"Oh? Then how do you think Qin'er can win Yu'er's heart?"
Concubine De turned around, looked at the little girl who came in from outside, raised her eyebrows and asked.
"What my cousin wants is for Prince Yu to cook with her. In this way, if the empress does justice, the position of the concubine will be in her pocket."
The little girl is slightly smaller than Jiang Ruqin. Although her face is a little round, her eyebrows are ordinary.
But those eyes were sparkling with shrewdness.
"Go on."
De Fei was very fashionable for this little girl and nodded for her to continue.
The little girl took her time and served Jiang Ruqin a cup of fragrant tea.
"That day, the story of my cousin sending clothes to the prince has already spread a lot in the house. The cousin can pretend to be shy, as if she really has something with the prince. People are talking about it. When the time comes,
, if the young lady wants to enter the mansion, it is not a matter of just a word from the empress."
The little girl always had a gentle smile on her face.
But the words she spat out were the most deadly poison in the world.
Jiang Ruqin and De Fei suddenly understood. That's right, that day, not to mention the people in the mansion, even Lin Mengya had misunderstood.
As long as she seizes this opportunity, her cousin will definitely be hers!
"Aunt, what do you think?"
Looking at Empress De Fei with aggrieved eyes, Jiang Ruqin tried her best to look harmless.
Concubine De thought for a while and finally nodded.
When she saw that Concubine De agreed, Jiang Ruqin almost jumped up.
"Thank you, aunt! Qin'er will definitely work hard to win my cousin's heart and make that woman disappear from Prince Yu's palace."
Jiang Ruqin was secretly happy. She seemed to have become a different person since her aunt came back from the palace.
He is no longer as close to Lin Mengya as a family, and he favors her even more.
This is how it should be, she is my aunt's natal family.
Lin Mengya is just a little bitch who usurped her position as princess.
"Aunt, I'm going to prepare it right now. What's your name, Liu'er? Let's see."
Liu'er immediately took out ten taels of silver from her sleeves and gave it to the little girl.
"Thank you for the reward, Miss Biao. I am a slave and a pariah, Yun Ruo."
Yun Ruo immediately took the money from Liu Er's hand respectfully, looking happy, which was very helpful to Jiang Ruqin.
This is how it should be. Compared to her birth, although she is a concubine, she is much nobler than those princesses and princesses.
Who is she, Lin Mengya, who dares to occupy her position?
"Well, let's go down."
Concubine De put down the flower scissors in her hand. At this moment, the beautiful flower branches in the pot had been cut into pieces.
Sitting back in his seat, there was a hint of worry in his eyes. worry.
"Will the medicine work?"
Yunruo immediately bowed and saluted and said
"Don't worry, Madam, this medicine is not incurable. Your Majesty doesn't want your cousin, but he may not want other women. There are so many girls in this house, so what if you raise a few aunts?"
Moreover, there was no news that Long Tianyu was unwell in Qinwu Academy.
Concubine De felt relieved and sat back in her seat.
"You insist on persuading me to make Ruqin my concubine. Is she really useful to our plan?"
Concubine De knew very well that Jiang Ruqin was a brainless person.
It's okay to show off one's power in the house and tease him, but if it comes to brains, even ten or eight Jiang Ruqins are no match for Lin Mengya.
"Now it seems that it is not very useful. I thought that at least this cousin could still have some brains. But I didn't expect that she turned out to be such a waste."
Yunruo stood next to Concubine De and massaged Concubine De's arms with appropriate strength.
"Well, you're right. This girl is really getting worse and worse. I've even used the Mihe Powder in the palace, but she's still useless."
In Concubine De's tone, she did not regard Jiang Ruqin as her niece at all.
It seems that it is just a tool.
Yun Ruo smiled, but her little hands did not stop.
"Don't worry, Madam, I have already chosen the candidate secretly. If that person becomes powerful, Lin Mengya will definitely be shocked."
Concubine De raised her eyebrows and looked at Yunruo with interest.
"Who is this guy?"
"Then the queen will know."
A hint of malice appeared on Yunruo's face, and the entire Yaxuan was filled with the sweet taste of conspiracy.
Lin Mengya took the girl out of Liuxinyuan and went to Yaxuan to say hello calmly.
Unexpectedly, when they came face to face, they met Jiang Ruqin.
"Hey, isn't this my cousin? My cousin is fine."
Jiang Ruqin looked particularly proud today.
Lin Mengya didn't want to hit her at first, but the girl's flamboyant look was really too annoying.
"Well, hello, cousin."
In the past, such a sentence about cousin would have been enough to make Jiang Ruqin jump up.
Unexpectedly, she just smiled coldly and left with her maid.
"Master, look, she's not honest anymore."
Bai Zhi raised her chin and said with some disdain.
