"What is this? It doesn't seem like the candy we have here. It's so sweet and delicious!"
There were still tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, but in the next second, Ning Qiu covered her mouth, smashing it with great pleasure.
Lin Mengya really admires her, she has the same foodie attributes as Bai Zhi.
Fortunately, when she was in poor health a few days ago, Long Tianyu and Qinghu would collect a lot of sweets to replenish themselves with energy.
Nowadays, she also puts this piece of candy casually in her pocket.
Unexpectedly, it would be put to such use.
"As long as you think it tastes good, Ning Qiu, I want to ask you something, is that okay?"
Maybe it was because of the friendship between this piece of candy, or maybe it was because Ning Qiu had a very good impression of this girl.
After hearing what the girl wanted to ask, she naturally nodded heavily, as if she knew what she was saying.
The sunshine in the side hall is just right, gentle and warm.
The interior decoration was calm and simple as she always liked. She took Ning Qiu and sat on the chair together, and began to collect the information she wanted to know.
"How long have you been with Madam?"
Ning Qiu thought for a while and answered abruptly.
"I have been following my lady for three years. My lady is a kind person, better than other masters in the palace. I am lucky to be able to follow my lady."
Also, although Ning Qiu is smart, she is a girl with a relatively simple personality.
If it weren't for Mrs. Jingrou, I'm afraid I would have suffered a lot.
"Then, do you often have to be bullied by those ladies? Just like today, the queen made you kneel down because of your remarks."
If someone asked this question, Ning Qiu would definitely not say a word more.
But if this girl is invited by His Highness the Prince to come back to help his wife, then she can be considered one of his own.
Ning Qiu lowered her voice and answered indignantly.
"Yes, it has been like this before. My wife has a good temper, so those ladies like to bully my wife. The eldest queen relies on her coming from a meritorious family, and she always yells at my wife. If it were my wife
If there is any negligence, she will get angry. However, she is not the most difficult to deal with. Although the Queen is powerful, she is not smart. These things are actually the instigation of Mrs. Hui. In the palace, except for the Queen
No one likes Mrs. Hui, and she doesn't want to think about it. It was my wife who brought her to the palace in the first place. Now that she has gained power, she comes to bully the old master. She is really a wolf-hearted person!"
Lin Mengya listened to Ning Qiu's words for a long time and came to a conclusion.
In the palace, the queen likes to target Mrs. Jingrou the most.
and The Madam Hui mentioned by Ning Qiu should be the queen's dog-headed military advisor.
In fact, when she talked to the queen at that time, she had already figured out the queen's temperament.
He is ruthless enough, but his brain is not very bright, so he allows people to become gunmen.
On the other hand, Mrs. Hui, according to Ning Qiu, seemed to have been Mrs. Jingrou's.
She had seen a lot of ruthless people, but it was quite rare for someone to instigate the queen and make things difficult for her old master.
A playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
This palace is really interesting.
"I'm new here and I don't know the rules in this palace. Why don't you tell me who is there in our palace. If I bump into someone, won't I be causing trouble for my wife?"
Lin Mengya asked three questions in a row, none of which asked anything particularly personal. Ning Qiu's guard against her relaxed a lot.
He clasped his fingers and explained to Lin Mengya.
Speaking of which, Lieyun Kingdom's harem is relatively clean and tidy, without the burden of the three palaces and six courtyards.
The so-called great queen is actually the first wife the king married when he was still a prince.
It's just that although the king ascended the throne and became king, he did not give the queen a title.
And the great queen gave birth to her eldest son, and her family was a family of outstanding meritorious deeds. She put pressure on the king every day, and finally she sealed the title of the unknown great queen.
It can be said that she is the official wife, but there is no seal. It can be said that she is not the official wife. In this palace, except for her, everyone else has honorific titles such as madam, beauty, etc., but after all, she is not as prominent as her.
Over the years, the so-called love between husband and wife has long since disappeared, and the queen is nothing more than a puppet in name only.
The only one left is Mrs. Jingrou of Fengyu Garden. Speaking of it, she is the most serious concubine.
Moreover, it is said that when the king married her, he used the ceremony of a head wife. I am afraid this is also the reason why the queen always finds trouble with Mrs. Jingrou.
There were several ladies who came down. In addition to Mrs. Hui, there were three other ladies with prominent backgrounds. However, although they followed the queen to help others, they did not dare to embarrass Mrs. Jingrou too much.
There is only one Mrs. Jing'an, whose title is the same as Mrs. Jingrou, and people are also friends with her.
It's just that Mrs. Jing'an likes to practice Qing Dynasty very much, and she will go to the Taoist temple outside the palace to practice cultivation if she has nothing to do.
The king is also very considerate of her
, when she was here in the past, even the queen had to make careful decisions.
