C75 (1/2)

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?”
