Although Lin Mengya was grounded, it was only a matter of time before she was released.
Even the imperial guards outside had left. It seemed that the Empress and the Crown Prince could do nothing to her.
Or perhaps, they were preparing some new moves.
There was no place in the mansion that Lin Mengya couldn't go to.
Except for Long Tianhao, no one else could enter the study. But now, it was unimpeded for her.
"Where's the Prince?"
Lin Mengya was surprised that Long Tianhao was not in the study.
Every afternoon, Long Tianhao would deal with some affairs in the study.
"Your Highness, the Prince was taken away by the Seventh Prince. He said that he had something to deal with."
Steward Deng followed behind Lin Mengya and reported.
"Okay, I got it."
Long Qinghan didn't come to the mansion these days. He must be affected by this matter.
Lin Mengya didn't think too much about it. She carefully looked at every corner in the study.
"The Prince didn't say what is missing recently?"
Lin Mengya asked. Steward Deng thought hard and then shook his head.
"The items that Your Highness uses are usually limited in number. And no one is allowed to touch the things inside without His Highness's order. "
Lin Mengya nodded at Steward Deng's answer.
Long Tianhao's desk and the books in the study were all in line with his habits.
Moreover, Long Tianyi was so meticulous that he wouldn't miss any abnormality.
Lin Mengya walked around the study room, not even sparing the mouse holes in the corners of the walls.
After carefully touching it, he still didn't find anything.
If she hid something, where would she choose to hide it?
Lin Mengya raised her head and looked at the beam.
Wang Hanlin was a civil official, so he didn't know martial arts.
Long Tianhao must have thought so too. That place must have not been searched.
"Baisu, go up and see if anyone has tampered with the corner."
Baisu nodded. Then, she leaped up and flew onto the roof beam.
The group of people raised their heads and looked at the nimble monkey who was jumping around on the roof beams.
"Miss Baisu's lightness skill is really good."
Anyone who knew the background of this group of weirdos in Lin Mengya's yard could not help but be curious.
Lin Mengya felt proud of Steward Deng's praise.
"Fortunately, her kung fu is only ranked third in our courtyard."
When it came to martial arts, Qinghu was indeed the best in Liuxin Courtyard.
Night had not appeared recently, but Lin Mengya knew that he must be hiding somewhere.
As long as someone threatened her life, Ye would come out to save her.
Xiao Yu's martial arts had improved rapidly under the careful guidance of that group of people.
In the future, her small courtyard would become an impenetrable fortress.
"Master, there's something!"
Baisu pulled down a small box from the beam.
"Master, I found this."
Lin Mengya took the box and opened it. There was a small wax pill inside.
"Let's go back first. Now, remember, don't let anyone know that you discovered this thing."
"Yes."
The calm and tranquil situation did not last long.
The Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet finally came as scheduled.
As the official Princess Yu, Lin Mengya had to go to the palace with Concubine De on August 15th to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet.
After lunch, Concubine De sent Aunt Jinyue to check on Lin Mengya's preparation.
"Aunt, you haven't been here for a long time."
As soon as she arrived in Liuxin Courtyard, Baiji immediately greeted her warmly.
But today, Aunt Jinyue looked a little haggard and her smile was a little forced.
"Yes, Concubine De has been a little busy recently. By the way, is Princess Yu ready? "
Baiji nodded with a hint of embarrassment on her face.
"Aunt, you came at the right time. We are all country girls and don't know what is the taboo to attend the palace banquet. We are in a dilemma now."
What Baiji said was true. As Prince Yu's wife, this was the first time that Lin Mengya attended a family banquet in the palace.
Although it was a family banquet, in fact, there were more things to consider.
In addition to what had happened a while ago, there would be a lot of people trying to make trouble for Princess Yu.
In the room, Lin Mengya felt dizzy because of her maidservants.
Wasn't it just a Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet? Why was it so complicated?
"You'd better not wear this green and phoenix hairpin. In my opinion, the peony hairpin in Baizhi's hand is really good."
A familiar voice came from behind.
Lin Mengya saw Aunt Jinyue's familiar smiling face in the bronze mirror.
"My auntie, you've finally come. If you didn't come, I would have been tortured to death by them. "
Whether it was Long Tianhao or Lin Mengya, their relationship with Aunt Jinyue was not as simple as that of master and servant.
"Let me come. Speaking of it, it's also my fault. The girls don't know the rules in the palace. I will tell you later. "
She skillfully rolled up Lin Mengya's black hair and carefully drew her delicate eyebrows and eyes in the mirror.
