After the separation, the family had a lot of fish and meat every day, and the best was furious

"this......"

Shen Qingzhou: "Yes, this is the emperor's tutor. Although he has no real power, the emperor respects him very much.

If there are any important decisions in the court, Lord Jiang will have a seat at the table."

Lin Ting's guess today was indeed correct, but she didn't know whether Mr. Jiang would really take the advice she gave him to heart.

In fact, Lin Ting had been thinking about that idea for a long time. If it was really feasible, they would have to store food early in the next few years.

"I have a vague guess today, but the imperial examination is only a few days away. I won't bother you these days, but you should also take care of your health and don't work too hard."

As she spoke, Lin Ting took away the documents that Hua Yan needed her to handle, and the two of them worked hard in their own fields.

......

After half a month, Lin Ting was able to completely control Hua Yan in the capital, and Lin Lin still had about two months left. She was about to give birth, so after handing over Hua Yan, she also needed to have a good rest.

"Lin Ting, aren't you going to send Qingzhou to the exam room today?"

Lin Lin came to Huayan to pack her things. Early in the morning, she saw Lin Ting had already arrived at Huayan and had started to deal with Huayan's production matters.

"There are servants at home who will take him there. Even if I send him to the door, I can't help much."

Lin Lin supported her waist and walked in front of Lin Ting: "Based on what your brother-in-law and I know about Qingzhou, his knowledge is first-class, so don't worry too much."

Others might not be able to see it, but Lin Lin could tell at a glance that Lin Ting actually cared a lot about Shen Qingzhou's exam.

Even though she is fully devoted to her work now, the hidden worries are not easily seen by others.

"I'm not worried. How could you see me worried?"

Lin Lin didn't want to expose her, so she just raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Okay, don't worry, but your brother-in-law asked me to tell you something today."

Lin Ting looked up: "What?"

"When you first arrived in Beijing, didn't you ask your husband to submit the paperwork for you? The court was busy with the imperial examinations, so it delayed them quite a bit.

But yesterday, His Majesty suddenly summoned someone from the Ministry of Rites to question him, and they submitted your documents. If nothing unexpected happens, you may be summoned to the palace to meet Him in the next two days."

Lin Ting was a commoner, so her documents for entering the palace were naturally not taken seriously. Moreover, as it happened to be the time of the imperial examination, she was even more put at the back of the list.

Now that the imperial examination has begun, the people in the palace have breathed a sigh of relief for a while and now they think of her.

"I understand, sister. Thank my brother-in-law for me."

"Sister, His Majesty is very busy. Whether you meet him or not, it's best for you to get ready first!"

Going to the palace was just to express gratitude, which was not a big deal. Lin Lin was afraid that the emperor would not have time to see Lin Ting and would disappoint her, so she told her first that the emperor was busy.

"it is good!"

As expected, at noon, Lin Ting received news that the emperor summoned her to the palace today.

After receiving the news, Bailu and Xiaoman were busy all the time. Entering the palace was a big deal. They had to dress in accordance with court etiquette and also control themselves so as not to overstep the boundaries of the nobles.

"Madam, what do you think of these headgear?"

Xiaoman took out several sets of head ornaments and placed them in front of Lin Ting. Some were made of gold, some were made of silver, and some were made with pearls and velvet flowers.

Each set is exquisite, but the golden headpiece makes it look more luxurious and solemn.

But Lin Ting thought that as a businesswoman, it was best for her to be simple but still decent.

"Use the pearl hairpin set."

Xiaoman: “Yes!”

Early this morning, Shen Qingzhou went to the examination hall, and in the afternoon Lin Ting entered the palace. She never expected that these two things would happen on the same day.

Lin Ting was dressed neatly and rode in the carriage, holding the pearl hairpin on her head with one hand. She had been here for so long and had never worn such heavy jewelry.

"Madam, the headdress is a bit heavy, but you look really beautiful today, and your temperament is no less than those noble ladies."

Lin Ting is young to begin with, and with the care she receives from Huayan products, her skin is as white as cream, and her slight smile makes her look quite stunning.

"Bai Lu, are we almost at the palace gate?"

"Almost ma'am."

Lin Ting thought that they would have to wait a long time when they arrived at the palace gate, but unexpectedly, when they arrived at the palace gate, there was already a eunuch waiting there.

Seeing the carriage approaching, the eunuch stepped forward and bent down to ask, "Is that Madam Lin in the carriage?"

Xiaoman lifted the curtain of the carriage, and Lin Ting slowly got out of the carriage and nodded slightly to the eunuch.

"I, Lin Ting!"

The eunuch lowered his voice and said, "Madam Lin, please come with me. His Majesty is currently discussing matters with the General in the Imperial Study. He has heard that you are here and will take you directly to the Imperial Study."

The Imperial Study, isn’t that the emperor’s exclusive study?

And can Lin Ting, a first-class woman, go there?

She didn't care about it for the time being and followed her father-in-law into the palace, taking one step at a time. After seeing the emperor and thanking him, she came out.

The palace is majestic, with tall golden walls and guards standing firm. Walking through the palace gates, you can see the end as far as the eye can see.

When they reached the inner gate, Bailu and Xiaoman were blocked outside, and only Lin Ting followed the strange eunuch in front of him in.

When they reached the outside of the imperial study, the eunuch asked Lin Ting to wait outside the door while he went to report.

At the same time, there was another man standing outside the imperial study. The man was very young and wore a blue robe with python patterns. Anyone who could wear such a robe in the palace must be a prince.

Sure enough, the eunuch who led Lin Ting over walked up to the man and saluted him.

"Seventh Prince, His Majesty has important matters to discuss with Elder Jiang today. I'm afraid I won't be seeing you today. Please go back first."

Xiao Chu looked at the door of the imperial study, then turned to look at Lin Ting and asked the father-in-law beside him.

"Eunuch Liu, who is that?"

Eunuch Liu bent down, holding his whisk in both hands, and said, "This is Lin Ting from Wenzhu County, Madam Lin, who has come to thank His Majesty."

After Eunuch Liu answered Xiao Chu, he went in to report.

Xiao Chu looked at Lin Ting. These two words sounded familiar to him, but Lin Ting was just a nobody after all and was not worthy of his attention.

But now it seems that Lin Ting can enter the imperial study, which he cannot enter? This has to make him concerned.

"Your name is Lin Ting. Are you here to see the Emperor? Thank you for your kindness?"

Lin Ting used the etiquette she had learned and leaned towards Xiao Chu with her hands folded.

"I have met His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince. Your Majesty has granted me this house and farm, and I have come to express my gratitude."

Speaking of the bestowed house and farm, Xiao Chu finally remembered who Lin Ting was. She was the only one who received a house bestowed by the emperor as a commoner.

"I now remember that you are Madam Lin who first planted corn. No wonder my father came to see you in person."

Growing corn is a great achievement. Last year, the imperial court even planted the seeds in the north, which was a bumper harvest.

If we plant two more seasons this year, we can distribute the seeds nationwide.

But what puzzled Xiao Chu was that Lin Ting was a girl. Even if Lin Ting was summoned to the palace, she should be received by his mother or the queen!

Why would he bring her to the imperial study? This is a place that no one can enter except a few ministers.
