Being stared at by those two people, Lin Mengya had no choice but to put down the book in her hand and stare at the two guys.
After a while, Ruyue was glared at by Lin Mengya and couldn't help but ask questions.
"Miss, where did you learn these things? Why don't you teach me!"
Ru Yue complained, but Lin Mengya was too lazy to pay attention to her.
Turning around, he looked at the slim little guy.
"What's your name?" The young man seemed to be waking up from a dream, his face flushed, but he still mustered up his courage.
"They... they all call me Stone." The young man's voice was inaudible, but when it fell on Lin Mengya's heart, it sent out ripples in circles.
"Then where do you live? Do you have any relatives?" Lin Mengya, based on the principle of saving people to the end, wanted to send the child to his family.
Unexpectedly, the little guy shook his head, as if he remembered something unhappy.
"As long as I can remember, I have been wandering with an old beggar. Later, this group of people found me in a ruined temple, killed the old beggar and snatched me away. I heard Mao San said that in the future, I would I was sold to a rich family to work as a prostitute, so I was just asked to do these jobs that wouldn’t really hurt my muscles and bones.”
Lin Mengya's heart suddenly sank.
A pretty face, even more cold as ice. Her guess was indeed correct, but selling her to a rich family to work as a prostitute would be the same as death, wouldn't it
At that moment, his eyes flashed and he made a decision.
"The name Shitou is not pleasant. From now on, you will be called Lin Zhongyu. My name is Lin Mengya. We are cousins. Do you remember?"
Shitou, no, should be called Lin Zhongyu now. A pair of cat eyes, looking at the princess sister in front of her stupidly.
I pinched my thigh hard and realized that I was not dreaming.
"Really...is it okay?" Lin Zhongyu couldn't believe that such a good thing would fall from the sky and land on him.
"Of course, don't worry, no one will dare to bully you as long as I'm here from now on!" Lin Mengya didn't know why, but she recognized the child in a flash.
But she didn't regret it. If she let him go casually, those people would definitely come to trouble him.
When the time comes, you will have harmed him.
It's better to keep him by your side as a safe bet. Besides, the palace is so big that there is a lot for him to eat alone.
After such a thrilling morning, when Lin Mengya took Lin Zhongyu and Ruyue into the palace, Aunt Jinyue, who was beside Empress De, was already waiting at the gate.
There were two maids accompanying Concubine De.
Aunt Jinyue has a gentle temperament and is always courteous and courteous to her servants. So I walk in the outer courtyard more often.
There is another Aunt Jingyue who is calm, careful and considerate, but she is taciturn, so she mostly waits by Empress De's side.
"Greetings to the princess—" Jin Yue bowed and saluted. Even in the palace, she was still very polite.
Lin Mengya bowed, completely without the airs of the Lin family. Jinyue's eyes became softer and softer. This princess was beautiful and smart, and had a good family background. She was a good daughter-in-law.
"My aunt came to see me, but Concubine De has something to ask me?" she asked cautiously. To be honest, although she could please the concubine De with all her manners, but on the issue of the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she Also no experience.
"It's time to change your name to "Mother and Concubine". My Majesty has something to ask you. Concubine, come with your slave." Ru Yue and Lin Zhongyu were hastily arranged. Lin Mengya followed Jin Yue to the Yaxuan in the main courtyard.
In the main hall, Concubine De was sitting on the throne. Because he was not in the palace, he only wore a blue-grey Baoxianghua regular dress, and only wore an ordinary bun on his head, and only used a set of peony flower headdress.
Although there is not as much wealth and wealth as in the palace, there is a sense of intimacy.
Lin Mengya knelt there in a polite manner and paid her respects to Concubine De.
"Daughter-in-law, please give my regards to the concubine." There was a hint of sadness in Empress De Fei's eyes. It was only after seeing her well-behaved daughter-in-law that the clouds of sadness dissipated a little.
"Good boy, get up. Come on, my mother-in-law has a few words to tell you." Concubine De had to endure hardships in the palace for several years before finally getting Long Tianyu's peace. As Long Tianyu's princess, she must also train Lin Mengya.
"I heard from someone that you had a holiday with someone on the street today?" Concubine De's words made Lin Mengya blush.
Today, the noise was indeed louder, but she did not expect that Concubine De, who lived deep in the palace, would be so well-informed.
"I know that you are a sensible child. But after entering the palace, you will have to plan for Yu'er. For example, today, do you know that if those rogues can run rampant in the world, there must be power behind them? Do you know which faction this force belongs to?"
Concubine De's words instantly made Lin Mengya understand her shortcomings.
