"Prince Yu, I'm just here to remind my brother not to provoke someone he shouldn't provoke."
Hu Lunan replied in a gentle tone, a change from his sinister demeanor at the farm.
However, Long Tianhao did not fall for it and looked at him warily.
Hu Lunan felt that he had been snubbed and gave a hollow laugh before he turned around and walked over to King Ming's side.
"Your brother doesn't seem to be a good person."
Long Tianhao said in a low voice as he looked at Hu Lunan's back.
Hu Tianbei did not mind such comments at all, as if he was used to it.
"Lunan is used to being willful, I hope the two of you can forgive him."
This pair of brothers was strange. Lin Mengya nodded, but did not say anything.
"Mengya, this is the Crown Prince of King Ming and Qinghan's sworn brother."
Long Tianhao explained in a low voice. Lin Mengya was surprised. Concubine De had told her that Long Qinghan liked to make friends with the most capable people in the world. She did not expect him to have such a relationship with the Crown Prince.
"I was rude the other day, I hope you can forgive me, Princess Yu."
Lin Mengya told Long Tianhao everything that had happened in the Wanfo Temple.
Although it was confirmed that the person who abducted her was the Second Prince of King Ming, Lin Mengya still did not know what was the conspiracy behind it.
"It's alright, don't take it to heart, Crown Prince."
Lin Mengya could tell that although the Crown Prince did not care about trifles, he was a free and easy person. It was no wonder that he was Long Qinghan's best friend.
"Crown Prince, please take a seat. The Crown Prince and the Queen will be here soon."
Hu Tianbei nodded and returned to King Ming's side.
Long Tianhao let go of Lin Mengya's shoulder. The two of them had attracted too much attention just now.
The banquet went on as usual. All the dignitaries and the noblewomen sat in their seats and chatted in low voices.
"Is that Princess Yu?"
"What's so great about her? She was able to marry Prince Yu because of the power of Marquis Zhennan's family."
"Hey, look at your jealous face. Don't tell me you still miss Prince Yu?"
Lin Mengya heard what the people around her were saying.
Lin Mengya picked up the cup on the table and took a sip. She didn't want to cause such a heated discussion, but it was a pity that she was too eye-catching.
"The Empress arrives! The Crown Prince arrives!"
The eunuch's shout instantly silenced the entire Yuanshan Palace.
Everyone stood up and bowed towards the door.
"Long live the Empress. Long live the Crown Prince."
Lin Mengya and the other princesses and princesses all bent their knees to greet him. Even King Ming and the crown prince had to bow to him.
"Everyone, please rise. Today, in order to welcome the Wisdom King, we have specially arranged this banquet. Both the king and his subjects can enjoy the festivities, there is no need to stand on ceremony."
Hearing the Crown Prince's voice, Lin Mengya immediately felt a pair of malicious eyes glancing at her.
"Thank you, Crown Prince, thank you, Empress."
Everyone bowed and rose to their feet. Lin Mengya raised her head slightly and unexpectedly met the Crown Prince's eyes.
A trace of amazement flashed across the Crown Prince's eyes.
Lin Mengya didn't dress up very glamorously today, but she was more radiant than everyone else.
She was like a pearl, quietly radiating her own brilliance.
How could a good-for-nothing have such a woman?
"Crown Prince, is that Princess Yu? Why don't you introduce her to me? "
Standing beside the Crown Prince was a beauty dressed in purple. She looked pure and lovely, and didn't seem to be scheming.
Lin Mengya guessed that she must be the Crown Prince's most beloved vice wife.
At the age of 13, the Crown Prince married his wife, who was the same age as him. But one and a half years later, the Crown Prince's wife died.
Now, she was an extremely favored vice wife and was in charge of everything in the Crown Prince's Mansion.
Her name was Dugu Wuxia, a foreign woman. At the age of 15, she became the Crown Prince's vice wife and was very favored.
Lin Mengya was very curious about her. How could a foreign woman stand out in the eyes of the Crown Prince, who was obsessed with the new and hated the old?
I'm afraid that this person isn't simple!
"Alright, you should be close to your sisters-in-law. But let's pay a visit to King Ming first. "
After glancing at Lin Mengya, the Emperor led his vice wife to King Ming for a chat.
Although Concubine De was under the control of the Queen in every aspect, she was on good terms with many aristocratic families outside.
Therefore, Lin Mengya didn't feel too cold towards her.
"Are you Nansheng's sister? What a beautiful girl. No wonder your brother always talks about you. "
Lin Mengya looked up and saw a young woman dressed in a pink palace dress standing in front of her.
Although the woman was not a stunning beauty, she had a delicate little face and a faint smile. Her eyes were clear and transparent, but she was different from the other girls around her who liked to fight.
