Lin Mengya rolled her eyes and a smirk crept onto her face.
"Yes, Elder Brother Tian Ning always has a way. I remember that when I was a child, my eldest brother and I always went out to play with him. Speaking of which, Elder Brother Tian Ning is in his twenties, and he should be married. Why don't you ask Aunt Bai to keep an eye out for me? If there is a suitable one, let him decide directly. What do you think? "
As soon as Lin Mengya said this, Baiji's face changed.
She bit her lip with her teeth, and the expression on her face dimmed a lot.
Seeing that the girl still refused to admit it, Lin Mengya couldn't help but add fuel to the fire.
"I've thought about it. After all, people outside are not reliable. Why don't we choose one from the courtyard for him? I think Baishao is good. She's beautiful and shrewd. She's just like Elder Brother Tian Ning, who is active and quiet, so their characters can complement each other. What do you think? "
Thinking that Lin Mengya really thought so, Baiji couldn't help but show a little loneliness.
However, she had always been a docile and gentle woman. In her heart, her master's words were more important than heaven. Therefore, although her heart ached, she still nodded with her heart hidden.
"Master's words … must be the best. It's Baishao's blessing to have such a husband. "
Looking at the girl behind her who was lost, Lin Mengya didn't want to tease her anymore.
She shook her head and grabbed Baiji's hand.
"Silly girl, I know what you're thinking. That's your lifelong happiness. Could it be that my words are more important than your lifelong happiness? "
Lin Mengya had made it clear, but Baiji's face turned crimson.
She was not good at words, and often arranged everything that her master needed behind her back.
She was not as capable as Baishao, nor as cute as Baizhi. She grew up with her master. Because of Lin Mengya's help to her family, she had long regarded serving her master as her lifelong hope.
As for the strange love between a man and a woman, for her, it was not as important as repaying Lin Mengya's kindness.
Such a loyal and devoted Baiji made Lin Mengya feel sorry for her.
"I've told you before that I don't see you as servants, but as my own sisters. So, if you have someone you like and others don't know about it, you don't have to hide it from me. Ms. Tian was my wet nurse, and Brother Tian Ning was also a well-educated and reasonable person. If you really like him, I'll help you test his feelings tomorrow. What do you think? "
Baiji was so embarrassed that her face turned red, but she did not refuse.
However, her watery eyes were filled with the yearning for love. The first awakening of love was naturally the most beautiful.
Lin Mengya stopped teasing her. Baiji was thin-skinned. What if she cried?
Brother Tian Ning was a good choice. Besides, Baiji was gentle and quiet. Although she was capable, she was afraid that Baiji would be bullied when she got married.
Regardless of whether she was being selfish or not, Baiji would be able to take care of her no matter what happened.
The two sisters whispered a lot, and Lin Mengya naturally asked about the situation in the Art Courtyard.
Baiji was a meticulous person, so basically nothing in the mansion could be hidden from her eyes. She reported everything in detail to Lin Mengya, no matter how big or small.
"Hiding in the Art Courtyard is naturally her best choice. But we don't have to worry. As soon as the prince comes back with me, she will not stop. Tell the others to keep an eye on it these days. Anything that is sent in must be carefully checked. Even if it is a steamed bun, it must be broken for inspection. "
Lin Mengya was not stupid. Since Long Tianhao knew where his mother was, according to his character, he naturally would not let Concubine De suffer any more.
However, the Empress dared to detain Concubine De and brazenly found someone to pretend to be her. There must be a conspiracy.
Now thinking about it, as long as Concubine De was in the hands of the Empress, both the Emperor and Long Tianhao would be afraid to take action.
In this case, Long Tianhao would definitely find a way to rescue Concubine De.
Therefore, the imposter who had been imprisoned in the Art Courtyard by her had become the best tool for her to use.
After a good night's sleep, Lin Mengya returned to her previous radiant appearance the next day.
Even Long Tianhao, who had recuperated, was as energetic as usual.
The couple had already discussed a plan on how to rescue Concubine De.
But it was not Long Tianhao who played the leading role, but Lin Mengya, the third daughter-in-law who was said to be favored by the Emperor.
Early in the morning, Long Tianhao sent someone to the palace to ask for an imperial edict. It was said that Lin Mengya and Concubine De would go to the palace to pay their respects to the Emperor.
Although it was a little abrupt, it was not impolite. After all, they had just returned from the plague in Yun State. Naturally, they would go together to explain the situation to the Emperor.
Therefore, just after lunch, the imperial edict allowing them to go to the palace to pay their respects was sent to Prince Yu's Mansion.
