And for Lin Mengya, Imperial Concubine Dehui was the only person she could truly treat in this deep palace.
Not just because the imperial concubine is the mother of her beloved.
It's because the imperial concubine is the only one who really cares about her.
I heard that when Long Tianyu wanted to marry Feng's daughter, the imperial concubine was the first to refuse.
After a big fight with my son, I almost fainted from anger.
As for how it was resolved later, that is a secret between mother and son.
"The Imperial Concubine is about to arrive. Princess, please go out to greet her."
Last night, the imperial concubine sent someone to inform her that she was coming to visit today.
How could Lin Mengya dare to neglect her? She hurriedly ordered people to dress her up, and according to the custom of the imperial concubine when she was in the palace at that time, she cooked fragrant tea with a refreshing taste.
Not three moments later, the imperial concubine's sedan chair appeared at the gate of Ningqing Hall.
At this time, Lin Mengya had already swept the couch with her maids and chambermaids to welcome him.
"I have met the Imperial Concubine."
He saluted gracefully, even though he was wearing a firefox fur cloak, his little face was still red from the cold.
In the white snow scene, it is particularly lovely.
The imperial concubine in the sedan chair nodded slightly, but there was a hint of excitement in her beautiful eyes.
Lin Mengya immediately welcomed the people in, and after saying a few polite words, all the irrelevant people were kicked out.
Apart from the two of them, there was only the confidant maid in the house.
Lin Mengya immediately bowed down to Concubine Dehui with Bai Su's support.
"You kid, what are you doing? It's cold on the ground, be careful."
With no outsiders around, Princess Dehui finally showed a smile.
However, Lin Mengya insisted on kneeling down and offered a bowl of hot tea to the imperial concubine before sitting down.
"The daughter-in-law is unfilial, which makes her mother and concubine also worried."
One sentence made Concubine Dehui's eyes red.
"Good boy, I knew you were good. As you get older, you are no longer useful. You young people all want to do big things. I can't help you much, as long as I don't drag you down."
Imperial Concubine Dehui looked at her daughter-in-law lovingly and married into the royal family. She knew that from now on, there would be no true love.
But this child not only gave Yu'er a home, he was also a good child who understood the importance of friendship.
The friendship between her and His Majesty has long since disappeared.
So whenever anything happens to these two children, she will definitely support them.
"Where is the mother-in-law? If it weren't for you, the prince and I wouldn't be able to go as smoothly as possible. In fact, I have long wanted to go to the mother-in-law's palace to pay my respects. But now, I am not Lin Mengya before, but Lintian. Princess Rongan."
Lin Mengya's tone was full of helplessness, and she didn't want to show off.
Now that she has taken on this identity, she is destined to be Princess Rongan of Lintian Kingdom for the rest of her life, and will never be the eldest daughter of Hou Lin's hometown in Zhennan.
Even though a change in identity will bring a lot of benefits, who would want to live with someone else's name on their backs for the rest of their lives
"Oh, I can spare this matter. Don't worry, no one will know except me and your Aunt Jinyue."
After many months, Jin Yue was very excited when she saw Lin Mengya again.
Now she and Lin Mengya were both fallen from the world. The two of them looked at each other and said some words without saying anything.
"With my aunt by my side, the prince and I have nothing to worry about. Concubine, I'll keep the story short. As you know, there will be unrest in the palace. This time, the prince and I both need your help. help."
Holding the imperial concubine's hand, Lin Mengya lowered her voice, but it was very solemn.
How dare the imperial concubine be negligent? Although she is magnanimous and tolerant, it does not mean that she does not have the skills to fight in the harem.
On the contrary, years of living in the palace had already sharpened her political sense.
"That's what you say. You don't dare to say it elsewhere, but at least in this palace, no one can try to cover the sky with one hand."
The current Imperial Concubine Dehui definitely has the strength to say this.
Lin Mengya knew that with the help of the imperial concubine, everything would be much easier to handle.
"Then please invite Your Majesty to the Ningqing Palace in three days. I have prepared a banquet and hope that I can accompany you. Your Majesty will not be allowed to leave this palace at least until sunset."
Imperial Concubine Dehui was stunned, although she didn't know what this girl had in mind.
But inviting His Majesty to dinner is not something special.
He nodded immediately, chatted with Lin Mengya again, discussed some details, and then reluctantly left.
"We have the imperial concubine here, so we don't have to worry about His Majesty not coming."
Bai Su's tone was relaxed, but Lin Mengya's brows never relaxed.
Three days later, there was a fierce battle.
Emperor Jin Yuan finally felt that something was wrong, but firstly it was just some gossip, secondly, the country was indeed stable, and his sons were all in peace and contentment these days without causing any trouble.
Moreover, the Marquis of Fuyuan had presented the map of the twelve counties as Princess Rong'an's dowry one day before.
