"Over the years, Princess Lingnan has threatened me to do a lot of things for her. Whether it was in the Lingnan Palace or in the palace, she made me do a lot of things."
There was a hint of coldness in Concubine De's words.
How could someone as proud as she be easily become someone else's puppet
All compromises are just waiting for an opportunity to settle things.
"The reason why she is so arrogant is because she holds something in her hand that can be regarded as my leverage."
There was a bit of frost on Concubine De's face, and there was a hint of coldness at the corner of her mouth.
"So the reason why the mother-in-law endured the humiliation is to take back what Princess Lingnan has in her hands?"
Lin Mengya's head turned quickly and she immediately saw the intention of Concubine De.
"You're half right, actually, that thing -"
Concubine De's words were interrupted by a female voice.
"Sister De Fei, it was my sister's fault just now. Please don't be angry."
Not far away, Princess Lingnan led Shangguan Hui and walked to Concubine De's side with a smile on her face.
"No matter what, they are all my sisters. It's just that there have been a lot of things lately, and my words have been a little irritable, so don't take it to heart, sister."
Only then did Lin Mengya realize that the one with the best acting skills in the emotional family was definitely her mother-in-law, Empress De Fei.
Lo and behold, with just a change of attitude, she became a tragic heroine again.
Every expression on that face was somewhat pretending to be calm.
If she hadn't told Lin Mengya the truth before, even Lin Mengya would have thought that Concubine De must have been scared to death of Princess Lingnan.
But, Shangguan Hui
Lin Mengya thought for a moment, Shangguan's family in Kyoto was the queen's natal family.
Could it be that this girl is from the Queen's side
After observing Shangguan Hui carefully, she was as gentle as water, without even the slightest hint of Shangguan's arrogance.
Or, that's just how she is.
Or, this is the facade she puts on.
In short, she still needs to be careful.
"Sister, you blame me for bringing someone from the Shangguan family, right? Sister really misunderstood me. Although Hui'er is a branch of the Shangguan family, it has nothing to do with that family. It's also my lack of consideration. No wonder my sister is angry. It’s over.”
Princess Lingnan is also good at singing and chanting, and every move is like that.
Lin Mengya still maintained her arrogant look, standing beside Concubine De without raising an eyebrow.
"How could it be? The ladies of the Shangguan family, whether from the branch or from the main family, are all good."
Concubine De was like a frightened bird, looking uncomfortable everywhere.
Princess Lingnan must have thought that it was time to give Concubine De a beating, so she ordered with a bit of pride on her face.
"I still have some things to discuss with Imperial Concubine De. How about asking Princess Yu to take Hui'er to visit the palace?"
Princess Lingnan was not afraid that Lin Mengya would not agree. After all, Empress Dowager De was still at her mercy.
"Ya'er, just take Miss Shangguan for a walk around the palace. I... I don't mind."
Concubine De's eyes were slightly lowered, with a somewhat unnatural smile.
Lin Mengya felt that the scene had come, so she bowed, ignored Shangguan Hui, and walked over alone.
"Go ahead. Although Ya'er has a bad temper, she is a good child. Miss Shangguan, don't blame her."
Shangguan Hui's smile was just shy and pitiful.
Turned around and followed Lin Mengya.
"Sister De Fei, it's time to settle the score between us."
Princess Lingnan's eyes revealed a somewhat cruel smile.
"good."
A strange smile passed quickly from Concubine De's lips.
The two people turned behind the flowers, not knowing what they were talking about.
Although Lin Mengya was walking in front, she was casually paying attention to every move behind her.
Shangguan Hui seems to be as quiet as she appears on the surface.
Lin Mengya rolled her eyes, but stopped at the edge of a pool in the imperial garden.
"It is said that Princess Yu is smart and wise. When I saw her today, she was indeed not a mortal."
There was no Concubine De around, and no Princess Lingnan either.
But in Shangguan Hui's eyes, it seemed more and more real.
She lacked a bit of virtuous fairy spirit, that kind of arrogance that only smart women can have, which made Lin Mengya raise her eyebrows secretly.
She just said, how can there be so many virtuous and kind people in this world.
"I still keep the mask that the princess gave me at the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet as a souvenir. The princess won't forget it so quickly, right?"
Hearing her mention the chrysanthemum appreciation feast, Lin Mengya immediately thought of a woman wearing a mask.
Looking at Shangguan Hui's figure, he looked exactly like the man who covered his face and spoke!
"It turned out to be you? It turned out to be you?"
Lin Mengya was slightly surprised. After all, Shangguan Hui was also from the Shangguan family.
Shangguan Hui nodded with a smile and said:
"It's me. I want to help the princess, but unfortunately, my identity is a bit sensitive. The queen is present, so I have to be careful."
But despite having nothing to do to be attentive, Lin Mengya always felt that something was wrong.
