Lin Xiaoman knew that Xu Panxia told him these things out of good intentions, and was afraid that he would jump into the pit of fire, so he could only say helplessly: "The emperor is just joking. I have a fiancé and the wedding date is already fixed. How can I remarry the prince?"

Xu Panxia shook her head, "The emperor may be just joking, but I see that all those princes are more enthusiastic. You must know that your reputation among the people is extremely high now. If you can marry you back to the palace, you have won the hearts of the majority of the people."

In the future, if you come up with something that benefits the people, the people's voices will help your man to get into that position."

Lin Xiaoman frowned and suddenly understood the seriousness of the matter. She seemed to have really become a piece of cake.

While talking, Grandma Jin called the two of them to enter the palace.

Everyone who enters the palace must be searched by the palace officials, especially on such occasions, as they are afraid of bringing in any dangerous items.

Lin Xiaoman was a little worried. She was carrying itching powder and fart spray that she wanted to find an opportunity to make the Third Prince and others look embarrassed. It would be too embarrassing if someone found her out in public.

Fortunately, the palace guards who searched her body only searched the people accompanying them, and did not search the bodies of noble ladies like her and Xu Panxia.

After patting the itching powder and fart spray that she had hidden on her chest, Lin Xiaoman let out a long sigh: The Third Prince and the others would just stay on their terms with her, but if they dared to provoke her again, she would definitely give them a good look.

Entering the palace gate, there were already people waiting in front. Lin Xiaoman thought that Miss Xu would not be alone when entering the palace, but she was still shocked when she saw the numerous female members of the Xu family.

Xu Panxia introduced Lin Xiaoman one by one. Lin Xiaoman didn't remember much, but the young ladies of the Xu family impressed her deeply.

Even the ladies of Prime Minister Xu's Mansion, not everyone is qualified to attend the Queen's birthday banquet. Among them, in addition to the third young lady who was invited as the Queen's sister, there are also those whose husbands have just made great achievements on the border.

The second young lady who was given a royal title, and the eldest young lady who came with her were all because of her status as the eldest daughter-in-law of the prime minister's house.

But in comparison, the eldest daughter-in-law of the prime minister's house seemed much ordinary. She was inconspicuous in the crowd, and most of the people who came over to greet her were with the Second Young Madam and the Third Young Madam.

As for the two wives whose husbands were also officials in the court, they came to the palace to join in the fun simply because their husbands were of high rank, and they did not sit too far forward when they were seated.

At this time, no one even came over to talk to them. Not to mention that Xu Panxia said that the several concubine aunts who stayed at home were not even qualified to enter the palace.

The capital is indeed a world of right and wrong where one wife depends on her husband.

Because the Third Young Madam was the Queen's sister, there were always a lot of people around her. Xu Panxia didn't like to join in the fun, so she took Lin Xiaoman and hid outside the crowd.

I wonder if Xu Panxia has always been like this and everyone knows her temper? Still she doesn't dare to contact her, but no one comes to bother her.

Xu Panxia told Lin Xiaoman a lot about the connections in the capital. Lin Xiaoman knew that the Cui family wanted to send their daughter to the palace, but the emperor refused because he was old and did not want to admit new people to the palace. The Cui family was full of people.

The sisters in the capital are looking for their husband's family.

Li Mansion, next door to Princess Qingping's Mansion, recently sent their daughter to the Prince's Mansion to be a concubine. Concubine Li was very favored by the Prince because of her beauty, and both the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince's concubine were looking for faults with her.

Aunt Rong was originally the maid of the emperor's maternal grandmother. The emperor always went to his maternal grandmother's house to play when he was a child, and he and Aunt Rong became acquainted at that time.

At that time, the emperor's wife was convicted and their house was confiscated and exiled, and the servants were sold. The Xu family, thinking of the friendship between the two families, bought all the servants they could and kept them in the mansion for their own use.

Later, when the queen and the emperor got married, Nanny Rong was taken as a dowry maid to the then Prince Kang's Mansion. Even though the emperor later ascended the throne and rehabilitated his family, the Xu Mansion returned all the servants they could use.

But at that time, the emperor's maternal grandparents were both deceased, so Grandma Rong stayed with the queen.

Every time the emperor saw Aunt Rong, he would think of his loving grandmother. Sometimes he would talk to Aunt Rong about the emperor's own mother whom she had met in the palace when she was young. He would praise the beauty of the empress dowager when she was not married.

The emperor should take more care of the queen.

Lin Xiaoman felt that it was not easy for the queen and the Xu family to reach today step by step. The emperor doted on the concubine. In order to make the emperor have more affection for the queen, he even used the family card of the emperor's maternal ancestors.

Anyway, if it were her, she wouldn't be able to do such a humble thing to keep a man's heart.

However, considering that the Queen is also the mother of a country now, she cannot say anything pitiful. After all, if the Emperor is the boss and the boss is satisfied, what he gets in exchange is the Prime Minister and the Sixth Palace, as well as the power of the family.

It can only be said that everyone has different pursuits. She sympathized with the queen and did everything possible to get her husband's love. But when she saw the queen, she had to kneel down and kowtow. If she made the queen unhappy, her life might be in danger.

We chatted all the way to the harem. At this time, there were many tables filled with tea and fruit snacks in the imperial garden. The food and drinks on them were all served in small plates and small bowls. Just go and get whatever you want.

This was also Lin Xiaoman's idea, using the buffet model of later banquets and modifying it, which made many people feel novel and convenient at the same time.

But this is just a snack before the birthday banquet. The actual banquet still has to be set up with tables and chairs, and seats are arranged according to seniority.

Lin Xiaoman no longer had to go to the imperial dining room today, but obviously everyone in the imperial dining room remembered her. Lin Xiaoman and Miss Xu had just found a quiet place to sit down and wanted to admire the lotus flowers in the pond, when the little eunuch from the imperial dining room took care of her.

A few teas and snacks specially prepared for Lin Xiaoman were brought over, "Princess, the royal chefs prepared these for the princess. Does the princess like it? If you want to eat, please ask someone to go to the imperial dining room and tell you.

, the servant personally delivered it to the princess."

The little eunuch said the word "personally" seriously, and Lin Xiaoman understood. Except for the buffet over there, if the imperial dining room really brought food and drinks to her, he would bring them to her. She was told not to know that others were sending food and drinks in the name of the royal dining room.

So as not to eat the wrong thing and offend others.

Lin Xiaoman thanked them and told them not to worry about her. She knew how busy the imperial kitchen was today and she couldn't cause them any trouble.

The maid who was waiting nearby brought a small table and laid out a few food and refreshments. There were many things and they were all very exquisite. The ladies and ladies who were not eating or drinking next to them were very envious.

Although they had a buffet to eat, compared with what Lin Xiaoman had in front of them, the gap was really huge.

Someone asked who the person sitting with Miss Xu was. If anyone knew, they would introduce Princess Qingping in a low voice.

Knowing that this was Princess Qingping who had beaten the third prince yesterday and made many princes want to move, many people's eyes changed. Some people were simply curious, while others regarded Lin Xiaoman as a potential enemy. After all, almost every family
