Chapter 170
"Of course we have what the sisters want."
Lin Baoer appeared from the other side, and ran over with a smile.
Several people smiled immediately and surrounded her.
"Baoer!"
"Really? Baoer, how did you develop such a thing? It's so useful, even more useful than the doctor's medicine!"
"Yes, because of the previous accident, I have a chronic disease. Every rainy night, my waist and abdomen are very sore. A few days ago, Baoer sent me a medicine, and after taking it, the disease was cured immediately!"
"Is it so magical?"
Looking at Lin Baoer surrounded by several sisters, Lin Ruqian in the corner stroked his forehead and shook his head helplessly.
For some reason, Lin Baoer has become more and more unrestrained in front of them during this period. She always takes out all kinds of strange things, and she is not afraid of their suspicion. If he and his elder brother had not tried their best to cover for her, she would have been exposed long ago.
After staying in Shuiqing Tower for another day, until the evening, Lin Qiming brought some bad news.
The main hall of the Lin Mansion had a strange atmosphere.
"Dad, are you saying that the Queen Mother specifically asked me to bring Baoer with me?"
Lin Zhiyu lowered his eyes in thought, his brows tightly knitted.
Lin Qiming glanced at the worried Shen Xuelan and nodded, "That's true. At that time, His Majesty and I were discussing something in the study. When we came out, we met the Queen. She said that Mobai was so brave at such a young age. She admired Xuelan very much, so she wanted to invite her and Baoer to the palace to reminisce the past."
"As she said, she also invited other officials' wives."
Seeing that Shen Xuelan looked unhappy, Lin Qiming patted her hand soothingly, "You have never been to the palace alone. If you don't want to go, your husband will refuse it for you."
[Why didn't you invite her before, but now? What is your plan? 】
Now that the prince's power has been reduced and he is confined to the East Palace, the ministers of the prince's faction have also suffered setbacks frequently. People who understand the current situation can see at a glance that the emperor has begun to be jealous of the prince, and they have taken sides to avoid being affected.
But the Lin family is naturally different from them. From the beginning to the end, they all believe that the prince was deliberately framed and the emperor believed the slander.
In this situation where both sides are on the verge of a fight, the queen found a reason to invite Shen Xuelan to the palace to reconcile the past. People have to wonder whether she has obtained the emperor's permission... or is she acting on her own?
And now there is another Shen Ruyu in the palace, a jackal and a tiger. If there is any other choice, Lin Qiming would not want Shen Xuelan to wade into this muddy water.
Shen Xuelan knew the situation in the court, and she shook her head, "No, I'll go."
"Madam." Lin Qiming was worried.
Shen Xuelan sighed, "If I refuse the queen, won't I offend the royal family? I'll just go to talk about the past, it won't be a big deal."
Lin Baoer also jumped down from the chair beside her and threw herself into Shen Xuelan's arms, "Yes, I'm still here! I will definitely protect my mother!"
[When the enemy comes, the generals will stop him, and when the water comes, the earth will cover it. I want to see what these people want to do! ]
When the three people heard this, they could only agree with heavy hearts.
The queen's invitation arrived at noon the next day, so when everything was almost ready, Shen Xuelan took Lin Baoer to the palace.
The eunuch led them to Deshan Hall. When they arrived, they found that many officials' wives had already arrived, and Song Qingqing was also there. This undoubtedly made Lin Baoer feel relieved.
Who knows the feeling of seeing familiar people in a grand occasion?
"I pay my respects to the Empress. May the Empress
be well." Shen Xuelan paid her respects to the Empress, and Lin Baoer followed suit.
"It turns out that Madam Lin is here. Please get up quickly."
The Queen smiled. "Today, I have held a banquet to invite everyone to come and reminisce about the past. No need to be so polite."
After saying that, she looked at Lin Baoer again, her eyebrows and eyes softened. "Is this the fourth young lady? She is really lovely. I didn't see her clearly a few days ago. When I see her today, I find that she is as beautiful as a lotus emerging from water, graceful and charming."
"Come here, bring me the pair of jade ruyi."
After a while, the maid had a pair of white jade ruyi in her hand, which was obviously worth a lot of money.
"This jade ruyi was given to me by the late queen when I gave birth to Mo'er. The meaning is very different. Now it is just right to give it to the fourth young lady." When
the maid handed the jade ruyi to Lin Baoer, Lin Baoer was still in a daze.
[Just give it to me? Are all rich people so generous?
"Thank you, Queen." Shen Xuelan thanked.
Lin Baoer, who realized it later, also smiled sweetly and said in a baby voice: "Thank you, Queen, may you live a thousand years."
Not long after, some laughter came from the side.
Lin Baoer blinked in confusion.
Didn't she remember that people in ancient times said so? Could she be wrong?
Shen Xuelan stroked Lin Baoer's head with a smile, but didn't say anything.
Thinking of the things she prepared before entering the palace, Lin Baoer put the jade ruyi aside and took out two small boxes from her narrow sleeve bag.
"Your Majesty, Bao'er has something to give you, too."
"Oh?" The Queen raised her eyebrows with interest, smiling, "What is it?"
Without the help of the maid, Lin Bao'er walked straight towards the Queen.
Shen Xuelan wanted to stop her, but was stopped by the Queen.
After walking to the side of the Queen, Lin Baoer put the two small boxes in the Queen's hands, "Baoer heard that the Queen is a Buddhist. This is what Baoer asked for from Master Sanzang before. Master Sanzang said that this string of Buddhist beads was enshrined in the Jade Purity Buddhist Temple for 9981 days. It has been blessed to ensure safety."
"This is a whitening cream, a priceless item in Wuyun Pavilion. Although you, the Queen, are already naturally beautiful, no one would think that they are more beautiful, right?"
Lin Baoer's little mouth chattered, and her chubby face with sincere smiling eyes looked very pleasing, which made people feel comforted.
This made the queen smile brightly. After taking the things, she asked, "Since this string of Buddhist beads was requested by you, the fourth lady, and you gave it to me, what about you?"
Lin Baoer blinked, "Well... Baoer can ask for another string."
"Haha."
The queen laughed heartily.
At this time, the wives of officials beside her also spoke, all of them envious, "Your Majesty, don't just focus on the Buddhist beads. The whitening cream is also a good thing. We can't buy it even if we want to."
"Really?" The queen was surprised.
The wives of officials nodded repeatedly, "I bought it once, and the effect is really amazing. If it weren't so expensive, I would buy a lot of it and keep it at home!"
This surprised the queen. She looked at the small box in her hand, opened it curiously, and then applied a little on her hand. After a while, she found that the skin didn't change much, but the smell was light and fragrant, which was very good.