"Really? But I always feel that today
There's something a little abnormal about Jiang Ruqin."
Out of her understanding of her opponent, Lin Mengya didn't think Jiang Ruqin would be honest so easily.
His eyes followed Jiang Ruqin's voice and disappeared around the corner.
A hen has learned not to show off the eggs she just laid. Who would believe this?
"Then let's go to Yaxuan to pay our respects?"
To be honest, Bai Zhi still has some feelings for Yaxuan.
After all, when Aunt Jinyue was alive, she often brought them to this yard for training.
Teach them etiquette and tell them how to advance and retreat.
Although people are gone now, I can see things and think about people, and I am still a little depressed to a certain extent.
"Go, of course I'm going."
Lin Mengya withdrew her gaze. How much ability can a person who can't even control his emotions have?
When the group arrived at Yaxuan, surprisingly, they did not encounter any obstruction.
"It's weird. When we came here in the past, there were always pushback from outside. Master, what do you think this concubine is holding back?"
Bai Shao frowned and said worriedly.
Lin Mengya was not worried at all, but straightened her back.
"If anything happens, I'll be there for you, don't worry."
The four girls looked at each other, and the worry in their eyes had indeed dissipated a lot.
As soon as they arrived at the main room, a little girl with a round face greeted Lin Mengya respectfully.
This girl doesn't seem to be from the house, she looks very nervous.
"Congratulations to the princess on her thousandth birthday. This servant is the newly purchased Yunruo. But unfortunately, the empress is taking a nap at the moment. Why don't you, Princess Ruoshan, wait a moment?"
No wonder she felt unfamiliar.
It's really not a big deal for the palace to buy a few girls.
"Okay, then I will wait here for my wife to wake up. You can go and do your work and don't worry about us."
"yes."
Yunruo learned the rules very well.
Concubine De has always had the habit of taking a nap, which lasted about half an hour each time.
Lin Mengya was not bored anyway, she just sat on the stone table at the door and looked at the plants and trees in the yard.
Empress Dowager De is no longer the same as before.
Lin Mengya must deal with it carefully in order to make herself invincible.
After waiting for a while, there was some movement inside.
"My queen is up, you come in and wait."
The little girl named Yun Ruo opened the curtain.
Several little girls who had been prepared long ago filed in.
Lin Mengya stood up from the chair, straightened her clothes slightly, and He stood in front of Concubine De's door in a polite manner.
It wasn't until the person in charge of washing had exited from inside that Lin Mengya was allowed to enter.
Compared with the inaccessibility of the past few days, being able to catch a glimpse from behind the bead curtain is already a big gift.
The beaded curtain was looming, and Lin Mengya felt that Concubine De had worked too hard recently, and her face had become much pale.
"Daughter-in-law, please pay your respects to Concubine De."
What is right is what is right, but there still needs to be respect.
Lin Mengya saluted honestly and without any mistakes.
"Well, get up."
A flat voice without any emotion.
Even Lin Mengya couldn't figure out what Concubine De was thinking right now.
"Because my daughter-in-law was ill a few days ago, I couldn't come to pay my respects to my queen. I hope my queen will forgive me."
Lin Mengya did not accuse or raise any questions.
Instead, he took all the faults on himself.
Concubine De picked up a cup of tea from the table, took a sip and said
"It doesn't matter, you young people always have your own arrangements. This old man like me doesn't need anyone to look after me."
His tone was full of dissatisfaction and cold detachment.
Lin Mengya still couldn't believe it. It was clear that Concubine De regarded her as her biological daughter.
How long has it taken for it to become so divided?
The human heart is indeed so cold.
"Your Majesty, your words are serious. It is your duty as a daughter-in-law to serve your Majesty."
Although Lin Mengya's tone was sincere, she didn't mean to apologize.
Presumably Concubine De also knew it well, so she just responded with a few words and let it go.
"My daughter-in-law is here this time to tell the queen about the winter solstice. Everything has been prepared, so the queen can rest assured."
The winter solstice is regarded as a major festival in the Jin Dynasty.
Although there will not be a banquet to celebrate, there will be a grand celebration from the royal family to the people.
As a member of the royal family, you must follow the emperor to the ancestral temple to worship heaven.
But the emperor is ill in bed now, so it is natural for the prince to go in his place.
As the emperor's adult princes, the prince and Prince Yu must definitely go.
As long as there is a prince and a queen, there will be no shortage of intrigues.
"Well, the winter solstice is a big event. You should prepare well and be sure not to make any mistakes and make people laugh."
"Yes, my daughter-in-law obeys the order."
Lin Mengya replied obediently and retreated from Yaxuan with others.
"Huh——, Aunt Jinyue is no longer here, and even Yaxuan is acting a little weird."
