"Princess, you-" Jinyue hesitated, as if she had something to say.
But the masters and servants in the room were all immersed in the joy of becoming a nouveau riche.
Smiling and shaking her head, Jinyue stepped back and gently closed the door to the room. Although the princess's behavior was unethical, the prince was very kind to the princess even if he didn't say it on the surface.
Some things are just between them as a young couple.
I'm afraid it won't be long before Concubine De is going to be a grandmother!
Although Lin Mengya had just married, she was a real mistress.
Deng Yun, the chief steward of the palace, personally sealed three hundred taels of silver and sent it to Qinglan Courtyard.
"Greetings to the Princess, may you wish her peace and happiness." Deng Yun was in his fifties, of medium build, but his face always had a certain seriousness to it.
This person is considered to be Long Tianyu's confidant. He used to be a sergeant in the army, so he still maintains some military style.
Even though the person in front of him is considered his serious master, he is still neither humble nor arrogant, and his etiquette is thorough.
"Steward Deng, please wake up. From now on, we are all a family, so there is no need to be so formal. Come and watch."
In the Nuan Pavilion, Lin Mengya was sitting on the soft couch, wearing only a moon-white uniform. Jin Yue and Ru Yue stood on the left, and Lin Zhongyu sat on the right.
"Thank you, Princess. I was just busy with the prince's marriage a while ago, so I delayed giving the money to my wife. Please forgive me."
Ruyue brought a square brocade table, and Butler Deng sat down. He saw that although the mistress in front of him was still weak, she had a faintly stunning appearance.
There was a warm smile on her pretty face, and she looked like an ordinary lady.
"It doesn't matter, I just got married, so I hope Butler Deng can give me some advice on what's going on in the house."
Lin Mengya is not stupid. She wants to turn Prince Yu's Mansion into her base camp. At least, she must know herself and her enemy.
Butler Deng pondered for a moment and talked about the details of Prince Yu's Mansion in detail.
There are three housekeepers in the palace. Deng Yun is the chief steward of the palace. He is the leader in both the inner and outer courtyards.
Below, there is also Wang Ming, a steward of the inner courtyard, and Cheng Nan, a steward of the outer courtyard. Prince Yu was not a womanizer, so he had no concubines in the house, and even maids and wives were very few.
Not close to women? It's a pity that Long Tianyu looks like a monster.
But this is good, as it saves me from sinking into endless house fights every day.
After seeing off Butler Deng, it was time for dinner. Jinyue returned to Yaxuan to serve Concubine De for dinner. Lin Mengya asked someone to cook a table of delicious food and rice for Ruyue and Lin Zhongyu.
Although Ruyue is a maid, she has always been around Lin Mengya, and her etiquette is not bad.
What surprised Lin Mengya the most was Lin Zhongyu's table manners, which were very strict and well-educated. This little guy, after being cleaned, turns out to be a monster.
In comparison, in another three to five years, you can go out and cause harm to all living beings.
"Sister Princess, I... are there rice grains on my face?" From the very beginning, Lin Zhongyu felt that the beautiful sister Princess, who was as beautiful as a fairy, was looking at him with a little fiery gaze.
His little face suddenly turned red. Could it be that he ate too much, so his sister hated him
Reluctantly, he placed the bowl in his hand on the table. The princess sister was a good person, she rescued him and brought him to the palace. He would rather eat less than let his sister, the princess, dislike him.
"No, sister thinks you are good-looking, but too thin. Come, eat a chicken drumstick." Looking at the reserved Lin Zhongyu with a smile, he couldn't help but lament that boys in ancient times were still innocent.
Look, after just being looked at for a while, his face turned red.
"Princess, the prince has sent word that he will rest in the study tonight. You should go to bed early." Outside the door, the stewardess of Qinglan Court replied, and the three people in the room Stunned.
It's only been three days since she moved in, and she's going to be alone in the empty room
An indescribable smile appeared from the corner of Lin Mengya's mouth, and she took a chopstick of vegetables and put it in her mouth. Great, I finally don't need a shaker tonight!
"Miss, you... don't be sad! I believe that the prince must have official business to deal with." Ruyue blinked her round eyes and comforted the young lady, but in her heart she complained that she had fallen in love with the prince, and the young lady had just married him. I have to stay alone in the empty boudoir. It turns out that this princess is really not easy to be.
"Sad? Why should I be sad?" Lin Mengya glanced at Ruyue and instantly understood what she meant.
She and Long Tianyu just had the status of husband and wife. Besides, the only thing she wants to do now is to settle down in this strange place.
"Don't you guys leave tonight, I'll teach you how to play cards!" Lin Mengya suddenly became interested. When she was in college, she was really busy with her homework in medical school, and she had never lived an ordinary college life.
She devoted herself to research projects, and she rarely participated in the activities of the three girls in the same dormitory.
It took her a lifetime to realize that she could actually do more.
"Playing cards?" Ruyue and Lin Zhongyu looked at Lin Mengya in unison. Seeing that she was quite interested, they had no choice but to swallow their doubts.
