Baili Wuchen took a deep breath. The cold snowy night almost hurt his heart and lungs.
One Eye looked at the gate of Ningqing Hall with some confusion. After a rare moment of hesitation, he pushed the door open and entered the courtyard.
Unlike the mess outside, the courtyard of Ningqing Palace was quiet, and the snow surface had not been trampled in any way.
Only a road about one foot wide was cleared, leading straight to the main hall.
"You guys wait here."
Leaving behind twelve elite soldiers, Baili Wuchen walked step by step towards the main hall of Ningqing Hall.
Before entering the house, I smelled the fragrance of plum blossoms.
Subconsciously looking for the source of the fragrance, I accidentally saw the red plum tree blooming proudly outside the window of the main hall.
I stood there in a daze. There were plum trees planted in most courtyards in Kyoto, but none of them were in full bloom at this time.
"Master Baili is so excited to stand here and enjoy the plum blossoms."
Suddenly, a joke came from behind him, and his body trembled slightly. Multiple emotions flashed through his eyes, and finally they turned into calm.
"I've met——Princess."
At the door of the main hall, Lin Mengya, wearing a fiery red fox fur cloak and a few smile lines at the corners of her mouth, stood looking at him at the door.
Hearing the title from Baili Wuchen, his brows only raised slightly.
She knew that Baili Wuchen had always been somewhat prejudiced against her, but now, he must have truly accepted her.
It can be regarded as, no acquaintance without fighting.
"No need to be polite, please come in."
I thought that the meeting between the two people would be more or less awkward.
After all, she once blinded Baili Wuchen's eyes with her own hands. No matter whether he and the prince really had a falling out at that time or they were just pretending to act.
It was her fault, and she would definitely not shirk it.
Following Lin Mengya into the main hall, there was no sweet warmth from incense in the room. Instead, there was a cool medicinal fragrance that made people sober after smelling it.
He knew that the princess had always been a very special woman, but this was the first time he smelled such medicinal fragrance.
The prince has always been a man with extremely precise vision.
"I have met the imperial concubine."
On the warm couch, the neatly dressed imperial concubine also looked at Baili Wuchen expectantly.
She knew that this young man was coming from outside and would bring news about her son.
"No need to be polite, just sit down."
Although the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not related by blood, they are both straightforward and do not stick to small details.
"What's the situation outside? Your Majesty, did you have anything to say to bring you in?"
Lin Mengya asked, Baili Wuchen was a little surprised. He thought that the princess would definitely ask if the prince was injured.
Seeing Baili Wuchen's appearance, Lin Mengya smiled lightly.
"That guy will definitely not be hurt, otherwise, he will just make me sad."
There are some things that she and Long Tianyu already have in mind, and no other words are needed to modify them.
Baili Wuchen calmed down and returned to business.
"I used the name of the prince to negotiate terms with those at the Yizheng Pavilion. They have already agreed that they will support the prince as emperor at a critical moment."
The Yizheng Pavilion, a place known only to a few members of the royal family, is the prince's last refuge.
The founding emperor of this dynasty came to power by force, and his descendants often experienced turmoil due to the change of throne.
Therefore, after a certain emperor ascended the throne because of the support of his family, he created a government cabinet.
The Yi Zheng Pavilion is composed of eight important ministers of the court. They have certain privileges and enjoy wealth and glory throughout their lives.
But at the same time, for families that just join the Yizheng Pavilion, although their descendants can inherit their positions, they must hide in the darkness and are not allowed to serve as officials in the court or join the army.
Moreover, their role is to ensure that the kingdom of Jin Dynasty does not fall into the hands of people with foreign surnames.
From her modern point of view, doing so is tantamount to raising a tiger and causing trouble.
But the emperor at that time probably wanted to transform them all into retainers of the Long family and become the most loyal bodyguard of the Long family.
In fact, the Yizhengge did this in the past.
But things changed over time, and the leader of this team changed several times.
Who can endure such dark days forever?
Therefore, they have already been ready to make a move, but they have never found a suitable opportunity.
"What's the price?"
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"The price is that after the prince ascends the throne, he will grant permission for his clan members under the age of twenty-five to join the court as officials."
Baili Wuchen and Lin Mengya had the same expression. That idiot was so eager for success that he didn't know that doing so was tantamount to draining the firepower.
This is the difference between the prince and the prince. One has been fascinated by the throne for a long time, while the other, no matter when and where, remains sober.
"What a good game of chess. It injects fresh blood into the court. You won't see much in a short time, but when these people grow up, they will be able to completely grasp the matters above the court.
These people are not ambitious
It’s a pity that it’s small, but its vision is not very good.”
