Lin Mengya blushed. Since she transmigrated here, she had become more and more infatuated with men.
Not only was she surrounded by handsome men like Lin Zhongyu and Qinghu, but every time she met Long Tianhao, her brain, which she was so proud of, would shut down and restart at this critical moment.
"Oh yes, King Ming invited me to his tent for a drink tonight. You should rest early."
That meant that she would be sleeping alone tonight.
Somehow, Lin Mengya felt a sense of loss in her heart.
Sigh, it seemed that something was wrong.
"Also, King Ming asked for Hongyu back. He said that he was very sorry for offending you."
Lin Mengya could not help but smile wickedly when she thought of that exotic beauty.
She had already guessed that the woman was up to no good, so she had used that method.
King Ming was so forthright, not only did he ask for Hongyu back, but he also confirmed her reputation as a shrew.
Thinking of the foul atmosphere in the mansion, Lin Mengya felt much better and the dark clouds in her heart dissipated.
"Okay, then go and come back early."
Lin Mengya sat on the bed with the wolf cub in her arms. There was nothing much happening in the afternoon, just a group of people eating and drinking in the tent.
She was too lazy to go out, so she played with Snow in her own tent.
Qinghu stopped hiding and appeared in front of Lin Mengya, watching her playing with Snow.
"I didn't expect you to be addicted to raising wolves."
Snow was very guarded against Qinghu. Every time he came near, it would bare its teeth and make a whimpering sound.
"What are you talking about? I only have Ah Xue as my pet."
Qinghu twitched his mouth and lifted the wolf cub with one hand to put it in front of him.
"Your pet, Lin Zhongyu, may also be an alpha wolf that strays from the pack."
Lin Mengya had a rough idea about Xiaoyu.
Lin Mengya could draw a conclusion from Baisu's martial arts and character. However, when she thought that Xiaoyu would leave her when he grew up, Lin Mengya could not bear to part with him.
"Whether he is a wolf or a tiger, sooner or later he will be the king. I'm not worried. Oh yes, I asked you to keep an eye on that Hu Lunan, do you have any clues? "
Qinghu's expression changed at the mention of business.
"That second prince is really licentious and tyrannical, unlike his father and brothers. Last night, I saw one of his men abduct a village girl from a farmhouse at the foot of the mountain for his sexual pleasure. I'm afraid that village girl's head and body will be long gone by now. "
There was no such thing as pity in Qinghu's heart.
Therefore, he did not lend a helping hand. Lin Mengya was enraged. How dare the Second Prince of the western vassal state do harm to innocent people for his own selfish desires. How despicable!
"Go and find out where the corpse was thrown. I have a use for it."
Qinghu smiled devilishly. He immediately knew that Lin Mengya was going to trick him again.
"Alright, wait for my good news."
"Master, Princess Ming Yue of the western vassal state requests an audience."
As soon as Qinghu disappeared from the tent, Baiji's voice rang out from outside the tent.
Princess Ming Yue? Lin Mengya pondered for a long time before she recalled that King Ming had indeed brought two princesses with him.
One of them was called Ming Yue.
"Since you're here, how can we keep our guests waiting. Please come in."
"Yes."
As soon as Lin Mengya finished speaking, a beautiful lady dressed in a green palace dress walked up to her.
The ladies of the western vassal state were different from those of Dajin.
She was tall and slender, and her figure was comparable to that of a modern model.
Her facial features were as deep as those of a mixed-blood, and she had a cold and elegant temperament.
Even in modern times, this woman was an eye-catching woman. Lin Mengya smiled politely as she looked at the woman in front of her.
"Greetings, Princess Yu."
"You don't have to stand on ceremony, Princess Ming Yue."
The two of them bowed to each other and stood in the room, scrutinizing each other.
King Ming of the western vassal state was a hero, and his children were all outstanding people.
Princess Ming Yue's every movement had the noble and dignified air of a noble lady. She was definitely not an ordinary person.
"I've long heard from my brother, the crown prince, that Prince Yu and Princess Yu are the cream of the crop. Now that I've seen you today, you're indeed extraordinary."
Princess Ming Yue's voice was clear and bright. She was not trying to curry favor with Lin Mengya, nor was she trying to flatter her.
Her tone was sincere and pleasing to the ears.
Lin Mengya smiled. She knew that such words could not be taken seriously. But what was Princess Ming Yue's motive?
"You're flattering me. Baiji, prepare some tea."
The four maidservants stood behind Lin Mengya. Compared to the maidservants of other families, the four maidservants of Lin Mengya's family were more like the daughters of a noble family.
Princess Ming Yue's eyes were discreetly sizing up the maidservants behind Lin Mengya. Lin Mengya suddenly understood.
So, they were here for Baizhi.
"When I was in the western vassal state, everyone said that the servants in my mansion were all very capable. But now, compared to you, I'm nothing."
Lin Mengya shifted the topic to the maidservants. She smiled but did not say a word.
