Chapter 196 Return to the Palace
Three days later was New Year's Eve. During this period, Lin Baoer simply had too much fun and almost didn't even go home. She seemed to have a feeling that she had to play all the things she hadn't played before.
On this day, she sat on the second floor of Wuyun Pavilion with a swagger, looking at the stream of people coming in one after another below, and the smile on her face never disappeared.
"Baoer, I didn't expect this batch of lipsticks to be so popular. It really surprised me." Lin Ruqian leaned against the door and looked at the scene downstairs, very surprised.
Hearing this, Lin Baoer snorted proudly and changed to a comfortable posture, "Third brother, as a man, you naturally don't understand these. Women, like what they like and don't care about those things."
This is something that has been passed down from ancient times to the present. Even in modern times, beauty and makeup are still popular.
"Really? Bao'er understands women so well?"
Facing Lin Ruqian's half-smile, Lin Bao'er touched her nose with a guilty conscience and said, "Not really, I heard it from Sister Chu!"
She quickly put the blame on Chu Jingchen. She
almost forgot that she was still a child now. She must not show too much in front of Lin Ruqian and make him suspicious.
In fact, what she didn't know was that her little secrets had already been known to everyone, almost openly and transparently. The reason why they didn't expose her was just because they wanted to protect her little self-esteem.
This batch of lipsticks almost sold half of Shenghuai Restaurant's annual sales, which shows how crazy these women in Yanjing City are.
On the way home that night, Lin Baoer suddenly asked Lin Ruqian curiously, "Third brother, how much money have you made now?"
Lin Ruqian narrowed his eyes, smiled mysteriously, stretched out his fingers and shook them, pretending to be mysterious, "Buddha said, it cannot be said."
Lin Baoer curled her lips and snorted, "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it."
Even if he didn't say it, she could guess that Lin Ruqian had so many industries under his name. If you really counted, it is estimated that no one in Yanjing City is richer than him.
Happy days are always fleeting. After staying in the Lin Mansion for about half a month, Lin Baoer ushered in her birthday.
And after the birthday,
So on her birthday, Lin Baoer was rarely unhappy.
"Bao'er, it's okay." Shen Xuelan held Lin Bao'er in her arms, her tone gentle, "This year, mother and father will ask His Majesty to let Bao'er go home earlier, okay?"
"Okay."
Lin Bao'er buried in her arms and whispered, feeling very depressed.
It is difficult to go from luxury to simplicity, she has understood this truth.
The Lin Mansion did not make a grand celebration on her third birthday, and only invited some relatives and friends. However, many people wanted to curry favor with the Lin Mansion, so countless people took this opportunity to give gifts, and almost filled up the side courtyard.
Seeing so many gifts, Lin Bao'er's mood finally improved a lot. [Forget it, since we are here, we might as well make the best of it.
Let's go to the palace, and don't let mother and others worry. 】
After convincing herself like this, Lin Baoer threw herself into the birthday party held for her and had a great time.
"If there is anything missing inside, send Qinglian back to talk to mother. Don't be wronged no matter what happens, understand?" Shen Xuelan warned.
Lin Baoer nodded heavily, her heart slightly warm.
Although she had heard this more than once, she would feel warm every time, and felt that she was being thought of, which made her very satisfied.
When the time came, Lin Baoer got on the carriage, and Shen Xuelan stared at it for a long time. After
returning to Changqing Palace, Lin Baoer looked at this familiar yet unfamiliar deserted palace, and her high emotions suddenly leaked out, and she suddenly became listless.
"Fourth Miss, do you want to put these things in the study or the bedroom?"
Qinglian came over and motioned to Lin Baoer, and raised the things Shen Xuelan brought her.
They were all some warm items and small gadgets that she had received on her birthday before, so Shen Xuelan packed them all and brought them to her.
Seeing these, Lin Baoer pursed her lips and sighed, "The bedroom."
She didn't like to go to the study anyway, it was full of the Four Books and Five Classics, which looked boring.
As soon as she stepped into the bedroom, Lin Baoer caught a glimpse of pink in the corner out of the corner of her eyes.
Before she could say hello to Xiaofen, the green snake next to her "whoosh" and scurried over, making her laugh.
It is estimated that the happiest person to come back here should be the green snake, who can meet Xiaofen again.
The two snakes were as sticky as glue and crawled out along the wall.
After seeing the bed, Lin Baoer jumped up.
"Ah! I'm so tired!"
She didn't do anything, but she just felt extremely tired.
After another good sleep, Lin Baoer was woken up by Qinglian again.
"What's wrong?" She poked her head out of the quilt with a confused look on her face, wrapped herself tightly with the quilt, and her hair was messy.
"The Queen is here." Qinglian whispered.
"The Queen?" Lin Baoer was puzzled, "What is she doing here?"
Although she didn't know, she still got up from the bed, washed up again, and went to the front hall.
After seeing the familiar figure, Lin Baoer rubbed her face and tried to force a smile, "Baoer pays respects to the Empress~"
"Baoer is here."
The Queen smiled gently and helped her up, "Did I disturb Baoer's sleep?"
Lin Baoer blinked and shook her head, "How could that be? But why did the Empress come to Baoer's place? Did you miss Baoer?"
The Queen was amused by her and motioned to the palace maid to bring the things over, "It is true that I do, but the most important thing is that I am here to give you this belated birthday gift."
A box was presented to Lin Baoer. Lin Baoer opened it and found a pair of jewels inside that she couldn't describe.
"I couldn't attend the banquet on your birthday last year, so I can only give you a gift now."
"How can I feel good about this?" Lin Bao'er shook her head in embarrassment.
But even though she said so, she also took the gift neatly.
Don't be a fool if you have a gift, don't care what she thinks.
After chatting about family matters for a while, other people came.
After the Queen, it was Concubine Yun, and after that came the other concubines in the palace. Many of them were people that Lin Baoer had never met or heard of. They must have sent people to give gifts just to save face.
In the end, what surprised Lin Baoer was that Shen Ruyu also came.
"The fourth young lady's face has become more rosy since she went back." Shen Ruyu smiled and waved her handkerchief. "I heard that the fourth young lady has liked strange things since she was a child. It just so happened that His Majesty rewarded me with an item from the Western Regions a few days ago. It is very interesting. The fourth young lady should like it."
