The war god prince climbs the wall every night, and the princess is angry

Chapter 207 Entering the Palace to Participate in the Longevity Ceremony

With this series of operations, Shen Qionghua spent a very leisurely time until two days before the current emperor's birthday.

As the newly appointed Princess of Jialin County by the Emperor, Shen Qionghua must show up on the Emperor's birthday.

Many people have never seen the daughter of the Shen family who was rumored to have donated three hundred taels of silver and was granted the title of county lord by the emperor.

Being extremely curious, Shen Qionghua had to attend the event in order to let people know what Princess Jialin actually looked like, so that they wouldn't be unable to recognize her in the future.

But Shen Qionghua felt guilty. She had been hiding from Xie Nanyuan for so long, and Xie Nanyuan was too busy with official duties to settle accounts with her, so he didn't get angry.

If this gets into the palace, we'll be caught red-handed!

Shen Qionghua was thinking about whether she should use the same trick again and pretend to be sick and not attend the palace banquet, and then let Luo Xiyao help her explain it. But before she could take any action, she received the Queen's decree.

The Queen was very curious about her, the newly-appointed Princess Jialin, and specially gave her two pieces of cloth so that she could dress up well and enter the palace for the Wanshou Festival.

Along with the rewards came the housekeeper nanny from the Queen's palace as a sign of respect.

Now she had to go to the palace even if she didn't want to. The queen had just rewarded her with materials and asked her to prepare them well. If she claimed to be sick and didn't go, wouldn't that be a slap in the queen's face?

Shen Qionghua still remembered Princess Yongle's violent temper, which made her whip the emperor at the slightest disagreement. She was already at odds with the imperial concubine's faction. If she offended the queen again, she would probably not want to leave the palace alive after attending a palace banquet.

Shen Qionghua was so upset that she could not even cry. She could only ask Shaoyao to take the two pieces of cloth that were given as a reward and make two sets of clothes that met the regulations. She would wear them on the day she entered the palace as a token of the Queen's grace.

Two days passed in a flash.

Early in the morning on the Wanshou Festival, Shen Qionghua got up and dressed.

She was now the princess of a county, and she dressed more elaborately than before. Shaoyao and Gancao were unusually flustered when doing her makeup.

Fortunately, Shen Qionghua had the memories of her previous life and was familiar with the palace rules. With her guidance, no major chaos occurred.

After finishing her dressing, Shen Qionghua casually ate a few bites of breakfast. Because she was going to the palace, she prepared steamed buns and other things, for fear that she would have to go to the toilet frequently in the palace.

After breakfast, Shen Qionghua and Shaoyao got on the carriage to the palace.

When they arrived at Xuanwu Gate, Shaoyao helped Shen Qionghua get off the carriage.

At this time, many people had gathered at the palace gate. They were all court ladies and families of officials of the third rank and above who wanted to enter the palace to pay homage to the empress.

The ladies from various families were chatting animatedly, and suddenly they saw a strange face, Shen Qionghua, and they all looked at her curiously.

Although Shen Qionghua had entered the palace before, it was Concubine Zhou who called her in privately.

It is possible that they had seen her at the royal hunting party before, but it was not a formal palace banquet, and Shen Qionghua was nothing at that time, so naturally no one looked at her seriously.

I may have had some impression at the time, but after so long, it has become blurred.

Now a group of acquaintances broke in with a stranger, and everyone immediately understood that this was the newly appointed Princess Jialin of the Emperor.

For a moment, the looks towards Shen Qionghua, Lin and Zhou Lingyi were a little subtle. After all, everyone knew about the relationship between Princess Jialin and Marquis Yongning... Oh no, the wife of Earl Yongning.

The fact that the Shen family's daughter donated silver instead of going through Prince An's way, and instead going through Prince Rui's hands, is quite thought-provoking. Then, that incident happened again, and the Yongning Marquisate was demoted to the Yongning Earl's...

Lin and Zhou Lingyi were originally chatting enthusiastically with the ladies and daughters of various families, but suddenly they felt the gazes cast at them and felt a little annoyed.

Especially Zhou Lingyi, who was beaten by Shen Qionghua in Shidinglou last time and had to admit her mistake. It was the most difficult thing for her to talk about since she was born. Now she was even more furious when she saw Shen Qionghua dressed up beautifully to attend the palace banquet.

In recent days, due to the demotion of their titles, the entire marquis's mansion has almost stayed indoors and done things in a low profile manner. On this Emperor's birthday, most of the ladies and young ladies maintained the same attitude as before.

This gave Lin and Zhou Lingyi a slight illusion, as if the shame of the Marquis's demotion had never happened before, and they were still the respected ladies and daughters of the Yongning Marquis's Mansion.

But the appearance of Shen Qionghua and the subtle looks from the ladies of each family brought them back to reality in an instant.

But even if Zhou Lingyi was furious, he didn't think of going forward, because a very frustrating fact was before him:

Although she was the legitimate daughter of the Yongning Earl's Mansion, her cousin was Prince An, and her aunt was Concubine Zhou, it still could not change her identity as the daughter of a minister.

Although Shen Qionghua was a merchant's daughter, she was conferred the title of county lady.

If she went forward to cause trouble at this moment, according to palace rules, she would have to bow to Shen Qionghua.

When the two met, the other was already inferior to the other before they even spoke. Zhou Lingyi had learned his lesson from the last time, so he naturally would not do something stupid in front of everyone and lose face again.

This time is different from the last time in Shidinglou. If she loses face here, the other noble ladies will laugh at her for the rest of her life!

Shen Qionghua naturally also saw the Lin mother and daughter, but she chose to ignore them.

She searched the crowd, and suddenly a bright voice sounded:

"Qionghua, I'm here!"
