Chapter 124 Birthday Banquet
The box opened, and a heavy, complicated and mixed with the breath of the past rushed towards Lin Yingxue. Lin Yingxue was stunned for a moment, and first trembled with his hands to pick up a lifelike puppet from the box, then picked up the small embroidered shoes, and then the kite with a broken wing...
Lin Yingxue picked up the things in the box one by one, put them down one by one, and tickled it. Until the drop of warm liquid dripped on the back of her hand, she realized that she had tears in her eyes.
"These seem to be all the things that the young lady did when she was a child, right?" Dier, who was beside her, also squatted down curiously when she saw this.
Before Dier showed his own strangeness, Lin Yingxue quickly raised her sleeve and wiped away her tears, "Yes, everything here was prepared by my mother."
Lin Yingxue reached out to touch the objects, as if she was stroking her past.
It seems that she hasn't seen the woman in front of her for a long time.
Looking at the tombstone in the distance, Lin Yingxue couldn't help feeling a little guilty. It was because she was sent to the Song family before, so she could not come to visit her dead poor mother, but after returning to the Lin family for so long, she had completely forgotten this matter.
As a child, she is really unfilial!
With a heart full of guilt and self-blame, Lin Yingxue accelerated her pace and walked forward, but the grave was far from as bad as she thought. It was clean and there were even sacrifices placed on the grave. At this moment, Lin Yingxue even doubted whether she had made the wrong move.
——Her mother’s mother’s family has long been withered, and there are only a few distant relatives who are not often contacted. Lin Yingxue only vaguely knew that these people existed, but she had not contacted them for a long time. She could not even remember the names of these people. As for the servants who had served by her biological mother, they were dead, leaving...
So who is so dedicated now that she often comes to worship her many years after her biological mother passed away?
Lin Yingxue looked around carefully and saw that there was not even a trace of weeds around the grave, and the fruits and melons placed in front of the tombstone had not completely rotted. This proves that the person who had been visiting her mother must have appeared in recent times!
"Miss..." Although Di'er's mind was slower, she could see some clues after carefully observing the situation around her. "I don't know which kind-hearted person has been visiting her. If she meets her in the future, I must thank that person!"
As he said that, Di'er squatted down and prepared to put the things they brought over. However, when Di'er moved, she was stopped by Lin Yingxue. "Don't destroy the things here for the time being. Let's kowtow to my mother and leave."
Lin Yingxue stared at the tombstone in front of her with a serious expression, and a thoughtful look appeared on her face.
——Although her mother was favored by Lin Zhengjie during her lifetime, she was just an ordinary concubine, so her mother was not very popular and rarely interacted with others. But since this worshiper could continue to worship her mother for so long, it proved that this person must have a close relationship with her mother.
Thinking of Liu'er telling her before her death that her mother was likely murdered by Song, she might not be able to find any clues from this mysterious old man.
Thinking of this, Lin Yingxue became more determined to not destroy the mind here. After all, she was not sure whether her sudden visit would scare the person who had been worshiping her mother. So to be cautious, she must not be afraid of the person who had been watching the worshipper before she saw the worshipper.
Most of the time Dier can't understand her own lady's work, but she knows one thing - what her own lady must have done is right! So Dier didn't ask too much, and the two returned to the Lin family after the sacrificial worship.
Perhaps because the second aunt suddenly became pregnant, the mind was hindered. Song did not come to cause trouble for Lin Yingxue for a while. Lin Yingxue was also happy to be idle and rested for a few days.
Until the seventh day of November.
Today is Murong Yue’s birthday. Although it is a day that has its own every year, as the most beloved princess of today, Murong Yue’s birthday banquet is held every year in a particularly luxurious and lively manner.
I don’t know if it was Murong Yue who intended to vent her anger for her—Lin Yingxue and Lin Yingxiang both received invitations for the banquet, but Lin Yingling and Lin Yingmeng’s two legitimate daughters did not receive invitations for the banquet for Murong Yue. For this reason, Lin Yingling and Lin Yingmeng were still in the mansion.
"Fifth sister, I have never entered the palace. If there is anything inappropriate, I must remind me earlier." After getting on the carriage, Lin Yingxiang pulled Lin Yingxue nervously, and acted a little uneasy.
In fact, in the true sense, Lin Yingxiang did not take the initiative to do anything to hurt Lin Yingxue. It was just that when she was a child, she helped bully her twice under the pressure of Lin Yingling and others. Therefore, Lin Yingxue and this concubine who have always been taciturn and timid and afraid of troubles did not have such a big rift.
"It's okay, don't be nervous for the second sister. In fact, the palace is not as terrible as the second sister imagines. If the second sister is really uneasy, she will always be with me." Although there is no big conflict between the two, Lin Yingxue is still a little uncomfortable with this sudden intimacy.
She thrust her hands quietly, but Lin Yingxiang seemed to be unaware of it and kept holding her sleeve tightly. Lin Yingxue couldn't break free, so she had to let Lin Yingxiang continue to pull her helplessly.
