Lin Mengya sent a servant to inform Long Tianhao, and then she left Prince Yu's Mansion with her four maidservants.
Lin Mengya was riding in a carriage with the emblem of Prince Yu's Mansion. More than a dozen guards followed her carriage in an orderly manner, which attracted a lot of attention.
"Master, why did you bring so many people with you today?"
Baizhi lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked at the group of guards outside, and asked in confusion.
"Isn't it simple? Master, you're going to visit the future Young Mistress of the Lin Family. If you don't show up, you'll be looked down upon. "
Baishao, who was straightforward, said exactly what Lin Mengya was thinking.
Elder Sister Yue Ting had also hinted at her in her words.
Today, if she didn't use the princess's aura, she might be rejected at the door.
"Miss Yue is beautiful and gentle. She used to treat you very well."
Baizhi excitedly told her about Elder Sister Yue Ting.
Lin Mengya listened to a few paragraphs, and the more she listened, the more she felt that her sister-in-law was a slightly virtuous woman.
Brother, you're so lucky.
"But Master, although Miss Yue is good, Mrs. Yue is not easy to deal with. If she talks back to you, please don't be angry. "
Speaking of Mrs. Yue, Baizhi looked at Lin Mengya worriedly.
Although it was a good thing that Lin Mengya had become intelligent, her temper was getting more and more unpredictable.
"I'm aware of this matter."
She lowered her head and blew on the tea in front of her.
For the sake of her brother and Elder Sister Yue Ting, she would deal with her mother-in-law, no matter how difficult it was.
Soon, the carriage arrived at the Yue's Mansion. The Yue's were a family of scholars, so naturally, they were different from the other nobles.
Although the mansion had been renovated for a few generations, it was simple and unadorned, not luxurious.
What a noble family. Sitting in the carriage, Lin Mengya asked someone to take her visiting card and went to knock on the door.
After a while, a middle-aged man with a kind face came out to welcome Lin Mengya with servants, wife and children.
"I didn't know that Your Highness would come, please forgive me for not going out to meet you."
Lin Mengya got off the carriage with Baisu's help. She was graceful and had the temperament of a princess.
"Uncle Yue is too courteous. I should have come to pay a visit a long time ago. Unfortunately, there were matters to attend to in the mansion, and I only had some free time today. Uncle Yue, please don't blame me for being rude."
Yue Shilin smiled gently and looked at Lin Mengya, who was still young but had the demeanor of a princess, with a trace of appreciation in his eyes.
"Don't mention it. It's an honor for my humble abode to be honored by your presence. Please come in."
Like the moon surrounded by stars, Lin Mengya was escorted into Prince Yu's Mansion. Lin Mengya secretly looked around and wondered why Mrs. Yue and Elder Sister Yue Ting were not among them.
Suddenly, a familiar figure came into sight. It was Yue Qi, who was following behind the crowd, who kept giving Lin Mengya a meaningful look.
Her little face was full of anxiety. Lin Mengya's heart skipped a beat. Did something happen to Elder Sister Yue Ting?
When they arrived at the reception hall of Yue's Mansion, Yue Shilin finally sat on the main seat after Lin Mengya insisted.
The servants in the mansion had already prepared the best tea. Lin Mengya took a sip. The tea had a refreshing aroma and was definitely not an ordinary tea.
"Is Princess Yu doing well in the mansion? Elder Brother Muzhi is guarding at the border. He is very concerned about Princess Yu's recent situation. "
Yue Shilin and Lin Muzhi had been good friends since they were young. One was a scholar, while the other was a martial artist. They hit it off well.
Therefore, he treated Lin Mengya kindly, as if she was a junior in his family.
Moreover, Lin Mengya was well-educated and reasonable. She had Lin Muzhi's open-minded character, which suited his taste.
"I'm doing well. Uncle Yue, thank you for your concern. I haven't heard from my father and elder brother for a long time, and I miss them dearly. "
In fact, every month, her father would send a letter home.
However, they were all kept by Shangguan Qing.
Lin Mengwu took all the trinkets that her elder brother had asked someone to bring back for her.
Those that were not so eye-catching were thrown away by them.
Therefore, Lin Mengya was very concerned about her father and elder brother. Unfortunately, there were two annoying dogs in the way.
"Elder Brother Muzhi is also doing well. I received a letter from him a few days ago. The soldiers at the border are determined to kill the enemy in the bitter cold. Your father's prestige has spread far and wide, and the enemy dares not to invade. That's why there is peace today. "
A sense of pride welled up in her heart. In her memory, this wise and powerful father was always very gentle and kind to her.
He did not transfer the pain of losing the love of his life to her in the slightest.
With her father's love, she was the happiest person in the world.
"In this case, I'm relieved. Mengya is here to ask for your help, Uncle."
"I don't deserve this. Just tell me what you need, Princess Yu."
Lin Mengya smiled, and there was a hint of desire in her eyes.
