My bad father abandoned me, so I turned around and killed him

"Dad, Mom, it's getting late and the dew is heavy. Let's go to bed early! We have to go to the palace early!"

It was rare for the Prince to hear his son express concern, so he did not refuse him.

"Got it, you should go back and rest early too!"

"Ah."

After Feng Nanchen left, Prince Chen and his wife also came down from the roof and returned to their own courtyard.

They actually rested at the beginning.

But the couple lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

The couple then left the house and climbed onto the roof to get some fresh air.

New Year's Day.

As a court official, he entered the palace before dawn.

Lin Zhengping is no exception.

He put on armor that he hadn't worn for more than ten years, as if he had once again become the spirited god of war and general.

Lin Zhengfeng did not come back last night, so naturally he missed the opportunity to meet Lin Zhengping.

Perhaps in his mind, Lin Zhengping had already died, quietly in that basement.

There's no chance of ever seeing the light of day again.

Little did he know that today he was facing real disaster.

Lin Yaoyao went to bed late at night, but got up early.

Of course, she was forced to wake up early, not because she couldn't sleep.

Looking at the two naughty kids standing in front of her early in the morning and asking her for red envelopes, Lin Yaoyao wished she could raise her hand and give each of them a big bag.

Of course, she was just thinking about it.

She was indeed getting up.

She took out two thick red envelopes from her pillow, which she had prepared long ago.

One thousand taels per person, very fair.

What she didn't say was that her red envelopes were bigger and thicker, and there were several of them.

I was afraid these two naughty kids would cry...

"Here, one for each of you. Take them and go wash up and eat. You have to go to the palace later!"

Today, even Lin Youan will be brought into the palace.

Originally, Lin Yaoyao wanted to ask whether it would be inappropriate to bring Lin Youan into the palace?

Lin Zhengping told her directly, it’s just a child, who would have the time to care about so many things?

It might be good to follow him into the palace to see the world. Who knows, maybe there will be some opportunities later.

If he were to make friends with a young man from a noble family of similar age, or even a prince, he would be a help in his career in the future.

When Lin Yaoyao saw that no one else objected, she knew that this was not a big deal and stopped worrying about it.

Just by looking at the two guys' disheveled clothes and messy hair, you can tell that they came here as soon as they got up.

He really cares about red envelopes but not face.

Normally, these two children are more precocious than the other and rarely show such childish side.

"Thank you, sister. I'll go wash up and eat now!"

"Thank you, elder sister. Nianzhi will leave soon."

After seeing off the two naughty kids, Lin Yaoyao also got up.

The first meal of the New Year is eaten in the main courtyard.

Logically speaking, we should go to the old lady's Fu Shou Yuan and have meals with the old lady, the oldest elder.

But the old lady took into consideration Qu Manrong's poor health and took the initiative to suggest that they go to the main courtyard together.

Although she is old, she is in good health.

Now that his heart disease had healed, everything was naturally fine, and he could even run around the mansion twice.

But it’s much better than Qu Manrong’s terrible health.

After breakfast, everyone went back to the courtyard to change into palace clothes and prepare to go to the palace to pay homage together.

After entering the palace, the ceremony was cumbersome and complicated, and one almost had to kowtow and kneel all the way.

Lin Yaoyao secretly thanked herself for wearing a knee brace, otherwise her knee might have been swollen.

Her small body can't stand the hard work.

Qu Manrong was luckier. She didn't know how Lin Zhengping communicated with the emperor, but she was led to the Queen's Palace to rest early.

Lin Yaoyao and her group were led by the old lady and had been paying homage all the way since the moment they entered the palace.

Those of them who were of higher status had it better off. They could give some money to the eunuch who was serving them and even get a cushion to sleep on.

Even if those people behind wanted to give them money, these eunuchs would look down on them.

When the ceremony was finally over, Lin Yaoyao looked at the watch in her space and realized that two hours had almost passed!

Exciting!

Entering the palace is really not something that ordinary people can afford. I don’t know why those people are so eager to squeeze into the palace?

She didn't want to anyway.

No blessing to enjoy.

Her ideal life state is to be an ordinary rich woman and not compete with anyone.

Before they could sit down, a palace servant came over and said that the Queen wanted to see them.

Lin Yaoyao and her group had never been to the palace, so it was natural for them to wait for the old lady's opinion.

Anyway, they followed the old lady wherever she went.

Seeing the old lady get up and follow, Lin Yaoyao and the others followed.

Lin Ru also entered the palace today.

This was her first time entering the palace.

In the past, whether as a maid or a concubine, she was not qualified to enter the palace.

She had been accustomed to being cautious for half her life, and when she arrived at a solemn place like the palace, she was even more trembling with fear.

Now following them, he was like a quail, not even as good as the two children.

The old lady also knew her temper and did not blame her, but she just thought that she should ask someone to teach her.

Nianzhi's career will definitely be smooth, and as his mother, Lin Ru must change and stand on her own feet.

Not to mention how well you have to learn, but you still have to pretend to be the majesty of the mistress of the house!

She couldn't bring shame to Nianzhi, nor could she let her daughter-in-law take over her in the future.

This is what the old lady is worried about.

When they arrived at the Queen's Palace, Qu Manrong was sitting alone in a side hall with no one guarding her.

Tea, snacks and refreshments were all prepared, and she felt quite comfortable on her own.

Seeing the old lady and her group coming, she finally felt a little relieved.

To be honest, even as a marquis' wife, she never received such treatment before.

That's why she was feeling uneasy.

In order to relieve her nervousness, she only dared to drink some tea and absolutely dared not touch any snacks.

Seeing someone familiar now, I naturally felt a lot more relaxed.

"Mom, Yaoyao, you are here."

"Just sit down and we'll do it ourselves. You don't need to do anything."

"Hey!"

When the old lady saw the situation in the side hall, she knew that the Queen must have given the order to give their family peace and quiet for Lin Zhengping's sake.

If she were to stay by his side, she would feel uncomfortable.

"If you are hungry, eat some snacks to fill your stomach. You should be more restrained at the palace banquet later."

Of course, even if you don’t want to restrain yourself, you can’t actually eat anything.

When those things were served, they were already almost cold.

Only high-ranking court officials, envoys from afar, and the emperor and empress could eat something hot.

Forget about the ministers' wives and the like.

A cup of hot tea would be nice.
