In a blink of an eye, it was time for Prince Zhongshun’s banquet.
On this day, Lin Daiyu got up early and began to dress up according to her grandmother's instructions. After she had finished packing, she inspected it carefully, then boarded the carriage that had been prepared and headed towards the Zhongshun Prince's Palace.
.
Lin Daiyu went there much earlier than the banquet time. This had been discussed long ago in order to let her get acquainted with Princess Zhaojing.
Princess Zhaojing has a noble status and really good conduct. She has received orders from King Zhongshun and is ready to receive Lin Daiyu.
"I have met the princess." After entering Prince Zhongshun's palace, Lin Daiyu and her party were led respectfully into the flower hall by the maids.
Princess Zhongshun looked at Lin Daiyu carefully and said with a smile: "Sure enough, she looks a bit like your mother."
Then he looked at Nanny Zhang, who was following Lin Daiyu, and said, "I also wanted to know where Nanny went. It turns out she was at the Lin family. If I had known you were at the Lin family, I would have posted a message for you."
Aunt Zhang said respectfully: "Thank you for your concern, the Queen. The old slave is getting old and wants to find a place to retire. Thanks to the Queen, the old slave met Miss Lin."
Princess Zhongshun said: "It seems that Miss Lin has gained the favor of grandma. Of course I can trust grandma's ability."
At this time, Princess Zhaojing also came to the flower hall and said: "I have seen my mother-in-law, and this is Miss Lin."
Lin Daiyu bowed to Princess Zhaojing and said, "I have met Princess Zhaojing."
Princess Zhaojing took a look at Lin Daiyu and felt that her temperament was extraordinary. She liked her and said with a smile: "Sister, you don't need to be polite."
When Princess Zhongshun saw that they were getting along well, she said, "Since your father asked you to take good care of Miss Lin, I will leave her to you."
Princess Zhaojing said: "Don't worry, concubine, I will definitely take good care of Sister Lin."
Regarding the daughter of Princess Zhaojing, Princess Zhongshun was relieved and said: "I'll call you Yu'er. I'm an old acquaintance of Grandma Zhang, so I'll leave her to talk for now. You can go play with Zhaojing."
Zhaojing didn't care about her mother, and said to Lin Daiyu: "Miss Lin, we are sisters. I call you sister Yu'er, and you call me sister Jing."
Lin Daiyu followed her words and called out: "Sister Jing"
Princess Zhaojing took her hand and said, "I know this is your first time to attend such a party, so there is nothing to be afraid of. All the people here this time are my friends, and they won't embarrass you."
It turned out that Princess Zhaojing saw Lin Daiyu's anxiety and guessed the reason.
When Lin Daiyu saw Princess Zhaojing caring about her so much, she slowly relaxed and became familiar with her.
Through the conversation, Princess Zhaojing also figured out Lin Daiyu's temperament and made plans in her mind.
"Sister Yu'er, I will introduce you to some sisters later. Their temperaments are compatible with yours."
Lin Daiyu also knew that as the head of the family, Princess Zhaojing needed to receive guests, and this time there was a royal princess coming, so it was impossible to take her with her all the time. He always had to face all this independently.
Princess Zhaojing talked to Lin Daiyu for a while, told her some things about the banquet, and then went to receive other guests.
Lin Daiyu was sitting somewhere, reading a book with gusto. Suddenly she heard playful sounds, including the voice of Princess Zhaojing. She thought it was the princess of some family.
Princess Zhaojing brought the three girls to Lin Daiyu's side, took her hand and said, "This is Sister Yu'er from the family of Master Lin, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."
Then he said to Lin Daiyu: "This is Su Jin from the Cheng'enhou family, that is Liu Qian from the Wenchanghou Palace, and next to him is Qian Yu from the Dali Temple Shaoqing family. You are all book lovers, so you should be able to
Talking about a piece.”
Lin Daiyu listened carefully and looked at them without leaving any trace. Needless to say, the origins of these four girls were also extraordinary. They were much better than the Yingchun sisters in her grandmother's family.
The four girls also looked at Lin Daiyu. On the way here, they heard about it from Princess Zhaojing, and they were very curious about what kind of ability this girl Lin had to make Princess Zhaojing pay so much attention to her.
In fact, they had also heard of this girl from the Lin family, but they had never seen her at a party.
Su Jin is the niece of the Empress, and is most familiar with Princess Zhaojing. She is also good at sociability, so she immediately said, "My sister also likes to read. I don't know what books she has read."
Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "I'm just killing some time."
Princess Zhaojing didn't have that much time to spend here. She also had to receive other princesses from the prince's family. After a few people got acquainted with each other, Princess Zhaojing left.
Lin Daiyu silently thought that she could not embarrass her father, so she tried to blend in with the chats of several people. The others did not specifically exclude her, and they also talked about topics that Lin Daiyu could pick up.
In this way, the relationship between several people will become more harmonious.
Lin Daiyu's own talent also won their recognition.
When everyone arrived, Lin Daiyu also followed a few people to get to know the noble ladies of the capital.
I mentally compared myself with several sisters from the Jia family, and found that although the sisters from the Jia family were excellent, their knowledge was not as good as these people.
What she and her sisters talked about most at Jia's house were reading, writing poetry, and female celebrities.
The focus of these noble ladies in the capital is not that. Their knowledge is much better than that of the Jia family sisters, and much better than themselves.
In general, at this gathering at Prince Zhongshun's Mansion, Lin Daiyu opened up her social life in the capital, made a few friends, and agreed to communicate frequently in the future.
In the evening, King Zhongshun returned to the palace and went directly to the princess's yard.
"How is the Lin family's daughter?"
Princess Zhongshun was puzzled as to why her prince was so interested in the Lin family's daughter. Judging from his expression, it didn't look like he was trying to take advantage of her.
"My lord, why are you so interested in her?"
King Zhongshun looked at the princess's confused look, thought about it and decided not to hide it from her, and said, "I am not doing it for our son."
Princess Zhongshun suddenly misunderstood and said: "My lord, please don't be stupid. Our son is already married. How could Mr. Lin agree that his daughter should be a child?"
King Zhongshun said angrily: "You are just being stupid. Lin Ruhai is the only daughter who is very precious. I didn't mean that either."
"You didn't explain yourself clearly, and you blame me."
King Zhongshun had no choice but to say: "Forget it, okay. I'll ask you, how is Lin Ruhai's daughter? Is she a good one? Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
When Princess Zhongshun heard that it had nothing to do with her son, she was not anxious and said slowly: "The emperor's sister-in-law gave her Nanny Zhang. I learned the rules well. Maybe it's because I have never attended such a party.
Yeah, I was a little timid, but I quickly adjusted to it. As for more, you have to ask Zhaojing."
King Zhongshun did not give up. He wanted to hear his princess's evaluation, and then asked: "Do you think she can support a prince's mansion?"
Princess Zhongshun was surprised. Lin Daiyu's own conditions were excellent. With Lin Ruhai's official position, betrothal her daughter to the Hou Mansion was not considered a high marriage.
But the Lin family has only a small number of heirs, and the relationship with the Jia family is too close. How could someone suddenly fall in love with the daughter of the Lin family?
Furthermore, few families in the capital have ever seen a girl from the Lin family. The girl from the Lin family has just reached the age to discuss marriage, so why does this problem suddenly arise?
