In the big tent of the dinner party, Long Tianyu suddenly felt a faint uneasiness in his heart.
Because they were outside, he couldn't sleep in separate rooms with Lin Mengya. Therefore, Ye was left in the house.
Looking for an excuse, Long Tianyu returned to the tent that served as a temporary bedroom, but only Lin Mengya's four girls were there.
"Where is your master?"
Frowning, he looked at the stunned girl inside the room, and a bad thought crossed Long Tianyu's mind.
"Master, she went out alone."
Bai Ji, the most stable one, also knew that something was not right about the current situation, so he had the courage to answer Long Tianyu's words.
"When did you go out? Who did you go with?"
Something is wrong, this is not the palace, Lin Mengya will not go out without even a servant.
Besides, this place is in the wilderness and there are dark woods outside. Where will she go
"Send someone to find the princess immediately. You must find her!"
Long Tianyu always felt that something was fishy, and the prince and Hu Lunan also found an excuse to go out for unknown reasons.
What if these two people meet Lin Mengya and have a conflict
"Where are you going in such a hurry?"
Long Tianyu was about to follow him out to search, but was interrupted by a soft voice.
Lin Mengya lifted the door curtain and appeared in front of everyone.
"Princess! Master! Where have you been? We are all so worried about you."
The four girls immediately gathered around him and greeted him in soft voices, which was so considerate.
"Me? I just went out for a walk. Qinghu is with me. It's okay."
After coming out of the small tent, Lin Mengya quickly walked back to her room.
Those three people were only fooled by her for a moment, and they would surely wake up if it was too late. No matter how powerful the people around her are, they can't compare to the many trump cards they hold.
Therefore, it was so mysterious that she was able to escape smoothly.
"where did you go?"
From the moment she walked in, Long Tianyu's heart finally settled in his stomach.
Standing aside, watching her comforting everyone, but not seeing herself, for some reason, a trace of sourness quietly filled her heart.
"I just went out for a walk, Qinghu can vouch for me. My lord, why are you still here? Is the banquet over?"
I was a little surprised to see Long Tianyu here. Logically speaking, the banquet should not be over yet.
"As long as you're okay."
Long Tianyu, who was choked by Lin Mengya's words, felt that the game was not enjoyable.
It was obviously because he was worried about her that he went back to the tent to find someone regardless.
Now it seems that he is a bit nosy.
When he didn't come, Long Tianyu became sulky, turned around and walked out of the tent.
Only Lin Mengya was left, stupidly confused about the situation.
"Master, you don't know how anxious the prince was just now when he discovered that you were missing. How could you say that?"
Bai Zhi complained about Long Tianyu, looking like her master didn't know what to do with him.
"How do I know, he... Forget it, I'll just go find him and apologize later. You four, no one will cause trouble for you here, right?"
When she was detained, her only worry was that these four girls would be in trouble.
Fortunately, there were many guards around, including Bai Su, an expert guarding him.
After seeing with her own eyes that everyone was safe and sound, Lin Mengya finally felt relieved.
"Master, don't worry, with Bai Su here guarding them, no one can hurt them."
Through this short period of time together, Bai Su had already seen through Lin Mengya.
Although she is a princess, she values these friends extremely.
Therefore, for the sake of the princess, Bai Su will protect these people with all his life.
"Okay, then I'm relieved. Bai Shao and Bai Zhi, come back with me to the banquet."
Her early departure may arouse suspicion and criticism from many people.
Besides, the prince and Hu Lunan would also return to the banquet at this time. How could she miss such a good show
The banquet was still going on as usual, and sure enough, everyone was back. From the moment Lin Mengya came in, countless eyes fell on her.
"Your Majesty, thank you for your concern."
Sitting next to Long Tianyu, Lin Mengya whispered her thanks.
With one word, Long Tianyu's slightly cold face softened a lot.
The mellow voice, after being silent for a moment, suddenly replied:
"You're welcome."
Her heart felt warm, but Lin Mengya just picked up the wine glass and hid the smile on her face.
The banquet was still going on, but the looks in the eyes of the prince and Hu Lunan were about to tear Lin Mengya into countless pieces.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. This matter was caused by my inconsiderate thoughts. Please punish me by Your Majesty."
The two of them were surrounded by confidants, so they didn't have too many scruples when speaking.
Concubine Dugu did not expect that things would turn out like this.
