She looked like she was in her thirties.
Her figure was plump, and her face was as beautiful as a peach.
She was different from other nobility's wives. She looked like a prostitute.
However, she was dressed in a luxurious robe and looked very arrogant.
Lin Mengya guessed that this woman must be a concubine of another family.
Even if she was the princess, she must not be from a noble family.
"Isn't this Princess Qinan? What's wrong? You've just become the Princess, and you dare to be impolite to Concubine De. You're so petty. "
Another harsh voice was heard. Lin Mengya moved her eyes slightly and looked at the other woman.
That woman was noble and elegant, but there was a hint of anger in her eyes and eyebrows.
Moreover, she was straightforward. She must be from a noble family.
As expected, the one who was called Princess Qinan dared not say a word when she saw the harsh woman.
But there was some dissatisfaction in her eyes.
"Greetings, Concubine De and Princess Yu."
The woman snorted and bowed to Concubine De and Lin Mengya according to the rules.
Lin Mengya returned the greeting. She could not say anything in the presence of Concubine De.
"Princess Lingnan, I haven't seen you for a long time. You're still as straightforward as before. Ya 'er, logically speaking, this is your Sixth Aunt. "
Princess Lingnan? Lin Mengya raised her head and looked at the woman in front of her secretly.
How could it be so coincidental to meet Princess Lingnan at the door?
However, Concubine De and the princess seemed to be very familiar with each other.
Did she not care about the old affair between her husband and Concubine De?
It didn't seem like it.
The women were transported to Chun 'en Hall one by one in small sedan chairs.
Lin Mengya only brought Baisu here because Concubine De was afraid that she would break the rules. She also arranged Jinyue to follow her.
"Aunt, it seems that the princess is very close to mother."
Lin Mengya couldn't help asking in the sedan chair.
Jinyue lowered her voice and answered her question briefly.
"Princess Lingnan is Concubine De's cousin. Therefore, the two of them had always been close. Moreover, although the princess had no children, she was favored and trusted by the prince. Concubine De is also involved in this. "
She didn't have any children, but she was still favored by her husband.
Lin Mengya seemed to understand something. After all, not every woman in ancient times pursued a unique love.
Suddenly, she was curious about the love between Concubine De and Prince Lingnan.
A peerless beauty and a dissolute prince. No wonder everyone was talking about them.
The Chun 'en Hall had already been renovated. As it was the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, the Mid-Autumn Festival, many places had been meticulously decorated.
Jinyue helped Lin Mengya to rest in the side hall.
Inside, Concubine De was sitting in the main seat, and Princess Lingnan was next to her.
"Ya 'er, come quickly. We're talking about you now. Come sit beside me."
Concubine De waved at her as she entered the room.
As for the remaining imperial concubines, some of them had seen her before, and some of them were seeing her for the first time.
Those who knew her background began to spread her legend again.
"Yes."
Lin Mengya walked over respectfully. She had an outstanding appearance, which was not inferior to a group of women.
Therefore, she did not feel surprised when several extremely unfriendly gazes landed on her.
"Alas, we're all old. A few years ago, when I saw Prince Yu, he was still a teenager. Now, he's married. Time flies. "
The relationship between Princess Lingnan and Concubine De was really good.
Lin Mengya said it naturally. In front of Concubine De, Lin Mengya just wanted to be a well-behaved wife.
Lin Mengya smiled and lowered her head shyly.
"By the way, Sister Concubine De, I'm here to ask you for a favor."
Princess Lingnan changed the topic and looked at Concubine De instead of Lin Mengya.
"Oh? What's the matter? Tell me. "
Concubine De was obviously in a good mood, and the smile on her face was much gentler.
"Hui 'er, come here and greet Concubine De."
Immediately, a beautiful lady dressed in white walked up to Concubine De gracefully and bowed to her.
Lin Mengya quietly looked at the woman in front of her. She was slender and weak, and her smile was shy but sweet.
Especially her white dress, which made her look extraordinarily beautiful.
Two blushes flew up to her cheeks, which made her feel shy.
"Hui 'er greets Concubine De and Princess Yu."
Her timid voice was soft and delicate. She was indeed a rare beauty. However, a thought flashed across Lin Mengya's mind.
"Get up, this is …"
Concubine De looked at the woman in front of her and looked at Princess Lingnan in confusion.
"This is my eldest brother's eldest daughter, Shangguan Hui. She's 15 this year, and she's a well-educated and reasonable woman. "
No matter how stupid Lin Mengya was, she understood now.
She looked at Shangguan Hui speechlessly. How attractive was Prince Yu? Why was there always a woman crying and begging to be Prince Yu's concubine?
Or did she look so easy to bully?
