Although she was banned, Lin Mengya was released sooner or later.
Even the imperial troops outside had withdrawn. It seemed that the queen and the prince had nothing to do with her.
Or maybe they are planning some new tricks.
There is no place in the mansion that Lin Mengya cannot go to.
The study, which no one except Long Tianyu could enter, was now accessible to her.
"Where is the prince?"
Long Tianyu was not in the study, which surprised Lin Mengya.
Every afternoon, Long Tianyu would handle matters in the study.
"When I got back to the princess, the prince was picked up by the seventh prince. He said he had important matters to deal with."
Butler Deng followed Lin Mengya and reported back.
"Well, I understand."
Long Qinghan hasn't been to the house in the past few days, so he must have been affected by this incident.
Lin Mengya didn't think much about it. She looked at every corner in the study room carefully.
"Your Majesty didn't say anything. Is there anything missing recently?"
Lin Mengya asked, Butler Deng thought hard, then shook his head and said.
"The things that the prince uses usually have a certain number. And no one can touch the things inside without the prince's order."
Butler Deng's answer made Lin Mengya nod.
Whether it's Long Tianyu's desk or the books in the study, they are completely in line with his usual habits.
Moreover, Long Tianyi is as meticulous as dust, and he probably won't miss any anomaly.
After looking around the study room, Lin Mengya didn't even miss the mouse hole in the corner.
After touching one side so carefully, I still found nothing.
If she were to hide something, where would she choose?
Lin Mengya raised her head and looked at the rafters.
Wang Hanlin is a civil servant, so he shouldn't know martial arts, right?
Long Tianyu must have thought the same way. There must have been no search there.
"Bai Su, go up and see if anyone has tampered with anything around the corner."
Bai Su nodded, lightly leaped, and flew up to the rafters.
A group of people just raised their heads and looked at the monkey-like figure writhing on the beam.
"Miss Bai Su's Qinggong is really good."
Anyone who knows the details about this group of weirdos in Lin Mengya's yard can't help but be a little curious.
Facing Butler Deng's praise, Lin Mengya felt a little proud.
"Fortunately, her martial arts ranks only third in our yard."
When it comes to martial arts, Qinghu is indeed the number one person in Liuxinyuan.
He hasn't appeared at night recently, but Lin Mengya knows that he He must be hiding somewhere.
Whenever someone threatens her life, Ye will come out to save her.
Xiaoyu's kung fu has improved rapidly under the careful training of those people.
From then on, her small yard became a wall of iron and steel.
"Master, there is something!"
Bai Su pulled down a small box from the beam.
"Master, I discovered this."
Lin Mengya took the box and opened it, revealing a small wax pill inside.
"Let's go back now. Remember, don't let anyone know about the discovery of this thing."
"yes."
The calm situation did not last long.
The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet finally arrived as scheduled.
As the legitimate Princess Yu, Lin Mengya must go to the palace with Concubine De on August 15th to attend the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet.
After lunch, Concubine De sent Aunt Jinyue to see Lin Mengya's preparations.
"Auntie, you haven't been here for a while."
As soon as he arrived at Liuxinyuan, Baiji immediately greeted him warmly and affectionately.
But today, Aunt Jinyue looked a little haggard, and her smile was a little forced.
"Well, the queen has been a little busy recently. By the way, is the princess ready?"
Bai Ji nodded, with a hint of embarrassment on his face.
"Auntie, you came just in time. We are all country girls. We don't know what the taboos are about attending palace banquets. We are in a dilemma right now."
Baiji's words are true. As the princess of Prince Yu, this is the first time Lin Mengya has attended a family banquet in the palace.
It is said to be a family dinner, but in fact, there are many more things that need to be taken into consideration.
Coupled with what happened a while ago, I'm afraid there are many people who are trying hard to cause trouble for Princess Yu.
In the room, Lin Mengya was made dizzy by several girls.
Isn’t it just a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet? Why is it so complicated?
"It's better not to bring this Qingluan and Phoenix Bu Yao. In my opinion, the peony hairpin in Bai Zhi's hand is really good."
A familiar voice came from behind.
Lin Mengya saw Aunt Jinyue's familiar smiling face in the bronze mirror.
"My aunt, you are finally here. If you don't come, I will be tortured to death by them."
Whether it is Long Tianyu or Lin Mengya, their relationship with Aunt Jinyue is not just that of master and servant.
"Let me do it. Speaking of which, this is also my fault. Girls don't know the rules in the palace. I will tell you about it in the future."
Skillfully, she held up Lin Mengya's black hair and looked at the mirror carefully, describing her delicate eyebrows.
