Holding an exquisite snack box, Bai Zhi's little face showed a bit of sadness.
Under the eaves, Bletilla striata and white peony root are drying duck down quilts for winter.
"What's wrong? Did you not have enough breakfast? I see you have eaten five meat buns!"
Baiji smiled and pinched her chubby little face.
"It has been five or six days, and the prince has not come to the yard to see the master. Fortunately, I have said a lot of good things about the prince in front of the master."
"Shh, please keep your voice down. If the master hears it carefully, it's time to worry again."
Bai Shao slapped Bai Zhi gently and lowered her voice.
The three of them sighed softly, looked at Lin Mengya's door, and shook their heads.
Everyone thought that the prince and the princess would remain as inseparable as ever.
But he never thought that from that day on, he would not step into the gate of Liuxinyuan again for five or six days.
In contrast, Princess Mingyue always went to Concubine De's Yaxuan to pay her respects.
Lin Mengya was suffering from illness and had no time to manage her family.
So Concubine De took care of the housework. In this way, Mingyue was on the side making suggestions.
The servants in the mansion are all guessing that Princess Mingyue may be the concubine in charge of the affairs as soon as she enters the house.
People with flexible minds began to adapt to the situation and began to get close to the future mistress.
However, I still dare not neglect the real concubine.
"Bai Su, are the chrysanthemums in the yard blooming?"
Lin Mengya sat in front of the window and looked at the yard outside.
The medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor, as well as the miraculous medicines obtained by Lin Zhongyu and Qinghu from who knows where, flowed into her stomach like water.
But no one knew that the reason why she recovered so quickly was because the radar in her mind provided her with the best detoxification plan at the moment.
After following her for a long time, the cold mechanical sound actually made her feel a little familiar.
Perhaps, apart from memories, the only intersection with myself who once lived in modern times is the sound of this radar.
After half a month of rest, she still hadn't returned to her previous round and lovely appearance.
Perhaps due to her physical weakness, Lin Mengya looked thin and slender, as if she were weak.
There is rarely a smile on her simple and beautiful little face.
Those penetrating eyes often looked into the distance, wondering what they were thinking.
"Well, I heard that you love chrysanthemums. Qinghu and the young master have transplanted many rare varieties over the past few days. How about I help you go out and have a look."
Among the four girls, only Bai Su never leaves her side.
Lin Mengya nodded and stood up from the couch. Bai Su carefully supported her and walked out of the house together.
"Master, it's windy outside, please be careful."
Bai Ji hurriedly took the green-gold cloak from Lin Zhongyu from the house and put it on Lin Mengya.
The large cloak covered Lin Mengya's slender figure, making her look even more petite and thin.
"It's okay, I just came out to see the chrysanthemums. You guys are busy with your business, just let Bai Su stay with me."
Since Yue Ting's accident, Lin Mengya fought hard to win the final honor for Yue Ting. ,
However, he seemed to be disheartened and didn't even care about the affairs of the house.
Lin Mengya walked to the small pavilion in the yard. The whole yard was covered with withered yellow, the rich colors of midsummer, but now, it has become a desolate forest.
"Girl, why are you out? Be careful of catching a cold. Look, this is the green chrysanthemum I found for you. It's very expensive."
Late autumn is not the best time to transplant chrysanthemums, but Qinghu and Lin Zhongyu didn't know where they came from, and they suddenly realized that the courtyard was filled with chrysanthemums of all sizes.
At this moment, Qinghu was happily holding a pot of light green chrysanthemums and placing it in front of Lin Mengya as a treasure.
"Well, the color is very elegant and matches you well."
Bai Zhi brought a cup of hot tea and stayed by Lin Mengya's side, refusing to leave.
Fortunately, everyone in the yard knew that Bai Zhi was Lin Mengya's little tail, and no one ever said anything.
"Damn girl, you know how to bury Master Tai. By the way, this is the land deed you want. I have already bought the house for you, but what do you want such a big house for?"
Qinghu secretly took out a thin land deed from his arms.
Lin Mengya didn't even look at it, so she handed it to Bai Zhi and asked her to lock it in the small library.
After taking a sip of the fragrant tea on the table, Lin Mengya said lightly:
"To buy a house, of course you have to open a shop. And didn't you say that after the battle in Taohuawu, many killers have thought about leaving?"
A glimmer of light flashed from Lin Mengya's eyes.
It's not that she's in despair, on the contrary, she wants to plot more.
"That's true, but the forces behind Taohuawu are ruthless. If those people find out, death will not be that easy."
As the former dock owner, Qinghu was very aware of his old club's methods.
Although, for some reason, Taohuawu would attack the courtiers. However, after this battle, Taohuawu's vitality was severely damaged and it was no longer as prominent as before.
