When Lin Yuxin and the others entered the hall, many officials and their families had already arrived and were waiting. Some of the familiar ones were already chatting and laughing, while there were also those who wanted to climb up the social ladder. If subordinates and superiors want to have a good relationship, they have to flatter and fawn on them.

Lin Yuxin obediently followed her mother to find a seat and sat down. Her scumbag father and brothers sat a little in front of them.

Because the position of Shangshu is not low, it is a high rank in Xia Kingdom, but Lin Xiong'an did not get it by his own strength. There are too many water in the position, which means he only has an official position but not much real power.

But it did not affect the treatment he had always enjoyed as a servant. Lin Xiong'an had always been proud of this and felt that everything was earned by him.

"Mrs. Lin, long time no see!"

"Mrs. Xu, long time no see. How have you been?"

At this time, a lady who lived close to Zhao Hanya started talking to Zhao Hanya, leaving Lin Yuxin sitting alone, bored.

Lin Yuxin has been sitting like this for more than an hour. She has eaten everything she should eat, but the meal has not started yet. Lin Yuxin feels so hungry!

[I'm so hungry! When will the feast start? When will the emperor arrive? Oh, I haven't seen the envoy from Qi yet, I wonder if he's here yet? ]

Lin Yuxin quietly covered her stomach and swallowed her saliva, thinking about the envoy from Qi State. She looked around calmly but saw no one.

Just when Lin Yuxin was about to think of a way to secretly eat something, she heard a duck voice shouting:

"Your Majesty, please drive. Your Majesty, please drive. We respectfully welcome the Regent Prince."

"May His Majesty live long and long, and may Her Majesty live a thousand years and a thousand years. May the Prince Regent live long and long."

All the ministers, ladies and sisters stood up and knelt to salute. Lin Yuxin was no exception and followed her mother obediently.

After the emperor and the queen took their seats, the emperor smiled and spoke:

"My dear ministers, please stand up. This is a state banquet. Please don't be too formal."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Everyone answered in unison and stood up and returned to their seats.

Lin Yuxin looked up and saw that the emperor looked to be in his forties. He was quite handsome, but not as handsome as Li Xiaochen.

But the emperor's aura alone is enough to make people afraid.

The Empress looked dignified, elegant, graceful and noble, a role model among women.

[Well, the Emperor and the Empress standing together are quite pleasing to the eye. It is said that they had a very good relationship. It's a pity that the Empress didn't live for more than two years! ]

[After the child died, the Empress couldn't bear the blow. She was too sad and her body was damaged. In addition, someone poisoned her. So the Empress' body is now almost at the critical point. If she is not careful, the poison will take effect. ]

[The story says that after the queen died, the emperor was too old to appoint another queen, so there are still infatuated people in the imperial family! ]

Lin Yuxin thought about this and felt that the emperor was quite pleasing to the eye.

But the emperor and the queen who were sitting on the throne were shocked. What sound? What kind of poison? Will I die? (Will the queen die?)

Before the emperor and the queen could figure out where the sound came from, the sound came again.

[However, if I can find a chance to detoxify the Queen, how many more decades will the Queen live? In addition, the Queen's son is still in my house! If the Queen dies, Xiao Hao will be very sad! ]

[I promised to take good care of him, so I'll take care of his mother as well! ]

Lin Yuxin was thinking of a solution downstairs. She felt that it was a pity that the queen was going to die, and Xiaohao would be sad when he knew the truth.

She didn't know that several people present had already changed their expressions.

Zhao Hanya was now sweating profusely. His daughter's anger was starting to show up again. How dare she get involved in the royal family's affairs?

When he was rescued, he felt sorry for him, and as a child of the royal family, it was impossible to place him anywhere, so he was raised at home.

How could she attend a state banquet and get involved in the Queen's affairs? However, as a mother, she could only support her daughter in doing what she wanted.

She had already made up her mind that after the state banquet, she would find an opportunity to bring Lin Yuxin to meet the Queen. She didn't know if the meeting would go smoothly, so she could only leave everything to fate!

The brothers also looked bitter. "Sister, you really give us a hard time. We brothers can't manage the affairs of the harem, let alone the emperor's harem? Will the brothers cheer you on this time?"

Li Xiaochen picked up the wine glass on the table, glanced in Lin Yuxin's direction with a smile, then put it back.

Ha! This girl is quite lenient. Isn't she afraid that the harem will be cannibalistic?

When the queen heard the word "son", her face turned pale. Are you talking about her son? She only had one son who was gone, and that was her eight-month-old baby.

At that time, Lin'er was in poor health and fell ill easily. She went to Lingquan Temple outside the capital to pray for Lin'er, but in the blink of an eye, Lin'er disappeared.

She searched for a long time but found nothing. After searching for a month, she only found one of Lin'er's bloody shoes by the river below the water.

They all said that Lin'er was dead, but she was the only one who didn't believe it and thought that Lin'er was still alive.

Now she heard that voice, did she think her son was really alive? And still in her house, who was she?

She raised her head and looked around one by one, trying to find out who was talking just now, but she couldn't see anything unusual after looking around for a few times. Could it be that this was an illusion caused by her longing for her son?

Although the emperor was also very shocked by the news he heard, he was the emperor after all, and he managed his facial expressions very well. Even if he was out of control, he still looked very calm.

The son of me and the queen? Only Lin'er. Is there any news about Lin'er? But who was that voice just now? And someone said that someone wanted to use Lin'er's matter to threaten me? If I knew that someone really dared to plot against him, I would make him die on five horses.

Lin Yuxin didn't know what the emperor was thinking. If she knew, she would definitely roll her eyes and say that the emperor was suspicious by nature. Is that true?

Just when the emperor and the empress were thinking about how to find that person, envoys from other countries began to arrive.

"Prince Hulu of Sauna Kingdom has come to see you."

From outside the hall, the shrill voice of a male duck began to announce something.

Lin Yuxin was frightened. Oh my god, this eunuch's words are so scary.

Lin Yuxin patted her chest to come back to her senses, and when she looked up, she saw a man in foreign clothing, followed by two servants, walking towards the front of the hall carrying a box.

"Khurukimuda of the Sauna Kingdom pays homage to the Emperor of the Xia Kingdom."

The prince of Sauna respectfully performed a Sauna etiquette.

"Okay, okay, Prince Hulu, thank you for coming all the way here."

The emperor spoke to Prince Hulu happily, looking like the two of them were good brothers.

[The emperor is acting really well. How much stuff does the Sauna Kingdom steal from our Xia Kingdom every year? I guess the emperor must have cursed the ancestors of the Sauna Kingdom in his heart, right?]

The emperor choked. He thought, whoever spread the rumor about him would be found out and her tongue would be cut off. How could he curse their ancestors? He only cursed his parents!

"Your Majesty, this is a gift from our Sauna Nation to the Xia Nation."

Prince Hulu stood up and pointed at the gifts brought by his two followers behind him and said.

"Oh? You guys in Sauna Country are really thoughtful. Open it and take a look?"

The emperor immediately perked up. There's a gift to receive? That's great!