What a cunning Hu Tianbei. He was too embarrassed to speak up, so he asked his sister to do the talking.
"I heard that my brother had given up on the noble ladies of Dajin and fell in love with the maidservants of the princess. I was curious about it. Now, it seems that my brother's taste is as sharp as ever. "
It seemed that he was very satisfied with Baizhi! However, Lin Mengya was curious. This family was indeed different from others.
"You flatter me, Your Highness. Baizhi has been with me for a long time and we have a good relationship. Therefore, if she were to marry into the western vassal state, I would be reluctant to part with her. "
In the end, Princess Ming Yue only wanted Baizhi to marry into the western vassal state.
"You're right, Your Highness. After working with someone for a long time, one would naturally develop feelings for them. However, my brother really likes Miss Baizhi. Why don't I have two maidservants with me? They're quite agile. Do you think it's possible for you to help me fulfill my wish? "
Princess Ming Yue's words made Lin Mengya feel slightly displeased.
She had repeatedly said that Baizhi was not a tool, nor was she a servant. She was her good sister.
Why did these people think that maidservants were inferior to others?
"It's not that I don't want to give you face, Your Highness. I've said before that Baizhi is my sworn sister and not just an ordinary maidservant. If the crown prince wants to marry her, he would have to listen to her. "
The smile on Princess Ming Yue's face, which had been smiling all this while, turned cold.
She really couldn't understand. She was just a maidservant. She had already begged so earnestly, but the princess still refused to agree.
"If the two countries were to marry each other, it would be a win-win situation. Not to mention the princess's maidservant, even if she were to ask to marry the princess of Dajin, she would agree. I can understand your feelings, Your Highness, but for the sake of peace between the two countries, someone has to make some sacrifices. "
Her words were sharp and did not sound like the kind and amiable princess at all.
Lin Mengya understood that the princess must have been holding back her anger to the limit.
It didn't matter. Today, she would have a good debate with this princess.
When it came to eloquence, Lin Mengya was not afraid of anyone.
"The so-called war is just the ambition of those in power. How many people in the world are willing to go to war? Instead of sacrificing the happiness of countless people, why can't those in power give up their ambition? For their own selfish desires, they have destroyed the happiness of countless people. Instead, they have to say that they are willing. What a robber's theory. "
No one in the room expected Lin Mengya, the princess of a country, to have such an opinion.
"Your Highness, you're wrong. Since ancient times, there have been constant conflicts between different countries. Indeed, there is ambition. However, if your country is enslaved and trampled on, would you tolerate it? "
The western vassal state was a vassal state of Dajin and had to pay taxes every year.
The best resources were controlled by the State of Jin, which was indeed a little unfair for a country.
"Would a marriage be able to solve the problem? The conflict of interests between countries could not be resolved with just a few words. One hundred and twenty years ago, the western vassal state had a strong army while Dajin was weak. The western vassal state was besieging the city. The king of Dajin led his officials to surrender, but in the end, one hundred and fifty thousand people were killed and the royal family of the western vassal state humiliated the nobles of Dajin. How do you think Dajin should deal with the western vassal state? "
These were all history. Lin Mengya had been reading history books for the past few days.
The feud between the western vassal state and Dajin ran deep. Even if a marriage was arranged, the two countries would inevitably go to war in the future.
At that time, Baizhi would be the first to bear the brunt.
"Look, I've gone too far. Don't worry, Miss Baizhi will not be wronged when she arrives in the western vassal state. "
As the saying goes, one does not hit a smiling face. Now that Princess Ming Yue had taken the initiative to speak in a gentler tone and a smile appeared on her face, Lin Mengya took the opportunity to ease up as well. However, she still did not give in to her words.
"Whether she will be wronged or not is a matter for later. Please go back and tell the crown prince that if he wants to marry my maid, he has to show his sincerity. Otherwise, I will not agree even if King Ming comes to me personally. "
Princess Ming Yue's face darkened when she saw how determined Lin Mengya was.
She got up and hurried out of Lin Mengya's tent. In her heart, she must be scolding Lin Mengya for not knowing what was good for her.
Lin Mengya fell into deep thought as she looked at Baizhi's relieved face.
If this matter was not resolved, it would always be a big problem for her.
"Master, something bad has happened. The white tiger has escaped from its cage. Everyone in the camp is hunting it down! "
Baishao ran into the tent in shock. It was a mess outside.
Lin Mengya carried Snow in her arms and ran to the entrance of the tent to find out what was going on.
"Why did this tiger come out?
Lin Mengya stood behind the crowd and stood on her tiptoes to see what was going on.
The tents of the various families had already been surrounded by layers of Imperial Guards. One could only see people coming and going outside, and it was bustling with noise and excitement.
"I heard that it was for the hunt in three days, so the tiger must be in its best condition. The person who went to feed it accidentally opened the lock and the tiger escaped. "
