In the chess game, Emperor Jin Yuandi was definitely a master.
Because he was good at strategy and could always win by surprise.
But today, even though he had the upper hand, even though he had won three rounds in a row, all of them ended in his victory.
For some reason, Emperor Jin Yuandi had a feeling that he had been manipulated.
Taking advantage of the tea break, he raised his head and glanced at the girl.
She was not complacent or insidious.
Her expression was the same as usual, with a faint smile on her face as she focused on the chess game.
"Your Majesty won."
Lin Mengya lost three games in a row, but she was calm and didn't even raise her eyebrows.
"It's just a game of chess. There's no winning or losing."
Emperor Jin Yuandi, who had always been astute, felt a little uneasy for some reason.
He seemed to be unable to see through this girl.
"Yes, a chess game is a chess game. No matter how hard I work, it's just a game. Besides, you are a master of this game. It's reasonable for me to lose. "
Lin Mengya smiled softly. Emperor Jin Yuandi's eyes were like torches, but he couldn't see any flaws.
"I haven't had such a good game for many years. Your chess skills are very good."
After all, the old fox was an old fox. Naturally, he would not easily throw out his means without seeing the target.
Lin Mengya chatted with him for a while until the servant outside reported that they had arrived at the Imperial Study. Only then did the old fox leave Ningqing Hall.
"It's so tiring."
As soon as he left, Lin Mengya's face fell.
She didn't like to confront these people, because she always had to stay calm and plot against each other.
"Princess, who do you think will know the news that His Majesty is here?"
Baisu, who disguised as an ordinary maid, served a cup of tea and asked in a low voice.
"Those who should know will know. However, all they know is that their esteemed Emperor spent an afternoon at my place."
Lin Mengya picked up the tea and gracefully fed it to her mouth.
If she was right, in the next few days, the self-proclaimed great emperor would often come to her Ningqing Hall.
People were like this. The more they couldn't see through, the more they wanted to see through.
Especially for people like Emperor Jin Yuandi, he would never allow people to know things he couldn't control.
In short, people like Jin Yuandi had a strong desire for control.
In the past, he wanted to control Jin Nation, and now, he wanted to control his son.
Unfortunately, not everything would go as he wished.
For three days in a row, as soon as the Jin Yuan Emperor left the court, he would find an opportunity to play chess with her.
Even though Lin Mengya lost more than she won, she would spend the whole afternoon with him every time.
Apart from playing chess, the two of them didn't say anything else.
But in the eyes of some observant people, it seemed that Emperor Jin Yuan and Princess Rong An had a secret.
Unfortunately, in the past few days, Jin Yuandi's mind was full of the chess game with that girl. He was thinking about how to kill everyone and how to reverse the situation.
The atmosphere in the palace was a bit subtle. For the first time, the astute Jin Yuan Emperor ignored the details around him.
In the evening, after sending off Emperor Jin Yuan, Lin Mengya went back to the bed and chatted with Baisu while drinking tea.
Snowflakes started to fall outside. It was the first snow of the year.
"It's said that auspicious snow indicates a bountiful year, but this year's snow seems to have come earlier than usual."
Knowing that her master was afraid of the cold, Baisu did not open the window to enjoy the snow.
But the outside was soon covered with a thick layer of snow. Because of the temperature of the ground, it melted quickly.
"Yes, what will come will come. What's the harm of coming earlier? Go to the kitchen and see how the things prepared for His Majesty are going. "
Lin Mengya's words implied something. She hugged the quilt tightly. The weather suddenly became cold, and she really wanted to move away from here.
But it would be soon.
His Majesty had played chess with her for three days, which could be regarded as giving her enough face.
It was impolite not to reciprocate, so Lin Mengya specially asked someone to make some special snacks of the Nation of Lintian for Emperor Jin Yuan to have a taste.
The bright red cloak was still conspicuous even in the dim light.
The large green umbrella also made her the center of attention amidst the snowy whiteness.
Stepping on the snow, the sound of crunching could be heard.
Although the roads in the palace garden had been cleaned by the servants in the palace, the road was still a little slippery because of the continuous snow.
Lin Mengya personally held a square lacquer wooden box with dark red fine gold lines. At first glance, she knew it was used by the royal family.
She walked very carefully, but she hugged the box tightly.
She was so careful, as if there was something very important in it.
It was a long distance from Ningqing Palace to His Majesty's imperial study, and they had to pass through many palace rooms.
She did not take the small sedan chair. If she fell at this time, she was afraid that it was better to walk by herself.
They walked very carefully, but when they just walked to a secluded place, a black shadow suddenly flew out.
"Ah!"
After a scream, Lin Mengya was hit to the ground heavily. The lacquer wooden box also flew out, and the things inside were scattered on the ground.