Such a clean and virtuous woman was completely different from her.
"I'm Lin Mengya, Lin Nansheng's sister. But I'm …"
"I'm … I'm Yueting. We used to play together when we were young."
A shy smile appeared on Yueting's fair face. Lin Mengya immediately remembered that the woman in front of her was her brother's fiancée.
The Yue family was strict, and Yueting's relationship with her brother was based on etiquette. Moreover, Yueting knew that Lin Mengya was having a hard time at home, so she often used Lin Mengya's money to support her.
However, Yueting had not seen Lin Mengya since she was five years old.
But Yueting had been treating her well for ten years. She was very sincere to her brother.
"So it's you, Sister Yueting. Look at me, I'm such a heartless girl. When I got married, she asked someone to give me a jade bracelet with a phoenix singing together. Even the embroidered shoes I'm wearing were made by her. How could I forget about you? I deserve a beating. "
Lin Mengya was very affectionate. She held Yueting's hand and sat down.
"It's not that you want to forget about me. Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years. Every time I met you, I got to know you through Nansheng's letters. "
Yueting looked at Lin Mengya, feeling sorry for her. She had heard a lot about the Lin family.
But Lin Mengya used to be smart and quick-witted when she was young. How did she become so silly?
Even Nan Sheng could only sigh helplessly.
Later on, Madam Lin did not allow anyone to visit Lin Mengya on the grounds that she needed to recuperate.
She could only use some of her own money to buy some toys for Lin Mengya.
Fortunately, she was engaged to Nansheng. No one said anything when a sister-in-law was concerned about her sister-in-law.
"In the past, when I stayed in the courtyard to recuperate, I seldom saw you. In the future, we'll be together more often. Otherwise, people will say that I'm heartless. I'll be wronged. "
Lin Mengya smiled gently. She had her own plans.
Elder Sister Yueting was meticulous, virtuous and kind. She was a perfect match for her brother's wise and powerful brother.
She had to keep a close eye on such a sister-in-law for her brother.
"You!" Yueting poked Lin Mengya's forehead. Although they had not seen each other for a long time, they were after all childhood playmates.
It was easy for them to get close to each other.
"But, what kind of doctor did Prince Yu invite for you? Have you recovered from your illness?"
Lin Mengya's illness was a hot topic in the Capital City.
Except for a few people who had seen her in person, the rest did not know about Lin Mengya's real condition.
Therefore, Lin Mengya became Princess Yu, which was a miracle in the Capital City.
Yueting was not a gossipy person, but she had many questions in her heart.
"I … I was just a little agitated because of all the bragging and the bridal sedan and the wedding dress."
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows slightly and made up an excuse.
If she said that she was poisoned by Lin Mengwu when she boarded the bridal sedan. She believed that with Shangguan Qing's ability, she would be labeled as a demon.
"Oh, that's good. I was worried that you would be bullied. "
Yueting patted Lin Mengya's hand and her pretty face was full of worry.
"Of course not. The prince treats me very well. "
Indeed, apart from other things, Long Tianhao was absolutely impeccable when it came to the treatment of his employees.
In fact, apart from Long Tianhao's cold face, everything else was not bad!
"That's good. I can see that the prince really loves you. I'm relieved."
Yueting was surprised to see that Long Tianhao was so protective of Lin Mengya.
After the Crown Prince greeted Queen Ming, the banquet officially began.
The Queen was dignified and noble, and the concubines around her were like stars surrounding the moon.
The Crown Prince was all smiles and kept toasting King Ming from afar. He also had the demeanor of a king.
Other than Lin Mengya and Yueting who were best friends, the concubines who rarely met the Queen's family also secretly called their juniors to greet them.
"Sister Yue, why don't you introduce me to Uncle Yue and Aunt Yue?"
Since her father and brother were not around, Lin Mengya naturally had to take care of these etiquettes.
However, Yueting looked reluctant. She secretly shook her head and said,
"Father is fine, but mother … Sigh, now that you're the princess, it's better for you not to go."
Lin Mengya's heart skipped a beat. She looked at Yueting and lowered her head awkwardly.
She suddenly remembered that Mrs. Yue was a good friend of the Queen's.
Back then, it was the Empress who was in charge of their engagement.
However, Yueting became kinder and smarter as she grew older. Because of Lin Nansheng, she had many disagreements with her mother.
If not for Yueting's mother, the Grand Secretary of the imperial court, who was very particular about etiquette, this marriage would not have happened.
"Sister, what are you talking about? Even if I'm the princess, shouldn't I have some manners? "
Seeing that Lin Mengya was so insistent, Yueting could not refuse.
However, Lin Mengya was the princess, and her mother was only a third-grade lady. She could not refuse.
