Is this the heritage of a great country that has not changed for thousands of years
Lin Mengya felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on her chest.
After getting off the carriage and entering the palace gate, Lin Mengya changed to a small sedan.
The palace was a bit deserted, probably because of the martial law. Everyone in the palace was in a hurry, but the guards patrolling back and forth had a look on their faces.
Lin Mengya did not look around, but sat down in the sedan chair obediently, letting the bearer and Qin Shuang take her to the deep palace.
"Girl, we're here."
The sedan stopped and Lin Mengya got off the sedan. On the vermilion door in front of her, the words 'Chongming Palace' were extremely solemn.
After entering the courtyard, it was the first time for Lin Mengya to see such a simple and elegant palace that was full of royal splendor.
She was taken to the side hall by Qin Shuang. It was spacious and bright, and it was complete with tables, chairs and benches. It was like a small reception room.
After Qin Shuang moved her to her seat, she invited someone in to serve tea.
Then he went out for a while and said to Lin Mengya after he came back.
"Girl, please be patient. Your Majesty is meeting guests inside. He will call the girl inside to talk in a while."
"Thank you, Mr. Qin, for your advice."
Qin Shuang knew that these were the words Gong Ya said before thanking herself.
Only this time, a wry smile appeared on his lips.
"Oh...girl, you better...be careful with it."
"Don't worry, sir, Gong Ya knows what's going on."
Qin Shuang nodded and led the people back out.
Lin Mengya sat quietly on the chair and took a sip of tea.
This tea is good tea, and it is the clear tea she is used to drinking at home.
There is no bitterness at all, and there is also a little sweetness on the tip of the tongue.
Only then did Lin Mengya notice that the teacup was similar to the one at home. It was a bone china teacup that looked like white jade.
This is not common in Weiguo, it is just her personal preference.
Therefore, seeing these two things now in the palace of the empress can only show that the empress knows his living habits very well.
Is this to scare her secretly
Lin Mengya put down her tea cup and waited in the side hall calmly.
Anyway, she has the Shennong System to relieve her boredom. At worst, she can go to the system to read things.
When it comes to patience, she is unmatched.
She didn't know how long it took before she heard movement at the door.
He immediately stood up and went over to greet him and salute the queen.
"Gong Ya has met the empress."
"Get up."
Today's empress is wearing a blue coat and skirt, and her black hair is tied into an elegant bun.
Unlike the imaginary crowds of people shouting in front and behind each other, Qin Shuang was the only one following behind Hou Zun.
Although Lin Mengya couldn't guess what the other party was thinking at the moment, she still knew the general intention.
Qin Shuang stopped at the door and closed the door of the side hall for the two of them.
"There are only two of us here, what are you doing standing around? Sit down."
The queen took the seat first, with a smile on her beautiful face.
Lin Mengya also thanked her and sat back in her seat again.
Hou Zunzi looked at her carefully, but Lin Mengya didn't panic.
He generously allowed the other party to study him thoroughly, and then, he spoke.
"You did well on that day."
"Your Majesty, you are so complimentary. In fact, it is all the credit of Mr. Lian Shenglian. Gong Ya is just doing your part for Mr. Lian."
As soon as she opened her mouth, she gave all the credit to Lian Sheng.
Hou Zun's eyes were slightly surprised for a moment, and then showed a somewhat satisfied look.
Very good, it seems that you don’t have to knock it yourself.
The atmosphere suddenly relaxed, and the empress's attitude towards her became slightly gentler.
"Well, the winning streak is indeed a way to prepare for a rainy day, but you also deserve a lot of credit."
Lin Mengya finally breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, her behavior was Liansheng's preparation for Longdu's safety.
Then, there is no suspicion that she deliberately conspired to rebel.
"Thank you, ma'am."
"You are not a big girl, but you are very safe in doing things. I have heard about your story. It is difficult for you to have such courage."
Next, it was a time of complimenting each other that Lin Mengya was very familiar with.
After the experience of Concubine De and Queen Lieyun, she already understood the psychology of such a noble lady very well.
Therefore, when he spoke, he was as sweet as honey, and every word touched the heart of the empress.
After this communication, although I don't love her as my own daughter, my impression of her has changed a lot.
And Lin Mengya also discovered how the empress was different from the noble ladies she had met before.
If the concubine is a canary and the queen is a good wife, then the empress is a real woman with a broad mind.
Even Lin Mengya, a person with modern education, was surprised by some of the words, so she felt a little more sincere respect for the empress.
However, the topic between the two people finally fell on yesterday's chaos.
"I and Your Majesty will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly, but it's a pity..."
The empress frowned slightly, thinking that she had encountered something difficult.
