Chapter 2670 Entering the Palace
Manbao returned to the main room and wanted to go to the bed, but Bai Shan stopped him and dragged him directly to the bathroom. "I asked someone to prepare hot water, you wash up first."
Manbao can only take a bath first.
As a result, I felt refreshed after taking a bath.
She came out wearing her underwear, and there were some snacks on the table, including steamed buns, dumplings and porridge.
Bai Shan poured her a bowl of porridge and placed it in front of her, saying, "Eat something first, then take a nap. We will go to the palace in the afternoon."
Manbao then remembered this important matter and said while eating his porridge blankly, "These two children chose a good date. One was born on August 14th and the other on August 15th."
Bai Shan thought the same and said with a smile, "Even if I forget someone else's birthday in the future, I won't forget theirs either."
It's just bad luck that it happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival. I'm afraid that relatives and friends will not have much time to celebrate their birthdays in the future, so they will just have to celebrate it casually.
So is this a good or bad day?
Manbao went to sleep and woke up after noon.
Then he washed, changed his clothes and went into the palace.
Manbao decided to follow Bai Shan's advice and wear official robes. The weather was neither cold nor hot at the moment, so it was just right to wear official robes.
But Bai Shan planned to wear his normal clothes when he went in because he was a family member.
Manbao said, "By the way, let Xibing pack a new set of clothes and jewelry for Liru, and then we will go pick her up and go to the palace together."
Manbao decided to take Zhou Liru into the palace to see the world, after all, she would be an official in the future.
Bai Shan agreed and turned to give orders.
Manbao brought his family into the palace and first went to the Imperial Medical Bureau to give the clothes to Zhou Liru, asking Wuyue to dress her up.
Manbao sat beside her with a cup of tea and told her two big news, "yesterday your sister gave birth to a son."
Zhou Liru's eyes widened in surprise. Before he could cheer for joy, Manbao continued, "Your sister-in-law also gave birth this morning. It was a girl."
Zhou Liru almost jumped up, but Wu Yue held him down, "Mrs. San, you can't move, your hair will get messy."
Zhou Liru followed his aunt into the car and headed for the palace in a daze. It took him a while to come to his senses. "Aunt, you've worked hard."
Manbao nodded modestly and said politely, "It's OK. The birth went smoothly."
"Can I go home to see the kids tomorrow?"
"That depends on whether the Honglu Temple arrests anyone tomorrow."
As they were talking, the group arrived at the gate of the imperial city. There were many officials and their families entering the palace at the same time, and everyone was queuing up.
Bai Shan was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a ring and a bracelet hanging around his waist. He was sitting upright on his horse. He stretched his neck slightly to look forward and saw the Yin family's carriage.
He waved over there, and the servants of the Yin family saw it. After entering the imperial city, they hid aside and waited. They came out only after the Zhou family's carriage and guards came in. The two sides walked forward at the same time.
Gao You watched with his lips pursed, fists clenched. A guard whispered, "Prince, do you think the news we've heard is true? The Emperor of Dajin doesn't even want to see us. How could he accept our request for peace?"
Gao You said coldly, "Didn't you hear that person's hint? The Great Jin wants more tribute. They're trying to give us the cold shoulder and then raise the price. Anyway, let's pass on this good news first. The royal court is pushing us, and we have to ask the royal court for their opinion on the reserve price."
"Before coming..."
"Before we came here, we didn't know that the Great Jin would be so tough this time. We can't even send gold, silver, and jewelry. Obviously, the Great Jin is not satisfied with the previously agreed tribute amount and must increase it."
It's a pity that he can't make the final decision on this matter. He has to travel thousands of miles to ask the royal court for instructions. The two countries will definitely negotiate after the Mid-Autumn Festival. He can't delay it for a long time, otherwise what if Dajin becomes angry and embarrassed?
They thought the emperor was high above them and had no fear of the Jin Dynasty, but he was a grasshopper in the palm of their hands.
When they arrived at the palace gate, Manbao helped Bai Shan get out of the carriage. He watched his carriage and horses turn a corner and leave from another road. He then looked at Yao Yinhuo and asked, "You actually came to the palace to attend the palace banquet?"
Yin Huo smiled slightly and said, "Father said that my health has improved a lot and I am no longer afraid of sitting for long periods of time, so he asked me to come to the palace to take a look."
In fact, the old lady still had evil intentions and had always wanted to find a wife for Yin Huo, so she wanted to take him out for a walk and tell the world in a formal occasion that Yin Huo's health had improved a lot.
However, Yin Huo did not want to be too deeply involved with another woman or another family, and he was not suitable for marriage.
But it is still possible to enter the palace and attend palace banquets.
He smiled at Bai Shan and Zhou Man, then noticed their attire and couldn't help but smile, "Let's go into the palace."
"Meet your grandmother first."
Old Madam Yin also got out of the car.
Manbao and Baishan stepped forward and saluted with a smile.
Madam Yin quickly smiled and said, "Master Zhou and Master Bai, there's no need to be so polite."
She looked at the beautiful couple in front of her and said with some envy, "Lord Zhou and Lord Bai are truly a match made in heaven." In fact, the same applies to the saying "the woman is talented and the man is beautiful." In any case, they are a perfect match.
envious.
She glanced at her grandson standing beside her and sighed in her heart, wondering if her grandson could find such a person.
The emperor and empress have always been kind to the elderly and officials in poor health, so there are many sedan chairs waiting inside the palace gate.
For an elderly person like Old Lady Yin, she could just take the sedan chair into the palace after entering. Otherwise, it would be a long journey, and the old lady was dressed in her best clothes. Even if she didn't collapse from exhaustion, she would be sweating and uncomfortable. If she turned around and was blown by the cold wind, she would get sick.
Old Lady Yin sat on the sedan chair and immediately pointed at Yin Huo and asked him to get on.
Yin Huo shook his head and said, "Grandma, Zhou Man and I will walk slowly. You go first."
Bai Shan knew that he didn't want to walk with Old Madam Yin, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Old Madam, we have studied in the palace for several years and are very familiar with each other. We will catch up with you in a short while."
Old Madam Yin had no choice but to give up and let the sedan chair go first.
They all arrived at the palace early, and they didn't know how long it would take for the banquet to start, so they were not in a hurry at all and walked forward slowly.
Zhou Liru even envied Zhou Man, "Auntie, your official uniform is much lighter than ours."
Manbao also saw it and said complacently: "This is called foresight."
Zhou Liru smiled and looked around.
Manbao said, "Don't look at it. Minister Liu and his family may not enter the palace until later."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Liru pointed behind him and said, "Liu Huan!"
They all turned around and saw Liu Huan running towards them. "No noise is allowed in the palace, but I called out several times. How come you didn't hear me?"
Manbao: "You must not have screamed loudly, otherwise you would still be here now?"
Liu Huan was upset, "You really want me to be arrested."
Liu Huan looked around and asked, "Where's Bai Er?"
Bai Shan: "He entered the palace yesterday afternoon."
So he must be living in the palace, so why would he need to go in through the palace gate?
See you at 6pm