She knew the prince's temper best. Only this time, not only did the prince not get what he wanted, but he was also defeated by Lin Mengya. How could he not be angry
"I don't blame you for this. I just didn't expect that woman to be so cunning."
The prince held the wine glass, but he almost crushed it with force.
Unexpectedly, he would fall into the hands of a little girl. It was simply a shame and humiliation!
What's more, this woman still belongs to that little bastard Long Tianyu!
Sooner or later, he would get this debt back.
"Yes, thank you Prince for your understanding. However, the guards here in Lingju Mountain are not as tight as in Kyoto. Prince, don't worry, I will be more careful in the future and will not let her escape again."
In fact, Dugu Concubine and Lin Mengya didn't have much hatred.
It's just that after this time, the prince's love for her will inevitably be affected by this incident.
There are so many concubines in the palace, and I'm afraid she will have to spend a lot of money if she wants to be favored again.
Suddenly, Lin Mengya also became the target of resentment.
"Your Highness, in our Western Region, a true warrior must be able to capture tigers and shoot wolves. I wonder if there are tigers, wolves, and ferocious beasts on Lingju Mountain in the Jin Dynasty?"
King Ming seemed to be in high spirits. In Xifan, a man who could become a king must not only have extraordinary courage, but also have superhuman courage and courage.
It is said that when he was young, he captured a wolf with his bare hands.
Lin Mengya took another look at Prince Ming. This man was probably extremely dangerous.
"This—Lingju Mountain is a royal enclosure. If you keep wild beasts, you may be in danger of hurting people."
The so-called royal paddock will contain at most some small animals such as roe deer.
To put it bluntly, they were afraid that these noble sons would be injured by wild beasts while hunting.
This place is only set up for their entertainment.
King Ming burst out laughing when he heard the prince's answer.
"It doesn't matter, young people, you just have to venture out to grow. Well, I brought a tiger from Xifan. Why not, let's use it as the prize for this hunt."
King Ming waved his hand, and four strong Xifan warriors immediately came up carrying a huge iron cage.
Lin Mengya took a closer look and saw that the tiger was very strong. As soon as it was placed in the cage, it let out a roar that shook the valley.
This tiger is bigger than the four strong men. Although it is locked in a cage, it is still too proud and refuses to surrender.
The whole body is covered with white fur, without a trace of mottled color.
What a tiger! Lin Mengya felt a little regretful in her heart.
The so-called tiger is bullied by a dog when it falls in peace, it is the current situation.
"This-this is not good."
The prince looked at the tiger and hesitated.
Not everyone can deal with this tiger. What's more, that is the tiger of Xifan and the king of the mountains and forests, so he cannot tolerate any slightness.
"It's nothing. Although this tiger is powerful, in the eyes of my Xifan warriors, it is just a beast."
There was a hint of provocation in Prince Ming's words. The prince reluctantly accepted this move and nodded reluctantly.
Lin Mengya's eyes were always focused on the white tiger, which surprised Long Tianyu.
This girl, doesn’t she also think that catching a tiger is an easy task
"My lord, when the time comes, can you let this creature go?"
Somewhat surprisingly, Lin Mengya's first words were to ask Long Tianyu to let the white tiger go.
"Oh? But if the hunting starts, I won't be the only one who wants to catch it."
Long Tianyu didn't intend to participate, he just wanted to show off.
But Lin Mengya turned her head and looked at herself firmly with a pair of watery eyes.
"This is a pregnant tigress. If it really dies, then the life in its belly will also be dead."
Lin Mengya had just observed carefully that although this white tiger looked majestic, its belly was obviously disproportionate.
No matter how it roars, it always protects its belly.
Lin Mengya speculated that this tiger might be pregnant.
"How did you know?"
Long Tianyu took a look and felt that the tiger was slightly bigger than usual.
It seems that what Lin Mengya said is probably true.
"I know it would be unrealistic if I asked King Ming to release him now. But I just hope that he can give birth to the little tiger in his belly before we can talk about it."
Lin Mengya knew that if it were left to the private sector, even the most skilled butchers would not easily slaughter pregnant animals.
This is a rule that people have agreed upon. No matter how small a creature is, it is worthy of respect when it comes to reproducing the next generation.
Lin Mengya was not a silly little white rabbit, but she felt compassion for this tigress.
"If that's the case, I'll try my best."
For some reason, Long Tianyu agreed to Lin Mengya's request. Then, he reluctantly discovered that it was getting harder and harder for him to say no in front of her.
