Lin Mengya suddenly came up with an idea and smirked.

“Yeah, Tian Ning has a way. When my brother and I were young, I always went out with Tian Ning. Speaking of which, Tian Ning is in his twenties, so he should get married. Why don’t you ask Aunt Bai to find a suitable wife for him?”

As soon as Lin Mengya said this, Baiji’s face changed.

She bit her lips and her face darkened.

Seeing this girl still refused to admit it, Lin Mengya couldn’t help but add some fuel.

“I thought about it, the girls outside are unreliable after all. Why don’t we choose one for him from the house? I think Baishao is pretty good, and she is beautiful and vigorous. It just happens she complements Tian Ning in character. What do you think?”

Baiji thought Lin Mengya thought so, and she looked upset.

However, she had always been a meek and graceful girl. She obeyed the Master to the letter. Therefore, although she felt upset, she nodded.

“What Master said… must be the right. Baishao is naturally blessed to have such a good husband.”

Seeing the girl behind her in despair, Lin Mengya decided not to tease her anymore.

She shook her head and grabbed Baiji’s hand.

“Silly girl, how could I not know your thought? That is your lifelong happiness. Is my word more important than your lifelong happiness?”

Lin Mengya made it clear, but Baiji blushed.

She was not good at words, and she had always stayed around to organize everything the Master needed.

She was not as capable as Baishao, nor as cute as Baizhi who had grown up with the Master. Even more, because of Lin Mengya’s help to her family, she had already regarded serving the Master as her lifelong expectation.

As for the strange relationship between men and women, it was not as important as repaying Lin Mengya’s kindness for her.

Such a loyal Baiji made Lin Mengya feel sorry.

“I told you a long time ago that I didn’t treat you as subordinates, but as my sisters. Therefore, if you have someone you like and others don’t know, you naturally don’t have to hide it from me. Ms. Tian is my nanny and Tian Ning is also a knowledgeable man. If you like him, how about I help you and test his mind tomorrow?”

Baiji flushed, but did not refuse.

Her eyes were full of the yearning for love. First love was naturally the most beautiful.

Lin Mengya didn’t tease her anymore, because Baiji was a shy girl.

Tian Ning could be a good husband, and Baiji had a gentle and demure personality. Although she was capable, Lin Mengya was afraid that Baiji would be bullied after she got married.

Regardless of her selfishness or other emotions, Baiji could take care of everything by her side in the future.

The two girls chatted more, and Lin Mengya naturally asked about the situation at Art Courtyard.

Baiji was careful, so she knew everything in the house well, so she reported it to Lin Mengya in detail.

“Staying in the Art Courtyard is naturally her best choice. But we don’t have to worry. As soon as the prince comes back with me, she will definitely not stop. Tell others to pay more attention these days. Anything passed in must be checked carefully. Even the bread must be broken and checked.”

Lin Mengya was not stupid. Since Long Tianyu knew where his mother was now, with his temperament, he naturally refused to let Concubine De suffer any more.

However, the empress was bold enough to have detained Concubine De and found someone to pretend to be her. She must have a plan.

Now as long as Concubine De was in the hands of the empress, whether it was the emperor or Long Tianyu, they would have to act more careful not to offend her.

In this case, Long Tianyu would find a way to rescue Concubine De.

Therefore, the counterfeit who was imprisoned by her in the Art Courtyard would become the best tool.

After a good night’s sleep, Lin Mengya restored her previous radiance the next day.

Even the well-rested Long Tianyu was full of spirits as usual.

The couple had already come up with a plan for how to rescue Concubine De.

However, the main character in the plan was not Long Tianyu, but Lin Mengya, the daughter-in-law who was rumored to have won the favor of the emperor.

Early in the morning, Long Tianyu sent someone to the palace to ask for the royal permission. He said that Lin Mengya was going to go to the palace to personally pay respects to the emperor with Concubine De.

Although it was a little abrupt, it made much sense. After all, the two had just returned from the treatment of the plague in Yun State, so naturally they had to go together and explain the situation to the emperor.

So, just after lunch, His Majesty’s written permission to allow them to go to the palace to pay respects to him arrived at Prince Yu’s Mansion.

It was so fast, which showed how much the emperor adored ​​his daughter-in-law.