The rest are just small characters. A few have given birth to princes, but their families are controlled by those aristocratic families. They are nothing more than puppets in the hands of others and cannot achieve anything.
After preliminary understanding of the situation, Lin Mengya also had some ideas in her mind.
The situation in this palace is really not very complicated. What is fatal is the fighting between the aristocratic families outside.
The former dynasty and the harem have always complemented each other and are difficult to separate. .??.
She heard Xiaoyu mention that his mother was from the prominent Xin family, but she was not a member of the Xin family. These relationships were really complicated.
Rubbing her eyebrows, Lin Mengya felt that if she wanted to completely quell the fight within the palace, the only way was to quell the fight outside the palace.
It's just that this thing can't be done overnight.
"Ah, it's already that time. Come with me, girl. It's time to eat."
Ning Qiu was startled and interrupted Lin Mengya's thoughts.
Looking at the girl's hurried back, Lin Mengya felt that there was still a long way to go before she could become the kind of steward Gong E who could make a difference in the palace.
Speaking of which, she really admired the ability to train those young girls to become the masters of the old ladies in the palace.
How much perseverance is required to suppress these lively natures?
Xiaoyu did not stay here for dinner, so she and Mrs. Jingrou were the only two people in the dormitory.
Mrs. Jingrou, who had changed into regular clothes, was still very beautiful, but with a little more tranquility and gentleness.
Lin Mengya thought to herself that maybe it was Madam Jingrou, with her extremely soft appearance and her extremely resolute temperament, who captured the heart of that monarch.
If she were a man, she would also like such a woman.
"Here, take a seat. Are you still used to staying in my side hall?"
It doesn't matter whether she is used to it or not, Lin Mengya has always been easy-going.
But this was someone's good intention, and she was too embarrassed to refute it, so she nodded in response.
"I heard from Yu'er that you treated him like a brother in the past. Your Majesty and I are very grateful to you. Without you, I'm afraid that child would have suffered more. So, just follow me here.
Just like family, don’t be polite to me.”
This is said with utmost sincerity.
Lin Mengya was used to seeing all kinds of hypocrisy, but now, Mrs. Jingrou seemed to express her sincere gratitude.
Lin Mengya was stunned for a moment. , I didn’t know how to respond, so I just smiled.
"In the past, when the king sent him away, I was reluctant to part with him in every possible way. I was afraid that my child would encounter some danger. Unexpectedly, he still encountered it. It's just that God had the eyes to let him meet you. Congratulations
Miss Lan, please accept my respect."
Madam Jingrou stood up and kneeled down to Lin Mengya.
Lin Mengya couldn't bear this. She immediately wanted to support Mrs. Jingrou, but she got out of the way and finally knelt in front of her.
"I know you are a kind-hearted girl, so you must accept this bow no matter what. The king and I will never forget the girl's great kindness, but if the girl wants to leave this royal city one day, I will definitely not
He will stop her even a little bit. So, you can rest assured that the girl is here. Neither I nor the king will use favors to embarrass the girl."
At first glance, these words seemed to drive Lin Mengya away.
But both of them knew the meaning of these words.
This Xiaoyu, what could he do with such a clever mind? Now that his mother has explained everything clearly, she feels a little at a loss as to what to do.
It was indeed because she understood Mrs. Jingrou's temperament that she acted like a radical just now.
In this case, even if Madam uses her, she will always be careful.
Now, this lady speaks so clearly that if she is saying anything, it actually seems that she is a little false.
Immediately, he helped Mrs. Jingrou, accepting her kindness and understanding her thoughts.
"Madam, you are serious. Xiaoyu and I are brothers and sisters. Naturally, I will not refuse his affairs. Now that I am here and have gained such trust from Madam, I will treat this place as my own home. Madam, please come quickly.
, if Xiaoyu knew about it, he would definitely blame me."
Madam Jingrou then got up, took Lin Mengya's hand, and sat at the edge of the table.
"Look at me, I'm not as good as before when I get older. Xiaoyu said that you were born in Jin country, so I specially asked someone to prepare some Jin country flavors for you. I don't know, are you used to it?"
On the dinner table, there are indeed many special dishes that are only available in Jin Dynasty.
It is enough to show that Mrs. Jingrou has her heart and is definitely not just talking about it.
Lin Mengya looked at it and said very sincerely.
"There is something that Madam probably doesn't know yet. My identity is a bit special. So, apart from you and me and Xiaoyu Ningqiu, I hope that not more people will know about it. Although my identity can bring a lot of trouble to Xiaoyu,
It may bring benefits, but it can also bring a lot of trouble, so if you ask Madam, just treat me as a woman from the Lieyun Kingdom with an ordinary background."
