Lin Mengya held Baisu's hand as well. The two of them warmed each other in the cold winter night. It seemed that it was not so hard to bear.
"Don't worry. I hit it off with him. Moreover, he had helped me before, so I felt that he should be a good person. You see, whether it's you, Baiji, or even Xiao Yu, it was the first time we met that we hit it off. That's how we became a family. "
Baisu sighed helplessly. Since she became familiar with her master, she realized that her master was not that kind of person who was superior to others.
Although she was ruthless to her enemies, she was gentle to those she cared about.
Therefore, she was always surrounded by her best friends who were willing to sacrifice their lives for her.
However, her master didn't know that at all.
"When Young Master left, he told me that I must protect you well. But from what Mr. Qiu said today, I'm afraid that the Court of Imperial Physicians is not better than the mansion. "
In fact, Lin Mengya had been aware of this long ago.
Not to mention the existence of the four mountains, Su Tong, who was in charge of the Court of Imperial Physicians, would not be a simple person.
Although he looked amiable, she could tell that the imperial physicians still respected him. Even the four imperial physicians acted according to Su Tong's mood.
Lin Mengya already knew that wherever there were people, there would be fights and schemes. The more chaotic the Court of Imperial Physicians was, the better. Then she could fish in troubled waters.
The moonlight was cold, but it was not as cold as people's hearts.
The Court of Imperial Physicians was noisy during the day, but it was especially lonely at night. Except for several imperial physicians on duty, the others had left the palace and returned to their mansions.
In the inner hall of the Court of Imperial Physicians, Su Tong and Jiang Kai were warming themselves around a copper brazier. However, there was a gloomy expression on their weather-beaten faces.
"You've seen it today. Princess Yu is not like an ordinary person. I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with her."
Su Tong was warming himself by the fire. The orange light of the fire made his face look especially cold and hard.
"Humph, she's just a little girl who is still wet behind the ears. Even though she has been trained by Lin Muzhi and Prince Yu, she is still too inexperienced. She easily used the skill of needle control and doesn't know how to hide her weakness at all. Do you think you're afraid of such a fool? "
Jiang Kai still had his usual explosive temper. He squinted at Su Tong and said disdainfully.
Su Tong seemed to be used to Jiang Kai's temper, so he did not take it to heart. Instead, he picked up the hot water on the stove and poured himself a cup of tea. He said unhurriedly, "I'm not sure.
"This woman is nothing to be afraid of. Lin Muzhi and Prince Yu must have thought of a perfect plan to send her to the palace. Don't let your guard down. Don't forget, according to seniority, she should call you granduncle. "
Su Tong's words seemed to have touched something in Jiang Kai's heart that he was unwilling to mention.
After letting out a heavy snort, a vicious resentment flashed through his eyes.
"The Jiang family is merely an arrow at the end of its flight. The emperor's illness was getting worse by the day. If one day, both Concubine De and the Jiang Family would become a thing of the past. What the Jiang Family owes me, I will get it back sooner or later! "
His loose facial muscles became more and more stiff because of the anger in his heart.
Now Jiang Kai was not like a doctor who could save the dying and heal the injured.
It seemed that Jiang Kai did not want to continue this topic, so he got up and left.
Su Tong continued to stare at the burning charcoal in front of him.
Su Tong, who had succeeded in provoking Jiang Kai's anger, was still unmoved by it, as if he was experienced and astute.
Those who could climb to this position all had some old tricks up their sleeves.
If they were all like Jiang Kai, who kept it in mind all the time, they would not be able to achieve great things.
However, she could use Jiang Kai to test the depth of Princess Yu.
She sighed softly. Her life in the palace would become more and more difficult in the future.
After a good night's sleep, she was as adaptable as a cockroach.
However, she had really made trouble for Pearl and Agate yesterday. Early this morning, these two maidservants came to help her wash her face and put on her clothes.
Pearl still looked pale, with big dark circles under her eyes. She looked at Lin Mengya in horror and helplessness. It seemed that she was a demon crawling out of hell.
"You …"
As soon as Lin Mengya opened her mouth, Pearl's hand trembled, and the comb she used to comb her black hair fell to the ground.
She was even more frightened, with tears rolling down her cheeks. She immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Lin Mengya to apologize.
"Your Highness, please spare my life … I … I didn't mean it. Please spare my life, Your Highness!"
Lin Mengya looked at Pearl in front of her, who kept kowtowing and begging for mercy. It seemed that she had left a psychological shadow on Pearl that could not be erased for the rest of her life.