When Lin Mengya heard this, she just sneered and shook her head. Those in the Yizheng Pavilion had probably been in the darkness for too long.
With a little bit of light, I feel like I can seize the opportunity and make a complete turnaround.
Extremely stupid!
"I'm afraid they don't know that even though His Majesty the Emperor who founded the Yizheng Pavilion valued them, he may not have left behind any backup. It's not good for any force to be too strong. Now it's time for them to reflect on it."
Baili Wuchen said nothing because he had already seen these things clearly.
Lin Mengya, on the other hand, just asked a few questions and stopped worrying about this issue.
"The prince asked you to come, he must be angry because of embarrassment?"
The next step is the key point. Her man is fighting desperately outside, and she can't just sit back and stay safely.
She wasn't good at leading troops in battles, but she didn't think it would be difficult for her to be a hostage.
"Yes, I suggested to the prince that I marry you by force on the day he ascends the throne. The prince readily agreed, and also wanted to use the imperial concubine as a prostitute. He intended to humiliate the prince in order to repay today's hatred."
Baili Wuchen is definitely a talent, and he can say these things so calmly.
But Lin Mengya and the imperial concubine are the most talented among talents. They were obviously insulting, but they didn't feel even the slightest bit angry after hearing them.
After all, who cares about a joke?
"Oh? So is he planning to marry me as his wife? Or is he planning to take me as his concubine? I guess she must be a noble concubine. Tsk, after all, my identity as Princess Rongan is there, so it's hard to completely offend me, right?
"
Lin Mengya smiled very gently, so tenderly that Baili Wuchen broke into cold sweat.
As a former member of the royal family, it was not that he had never heard of and even personally experienced the princess' methods.
It was also from that time that he made up his mind that in this life, he could mess with heaven, earth, and the prince, but he could never mess with the princess.
"Well, the prince is just wishful thinking."
To be honest, Baili Wuchen was somewhat looking forward to it.
After all, once the princess takes action herself, the prince will definitely die wonderfully.
"In that case, I will fulfill his spring and autumn dream. You can go back and tell him later that I agreed. As long as he can successfully ascend to the throne, I can marry him."
Lin Mengya's expression was not ferocious, but a bloodthirsty light flashed in her eyes.
In a sense, she and Long Tianyu are definitely the same person.
She thought that in modern society, she would choose to study medicine, probably because doctors are the only profession in the world that can cut people with a knife without having to pay legal responsibility.
< br> Of course, this is just a joke.
But Lin Mengya knew that she had never been a generous person.
When someone offends, insults or tramples on her hatred, she will definitely fight back personally and take revenge.
"Yes, I know. I will make arrangements now. I hope the princess will succeed."
The news about Baili Wuchen had been brought to him, and Lin Mengya's cooperation was something he expected.
The twelve Jingwei were called from outside and watched as they each placed their clothes and jewelry on the table in the main hall.
The familiar dress is like a red cloud.
When she first returned to this world, all she saw was this enchanting red.
At that time, she only wanted to protect herself, but now, she has already disturbed all living beings.
Fengguan Xiapei exudes a luxurious and noble temperament everywhere.
Lin Mengya didn't pay attention at first, but the imperial concubine who had been sitting aside took a closer look.
"Hey, this doesn't seem to be the rule for concubines, right?"
Isn’t it a concubine’s rule?
Lin Mengya then turned her attention back to the wedding dress. The phoenix crown was decorated with pearls and jade, but it was made of a nine-winged golden phoenix.
The collar and cuffs of the wedding dress were also made of authentic bright yellow.
This is clearly the queen's wedding dress!
"Yes, the prince personally prepared this for the princess. The prince said that he hopes to marry you again as a wife."
Baili Wuchen spoke slowly and leisurely at this time, while Lin Mengya's pink face was stained with a faint red.
"The prince is determined, and so are you."
He stretched out his fingers and gently touched the soft and smooth material of the wedding dress.
Her heart would always be moved beyond measure by him, and a warm current called happiness gradually flowed from her heart into her limbs.
She knew what he was thinking, and she understood his painstaking efforts.
To be a couple for life, this is the promise he made to her.
"In this case, that subordinate is lucky enough to live up to his command. Princess, I will resign."
Baili Wuchen bowed and left the Ningqing Hall completely.
Several women in the room, and even Concubine Dehui, had irresistible smiles on their lips.
"My mother-in-law made you laugh."
Lin Mengya never knew that she could be so thin-skinned.
In anger, she glared at her girl who had been spoiled to the point of being lawless, but she couldn't stop everyone from laughing.
I couldn't help but blame that reckless man. It was all his fault that I had become the object of everyone's ridicule.
