Baizhi's face was filled with melancholy as she held a delicate food box in her hand.
Baiji and Baishao were drying the eiderdown quilt under the eaves.
"What's wrong? Did you not have enough for breakfast? I saw you ate five meat buns! "
Baiji smiled and pinched Bai Zhi's chubby cheeks.
"It's been five or six days. Prince Yu didn't come to visit Master. I even said many good things about Prince Yu in front of Master."
"Shh, lower your voice. Master will be worried if she hears you."
Baishao said in a low voice as she slapped Baizhi gently on the face.
The three of them sighed and shook their heads as they looked at Lin Mengya's door.
Everyone thought that Prince Yu and Princess Yu would stick to each other like before.
However, they didn't expect that after that day, they didn't step into Liuxin Courtyard for five or six days.
In contrast, Princess Ming Yue went to Concubine De's Art Courtyard to pay her respects.
Lin Mengya was sick and had no time to manage the house.
Concubine De started to manage the house. As such, Ming Yue gave advice from the side.
The servants in the mansion were guessing that Princess Ming Yue would be the concubine in charge of the affairs the moment she married into the mansion.
Those who were quick-witted began to take advantage of the situation and tried to get close to their future mistress.
However, they didn't dare to neglect the real princess.
"Baisu, are the chrysanthemums in the courtyard in full bloom?"
Lin Mengya sat in front of the window and looked out at the courtyard.
The medicine prescribed by the imperial physician, as well as the elixirs that Lin Zhongyu and Qinghu got from somewhere, flowed into her stomach like water.
However, no one knew that the reason why she had recovered so quickly was because the radar in her mind had provided her with the best antidote for the poison.
After following her for a long time, that cold mechanical voice actually gave her a sense of familiarity.
Perhaps, the only connection between her and her modern self, apart from memories, was the voice of the radar.
Even after half a month of recuperation, she still couldn't recover her previous cute and mellow appearance.
Perhaps because of her weak body, Lin Mengya looked thin and slender, like a willow branch in the wind.
There was rarely a smile on her clean and beautiful face.
That pair of eyes that could see through people's hearts often looked into the distance, thinking about something.
"Well, I heard that you love chrysanthemums. These days, Qinghu and the young master have transplanted a lot of precious chrysanthemums here. Why don't I help you out to take a look? "
Among the four maids, Baisu was the only one who never left her side.
Lin Mengya nodded and stood up from the bed. Baisu carefully supported him and walked out of the room with him.
"Master, it's very windy outside. Be careful."
Baiji hurriedly went into the room to fetch the cyan golden cloak that Lin Zhongyu had given her and put it on her.
Lin Mengya's slender figure was covered by the large cloak, making her look even more petite and weak.
"It's nothing, I just came out to look at your chrysanthemums. You go ahead with your work and let Baisu stay with me. "
Since Yue Ting's accident, Lin Mengya had fought for the last bit of glory for Yue Ting.
However, she seemed to be disheartened and didn't even care about the affairs in the mansion.
Lin Mengya walked to the small pavilion in the courtyard. The whole courtyard was covered with withered yellow flowers. The bright colors of the summer had turned into a desolate forest now.
"Lass, why did you come out? Be careful not to catch a cold. Look, these are the green chrysanthemums I found for you. They are very precious. "
Late autumn was not the best time to transplant chrysanthemums. However, Qinghu and Lin Zhongyu had somehow found a way to plant chrysanthemums of all sizes in Liuxin Courtyard.
At this moment, Qinghu was excitedly holding a pot of light green chrysanthemums in front of Lin Mengya as a gift.
"Well, the color is very elegant. It suits you very well."
Baizhi brought up a cup of hot tea and refused to leave Lin Mengya's side.
Fortunately, everyone in the courtyard knew that Baizhi was Lin Mengya's follower, so no one said anything.
"Naughty girl, you only know how to mock me. Oh yes, this is the title deed. I've already bought the house for you. But what do you want such a big house for? "
Qinghu secretly took out a thin title deed from his bosom.
Lin Mengya didn't even look at it. She handed it to Baizhi and asked her to lock it in the small storeroom.
Lin Mengya took a sip of the fragrant tea on the table and said calmly,
"To buy a house, of course, I want to open a shop. Moreover, didn't you say that after the battle of Peach Blossom Dock, many killers have the intention to leave? "
A ray of light flashed in Lin Mengya's eyes.
She wasn't depressed after the setback. On the contrary, she wanted to plot more.
"You're right. But the power behind Peach Blossom Dock is cruel and merciless. If they know about this, it won't be easy for them to die. "
As the former master of Peach Blossom Dock, Qinghu was very clear about the means of his former master.
Although he didn't know why Peach Blossom Dock would attack the courtiers. But after this battle, Peach Blossom Dock had suffered a great loss and was no longer as prominent as before.