The speed showed how much the Emperor loved and valued this daughter-in-law.
After dressing up, Lin Mengya and Concubine De were sent to the palace in a horse carriage.
It was rare for the four maidservants of the Liuxin Courtyard to go to the palace with Lin Mengya.
Except for Hongyu, the other three maidservants had the experience of entering the palace.
And Hongyu also crammed some knowledge of the palace rules. With her intelligence, she naturally understood it. She was so fast that even Baizhi wondered if Hongyu had lived in the palace before.
"Hongyu, you can learn from her. Especially you, Baizhi. If you continue to be like this, no one will want you. Be an old woman for the rest of your life. I won't support you. "
Lin Mengya had been resting with her eyes closed, but her ears did not leave the conversation of the four maidservants.
Bai Zhi immediately looked at her with an aggrieved look. She pouted her mouth as if she had suffered a great grievance.
"Don't tease her. Baizhi is so innocent, she will definitely have a good husband. Don't feel wronged. Master is just joking with you. Besides, when Master came back, he only brought you a big bag of snacks. I have seen that these snacks are enough for you and the mice in your room to survive the winter! "
Hongyu smiled to smooth things over. Baizhi was about the same age as her sister, but she was much more obedient than Sumei. Therefore, she subconsciously wanted to protect this innocence.
Lin Mengya saw through it, but she did not say anything. Everyone had their own secrets and things that they cared about. Hongyu could be like this, which meant that she had really found the motivation to live, which was not bad.
"Well, let's get down to business. Baishao, have you made the necessary arrangements for the people I asked you to arrange? "
Baishao immediately stopped smiling and nodded solemnly to confirm the change of topic.
"Don't worry, Master. I have arranged everything. No one can find out anything wrong."
Lin Mengya nodded slightly, but suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the horse carriage in front of her.
No matter how cunning this fox was, she would not be able to break out of the cage she had designed. If everything went well, soon Concubine De would return to them again.
The Imperial Palace was still magnificent. But this time, Lin Mengya only felt depressed.
Everyone who lived here, either actively or passively, was caught in the whirlpool of fighting for power.
She did not want to be one of them, but for various reasons, she could not get rid of it.
The moment she walked into the vermilion gate, an idea flashed through her mind quickly.
If Long Tianhao really became the Emperor, would she be ready to live out her long life in this square city?
Her heart was a little shocked, but she did not have the final answer.
With complicated thoughts, Lin Mengya still sat in the stable horse carriage and went deeper into the place that everyone expected.
After entering the Vermilion Bird Gate, she changed to a soft sedan. After shaking for a long time, she arrived at the Dongnuan Pavilion, where the emperor usually cultivated.
Today, there was no debate about the abolition of the Crown Prince. There was only a father waiting to welcome his son and daughter-in-law.
"Concubine De, Prince Yu, Princess Yu …"
As soon as she got out of the sedan, the eunuch's voice resounded through the entire Dongnuan Pavilion.
Lin Mengya and Long Tianhao stood side by side, and they were a pair of beautiful lovers, which was extremely eye-catching.
But Concubine De got out of the soft sedan, with a little hesitation in her eyes.
"Mother, let's go and pay our respects."
Lin Mengya showed a polite and gentle smile, but her eyes never left Concubine De. She gave her a faint sense of oppression, as if she was sure that Concubine De could not make any trouble in the palace.
"Humph, I know. Do I need you, an outsider, to remind me?"
Concubine De's beautiful eyes were vertical. Her attempt to cover up made Lin Mengya laugh in her heart.
Today was the day of her death. At that time, how could she still be arrogant?
Concubine De was in front, and the couple was behind.
Speaking of it, this was the first time that Lin Mengya had come to the Dongnuan Pavilion, where the emperor usually lived.
The eunuch raised the bead curtain, and Lin Mengya walked inside with her head slightly lowered. The floor tiles painted with auspicious clouds made the inner room look like a fairyland.
As soon as she entered the room, a faint fragrance wafted in the air.
In the large inner room, there was a four-legged bronze incense burner with dragon patterns, showing the unique elegance of the royal family.
As soon as Lin Mengya looked up, she was pulled by Long Tianhao to salute.
"Greetings to my father. May my father live a long and peaceful life. "
After all these days, she had been used to the red tape in the palace from a beginner.
Her posture was elegant. Even the princess who was raised in the deep palace was not inferior.
Concubine De was also well-behaved, but she was not as graceful and luxurious as the real Concubine De in her actions.
The other three people in the room had the same tacit understanding in their hearts.
