"Isn't this a little too fast?"
Lin Mengya was speechless. She thought that there must be something wrong with this man's brain.
Even if he wanted to take a disciple, he didn't have to be in such a hurry.
"Fast? I was too impulsive. Girl, my family name is Baili, and my first name is Rui. Don't ask too many questions. I won't hurt you. "
Baili Rui? The surname Baili was not common. Could he be related to Baili Wuchen?
"Uncle, Wuchen is here to bring you food."
Speak of the devil, and he's here.
But Baili Rui's face darkened. It seemed that he didn't scold Baili Wuchen on the spot for Lin Mengya's sake.
"Let's go. Ask someone else to do this kind of thing in the future."
Baili Rui's tone was cold, without the intimacy between family members.
Even Lin Mengya, an outsider, could see that Baili Rui's body stiffened when he heard Baili Wuchen's voice.
"Uncle, do you still blame me?"
She didn't have much contact with Baili Wuchen.
But it was the first time that she heard his voice. He sounded a little sad.
"Don't put on this kind of fake act. I've said it before, I have nothing to do with you anymore."
Why is the relationship between these two people a little weird?
Lin Mengya was confused, but she just stood there quietly and watched the uncle and nephew talking to each other.
"Uncle raised Wuchen, Wuchen does not dare to forget this debt of gratitude. But the prince is a wise ruler, and even you admit it. Why can't you forgive me? "
The pain in Baili Wuchen's voice showed how deep his feelings for Baili Rui were.
There were also many strategists and experts in the Prince's Mansion. And Baili Wuchen seemed to be the leader of these people.
Long Tianhao also intended to train him and even let him be independent. However, from the looks of it now, this person also had his own Achilles heel.
"You shameless man! You don't deserve to be a descendant of the Baili family! Get out! Get out! "
Baili Rui seemed to be getting more and more angry, but Lin Mengya didn't want to stop him.
This was a matter between uncle and nephew. No matter what kind of entanglement there was, as an outsider, it was better for her not to get involved.
Baili Wuchen seemed to be silent. Lin Mengya heard his heavy footsteps slowly leaving.
"I've embarrassed myself in front of you, sigh —"
Baili Rui, who was in high spirits just a moment ago, seemed to have aged a few decades in an instant. It seemed that the quarrel with Baili Wuchen had exhausted all his energy and strength.
"It's fine. I'll take my leave first. I'll come back to see Mr. Baili another day."
Lin Mengya thought for a while and decided that she shouldn't stay any longer.
Baili Rui, who was immersed in his own world, had no time to ask her to stay. He let her leave the stone room quietly.
What had happened between this eccentric handsome man and Baili Wuchen?
Lin Mengya found her way back while thinking about her own worries.
She left in a hurry, without even asking Baili Wuchen about it.
There were countless secrets in Prince Yu's Mansion. Even Long Tianhao himself had countless secrets.
She wasn't exploring and discovering, so she didn't have the energy to know about everyone's affairs.
"Your Highness, Concubine De invites you over for a discussion."
Lin Mengya, who was lost in her thoughts just now, was startled by the voice that suddenly rang in her ears.
She turned around and saw Aunt Jingyue, who was always by Concubine De's side. She suddenly appeared beside her like a ghost.
Compared with the amiable Aunt Jinyue, this taciturn Aunt Jingyue seemed to be a little more serious.
"Yes, thank you, Aunt."
Lin Mengya nodded respectfully and followed Jingyue to the Art Courtyard where Concubine De lived.
When she opened the door, she saw Concubine De, who was dressed in a brocade palace dress, sitting on the main seat.
Jiang Ruqin, who was smiling cutely beside her, seemed to be telling a joke. Concubine De's eyes were also wrinkled with laughter.
What was more unusual was that Shangguan Qing and Lin Mengwu were sitting opposite Jiang Ruqin.
They looked like a loving mother and a filial daughter, which was very in tune with the current atmosphere.
"Come here. Your mother and I were just talking about interesting things when you were young, and here you are."
As soon as Lin Mengya came in, Concubine De couldn't help but ask her to come in.
Jiang Ruqin, who was proud just now, immediately fell from her seat. There was only a look of unwillingness on her pretty face.
"Oh? Mother, it's rare that you still remember interesting things when I was young. "
Young? Humph, from the day Shangguan Qing married into the family, it was the day of suffering for her and her brother.
She had suffered all kinds of grievances and bullying. Except for her father and brother, she had never felt any warmth.
How could there be anything interesting to talk about?
"Yes, Ya 'er was naughty when she was young. As her mother, I naturally had to take care of her. I didn't expect that she would grow up and become Princess Yu. Speaking of which, I really miss her. "
Shangguan Qing's acting was very real, and there were some tears in her eyes.