Lin Mengya understood it after thinking about it.
What my fourth brother can know may not be clear to the queen and the emperor.
It's a pity that if this matter really has something to do with the temple, the royal family will have no choice but to endure it.
After all, people can be knocked down, but hearts can be broken.
She also understood why the prince would become one of the candidates for the temple master.
Only the unity of divine power and royal power can prevent future troubles forever.
It's a pity that everything in the world will never go as planned.
"Forget it, I summoned you today just to see if you are okay. Now that I have seen it, I feel relieved. You also know that this matter should not be made public. If you have any request, why not do it privately? Tell me."
This is an opportunity. As long as she asks to go back to the palace family, I think the queen will agree immediately.
And she also understood that the choice of the Crown Princess was actually decided by the Emperor and the Queen.
My status is destined to be unsuitable for being a Crown Princess, and coupled with the relationship between the Emperor and the Queen, I have achieved half of my purpose of coming here.
Unfortunately, she can't leave yet.
After thinking about it, Lin Mengya said what she had prepared long ago.
"Since your Majesty said this, Gong Ya will be bold enough to ask for a favor."
"That's what you say."
"Although Gong Ya has not lived in the Gong family since she was a child, her family has been talking about the benefits of your majesty and empress since she came back. A common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of having a jade. The Gong family has suffered such a disaster only because of the legend. The wealth that rivals the country's wealth attracts people's attention. The empress of the Gong family knows very well that she has never fought against the world and only wants to protect herself. Therefore, Gong Ya hopes that the empress and your majesty can restore peace to the Gong family. "
His phoenix eyes were slightly raised, and he looked at her thoughtfully.
"This matter is easy to handle. I can ask the Emperor for a decree so that each family is not allowed to harass the Gong family again in the future. What do you think?"
Lin Mengya shook her head and said solemnly.
"This can only protect the temporary peace of the Gong family. Gong Ya knows that the emperor and the queen are compassionate. Therefore, the Gong family begs the emperor and the queen to accept all the property of the Gong family!"
The queen's eyes tightened, but only for a moment.
"Gong Ya, what do you mean?"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is generous, and Gong Ya knows that this money is just a drop in the bucket for your Majesty and your Majesty, and will not be of much use. But for the Gong family, it can save lives. Please show mercy to the Gong family, your Majesty. "
Lin Mengya immediately knelt down in front of the empress, pleading in her tone, which seemed to contain a hint of crying.
It was sincere enough to send money to her.
It seemed like she had been thinking for a long time before she heard the empress speak slowly.
"This matter... I will accept it for Your Majesty. However, your palace family has a large population. If all of them are taken out, how will the people live in the future? Forget it, you keep half and don't make any noise. But... This matter cannot be done in a big way, have you ever thought about how to get everyone to give up their evil thoughts towards the Gong family?"
As soon as the empress spoke, Lin Mengya knew that the matter was done.
She quickly got up, smiling through tears.
"Your Majesty is right, Gong Ya also feels that this matter cannot be made public. Therefore, from now on, the Gong family will establish an official school. The Gong family will teach in the fiefdom and work for the public school to make a living. However, this matter still requires the empress and your majesty. of approval."
Education, for Hou Zun and Huang Zun, is obviously a chore like water.
In their eyes, by doing this, the Gong family not only consumes the remaining family capital, but also cultivates talents for each family.
Simply, it is a losing business.
But the empress is the empress, and she soon realized the other hidden meaning of Gong Ya.
His eyes flashed, but he didn't answer her request immediately.
"This matter is of great importance. I want to discuss it with His Majesty. Why don't you wait patiently in Longdu. I will definitely give you an answer after the matter is dealt with."
"Yes, it all depends on the arrangement between the empress and your majesty."
Lin Mengya retreated obediently, Qin Shuang went inside first, and then took Lin Mengya back the same way.
Different from the uneasiness that came in before, now she can be said to be at peace.
She has some confidence in the temperament of the Emperor and the Queen, and they are not greedy people.
This money is indeed very important to them, but it is not so important that they are blinded by it.
Regarding her request, they still had to calculate the pros and cons.
In their position, in addition to considering the interests of the royal family, it is difficult to think and weigh how to maintain their position and how to benefit the people who defend the country to the greatest extent.
But she was sure that the Emperor and the Queen would definitely agree.
My heart relaxed, and sleepiness surged up.
After she forced herself back to the small courtyard where she temporarily settled, she fell on the bed without saying a word.
The sky is big and the earth is big, sleeping is the biggest!
After this sleep, she slept directly until the next morning.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Bai Su and Jun'er lying beside her bed, asleep.
