"Military generals are sent to the border, and in the process of killing, they can develop strategies and tactics. The defense of the capital is important, but more importantly, it requires scheming. As for the wise generals, they can be turned into a secret chess piece and infiltrated into Beppu's staff.
, you can not only understand the trends of others, but also gain insights, killing two birds with one stone."
Long Tianyu's heart suddenly moved. He had thought about all these and had already started planning.
However, he didn't expect that the person who understood what he was thinking best was Lin Mengya!
After pondering for a moment, Long Tianyu remembered that he had not even asked Lin Mengya about her safety after being kidnapped all night.
"Are you—are you tired?" After saying that, Long Tianyu felt a little strange.
In his life, he had never comforted anyone, not even a woman.
Suddenly, he became a little clumsy and tongue-tied.
"I'm fine. If the prince is tired, please rest first!"
Lin Mengya said with a hint of anger that she had been in danger all night for this dead man, and she came back without even a word of comfort.
It was also treated as a trick, otherwise, she wouldn't have tricked Baili Wuchen.
"I...that's not what I meant. Stay and have lunch with me."
Unexpectedly, an invitation was sent.
Lin Mengya nodded. Anyway, she was almost starving.
The two of them left the secret room and went to the study.
The aroma of the rice smells so tempting to you today.
Lin Mengya sat in front of the table, looking at the rich and sweet squirrel and mandarin fish, the light and delicious jade bamboo shoots and mushroom soup, and four or five other exquisite-looking dishes, her index fingers moved immediately.
"No wonder the prince asked the small kitchen to prepare so many dishes. It turns out that the princess also wants to eat here."
Butler Deng made a joke, but it made Lin Mengya's heart beat slightly.
Although he has deeply understood Long Tianyu's cold masculine personality, this small heart-warming gesture is particularly rare.
Lin Mengya ate happily. It turned out that she was hungry and everything she ate was delicious.
"Your Majesty, I have something to discuss with you."
Biting her chopsticks, Lin Mengya tried hard to look absolutely innocent.
Long Tianyu looked at her and raised his eyebrows slightly. Every time Lin Mengya showed such an expression, it was definitely not good.
"Tell me, is there anything else?"
Lin Mengya smiled and looked serious.
"Should it be time to make arrangements for the mother-in-law and the girl I brought back from the dental shop?" Lin Mengya seemed to mention it casually. In fact, she felt that it was a bit too empty with only a few of them living in the yard.
Empty.
"You can just make arrangements for the people you bring back."
Long Tianyu didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the inner house.
Since the palace has been handed over to Lin Mengya and his mother-in-law, it's up to them to do whatever they want.
"Okay, thank you, Your Majesty. I'm full. Please take your time."
Lin Mengya has always been a very realistic person. After getting Long Tianyu's permission, she put down her job and ran out.
Long Tianyu was the only one left on the table. For some reason, the same words didn't taste the same as before.
"Miss, do you really want to choose a maid again? Is there something that Bai Zhi did not do well that makes you dissatisfied?"
In the yard, the women and girls who had been brought back that day stood in two rows, waiting for her, the mistress, to inspect them.
"No, I think our room is too deserted. Besides, you take care of me and Xiaoyu by yourself. What will you do if you get exhausted?"
He patted the girl's hand and started to feel jealous before he could do anything else.
How could someone in her yard be so glass-hearted?
"Oh, that's fine. But from now on, the young lady's food and daily life will still have to be taken care of by a slave!"
After all, Bai Zhi is a child at heart, so a few words of coaxing is enough.
The mother-in-law and the maids in the courtyard were standing obediently.
The sun was shining brightly, and even after standing there for half an hour, I was already sweating profusely.
Lin Mengya sat at the door, squinting at the dwindling number of women and girls.
Only the ones left at the end can become the people in her yard. She also takes this opportunity to carefully observe the conduct of these people.
It's not just the person who stays by her side who can become her confidant.
Gradually, out of the thirty or so women and girls, only a dozen were left.
Lin Mengya whispered a few words and asked Aunt Jinyue to go out and lecture her.
"Those who just left will be rewarded with three pieces of silver each, a piece of coarse cloth, and two pounds of fresh meat, which will be considered as settlement expenses. Go to the accountant to receive the rest. Come to the house if the master wants to question you."
Unexpectedly, those who were eliminated would also have such a reward.
At that moment, I went to receive the reward happily.
The remaining dozen or so people, far from being disappointed, actually wanted to be in Lin Mengya's house.
More than a dozen people filed in. Lin Mengya was sitting behind a screen, with no real face visible.
"You also know that the Prince's Mansion is no different from ordinary homes, and my Liuxinyuan has more rules and troubles. Please tell me what skills you have."
Everyone just felt that the voice of the mistress was very young.
