Only their confidants were left in the palace. Madam Jingrou pretended to mention it accidentally, and the meaning was self-evident.
With her ears pricked up, Lin Mengya obediently retreated to Madam's side, acting as a human background.
"Yes, although Li'er is young, he is the eldest brother's son after all. He is very talented and intelligent, but I really can't compare to him."
When Xin Luan praised his nephew, his tone was quite sincere.
"Li'er's talent is not bad, but his temperament is a bit impetuous. He is far inferior to you. If the position of high priest falls on his shoulders, I don't know whether it will be a blessing or a curse."
After Mrs. Jingrou finished speaking, the two of them fell into silence.
After a long time, Xin Luan let out a long sigh, as if he had taken off a lot of his guard.
"Fortunately, sister, you escaped from the Xin family, otherwise you would be in dire straits like me now. Sister, since you have given up on the Xin family, you should try not to get involved in the Xin family's affairs again. Today's Xin Home is no longer the same place it was before. If possible, I would also like to leave that place like my sister."
Xin Luan's words contained a lot of helplessness.
He seemed to be very envious of his wife, but also had a hint of warning.
"Of course I know this. When I gave up my position as Gu Girl, it meant that everything in the Xin family was no longer involved with me. However, you should know better than me what Xin Li and my eldest brother are thinking. They Such ambition may ruin the entire Xin family."
Somewhat excited, Lin Mengya raised her eyes and looked at the two people.
Mrs. Jingrou rarely has such emotions, and her eyes are even more watery. It seems that she is not completely ruthless towards the Xin family.
After all, it is the family that gave birth to and raised her, so it is normal for Madam to have such worries.
"Alas, eldest brother and Li'er are too ambitious. It's not you or I who can convince them. Sister, we can only rely on the king and Yu'er for this matter."
Does this mean refusing to cooperate
Lin Mengya was slightly surprised. She knew exactly what Madam meant by coming here today.
In addition to coming to visit an old friend, more than anything, it was just to test the high priest's position.
But this high priest spoke impeccably. No matter how you look at it, there is no flaw. I believe that even Madam will be unable to do anything to him for a moment.
But Lin Mengya always felt that Xin Luan was not as desireless as he said.
Coming out of Xiannan Hall, Mrs. Jingrou had a heavy look on her face, and she walked in a hurry along the way, full of worries.
Xin Luan, the legendary high priest of the Xin family.
She originally thought that Xin Luan was an ambitious man who was good at dancing.
But I didn't expect that he was an elegant and honest man who was very nostalgic for old feelings.
Although Xin Luan and his wife's words did not reveal any useful information.
Lin Mengya was keen, but she still captured some information.
The relationship between Xin Luan and Xin Li is not good, but thinking about it, Xin Luan's current position is a bit awkward.
He was in his prime and had an excellent successor, but he still lost the position he had worked hard for so many years to a child from his master's family.
Also, Xin Luan and the King are definitely related.
Although there is no conclusive evidence, when they first entered, there were so many books piled up in Xiannan Hall, which was not what someone who lived here for a day or two would prepare.
Unless he planned to live here permanently, otherwise, the two of them would not be able to move these books.
If Xin Luan had a relationship with someone else, he would never live in the palace.
Lin Mengya became more certain of the possibility that she had guessed at the beginning.
Withdrawing from his contemplation, he saw Mrs. Jingrou in front of her and stopped.
Ning Qiu had already greeted him, looked at the intersection, and then at his wife.
"Madam, do you want to go to Linqiu Pavilion?"
At the forked intersection, one leads to Fengyu Garden, and the other leads to Linqiu Pavilion.
The eldest queen has been well for a few days. Logically speaking, Mrs. Jingrou should also go and see the eldest queen.
But all of them knew how difficult the queen was, so if they only arranged for the lady to go this time, they would be in trouble again.
Lowering her eyes, Mrs. Jingrou lowered her expression. No one knew what she was thinking.
After a moment, she raised her head, but Lin Mengya felt that the lady at this moment seemed a little different from before.
"Go to Linqiu Pavilion."
There was a hint of firmness in her soft voice. Although Lin Mengya couldn't tell what the specific changes were in his wife, her expression seemed to be calmer and more peaceful than before.
It's strange. I just went to Xiannan Hall and met Xin Luan. How could Madam have such a change
"Helan, come here."
Upon hearing Madam calling her name, Lin Mengya immediately rushed to Madam Jingrou's side and stood with her hands down respectfully.
"For a while, you will be by my side, adapting to circumstances. Do you understand?"
What does it mean? Lin Mengya raised her head and stared into Mrs. Jingrou's eyes for a few seconds before nodding.
