Lin Mengya just glanced at them casually. Fortunately, the place where she lived was the farthest from here. Otherwise, she would really think that this matter was directed at her.
The little interlude just now was only a moment before it disappeared like smoke in thin air.
All the noblewomen entered in an orderly manner.
Because it was a courtyard with three entrances, they had to enter the inner courtyard from the main hall.
As soon as Lin Mengya went out, she saw the imperial concubines from the palace standing outside the room with their heads down according to their ranks.
It must be because of the large number of people that the Empress chose to summon them in the open space of the inner courtyard.
Lin Mengya followed behind several princesses, not revealing anything, and did not make eye contact with the Empress.
However, as soon as she stood still, she felt that there seemed to be a few vague eyes falling on her.
Raising his head, he saw a few familiar-looking women.
They were Chongrong Yun and Jieyu Hui, who were with Beauty Cheng on the long street that day.
However, Chongrong Yun still smiled indifferently, but Jieyu Hui glared at her coldly and turned her face away.
Lin Mengya was not afraid of her, but she felt that the world was really small.
Unexpectedly, she saw the two of them here again. Lin Mengya nodded slightly as a response to Chongrong Yun.
Lin Mengya turned her head again. Because at this moment, standing beside the Empress, a slightly unfamiliar figure was smiling at her very brightly.
Lin Mengya rummaged through her mind, but could not find any information about this person.
She was a little wary in her heart. However, before she could do anything, the delicate young girl in the dark blue palace dress took a few steps forward and walked to her side.
She stretched out a pair of white little hands and held Lin Mengya's arm intimately. Suddenly, there was a sweet smile on her little face, which was as white as a hibiscus.
"I've long heard from my mother that among all the sisters-in-law, only the third sister-in-law is a top figure. Today, I see that it's true. With Third Sister-in-law here, the others will be outshone. "
As soon as the woman spoke, Lin Mengya couldn't help frowning slightly.
Sure enough, the princes' concubines around, either vaguely or directly, cast some dissatisfied looks at her.
Lin Mengya immediately smiled, and then said,
"It's just Her Majesty's words. Princess, why do you take it seriously and make fun of me?"
Judging from her tone, she should be one of the princesses in the palace.
However, Lin Mengya only knew a few princes. As for the princesses who lived in the palace, she did not have much contact with them.
Moreover, the royal family of the State of Jin attached great importance to the upbringing of the princesses. Before they reached adulthood, they would rarely show their faces.
Therefore, for a moment, she could not tell which palace the woman in front of her belonged to.
"Third Sister-in-law, you really know how to talk. No wonder my mother is full of praises for you. By the way, I forgot to tell you that I'm Princess Tiancheng. It's the first time we've met. Sister-in-law, you really impressed me. "
Princess Tiancheng? Lin Mengya suddenly remembered that in addition to the Crown Prince, the Empress did have a princess named Mengru.
At the age of 12, he was conferred the title of Tiancheng. Moreover, because of her intelligence and beauty, she was quite favored by the Empress.
It seemed like it was the woman in front of him.
However, as soon as she came, Princess Tiancheng almost caused a disaster for her. This person probably didn't come with good intentions.
"It turns out to be Princess Tiancheng. Nice to meet you, Your Highness."
Lin Mengya was indifferent to everyone. Even Princess Tiancheng, who had a prominent background, had no intention of currying favor with her.
Princess Tiancheng said a few more words to her, but her answer was watertight. Perhaps she felt bored, so she turned around and returned to the Empress's side.
Lin Mengya watched her whisper something in the Empress's ear. Coupled with the disturbance she had just caused, she was really eye-catching.
He had no choice but to lower his head and stare intently at the piece of land beside his feet, as if flowers could bloom there.
"Greetings to the Empress. May the Empress be prosperous and peaceful."
Everyone squatted down and saluted the Empress.
Because they were in a Buddhist temple, the Empress did not wear a noble court dress with a dragon pattern. Instead, she only wore a rosewood dress, and the ornaments on her head were very simple and elegant.
There was a hint of a smile on his face. However, it made people unconsciously feel a little nervous.
The Empress glanced around the crowd with her almond-shaped eyes and did not pay too much attention to anyone.
But when she saw that everyone was dressed up neatly and came neatly, a look of satisfaction appeared in her eyes.
"You may rise. This time, we pray for the country and hope that Dajin will be prosperous and the people will be at peace. I know that you have worked hard, but I have to make you suffer. "
Since the Empress had said so, everyone naturally had to do their best.
