Nodding, Lin Mengya still maintained a polite smile.
"Okay, keep staring."
"yes."
The men all went to the Prince's Qinwu Academy, and naturally there were projects that men liked.
Night fell quietly, and Lin Mengya did not prepare an ordinary dinner, but a buffet.
Whether it was drinks or food, she prepared them carefully. .??.
There are various varieties for self-use, and they match the theme of today’s masked quiz party.
As soon as it got dark, Lin Mengya asked someone to turn on the lamp.
During the day, the women also changed their clothes to avoid suspicion, and in small groups, they played with the chrysanthemums in the courtyard of Ryushin-in under the light.
"Ya'er, don't tell me, it's going to be a really different feeling when you look at the chrysanthemums."
Accompanied by Lin Mengya, Concubine De put on a lavender dress.
All girls who have not yet left the palace wear aqua-green and aqua-pink clothes.
If she is a lady from any family, she will wear lavender and light blue dresses.
The servants are also different.
Although it is difficult to tell who is coming, the seniority will not be confused.
"As long as my concubine likes it, let Aunt Jinyue accompany you to guess lantern riddles later. I heard from the prince that my concubine was the most talented woman in Kyoto back then."
Lin Mengya's words made Concubine De grin from ear to ear.
In addition, several familiar ladies also kept praising her son and daughter-in-law.
Concubine De's depressed mood finally recovered a lot.
"Princess, this servant is here to serve you. You can go about your business."
Jinyue supported Concubine De and gave Lin Mengya a reassuring look.
In this kind of situation, as a hostess, Lin Mengya still has a lot to do.
"Okay, thank you, auntie."
Lin Mengya quietly retreated, blended in with the crowd, and returned to her room.
"How is it going?"
From the very beginning of the buffet, Bai Su said that there were always people trying to fish in troubled waters and sneaking into the house.
If she hadn't arranged for people to be placed at the door of each room, Liuxinyuan would have been breached by now.
"Those people are either real or fake. We are not completely sure who is here to cause trouble."
Qinghu did not pretend to be a woman, but instead wore a black outfit, hiding in the darkness, and became the commander-in-chief of the entire bodyguard of Liuxinyuan tonight.
There is a cold look on his handsome face. These flies are simply too annoying.
Lin Mengya nodded, these were things she had never thought of.
It seems that Jiang Ruqin encouraged Concubine De to hold a chrysanthemum appreciation party because she really didn't care about drinking.
"Well, I understand. Since the other party wants to If you want to cause destruction, why don't we invite you to the urn?"
Lin Mengya smiled faintly, her evil smile like a little fox, but it made people's hair stand on end.
Liuxinyuan and Qinwuyuan have become a world of laughter at this moment.
As the night grew darker, these people let go of their former reserve, and even Concubine De seemed to have returned to the good old days of a young girl.
Lin Mengya was hiding in the crowd, and she hid the four girls in the house.
Firstly, it can prevent others from pretending to be someone else, and secondly, it can also avoid unnecessary trouble.
Hiding in the dark, Lin Mengya quietly observed the crowd.
Jiang Ruqin did not follow Concubine De. She made a small mark on some special people's clothes and masks that only she could understand.
It seems to be disorganized and randomly assigned.
But only she herself knows who is who.
Everything was going smoothly, but I don't know what happened. A burst of noise suddenly broke out from one side of Liuxinyuan.
Gradually, the crowd's attention was attracted over there.
Lin Mengya stood under the eaves, blending into the darkness.
"Sister, do you want to go and have a look?"
Lin Zhongyu's figure suddenly appeared behind Lin Mengya.
But she shook her head.
Now in the past, it would be bad if someone tampered with me.
"Let's wait a little longer. If something happens, someone will definitely come to report it."
Sure enough, as soon as Lin Mengya finished speaking, someone rushed over shouting.
"Someone comes quickly! Someone is killed! Someone comes quickly!"
It looks like she is a maid from some house.
Lin Mengya immediately rushed out and pushed aside the crowd.
Sure enough, lying on the ground was a woman who looked like she was suffering from epilepsy.
He was frothing at the mouth and his limbs were twitching.
Lin Mengya's eyes flashed with doubt, but she remained calm and shouted
"No, it's a convulsion. Quick, carry her to the house."
Several burly women immediately carried the woman and rushed into the house.
Many people looked in the direction of the woman with great concern.
"Please don't worry, it's just a common old problem. There will be an imperial doctor to diagnose and treat her. I'm sorry."
As the hostess, Lin Mengya naturally has to accompany her.
But even after she said that, others didn't take it seriously.
"I'll go take a look and let everyone enjoy themselves."
Lin Mengya also followed her into the small wing. As soon as she entered, she dismissed the women.
Qinghu and Lin Zhongyu also followed in, looking at the woman on the bed with different expressions.
