Perhaps Princess Yu was reluctant to admit her mistake.
After all, not every woman could be magnanimous enough to share a husband with someone else.
Especially for a beautiful woman like Princess Yu, she must be very unwilling and unwilling at this moment.
Ming Yue gave Lin Mengya a venomous look, but she soon calmed down.
It was very useful for her to please Concubine De these days.
Concubine De had promised her that Prince Yu would marry her as his vice concubine.
Even if Lin Mengya did not agree, it would be Concubine De who made the decision.
At this moment, she was relieved and focused on playing the role of a wronged wife.
Since she could not compete with Lin Mengya in terms of impression, it was not bad to gain some sympathy.
Vice Princess Dugu understood the subtle atmosphere between the two of them very well. She smiled meaningfully and turned her attention to the other guests.
Baizhi, who had been following behind Lin Mengya, twitched her mouth and said,
"Who are you pretending to be pitiful? You make my master look like a tiger aunt. "
Lin Mengya picked up the fragrant tea on the table, took a sip gracefully, and said casually,
"I'm showing it to the whole world. I also like the title of shrew. It's domineering."
Baizhi and Baisu looked at each other in surprise.
Since Miss Yue Ting passed away, Lin Mengya had not said her classic Lins' sayings for a long time.
But it seemed that Lin Mengya had recovered today.
Good sign!
"The Crown Prince and Prince Yu —"
The eunuch announced two consecutive announcements, and finally the candidates for the best actor in the Capital City's Night Talk.
Long Tianhao, the best gossip actor, appeared out of nowhere before the news of the Crown Prince's desertion subsided.
Now, both of them were famous figures in the gossip circle in the Capital City.
But at this moment, the expressions on the faces of the two leading men were not so relaxed.
The Crown Prince looked worried about the country and the people. Lin Mengya only took a glance at him and knew that he must have been reprimanded by the Queen recently.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be dissatisfaction hidden in that sorrowful face of hers.
Although Long Tianhao's expression was not good, it was just his usual indifferent look.
However, for these two people to appear at the same time, it was indeed a little unusual.
"Third Brother, as your big brother, I hope you can think it over carefully. Not everyone has this kind of opportunity. "
The Crown Prince lowered his voice and said with a hint of anger.
"Thank you, Crown Prince and Empress, for your kind intentions. However, I need to report this to my Imperial Father before I can make the final decision."
Long Tianhao did not give in at all. Early in the morning, the Empress summoned him to the palace.
Although they said that they wanted to discuss the Mid-Autumn Night Banquet, in fact, it was about the betrothal of Ming Yue to him.
Long Tianhao refused without hesitation, which made the Crown Prince and the Queen look very interesting.
"Don't act on impulse. I know you have a deep relationship with your princess, but Ming Yue is infatuated with you."
If Ming Yue had not insisted on marrying Long Tianhao, the Crown Prince would have thought of taking Ming Yue as his concubine.
Marriage was, to a certain extent, a reliable way to form an alliance.
However, Long Tianhao did not know what was good for him.
"Don't worry, Crown Prince. I know what to do."
He glanced at the light purple figure sitting on the seat.
Long Tianhao's heart trembled slightly. He ended the argument with the Crown Prince and strode to the side of the female guest seats.
Ming Yue's heart was overflowing with pride.
These days, in order to create opportunities for her and Long Tianhao, Concubine De had always asked Long Tianhao to go to the Art Courtyard to chat.
And her sweet smile could more or less leave an impression on Long Tianhao.
Compared to Lin Mengya, who claimed to be sick in the courtyard and even Concubine De was not satisfied with, Long Tianhao should value her more.
She was full of expectation that Long Tianhao would stop by her side, even if it was a smile or a greeting.
However, that slender and handsome figure did not hesitate to run towards her and make a clean turn.
Not to mention greeting him, they didn't even exchange glances with each other.
Long Tianhao walked to Lin Mengya, who was drinking tea with her head down. Miraculously, the expression on Long Tianhao's face softened.
"Can your body still take it? Do you want to go back early? "
Long Tianhao asked the woman in front of him in a low and gentle voice, completely ignoring the surrounding people who were so shocked that their jaws dropped to the ground.
"I'm fine, Your Highness."
Lin Mengya raised her head and gave a beautiful smile. In an instant, the people around them automatically suppressed the gossip about Prince Yu's Mansion.
Princess Ming Yue was nothing. Look, it was the original wife who was smiling so brightly.
Long Tianhao returned to the male guest seats after the host and guests had taken their seats.
She did not know whether it was intentional or not, but Long Tianhao's seat was facing Princess Ming Yue's.
Lin Mengya sneered in her heart. Did he think that he could make the two of them go against each other?
He was too naive!
Long Tianhao did not make eye contact with Ming Yue throughout the whole process.
