Chapter 2669 Entering the Palace
When Man Bao returned to the main room, he wanted to get on the bed, but Bai Shan grabbed him and dragged him directly to the bathroom. "I've asked someone to prepare hot water. You wash up first."
Man Bao could only take a bath first.
After taking a bath, I felt refreshed.
She put on her underwear and came out. There were some snacks on the table, including steamed buns, steamed buns and porridge.
Bai Shan served her a bowl of porridge, placed it in front of her and said, "Let's eat something first and then take a nap. We will enter the palace in the afternoon."
Only then did Man Bao remember this important thing. He ate his porridge blankly and said, "These two children chose their days well. One was born on August 14th and the other on August 15th."
Bai Shan thought the same thing and said with a smile: "If you forget someone's birthday in the future, their birthday will not be forgotten either."
It's just unlucky that it's the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I'm afraid that relatives and friends won't have time to celebrate their birthdays in the future, so they'll just have to celebrate it.
So is this a good or bad day to choose?
Manbao went to take a nap and woke up after noon.
Then wash up and get ready to change clothes and go into the palace.
Man Bao decided to follow Bai Shan's suggestion and wear official robes. The weather was neither cold nor hot at the moment, so wearing official robes was just right.
Bai Shan, on the other hand, plans to take it regularly because he is a family member.
Man Bao said: "By the way, I'll let Xi Chou pack up a new set of clothes and jewelry for Li Ru later, and we'll pick her up and go into the palace together."
Man Bao decided to take Zhou Liru into the palace to see the world. After all, she would also become an official in the court in the future.
Bai Shan agreed and turned around to give instructions.
Man Bao brought his family members into the palace, first went to the Imperial Medical Office, handed the clothes to Zhou Liru, and asked Wu Yu to dress her up.
Man Bao sat aside with a cup of tea and told her two big news, "Yesterday your sister gave birth to a son."
Zhou Liru's eyes widened in surprise, and before he could cheer happily, Man Bao continued: "Your sister-in-law also gave birth to a daughter this morning."
Zhou Liru almost jumped up, but was held down by Wuyue, "Sanniang, you can't move, your hair will be messed up."
Zhou Liru followed his sister-in-law into the car to the palace with a confused look on his face. It took him a while to come to his senses and said, "Sister-in-law, thank you for your hard work."
Man Bao nodded reservedly and said politely: "It's okay, the birth went smoothly."
"Then can I go home and see the kids tomorrow?"
"It depends on whether Honglu Temple will arrest anyone tomorrow."
While talking, the group of people arrived at the gate of the imperial city. There were many officials and their families entering the palace at the same time, and everyone was queuing up.
Bai Shan was dressed in rich clothes, with a pendant hanging around his waist. He was sitting upright on a horse. He stretched his neck slightly and looked forward, and saw the Yin family's carriage.
He waved his hand over there, and the servants of the Yin family saw it. After entering the imperial city, they stepped aside and waited. They waited for the Zhou family's carriage and guards to come in before coming out. Both parties moved forward with both feet.
Gao You watched with pursed lips and clenched fists. A guard whispered: "Prince, do you think the news we heard is true? The emperor of Jin Dynasty is not even willing to see us. How can he be willing to accept it?"
Our peace?"
Gao You said coldly: "Didn't you hear that person's hint? Da Jin wants more tributes. This is because he intends to keep us cold and then raise the price. Anyway, let's pass the good news back first. Now the Wang Ting has been asking
I urge you, and you have to ask the royal court what the minimum price is."
"Before coming..."
"Before we came here, we didn't know that Dajin would be so tough this time. We can't even send out gold, silver and jewelry. Obviously Dajin is not satisfied with the previously set tribute amount and must increase it some more."
It's a pity that he can't completely make the decision on this matter, and he has to travel all the way to ask the royal court for instructions. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the two countries will definitely negotiate. He can't delay it for a long time. Otherwise, what will happen if the Jin Dynasty becomes angry?
On the other hand, Emperor Tiangao was far from afraid of the Jin Dynasty, but he was a grasshopper in their hands.
When they arrived at the gate of the palace, Man Bao helped Bai Shan get out of the car. He watched his carriage and horses turn around and leave on another road, then he looked at Yao Yin or, "You actually entered the palace to attend the palace banquet?"
Yin You smiled slightly and said: "Father said that my health has improved a lot and I am no longer afraid of sitting for long periods of time, so he asked me to come to the palace to have a look."
In fact, the old lady was evil-minded and had always wanted to marry Yin You a wife, so she wanted to take him out for a walk and tell the world on a formal occasion that Yin You's health was much better.
However, Yin You doesn't want to be too deeply involved with another woman or another family, so he is not suitable for marriage.
But it is still possible to enter the palace to attend the palace banquet.
He smiled at Bai Shan and Zhou Man, and then he noticed their outfits, so he couldn't help but smile, "Let's enter the palace."
"Let's meet your grandmother first."
Mrs. Yin also got out of the car.
Man Bao and Bai Shan smiled and stepped forward to salute.
Mrs. Yin quickly smiled and said, "Master Zhou and Master Bai don't need to be polite."
She looked at the pair of beauties in front of her and said with some envy: "Master Zhou and Master Bai are really talented men and beautiful women." In fact, the same applies to women who are talented and beautiful women. Anyway, they match well.
envious.
She glanced at her grandson standing aside and sighed in her heart, wondering if her grandson could find such a thing.
The emperor and empress were always kind to the elderly and officials in poor health, so there were many chariots waiting inside the palace gate.
Elderly people like Mrs. Yin can take a chariot directly to the palace after entering the palace. Otherwise, the old lady is all dressed up for this long journey. Even if she is not tired and lies down, she will be sweaty and uncomfortable.
, when the cold wind blows back, I should be sick.
Mrs. Yin sat on the chariot and immediately pointed at Yin You and asked him to come up too.
Yin You shook his hand and said, "Grandma, Zhou Man and I will walk slowly. You go first."
Bai Shan knew that he didn't want to be with Mrs. Yin, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mrs. Yin. We have been studying in the palace for several years and we are very familiar with each other. We will catch up with you soon."
Mrs. Yin could only give up and let the chariot go first.
They all entered the palace in advance, and they didn't know how long it would take until the banquet started, so they were not in a hurry at all and walked forward slowly.
Zhou Liru also envied Zhou Man, "Sister-in-law, you are much more comfortable wearing official uniforms than us."
Man Bao also noticed it and said proudly: "This is called foresight."
Zhou Liru pursed his lips and smiled, looking around.
Man Bao said: "Don't look at it, Liu Shangshu's family may not enter the palace until later."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Liru pointed to the back and said, "Liu Huan!"
Several people turned around and saw Liu Huanzheng running towards them, "No noise is allowed in the palace, but I shouted several times, why didn't you hear me?"
Man Bao: "You must not have screamed loudly, otherwise you would still be here now?"
Liu Huan was heartbroken, "You really want me to be arrested."
Liu Huan looked around and asked, "Where is Bai Er?"
Bai Shan: "He entered the palace yesterday afternoon."