"Isn't it just to poison you and control people's hearts? I will detoxify you, and I will offer you more attractive terms than Taohuawu."
The corners of Lin Mengya's mouth raised into a sneer.
As the saying goes, people die for money and birds die for food. In the past few days, she quietly asked people to count her dowry.
Her father and brother really loved her, including some antiques, calligraphy and paintings that could not be sold. Daddy is almost the same, he uses half of the Lin family to accompany him.
As the saying goes, money can make the world go round.
I believe that not everyone likes the days of licking blood on the tip of a knife.
"That's true. You are so bold, you actually dare to poach Taohuawu. Don't tell me, I appreciate you more and more."
Qinghu, who is afraid that the world will be peaceful, is not afraid of things getting serious at all.
Although the little girl in front of him seemed calmer and quieter, the evil idea in her heart made him more and more shocked.
Lin Mengya had her own plans in mind, Su Meiyun, the prince and the queen.
She will not let any of these people go.
"Princess, the Crown Prince's Mansion has sent an invitation, asking you and Princess Mingyue to attend the dinner hosted by the Crown Prince's concubine."
Outside the door, Butler Deng announced.
Lin Mengya lowered her eyes. Is this the Crown Prince's concubine's dinner party
That woman is not a good person.
"I know, I'll go there tonight."
The soldiers came to cover up the water and earth. Just in time, she had no chance to face the prince head-on.
If she was really sleepy, someone would hand her a pillow. Tonight, she would go meet the prince and the concubine!
It's the Mid-Autumn Festival. In addition to the dinner parties held in the palace some time later, various royal palaces are also holding small family banquets.
Among them, the one in Prince's Mansion is the most grand and lively.
Lin Mengya packed up and arrived outside the Prince's Mansion before it got dark.
Everyone in Kyoto knew that Princess Yu had contracted the cold and had just recovered from a serious illness, so her face must be as haggard as yesterday's flower.
Recently, there has been a lot of fuss about Prince Yu's marriage to Princess Mingyue of Xifan.
Many people were waiting to see Lin Mengya's joke.
But who would have known that when she actually got off the sedan chair, all the beauties around her would have turned into decorations.
"Princess Yu has arrived—"
The boy at the door immediately sang and shouted.
Almost everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Mengya.
But she was so radiant and elegant, and instantly blocked the mouths of many good people.
Even Princess Mingyue, who followed her through the door, was compared to a gloomy sparrow by her.
"Yingzhu dares to compete with the sun and the moon. He is really a person who does not overestimate his own abilities."
There was more than one person in the crowd who said such a thing.
Immediately receiving praise from most people, the smile on Mingyue's face was slightly dull for a moment, but she still smiled gently.
Only occasionally, when I ignored Lin Mengya, there was always a hint of resentment.
"Greetings to my concubine, your concubine, you won't blame me for being late, right?"
The unhappiness in the camp seemed to have never happened between the two of them.
Lin Mengya saluted gracefully, and Concubine Dugu, like a good sister, put her arms around Lin Mengya's shoulders.
"Get up quickly, you and I haven't seen each other for a long time. I heard that you are sick, and I am worried to death."
Concubine Dugu always had a friendly smile on her face.
She personally guided Lin Mengya to the table, which was such an honor that not many people could enjoy.
"Thanks to Madam Lao, everything is going as usual in Mengya. Madam Lao is worried."
Lin Mengya's expression was also impeccable.
People around them thought they had a deep friendship.
Only she knew in her heart how defensive she was against this woman.
"By the way, why didn't the prince come with you?"
She pretended to look towards the door, and a bit of doubt appeared on Concubine Dugu's face.
Lin Mengya lowered her head and smiled without saying a word.
"The prince said that he was summoned to the palace by the prince to discuss the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, so he is not here."
Mingyue, like a serious Princess Yu, told the whereabouts of Long Tianyu.
After finishing speaking with a slight smile, Mingyue glanced at Lin Mengya cringingly, as if she had done something wrong, and then lowered her head and remained silent.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle.
"It-it seems that my family will be very happy soon. Princess Yu, I have to congratulate you in advance."
The words of Concubine Dugu further confirmed the rumors.
This piece of big gossip started to circulate in people's minds.
Although Mingyue has not passed yet, it seems that she is more favored by Prince Yu than Princess Lin Mengya.
Lin Mengya smiled slightly, as if she didn't take the rumors to heart at all.
Instead, he just glanced at Mingyue and said:
"It can be called a happy event. In a short time, it will be the prince's birthday. The concubine has a good memory, and even I almost forgot."
It whetted everyone's appetite, but he said something that was not at all what they expected.
Lin Mengya's performance once again made interested people doubtful.
Could it be that Lin Mengya, the principal concubine, didn’t know that the prince wanted a side concubine, or—
