Only she knew how dangerous it was to dance on the tip of a knife.
But she had no other choice!
The hot water washed her slightly tired body. Lin Mengya drowsily leaned against the edge of the bathtub. She just wanted to have a good sleep.
Half asleep and half awake, he saw a slender figure standing in front of him.
Lin Mengya was startled. She opened her watery eyes and stared at Long Tianhao in front of her.
"What — what do you want?"
At this critical moment, Lin Mengya did not forget to take the bath towel beside the bathtub and wrapped it around her body to ensure that no part of her body was exposed.
Long Tianhao immediately turned his head. He just wanted to come here to see what was going on.
However, when he came in, he saw Lin Mengya leaning against the edge of the bathtub drowsily. He thought that she was injured or had an accident.
"You … you'd better get dressed first. I'll wait for you outside."
After saying that, Long Tianhao strode to the window without waiting for Lin Mengya's reaction. He also pulled the screen between them.
Lin Mengya stared at Long Tianhao's straight back and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It was useless to complain that she was taken advantage of.
It was better to stand up gracefully.
The sound of dripping water behind him made him daydream.
Long Tianhao admitted that he was not a gentleman, but he was not the kind of villain who took advantage of others.
However, the pink and snow-white skin was faintly visible in the clear water. Any man could not help but fantasize about it.
"Your Highness, you can turn around now."
The light female voice was not angry at all. Long Tianhao didn't know where the anger came from. His princess was really generous!
When he turned around again, he saw that Lin Mengya was only wearing a pomegranate, fashionable gauze dress. Her hair was wet and fell on her shoulders. She looked pure and charming.
She seemed to be particularly suitable for this gorgeous color. However, she usually only wore some plain dresses.
"Your Highness, I'm afraid that you came here on the moonlight because of the haunting in the teahouse?"
There were a few red candles burning in the room, but the light was very bright.
Perhaps he was ready to go to bed. Otherwise, Long Tianhao would not go out wearing only a cyan robe.
Even in the dark of the night, Long Tianhao's eyes were still frighteningly bright.
For the first time, Lin Mengya did not dare to look into his eyes. She could only look down respectfully.
"Yes, I heard that you caught all the moles. Is that true?"
Long Tianhao calmed himself down and looked away from Lin Mengya.
Strange, he had never lost his sense of propriety when it came to beauties. Why did he …
"I'm not sure if I've uprooted them. However, those who I've captured are all alive. If they still have accomplices, I'll think of a way to pry open their mouths."
Long Tianhao nodded, but he did not know what to say.
She shifted her gaze away unnaturally, and only after regaining her composure did she speak faintly.
"From now on, on the first and fifteenth of every month, I might come to your courtyard to rest."
"Ah? Prince? Why? "
Lin Mengya's eyes widened instantly. Wasn't she and Long Tianhao past the period of being eavesdropped?
"It's my mother's idea."
In fact, Concubine De had called Long Tianhao to the Art Courtyard in the afternoon to lecture him.
The general content was that he was not young anymore, and should have a son to carry on the family line.
In the past, she was not anxious because Long Tianhao did not even want to keep a concubine, so she gave up.
But now, Long Tianhao had married his wife. Although she had just been married for two months, the impatient Concubine De could not wait to have a grandson.
Therefore, in order to deal with his mother, Long Tianhao had to come up with such a compromise.
"Huh? But Your Highness, I'm afraid that I'll disturb your rest if I make too much noise here! "
Lin Mengya stared at her slender fingertips, and could only refuse him.
"It's okay, it's settled. You have a good rest, and Lin Kui will handle the matter of the moles. "
Long Tianhao stood up. He had always been a man of his word. Moreover, Lin Mengya was already his wife in name. Even if something happened between them, it was a matter of course.
"But — Your Highness, can you let me interrogate Qinghu?"
Lin Mengya had no choice but to settle for the next best thing.
Long Tianhao looked at the woman in front of him with his long and narrow eyes. The assassin named Qinghu was indeed a shameless person. Could it be that his wife had fallen in love with him?
"This guy dared to lie to me. I'll peel his skin and pull out his tendons, so that he will regret messing with me!"
Definitely not! Long Tianhao nodded with a strange look on his face. It seemed that he had thought too much.
Just by looking at Lin Mengya's sinister face, he felt that the leader of the assassins named Qinghu would not have an easy time in the future.