Not to mention making eye contact, Princess Ming Yue's amorous glances were enough to fill a carriage. But Long Tianhao had mercilessly wasted them all.
On the contrary, his eyes fell on Lin Mengya from time to time.
He only started to exchange pleasantries with others after he was sure that she was really fine.
"I knew that the prince dotes on our princess the most."
Baizhi said proudly. She had completely forgotten how she had criticized Long Tianhao in the morning.
"That's enough. Stop talking nonsense. Baisu, help me up. Let's go to the courtyard and have a rest. "
No matter what, Lin Mengya had just recovered from a serious illness.
Although the banquet hall was spacious, she still felt a little stuffy.
The two maidservants helped Lin Mengya out of her seat obediently.
Long Tianhao felt a little anxious when he saw her disappearing into the crowd.
He wanted to leave and follow her, but the Crown Prince pressed his shoulder.
"Let's have a drink, Third Brother. It's all my fault in the past. Don't take it to heart. "
The Crown Prince said with a smile, holding a glass of wine.
Long Tianhao had no choice but to continue drinking with the Crown Prince unwillingly.
Baizhi and Baisu were accompanying Lin Mengya. She should be fine.
The Crown Prince's courtyard was not as luxurious as the palace, but it was quiet and beautiful.
Every piece of grass and stone was carefully studied by skilled craftsmen, so it was especially exquisite.
The cool night wind gradually blew away her stuffiness. She wandered around the Crown Prince's courtyard casually.
Several maidservants who were responsible for serving food hurried past Lin Mengya with food boxes.
Suddenly, Lin Mengya stopped one of them and asked casually,
"What's in it?"
Although the maidservant who was stopped did not know which noble master was in front of her, she still answered respectfully,
"Madam, it's Yulu Soup."
"Oh, I see. No wonder it smells so fragrant."
Lin Mengya said with a smile and let the maidservant go.
"Master, do you also want to eat Yulu Soup?"
Baizhi's eyes lit up. Her master seldom said what she wanted to eat. Now that she was finally interested in Yulu Soup, she must seize the opportunity.
"No, let's go over there and have a look."
After thinking for a while, Lin Mengya suddenly felt strange, but she did not meddle.
There was a row of wing rooms at the back of the banquet hall, which were prepared for the guests who could not drink.
As soon as Lin Mengya stepped on the crossroads, there was a strange fragrance mixed in the air and floated faintly in the air.
"Master, why don't we go to the room and have a rest?"
Baizhi suggested. Lin Mengya nodded and took the two maidservants into one of the wing rooms.
"Don't light the lamp, I also want to have a rest."
In the dark, Lin Mengya sat on the bed. Baisu, who had excellent hearing, also stayed by the bed.
Only Baizhi was still thinking about the Yulu Soup, so she found an excuse and secretly went to the kitchen to ask for it.
The small wing room was very elegant and quiet, so they could faintly hear the music and the noise in front.
Lin Mengya did not close her eyes at all. Instead, she opened them wide and looked out of the window.
"Master, is there anything wrong with the bowl of Yulu Soup just now?"
Baisu was meticulous and immediately found something unusual.
Lin Mengya nodded. But now, she was just guessing.
Not too long later, he saw a few manservants supporting a person over.
That person seemed to be drunk, completely leaning on the servant's body.
However, he went into the wing room diagonally opposite and still did not light the lamp. Instead, after settling down, he quietly left.
"Who could that person be?" Lin Mengya was puzzled, so she quietly went out with Baisu.
The door was locked from the outside, which made Lin Mengya feel even more strange.
After looking around and seeing that there was no one around, she pulled out a hairpin from her hair and quietly picked the door lock.
"Master —"
"Shh!"
It was really difficult to open an ancient lock. Lin Mengya tried for a long time, but the door lock did not move at all.
"Master —"
"Shh, don't talk."
She tried a few more times. Why did it not open?
Lin Mengya began to think in her heart, "Could it be that all the ancient dramas are lies?"
"Master —"
"Shh! What if someone finds out? "
Lin Mengya was anxious and directly reached out to cover Baisu's mouth.
This girl was usually very quiet. Why was she so talkative today?
"Master, I want to say that what you did is wrong!"
Baisu, who struggled to get rid of Lin Mengya's hand covering her mouth, said hurriedly.
Turning around, Lin Mengya saw her maidservant's expression and did not know whether to laugh or cry. Lin Mengya smiled embarrassedly and put the hairpin back on her hair.
"This is how to open the lock. Get up first."
Lin Mengya automatically stepped back, and Baisu took off a ring from her finger.
She did not know what kind of material the ring was made of, but when she pressed a small mechanism inside, it turned into an iron needle as thick as a toothpick.
Baisu quickly and neatly pried open the lock inside.
