There was some wisdom and expectation in the old lady's eyes. This was the first time that her grandson brought a famous girl back home.

At first glance, she seemed a little thin, as if she would fly away in a gust of wind.

The old lady looked at her grandson lovingly, waved gently towards Lin Wanwan, and said in a steady and loving voice: "Good boy, come here and let me take a look."

Lin Wanwan smiled lightly and walked up to the old lady.

The old lady stretched out her hands and held her, her eyes calm and deep, staying on her for a long time, and then a kind smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Eat more. You're a little thin."

Lin Wanwan's smile showed respect: "Madam, this medicine was made by Lord Ouyang himself. It has the effect of nourishing blood and calming the mind."

The old lady had a loving smile on her face. She nodded slightly, her eyes wandering over Lin Wanwan and she said, "Oh? Was it made by my Yu'er himself?"

Lin Wanwan nodded and smiled faintly: "Yes."

Ouyang Qingyu quickly put the spoon close to his grandmother's mouth and fed her in small sips.

The old lady smiled kindly and said, "Okay, okay."

At this time, the scent of sandalwood in the Buddhist hall became stronger and stronger, as if it was also witnessing this special meeting.

After drinking the medicine, the prescription given by the system really worked. The old lady actually felt sleepy and fell asleep soon.

[System prompt: Mission completed, health +10 days, a total of 23 days, 7 hours and 30 minutes]

Ouyang Qingyu and Lin Wanwan retreated from the Buddhist hall.

Before Ouyang Qingyu could say anything, Lin Wanwan said, "It's getting late. Send me to the palace to attend the Queen Mother's Thousand Years Banquet."

Ouyang Qingyu paused for a moment and reminded, "Today's Queen Mother's Thousand Years Banquet is different from previous years. The Yunhai Kingdom will send three envoys today to escort their hostages and come for the marriage."

Lin Wanwan seemed not to hear and walked towards the door of the Vice Minister of Justice's residence.

Ouyang Qingyu looked at her back: ...

Lin Wanwan would naturally go to such occasions.

First of all, there must be handsome men in attendance at the Empress Dowager’s palace banquet.

Secondly, it is time to let people in the imperial city get to know Princess An Ning.

……

The Queen Mother's Qianqiu Palace Banquet is considered the most luxurious banquet in the Xuanyue Dynasty.

Ouyang Qingyu brought Lin Wanwan into the palace.

Bright lights were shining everywhere, and the long banquet table was filled with delicacies and the aroma was fragrant.

The three seats in the middle at the top are currently empty.

In the remaining hall, the seats on both sides are arranged in a stepped manner, with a large empty space in the middle.

There were already quite a few people sitting in the middle rows of seats for concubines and royal relatives.

The concubines in the harem and the royal relatives were dressed in their best clothes and wearing jewels on their heads. The jewels sparkled and complemented each other. They greeted each other and laughed.

The seats for the ministers of the court were located on the outermost side, close to the door. They spoke and acted cautiously, with awe and respect in their eyes, and greeted each other to show goodwill.

In the center of the banquet, dancers were dressed in gorgeous silks and satins, with fluttering sleeves, graceful figures and light dance steps.

The musicians played with full concentration, and the melodious sounds of string and bamboo instruments lingered in every corner of the palace.

Lin Wanwan and Ouyang Qingyu walked in side by side.

As soon as Ouyang Qingyu appeared, he instantly attracted the attention of the concubines and princesses in the harem.

The fifth princess, Lin Meihua, saw that the two of them seemed to know each other, and she couldn't help feeling unhappy when she thought of the previous rumors.

"Brother Qingyu..." Lin Meihua hurriedly went up to him and called him sweetly.

Ouyang Qingyu seemed not to have heard and walked to his seat and sat down.

Lin Meihua frowned, feeling even more unhappy.

"An Ning?" A familiar voice came, "Sit here."

Lin Wanwan looked up and saw that it was Prince Yong.

Prince Yong sat at the end, next to both the royal family and the ministers.

Lin Wanwan walked over slowly and sat in the seat next to Prince Yong.

Prince Yong saw that she was still dressed plainly, and couldn't help but frown, "But the clothes I gave you are not to your liking? How have you been these days?"

Lin Wanwan smiled faintly and said, "It's okay."

Prince Yong and Lin Wanwan sat silently in the corner.

Lin Wanwan's simple clothing seemed somewhat out of place with the gorgeous atmosphere around her.

The fifth princess Lin Meihua noticed Lin Wanwan, a scornful smile appeared on her lips, and she deliberately raised her voice and said:

"Hey, look, isn't this Princess An Ning? How come she is also qualified to attend the Queen Mother's Thousand Years Banquet today?"