"These are the cotton-padded clothes I've prepared for my father and elder brother. The border is not like our home. I heard that last year, when the army was short of money, my father gave away all his cotton-padded clothes and wore only an unlined shirt for the winter. As his daughter, I can't bear to do that. Uncle Yue, please pass it to Mengya as a form of comfort. "
Lin Mengya asked someone to carry a huge box over. Yue Shilin looked at the wooden box in surprise.
What kind of cotton-padded clothes were these? Why were they carried in this box?
But when he opened the box, he saw the neatly arranged cotton-padded clothes. These were definitely not only prepared for Lin Muzhi and Lin Nansheng.
"This …"
"There are a total of 1,800 cotton-padded clothes here. They were prepared by Prince Yu. These are just a drop in the bucket for the 100,000 soldiers at the border. Although Mengya and Prince Yu have limited abilities, we hope that they can do their part for the soldiers. "
These cotton-padded clothes were indeed prepared by Long Tianhao.
Since the army's pay was robbed last year, the soldiers at the border not only had to endure the danger of death, but they also had to endure the lack of food and clothing.
Therefore, Long Tianhao would often send some food and cloth to them through his former subordinates.
But these were all done in secret.
Now that Lin Mengya asked Yue Shilin to send the cotton-padded clothes, she wanted everyone to know, but not to make it public.
After all, it was not the prince's mansion who sent the clothes. It was up to Yue Shilin.
"Oh, I thank Prince Yu and Princess Yu on behalf of the soldiers at the border."
Although Yue Shilin was a civil official, he was incorruptible and had the ambition to serve the country.
However, the world was dangerous, and loyal officials were never put in an important position. Moreover, the Crown Prince was headstrong and self-opinionated. He only cared about his own pleasure and never thought about the soldiers at the border.
Lin Mengya's move could win over the hearts of Yue Shilin's Yangxi family.
Little by little, she wanted to take over all the power that could be of use to Long Tianhao.
"Uncle Yue, don't say that. If anyone asks, just tell them that it's because of our filial piety. As you know, Prince Yu and I are also in a difficult situation. "
Lin Mengya reminded Yue Shilin vaguely, with a bitter expression on her face.
Yue Shilin understood that the Crown Prince and the Queen were not people who could tolerate others.
"Don't worry about it, Princess Yu."
He promised Lin Mengya solemnly, and she nodded gently. The two of them had reached an agreement.
The cotton-padded clothes were carried away. Both the host and the guest were happy, and Lin Mengya felt that the two of them had become closer.
She asked in a tactful manner,
"Oh yes, Elder Sister Yue Ting and I hit it off. Why didn't I see her? "
Lin Mengya pretended to ask casually, and Yue Shilin's face froze. Just as he was about to speak, Yue Qi, who could not help but say,
"Elder Sister Lin, please go and save my sister. She … she's about to be driven to death by mother! "
Yue Qi's words made Lin Mengya and Yue Shilin's expressions change.
"Qi 'er, don't be rude. Leave now."
Although Yue Shilin said this, there was a hint of helplessness in his tone.
Lin Mengya realized that the powerful Mrs. Yue must be trying to curry favor with the powerful.
She sneered in her heart, "How could the daughter-in-law of the Lin Family be taken away so easily?"
She waved Yue Qi over and comforted her gently, "What's wrong with Elder Sister Yue Ting?
"What's wrong with Elder Sister Yue Ting? Can you tell me?"
Yue Qi wrinkled her nose and burst into tears.
"Mother forced Elder Sister to marry into the Lin Family, but Elder Sister refused, so she locked Elder Sister in her room. Elder Sister became stubborn and refused to eat or drink. Qi 'er was afraid that Elder Sister would not be able to take it if this went on. "
But Lin Mengya laughed in her heart. "This girl is too good at acting."
It's only been a day, how could she starve to death? "
However, since Yue Qi had said so, Lin Mengya had to continue.
"Uncle Yue, what's going on? Elder Sister Yue Ting has been betrothed to the Lin Family, how can she marry someone else? "
Yue Shilin's face was burning when he heard the words of a junior.
Naturally, he did not want his daughter to marry someone else. Moreover, breaking off an engagement was something that should not be done.
However, his wife had threatened him with death this time.
Although he would not talk to Brother Muzhi about breaking off the engagement, he could not force his wife either. He was in a dilemma.
"This … Sigh, it's all my wife's fault."
Yue Shilin sighed and said in a low voice.
His face was full of guilt, and he seemed to have aged a little.
Lin Mengya knew what was going on. After thinking for a while, she said,
"Speaking of which, this is a matter concerning the inner courtyard. If Uncle Yue can trust me, why don't I go and persuade Aunt Yue?"
Yue Shilin was tempted by Lin Mengya's offer.
Moreover, she was a prominent person, and she could control the tigress in his house.
"Wouldn't it be too much trouble for the princess? Moreover, we shouldn't wash our dirty linen in public."
Lin Mengya comforted him, "How can we wash our dirty linen in public? When Elder Sister Yue Ting marries into our family, we'll be a family. Don't worry, Uncle Yue, I'll do my best to not make things difficult for you."
Yue Shilin thought for a while, and finally nodded his head heavily.
