He didn't even take his cape. Just now, on the way, only Peony held up an umbrella and hurried over, but now, his shoulders are covered with snow, and his lips are black with cold. He didn't care about anything, "Sister Shu, Sister Shu, are you entering the palace tomorrow?"

After getting scolded by the Grand Madam a few times, the rearing mama had become much more obedient. Now, he had used the chance to drink some tea to retreat.

Lin Shu called Actinin Qin over and brought a dry handkerchief over. She carefully brushed away the snow on her mother's shoulders and said softly: "If I knew that you would be in such a hurry to come here, I might as well have rushed over to Fanghua Garden. The weather has suddenly turned cold, what would you have done if you had caught a cold?"

Saying that, she paused, "Tomorrow, I will follow Grandmother into the palace, so you don't have to worry, everything will be fine. No matter how bold Princess Changze is, what can he do to me in the palace? With so many pairs of eyes staring at her, if she were to be careless for even a moment, her reputation will not be preserved. "

If she were to reveal her conjecture, it would inevitably cause her mother to worry, so she might as well just wait until tomorrow before finding out.

Madam Lian sneered, "Do you think your grandmother is someone you can rely on? I believe you have heard about the marriage between me and your father. Even though your grandmother disagreed on the surface, if she really wanted to oppose it, she could have just went and found your grandfather. Even if your grandfather wanted to climb up to the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, it would have been impossible for the marriage to happen. "

"She's used to doing things like wanting to set up a memorial archway and being a whore. I'm afraid that the empress dowager or Princess Changze might have given her some benefits. She's the first to sell you out …" No, I want to make a trip to the Green Pine Academy, and I want to follow you to the palace tomorrow.

Lin Shu immediately pulled her back, "Mother, don't be in such a hurry, even if Grandmother did not truly think for us, it was for the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion. Otherwise, after the marriage between you and Father was set, how could you pretend to be wronged! I presume tomorrow is the same, the first person in the palace is all intelligent, if Grandmother had even the slightest intention of selling our 5th house, wouldn't she drown Grandmother in saliva? "When we're outside, Grandmother will definitely be on our side."

The Madam Lian shook her head and whispered, "But I still feel uneasy …"

"You should just put your heart back in your stomach and wait for me to come back tomorrow." Lin Shu tried to persuade her, but she finally managed to persuade Madam Lian to go back.

The rearing nurse came in again to help her pick out clothes and jewelry, and even what kind of handkerchief she was going to use tomorrow.

After working so hard for the greater half of the night, Lin Shu finally fell asleep.

Waiting until the second day, before Actinin Qin came in to call her, she had already woken up. She washed up and after using only a few pastries, she used a Herbal Tea Egg to go to Green Pine Academy.

Last night, the rearing mama had told her that she couldn't even drink a single sip of water before entering the palace. If she waited until Esteemed Empress Dowager asked if she wanted to use the toilet, that would be against the rules. Even if she was extremely thirsty, she could only take a small sip to quell her thirst.

After getting on the carriage, Lin Shu only felt that it was shaky. Originally, she would normally take about an hour to get there, but because of the heavy snow, it took him two hours to reach the entrance of the imperial city.

Esteemed Empress Dowager had long since sent two warm palanquins to wait at the imperial city's gates, but now they were directly sent to Tzu Ning Palace.

The Tzu Ning Palace was still as majestic and beautiful as in Lin Shu's memories, but the thing that was different from her previous life, which was that she was neither humble nor haughty, and followed closely behind Grand Madam.

Inside the side hall, Empress Dowager Wang was sitting on the brick bed, beside him was Princess Changze who was accompanying him in talking. No one knew what Princess Changze was talking about, but they all laughed out loud.

Grand Madam and Lin Shu then entered, and went forward to pay their respects. Empress Dowager Wang only squinted his eyes, and said, "I was rude, and only wanted to invite you two to the palace to talk with me, and even forgot what day it is, I originally thought you two would only arrive at noon, and didn't expect you guys to come so early!"

Lin Shu maintained a smile on her face the entire time, and looked at Empress Dowager Wang. Empress Dowager Wang was always kind, and before he even spoke, his smile was revealed.

But to judge a person by his appearance was the stupidest thing in the world. Didn't Grand Madam also look like a kind person?

The Grand Madam quickly clasped his hands. "Where did Esteemed Empress Dowager say those words? You inviting us to the palace is the blessing of Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, you can't even rejoice in time, let alone delay it, who knows how much you have in your heart! "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Esteemed Empress Dowager for almost a year. Esteemed Empress Dowager is still the same as last time."

"I'm old, I'm old. This one is old, I don't even know how much more white hair there is on my head. If you don't believe me, you can just ask Zhang Ze!" The Empress Dowager Wang smiled. He squinted his eyes and looked at the Grand Madam and said in surprise: "I said I am old. Why do I see that you are so much older than before?"

