"I think it's probably some family matter. After all, it's not easy for a princess to be in charge of the palace."
Long Tianyu had never cared about the affairs in the palace, but Butler Deng knew that with so many holes in the palace, naturally there were many more things.
But everything was taken care of in an orderly manner by the princess. As the chief steward of the palace, he also had fewer chores.
"Princess—she is indeed very capable."
Lowering his head and smiling lightly, Long Tianyu wrote down his instructions on the document. For some reason, her laughter always made him feel something indescribable.
"Your Majesty, in fact, at your age, it is indeed time for you to have heirs."
As a veteran, Steward Deng has always been loyal, so he is more nervous than anyone else about the matter of Prince Wang's heir.
Long Tianyu remained silent. Heirs were particularly important to the royal family.
My father had a total of eleven princes, and several of them died young.
Therefore, the requirements for adult princes and fathers are even more stringent. We hope that every prince can grow up to be a dragon or a phoenix among men.
But now, the prince is ambitious and the queen is arbitrary. These princes, except for those who are adults and have titles, can barely break away from the queen's influence.
The remaining young princes who were underage or whose mother's family was in decline were at the mercy of the queen.
But now, if he has an heir, he will definitely become a thorn in the queen's side and a thorn in the flesh.
He didn't want to expose his family and children to danger.
"The princess's health is not good. If she gives birth now, it is not the best time. Let's wait for this matter."
More than once, his subordinates have urged him to plan for an heir.
Last time, someone advised him to establish another concubine. Or he could have a few beautiful concubines, but Long Tianyu either remained silent or used other reasons to send that person away.
There were already enough women in the house, and because of Jiang Ruqin and Bai Shao's affairs, he almost had a fire in the backyard.
Master is right, women are like dangerous beasts, and it is better to be less contaminated.
"There is no need to talk about this matter anymore, I have my own plan."
Butler Deng looked at Long Tianyu, but secretly sighed in his heart. The prince has always been a person who likes to keep things in his heart.
On Lin Mengya's side, everything has been arranged.
According to her plan, she will definitely be able to shine at the blessing banquet. However, if she wanted to completely make the prince and queen suffer the consequences of being dumb, she would have to make some special arrangements.
"Okay, I leave these things to you all. If it can be done, the prince will give you a big reward."
Lin Mengya's eyes had curved into the shape of a squinting crescent moon. She has done Long Tianyu a big favor, isn't it an exaggeration to ask for some benefits
Long Tianyu, who was preparing an official document, shook his hand slightly.
Immediately, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
This girl is plotting his personal wealth again.
From that day on, Long Tianyu and Lin Mengya began this slightly awkward cohabitation life.
During the day, he went out to deal with political affairs, while she was at home, training the singer to dance.
At night, he was processing official documents under the lamp, and she was inside, chatting with her maids.
But from time to time, he would find some chicken soup, ginseng tea and the like on his desk. That was all her intention, but these two people avoided seeing each other. Living under the same roof, they became more and more polite.
Three days passed by in a flash. Under Lin Mengya's personal supervision, all preparations were carried out in an orderly manner.
Mr. Qin would come to the palace every day to teach etiquette for two hours.
Only at this moment, Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu no longer need to act polite. After all, in front of outsiders, these two can be regarded as a sweet couple.
With her hands clasped together, Lin Mengya, wearing a loose formal dress, performed the heaven-sacrifice ceremony meticulously under the guidance of Mr. Qin.
"It's very good. The movements are smooth and natural, and there is no sense of unfamiliarity at all. In my opinion, it is quite the legacy of the late Empress Zheng."
Strangely enough, Lin Mengya's movements were not jerky at all. Between the flowing clouds and flowing water, there is only the softness and nobility of a woman. She is dignified and not inferior to the princess in the palace.
Lin Mengya nodded and declined modestly.
She also had some doubts in her mind, probably because she had traveled through time in the modern era, so her understanding ability was relatively strong.
Seeing that there was nothing wrong with Lin Mengya's movements, Mr. Qin personally began to teach Long Tianyu.
As a member of the royal family, Long Tianyu's importance is second only to the prince.
In the spacious flower hall, Long Tianyu, dressed in black clothes, looked serious and solemn.
As a winter festival, Lin Mengya will only participate in a very small part. But Long Tianyu had to participate in the whole process. Mr. Qin's requirements were extremely strict. He not only had to be steady and accurate, but also had to have a royal demeanor in every move.
Lin Mengya's handsome side face was always tense, and some people were like this. Even if he was just doing the most tedious and boring things, it would only make people feel graceful and noble.