After some dressing up, Lin Mengya and Concubine De were put on the carriage to the palace.

The four girls in Liuxin Courtyard went to the palace with Lin Mengya, which was rare.

Apart from Hongyu, the other three girls all had the experience of going to the palace.

Hongyu also caught up with the rules of the palace. She was clever enough to pick it up quickly. Even Baizhi exclaimed whether Hongyu had lived in the palace before.

“You have a lot to learn from Hongyu. Especially Baizhi, if you don’t behave, I doubt any man would want you. Be careful not to be an old maid for a lifetime, because I won’t support you.”

Lin Mengya had been resting with closed eyes, but she hadn’t missed the four girls’ conversation at all.

Baizhi immediately looked at her, aggrieved. She pouted her mouth as if she had suffered a great grievance.

“Stop teasing her. Baizhi is so innocent, and she will definitely find a good husband. Don’t be sad. Master is joking with you. Besides, when Master came back, she brought you a big bag of snacks. I looked at them, and they were enough to feed the mice in your room for a winter!”

Hongyu smiled and mediated between the girls. Baizhi was about the same age as her younger sister, but she was much better behaved than Su Mei. Therefore, she also subconsciously wanted to protect such an innocent girl.

Lin Mengya read her mind, but she didn’t say anything. Everyone had their secrets and things they cared about. Hongyu’s conduct showed that she had found something to live for, which was great.

“Okay, back to business. Baishao, have you arranged it properly?”

The subject changed. Baishao immediately stopped smiling and nodded solemnly to confirm it.

“Master, don’t worry. I have already arranged it. No one can find out anything wrong.”

Lin Mengya nodded slightly, but she suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the carriage in front.

No matter how cunning her opponent was, she would fall into her well-designed trap. If it went well, Concubine De would soon return again.

The palace was magnificent as usual. But this time, Lin Mengya only felt depressed.

Everyone who lived here actively or passively would have been trapped in the vortex of fighting for rights.

She didn’t want to be one of them, but for various reasons, she couldn’t escape.

The moment she walked into the scarlet gate, she suddenly thought of something.

If Long Tianyu became the emperor one day, was she ready to spend her long life in this square palace?

She was shocked by the idea, but there was no final answer.

With complex thoughts, Lin Mengya still sat in the stable carriage and went deeper into the place that everyone was looking forward to.

They arrived at the Zhuque Gate, and then changed to a soft sedan. After traveling for a long time, they arrived at the Winter Warm Room where the emperor usually cultivated himself.

Today, there was no longer any dispute about the abolition of the Crown Prince here. It was just a father waiting to welcome his son and daughter-in-law.

“Here arrive Concubine De—Prince Yu, Concubine Prince Yu—”

They had just gotten off the sedan when the announcement of the royal servant rang through the Winter Warm Room.

Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu were standing side by side. They were quite an eye-catching beautiful couple.

But Concubine De got out of the sedan with t hesitation in her eyes.

“Mother, let’s go and pay respects.”

Lin Mengya showed a polite and gentle smile, but she never took her eyes off Concubine De, as if she was sure that Concubine De would not be able to make any trouble in the palace.

“Hmph, I know. Do I need an outsider to remind me!”

Concubine De looked angry, which amused Lin Mengya.

Today was her death date. She would see how arrogant she could be later.

Concubine De was walking in front, and the couple followed her.

This was Lin Mengya’s first visit to the Winter Warm Room where the emperor usually lived.

The royal servants raised the bead curtain. Lin Mengya lowered her head slightly and walked inside. The floor tiles painted with auspicious cloud patterns rendered the inner room a fairyland.

As soon as they entered the room, they found a faint scent fluttering in the air.

In the huge inner room, a four-legged bronze censer with dragon patterns revealed the majesty and grace unique to the royal family.

Lin Mengya was about to take another look at it when she was pulled by Long Tianyu to salute.

“Your Majesty, may your empire boundless, prosperous and peaceful.”

As a beginner, she had become accustomed to the red tape in the palace in these days.

Her posture was as elegant as any other princess who had grown up in the palace.

Concubine De also followed the rules, but she clearly didn’t have the grace of the real Concubine De.

The other three people in the room shared the same tacit understanding in their hearts.

At this moment, this counterfeit was still in the dark. She didn’t know that everything about her had been seen through.
