"Greetings to the Queen, and greetings to all the emperors."
Even now, there was never a trace of panic in Lin Mengya's eyes.
It was true that she was wearing the clothes, but it did not mean that she was guilty.
Several old clan relatives and uncles originally thought that they would see a crying niece-in-law, but they did not expect that the woman in front of them was elegant, beautiful and noble, and she really did not seem to be a person who had the intention to violate the rules.
"Get up, don't blame me. After all, the sacrificial ceremony is about going to the country and the country, and there is no room for sloppiness. These princes are highly respected and will not let you be wronged in the slightest."
Lin Mengya nodded, stepped aside, and waited for her resignation.
"Eunuch Huang, you said there is something wrong with Princess Yu's dress. What is the problem?"
As the leader, the queen naturally would not allow herself any chance of being exposed. Therefore, the subject of the question naturally became Eunuch Huang.
Eunuch Huang, who looked just and strict just now, immediately changed his expression and said
"Back to the Empress, it was the etiquette officer in charge of aromatherapy who discovered something was wrong with Princess Yu's dress. It was said that the phoenix on the dress was a seven-color phoenix, and the pattern that was supposed to be a peony had changed.
peony!"
Eunuch Huang's words made several people change their expressions.
The colorful phoenix wears peonies, which is a specification that only the queen can enjoy. Now, Princess Yu also has it on her dress. Isn't this treason?
Especially, at the Winter Solstice memorial ceremony, this is simply disobedient!
"You must have seen it right, this is a big deal, you must not wrongly accuse Princess Yu!"
King Chongshan, who had a beard, asked with wide eyes.
But Eunuch Huang immediately pushed the etiquette officer out. After the etiquette officer saluted, he immediately said
"I am convinced. I looked at it carefully. Although I don't understand it, the colorful phoenix on the princess's body is only purple in the eyes, and the pattern is indeed peony. I can't mistake it, Xianguan!"
The official's vow made Lin Mengya's situation more dangerous again.
Everyone looked at her suspiciously, but she acted like a normal person. She just smiled politely and accepted everyone's responsibilities.
Such a demeanor made the two princes immediately admire it.
"Well, we can't just listen to the nonsense of these two people about this matter. Princess Yu, this matter happened because of you, do you have anything to defend?"
King Lishan asked. Although he had a straight face, there was still a bit of reluctance in his eyes.
After all, this Princess Yu has extraordinary magnanimity, but she is just unlucky, otherwise, there would be no This is what happened.
Although they are idle princes, they still know more or less about the affairs in the palace.
Although there is nothing wrong with the Queen's personality in major matters, she is still a little less tolerant. Moreover, all the dresses are made by the Underwear Bureau. I'm afraid that Princess Yu was just accidentally caught.
It's just a calculation.
"What the courtesy officer said to Eunuch Huang just now——" Lin Mengya paused deliberately before speaking.
"They are all slanders against my concubine! Ever since they entered the palace gate, the two princes and their nephew and daughter-in-law have restrained themselves and reverted to etiquette, and they have never transgressed in the slightest. I never imagined that they would encounter such a person when they attended the Winter Solstice Ceremony for the first time.
This situation really chills my niece-in-law’s heart.”
Lin Mengya's categorical denial brought a slight sneer to the Queen's eyes.
She was not afraid that Lin Mengya would not admit it. Anyway, the evidence was conclusive, and Lin Mengya's denial at this moment could help her get rid of this thorn in her flesh more quickly.
"Empress, you have to make the decision for me! Although I am just a small ceremonial officer, I also know that the ancestral rituals cannot be invalidated. If my empress does not believe it, you can check it yourself!"
The official immediately knelt on the ground and spoke sharply.
The queen and the two princes looked at each other, and finally spoke quietly, saying
"That's right, this matter does need to be investigated carefully. We can't be unjust. Princess Yu, isn't it? Yun Sifu, you are an old man in the palace, and this dress was sewn by your own hands from the Shangfu Bureau.
, it’s safest for you to go and take a look.”
"Yes, Queen."
Upon hearing the sound, a well-dressed middle-aged woman came out from behind the queen.
Lin Mengya still sneered in her heart, she is such a queen, and all the ministers who are responsible for the clothes of the emperor and nobles are on the list. It seems that she is determined to give her a good look.
On the surface, Yun Sifu couldn't tell at all. After bowing, he respectfully walked in front of Lin Mengya and wanted to inspect it.
But Lin Mengya frowned and said coldly:
"Slow down! It's easy to say that you want to check my clothes. But if there is no overstep in my service, then what should I do, Queen?"
There was a trace of guilt in Lin Mengya's tone.
