One month later, Wanshou Festival.
Early in the morning, Lin Baoer was dragged up by Shen Xuelan and dressed up in various outfits, including gold and silver bracelets, longevity locks, red silk clothes, and even a delicate silver bell hung on her ankle. When she moved it, it jingled, very... Pleasant.
Looking at the strange little man in the bronze mirror, the corners of Lin Baoer's mouth twitched.
[Beauty mother, is this too exaggerated? Isn't it just the emperor's birthday? Why should it be so grand? ? ? ]
Shen Xuelan glanced at her in her busy schedule and hurriedly helped her put on the last shoe.
"Qinglian, are you ready?"
Qinglian prepared everything and solemnly said: "Okay, madam."
The emperor's birthday banquet was attended by all the officials. At Mao o'clock that day, he would bring his relatives to the palace to attend the banquet together. On this day , not only is it a day when civil and military officials are cautious, but the entire city of Yanjing will be decorated by craftsmen with colorful paintings, cloth, etc. The main streets are colorful, and there is singing and dancing everywhere.
At the same time, it is also the day when prisoners in prison have the best food.
"Okay, then you hurry up and inform the eldest young master and the others, and ask them to meet at the door as soon as possible."
"Yes."
At the door of Lin Mansion, two carriages have been waiting for a long time. After the owners got on the carriage, they slowly walked on the slightly exposed carriage. Dawn heads to the palace.
[Wow! Is this the palace? Indeed, as history books say, Qin bricks and Han tiles, purple pillars and golden beams are extremely luxurious. ]
Through the curtain of the carriage, Lin Baoer looked at the palace city outside intently, feeling excited.
I think back then, she didn't have time to go to Beijing to see the Forbidden City. She didn't expect that one day she would travel through time and see it for real. Things are so unpredictable!
A number of carriages had already gathered at the entrance of the palace. At a glance, it was far away, which showed how many civil and military officials there were including their relatives.
"Brother Lin!"
Sun Tzu Ce saw Lin Zhiyu and the others here at a glance, and waved to him from a distance.
Today he is dressed in blue and gray attire, with a jade crown on his head and a brocade around his waist, which makes him handsome and elegant. At first glance, he really looks like a handsome young master among the unparalleled young masters in the world.
If you ignore the way he talks.
But Lin Zhiyu didn't respond to him, but looked to the other side.
[Tsk, tsk, tsk, he also said that he has no sweetheart, this eldest brother's eyes are almost glued to Miss Chu. ]
Lin Zhiyu suddenly withdrew his gaze and glanced at Lin Baoer resentfully.
Lin Baoer had no idea that he could hear her voice and was still boasting there.
[It seems that the eldest brother has a long way to go to pursue his wife! He worked hard at the bureau every day, and even went to help the third brother look after the restaurant after taking a break. Why didn't he find a way to find a date with Miss Chu? That is your lifelong event! It's really rotten wood that cannot be carved! ]
[Have you seen how many people are staring at Miss Chu? The title of the number one talented woman is no joke! Let me tell you, if you don't be more attentive, brother, you won't even know if your daughter-in-law is taken away one day! I don't know where I will hide in a corner and cry. ]
Lin Baoer leaned in Qinglian's arms and sighed, and shot several knives at Lin Zhiyu, trying to make him wake up early.
Lin Ruqian, who was watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously, blinked, rolled his eyes, and moved closer to Lin Zhiyu. He narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Brother, why don't you go say hello to Miss Chu? Look at Mr. Li and Mr. Zhang. Young Master, I had so much fun chatting with Miss Chu. What if I don't notice, and your corner is poached?"
[You can teach a child! Third brother still understands my heart best! Big Brother's elm-headed head is really outrageous! ]
Lin Baoer pouted, thinking of the brain-tonifying pill she redeemed before, how about... just give it to her eldest brother?
But can Bunao Pills improve emotional intelligence? It seems that the eldest brother's IQ is already very high.
System: "No."
Lin Baoer: ...
Okay. She gave up the idea instantly.
The two of them singing together made Lin Zhiyu's forehead veins bulge, and he directly drove Lin Ruqian to Lin Qiming's side, "Dad, when I checked last night, I found that the third brother's strategy seemed to be short of one article."
Lin Ruqian said in disbelief . Look at him.
"What?!" Lin Qiming stared and slapped him on the head without hesitation, "You kid, you took all your thoughts away! You have to make up for me when you go back today, otherwise you won't even think about going out. !"
"Dad!" Lin Ruqian wailed.
"Brother, repay kindness with hatred!"
He clearly reminded me out of kindness!
Lin Zhiyu ignored it and walked gracefully to Lin Baoer's side.
[Ouch! WTF? ! ]
Lin Baoer shrank his hands in pain and stared at Lin Zhiyu rather resentfully.
"Qinglian, I heard from Doctor Zhang recently that Bao'er's nutrition is not very balanced and she needs a variety of complementary foods, so don't just give her one kind of food recently."
"Okay, sir." Qinglian He nodded carefully and kept it in mind.
[Ah ah ah ah brother what are you doing! It's not like I said you were poached! I don't want to eat that sticky, disgusting stuff! ]
Lin Zhiyu turned a deaf ear and Shi Shiran went to find Sun Ce.
Lin Mobai, who clearly saw the whole process, shuddered suddenly and silently took a step back.
It seems that no one can offend the vengeful eldest brother.
After the third quarter of Mao hour, everyone entered the palace. After arriving at Zitan Road, the civil and military officials and the family members separated into two groups.
The former had to go to the imperial palace to congratulate the emperor on his birthday and give gifts, and had to go through complicated formal ceremonies, while the latter only had to go to the place where the banquet was held and wait.
In the Taiye Pond, positions were assigned based on official rank. A dazzling array of fruit wine filled the banquet table, and the surroundings were filled with palace maids waiting for orders. The lake was sultry, the garden was filled with the fragrance of flowers, and there was a handful of spring breeze.
Before the emperor came, the officials and their relatives could walk around and chat with each other, so Shen Xuelan was called over by another official's wife just after they arrived at Taiye.
[I really want to eat this jade cake! This dessert is so exquisitely made, worthy of being produced by the royal palace. ]
Lin Baoer stared at the various desserts on the table with eager eyes.
"Second brother, can Bao'er eat these things?" Lin Ruqian quietly approached Lin Mobai and asked.
Lin Mobai pondered and nodded, "It shouldn't hurt to eat a little."
In the past month, Lin Baoer also tried many complementary foods. Among them, her favorite was probably egg custard. Even without any seasoning, it was very delicious.
After getting the answer, Lin Ruqian happily broke off a small piece of jade cake and brought it to Lin Baoer's mouth, shaking it, "Baoer, do you want to eat this?"
[Eat! ]
Ouch~
After one sip, Lin Baoer narrowed his eyes with satisfaction.
Seeing that Lin Ruqian wanted to feed more, Qinglian quickly stopped her and said, "Third Young Master, just this small piece is enough. If you eat too much, it will be difficult for the lady to digest."
