The capital is a melon field, I happily eat melons

The one who suffered the most shame at this morning court session was the Third Prince.

When he was leaving court, many people looked at him with an indescribable look, which made him depressed.

"Why are they looking at me like that? What's wrong with me using some tricks to find a wife?"

The third prince was very dissatisfied with the way these people looked at him. He felt that he had done nothing wrong.

The Crown Prince and the Second Prince moved their mouths as if they wanted to say something but stopped themselves, and in the end they could only pat him on the shoulder.

as long as you are happy.

After Lin Mo came home from court, he went straight to bed.

"No, no, I need to take a nap. Don't wake me up before dinner."

System: [Why are you still taking a nap? Do you want us to go out for a walk? There are actually a lot of melons in the capital. ]

Lin Ran, who came to see Lin Mo, stopped immediately.

The system continued: [The gossip in the capital may be more exciting than the gossip in the court. Go out and take a look so that I can collect some energy. You don’t do any work, so why would you be tired just standing there every day? ]

Lin Mo was not satisfied with what she heard. What did she mean by she didn't do any work? Eating melons also consumes a lot of brain cells.

[Just let me sleep for a while. After lunch, I will take you out for a walk. I will also bring my elder sister with me. My elder sister often goes out to attend banquets. I will take you out for a walk if there is a banquet in the afternoon.]

When the system heard this, it cheered: [Great! Banquets are usually places where accidents happen frequently! There’s more to eat!]

Lin Ran outside: …

What do you mean banquets are usually places where accidents happen most often? She has attended countless banquets over the years and has never seen any major incidents.

At most, it was just an affair, falling into the water, framing, and poisoning. No, the more I think about it, it seems like there are quite a lot of things that happened.

"What! You said she was going out this afternoon?"

Minister Lin and Madam Lin felt mixed emotions when they heard that Lin Mo was going out.

"No, we must not let her go out alone. There are countless people in the capital who want to kill her. Many corrupt officials are afraid that she will expose their affairs, so they will definitely find a chance to kill her."

"Although the emperor said that he has sent people to protect her in secret, there will inevitably be loopholes."

Although his little daughter is very pitiful, no matter how pitiful she is, she is still his child, and he will never let his child put in danger.

You may be protected in your own home. The emperor has sent secret guards to protect you, and there are guards at home. Ordinary people cannot enter.

But it’s not certain after you get out.

Lin Ran knew her parents would not agree, so she said with some embarrassment: "How am I going to reject her later? I have to find an excuse to stop her from going out all of a sudden."

The family of three thought about this issue of excuses, and Lin Qi also joined in on this issue after returning from school.

Seeing that the four members of this family were about to scratch their hair bald, the secret guard hiding in the dark couldn't help but show up.

"Well, Master Lin and Madam Lin, we have already checked that the system on Master Xiaolin has a protective function, which means it can protect Master Xiaolin. Even we dare not get too close to Master Xiaolin, so you can rest assured."

The four Lin family members: ...Then why didn't you say anything when we were trying to find a solution? You just wanted to watch our show, right?

At noon, Lin Mo discussed with the system where to go while eating.

[Actually, you don’t have to go to the party. I’ll take you for a stroll on the street. Sometimes, gossip about other people’s homes is quite interesting.]

System: [Can't we have both? Let's go to the banquet first and then go shopping on the way back. It's the best of both worlds! ]

Lin Mo: [It’s not impossible, but it seems that there is a banquet at someone’s house today. It seems to be the banquet of the daughter of the Changning Marquis family. I don’t know her very well, but she has a good relationship with my eldest sister.]

The four members of the Lin family listened to this unified conversation, and their hearts were basically numb.

Suddenly, the system exclaimed: [Host! I really detected a big melon! It’s the big melon of Miss Changning Hou! She held this banquet for a purpose! ]

Lin Mo asked quickly: [What is your purpose? Tell me quickly! ]

The others also listened with their ears tilted; the system really piqued their curiosity.

System: [It’s hard to say now. I’ll tell you in detail after we go to the banquet. It will be more powerful if you speak to the person involved, and you will feel more involved.]

Lin Mo thought about it and seemed to agree. It wouldn’t matter if he waited a little longer.

Minister Lin and his wife Lin Qi screamed in their hearts: We want to hear it! We won't go to the banquet if you guys go!

Lin Qi glanced at his two sisters, but curiosity eventually overcame everything.

"It's not good for you two girls to go out like this. What if something happens at the party? Why don't I take you with me?"

Lin Qi spoke righteously, as if he really cared about them.

Mrs. Lin, the wife of Minister Lin, looked at her son with thick eyebrows and big eyes and didn't know what to say.

No, when did you become so shameless! Don't you still have to study in the afternoon?

Lin Ran also looked at his elder brother with a complicated expression. I didn't expect you to be such a elder brother. Eating melons is more important to you than studying, right?

Lin Mo didn't think much about it. It didn't matter if there was one more person or one less person, as long as it didn't affect her eating of melons.

"Okay, then big brother will come with us."

Madam Lin said quickly, "Why don't I go with you? It just so happens that I have some friendship with the wife of Marquis Changning, and there are many ladies attending the banquet. It would be boring for me to stay at home alone, so I might as well go and make some connections with everyone."

Minister Lin looked at his wife in shock: So you're just going to leave me alone at home, right? What should I do if you all leave?

As an official appointed by the imperial court, he certainly could not attend such a banquet in the harem. Those who attended were basically the ladies and young ladies in the harem and those unmarried young men. This kind of banquet was also an important occasion for blind dates, so many unmarried young men would be brought there by their mothers.

Basically, no head of the family ever goes there, and it would be a bit out of place for a grown man like you to mingle among this group of people.

In the end, only Minister Lin was left at home. Looking at the backs of his wife, son and daughter, Minister Lin shed a tear of bitterness in his heart.

He also wants to go and see the fun!

On the carriage to Changning Marquis' Mansion, Lin Mo felt inexplicably excited.

She rarely attended such banquets. She didn't like dealing with those noble ladies. She preferred to mingle with ordinary people and listen to trivial matters.

I didn't expect that this time when I officially dealt with them, I would end up eating melons.