After sending Long Tianhao off, Lin Mengya slept soundly until the next morning.
Although most of the guards in Prince Yu's Mansion had a tiring night, the rest of the people in Prince Yu's Mansion were still as usual.
For example, the two women who refused to leave Prince Yu's Mansion.
"Master, you don't know that since Second Miss Lin and Ruqin lived here, they have been trying to please Concubine De every day. This servant saw it and felt ashamed for them! "
Early in the morning, after Baizhi helped Lin Mengya to get up, she kept talking about it in her ears.
It must be that Lin Mengwu and Jiang Ruqin had done something shameful in Prince Yu's Mansion.
The people of Dajin were conservative. It was against the rules for an unmarried girl to go out of the house, let alone live in a man's house.
Concubine De should know this better than Lin Mengya.
On the contrary, the more generous Lin Mengya was, the more Concubine De would think that those two people did not know the rules.
The most important thing for the royal family was to follow the rules and not to do anything that would ruin the family's reputation.
Although she had done all kinds of evil things in the mainland, on the surface, she was a dignified princess who never went out.
"What a shameless vixen! Does she really think that she is the concubine of Prince Yu's Mansion? How dare she touch Princess Yu's things! "
Lin Mengya could hear Baishao's shrewish voice from afar.
When Baishao entered the room, Lin Mengya saw that there was a big red and swollen area on her pretty face.
It was obvious that she had been slapped.
How dare she! Lin Mengya snorted in her heart. Recently, she was busy working for Prince Yu and forgot to clean up the black sheep in Prince Yu's Mansion.
After freshening up, Lin Mengya sat at the table and watched as Baishao took out her breakfast from the carved mahogany food box.
Her breakfast consisted of a small plate of shredded chicken and cucumber, a small plate of vinegar and golden needles, three red bean buns the size of baby's fists, and a bowl of simmered millet and coix kernel porridge.
Lin Mengya remained calm and took out the ivory chopsticks to pick up the shredded cucumber, which was obviously not very fresh.
"I think the cooks in the mansion are becoming more and more incompetent. Baiji, go to Steward Deng and tell him my order. The cooks who made breakfast for me today will be beaten ten times and driven out of the mansion. "
With a bang, the porridge bowl in Lin Mengya's hand and the plate on the table were thrown out.
All of a sudden, the servants who were sweeping the yard stopped what they were doing and sneakily looked in the direction of the main house.
These days, the two ladies were extremely arrogant. Today, finally, the good-tempered princess could not hold back her temper.
All of a sudden, all of them had the mood to gloat and watch a good show. They wanted to see what the mistress of the Prince's Mansion would do.
"Baishao, ask all the maids, old maids, stewards, and manservants in the mansion to report to me in Liuxin Courtyard in an hour. I want to teach them the rules and don't embarrass Prince Yu's Mansion."
Although the princess was angry, she did not sound flustered and exasperated.
Instead, she was calm and composed. Except for the pile of broken tableware and food at the door, no one could see that the princess was really angry.
This was what a mistress should be like. If she easily lost her demeanor, she would be a joke to others.
Some old maids, who had worked in rich families before, increasingly felt that the one in the Liuxin Courtyard was the real Princess Dowager.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the stewards of several courtyards, including Steward Deng and Lin Kui, all arrived in Liuxin Courtyard.
Lin Mengya looked at them casually and found that only three or four old maids who were usually active were missing.
It seemed that they felt that they had no chance to be successful with her, the mistress. Instead, they wanted to curry favor with the future concubine.
Lin Mengya was wearing a red silk dress embroidered with hundreds of butterflies and a peony hair ornament with thousands of gold leaves. She was graceful and gorgeous.
Not to mention Jiang Ruqin and Lin Mengwu, even the two girls who were still waiting to be married couldn't compare with her.
Even among all the ladies and madams in the capital city, there were only a few who could be compared with her.
In the courtyard of Liuxin Courtyard, the servants all held their breath and no one dared to offend the princess.
"Today, I called you here to set rules for you. Although I'm young, I can't lose the face of Prince Yu's Mansion. If I do something wrong, please forgive me. "
Lin Mengya rolled her eyes and there was a cold aura on her smiling face.
She was not an 18-year-old girl. Even the noble ladies who were immersed in the family fights all year round could not be compared with her.