But somehow, Lin Mengya always felt that Aunt Jinyue seemed to be different from usual today.
Did Concubine De have any difficulties in tonight's palace banquet?
"You go to prepare first. I want to talk to Aunt Jinyue."
The four maids all left, leaving only Jinyue and Lin Mengya in the room.
"Aunt, you seem to be troubled by something. Why don't you tell me? Maybe I can help you."
Looking at the indigo between her eyebrows, Lin Mengya hesitated for a moment and finally put it on the dressing table.
Jinyue looked at Lin Mengya with a bitter smile. The princess was so smart that she could never hide her thoughts from her.
"You'd better not know some things, Princess. If you know it, I'm afraid it will only add to your troubles. "
Lin Mengya smiled and looked at the beautiful girl in the mirror with red lips and white teeth.
"If you don't want to tell me, why do you show such a worried look? Auntie, with your intelligence and experience, how could you be like the others, worrying about your worries? "
Although Lin Mengya and Jinyue had a relationship of their own.
But some things, after all, needed to be weighed again and again.
A trace of appreciation flashed through Jinyue's eyes, and the worry on her face also disappeared.
She put the last comb in her hand into Lin Mengya's hair.
The dignified and dignified girl with a head full of pearls and jade was so gorgeous.
"Princess, you come from the Lin Family. Have you heard the name of Prince Lingnan?"
Prince Lingnan? Lin Mengya thought for a while and seemed to have heard it from her father.
This prince was the most favored prince of the late emperor.
But it was also because of this favor that the prince lost the qualification to inherit the throne.
But fortunately, Prince Lingnan had always been close to the emperor.
Therefore, even when the emperor ascended the throne, his favor to Prince Lingnan, his younger brother, was still increasing.
"Prince Lingnan used to be a dashing and elegant man, a rare and handsome man. The noble ladies in the capital city also liked this prince very much. Among them, there was a noble lady who met and fell in love with Prince Lingnan. But because of various reasons, they didn't get married in the end. "
Although Jinyue didn't say who it was, Lin Mengya could roughly guess.
Maybe this noble lady was talking about the one in the Art Courtyard.
But she had an affair with Prince Lingnan and was selected to the palace. She was quite favored.
It seemed that this mother-in-law of hers must have been a femme fatale in the past.
"Aunt, if you have any concerns, you can tell me. Although Mengya is young and naive, I know what to do. "
Jinyue paused and looked a little embarrassed.
"The prince will also come to the palace banquet this time. You know, the Empress always dislikes the people in our mansion. In the past, some people used to make a fuss about the relationship between the prince and Concubine at the family banquet. I don't have anything else to say. I just hope that the princess can prepare in advance. "
In a word, the relationship between Concubine De and Prince Lingnan was a scandal in the palace.
It was okay in normal times, but all the relatives of the emperor had to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet.
This matter would most likely be brought up again in the past.
"Don't worry. I have a plan. Aunt, don't worry. Thank you for reminding me. I won't let anyone look down on the prince's mansion. "
Making a fuss about this seemed like something the Empress would do.
As long as Prince Lingnan and Concubine De were still alive, this matter would not be easily forgotten.
She didn't expect that there would be so many troubles.
Concubine De's letter arrived before Lin Mengya had even finished dealing with it.
It was really hard to guard against it.
As dusk approached, one carriage after another stopped at the southwest corner of the palace gate.
The princes and princes all rode through the gate. They walked to the Chonghua Gate and then walked to the Chun 'en Hall where the banquet was held.
As for the princess and the old concubines, they got out of the carriage and were carried to the gate of the Chun 'en Hall by a small vermilion sedan chair.
Ordinary relatives had to walk in after getting out of the carriage.
When the carriage of Concubine De and Lin Mengya arrived at the small gate of the new southeast corner, they attracted a lot of attention.
Concubine De not only brought Jinyue and Jingyue with her, but also four first-class maids followed behind her.
She was especially eye-catching among the women.
She was tall, and now she was wearing a dark purple coat with golden threads. The collar and cuffs were all made of the fur of the purple fox.
Together with the jade crown on her head and the pearl necklace which was the size of a thumb, she looked very noble.
She had a noble face with a polite and gentle smile. She was really noble and elegant.
"Hello, Sister Concubine De. You must be Princess Yu. Look, you are really a dragon and phoenix among the people. Sister Concubine De is really lucky. "
