Empress Sun warned Xiao Chengyi and left with her people. Mu Yunan, Xiao Chengyi and Lin Luowei were the only ones left by Jinghu Lake.
Lin Luowei came over, bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you, Third Princess and the Regent."
At today's banquet, if the third princess hadn't stood up for her, she would have become a joke in everyone's eyes, and if the regent hadn't come forward to testify and tell the truth, she would not be able to escape suspicion.
These two people first saved her life and then helped her tide over the difficulties. They were truly her nobles.
Mu Yun'an helped her up and said, "It's just a little effort, but I believe that Miss Lin can save the day even without us."
Today, Lin Luowei's performance really surprised her.
When she met the queen, she was calm and calm, and her movements were as graceful as that of a lady. Especially the song "A Hundred Birds Pay Attendance to the Phoenix" shocked everyone.
This is definitely not something that a woman from the countryside can do.
Therefore, Mu Yun'an couldn't help but feel a little more suspicious.
Lin Luowei knew that Mu Yun Anxin had doubts, so she explained: "Luowei is indeed from the countryside, but she grew up in Lin'an Palace. She is proficient in palace etiquette. Fortunately, she learned some music, chess, calligraphy and painting under the guidance of His Highness King Qi.
That’s all.”
Mu Yun'an was stunned for a moment before he realized: "You and King Qi are old acquaintances?"
Lin Luowei nodded: "My mother worked as an embroiderer in the palace. I have been in and out of the palace since I was a child. I was fortunate enough to meet His Highness King Qi. However, King Qi did not know my life experience before. I was also in the palace when my mother was seriously ill.
I didn’t know until that time.”
"No wonder, you don't look like an ordinary country girl to me."
Mu Yun'an originally thought that Lin Luowei had some purpose in approaching them, but it seemed that she was overthinking it.
She suppressed her thoughts and said, "Lin Qingshuang made a fool of herself in front of everyone today. I'm afraid Mrs. Lin won't let you go. You have to be careful."
Lin Luowei also knew that there would be a storm waiting for her, but since she had chosen this path, she would not be afraid. She lowered her eyes and responded in a low voice: "Thank you, Third Princess, for your advice. I will be careful."
Although Mu Yun'an wanted to help her, it was a family matter of the Lin family after all, and if Lin Luowei wanted to gain a foothold in the capital, she would have to rely on herself.
There is no use relying on others.
After the matter was explained clearly, Lin Luowei took her maid Zhuer out of the palace first.
Mu Yun'an looked at her leaving figure and said to Xiao Chengyi: "I heard her say today that King Qi sent her to the palace, and I thought it was strange at first.
Unexpectedly, it turns out that the two of them are old acquaintances. Do you think the eldest lady of the Lin family will like King Qi?"
Don't blame her for overthinking, Lin Luowei and Xiao Qiyan are not much different in age, and they grew up together. It's not an exaggeration to say that they are childhood sweethearts.
Moreover, in Lin Luowei's words just now, she specifically mentioned that King Qi did not know her identity in advance. Wasn't it because she was afraid that it would cause trouble to King Qi?
If you don't care about someone, why would you think so much?
Xiao Chengyi glanced at her, but said nothing, turned around and walked away.
Mu Yunan: "..."
She trembled and said to herself, "Oh no, Xiao Chengyi is angry. It doesn't take much thinking to know that he must have believed what Lin Qingshuang said."
Could it be that he misunderstood again?
Mu Yun'an hurriedly ran a few steps to catch up: "Brother Yi, are you waiting for me?"
Xiao Chengyi ignored her. He walked in front, feeling very angry that this girl actually used him as bait to trick Lin Qingshuang into jumping into the lake.
Isn't she afraid that he will really save Lin Qingshuang and marry her?