After asking Ru Yue to go out and get some paste and cardboard from the ladies, Lin Mengya painted and made a deck of playing cards.
"Sister Princess, what kind of cards are these?" Lin Zhongyu looked at the thick pile of cards on the table, dumbfounded.
But Lin Mengya waved her hand and carefully played with the cards on the table.
She doesn't know how to play games that are too difficult. After much deliberation, only the national game Landlord is the most suitable for three people to play together.
After briefly explaining the rules, Butler Deng happened to bring another three hundred taels of money over. Lin Mengya generously gave the other two twelve taels of gambling capital, and the three of them gathered in the room to entertain themselves.
After a while, Lin Zhongyu, who was familiar with the game, was able to dominate the other two families. Only Ruyue was still there, dumbfounded and confused about the rules.
Different from the bustle in Lin Mengya's place, there was silence in the study room of the palace.
From the age of twelve, Long Tianyu was sent to the army by his father to train. After so many years, he has developed a calm and calm personality.
Holding a book on the Art of War in his hand, he was lying on the small bed in the study room. He spent many nights alone here.
Women, to him, are synonymous with trouble. Except for his mother-in-law and Aunt Jinyue, there has never been a woman who can bother him in so many years.
However, the woman in Qinglan Courtyard was weird in every aspect. He must find out clearly that no one with evil intentions should be allowed in the palace.
"Master." A gust of wind blew by, and a black figure appeared in the study. Ye knelt on one knee and lowered his head.
"How is the situation in Qinglan Yuan?" The wedding has come to an end. The people who were listening to the room in the palace had already dispersed. There was no need for him to stay there and act.
He would only feel uncomfortable wherever that woman was.
"Princess, she—she is taking her maid to play cards with that boy." There was a trace of hesitation in Ye's voice.
Long Tianyu's cold eyes moved slightly, but the art of war in his hand was thrown onto the small table in front of him.
"Oh? Playing cards? Is it Pai Gow or Ma Diao?" Long Tianyu didn't expect that the girl was still restless. It's just that ordinary ladies can only play tricks at most.
"Back to the prince, I don't know, but the cards played by the princess are very weird, and I have never seen them before." Ye hid in the dark and watched for a long time, hearing about bombs and straights, and was confused.
However, according to the report from the spies of the Lin Mansion, Lin Mengya has been raised in the Lin Mansion since she was born. Normally, she never leaves the house or takes a step forward. How could such a person know such a card that he has never seen before? Skill
After all, what's the deal here
"Come with me and take a look." His eyes darkened, and Long Tianyu flew out. After a few ups and downs, people had already reached the roof of Qinglan Courtyard.
Ye followed closely behind, and everything about the three people in the room was already visible.
"Three threes and two fives." Ru Yue took out five cards from her hand with a proud look on her face.
In the room, three people were sitting around the table, with bright lights and cheerful expressions on their faces.
"Passed." Lin Zhongyu looked at the cards in his hand and shook his head, but the corners of his eyes were as cunning as a fox.
"Three fours and a pair of sixes!" Old God Lin Mengya took out five cards from his hand and slapped them on the table.
Suddenly, Ruyue pouted her little mouth, unwilling to let go.
Long Tianyu took a closer look at the crudely made playing cards on the table. On it, there were cards like ghost drawings, which even he couldn't identify, but the three people were playing enthusiastically.
"Ugh, miss, I don't want to be a landlord anymore! I hate it, I hate it, you have almost taken back the ten taels of silver, and I still want to go to the west of the city to buy sesame seeds!" Ruyue muttered. Very reluctantly, he took out a few mung beans and put them on the table.
"You! Now you are so reluctant to part with mung beans just for winning or losing, you miser!" Lin Mengya nodded Ru Yue's forehead. How could she really get back those ten taels of silver.
"Miss, do you really not want your slave's money?" Ruyue's big eyes widened. Oh my God, her monthly salary is only one penny.
Now I actually got ten taels of silver at once, hehe, I can finally eat enough sesame seeds and rock candy balls!
"Sister Princess, I don't want it." Lin Zhongyu silently pushed the money back to Lin Mengya.
"Why don't you want it? Don't worry, sister still has a lot of money. You can take it with you. If you want to eat or play, you can buy some." Lin Mengya pushed the money to Lin Zhongyu. This little guy, I definitely don’t want to cause any trouble to myself.
Lin Mengya looked at the little guy in front of her with warm eyes. Ever since she rescued Lin Zhongyu from the street, this little guy has been as docile and well-behaved as a kitten.
But she couldn't forget the stubborn and indifferent look in his eyes when she first saw him on the street.
If possible, she will protect Lin Zhongyu well throughout her life.
The night wind lifted the corners of Long Tianyu's clothes.
It was undeniable that the woman in front of her, although she was eccentric, although she was old-fashioned and warm-hearted, and although her methods were ruthless, she still radiated brilliance like a pearl in the night.
She could pretend to be a dignified lady in front of the queen; she could also be arrogant and arrogant in front of her stepmother; but at this moment, she had no airs at all and was playing around with her servants and the picked-up boy.
In the end, which side is the real Lin Mengya
