This is the foundation of a great country that has not changed for thousands of years?
Lin Mengya only felt that her chest seemed to be pressed by a heavy stone.
After getting off the carriage and entering the palace gate, Lin Mengya changed to a small sedan.
The palace was a little deserted, probably because of the martial law. The palace people were all in a hurry, and the guards who patrolled back and forth were full of vigilance.
Lin Mengya did not look around, but honestly sat in the sedan and let the sedan bearers and Qin Shuang take her to the deep palace.
"Miss, we are here."
The sedan stopped, Lin Mengya got off the sedan, in front of the vermilion gate, the three words "Chongming Palace" were extremely solemn.
After entering the courtyard, Lin Mengya was the first time to see such a simple but elegant palace with the luxury of the royal family everywhere.
She was taken to the side hall by Qin Shuang, which was spacious and bright, and the tables and chairs were complete, like a small reception room.
After Qin Shuang let her sit, he called someone to come in and serve tea.
Then he went out for a while and came back to Lin Mengya.
"Miss, don't be impatient, the Emperor is meeting guests inside, and will call you inside to talk in a while."
"Thank you for your guidance, Lord Qin."
Qin Shuang knew that this was Gong Ya's previous words of gratitude.
But this time, the corners of his mouth curled into a bitter smile.
"Well … Miss, be careful to deal with it."
"Don't worry, Gong Ya knows."
Qin Shuang nodded and retreated with people.
Lin Mengya sat on the chair and took a sip of tea.
This tea was good tea, and it was the tea she was used to drinking at home.
There was no bitter taste, but also a little sweet on the tip of the tongue.
Lin Mengya noticed that the teacup was similar to the one at home, like a white jade bone porcelain teacup.
This was not common in Wei Country, just her personal preference.
Therefore, now these two things were seen in the Emperor's palace, which could only show that the Emperor knew her living habits like the back of his hand.
Was he trying to intimidate her in secret?
Lin Mengya put down the teacup and waited in the side hall with a calm mind.
Anyway, she had the Shen Nung system to relieve boredom, and she could go to the system to see things.
No one could compete with her in terms of patience.
After a long time, she heard movement at the door.
He immediately stood up and went over to welcome the Rear Honored Personage, bowing to her.
"Gong Ya greets Your Highness."
"Get up."
Today, the Empress was wearing a green coat and skirt, and her black hair was tied up in an elegant bun.
Unlike the imagined escort, Qin Shuang was the only one behind the Houzun.
Although Lin Mengya couldn't figure out what he was thinking at the moment, she could roughly guess his intentions.
Qin Shuang stopped at the door and closed the door of the side hall for the two people.
"There are only the two of us here. Why are you still standing? Sit down."
The Rear Hall Master was the first to take a seat. There was a smile on her beautiful face.
After thanking him, Lin Mengya returned to her seat.
The Queen looked at her carefully, but Lin Mengya did not panic.
The Queen Mother generously allowed Kieran to study her thoroughly. Then, she spoke.
"You did a good job that day," Wang Chong said.
"You flatter me, Your Highness. In fact, it was all thanks to Lord Lian Sheng. Gong Ya is merely helping Lord Lian with his strength. "
As soon as she opened her mouth, she gave all the credit to Lian Sheng.
The Queen Mother was a little surprised for a moment, and then she showed a somewhat satisfied look.
Very good, it seemed that she didn't need to beat her.
The atmosphere suddenly eased, and the Queen Mother's attitude towards her became slightly gentler.
"Yes, Lian Sheng did prepare for a rainy day, but you also contributed a lot."
Lin Mengya finally breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, her behavior was Lian Sheng's preparation for the safety of Dragon City.
In that case, she would not be suspected of plotting a rebellion.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
"You're young, but you're very reliable. I've heard about what happened to you. It must have been hard for you to have such courage. "
Next, it was the time for Lin Mengya to flatter each other, which was very familiar to her.
After the experience of Concubine De and the King of Lieyun, she had already understood the psychology of such a noble lady.
Therefore, when she spoke, her words were as sweet as honey, and every word was stuck to the bottom of the Queen Mother's heart.
After this, although the Empress Senior didn't dote on her as if she was her own daughter, her impression of her had changed by quite a bit.
Lin Mengya also found that the Queen Mother was different from the noble ladies she had met before.
If Concubine De was a canary, and the Queen was a good wife, then the Queen Mother was a real woman with a broad mind.
Even Lin Mengya, who had received modern education, was surprised by some of her words. Therefore, she was more in awe of the Queen Mother.
However, the topic of their conversation eventually landed on yesterday's chaos.
"His Majesty and I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly, but unfortunately …"
The Queen Mother frowned slightly. She seemed to have encountered some difficulties.