"Get up first. I'm not a bloodthirsty devil. I won't blame you for such a small thing. "
Baisu had been staring at them. When facing irrelevant people, her cold temperament made people feel that it was not good to provoke.
But Pearl was too scared. In desperation, Lin Mengya had to ask Agate, who was hiding on the side, to help her up.
Lin Mengya had already given them the killing stick. She was well aware of the way of using people in moderation. With two free laborers, she and Baisu would not have to run around for boring things.
"You've worked in the palace. Although I'm not easy to deal with, I'm clear about rewards and punishments. If you do your job well, I won't punish you severely even if you make a little mistake. There are not so many rules here as in other palaces, but it's your duty to be obedient. Do you understand? "
Lin Mengya's face was calm, and her voice was as calm as possible.
After looking at each other, Pearl and Agate had to stand up and salute to thank her.
"Yes, we'll keep your teachings in mind, Your Highness."
Lin Mengya nodded. She knew that the two of them were more or less putting on an act.
The masters in the palace were not good people. She had heard Aunt Jinyue inadvertently mention that in every palace, there were private punishments for palace maids and eunuchs who violated the rules.
People could not be easily beaten to death, but if you just wanted to teach them a lesson, there were dozens of big and small tortures.
Yesterday, she had merely caught him off guard.
Although Pearl and Agate were people she didn't trust, after all, they worked in the palace, and their hairstyle was much better than Baisu's.
After all, it was the New Year. As a bride, Lin Mengya should wear something festive.
But the emperor was not in good health, and that thing happened at the New Year's Eve dinner. Lin Mengya still chose a sandalwood fine gold satin dress, a crabapple red lapel jacket, and a pair of brocade embroidered shoes inlaid with pearls and jade.
She only wore a gold hairpin inlaid with suet jade on her head, which made her long hair as black as ink. Walking on the cold long street, her fresh and beautiful dress made her look even more beautiful. She showed a kind of beauty that was different from the conformism in the palace.
"Master, are you also busy in the Court of Imperial Physicians for a day?"
Baisu followed Lin Mengya closely. Today, Lin Mengya took Agate with her. Now, she also tactfully stayed far behind and did not dare to come close.
After thinking for a while, Lin Mengya nodded slightly. She still wanted to see the emperor's case history. Yesterday, she was fooled by Su Tong. Today, she would get it no matter what.
"The things in the palace are not as exquisite as those in our mansion. Can your body stand it? "
Looking at the worried look on her maid's face, Baisu thought that she had no appetite this morning because she was not used to the food in the palace.
She was not a picky eater. After five years of experience in the university cafeteria, she could swallow anything that could be digested by gastric juice.
However, she had something on her mind, so she was not in the mood to eat.
"Don't worry. I'm not a child anymore. I know how to take care of myself."
Holding Baisu's hand, Lin Mengya gently comforted her.
When the master and the maid were about to say something intimate, they were suddenly interrupted by an arrogant voice.
"Hey, where do you come from, beauty? You don't know how to salute me when you see me. Are your eyes on the top of your head? "
The condescending tone showed that she was an unruly and domineering master.
Lin Mengya looked up and saw several beauties in palace clothes standing not far away, looking at her.
Judging from their clothes, they seemed to be the concubines in the palace. However, the most beautiful woman among them was looking at her coldly, as if she had seen an enemy.
"Greetings to Lady Chong Rong, Lady Hui, and Beauty Cheng. I'm Agate from the Servants Administration, and this is Prince Yu's wife. "
Seeing that this maid was smart, Lin Mengya kept it in mind.
These three names were very unfamiliar to her. It seemed that it was the first time she had met these concubines.
However, according to the etiquette, she was a first-class princess. However, because he was a foreign official and a junior, logically speaking, he should at least give half a bow.
She had just entered the palace and didn't want to cause trouble. Therefore, even if the people opposite her spoke rudely, she still swallowed her anger.
"Greetings to the three concubines. It's my first time in the palace. If I offended you, please give me some advice."
Chong Rong Rong had a delicate face and luxurious clothes.
She nodded slightly to her, with a curious and gentle smile on her face.
Standing on her left was a pretty young woman who looked about the same age as Lin Mengya. At this moment, she was also looking her up and down curiously. However, she should be the youngest, and her clothes were the simplest. Lin Mengya guessed that she should be Beauty Cheng.
Only the woman standing on the right of Chong Rong Rong Rong was beautiful, but her clothes were not as luxurious as Chong Rong Rong's. For some reason, Lin Mengya saw some hatred in her eyes.