"Princess, are you okay?"
Several maids immediately helped Lin Mengya up, and the little servant who had offended the noble also knew that he had caused trouble, kneeling there and shivering.
"Your servant deserves to die, your servant deserves to die! Please forgive me for offending you, Your Highness! "
The maids around Princess Rong An were naturally angry. They came up and slapped him a few times, and scolded him fiercely.
"Are you blind? I didn't know that this is how the servants of your Jin State do their jobs! Let me tell you, if anything happens to my Highness, you will pay with your life! "
The maid's words were not polite, and the servant did not dare to talk back. He could only kowtow until his head was broken and bleeding.
"Forget it, he is after all not one of us, and it is not good to send him away. Tell him to be careful next time. He is so reckless, did he see a ghost? "
It was just that Lin Mengya fell on the snow, and she was wearing a lot of clothes, so it did not hurt much.
But her expression was a little anxious, and looked a little ugly under the flickering light.
"Get out! If you dare to offend my Highness again, you will have a hard time! "
The maidservant who had just given him a few slaps said angrily.
The little servant who survived immediately kowtowed and knelt on the side, as if he was scared silly.
Lin Mengya took a few steps forward, and personally put away the lacquered wooden box, and held it in her arms again.
They continued to walk in the direction of the imperial study, but the servant kept kneeling on the side of the road until they disappeared, and then slowly got up and turned back to the shadow.
The snow continued to fall for the whole night.
The snacks that Lin Mengya sent were naturally praised by the emperor.
But since then, she did not step out of Ningqing Palace.
She thought that the first snow would not last long, but it went on for three days.
The palace was wrapped in silver, like a fairyland.
But Lin Mengya ordered Baisu to restrain the servants, and no one was allowed to go out.
Other than food, people sent them food every day.
She spent the rest of the time in the room, writing and drawing.
Aside from her personal maidservants, no one was allowed to enter the room to see what she was writing.
If someone asked, they would say that Princess Rong An was drawing plum blossoms.
There was indeed a plum tree outside her window, but it was not the right time yet, so it looked bare and listless.
Three days later, the snow stopped, and Lin Mengya stopped writing and drawing.
"Give what I wrote to His Majesty for him to enjoy."
Lin Mengya asked someone to send it to him. Although she was not very talented, she had received modern education.
A few poems about plum blossoms were amazing in this time and space.
Of course, Jin Yuandi also considered himself to be elegant, and these poems would inevitably please him.
Sure enough, they were just sent in the morning, and in the evening, His Majesty ordered Eunuch Wang to send a large number of rewards.
He also wrote a poem in person, which could be regarded as elegant.
"His Majesty's poems must be treasured. Come on, get the mahogany box and put it on the top of the bookshelf. Remember, no one is allowed to touch it. "
Lin Mengya narrowed her eyes, looked at the maids who were busy sweeping the snow outside, and whispered.
"Yes."
October 15th was also the day when Princess Rong An entered the palace for half a month.
Originally, she was sent here for a marriage alliance.
Those who wanted to be a match for her were either princes or heirs of princes.
But she didn't know that her market was so bad. Those concubines in the palace just asked someone to send a lot of gifts, but they didn't dare to visit her easily.
Of course, it was also because she was seriously ill.
But Emperor Jinyuan doted on her very much. From time to time, he would go to Ningqing Hall to visit her, or give her some exquisite gadgets.
According to the rumors from the people around the emperor, His Majesty valued this daughter-in-law very much and had to find someone with enough weight.
These few sentences were enough to make her market rise.
Unfortunately, at this time, there were two other pieces of news.
First, His Highness the Crown Prince fell in love with this princess at first sight and claimed that he must marry her.
Second, His Highness Prince Yu was the candidate of His Majesty, and it was said that Princess Rong An was also very satisfied with this arrangement.
Two men were fighting for a woman, so it was difficult to have a good reputation.
Therefore, none of those concubines in the palace was willing to talk to her first.
If they annoyed His Majesty, the Crown Prince, or Prince Yu, they were afraid that their future would be worrying.
However, in such a dilemma, Princess Rong An was not in a hurry at all.
Every day, she stayed in the yard to recuperate, and she saw no one except the young earl.
But on this day, she had to tidy up her appearance and prepare to welcome distinguished guests.
In the palace, the most powerful woman, except for the one in the palace, was Prince Yu's biological mother, Imperial Noble Consort Dehui.
Imperial Noble Consort Dehui was of noble birth, and she gave birth to the Third Prince, so she was deeply favored by His Majesty.
However, she was a modest person. Apart from her own palace, she rarely interfered in other matters.
But His Majesty valued her and asked her to assist in the affairs of the harem.
