They were almost at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and they could no longer sit in the sedan chair. The siblings got out of the sedan chair and walked.

Although Grandma Jin said not to look around, the siblings lowered their heads and still looked around quietly. After all, this is a palace. Most people can't enter it once in their lifetime, so why don't they take a good look?

Nothing will happen in a few days, and they still have to go shopping there.

After making an appointment with Meng Meng to travel to Tongcheng, they checked the history and scenic spots of Tongcheng online. Although Tongcheng is known as the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, not many ancient buildings have survived in later generations, especially the Taiyong Palace, which was built hundreds of years ago.

It was burned away by a fire.

It's a pity that you can't take photos in such a big palace. I wonder if it's feasible to secretly fly a drone to take pictures at night.

The Queen's Changchun Palace is located to the north of the Taihe Hall, one behind the Yongle Palace where the Emperor lives.

After entering Changchun Palace, the siblings were taken to Dongnuan Pavilion, where they heard voices and the laughter of children playing. It was no different from ordinary people's homes.

Aunt Jin asked the siblings to wait outside. She stepped forward and said a few words to a nanny who was guarding the door. The nanny looked towards the siblings and nodded slightly as a greeting, "Princess Princess"

, Lin Xiaolian, wait a moment, your servant will go in and report to the queen."

"Thank you, grandma." Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu also smiled back.

After the nun left, Aunt Jin introduced in a low voice, "The one just now is Aunt Rong who is next to the queen. She usually looks at people with eyes above their heads. She was so polite today. It should be the pickles that Eunuch Fang brought back last time.

I’m happy to eat.”

He didn't expect that the little pickles he made would be so popular in the palace, and Lin Xiaoman was a little flattered.

At the same time, I also understood that Grandma Jin was not a popular figure in the palace at all. Thinking about it, how could a truly capable person around the Queen be allowed to go out and spread the message so far away?

But if Aunt Jin can be sent outside the palace, she can still be considered the number one person in the palace.

But Auntie Rong? Does it sound familiar? It seems like I’ve heard it somewhere.

Not long after, Grandma Rong came out and said, "Princess Princess, Lin Xiaolian, please follow me in."

The two siblings followed Aunt Rong in, while Aunt Jin retreated.

When I entered the door, I saw a thick carpet on the floor outside. Several smaller children were playing and playing on the carpet, and they almost bumped into the siblings who had just entered.

The siblings took a few steps back, lowering their heads and not daring to look around.

One of the pinkish little boys pointed at Lin Erhu and said, "Are you the new little eunuch who has entered the palace? Seeing that you are good-looking, please stay with me and serve me from now on."

Lin Erhu was a little panicked by his accusation. Didn't he say that the queen was hosting a banquet for dinner? Why was he turning into a eunuch before the meal was even eaten?

He has such excellent genes and plans to have more children, but he cannot be a eunuch.

Lin Erhu was so frightened that his face turned pale. Lin Xiaoman calmly pulled Lin Erhu behind her. If the Queen really asked someone to pull Erhu out and turn him into a eunuch, she would have to pull a few backs even if she tried her best.

of.

Fortunately, Aunt Rong spoke up, "Your Highness, this is Lin Xiaolian, whom the emperor has conferred, not the new eunuch who has entered the palace."

The little emperor's grandson looked unhappy, and looked Lin Erhu up and down, as if considering the possibility of turning him into a personal eunuch.

Aunt Rong pulled Lin Xiaoman, who was tense, and said, "Princess, the queen is waiting for you inside."

Lin Xiaoman then followed her and walked in again, but did not let go of Lin Erhu's hand. He kept staring at the little emperor's grandson from the corner of his eye. If he dared to say anything again, he wanted Lin Erhu to give it to him.

As a personal eunuch, she would risk her life to strangle him first.

After following Nanny Rong inside, Nanny Rong said: "Your Majesty, Princess Qingping, Lin Xiaolian is here."

The sister and brother immediately knelt down and used the etiquette they had just learned to greet the queen, "Lin Xiaoman, a commoner girl, and Lin Weizhen, a grassroots man, greet the queen."

The two siblings were kneeling on the ground. From the corner of their eyes, they could only see a lot of feet on the ground in front of them.

After a while, a calm and soft female voice came from the top position, "Flat body, quickly raise your head and let me take a look." Listening to it, people can't help but feel awe.

The siblings looked up as instructed and saw the queen, who was also wearing regular clothes, sitting in the middle, looking towards them with a smile.

One month later will be the Queen's 50th birthday, but she looks like she is only in her early thirties, which shows that she is very good at taking care of herself.

There were also several well-dressed women sitting in the seat below the queen. They looked very noble. Although they looked at the two siblings with smiles, their eyes only looked at and scrutinized them, without any kindness at all.

The queen also saw clearly the appearance of the two siblings. Lin Xiaoman's appearance was beyond her expectation. It was just that she was slightly dark because she had been in the fields all the time. However, she was obviously a peasant girl, but she had a bookish air about her that was different from today's women.

Her manners and manners are not shy like those of ordinary women. Even many women in the capital cannot compare to her indifference. She obviously wants to show the magnanimity of the mother of a country, but looking at this face, she can't do anything.

I don’t like it.

Whether they are love rivals or wives and concubines of children and grandchildren, she still prefers women who look stupid. She has seen a few with this temperament before, and they are all too upright.

Lin Erhu is not very old, and his eyes still have the ignorance of a child of the same age, which makes the queen like him very much.

The queen looked at Lin Erhu for a while, and the more she looked at him, the more she felt that the child's tiger-like appearance was too cute.

The queen nodded slightly, as if she was very satisfied with the sisters and brothers, and introduced them to the ladies present one by one. After greeting each other one by one, the sisters and brothers knew that these were the queen's daughters-in-law.

Among them were the Crown Princess, the Fifth Prince's Concubine, and the Seventh Prince's Concubine. Lin Xiaoman remembered that before entering the palace, Aunt Jin had said that these three married princes were born to the Queen. There were also the Second Prince's Concubine, the Fourth Prince's Concubine, and the Eighth Prince.

Concubines, the princes they married were all born to concubines.

There is also a third prince and a sixth prince who were born to a noble concubine, but I didn’t see their princes and concubines today. I wonder if the queen deliberately missed them, or they didn’t plan to come.

After all, the empress and the concubine have been at odds with each other for a long time, and they don’t even want to show off.

What made Lin Xiaoman puzzled was that it was agreed that the emperor had ordered the queen to hold a banquet to announce their brother and sister's entry into the palace, but besides the queen, all the people who came were the crown princess and the prince's concubine? It doesn't feel right no matter how you think about it.<

/p>

While the siblings were wondering, the queen had someone set up a seat next to her, with Lin Xiaoman sitting on one side and Lin Erhu sitting on the other.

"Your name is Xiaoman, and I will call you Xiaoman. How old is Xiaoman this year?"

"Back to the queen, the daughter of the common people is eighteen years old."

The queen smiled and clapped her hand twice, "You are the princess now, so you don't need to call yourself a daughter of the people."
