let him taste it first!"

"Thank you, Shizi Shen."

"Qingqian, why are you being polite to me!"

After chatting for a few more words, not far from the banquet, Lin Qingqian dragged Su Yingxue into the Hall of Supreme Harmony and took a seat.

Not long after sitting down, a sharp voice sounded from inside and outside the hall, "Your Majesty, Empress, Concubine Shu is here!"

All the ministers in the hall stood up and saluted, "The ministers will kowtow to the emperor, empress empress, and imperial concubine empress."

The emperor brought the empress, and Concubine Shu went to the first place to sit down, glanced around at the kneeling officials in the hall, raised his hands slightly without being angry, and said: "Everyone loves you."

"Your Majesty thanked you."

"Let's all sit down."

"Yes."

Everyone sat down at the table one after another, the emperor said in a deep voice: "Today is the mid-autumn festival, the monarchs and ministers are having fun together, you don't have to be cautious, and today the prince of the Western Chu Kingdom and the envoys came from afar, this banquet can be regarded as a cleansing for them. "

The emperor gave Li Quan a look, Li Quan stepped forward and said in a shrill voice, "Prince Xuanxi Chu, Murong Jing and the envoys have entered the palace!"

Lin Qingqian looked out of the hall subconsciously.

At a glance, he saw the leading man in white.

Murong Jing was dressed in white clothes to win the snow, and his smooth long hair like black jade was casually tied with a white cloth belt, half loose and half tied. He wore a silver mask on his face, revealing a small half of his face, with a beautiful jawline and two lips. The petals are moderately thick, the lips are warm and jade-colored, the corners of the mouth are slightly curved, and the gestures are elegant and noble.

Lin Qingqian was fascinated by the sight, and sighed secretly in her heart, as expected, it was as described in the book, Mo Shangren is like a jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world!
Well deserved!

Suddenly, Murong Jing, who was not looking sideways, turned his head slightly, and met Shang Lin Qingqian's gaze.