Lin Mengya didn't know, so she didn't have a good impression of Princess Lingnan.
"Well, she's not bad. There are many talented young men in the capital city. Miss Shangguan, do you have anyone in mind? "
Concubine De was clever. She saw through Lin Mengya's intention, but she didn't say it out. Instead, she declined gently.
"Marriage is a big event. Of course, it needs the order of parents and the words of a matchmaker. Hui 'er, I'll follow Aunt's arrangement. "
Lin Mengya couldn't stand it anymore. From Jiang Ruqin to Ming Yue, there were more than one or two people who were interested in Prince Yu.
It was time for her, the princess, to show her courage.
"Well, Miss Shangguan, you're right. It's not like Prince Yu to take a concubine according to my words. Unfortunately, I'm not a generous person. I'm afraid that the girls from other families will feel wronged. "
Lin Mengya's words seemed to be a joke between women, but it was particularly harsh.
In everyone's impression, Lin Mengya had always been gentle and amiable.
She didn't talk much and didn't make enemies with others.
Who would have thought that he would change his temperament today, and the words he said would put him in an awkward position.
"Princess Yu, what … what do you mean …"
Although Princess Lingnan was displeased, they were in the palace after all, and they wouldn't offend each other openly.
"What do I mean, Princess Yu? You know very well."
Lin Mengya looked at Princess Lingnan's eyes without fear, and her eyes were cold and leisurely.
If Princess Lingnan really had a good relationship with Concubine De, she could bring Miss Shangguan to visit Prince Yu's Mansion in private.
After so many years, what did it mean to say this in public?
Concubine De allowed it, but Lin Mengya was the legitimate Princess Yu, and it would be shameful.
If Concubine De did not allow it, the rumors and slanders would flow out in different ways.
Lin Mengya was not stupid, and neither was Concubine De. She just used the simplest and most direct method.
"Princess Lingnan, although I've always been close to you, the affairs of Prince Yu's Mansion are generally managed by me." Concubine De stood on Lin Mengya's side. She had endured enough for so many years.
Concubine De stood on Lin Mengya's side. She had endured enough for so many years.
Concubine De stood on Lin Mengya's side. She had endured enough for so many years.
The pretense of cordiality had disappeared.
It was replaced by disgust and jealousy.
"You're Concubine De, and I'm just a princess. Alas, it's hard for Prince Yu to treat Concubine De, and he still … "
"How dare you!"
Lin Mengya's face changed, and she shouted coldly.
Princess Lingnan did not expect that Princess Yu, who looked young, dared to stop her.
After so many years, she had a firm foothold in Prince Yu's Mansion because of the old affair between Concubine De and Prince Lingnan.
Even in the palace, Concubine De had to protect her.
Who would've thought that he would be shouted at by a junior?
Furthermore, in such an occasion, he immediately felt that he could not maintain his dignity.
"Who do you think you are?"
When she was about to make a scene, Lin Mengya's eyes flashed with some killing intent.
Lin Mengya took a step forward, and whispered in Princess Lingnan's ear,
"If you say something useless again, I'll make sure that you can't walk out of this room."
There was no warmth in her words, and it was cold, as if it came from hell.
"You …"
Princess Lingnan didn't expect that a junior could be so aggressive.
Even she had to take a step back, and didn't dare to be aggressive.
"It's good that you know you're wrong. Mother, let's go out for a walk. It's a little stuffy here. "
Lin Mengya returned to her gentle smile. At this moment, she finally understood.
At this moment, she understood why Concubine De sent Jinyue to tell her.
This was simply a Feast at Hongmen.
Lin Mengya helped Concubine De to get up from her seat, and those noblewomen and princesses, who were waiting to watch the fun, were stunned by what happened just now.
Every time the royal family held a banquet, Concubine De was always the target of ridicule.
Especially Princess Lingnan, who seemed to be close to Concubine De, but in fact, she was always the one who fanned the flames.
But now, it was blocked by Princess Yu. It seemed that Princess Yu had suffered a loss.
"I know that Princess Yu is not easy to be bullied."
In the crowd, Princess Qinan's eyes flashed with a sense of watching a good show.
It seemed that tonight's banquet would be very lively.
"Ya 'er, do you think that I'm not a good mother?"
Lin Mengya helped Concubine De to walk around in the Imperial Garden.
Looking at the familiar grass and trees around, Concubine De's eyes were filled with deep sorrow.
"No, I'm just worried about you, mother. How did you get through all these years?"
Which girl didn't have feelings of love at times?
It was supposed to be a good story. Even if it didn't bear fruit, it shouldn't become a steel knife, which made Concubine De so afraid.
"You've always understood Lady Mother's thoughts. But I bear it, not because I'm guilty. "