"This doesn't seem to be a symptom of epilepsy, right?" ??
Qinghu, who was well-informed, looked at the woman who had gradually become quiet on the bed and said with some doubts.
Lin Mengya nodded, with a somewhat cold look in her eyes.
"It's a very simple allergic reaction to drugs. Look at her face, is it covered in little red dots?"
Qinghu reached out and unhooked the mask, and sure enough, the woman's face was covered with terrible red spots, like smallpox, with her eyes closed tightly.
"Then will she die?"
Lin Zhongyu was more concerned about this issue. If this woman died in Lin Mengya's yard, there would be many rumors about her.
Fortunately, Lin Mengya shook her head. Such allergic symptoms would only make people faint at most.
A trace of doubt passed through my mind. Looking at the situation, this person was also being taken advantage of unintentionally.
But what is the point of making such a fuss?
"You guys go out first, I'm going to find someone to come in and take care of her."
The two looked at each other, nodded, and quickly disappeared.
Lin Mengya composed herself and opened the door.
"Someone, please take good care of this lady. The imperial doctor will arrive soon."
Immediately, three or four maids and women came in response. Lin Mengya looked at the woman lying on the bed, her eyes thoughtful.
Hope, everything is just a coincidence.
Because of this little episode, the atmosphere in the courtyard was no longer as lively as it was just now.
Lin Mengya, the hostess, naturally needs to liven up the atmosphere.
"Everyone, something happened just now, which disturbed everyone's enjoyment. As I said, the winner of this guessing game will be rewarded. If not, I will take it out and reveal the treasure first."
As soon as Lin Mengya finished speaking, someone presented a very elegant brocade box.
She took the brocade box and opened the lid. A soft glow immediately appeared inside.
"Isn't this the luminous pearl that has been paid tribute by various countries for thousands of years? The princess actually used such a treasure as a lottery, what a generous act!"
Downstairs, there were people constantly breathing in the air-conditioning.
According to legend, the luminous pearl can not only shine at night. If you hold such a pearl in your mouth when you die, your body will not rot for thousands of years.
Coupled with the fact that the output is really scarce, it becomes even more precious.
"This is what Empress Dowager De Fei proposed to give to everyone. Everyone When I had the opportunity, I took a look at the crossword puzzles on the verandah. There were many puzzles that had not been guessed. Only those who had guessed the puzzles in their hands would count. But if they were taken down and could not be guessed, points would be deducted.
I hope everyone can get their favorite prizes.”
In addition to first place, Lin Mengya is also preparing for many commemorative awards.
Even the revolving lanterns painted with fairy tales are almost divided one by one.
The so-called banquet means that everyone has a share.
Everyone was surprised by Princess Yu's generosity and responded with very kind eyes to Concubine De's generosity.
"Concubine, do you think this is good?"
Concubine De nodded, Lin Mengya arranged it well.
All aspects were taken care of and everyone's enthusiasm was mobilized.
She just stood aside and watched, already smiling.
It's just a luminous pearl, nothing better than a night of fun.
"You girl, you are really getting better and better at being a good person. Just now I told your uncle that you, girl, are not an ordinary person."
Uncle? Lin Mengya suddenly remembered Concubine De’s natal family. It seemed that he was Jiang Ruqin’s father, right?
"Ah, I really deserve to die. I only remembered the difference between men and women, but I forgot to reunite my mother and concubine's family. Aunt Jinyue, go and ask uncle to come."
As the natal family of Concubine De, the Jiang family was not able to visit often.
Especially Jiang Ruqin's father, Jiang Feng, was unable to return to Beijing for a long time because he was a local official.
During this Mid-Autumn Festival, officials from other places also returned to Beijing to report on their duties, which led to this reunion.
"It's a good thing that you can arrange it so well, so that the guests and the host can have a good time. Besides, your uncle is not good at words, so let him have a good time there."
Empress Dowager De has refrained from paying homage to her rituals, and she has always avoided suspicion towards her relatives.
Although Lin Mengya nodded, she was planning in her heart to let Jiang Feng reunite with Concubine De in private.
But before she could think of a solution, the eunuch's high-pitched singing and shouting suddenly sounded outside.
"The Queen has arrived—His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived—"
Frowning, it’s the queen and the prince again. Why is this mother and son always haunted?
The empress and Concubine De are bitter enemies, and everyone in the palace knows it.
Therefore, the Queen would never come easily to Concubine De's banquet.
But now she is not only here, but also brought the prince. I am afraid she is here to disturb the situation.
Lin Mengya could clearly see that Concubine De's eyes showed a hint of disgust.
But because of the rules, she had to come and greet him in person.
"I, I would like to pay my respects to the Queen. I don't know that the Queen is here, but I didn't greet her personally. Please forgive me."
