"alright."

The deep and rich voice of a certain prince sounded again in the carriage. Nian Zheng came to his senses with a jolt and hurriedly raised the curtain.

Lin Dongyao and Man Yue walked out of the carriage with expressions as if nothing had happened.

In fact, nothing happened just now. It was just that after the carriage stopped, Lin Dongyao sat up straight and was about to get off the car. Jin Buyao on Man Yue's head scratched his hair. It happened that Nian Zheng raised the curtain at this time.

.

After getting off the car, he saw that the golden step in Man Yue's hair was still a little crooked, and he couldn't help but stop.

"Wait."

After the words fell, he raised his hand to support Jin Buyao in Man Yue's hair, but he was obviously not good at this kind of thing, and he was not as good as before.

"My lord, did you do this on purpose?" Man Yue rolled her eyes at him.

"Cherish the dream."

She called Ximeng in a low voice. Ximeng had been sitting outside the carriage before, and now he hurried forward to help her tidy up.

"Your Majesty, your collar." Man Yue saw some wrinkles on his collar, which must have been wrinkled when he leaned on her just now.

"Huh?" Lin Dongyao lowered his head and deliberately adjusted the collar on the other side. Nian Zheng took a step forward to help him, but he glared back.

Nian Zheng retracted his hand and stood aside depressedly, lowering his head.

Why is he so stupid! The prince obviously wants the princess to help!

Alas! Now they really don’t understand the prince’s joys and sorrows anymore! In other words, as long as the princess gives the prince a sweet treat, they don’t have to be afraid!

"Here." Man Yue did not see Lin Dongyao's glare at Nian Zheng. She raised her hand and naturally helped Lin Dongyao adjust his collar. This action was natural and skillful, as if they were an old couple.

"Really?" A certain prince had known about it for a long time, but now he looked like he suddenly realized it. Nian Zheng looked at it with his mouth agape.

"Okay. Okay."

Man Yue nodded, and the moment her hand left his collar, she suddenly frowned.

Why did she complete this series of actions so naturally just now, as if she had done it many times before? Even in her previous life, she helped Lin Donghe - but she really had no feelings for Lin Donghe.

So now——

At this time, there were sounds of footsteps beside her. Man Yue turned around and saw Lin Jian and Er Ruo walking towards this side.

Lin Jian saw the scene just now and understood it completely.

However, Lin Dongyao knew that Lin Jian had arrived outside Chengqian Palace a long time ago, but he pretended not to see it. As soon as he and Man Yue appeared harmonious as a couple, everything fell into the eyes of Lin Jian and Er Ruo.

"If you have met the prince."

Erruo was the first to speak, looking at Lin Dongyao and Man Yue cautiously.

Even though she is the Crown Princess now, according to the rules, she still has to pay her respects to Lin Dongyao.

"I have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."

Man Yue Fu returned the favor, but before she could stand still, Lin Dongyao had already reached out to hold her steady.

His big hand naturally took her small hand and held it gently in his palm.

Seeing this, Lin Jian took a step forward and looked at the two of them with a calm expression.

"Everyone knows the love between the fifth brother and his sister-in-law, but we should stay in the palace to love each other. It's time to go in and pay our respects."

When his siblings called out, his heart was already in turmoil, but his face was calmer than ever.

"To make the prince laugh, sometimes the love between husband and wife will be revealed unconsciously, not deliberately. Prince, please."

Lin Dongyao was in a good mood and no longer had the cold face of the past few days. Now he could refute anything he said with a smile.

Lin Jian glanced at Man Yue and took the lead in walking in front.

Er Ruo Shi Shi Ran followed.

As he passed by, Erruo raised his head and glanced at the full moon thoughtfully.

At this glance, she saw Man Yue with a calm expression, a quiet and indifferent temperament, and her face was as delicate and agile as water, set off by her palace attire.

And what about her?

She looks pale and haggard even with heavy makeup!

A pair of eyes were even swollen to the size of walnuts. I applied cold water to them early this morning to reduce the swelling.

She cried for three days and finally shed all her tears.

The wet nurse was right, she had to make herself stronger to attract Lin Jian's attention, instead of following Lin Jian eagerly, begging for his alms and gifts like a beggar.

Since Linghu Man Yue can do it, she can do it too.

Everyone entered the hall, and the emperor's deep laughter sounded in the hall.

"Lao Ba, why are you anxious too? But it's useless to be anxious. We have to wait for at least five more years."