All carriages and sedan chairs cannot enter the palace, so when Lin Yingxue and Lin Yingxiang got off the carriage at the entrance of the palace.
They were already a little late. At this time, the palace gate was crowded with people. It seemed that they were invited to attend Murong Jun’s birthday banquet.
"Stop! Where is your invitation?" Lin Yingxue and Lin Yingxiang were following the crowd and slowly heading towards the palace gate. But suddenly there was a loud shout from the guards in front of him. Although the sound was not loud, it was enough for a large number of people to hear it.
Lin Yingxiang beside her stretched her neck and looked forward curiously. Lin Yingxue was also curious when she saw this. She stood on tiptoe and looked forward. She saw a man in white clothes in front of her, as if he had no invitation letter, so she was stopped by the guards.
"What I want is an invitation letter. What are you doing for me?" I don't know if the man was speaking too little or the man didn't speak at all, Lin Yingxue could only barely hear the guards' voice.
She frowned slightly, looked down at the guard's hand, and saw that it seemed to be holding something in the guard's hand. Lin Yingxue couldn't see what it was, but it didn't look like an invitation letter.
"Oh, you dare to sneak into the palace to attend the princess' banquet without an invitation. I think you are too brave!"
"What are you waiting for? This man looked cold and looked like he was not a good person at first sight. Why don't you drive him out quickly!"
"Yes, yes, we are blocking our way into the palace. How tired we are standing outside!"
Some people soon started to complain, and most of the people spoke in the words of well-known ladies. They were used to being pampered in daily life, but they naturally couldn't stand it if they were neglected.
When the guard heard this, his face became even more ugly, "Okay, get out of here, today is the princess' birthday, I won't bother you. If you are in trouble here again, don't blame me for being rude!"
While the guard said, he reached out to push the man in white. However, before his hand touched the man in white, a eunuch came out in the palace.
"What's going on? I heard you clamoring from afar!" The person who came was a eunuch who was about forty years old. It seemed that his status in the palace should be quite high. When the guards saw this eunuch, their faces were repelled and they became respectful.
"Sir, a ungrateful person wants to take advantage of the situation and sneak into the palace, but was stopped by the young man." The guard replied with his eyebrows down. His appearance was as fierce as the vicious look just now, as if he had changed someone else.
"Is that true?" The eunuch couldn't help but glance at the man in white with his eyes squinted. He didn't know what he thought of. The middle-aged eunuch's face changed slightly, "Are you here to attend the princess' birthday banquet? Are there any invitations?"
"Eunuch Qian, don't worry too much. This man is just a fool. If you want to sneak into the palace, you can't get the invitation. You can even take out a sachet to fool the little one. You're so stupid!" Before the man in white could speak, the guards beside him said hurriedly.
The guard thought that after hearing his words, he would definitely receive praise from the people in front of him, but what he didn't expect was that as soon as he finished speaking, the people in front of him seemed to be surprised, and his face changed even more.
"What kind of sachet? Take it out and see it for the Sa family!" said the middle-aged eunuch anxiously.
Seeing this, the guard was puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask too much, so he hurriedly handed over the sachet in his hand.
Lin Yingxue stood not far away and saw clearly. When the middle-aged eunuch saw the sachet, he seemed to have seen something amazing. While he hurriedly put the sachet in his sleeves and put it away, he respectfully welcomed the man in white into the palace.
It seems that the sachet should be Murong Yue’s token, otherwise the middle-aged eunuch with some background would never be so respectful to the man in white. He just didn’t know where the man in white came from, and could actually take Murong Yue’s personal belongings to the banquet.
Could this mysterious man be Murong Yue’s sweetheart?
"Fifth sister, let's go too." Lin Yingxue was thinking, but Lin Yingxiang, who was beside her, suddenly pulled her sleeve gently. Lin Yingxue came to her senses and temporarily threw the doubts in her heart behind her.
Because it was Murong Yue's birthday banquet, the banquet was held in Murong Yue's palace, and the emperor and the queen had not yet arrived, so the atmosphere at the banquet was still relaxing for the time being.
Lin Yingxue's eyes searched for her. Seeing Murong Yue greetings with other ladies, she did not rush to join in the fun. However, Lin Yingxiang beside her suddenly waved to the people beside her with excitement, "Third Prince!"
The third prince, Murong Jun and Lin Yingxue, looked in the direction where Lin Yingxiang waved, and indeed, he saw Murong Jun standing not far away and chatting with a group of young men. Although most of the young men who came to the banquet today were among the crowd, Murong Jun stood in the crowd as if he stood out from a crowd. Compared with Murong Jun, these people seemed to have become foils.
Just as Lin Yingxue was secretly thinking about when Lin Yingxiang became so familiar with Murong Jun, Murong Jun had obviously heard Lin Yingxiang's voice, said hello to the people around her, and slowly walked towards their direction.
