Inside the Jin Imperial Palace, the Chaoyun Hall was filled with people whispering.
Concubine De was the emperor’s favorite concubine. After giving birth to the prince, she became a prominent figure, but she’d been closed out of palace life since the emperor got sick.
In the years following, her situation had only gone downhill. Now her son had married a fool.
Everyone in the Imperial Palace was waiting for a chance to laugh at her and her son.
A servant entered the hall to report that Prince Yu and his princess had already arrived. Even if they had been looking forward to a laugh, the people watching couldn’t help but worry about Concubine De.
If her son was humiliated, Concubine De might have no place left in the Imperial Palace.
"Your Majesty, Prince Yu and the princess are requesting an interview outside the hall."
"Bring them in."
"Yes, Miss."
Lin Mengya had been given no time to find her footing. She’d been pulled into a c
Lin Mengya was worried. She had specialized in medicine, but she knew a bit about history. This was a feudal dynasty. If she made a mistake, she would be beheaded.She glanced at Long Tianyu involuntarily. If she really did mess up, would he step in to save her?"The new princess brings tea to the empress and Concubine De."The prince’s eunuchs drew up the curtain. Following Long Tianyu, Lin Mengya entered the inner chamber.Entering the room, she caught a complex aroma. It was a blend of all kinds of flowers and plants. Paying careful attention to the scent’s nuances, she could identify at least ten different precious spices.So this was what it was like in a noble family where every detail was attended to. Even the spices used to scent the clothes were valuable.Standing respectfully beside Prince Yu, she saw eunuchs bring out a blue and white porcelain bowl.Its clear color showed it to be very fine craftsmanship, but seeing it, all the c
Princess Yu was very slim, wearing a large red moire brocade cover. Her posture and salute were like flowing cloud with no disrespect. She couldn't practice to such a degree in only a few years. Surprisingly, the fool of the Lin family had sound etiquette. "Good girl, raise your head and show me your face." The Empress's eyes were alight with a hint of coldness. Lin Mengya was chosen by Empress in person. Her words and behaviors were absurd and stupid. She should be the right person. A few time later, Concubine De would be the laughingstock of the Imperial Palace forever. "Yes." Lin Mengya slowly raised her head, holding her breath and folding her eyes, looking dignified and generous. They only saw an elfin face, and it turned out to be a stunning beauty! "Fizz-" Everyone couldn't help but breathe a mouthful of air, because the Lin's eldest daug
"Well, good girl, get up quickly." This gentle voice seemed not with many strong feelings; it was much more real than Empress's malicious tone. Lin Mengya raised her head gracefully. The woman sitting in front of her surprised her a little. Long Tianyu's good genes must have been inherited from his mother. The nearly perfect facial features, on Long Tianyu's face, were handsome as a god. But it was stunningly beautiful on Concubine De's face. The plain white skirt was only embroidered with light blue cloud pictures. Her black hair wore languid cloud bun with a hibiscus hairpin. She was nearly half a century old, even though Concubine De's face had a little loose, it added more charm to the maturity of women. She slightly frowned and looked sad, making people feel pity. Concubine De was really worried about her son. Otherwise, she would not look at Long Tianyu
She entered the palace today and got several useful messages. First, the Queen didn't like Concubine De very much, including Long Tianyu. Second, she was afraid that she would become the target of the Queen. Alas, she couldn't help sighing helplessly. No matter which one it was, it would be hard for her to be the princess. The concubines of all the palaces left one after another. Lin Mengya stood behind Long Tianyu with her head down, which showed that she was clever and quiet. Several concubines who were close to Concubine De either stayed secretly to give her a small gift or sent gifts by their maids. Lin Mengya noticed these actions but had to sigh with emotion. The people in the Imperial Palace were honorable and noble, but it was hard for her to imagine the open quarrels and secret wrangles between them. Concubine De was gentle and frail-looking and seemed to be at th
Since his old disease relapsed three years ago, his father hadn't left the Hall for three years. "Was my father still alive?" "Lord, the empress's things have been packed and we can leave the palace now." Long Tianyu turned around and saw Jinyue, the close-fitting maid who came into the palace with his mother since she married to the Emperor looking at him with a smile on her face. "Aunt Yue, thank you for accompanying my mother for so many years." "I, the handmaiden, was the dowry of the empress. I saw the empress struggle in the imperial harem for these years, and I did take pity on her. Since you have married, the empress can finally have a better life." Long Tianyu just nodded but didn't speak. There was too much conspiracy in the harem and the Queen was headstrong and the crown prince was jealous and suspicious. So, it might be a good way to take his mother to live with him.