That day at the dental shop, when I saw her briefly, I knew she was a beautiful princess, but I didn't dare to look at her.
"Master asked you to reply. According to the rules, it is not considered a failure if you have to say something back to the master. I think you are all newcomers, so today you are not considered rude."
Although Aunt Jinyue is not very old, she has her own rules and regulations in the palace.
Seeing that the ladies and girls didn't dare to raise their heads, they reported their homes one by one in a polite and honest manner.
In fact, it is nothing more than the skills of some knitting queens, cooks and tailors.
Lin Mengya listened and asked Jinyue to take the exam.
After struggling all afternoon, it was only ten minutes after dinner that I brought two charming girls over to say hello.
"Greetings to the princess, these two girls, one is named Xiaowan and the other is Xiaoning. I saw that their hands and feet were neat and their appearance was upright, so I brought them over to show them to the master."
Lin Mengya looked at the two girls. The girl's name was Xiaowan. She had pretty features and looked like a calm and quiet person.
The one named Xiao Ning, on the other hand, had a pretty face and raised red phoenix eyes, showing shrewdness.
This is quite a character.
There can't be a bunch of little good sheep in her yard. There must be a strong one to avoid being bullied in the future.
"Greetings to the princess."
It was the first time for the two girls to enter such a high-class compound, so they were naturally a little nervous.
Kneeling on the ground, all you can see is a pair of small feet wearing shoes embroidered with golden silk and phoenix patterns.
Looking secretly, I saw a small face with a gentle smile.
Oh my God, how come this princess is smaller than they look?
"Everyone, get up. I don't have that many rules. As long as you are loyal and obedient in the future, I will not treat you badly."
There were smiles on their pretty faces, and looking at their shivering looks, Aunt Jinyue must have given them some advice.
Then she is the only one who can be this good person.
"Yes, Master."
Quietly and obediently stood in front of Lin Mengya, letting her look at her carefully.
"From now on, Xiaowan will be renamed Baiji, and Xiaoning will be renamed Baishao. They will both act as first-class maids and leave them to Aunt Jinyue*."
"Yes, thank you Master for the name."
The two little girls had smiles on their eyebrows and eyes.
Becoming a first-class girl in Liuxinyuan is a blessing obtained in the previous life.
Just when Aunt Jinyue was about to take the girls out, Butler Deng hurried to Liuxinyuan with a look on her face.
"Greetings to the princess, please inform the princess and the empress that someone has brought a child-giving Guanyin from the palace to you."
Queen?
That dignified, majestic, but scheming face came to her mind.
So good, why would you give her a Guanyin?
"Okay, Jinyue and Bai Zhi will go with me to meet him."
He nodded and led two people to follow Butler Deng out of the gate of Liuxinyuan.
Regardless of whether it is a conspiracy or not, the Queen cannot afford to offend easily.
"Your Majesty, you are so polite. On the orders of your Majesty, we are here to give you a statue of Guanyin."
The eunuch's neither yin nor yang voice sounded, and Lin Mengya immediately ordered Bai Zhi to take the mahogany box containing the Guanyin.
"Excuse me, father-in-law. It's so late and I have to go there myself."
The father-in-law naturally knew that his master was not at odds with the masters of the palace.
"Princess, you'd better open it and take a look first, so that I can go back and pay my dues."
Lin Mengya only felt that something was wrong, but it was indescribably weird.
Well, if there is anything wrong with this Guanyin, she can point it out on the spot.
As soon as I opened the mahogany box, I was immediately hit by the smell of sandalwood, which made me feel peaceful.
Although it is a statue of Guanyin, it is a lifelike one and is definitely not an ordinary one.
"Your Majesty, I've seen it. I can go back and pay my errands. I'll take my leave."
The eunuch hurried away immediately, fearing that if he stayed, he would be eaten alive.
"Master, what should I do with this Buddha statue?" For many years in the harem, the queen tried to harm the empress countless times, but in the end she was saved.
Therefore, Jin Yue didn't have a good impression of that man with a kind face and a cruel heart.
"Put it in my room first. I'll find an expert to take a look at it tomorrow. If nothing happens, I'll find a house to support it."
Lin Mengya looked at the mahogany box. Why did she always feel that something was wrong?
"Open your eyes, this is the Guanyin Goddess of Mercy given by the Queen!"
When Bai Zhi returned to the yard, she, Bai Ji and Bai Shao first placed the mahogany box in their hands.
Jinyue was busy going back to Yaxuan to report to Concubine De, and the two girls were left in Liuxinyuan.
None of the three people dared to touch Guanyin, so they had to put their three little heads together and chatter at Guanyin.
"As expected of a palace gadget, it's so exquisite!"
Bai Shao is the lively one, and Bai Zhi is the youngest. Within a short time, the two of them got to know each other.