It is the long-cherished wish of every emperor to open up new territories.
But he took over twelve counties without a single blow. I think all the benefits of this peace negotiation have been taken by Jin.
Although he had doubts, the peace treaty book contained the jade seal of Emperor Lintian.
All this really happened.
However, he was not unaware of the turmoil within Lintian Kingdom.
They are so eager for success now, perhaps because they hope that Jin will not send troops in the next few years.
But the more eager Lintian Emperor was, the more he felt that Lintian's national power was empty, and now there was nothing more than a showpiece.
If he sends troops at this time, maybe he can merge Lintian into the territory of Jin.
At this time, Emperor Jin Yuan was so satisfied that he was even dreaming of impossible things.
But he didn't know that in Ning Qing Hall not far away, the woman he regarded as a pawn had already plotted against him.
Emperor Jin Yuan was in a good mood, so he did not doubt Lin Mengya's invitation.
In addition, with Emperor Dehui as his companion, Emperor Jin Yuan only treated it as an ordinary family banquet.
Several people were having a good time as guests and hosts, and Lin Mengya told a lot about Lintian Kingdom. Emperor Jin Yuan was also in his own thoughts and wanted to find out more about Lintian Kingdom from Lin Mengya's mouth.
Although both parties had their own thoughts, the scene was extremely harmonious.
"Your Majesty is indeed a hero. My father used to say that Your Majesty is the most powerful hero in the Jin Dynasty. Now it seems that this is indeed the case."
Lin Mengya, who was pouring wine for Emperor Jin Yuan, smiled and said softly.
But Emperor Jin Yuan frowned. Ever since he saw this girl again, she has never acknowledged her identity, whether overtly or covertly.
Now, what does this mean? "I didn't expect that even Marquis Fuyuan of Lintian Kingdom would know about my reputation, which is actually a good thing."
Pretending to be garlic! Lin Mengya secretly cursed.
But on the surface, everything was as usual, as if what she just said was just unconscious.
But Emperor Jin Yuan felt a little uneasy. The two women in front of him were his beloved concubine with whom he had been in love for many years, and the other was his personally selected daughter-in-law.
They would never harm him, not to mention there were many masters hidden around him.
Where does this sense of crisis come from
"Your Majesty, why don't you try the tea I brewed? It's made with fresh snow, and it's especially refreshing. The Imperial Concubine tasted it a few days ago and was full of praise."
The dishes were all taken away, and Lin Mengya personally brought a cup of tea.
Imperial Concubine Dehui also immediately praised it, as if Emperor Jin Yuan had missed something good if he didn't drink it.
By the time Lin Mengya ordered people to serve fruits and cakes again, it was already dark.
"It's getting late and I'm tired. My beloved, please come with me."
Under the light, the carefully decorated Concubine Dehui became even more beautiful and charming.
Even though she was no longer young, her mature and charming temperament stirred Emperor Jin Yuan's heart even more.
Speaking of which, he hadn't summoned her to bed for a long time.
After being married for many years, he knew the benefits of his beloved concubine.
A little tenderness overflowed from his heart, as if a cat had scratched his heart.
"Yes, I obey your order."
Imperial Concubine Dehui also understood His Majesty's hint and lowered her head coquettishly. She looked so shy that Lin Mengya felt blinded.
She and Bai Su turned their gazes to the window in unison.
This embarrassing feeling is really... It's hard to describe in words.
"Best regards, Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
It was already dark, and her goal was achieved.
Standing respectfully at the door to bid farewell to Emperor Jin Yuan and Imperial Concubine Dehui, the imperial concubine nodded gently. In the candlelight, the emerald tassel earrings beside her ears shimmered.
Lin Mengya just raised her head inadvertently and let out a sound of surprise.
"Is one of your empress's earrings missing?"
Imperial Concubine Dehui subconsciously touched her ears, and sure enough, only the one on the left was left.
He turned around and said softly.
"Your Majesty, please go ahead. I have lost something, so I must look for it."
Just now in the room, there were hot wine and hot tea, which made Emperor Jin Yuan very emotional.
Now that the cold wind blows outside, people have become more awake.
"Go ahead, it doesn't matter if you can't find it. It's just a gadget, I'll just reward you."
Tonight, he always felt that the imperial concubine was particularly gentle.
He is not stingy with women.
Moreover, this woman also gave birth to his favorite son.
If she is obedient, he will naturally be the most generous husband.
"How can that be done? This pair of earrings was picked out by your Majesty himself when I was celebrating my concubine's birthday last year. Besides, they may have been dropped in the main hall, and it won't take much time. My lord, please be careful when sending your Majesty back. Some. Your Majesty drank wine today, and the snowy night is slippery. Don’t fall."
Imperial Concubine Dehui's voice was soft and charming. She already had a beautiful face, and now her gentle smile reminded Emperor Jin Yuan of the scene when he first met her decades ago.