"Isn't it just to poison you and control you? I can detoxify you. Moreover, I'll offer you more attractive terms than Peach Blossom Dock. "
Lin Mengya's lips curled up into a cold smile.
As the saying went, men die in pursuit of wealth, while birds die in pursuit of food. These days, she secretly asked someone to count her dowry.
Her father and brother really doted on her. They even gave her some antiques and paintings that couldn't be sold. Her father almost used half of the Lin family to accompany her.
As the saying goes, money makes the world go round.
I believe that not everyone likes the days of licking blood on the tip of a knife.
"That's true. You're so bold to steal from Peach Blossom Dock. Actually, I admire you more and more. "
Qinghu, who was eager to see the world in chaos, was not afraid of making things worse.
Although the little girl in front of him seemed to be calm and quiet, the evil ideas in her mind made him want to slap the table and praise her.
Lin Mengya had her own plans. Su Meiyun, the Crown Prince, and the Queen.
She would not let any of them go.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince's Mansion has sent an invitation to you and Princess Ming Yue to attend the banquet of the Crown Prince's vice Princess."
Steward Deng reported outside the door.
Lin Mengya lowered her eyes. The Crown Prince's vice Princess Dugu's banquet?
That woman was not a good person.
"I know, I'll go tonight."
She would deal with the situation as it happened. She had not had a chance to fight with the Crown Prince.
It was like someone handed her a pillow when she was sleepy. Tonight, she would meet the Crown Prince and the vice Princess!
It was the Mid-Autumn Festival. In addition to the banquet held in the palace, each prince's mansion was also holding a small family banquet.
Among them, the Crown Prince's Mansion was the most grand and lively one.
Lin Mengya tidied herself up and arrived at the Crown Prince's Mansion before dark.
Everyone in the Capital City knew that Princess Yu had caught a cold. She had just recovered from a serious illness, so she looked haggard like yesterday's flowers.
Recently, the news that Prince Yu was going to marry Princess Ming Yue of the western vassal state had also caused a stir.
Many people were waiting to see Lin Mengya make a fool of herself.
However, no one expected that when she got out of the sedan chair, all the gorgeously dressed beauties around her became mere decorations.
"Princess Yu has arrived —"
The servant at the door immediately announced.
Almost everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Mengya.
However, she was radiant and graceful. In an instant, many nosy people stopped talking.
In fact, Princess Ming Yue, who had followed behind her into the room, was instantly compared to her, and looked like a gloomy sparrow.
"How dare a firefly compete with the sun and the moon. She is really overestimating herself."
In the crowd, it wasn't just someone who said this.
In an instant, she was praised by most of the people. The smile on Ming Yue's face froze for a moment, but she still smiled gently.
Occasionally, when she glanced at Lin Mengya, there was a trace of hatred in her eyes.
"Greetings to the vice Princess. I hope you won't blame me for being late."
It was as if the unhappiness in the camp had never happened between the two of them.
Lin Mengya bowed graciously. The vice Princess Dugu put her arms around Lin Mengya's shoulders like a good sister.
"Get up quickly. We haven't seen each other for a long time. I was so worried when I heard that you were ill. "
The vice Princess Dugu had a warm smile on her face all along.
She had personally led Lin Mengya to her seat. Not many people could enjoy such a prestigious honor.
"Thanks to Your Highness, Mengya is fine. Thank you for your concern."
Lin Mengya's expression was impeccable.
The people around them all thought that they were close friends.
Only Lin Mengya knew in her heart how guarded she was against this woman.
"Oh yes, why didn't His Highness come with you?"
The vice Princess Dugu pretended to look at the door and a puzzled look appeared on her face.
Lin Mengya lowered her head and smiled without saying a word.
"His Highness was summoned to the palace by the Crown Prince to discuss the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, so he is not at home."
Ming Yue told Lin Mengya about Long Tianhao's whereabouts like a serious Princess Yu.
After saying this with a smile, Ming Yue looked as if she had done something wrong. She looked at Lin Mengya and lowered her head without saying a word.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little strange.
"This … It seems that there will be a big celebration in the mansion soon. Princess Yu, I have to congratulate you in advance. "
The vice Princess Dugu's words confirmed the rumor.
This gossip began to spread in people's minds.
Although Ming Yue was not married yet, it seemed that she was more favored by Prince Yu than Lin Mengya, the princess.
Lin Mengya smiled and did not take the rumor to heart.
Instead, she glanced at Ming Yue and said,
"It can be considered a joyous occasion. Not long after, it will be His Highness's birthday. You have a good memory, the vice Princess. You almost forgot about me. "
She had whetted everyone's appetite, but she said something that was not what they had expected.
Lin Mengya's behavior made people suspicious.