Lin Mengya gradually calmed down in the shaking sedan chair. In the memory of the real Lin Mengya, the Marquis Zhennan family was a place where she experienced pain and happiness. Her father's love and brother's indulgence were the only fetters of this stupid girl. But whenever her father and brother who resisted enemies on the battlefield all year round left, it was the beginning of Lin Mengya's misery. The hypocritical stepmother and the vicious sister would torture the poor and innocent girl. In that case, she, Lin Mengya, who came back to life, should punish those evil people for what they deserved. Staring at her slender fingertips, Lin Mengya burst into a charming smile. So, she would start with punishing her younger sister who gave herself the poisonous dates. All the people in the Marquis Zhennan mansion were all busy dealing with the matters of the elder daughter'
"Madam and the second young lady, the first young lady and Prince already arrived outside the mansion." "What?" Lin Mengwu glanced with Shangguan Qing and they didn't think that Prince Yu comes here. Supposedly, he was fooled and married a fool as his wife. It was enough to make Long Tianyu rage, but unexpectedly, he should follow her to go back to the Lin family. What on earth would happen? "Come on, go out and welcome them." Shangguan Qing and Lin Mengwu immediately rushed out to greet them because people in Dadu all knew Long Tianyu's temper and they were scared of him. If they annoyed this man, the Queen could not be able to protect them. Lin Mengwu was even mad with joy because when she was six years old, she went to the palace with her mother for the banquet where she met the third Prince and she fell in love with him secretly. When she knew that the Queen chose the fool to be Pri
Lin Mengya just looked at the amiable Lin Mengwu with a calm smile. In Lin's mansion, Lin Mengwu always beat and scolded her stupid sister. Even when her sister was in the bridal sedan, she stuffed her with a handful of poisoned dates. Her malevolent intentions had been beyond what an unmarried young lady could do. Besides, from entering the door to now, Lin Mengwu's eyes had been glued to Long Tianyu. Was this an ancient version of a lure of sister-in-law? Unfortunately, Long Tianyu wasn't a stupid man they imagined. "Really? I miss my sister and mother very much as well." Lin Mengya forced a smile. It was really ironic. A person who wanted to kill her dared to say that they were missing her. They wished she could die in the bridal sedan. "Prince, welcome to our mansion. My mother has already prepared fragrant tea in the main courtyard, this way please." Lin Mengya almost
The wolves didn't come forward, but she heard the sound of leaves rubbing together.Looks like it was the head wolf.Lin Menya wasn't the least bit intimidated, but the head wolf's behavior was strange, it didn't make an attacking gesture.Instead"White!"The first rays of morning light blossomed and she saw the white pelt, hidden in the shadows.Heart racing, she embraced the huge figure that came hurtling at her.Unexpectedly, her little white, won!"You're really good, you came and singled out someone's boss, okay, a bit of my style!"The surprise made Lin Menya relax her entire body, but something wasn't quite right with Xiao Bai.After it plopped down on Lin Menya's body, it actually didn't move.Scared, she thought what was wrong and cleanly checked the wound for White.But what I didn't expect to hear first, was the little one's hoots and hollers.After half a day's messing around, Kohaku was exhau
"But, but we don't have silver, food and weapons, and how can we fight against those people with these 2,000 people and more?"Nie Qing stuttered a bit, he had been to the battlefield, naturally he knew that these things were not a matter of having many people."These, I have my own ways. But right now, it's a perfect time to sharpen. After dawn, the guards stationed inside and outside of Kanakura City will definitely search the mountain. If utilized properly, these two thousand or so people will become the heart of Jin Cang City. At that time, we'll eat away at these people's power little by little."An extremely large plan formed in her mind.Though she knew that there was no rush, right now, it was sort of the only way to house the two thousand or so people."You mean, let us occupy the mountain as king? That won't work, in case if the Wei people slow down and concentrate their forces on attacking us, how can we defend ourselves with just these two t
