After remarrying with my mother, I walked across the capital by hugging my thigh

Chapter 226 The First Hurdle

"Even Wu Fu said so, it seems that it is really good, so let's go for this set!"

Lin Youyi took Xing'er and Wufu to choose matching jewelry for a while, and then she rested contentedly.

On the day of the Empress Dowager's birthday, Xiao Yu'an came to Shi Ruxuan's gate early in the morning, waiting to enter the palace with Lin Youyi.

Xing'er took a new cloak, walked into the house from the outside, and when she saw Lin Youyi, she was blessed.

"Miss, the Eldest Young Master is here. He is waiting outside. He said that he wants to take you into the palace with him to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday."

"How can I use him? If he doesn't enter the palace with Lord Hou, what is he doing here?"

Lin Youyi curled her lips ungratefully, she was straight, she spread her arms, and let Wufu dress her up.

When Xing'er heard Lin Youyi's question, she couldn't help covering her mouth and chuckling.

"Miss, on the way back from taking the cloak just now, I heard the young master scolding Miss Biao back! The young master asked Miss Biao to enter the palace with the eldest lady and the second lady. If not, then she will find a way to enter the palace by herself." Gong. You are left, but Miss Biao is not allowed to provoke you."

What Xing'er said was true, just now, she overheard Xiao Yu'an scolding Zhang Miaozhen by accident.

In order to save some trouble and avoid directly hitting the scene of Xiao Yuan reprimanding Zhang Miaozhen, Xing'er spared the way.

Only then did he trot all the way, almost delaying Lin Youyi's time to go out.

"He still has some conscience."

Lin Youyi read aloud to herself.

Thinking about it, Xiao Yu'an also knew that Xiao Qinyao and Xiao Muxue would never wait for Lin Youyi to enter the palace together.

And it is better not to have a companion like Zhang Miaozhen.

Therefore, Xiao Yu'an took the initiative to solve Zhang Miaozhen's annoying worries for Lin Youyi, and accompanied her into the palace.

When Lin Youyi was fully dressed and ready to go out, she became a little nervous for no reason.

Lin Youyi couldn't help but took a deep breath, raised her hand subconsciously, and gently stroked the shiny front hair on the cuff of the cloak.

As soon as she saw it, she saw the pair of jade bracelets that Xiao Yu'an had "entrusted" with her, which were shining on her wrists.

Lin Youyi didn't know why, but there was such a moment of rebellion in her heart.

She took off the pair of jade bracelets on her wrists and handed them to Xing'er.

"Miss, do you not wear this pair of bracelets into the palace today?"

"Well, put it away, be careful, Xiao Yu'an seems to value this pair of jade bracelets very much, don't make any mistakes."

"Yes, slaves must be cautious."

After Xing'er responded, Lin Youyi brought Wufuyi into the palace.

When he arrived at Donghuamen, Xiao Yu'an had to go to the front court first, and later he would accompany the emperor and his ministers to visit the Empress Dowager and congratulate the Empress Dowager on her birthday.

And Lin Youyi, along with a group of housekeepers and female relatives, went to Changning Palace to wait for the birthday banquet to start.

"Then take care of yourself, and I'll go to the imperial court first to stand by."

"Ah."

Lin Youyi responded lightly, without a trace of superfluous expression on her face.

She couldn't tell why, but she had an inexplicable feeling that Xiao Yu'an seemed a little too nervous today.

Could it be that Xiao Yuan knew something?
The moment this idea popped up in Lin Youyi's heart, she couldn't help raising her head, and looked at Xiao Yu'an with hesitant eyes for a moment.

"you……"

"What's wrong with me?"

Xiao Yu'an suddenly became nervous, and hurriedly asked Lin Youyi.

Lin Youyi shook her head lightly, but still asked tentatively.

"It's nothing! I just feel that you are acting strange today! It seems that you are afraid that I will be caught by an eagle!"

"Hahaha, silly girl, a brother loves his sister, and he should be meticulous! However, what you said is not bad, I am just afraid that you, a little chick, will bump around in a daze, and then let the eagle catch it, so where should I go?" Find a sister as good as you?!"

While Xiao Yu'an was speaking, he stretched out his hand with a smile on his face, and just about to touch Lin Youyi's head, she quickly dodged away vigilantly.

"Master Hou has been away for a long time, why don't you go to the court room?"

"It's time to leave, then you remember, take care of yourself."

After Xiao Yu'an finished speaking, he turned around and strode away.

Right now, from Xiao Yuan's expression, Lin Youyi can be sure that he probably doesn't know anything.

In this way, Lin Youyi can also feel relieved.

Originally, Lin Youyi was not qualified to kowtow to the queen mother for her birthday.

However, with the recommendation of Mu Zheng and Concubine Xiao, and the support of the third prince, the Empress Dowager did not object, and allowed Lin Youyi to come and pay homage.

The Queen Mother didn't know if it was because she was in a good mood today, or some other reason.

Rarely, when seeing Lin Youyi again this time, the queen mother also felt that this girl looked much more pleasing to the eye.

"My daughters respectfully wish the Empress Dowager, as constant as the moon, as rising as the sun. As long as Nanshan's life, neither dying nor dying. Like the luxuriance of pines and cypresses, everything will be inherited."

"Raise your head and let Aijia take a look."

Lin Youyi raised her head slowly, but her brows and eyes were still drooping, and she kept her duty, not daring to look at the Empress Dowager.

"Well, you look pretty, delicate and pleasant, no wonder Concubine Xiao and Ai's family always praise you."

"The posture of Puliu, the minister's daughter, has been wrongly loved by Concubine Xiao, and dare not accept the praise of Empress Dowager."

The Empress Dowager picked up the teacup leisurely, took a sip, and glanced at Mu Zheng unconsciously.

Fortunately, Mu Zheng retracted his gaze just now, instead of staring at Lin Youyi with burning eyes as before.

Otherwise, just that one look from him would have to arouse the Queen Mother's anger.

"The birthday gift you prepared for Ai's family, Ai's family likes it very much, you have a heart."

"My daughter dare not take credit for it. My daughter just came up with an idea. In fact, it was all my father who helped me. The empress dowager will extend her age, and the blessings are boundless. My daughter is just doing her best to make things better."

"You are not very old, and you know the rules in your speech and behavior. It can be seen that the Marquis of Chengyang is good at teaching daughters. Come on, stop kneeling, and go to Concubine Xiao."

After Lin Youyi thanked her, she lowered her eyebrows and walked to Concubine Xiao's side to stand.

Concubine Xiao took Lin Youyi's hand and patted it, and asked softly.

"I know you were wronged a few days ago, are you feeling better now?"

"Thanks to Concubine Xiao's blessing, the little girl's body is already in good shape."

"That's good! That's good!"

The Empress Dowager first accepted the worship of the emperor and officials, and then the concubines and wives, and then entered the banquet.

Before the banquet, Wu Fu leaned over to Lin Youyi's ear and whispered a few words.

"Miss, at the banquet, there will be a dish of shredded duck stuffed with dried ginger. You must not eat it."

"Why? That dish...could it be poisoned?"