Her words were full of sarcasm, causing the surrounding princesses, dukes, and their families to look at her sideways and laugh softly.

One of the concubines also echoed, "That's right, look at her shabby appearance, she really brings shame to the royal family."

Prince Yong glanced at Lin Wanwan beside him and said, "An Ning, tomorrow the king will send some more luxurious things..."

Lin Wanwan said calmly: "No need, someone will send you off tonight."

When Prince Yong saw her like this, he remained silent.

Although the ministers did not directly mock like the princess and concubines, there was a hint of disdain in their eyes.

A minister whispered faintly: "An unpopular princess is here just to make up the numbers."

"Well... the envoys from Yunhai Country will come recently. Let's let their small country see the pomp and circumstance of our great country."

Ye Zhaobo, who was sitting in the front row of ministers, remained silent. If Lin Wanwan behaved herself today, he would be happy to give her this face.

If she is restless, he will take the initiative to expose the fact that she sold her body for money, thereby putting the interests of the country above her own and preserving his image as a strict father.

Lin Meihua swayed and walked to Lin Wanwan, and said hypocritically:

"Sister, the whole city of Kyoto has spread the news that you went to a brothel to look for men. If you don't have a decent man by your side, I'll give you a few."

Lin Wanwan raised her head and looked at the princess calmly: "Who is this princess looking for?"

At this moment.

"Empress Dowager, His Majesty has arrived~" A sharp and extremely feminine voice sounded.

Surrounded by the crowd, the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and Concubine Lin entered the palace banquet.

Lin Wanwan looked towards the Queen Mother in front of her.

She was walking into the palace banquet with great grace, wearing a gorgeous phoenix robe and a dazzling phoenix crown on her head, with pearls and jade swaying and radiant.

The Queen Mother had a kind and majestic smile on her face as she slowly swept her eyes across the entire audience. Wherever she went, everyone bowed respectfully.

Lin Wanchan thought to herself that the portrait of the empress dowager that Ouyang Qingyu had pointed out was indeed very similar to the empress dowager herself.

Emperor Lin Moyun followed closely behind, wearing a dragon robe, showing the majesty of the emperor. He had an upright posture, steady and powerful steps, and his brows revealed his innate nobility.

After the three of them took their seats in the high seats.

Emperor Lin Moyun said: "Let's start the banquet."

"Let the banquet begin~" a feminine yet sharp voice sounded.

The palace maids shuttled between the banquets, holding fine wine and delicacies in their hands, and their steps were as light as swallows.

Lin Wanwan glanced at Lin Meihua who was still beside her, and asked again: "Who did you say that this princess was having a secret meeting with?"

"Ouyang..." Lin Meihua stopped talking halfway. She looked timidly at the imperial concubine beside His Majesty. Fortunately, the imperial concubine did not notice.

Lin Wanwan smiled faintly and said, "It seems that you are not very smart to stir up trouble in front of the Queen Mother and His Majesty."

Lin Meihua didn't expect her to respond like this. She was speechless for a moment, and her face became a little ugly. She couldn't help but look at Ouyang Qingyu, who was sitting in the back row with Prime Minister Su Mingde. From beginning to end, his eyes followed Lin Wanwan involuntarily.

Lin Meihua couldn't help but grit her teeth in anger.

At this time, the Queen Mother noticed the movement here. She frowned slightly and said:

"Today is my great birthday, and we should all be harmonious. Those who come to the banquet are my guests."

Although the Queen Mother's words were gentle, they carried an unquestionable majesty.

Crown Prince Lin Xiaohe glanced at them, picked up his wine glass and drank.

After hearing this, Lin Meihua quickly put away her arrogant attitude, responded awkwardly, and hurried back to her seat.

At the Qianqiu Palace Banquet, the lights were bright, musicians were playing, there was singing and dancing, and on the surface it seemed like a happy occasion.

"The special envoy of Yunhai Country has arrived~"

【System prompt: A handsome man has been detected.】

[Handsome man information:]

[Hua Yu, 18 years old, identity: the third prince of Yunhai Kingdom, loves cleanliness, sent to Xuanyue Dynasty as a hostage. ]

Lin Wanwan hurriedly opened the [System Panel].

Lin Wanwan: ???

It's fine to scold someone until they cry, but why do you have to make demands when scolding someone?!

At this time, three special envoys walked into the hall with a very ugly hostage.

Emperor Lin Moyun raised his eyes slightly, with a look of scrutiny in his eyes. Even though he understood, he was the first to speak: "Dear guest from afar, I wonder what brings you here this time?"