As if she couldn't get enough of it, she sat on the side with her eyes motionless, looking at Long Tianyu who was saluting there. Even she didn't know how infatuated she looked now.
"Girl, if you look again, your eyes will be glued to that person."
As the sour words rang out, Lin Mengya turned her head and saw Qinghu dressed in women's clothing without any surprise.
There was no other way, there were too many outsiders at home these days, and Lin Mengya couldn't hide in the yard all the time, so Qinghu had no choice but to go back to his old business and put on enchanting women's clothes.
However, Lin Mengya now seriously doubted whether this guy had some kind of transvestite.
A while ago, she was a coquettish aunt, but these days, she plays the role of a pure and beautiful lady.
Not a single thing about the hairpin skirt is sloppy.
At this moment, she was pouting her mouth, pretending to be an ignorant girl.
"He is handsome, of course I want to look good. Aren't you training those dancers in the backyard? What are you doing here?"
Qinghu looked at Long Tianyu with disdain, but he had the privilege of sneaking into Lin Mengya's room every night and whispering.
Although, every time he came out, Long Tianyu would glare at him. But who is he? How could he care about Long Tianyu's death ray
Every time, he would walk to his room proudly.
"We're almost done training, but Yuexiang, who is going to be the main dancer today, didn't come. I sent someone to ask, and she said she wasn't feeling well last night, so she won't come today."
Qinghu's words made Lin Mengya frown slightly. Yuexiang was the most famous dancer in Kyoto.
Not only has a graceful figure, but also a high level of understanding. Now, this dance can be said to be a race against time. Yuexiang is not feeling well at this time, but she feels that something is wrong.
"Then go and see for yourself. If there is any accident, we can handle it in time."
Qinghu nodded, turned and left.
There are only three days until the Winter Festival’s heaven-sacrifice ceremony. Don’t make any mistakes then!
Another busy three days have passed, and Kyoto finally ushered in the long-awaited winter festival.
Because this was a big day to celebrate with the people, so early in the morning, the road from the imperial palace to the Ancestral Temple was already blocked by civilians watching the fun.
Before dawn, Lin Mengya followed Long Tianyu and De Fei to the palace.
She will dress up here, and then go to the Ancestral Temple with Long Tianyu to pray for the country.
As Princess Yu and the daughter of Zhennanhou's general, Lin Mengya naturally has an extraordinary status.
An exquisite dress was put on her body, and she immediately looked graceful.
Around the waist, there is a girdle embroidered with Qingluan patterns, using only a white jade phoenix head to hold a white jade bead.
On the left and right, hanging purses filled with various spices, and her unique princess jade pendant.
On her feet, she wears embroidered shoes made of various treasures, with a calfskin base, which is soft and warm. It is only hidden under the wide skirt and can occasionally be glimpsed.
On her head, she wore eight precious phoenix hairpins. Her jet-black hair was tied into a noble and elegant ingot bun, paired with a phoenix hairpin, which gave her a unique and elegant charm.
Compared with half a year ago, her beautiful facial features have lost some of their youthfulness, but they are not as beautiful as the empress in the palace, leaving only a soulless beauty.
While looking around, I just felt that it was very smart, and the bright red lip color also had a domineering and dignified look.
Lin Mengya looked at herself in the mirror and felt a little unreal.
In the mirror, there is a woman who is extremely beautiful and has a unique charm in every move she makes. Is it really her
"Princess, the time has come, and the prince is already waiting in the courtyard."
The four girls also wore pale pink palace clothes. Compared with Lin Mengya's beauty and luxury, they actually have their own merits.
The five masters and servants attracted everyone's attention as soon as they appeared in the yard.
Long Tianyu stood in the yard, looking at his princess, who was walking towards him step by step, but his eyes were slightly dull.
The woman in front of her was stunningly beautiful, and the bright red color of her dress made her skin as white as snow and as white as jade.
There is always a slight smile on his face, and he is full of energy. His eyes are exquisite and translucent, and his eyes seem to be able to see everything in the world.
She moved lightly with lotus steps and walked to him gracefully, like a fairy from the sky descending into the mortal world.
Long Tianyu suddenly remembered the scene when the two got married.
He still remembered that day, she was wearing such a red dress, but he didn't know what kind of changes this unexpected princess would bring to his life.
"Your Majesty, let's go,"
Lin Mengya opened her red lips lightly and said softly.
"Okay, let's go."
Long Tianyu took her slender hand and walked side by side with her.
Outside, there was already a sedan chair waiting for the two of them.
Lin Mengya shook Long Tianyu's hand, with silent support in her eyes.