As if she had made up her mind, even Lin Mengya felt that such a lady made people feel inexplicably at ease.
There was some doubt in her eyes, but one thing Lin Mengya was sure of was that this time they went to Linqiu Pavilion, they might never be bullied like before.
The Queen's Linqiu Pavilion is as lively as before, with carved beams and painted buildings.
Perhaps because she was recovering from a serious illness, many concubines who had been friends with her in the past were even more diligent in sending various supplements to her palace.
When Lin Mengya and the others arrived here, one of the concubines told a joke, which made everyone in the dormitory burst into laughter.
The lady straightened her expression, put on her usual soft smile again, and went inside the door.
"But it's an unlucky time for me to come. I didn't know that all the sisters are here to joke with the Queen. Sister, you won't blame me for coming here uninvited, right?"
There was no hint of tit-for-tat in the soft voice.
Lin Mengya turned her face slightly and looked at Mrs. Jingrou in front of her.
She said that Madam seemed to have something extra. Now it seemed that she had a little more fighting spirit.
The smile on her lips disappeared. In fact, with Madam Jingrou's mind, it would only take a matter of minutes to defeat these little shrimps in the harem.
But she was very curious, what happened to make Madam change so much
"Hmph, there are many people coming uninvited, and there is no shortage of you, my sister."
On the bed, the Queen, who was obviously in a good mood just now, turned down after seeing Mrs. Jingrou.
After saying this without any politeness, the atmosphere suddenly became cold.
However, Madam did not apologize immediately like before.
Instead, he calmly walked up to the queen with a warm smile on his face.
"Yes, since there is no shortage of a sister, I won't bother you."
The surrounding concubines all looked as if they had seen a ghost.
Seeing Mrs. Jingrou minding her own business, she sat closest to the Queen. They had not accepted this change for a while.
"What are you doing here?"
The Queen was the same as those people. She didn't get angry, but just asked in confusion.
"I came here, naturally, to see if my sister's illness is better. My sister has frightened her this time. Although there are a lot of things in the palace, my sister still has to take care of her body. From now on, those unimportant things will be taken care of. Please don’t trouble the queen and empress, do you understand?”
The last words were meant for the palace people.
For many years, the harem has been nominally in charge of Mrs. Jingrou.
But the queen, relying on her status, has to intervene in many things.
The madam had no choice but to let her go.
But now, Mrs. Jingrou's soft and yet prickly words made those palace people who were attached to the Queen feel a little uneasy in their hearts.
What on earth did Madam Jingrou eat today? How dare she treat the Queen and the Empress like this
"You're so brave! Come on, get her!"
Lying on the bed, the queen, who was extremely weak a moment ago, is now furious.
A pair of beautiful eyes stared at Liu Yuan, as if she wanted to eat Mrs. Jingrou.
Everyone was shocked, but no one dared to move.
Because Mrs. Jingrou stood up and glanced at them lightly with her always gentle eyes. The intimidation inside made the palace people who were about to move stop in their tracks.
"Sister, what are you talking about? In terms of rank, I am a noble lady of the first rank. What rank is my sister? Moreover, the king has an imperial edict for me to take charge of everything in the harem. My sister is kind-hearted and cannot bear the hard work of my sister, so I just took care of things for my sister. Unexpectedly, I got tired and sick. From now on, my sister will do everything by herself. The right way is not to let my sister worry and take good care of her health."
At this time, not only the queen was very angry, but also Lin Mengya looked surprised.
She used to think that Mrs. Jingrou was kind and gentle, but she didn't expect that when she spoke, her words were like daggers, and the daggers could kill people!
Everyone in the dormitory was sluggish.
Everyone was dumbfounded. No one thought that Mrs. Jingrou, who had never dared to contradict her, would actually hit the Queen's heart so hard when she spoke cruel words.
For some reason, no one dared to refute.
It seemed that the woman standing beside the bed with a gentle face was the most noble woman in the harem.
"Sister, I think you don't look good, so you should eat more ginseng and bird's nest to nourish yourself, so as not to make everyone worry again. Especially the priests who have been implicated by you."
‘Hiss—’ Everyone took a breath of air-conditioning. You must know that this matter is currently the most taboo for the Queen.
Yesterday, because a palace maid spread such gossip, the queen caught her and was immediately taken out and beaten half to death.
Now, Mrs. Jingrou said it without any hesitation, and she really turned her back completely.
"You have been serving me so well. If you need anything, just go to me and get it."
Domineering and calm, as if she was the mistress of the palace.
Everyone just bowed their heads and obeyed. Their eyes scanned for a week, but no one fell in her eyes, but everyone seemed to be scanned by those indifferent eyes.