The Grand Madam smiled slightly. "A while ago, I was sick. It was all thanks to Esteemed Empress Dowager's blessing. Now, I'm pretty much fully recovered."

"How can he be sick when he's just fine?" You are the current Patriarch of the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, and you are the one who is in charge of everything. It looked like Empress Dowager Wang was talking to Grand Madam, but his gaze was focused on Lin Shu from time to time, "The pretty girl beside you is Assistant Minister Lin's daughter?"

Lin Shu went forward to pay her respects again.

Empress Dowager Wang waved at her and said lovingly: "This Dowager is old, and my eyes aren't good. Come over and let This Dowager take a look."

Lin Shu walked forward step by step until she was in front of the empress dowager and Princess Changze. She could even see the mocking smile on Princess Changze's lips.

Empress Dowager Wang held her hand and could not help but say: "He is a painful girl. This one has heard people say that the Assistant Minister Lin is a beautiful man from our Daqing Dynasty, but this one is in the harem, and only I have seen him once or twice when he was young have I forgotten how he looks like! Seeing this girl today, those people must not have been lying … "Although this girl is still young, his eyebrows have yet to open. If I wait a few more years, I'm afraid the ones who are going to propose marriage will step on the threshold of your Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion and break it …"

Grand Madam could only laugh as he looked at Lin Shu, "You, ah, truly praise her too much. In the future, it will take me a few years to see how she will look. It's just that this woman's most important point is to be respectful and virtuous, that's the blessing of a lifetime."

When the Empress Dowager Wang was first taken as an imperial concubine, they had been repeatedly praised by the late emperor to be "respectful, obedient, virtuous, and virtuous".

Empress Dowager Wang was grinning from ear to ear, "That's true, waiting for the man to be submissive and virtuous is the most important thing. At that time, it would be the Fu Family's fortune. I heard that Sister Jia's sister, Sis Hui'er, is also very generous and sensible. This Second Madam's daughter, This Dowager has also heard Mrs. Jiang mention his daughter before, and he is also very clever. This Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion is truly a precious land, and there are a few princes and young ladies of similar age here! "

Forget about Grand Madam, even Lin Shu felt her eyebrows jump, does Empress Dowager Wang intend to choose a Crown Princess from the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion?

This … this was a gift from the heavens.

As expected, Grand Madam had a happy expression on his face, while Princess Changze beside her threw her a meaningful smile.

It was only now that Grand Madam truly understood how much weight Princess Changze held in his heart. Originally, Empress Dowager Wang probably did not even know how many rooms there were in the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, but now, even a few ladies in the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion were present. If it were not Princess Changze, who else could it be?

She finally understood why even the Empress Zhang was slightly afraid of the Princess Changze.

Furthermore, Empress Dowager Wang was born in a noble family, so the two of them did not like each other. Once, Empress Zhang merely scolded Princess Changze for not having enough manners and reprimanding him a few times, which resulted in Empress Dowager Wang not having to pay respects for a month.

Initially, Grand Madam thought that all of this was just an exaggeration, but looking at it now, he was 70% sure that it was true. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Lin Pei had made the right choice.

With Princess Changze here, how could he be afraid that the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion would not be able to protect the wealth of today? Not only would he be rich now, but he was afraid that in the future, the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion would be even richer.

Although Empress Dowager Wang's eyes weren't too good, they were still women who climbed up the throne step by step from the palace maids back then. One could even tell from Grand Madam's tone of voice that she was happy or unhappy. The ladies of Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion are outstanding, I only found out from Chang Ze's words. Chang Ze said that the concubine of your Fifth Branch looks like a flower, and her voice sounded like that of an oriole, not to mention this legitimate young lady. Now that I have met her, it's true that this is the case, but now that I think about it, the Fourth Miss is even prettier looking than Changze when he was young. "

To be honest, Princess Changze's life was not considered good. His usual bearing was only caused by his clothes, accessories and the majesty of the imperial family. But when Empress Dowager Wang said that she was born well, why would others dare to say no? I wish I could say that Princess Changze looks like a fairy.

Lin Shu hastily said in a soft voice, "Esteemed Empress Dowager speaks highly of me …"

"This Dowager didn't praise you!" Empress Dowager Wang only felt that he liked the little girl the more he saw his, and that everything was born from his heart, which wasn't wrong at all. Some of the girls had worldly wisdom on their faces, while some of the girls had pride in their beauty, but the young lady in front of his looked like a clover, and the more he looked, the more he liked the little girl, and the more he liked his, the more he felt that Princess Changze's method was feasible, "If you look carefully, fourth miss's nose is quite similar to Chang Ze's.

It was not pleasant to say that a girl had a dog's nose, but from Empress Dowager Wang's words, it became praise.