Therefore, the queen is even more certain that she is just making excuses for her crimes.
He looked at the two princes and followed
Several of the clan members present in front of him pondered for a moment before speaking.
"If it is really just the courtesy officer who made a mistake, then he must be punished and Princess Yu's name must be rectified."
What a shrewd calculation. Whether it is her fault or the fault of the etiquette officer, it has nothing to do with the queen, right?
But how could she, Lin Mengya, be willing to suffer the disadvantage of being dumb?
"No, as the daughter-in-law of the royal family, I should have visited the Ancestral Temple, but now, because of the murder of this thief, I cannot fulfill my filial piety. If you can restore my innocence, I hope the Queen will allow me to visit the Ancestral Temple.
I offer incense to my ancestors and pray for the peace and prosperity of my country, Jin Dynasty, and good weather. It is also my ancestors who appear to bless me and I will not be harmed by traitors. How do you feel about it?"
The queen raised her eyebrows slightly. She did not expect that Lin Mengya would actually make such a request.
It's just that what she keeps saying is the blessing of the ancestors and the manifestation of the ancestors. If she doesn't agree, it will make her look stingy.
"Okay, then I promise you. Yun Sifu, you have to take a good look at it."
He winked at Yun Sifu, who immediately looked like a microscope and wanted to zoom in inch by inch.
It's just that Lin Mengya is confident. Let alone Yun Sifu, she is not afraid even if two more people come!
The inspection continues silently.
But Yun Sifu's expression became more and more uneasy.
She looked at Phoenix's silence carefully, but to her surprise, she didn't see purple.
It is obviously black! You must know that black is not a color, so the dress worn by Princess Yu is actually a six-color phoenix, not the seven colors they designed before!
Then I looked at the blooming peony next to me. The more I looked at it, the more shocked I became. This was not the peony they had embroidered. It was obviously a beautiful peony.
What's going on? Why are everything different?!
"For the record, the Queen, the dress worn by Princess Yu is not from our Shangfu Bureau!"
After looking at it for a while, Yun Sifu came to this conclusion hesitantly.
The Queen snorted coldly. She thought Lin Mengya was so great and that she just followed the old path planned by her before.
"Princess Yu, changing your dress privately is a serious crime. You can plead guilty!"
But at this time, Lin Mengya was still unhurried and said with a slight smile.
"I heard that Yun Sifu is an old man from the Shangfu Bureau. The clothes I wear, no matter the materials, styles, or embroidery work, are all made by your Shangfu Bureau. You are slandering me with such empty teeth. Could it be that,
Do you have ulterior motives? Is it done?"
Cold sweat immediately dripped down Yun Sifu's face.
He lowered his head and did not dare to look into the Queen's eyes. This was different from what was agreed upon!
The fabric and style are indeed their craftsmanship. How could this thing have changed?
"Sir Yun, give me a closer look!"
When the queen saw her guilty look, she immediately became angry.
What a useless thing. I had been given the instructions a long time ago. Why am I so frightened now?
Is it possible that Lin Mengya can really conjure another thing out of thin air?
"Look, it's best to take a closer look. Yun Sifu, I heard that this pattern of six-colored phoenixes playing with peonies was created by you. Why, Sifu is so dim-sighted that he even recognizes his own creation.
Aren’t you going to get out?”
Lin Mengya's words were half threatening and half mocking, which almost made Yun Sifu weak in fear.
She trembled and reached deep into her hands, gently touching the eyes of the phoenix and the petals of the peony.
Originally, she thought there would be at least one reformed needle hole.
But she didn't even notice half of it. Could it be that she was a ghost?
His face turned completely pale in an instant. Impossible! This is simply impossible!
"I think it's already clear who is right and who is wrong, right? I'm a junior, so I have to ask the queen to decide this matter with several imperial uncles."
Lin Mengya knelt on the ground and said very sincerely.
The queen's face also became very ugly in an instant. It was not that she felt sorry for the person she had arranged for, but Lin Mengya's words put her on fire.
The heaven-sacrifice ceremony outside was almost finished. If she was asking Lin Mengya to go to the Ancestral Temple to worship, she would have suffered a big loss this time!
With a "pop", Li Guan and Yun Sifu also knelt on the ground, with a somewhat defeated and dead look between their brows.
If Lin Mengya was determined to pursue this matter, they would definitely not be able to escape.
Moreover, who is the Queen? She is ruthless and will not show mercy at all. However, when they did this, they had actually thought that this would be the outcome.
In the fight between the superiors, as subordinates, all they can do is keep secret.
"You guys, do you have anything else to say?"
The queen's eyes gradually turned cold, and she spoke condescendingly.
The two looked at each other, smiled miserably, and shook their heads together.
