The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

The Queen hasn't been out for more than ten years. She hardly even sees the Crown Prince. Now the Emperor is actually going to ask the Queen if she wants to leave the palace to attend Prince Jin's wedding banquet.

The queen didn't even come out of the Buddhist temple, let alone leave the palace.

Eunuch Qin felt that this matter was unlikely to succeed.

But since the emperor had given the order, he naturally had no choice but to obey.

He first served the emperor in the morning court.

The focus of today's morning court discussion was also the wedding of Prince Jin.

Before, many ministers were nervous and didn't know whether to go or not. They thought they understood the emperor's thoughts and were guessing his intentions. They thought that if they didn't go, the wedding at the Prince of Jin's Mansion would be deserted, and the emperor might be secretly happy.

So everyone has all kinds of little thoughts.

None of the ministers had expected that as soon as the emperor sat down in court today, the first thing he said was, "My dear ministers, if there is nothing important tomorrow, please go to the Prince of Jin's mansion to have some fun and drink in the Prince of Jin's wedding wine."

"Of course, everyone should say more festive and positive things, but don't cause trouble for Prince Jin, otherwise I will not forgive you."

Before the ministers could react, the emperor said another sentence.

"Those who have offended King Jin before and whom he dislikes should not go there. They should have some self-awareness."

When Mr. Chen heard this, he almost laughed out loud.

He couldn't help but look at Prime Minister Shen, then at Elder Shu, and then at the colleagues who had been mercilessly criticized by the Prince of Jin before. He sighed and said, "Your Majesty is right. Some people should have self-awareness."

Of course, Lord Chen didn't say this out loud at all.

He just took two steps towards Lin Rong and spoke specifically for Lin Rong to hear.

After he finished speaking, he nudged Lin Rong with his elbow and asked him, "Master Lin, are you right?"

Lin Rong glanced at him and did not answer.

Lord Chen lowered his voice again and said to him, "Lord Lin, my wife will also attend the wedding tomorrow, but she hasn't met Prince Jin and Miss Lu very often. Madam Lin and Miss Yanran are more familiar with them. Please tell Madam Lin and Miss Yanran to take good care of my wife when the time comes."

After Lord Chen finished speaking, he sighed and said, "Ah, in an occasion like that, I'm afraid I'll have to help the prince block the wine. If I'm not with my wife at that time, I wonder if she will feel lonely and uncomfortable."

Lin Rongrong couldn't stand it anymore.

"Do you believe what Master Chen said? Madam Chen's behavior and etiquette are much more appropriate than Master Chen's. Instead of worrying about her, you should be careful not to get drunk and say something wrong, and then Madam Chen will have to cover for you."

Eh......

Lord Chen glared at Lin Rong, took two steps back, snorted, and looked like he was angry and didn't want to talk to him anymore.

Lin Rong's way of speaking is just unpleasant.

Is he the kind of man who needs his wife to clean up the mess?

Censor Lin, who was standing behind them, looked them over and shook his head.

He was just going to a wedding to have a drink, why was there any need to worry about this or that? Anyway, he was prepared. When the time came, he would not drink a drop of alcohol. He would just keep an eye on the ministers. If anyone drank too much and talked nonsense, he would go to court the next day. If there was something else to do, he would just criticize them for their impoliteness.

Censor Lin thought secretly.

Other ministers also said a few words about this matter.

Everyone didn't know what the emperor was planning, so they didn't dare to say anything. However, since the emperor had ordered it, they naturally had to go to Prince Jing's mansion tomorrow. Those ministers who hadn't received the wedding invitation before also went back to think about it. Even if Prince Jin didn't invite them, they still had to send their gifts.

However, some people did think that they didn’t need to go if they didn’t receive a wedding invitation, and they didn’t prepare any gifts.

After the court session, everyone rushed to find suitable gifts.

As a result, there was quite a stir in the capital. Shop owners like Jibaozhai took out their treasured items for the guests to choose from.

Therefore, the people in the capital who had no idea what would happen tomorrow now knew everything. They all knew that Prince Jin was getting married and all the officials in the court would be mobilized.

After the court session, Eunuch Qin followed the imperial order and went to the Buddhist temple to ask for an audience with the Empress. The Empress was somewhat surprised when she heard Nanny Huan's report.

She has been living in seclusion in the Buddhist temple for so many years, and the emperor has sent people to look for her only a few times. Why is he sending Eunuch Tan here now?

The queen originally thought that she would be calm, but unexpectedly she still found it difficult to calm down.

The Buddhist beads in her hand stopped spinning. She looked outside the door and couldn't help but ask, "Did Eunuch Qin come alone?"

When Nanny Huan heard the Queen's words, she knew what she meant by this question was—

Your Majesty, are you here too?

Nanny Huan lowered her head slightly and replied softly, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Qin came alone, but he is indeed following the Emperor's orders. Your Majesty, would you like to go out and see him now?"

The Queen paused, sighed, and said, "Since I don't need to see that person, I will go and listen to what Eunuch Tan has to say. Back then, Eunuch Tan treated me with sincerity."

Nanny Huan understood that the Queen's words were probably a way for her to save face, so that people wouldn't think that she had hurried out to meet the Emperor when she heard he had sent someone to look for her.

So many years have passed, but the Queen still can't let it go and is not as calm as she appears.

Before leaving, the Queen Mother asked Nanny Huan to tidy up her appearance and change her clothes.

Eunuch Qin was waiting outside the Buddhist temple.

Hearing footsteps, he looked up and saw the Queen, whom he had not seen for many years, wearing a goose yellow dress, walking towards him with a straight posture and steps like a lotus.

Someone who could give birth to a man as strikingly handsome as the Crown Prince must have been exceptionally beautiful. The Empress's appearance and demeanor were already among the best in the palace.

Eunuch Qin felt a little emotional when he saw that the Empress had not aged much after so many years.

If the Empress had not been angry with the Emperor and had not hidden in this Buddhist temple, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would probably have several brothers and sisters who were born from the same mother, and he would not be so lonely and helpless.

On this matter, Eunuch Qin and Prince Jin had the same idea.

The Empress has narrowed her own path, making life very difficult for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince these past few years. As an empress, or as a mother, the Empress is actually unqualified.

But as a eunuch, he had no right to say such words.

"Your servant greets Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty be well and at peace."

Eunuch Qin quickly knelt down and bowed deeply to the Queen.

"Please stand up, eunuch." The Queen raised her hand slightly, her tone calm, "This palace doesn't care about these things anymore."