She was totally reluctant to leave her daughter, but only Lin Mengya knew how many times she had escaped from Shangguan Qing's hands when she was young.
"Mother, don't be sad. Sister married into Prince Yu's Mansion, not to a faraway place. If you miss her in the future, you can come to see her, mother. "
Lin Mengwu interrupted at the right time to show that she was more considerate.
But Concubine De and Lin Mengya knew clearly that these two girls were up to no good.
"You're right. By the way, bring the gift for Concubine De. Look at me, I haven't come to visit you recently. It's really impolite. "
After the scene of a loving mother, were they now in-laws who had a very good relationship with each other?
Lin Mengya looked at them coldly and didn't say much. She wanted to see what tricks they were playing.
Not long after, Shangguan Qing's servants came with a wooden box.
Shangguan Qing took it and opened it. There was a red jade ruyi inside.
The vermilion color was sparkling and translucent. One look and one could tell it was priceless.
But Lin Mengya felt a little strange. Why did she seem to have seen this thing before?
"My husband brought it back from the frontier. It's not a precious thing, but it's rare. Take a look and see if it suits you, Your Highness. "
No, this thing was not brought back by father!
Lin Mengya thought hard and remembered that this thing was once given to Shangguan Qing by the Empress.
Maybe Shangguan Qing thought that if it was the Empress's thing, Concubine De would definitely not accept it, so she pretended that it was brought back by father.
"Oh? Such a good red jade is indeed very rare. Jinyue, take it. Thank you for Madam Lin's kindness. "
"Not at all. It's our honor to be favored by Concubine De. Wu 'er, it's getting late. Let's not disturb Concubine De's rest. Goodbye. "
Shangguan Qing stood up and bowed. Concubine De also stood up out of respect for her.
Looking at the mother and daughter walking out of the Art Courtyard, the smile on Concubine De's face disappeared quietly.
"Qin 'er, you can leave too."
Jiang Ruqin stamped her feet unwillingly, but she didn't dare to be willful anymore.
Now her aunt doted on Lin Mengya more than her niece. Jiang Ruqin immediately hated Lin Mengya.
"Mother, why did you summon me here?"
Concubine De took a deep look at the door and saw Jiang Ruqin's light yellow figure disappearing at the door.
"Your first uncle sent word that the main purpose of King Ming's visit is to choose a concubine for his son. Your first uncle hopes that Ruqin can become the princess of the western vassal state. "
Concubine De spoke hesitantly. In her heart, she was reluctant to let her niece be sent to the Barbarian Land to become a princess.
"Bang!" Something seemed to fall from the window.
Jingyue immediately went out to check and returned to the room after a while.
"It seems that the birds have knocked the tiles off the roof. It's not a big deal."
Lin Mengya looked down and didn't expose her.
The glazed tiles on the roof weighed at least half a catty. If they were knocked down by the birds, could it be vultures?
"Oh, that's good. I asked you to come here today because I want you to give me some ideas on how to make Ruqin shine at the banquet so that the prince can choose her. "
Concubine De didn't care about that little episode. Although she was reluctant, she had her own plans.
After thinking about it, Lin Mengya felt that Jiang Ruqin was unruly and capricious. Such a person was not suitable for a marriage alliance.
"I'll discuss it with the prince. Don't worry, mother."
Of course, she had to discuss it with Long Tianhao first.
Really, before the first wave subsided, another wave arose.
After returning from the Art Courtyard, Lin Mengya locked herself in her room for a day and night and didn't allow anyone to see her.
She kept the three maidservants and Lin Zhongyu outside the door.
Lin Mengya didn't open the door until the next evening.
The moment she came out, she saw five heads squatting in front of her door.
Slightly surprised, he looked at the fifth fresh head. Who was this feminine and beautiful man? Why was he squatting in front of her door in the uniform of the prince's mansion?
"You're out! Sister, we were so worried about you! "
Lin Zhongyu was the first to see Lin Mengya. His eyes lit up and he immediately rushed to her, ready to give her a hug.
However, a pair of large hands were grabbing onto her clothes tightly.
"I haven't hugged you yet. How can it be your turn?"
The voice was evil and frivolous. Lin Mengya opened her eyes wide and looked at Qinghu, who was more beautiful than a woman.
How did he completely transform from a teenager to a grown man overnight?
"Why? Don't you recognize me? Is it because I'm too handsome? It's okay. I'm all for you. "
Lin Mengya was sure that it was Qinghu who always talked in a flirtatious tone.
Lin Mengya looked at the teenager who used to be about the same height as her. But overnight, he became a tall adult man.