Especially a smart woman like Shangguan Hui.
"It's just that Mengya doesn't know why, Miss Shangguan, she actually thought of helping me?"
Shangguan Hui looked into Lin Mengya's eyes and blinked suddenly, and then, a little blush appeared on his face.
"Speaking of it, this is a bit hard to say. If I say, I do it for... Major General?"
Major General? Lin Mengya was stunned. Could it be that she was talking about her brother, Lin Nansheng
"I... I am just the daughter of a side branch of the Shangguan family that is not taken seriously. Although I am a direct descendant, the family has declined, and I can only become a tool of others. But since, at a banquet three years ago, I saw When I reached the rank of Major General, I felt that no man in the world could compare with him."
This answer really surprised Lin Mengya.
Oh my God! Shangguan Hui actually likes his brother
Although her brother Feng Shen was handsome and heroic, he was indeed a man of the highest caliber.
But in front of her there was Sister Yue Ting who worked hard without caring about her own safety, and in the back there was Shangguan Hui who fell in love with her at first sight.
This... is a bit ridiculous, right
It's just that Sister Yue Ting's body is still cold. She can't do something that is tantamount to betraying Sister Yue Ting.
"I accept Miss Shangguan's kindness on behalf of my brother. However, you also know that my brother doesn't know about Miss Yue's affairs yet. If he finds out, even I can't predict what will happen. So, I I advise Miss Shangguan not to put all your thoughts on my brother."
Lin Mengya has clear grudges, and Shangguan Hui has helped her, so she will not retaliate for kindness.
However, everyone in the Lin family is full of infatuation seeds.
My father is, and my brother is not far behind.
The most fearful thing is that when sister Yue Ting passed away, her brother's heart was buried with her.
Even if it was out of selfishness, she didn't want her brother to live alone like this.
Of course, now is not the time to talk about this.
Shangguan Hui's smile was also a little dim.
However, after a second, it turned into a confident smile.
"I know what happened to Miss Yue's family, and I also know that Miss Yue's family must have been framed."
Lin Mengya's heart moved slightly. Only a very few people knew the inside story of the situation at that time.
Shangguan Hui, how could you know
Seemingly a little excited, Shangguan Hui took Lin Mengya's hand, looked into her eyes, and said with great sincerity.
"The Shangguan family has been colluding with Prince Ming for a long time. I have met the young lady of the Yue family several times. Frankly speaking, she is a very rare woman. How could a girl who understands etiquette so well take the initiative to do such a sloppy thing with a man? . Not only do you not believe it, I don’t believe it either. Moreover, he is the second son of King Ming. What kind of person is he? How can he be compared to the young general."
Lin Mengya didn't expect Shangguan Hui to analyze it so thoroughly.
Whether you are pretending or sincere.
These words were the first time she heard them on Sister Yue Ting's side after her death.
"Although I don't know if your words are sincere or not. But I also have a good impression of you."
Lin Mengya held Shangguanhui's hand and said gently.
"It's just that you know what kind of person my brother is. If you are destined to be together, I won't stop you. If not, I hope you can find your destination."
Shangguan Hui laughed happily, her eyebrows curved, a bit sweeter than honey.
Lin Mengya felt that even if Shangguan Hui didn't tell the truth, her love for her brother must not be fake.
"I know that you have a close relationship with the lady of the Yue family. I am really touched that you can say that. I don't know what you are going to do, but I can guess a little bit. Don't worry, I will cooperate with you."
Shangguan Hui blinked, and then put away the smile on his lips.
Suddenly, she took Lin Mengya's hand and pretended to be pushed into the pool.
There was a 'pop', and the sound of falling water made Lin Mengya slightly stunned.
Looking at Shangguan Hui, who was pretending to flutter vigorously below, she blinked at her. In an instant, she understood what the hell this guy was doing.
She is also—what a person of action!
Since you want to act, you have to act like it.
"Bai Su shouted, shouted as hard as she could, it's Miss Shangguan who fell into the water. By the way, Shangguan's girl, go find someone quickly and tell them that Princess Yu pushed Miss Shangguan into the water with her own hands."
The two people on the shore in the water exchanged glances.
Immediately, the confidants of the two families also began to shout loudly.
"Thanks."
The soft sound made Shangguan Hui hear it clearly.
He raised his head, gave Lin Mengya a smile, and then started to flutter again.
The Mid-Autumn Festival Night Banquet seemed to be very lively from the very beginning.
"Look at you, what did Miss Shangguan do? How could you push Miss Shangguan into the water!"
In the side hall, a large group of people watched, watching Concubine De scolding Lin Mengya.
But she looked stubborn and refused to admit her mistake at all.
Every time he looked at Guan Hui, he glared at her fiercely.
"Tell me, what's going on!"