Although it was hard, it was just that after fasting for three days, they had to go to the Mahavira Hall in front of them to pray silently.
Of course, it was a little boring, but they had to be serious about this kind of thing.
Lin Mengya just lowered her head and stood in her place, responding to the others.
The process of greeting the Empress was as boring as ever. Except for Princess Tiancheng, the other imperial concubines did not even make eye contact with Lin Mengya.
Lin Mengya looked helplessly at Princess Tiancheng, who was smiling at her. To be honest, the Empress's children seemed to be incompatible with her.
Although Princess Tiancheng seemed to be very kind to Lin Mengya on the surface.
However, only she knew that there must be a lot of evil intentions hidden under that smiling little face.
After greeting the Empress, Lin Mengya could not help but breathe a sigh of relief after bowing to the others and leaving.
From the moment she came here, she knew that she would confront the Empress. But the Empress's inaction made her feel bitter.
Speaking of which, she thought that maybe she really lacked the patience to wait for the Empress.
After the crowd dispersed, Princess Tiancheng, who was pure and innocent, also returned to the main room with her mother.
In the room, only their confidants were in it.
The Empress was a little tired. Princess Tiancheng helped her mother sit on the yellow rosewood couch behind the bead curtain.
Then she took the mallet from the palace servant and gently tapped the Empress's calf to relieve her mother's fatigue.
"You heard what happened last night, didn't you?"
The Empress closed her eyes slightly, as if nothing that happened here could escape her eyes and ears.
"Well, I know everything. A group of idiots thought that they did it flawlessly, but in the end, it was up to me to clean up the aftermath for them. "
Princess Tiancheng changed her innocence in front of everyone, and there was a hint of disdain and pride in her tone.
The Empress raised her eyebrows and looked at her daughter lovingly.
Compared to that good-for-nothing son of his, his daughter was outstanding in both appearance and intelligence.
She gently brushed a strand of her daughter's long hair with her hand and looked at her favorite little daughter with some regret.
"Don't mess around. This time, we're here for something important. There can't be any accidents in this religious ceremony. Your good-for-nothing brother has to rely on this religious ceremony to save the situation. "
The Empress looked at her daughter, but her words were clearly on her son's side.
She did all this in order to let her son ascend the throne.
A trace of dissatisfaction quickly flashed across Princess Tiancheng's eyes. But soon, she regained her composure.
There was still a lovely smile on her face, pretending to be a well-behaved daughter.
"I know that I won't let anyone find out about this matter. Even if someone finds out, they won't be able to trace it back to us. But Mother, do you really believe what that Yunshen said? "
Looking at her daughter's puzzled eyes, the Empress closed her eyes.
"Oh? Why, you even know about him? Ru 'er, there are some things that I don't want you to intervene in for your own good. In a few years, your Imperial Father might find you a suitable son-in-law. I don't want you to marry far away. Moreover, you will be the most glorious princess in the whole Dajin. "
There was only cold indifference in Princess Tiancheng's eyes about her mother's idea.
But in a place where her mother could see her, she became the obedient and lovely daughter she used to be.
"Of course I know your good intentions. Don't worry, mother. I will definitely assist my brother well. Let him become the unique emperor of Dajin. "
Seeing that her daughter was so sensible, the Empress was very pleased.
After personally serving her mother to rest, Princess Tiancheng quietly left the main room where the Empress lived with her palace maids.
Across the veranda was the wing room where she lived. However, in the courtyard behind her room lived the monk Yunshen, whom her mother had attached great importance to recently.
At first glance, she could tell that the monk was not a good person. Although his looks could still be considered handsome, it was clear that he had an evil air about him.
Princess Tiancheng didn't want to deal with this evil person, but now she was interested.
It was said that her mother wanted to rely on this person to save the reputation of her stupid brother. Since he was so capable, then she should also pay him a visit.
With her eyes moving slightly, Princess Tiancheng turned around and went to the backyard with her maids.
No one knew how big of a wave her departure would cause.
After coming back from the Empress's courtyard, Lin Mengya immediately came back to check on Yinghua.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw Yinghua, accompanied by Hongyu, playing his favorite rattan ball.
Seeing that he was smiling without any haze, Lin Mengya couldn't help but feel relieved.
"You're back! Third Sister-in-law, go to greet mother. Did she bully you? "
The little fellow looked up and saw Lin Mengya, who had just entered the courtyard.
