After hearing what Lu Chenshuang said, Lin was no longer hesitant. No matter what the reason was for the War King to help them, it was never a bad thing.

This was Lin's first time entering the palace, and it was not yet dark, so every blade of grass and every tree in the palace was particularly clear.

The Lin family came from a merchant family, and Lu Zhan's previous rank was not high. This was the first palace banquet ordered by the emperor since Lu Zhan was promoted to Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Lu Chenshuang looked at Lin's curious expression and said, "Mom, Dad is now a third-rank minister of the Ministry of Revenue. In the future, you will have to go to the palace during festivals or the Emperor and the Empress Dowager's birthday celebrations.

I got used to it after waiting so many times."

Lin knew that her daughter was reminding her in disguise not to be overly curious so as to avoid being laughed at.

Although Lin didn't have much knowledge, she had been learning rules and etiquette since she came to Beijing.

So she still understands this point.

Lin smiled and replied, "Mother knows, I just think that the scenery in the palace is different now in the afterglow of the sunset. It won't be so clear at night."

Lu Chenshuang really didn't expect that Lin would have such a refined taste, and quickly agreed: "Hearing what mother said, I am superficial."

After Lu Chenshuang finished speaking, the mother and daughter looked at each other and laughed.

Soon they arrived at the banquet venue in a sedan chair.

This palace is called Cheng'en Hall, and it is where the royal family holds banquets.

This was also Lu Chenshuang’s first time visiting Cheng’en Hall. It was extremely spacious and could accommodate at least a thousand people.

As soon as they arrived, special palace servants came to guide them to their seats.

The seating arrangements at banquets in the imperial palace were very particular and were usually arranged according to the rank of the officials.

According to Lu Zhan's official position, he should be ranked in the middle and back, but Lu Chenshuang's position is much closer to the front.

Although it's not the front row, it's definitely a great seat.

Lin wanted to sit with her daughter, but she couldn't ask for it because the seat was arranged in advance in the palace.

Lin had no choice but to give Lu Chenshuang some instructions and ask her to be more careful.

Lu Chenshuang nodded in response and went to sit down in her seat.

The people around Lu Chenshuang are basically the families of first-rank officials.

To her left was the seat of Prime Minister Qu's daughter Qu Ceyang, and to her right was the seat of Ning Wan'er, the daughter of Duke Ningguo.

These two names are funny.

Qu Chengxiang, the head of the civil officials, named his daughter Ceyang, which means to spur a horse and whip it.

The Ningguo family has been a family of nobles for generations, and their ancestors followed the founding emperor in his campaigns across the country. Unexpectedly, they would name their descendant Wan'er.

As soon as Lu Chenshuang sat down, the two men looked at her curiously.

Qu Ceyang was lively and asked directly, "Are you the famous Dr. Lu in Beijing recently? Can you cure all diseases?"

Lu Chenshuang glanced at her and replied calmly: "Of course not."

Hearing this, Qu Ceyang curled his lips and said, "There are actually diseases that you can't cure, how can you be called a miracle doctor?"

This time, Lu Chenshuang didn't even raise her head and replied, "I am a miracle doctor, not a god. There's a saying that famous doctors can hardly cure brainless people!"

Qu Ceyang was not angry after hearing this, but just laughed twice.

Ning Wan'er on the side said sarcastically: "Fool, can't you hear that she is mocking you?"

Lu Chenshuang gave Ning Wan'er a meaningful look. This was someone who could stir up trouble. And it was a fair and aboveboard provocation.

Ning Wan'er couldn't help feeling guilty when she saw the way Lu Chenshuang looked at her.

Qu Ceyang said nonchalantly: "I think what Divine Doctor Lu said is right.

If she could cure any disease, how could there still be birth, aging, sickness and death? Wouldn’t the world be in chaos?”

After Qu Ceyang finished speaking, he looked at Lu Chenshuang and said, "My name is Qu Ceyang, which means riding a horse and waving a whip.

Doctor Lu, can we be friends? "

Lu Chenshuang didn't really have many friends in the capital, but Qu Ceyang had a good personality, so Lu Chenshuang replied, "Lu Chenshuang, it's an honor to be friends with Miss Qu."

Qu Ceyang said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, Dr. Lu, if you regard me as a friend, why do you still call me Miss Qu?"

Lu Chenshuang looked at her and raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Don't you always call me Doctor Lu?"

Qu Ceyang was stunned when he heard this, and then he burst into laughter.

Qu Ceyang was a natural socialite. He sat there and chattered non-stop, and Lu Chenshuang would occasionally join in a few words.

The two quickly became familiar with each other.

Ning Wan'er on the side tried to interrupt several times but was interrupted by Qu Ceyang every time.

Ning Wan'er was so upset that she wanted to flip the table, but she didn't dare to do so because it was a palace banquet. She could only endure it.

Fortunately, after a short while, all the officials and their families arrived.

Finally, the Emperor and Empress came out together with the Queen Mother.

Lu Chenshuang had no choice but to stand up and salute along with everyone else.

After three cheers of "Long live the emperor", the emperor asked everyone to stand up and take their seats.

Lu Chenshuang sat back in her seat.

Mu Hansu had already sat opposite Lu Chenshuang without knowing when. Lu Chenshuang looked at him in surprise.

No wonder her seat was so close to the front, it turned out she wanted to sit opposite him.

Lu Chenshuang felt deeply moved that it was really thoughtful.

Mu Hansu felt a little unhappy when he saw that Lu Chenshuang only noticed him at this time.

He had been sitting here for such a long time, but she just noticed herself.

He was chatting happily with the woman next to him. I don’t know who she is, but she is so ignorant.

Lu Chenshuang felt that there might be something wrong with her eyes. Why did she see a look of aggrieved on Mu Hansu's face? What was he aggrieved about? Was there anyone in the palace who would make him feel wronged?

Before Lu Chenshuang could react, Ning Wan'er at the side whispered, "Why do I feel like His Royal Highness the War King is always looking at us?"

Qu Ceyang curled his lips and said, "Ning Wan'er, don't be so conceited. It would be strange if our Dalin's God of War would like you."

Ning Wan'er blushed and said, "Qu Ceyang, please stop talking nonsense. When did I say that the prince was looking at me?"

Qu Ceyang asked again: "Is he looking at me? When did I become so charming?"

Ning Wan'er said disdainfully: "Qu Ceyang, have some shame? Why don't you take a piss and look in the mirror?"

When Qu Ceyang heard this, he became unhappy again, and the two of them kept going back and forth, neither giving in to the other.

Lu Chenshuang was afraid that the two of them would really start quarreling and be impolite in front of the emperor and the empress dowager.

So he stopped them and said, "Okay, both of you stop arguing.

Mu Hansu is not looking at you, nor is he looking at you, he is looking at me!"

After saying this, Lu Chenshuang chuckled twice.

Upon hearing this, Qu Ceyang and Ning Wan'er looked at Lu Chenshuang in a daze.

Finally, Qu Ceyang came to his senses and said, "I thought I was shameless enough, but I didn't expect you to be even more reckless than me.

We will be best friends from now on."

Lu Chenshuang: . . . . .

No one believes the truth these days?
