This was the first time He Jiuniang and Lu Baichuan attended a palace banquet, so they naturally had to prepare well.
He Jiuniang had already prepared the clothes the two of them would wear, and gave Lu Baichuan a small vest similar to the one she gave to Prince Jing before.
"What about you?"
Lu Baichuan saw that she had prepared these for herself, which were all for self-defense, and she herself was dressed like a little fairy. Wear nothing for self-defense.
"I don't need it, don't I still have you? Can I get hurt with you?"
Lu Baichuan felt that this was right, he just tried his best He won't let anything happen to his wife.
“That won’t happen.”
“That’s it, how can you wear these skirts and jewelry with those things? As a woman, just be responsible for the beauty. ."
He Jiuniang said it beautifully, but actually it was because she didn't need these things at all, and basically no one could hurt her.
Lu Baichuan nodded, feeling so choked up when he saw his wife looking so beautiful no matter how she dressed up.
He knew that his wife was the center of attention wherever she went. She was dressed so beautifully tonight, and he didn’t know how many people would be thinking about her.
But a daughter-in-law is free, and it is natural for women to love beauty. He cannot hide her selfishly, and can only protect her to the best of his ability.
He Jiuniang was dressed very nicely tonight. The light green dress made her look tender and tender. She was obviously the mother of a four-year-old child, but she still looked like she was still young. She looks like a little girl who has just left the palace. The most important thing is that she has that kind of amorous feelings that little girls don't have. She is really the ceiling of pure desire.
Lu Baichuan watched her spinning in circles in front of him and asked him with a smile: "Do I look good tonight?"
"You look good anytime, tonight. Extraordinarily beautiful!"
Lu Baichuan pulled the person into his arms, lowered his head and wanted to kiss her, but He Jiuniang stretched out her hand to block her.
"Not bad, not bad, you are making progress, I like to hear this. But we have to put on makeup with great difficulty, so we can't have sex casually. Let's go, let's go, it's time to go out."
He Jiuniang pushed Lu Baichuan away, held up her skirt and ran out, joking, she would not be able to escape if she didn't run. She didn't want to be late for the first palace banquet.
For this palace banquet, she didn’t even eat lunch in the afternoon and waited with an empty stomach.
When Lu Baichuan saw his cute and cute look, he couldn't help but be amused.
He often went to the palace during this period, and He Jiuniang was already very familiar with the palace. However, there were so many people entering the palace tonight that the carriage could not enter.After leaving, the servants could only be asked to wait outside the palace gate, and then everyone got off the car and walked into the palace.
Lu Baichuan asked his servants to go back first and pick them up after midnight, so as not to shiver in the cold wind.
The servant was grateful and went home under the envious eyes of other servants.
As for the other servants, they dare not even think about it, because they are not sure when their master will leave the table. If the master comes out and cannot see them, they will die.
And their master was not as reasonable as Lu Baichuan, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with them waiting in the cold wind.
While Lu Baichuan was talking to the servant, He Jiuniang was already chatting with the guard guarding the palace gate.
"Have King Chen and the Queen come?"
"His Royal Highness King Chen and the Queen Mother have entered the palace in the morning. His Highness has to deal with political affairs, and the Queen Mother has to go to the harem to accompany the Queen Mother. The Empress and the Empress."
"Hehe, you are indeed well-informed. Now, put these things away. If you can save your life, give a share to your brothers."
He Jiuniang said, taking out a few small porcelain bottles from her arms and passing them over.
The guards were a little confused. Why did they give them these poisons? They are just guarding the gate, there is nothing dangerous about it.
"Take it, take it, it will be useful, just in case!"
He Jiuniang waved her hands to them without any refusal, took Lu Baichuan's arm and said Entered the palace.
There were many officials and family members traveling with them. When they saw them, confusion flashed in their eyes. Some of them didn’t know them, and some thought they were foreign ministers from Jingzhou. It stands to reason that She said she shouldn't attend the palace banquet, so why did she come?
But I had heard something about the fifth princess, and I felt that the emperor really looked at the couple differently, so it was normal for them to make an exception and allow them to attend the palace banquet.
A few people would come over to talk to Lu Baichuan, hoping to take the opportunity to build a good relationship. Some officials were originally from King Chen's side and wanted to take care of Lu Baichuan, so they took the initiative to say hello.
When the officials came over, their families naturally followed them, because everyone wanted to make friends, and the family members all smiled and talked to He Jiuniang. Even though some people looked down on them in their hearts, on the surface It's also done well.
Especially when I got closer and saw the beauty of the couple, the handsome man and the woman, their gestures and gestures, and most importantly, the extraordinary clothes on their bodies, I quickly showed a sincere smile.
He Jiuniang saw all this in her eyes and wrote it down calmly, still appearing to be intimate with others.As he spoke, he was actually planning to ask the princess about their details.
"Master Lu is really a hero from a young age. He can achieve such great things at such a young age. He has a promising future!"
"His Royal Highness Chen has such a talented person as Master Lu. Help each other, no wonder the emperor likes it so much!"
"Master Lu will be promoted in the future, and we would also like to ask Mr. Lu to promote one or two!"
…
Tonight’s banquet has been invited to a wide range of people, and all Beijing officials above the fifth rank have been invited. Therefore, some people’s positions are not as high as those of Lu Baichuan, and it is inevitable to deliberately flatter them when speaking.
Lu Baichuan dealt with it with ease, but held He Jiuniang tightly with one hand to prevent her from leaving his sight, which made others envious.
When you enter the main hall, you show your official badge. There is a special public roll call, which allows officials who don't know each other to have peace of mind and don't offend the people who shouldn't be offended.
"The commander-in-chief of the Fire Cloud Division, Lord Lu, has arrived with his wife He~"
Upon hearing this roll call, everyone in the hall looked towards them.
Although the two of them had long been accustomed to looking at each other like this, Lu Baichuan still subconsciously tightened his wife's hand, really wanting to poke these people's eyes out.
He glanced coldly at some people who looked at them with malicious intent, and everyone woke up as if they were dreaming.
I had long heard that Lu Baichuan had a lovely wife in his family, who was so beautiful that it made people’s hearts tremble. Therefore, even after Lu Baichuan became rich, he never took a concubine for himself, and he only had one child.
When these words spread, people will inevitably laugh at them. What kind of beauties are there in this world? Who doesn’t have three wives and four concubines when a man is prosperous?
But the moment they saw He Jiuniang, everyone fell silent. If they had such a lovely wife at home, they would be willing to clear the backyard for her.
He Jiuniang ignored those glances, transformed into a well-behaved little daughter-in-law, and was led by Lu Baichuan to sit down at their place.
As soon as she sat down, someone poked her shoulder and asked in a low voice: "Are you Dr. He who has been seeing the emperor?"
