Lin Xiaoyue bit open one end of the soaked willow branch. The scattered willow fibers were like a brush. She dipped some salt in it and gently brushed it on her teeth. After brushing, she took the water glass handed over by the maid.
I rinsed my mouth and spit out the remaining salt and water in my mouth.
"Okay, just leave the washbasin. You can help me get something to eat. I feel hungry."
But only one of the maids responded and left, while another stood there and said: "Girl, I will help you wash your face and comb your hair."
Lin Xiaoyue rolled her eyes in her heart. At this moment, she wanted to sing: Listen to me, thank you...
Since this trick doesn't work, I can only find another excuse!
Lin Xiaoyue decisively held down the maid's hand and said with a smile: "Oh, look at my memory. Please help me to ask for Brother Liang. Before he left yesterday, he said he had something to do with me today. I got up so late, Brother Liang
He must be anxious, go and invite him over quickly! I can just do it myself here."
Seeing Lin Xiaoyue's annoyed look, the maid put the basin on the shelf and said, "Don't worry, girl, I'll go and fetch you now!"
Lin Xiaoyue finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the maid walking out. She took the washbasin back to the space to remove her makeup and wash her face, and then put her makeup back on. After washing her face last night, she still put her makeup back on. It was really inconvenient to be outside. It took time.
Always be on guard against being discovered.
If she were the only woman in the valley, Brother Liang would have already gone out when she got up. When Brother Liang came back from work for lunch, she would have already packed herself up, she was so leisurely and carefree!
The golden nest and silver nest are not as good as her own straw nest. She wants to go back to the valley!
After taking the face wash out of the room, Lin Xiaoyue sat in front of the dressing table and combed her hair into a simple bun.
It just so happened that Liang Jingyao and her breakfast came over at the same time!
When Liang Jingyao heard the maid say that Lin Xiaoyue invited him over, he was so happy!
It was rare that Lin Xiaoyue took the initiative. He wanted to have more time alone, so he took the breakfast from the maid's hand, waved his hand and said, "You all, please leave!"
"yes!"
The maid responded and exited the room.
Liang Jingyao served a bowl of bird's nest porridge to Lin Xiaoyue, "Yue'er, drink the porridge quickly. It won't taste good when it gets cold."
Lin Xiaoyue scooped a spoonful and put it into her mouth. At first she thought the bird's nest porridge would be sweet, but she was a little afraid of it, but she didn't expect it to be salty porridge!
Although she doesn't resist sweets, she still likes salty foods for breakfast.
"Well, it tastes good! As expected, the eldest princess's palace can make a bowl of porridge so delicious."
Liang Jingyao chuckled and said: "Eat slowly, you must like us to stay longer."
Lin Xiaoyue immediately felt that the porridge in the bowl was not so fragrant. She put down the spoon and said: "I plan to go back to the valley today. I have been out for a long time and I feel like being hospitalized. And your status is not convenient for you to be here. The eldest princess is so kind to you.
, it would be bad if it affects the eldest princess."
Liang Jingyao nodded, it is indeed true!
"Okay then, I'll talk to the eldest princess during lunch. Is there anything else you want to buy in the capital? I'll ask Jin Heng to buy it all."
Lin Xiaoyue thought for a while and said: "I don't want anything, but if shopkeeper Yao goes out, it's best to help me inquire about the price of food."
The price of food?
Yue'er wants to trade grain again?
Liang Jingyao reminded: "Yue'er, buying and selling grain in our Dongsui country must be registered with the official. If the private transaction is discovered by the official, you will be jailed!"
Lin Xiaoyue knew that Liang Jingyao had misunderstood, and she explained: "I don't want to buy or sell food. Yesterday in the palace, Emperor Liang and the eldest princess discussed that there will be less food this year and it will be a big problem for the people to spend the winter. So I think you can keep an eye on the price of food.
Once there are grain merchants who drive up grain prices, you can point the finger at Emperor Liang, and then Emperor Liang's image in the hearts of the people will be greatly reduced!"
Liang Jingyao pinched Lin Xiaoyue's cheek and said proudly: "Yue'er is so smart! What should I do? I feel that I can't live without Yue'er more and more!"
Lin Xiaoyue wiped the big hand off her face, stood up with a blushing face and said: "You, if you keep talking nonsense, I will ignore you. I will go and play with the eldest princess!"
Liang Jingyao laughed and chased after her, shouting: "The eldest princess has entered the palace, I should accompany you!"
Enter the palace?
Emperor Liang didn't say anything yesterday. Could it be that something happened again?
Lin Xiaoyue stopped, turned around and asked: "I remember that King Jingnan was imprisoned in Tianlao yesterday, and then Jingyi was thrown out of the palace by the deposed princess. Is there anything else?"
Liang Jingyao couldn't hide the sadness on his face, "There is news from the palace that the Queen Mother is seriously ill. She has been several times. I think it will be difficult this winter! When I was a child, I often followed the eldest princess to play with the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother liked me very much.
Snacks are always prepared in advance. The year when we were driven out of the capital by Emperor Liang, the Queen Mother strongly opposed it, but Emperor Liang still insisted on going her own way. From that time on, the Queen Mother's health began to deteriorate year by year!"
Lin Xiaoyue sighed. Older people are most afraid of winter. If you survive it, you can live another year. Life is fair to everyone!
"Brother Liang, the Queen Mother is a kind and charitable person, so there will be no serious problems, and she will definitely be able to get through this." Lin Xiaoyue reassured her, thinking of Emperor Liang's actions and some dark thoughts over the years, she changed the subject: "That's what I said.
, The Queen Mother’s poor health started after you left. Brother Liang, have you checked whether there are any informants of Emperor Liang around the Queen Mother?”
Liang Jingyao shook his head and said: "It's useless. The eldest princess and I have checked. The people around the Queen Mother are all the Queen Mother's maids. These maids are all sincere and have served the Queen Mother for decades. Emperor Liang cannot bribe them!"
Lin Xiaoyue felt that sometimes, it was not him who became bad, but maybe his family members. If a fly cannot bite a seamless egg, there is always a way to find a breakthrough!
After all, Emperor Liang was the master of the palace. If he really wanted to recruit a few people for his own use, he might not be able to do so.
"Brother Liang, I think you can check all the maids and mothers inside and outside the Queen Mother's Palace, as well as the families of the eunuchs and guards. What do these people eat and use? Where do they live? Who do they come into contact with? Are there any sudden large amounts of income?
gambler?"
Liang Jingyao frowned. They really didn't check that carefully. If his family was really bribed, then even if this person died ten thousand times, it wouldn't be enough!
"Yue'er is really attentive! I'll have someone go check it out right away!"
Lin Xiaoyue smiled proudly and continued: "You can also check. If the Queen Mother is gone, who will benefit the most?"
After listening to Lin Xiaoyue's words, Liang Jingyao couldn't help but fell into deep thought. The one who would benefit the most was definitely Emperor Liang.
But if things didn't go as he wished back then, why would he need to attack the Queen Mother?