But for some reason, Lin Mengya always felt that Aunt Jinyue today seemed different from usual.
Could it be that Concubine De has any difficulties in tonight's palace banquet?
"You guys go down and get ready first. I want to have a conversation with Aunt Jinyue."
The four girls all resigned, and only Jin Yue and Lin Mengya were left in the room.
"Auntie seems to be upset about something. You might as well tell me what she has to say. Maybe I can still help her."
Looking at the indigo between her eyebrows, she hesitated slightly, and finally placed it on the dressing table.
Jin Yue looked at Lin Mengya with a wry smile. The princess was too smart, and she could never hide her thoughts from her.
"There are some things that it is better for the princess not to know. If she did, I'm afraid it would only increase her worries."
Lin Mengya smiled, looking at the beautiful woman with red lips and white teeth in the mirror, and smiled sweetly.
"If Auntie doesn't want to talk, why would she show such a worried look? Auntie, with your intelligence and experience, how can you be like them and keep your worries on your eyebrows?"
Although, Lin Mengya and Jinyue have a relationship as if they are their own people.
But some things still need to be weighed again and again after all.
A trace of appreciation flashed in Jin Yue's eyes, and the sadness on her face also faded away.
In his hand, he inserted the last comb into Lin Mengya's hair.
A pure woman with a head full of pearls and jade, extremely beautiful.
"The princess is from the Lin family. I wonder if you have heard of the name of King Lingnan?"
King Lingnan? Lin Mengya thought about it for a while, as if she heard her father mention it.
This prince was the late emperor's favorite prince.
But it was also because of this kind of favor that the prince lost his qualification to inherit the throne.
Fortunately, King Lingnan and the Emperor have always been close to each other.
Therefore, even after the emperor ascended the throne, his love for his younger brother, King Lingnan, continued unabated.
"King Lingnan was a very handsome man in those days. The noble ladies in the capital also favored this prince. Among them, there was a lady from an aristocratic family who met and fell in love with King Lingnan. However,
Due to various reasons, in the end, the lovers did not get married."
Although Jinyue didn't say who it was, Lin Mengya could guess roughly.
I'm afraid this young lady from an aristocratic family is the one from Yaxuan. r> However, he had an affair with King Lingnan and was elected to the palace, where he was quite favored.
It seems that her mother-in-law must have been a troublesome beauty back then.
"If you have any concerns, aunt, you can tell me. Although Mengya is young and ignorant, she still knows what's appropriate."
Jin Yue paused, with a slight embarrassment on her face.
"The prince will also come to this palace banquet. As you know, the queen has always disliked the people in our palace. In the past, there were people who made a fuss about the prince and the empress at the family banquet. There is no difference between me and the servant.
I just hope that the princess can make preparations in advance."
To put it bluntly, the matter between Concubine De and King Lingnan was considered a scandal in the palace.
Normally it's fine, but for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, all the royal family and relatives have to attend.
I'm afraid this matter will be brought up again.
"It doesn't matter, I have my own countermeasures. Auntie, just rest assured. Thank you auntie for reminding me. I will definitely not let anyone underestimate our palace easily."
Making a fuss about this kind of thing seems like something a queen would do.
As long as King Lingnan and Concubine De are together for one day, this matter will not be easily forgotten.
I didn't expect that there would be so much trouble.
Before she had finished solving the problem, another letter came from Concubine De's side.
It’s really hard to guard against.
As dusk approached, one carriage after another came to the southwest corner of the palace gate.
Princes and princes entered the city gate on horseback. They walked to the Chonghua Gate inside and then walked to the Chun'en Hall where the banquet was held.
As for the princess and the concubines, after they got out of the carriage, they were carried to the gate of Chun'en Palace in a small vermilion sedan.
Ordinary relatives can only enter on foot after getting off the carriage.
The carriage of Concubine De and Lin Mengya attracted the attention of many people as soon as it arrived at the small gate of Xinnanjiao.
Concubine De not only brought Jin Yue and Jing Yue with her, but also followed behind her were four first-class palace maids.
Among all the female relatives, she stood out particularly well.
She was already tall, but now she wore a dark purple jacket with gold stripes, and the collar and cuffs were all made of purple fox fur.
Coupled with the jade crown on the head and the necklace made of east beads as big as the thumb, it is very noble.
He has a noble face, but with a polite and gentle smile. He is really noble and elegant, with countless manners.
"Hey, Sister De Fei is well. This must be Princess Yu. Look, she is really the best among people. After all, Sister De Fei is the lucky one."
As soon as I stood up, a woman wearing court dress came to say hello with a smile on her face.