The emperor didn't know what he was talking to Lin Nande, but the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

Seeing Man Yue and others walking in, the emotions on the faces of the Emperor and the Queen Mother became even higher.

In the main hall, the emperor and the queen mother were sitting in the middle, with Lin Nande sitting next to them, Lin Donghe and Ding Juming sitting on one side, and the queen and concubines.

Concubine An stayed in the palace to take care of the little princess.

"Erruo, Man Yue, you are here."

The Queen Mother waved to them happily, and Man Yue and Er Ruo stepped forward to say hello.

Lin Dongyao naturally held up the full moon, and the prince also symbolically held up Fuluo.

There was a hint of bitterness in Er Ruo's lowered eyes.

"Hey, little girl Erruo, you haven't had any rest, okay? Why do you look a little haggard?" The Queen Mother called Erruo to her side.

Compared with Full Moon's delicate and natural look, the makeup on Er Ruo's face is actually a bit heavy, and even rouge and gouache can't hide her haggard and gloomy look.

"Your Majesty, this newlywed, look at you, do you still need to ask?"

At this time, a concubine smiled and whispered to the queen mother.

The Queen Mother rolled her eyes angrily, but she couldn't hide the joy on her face.

"Prince, have you not taken good care of Erruo these days? You should learn from your fifth brother."

There is a hidden meaning in what the Queen Mother said.

The purpose is to let the prince and Er Ruo exercise restraint when having sex, stop it in moderation, and not be too infatuated. If this spreads out, others will laugh at them.

"I understand, Grandma Huang." The prince nodded and walked to the side with a relaxed expression and sat down.

"Dong Yao, Man Yue, you can sit down too. There is no need to be formal today. Although it is the first time that the new Crown Princess and Princess have officially met the Emperor and Queen Mother, it is also a family banquet, so just be more casual."

The queen seemed to greet Man Yue and Lin Dongyao warmly, but in fact she was just doing it for the emperor and the queen mother to see.

After going through so many things in the past, the queen did not dare to provoke Man Yue easily. Even Herruo was raped by Linghu Man Yue several times, let alone her?

Lin Dongyao sat down supporting Man Yue. The two faced each other. Lin Donghe lowered his eyes and looked at the tea cup in his hand. The pair of cold eyes reflected in the tea in the cup were full of gloomy murderous intent.

Beside him, Ding Juming was also dressed in fine clothes. From the corner of her eye, she looked past Lin Donghe towards the prince and Er Ruo, her eyes dim and lost.

Lin Nande playfully stuck out his tongue at the full moon and winked as a thank you for her help that day.

But when he saw Lin Dongyao's eyes settling accounts, he couldn't help but shudder violently.

Fifth sister-in-law wouldn't be so unloyal to betray him, would she?

Everyone arrived and served tea one by one.

When it was Man Yue and Lin Dongyao's turn, Concubine An stood up and stood beside the emperor.

The emperor looked sideways at her, their eyes intertwined. Her eyes were pleased and satisfied, while the emperor was full of a heavy smile.

The queen who was watching from the side turned coldly and looked away.

When she was standing next to the emperor just now, the emperor didn't even look at her. He was obviously favoring one over the other!

"Dong Yao, full moon, my concubine only hopes that you will respect your elders, spread your branches, spread your leaves, and your grandchildren will be in peace and stability." Concubine An didn't say much. Compared with the hundreds of words of nice words the queen just said, she seemed to be sincere.

Immediately, Concubine An took out her family heirloom and handed it to Man Yue.

Everyone else present, even the emperor and the queen mother, were stunned.

Anjia’s Yunguang Jade Lock!

An heirloom inherited by the An family for hundreds of years, Concubine An stayed with her when she became a monk. As a lock, she showed the utmost tolerance and recognition to Man Yue. No matter what she does in the future, she will always be Lin Dongyao's first wife and the only one.

Princess! She is also the daughter-in-law of the An family!

This Yunguang Jade Lock was originally passed down to Concubine An, which also means that even if Concubine An gets married, she will always be the daughter of the An family. No matter what her fate is in the future, if she wants to return to the An family, she can do so at any time! No one can refuse to make things difficult for her.

Concubine An gave the Yunguang Jade Lock to the full moon today, which has the same meaning.

Compared with the family heirloom that Concubine An gave to the full moon, the pair of jade bracelets that the queen gave to Erruo before were also valuable, but it was obvious that the queen did not give the last one to Erruo.

Er Ruo touched the cold jade bracelet on her wrist. She didn't show it on her face, but in her heart she hated the Queen for being so stingy.