Lin Mengya understood after thinking for a while.
What her fourth brother knew, the Queen Mother and the Emperor might also know.
Unfortunately, if this matter really had something to do with the Divine Temple, the royal family would have to bear with it.
After all, people could be beaten down, but people's hearts could be destroyed.
She also understood why the Crown Prince was one of the candidates for the leader of the Divine Temple.
Only when the theocracy and the royal power were united could they avoid future troubles.
Unfortunately, things never went according to one's wishes.
"Forget it. I summoned you here today just to see if you're okay. Now that I've seen you, I'm relieved. You should know that this matter shouldn't be publicized. If you have any request, why don't you tell me in private? "
This was a good opportunity. As long as she mentioned returning to the Gong Family, the Queen Mother would agree immediately.
Moreover, she also understood that the choice of the Crown Prince's wife was actually decided by the Emperor and the Queen Mother.
Her identity meant that she was not suitable to be the Crown Prince's wife. Moreover, with the relationship between the Emperor and the Queen Mother, she had achieved half of her purpose of coming here.
Unfortunately, she couldn't leave now.
After thinking for a while, Lin Mengya still said what she had long prepared.
"Since Your Highness has said so, I'll be so bold as to ask for a favor."
"Just say it."
"Although I haven't lived in the Gong Family since I was young, my family members have been talking about the benefits of the Emperor and Your Highness since I came back. An innocent man gets into trouble because of his wealth. The reason why the Gong Family suffered such a disaster was that their wealth, which could rival the wealth of a country, was coveted by others. The Gong Family has always been aloof from worldly affairs and only wanted to protect themselves. Therefore, I hope that Your Highness and His Majesty can restore peace to the Gong Family. "
The Queen Mother raised her eyes slightly and looked at her thoughtfully.
"This is easy. I can ask the Emperor for an edict to stop all the families from harassing the Gong Family in the future. What do you think?"
Lin Mengya shook her head and said solemnly.
"This can only ensure the safety of the Gong Family for a while. I know that the Emperor and the Queen Mother are merciful. Therefore, the Gong Family pleads with the Emperor and the Queen Mother to accept all the property of the Gong Family! "
The Queen Mother's pupils shrank, but only for a moment.
"What do you mean, Gong Ya?"
"Your Highness, I know that the money is just a drop in the bucket for Your Highness and His Majesty. It's not of much use. But for the Gong Family, it can save their lives. Please have mercy on the Gong Family, Your Highness. "
Lin Mengya knelt in front of the Queen Mother and begged with a hint of sobbing in her voice.
For him to send her money, it was enough to show his sincerity.
She seemed to think for a long time before she heard the Back Honored Being slowly say something.
"This matter … I will agree on behalf of His Majesty. However, the Gong Family has a large population. If you give them all, how will the family live in the future? Well, keep half of it and don't make it public. But … this matter can't be done with great fanfare. Have you thought about how to dispel the evil thoughts of the Gong Family from the other families? "
When the Queen Mother spoke, Lin Mengya knew that it was done.
She quickly got up and smiled with tears in her eyes.
"You're right, Your Highness. I also think this matter can't be made public. Therefore, the Gong Family will set up a public school from now on. The Gong Family will teach in the fief and work for the public school to make a living. However, this matter still needs the approval of Your Highness and His Majesty. "
Education, for the Empress and the Emperor, was obviously an arduous task like clear water.
In their eyes, the Gong Family not only spent the rest of the family's wealth, but also cultivated talents for the other families.
It was simply a losing deal.
However, the Queen Mother was the Queen Mother. She soon realized the hidden meaning of Gong Ya.
Her eyes flashed, but she didn't immediately answer her request.
"This matter is very important. I have to discuss it with His Majesty. Why don't you wait patiently in Dragon City first? When this matter is settled, I will give you an answer. "
"Yes, it's all up to Your Highness and His Majesty."
Lin Mengya left obediently. Qin Shuang went inside first and then led Lin Mengya back the way they came.
Different from the uneasiness when she came in, she could be said to be calm now.
She more or less knew the temperament of the Emperor and the Queen Mother. They were not that kind of greedy people.
The money was indeed very important to them, but it was not to the point where they were blinded by it.
For her request, they still had to calculate the gains and losses.
In their position, in addition to considering the interests of the royal family, how to maintain their own position and how to benefit the people of Wei State to the greatest extent was probably not easy to think about.
But she was sure that the Emperor and the Queen Mother would definitely agree.
She relaxed in her heart, and sleepiness came over her.
After she forced herself to return to the small courtyard where she temporarily stayed, she fell on the bed without saying anything.
The world was big, but sleep was the most important!
She slept all the way until the next morning.