From bottom to top, she is the type to fight alone. So I always do things based on my own happiness. Some things really haven't been fully considered.
Moreover, the words of Empress De Fei came from the sincerity.
At that moment, Lin Mengya nodded with admiration in her heart.
Seeing her daughter-in-law being taught so well, Concubine De also had a slight smile on her face.
"It just so happens that starting tomorrow, Jinyue will go to Qinglan Court to serve. If there is anything inconvenient or you don't understand, please ask Jinyue. I am tired, so you should go back and rest."
"Yes, Ya'er is resigning."
"Yes, I obey your order."
After leaving the main entrance of Yaxuan, Jinyue followed Lin Mengya. Although Jinyue is considered an elder, she still adheres to her duties.
Along the way, everyone was bowing to Lin Mengya. Only now did Lin Mengya realize how many lives in this huge courtyard were tied to Prince Yu.
In Qinglan Courtyard, Lin Mengya was sitting on the soft couch, holding her hand on her forehead, thinking about what happened in the morning.
"Is the princess worried about what happened in the morning?" The considerate Aunt Jinyue personally brought up a plate of carefully selected fresh fruits.
Lin Mengya was in a lack of interest. She was so busy patronizing herself that she forgot to consider others.
"Aunt Jinyue, did I...did I do something wrong?" Jinyue smiled, shook her head, and whispered: "The princess did not do anything wrong, she just didn't think carefully. The empress is still young, and she will definitely do it in the future. It has a bright future.”
Concubine De, at this age, was just a little girl who had just entered the palace.
But the princess has a cruel heart that has been tempered by the Concubine De for twenty years. Just this is enough for her to stand firm.
After careful consideration, these four words made Lin Mengya suddenly enlightened.
It seems that from now on, she will think of these four words everywhere.
"Thank you Aunt Jinyue for your advice. Ya'er is very grateful." Lin Mengya admired the gentle and approachable Jinyue very much. After living in the palace for so many years, she still had a lot to learn!
"Miss, miss, go and have a look, Master Yu, he... he..." Ru Yue, who was taking Lin Zhongyu to take a bath, shouted and ran in.
The small round face was crimson, with big watery eyes, shy and timid. He kept calling him... but he couldn't say a complete sentence.
"What a state of panic! If the prince is here, wouldn't it be a loss of etiquette!" Compared with Lin Mengya's gentleness and courtesy, Jin Yue treated Ru Yue, an ignorant little girl, with a little more sternness.
The art of controlling one's subordinates is also a lesson that a princess must learn. Lin Mengya did not interrupt, but just watched quietly.
She brought Ruyue here, but she also dragged her into the unfathomable whirlpool of the royal family. If she were still as innocent as before, I'm afraid she would become a victim sooner or later.
If they want to live well, they, masters and servants, must change.
"Yes, aunt." Ruyue, who was used to being scolded at home, immediately became more honest. She only had big eyes, but she still looked at her young lady pitifully.
With a faint sigh, Lin Mengya stood up helplessly. After all, Ruyue was just a girl.
"Aunt, there's nothing important here. Let's teach you the rules tomorrow." Ruyue immediately hid beside the young lady as if she had found a savior, and secretly glanced at Aunt Jinyue.
Of course Jin Yue knew what Lin Mengya was thinking, so she bowed and walked out of the main hall.
"Miss, who is this person? Why is he so vicious?" Ruyue rubbed her head and looked at Lin Mengya.
"She is Aunt Jinyue next to Empress De Fei. From now on, you little girls will be under her control. Also, you should learn the rules from me. If something happens in the future, how will I take you out? .”
To play with the power of strategy is to play with people's hearts.
She doesn't expect Ruyue to become a Zhuge among women, but at the very least, she must be able to protect herself. Otherwise, she might as well find someone to marry as early as possible, and everything will be over.
But Ruyue was one of the few people Lin Mengya cared about in the past. She had to keep Ruyue even for the sake of that poor innocent girl who died in vain.
"Yes, I obey the order." Ruyue didn't feel relaxed when she heard that she had to learn the rules.
In the past, when she was at the Lin family, she would often get beaten for the young lady who couldn't learn how to do it.
But, why is it that now that the young lady’s rules have been improved, she is still the one being trained
"Okay, why are you calling me in such a hurry?" After wandering around for a long time, even Ruyue almost forgot his original intention.
She immediately took Lin Mengya's arm and said it, but the childish voice of a young man at the door interrupted her words.
"Sister, Sister Princess, can Zhongyu come in?" Lin Mengya greeted the door with a smile on her face.
"Come in, my God!" Even Lin Mengya, who saw the evil prince every day, couldn't help but exclaimed.