The one who spoke, was not very tall, and had only suffered a little because he was a prisoner of war.But in the end, after the army, baptized by war, the essence is still good.And, he's probably the superior of those five.The five men stood behind him out of habit, not saying a word.Lin Menya glanced at the man and couldn't help but light up.His eyes were clear and godly, with only the undaunted defiance of a soldier, without half the slipperiness and accidents of a soldier's oil, only a good soldier.The heart, too, is in the right place."In a while, let's go into the mountains and hide for a while first, with so many people, there's always a need for laws and rules. Since you've been in the army, I'd like to ask you to do these things, is that okay?"The man didn't realize that the GodEmperor was actually going to entrust him with such a thing.At once, the flame of grandeur in the man's heart was ignited.He looke
She quietly picked up the raw meat and practically crawled her way to the man's back, getting closer and closer to the man as she practically held her breath.Suddenly, the man turned his head around in a flash as if he had sensed something.Lin Mengya didn't care about anything else, the raw meat in her hand that was dipped in anesthetic, gagged the man's mouth at once.The man, shocked and angry, tries to escape.But she didn't know where the strength came from, both hands wrapped around the man's neck and tightly stuffed the large chunk of raw meat in the head of the man's mouth, refusing to part.The man, of course, was much stronger than she was, and only panicked for a moment before using his hand to tug at the flesh around his mouth.Lin Mengya was in a hurry and kneed the man in one of the acupoints on his waist.The blow was so steady and hard that the man lost a lot of strength at once, and her hand, never left the raw flesh.
Looking at the lock that was half a pound heavy, Gong Ping sighed.In fact, to this day, he didn't know who this fuss was really about.But looking at Missy's distraught look, he didn't dare to ask more.All I know is that what the lady is looking for is a large metal cage."Let's find it first, and be careful this time before someone sees us."Locked warehouses are usually guarded.This is the boundary of Kanakura Harbor, and those who are in charge of the patrol are also from Kanakura Harbor.These are the crew members who work on the ship and make their rounds on weekdays when they have nothing else to do.Lin Menya and Gong Ping dodged a group of people by virtue of their skinny bodies.But soon they were lost in the midst of dodging."How much longer do we have to look, miss?"The two crouched in the corner, Lin Moya's eyes, tightly focused on a crew that had just disappeared.Just now, they were so close t
If the nominal Gong Ya was still here, then she could have arrogantly and incomparably fought the auction with the intention of competing with the other party.But on the contrary, she couldn't easily reveal her identity.If one Lin Mengmai wasn't enough of a warning, then adding another Zhu Yan made the problem much more obvious.Lin Mengya was also thinking of a countermeasure, if it really didn't work, she would repeat her trick and use the same trick that Bai Su had used earlier to muddle through.But now that she was unprepared, it would be bad to reveal anything instead.However, the bidding didn't quite end there.Once they heard the Mu family bidding, the general public wouldn't dare to follow them.But there were still one or two, who felt that the teenager and the beast were strange, and had the guts to call for a price.Soon, the price climbed to six thousand taels.Those few families had subsided, the expensive price
But the third auction, however, made every Gong family member's heart feel a bit clogged.Because on the list, there were three dozen people from the Gong family that were being auctioned off as house slaves.Those people are the deepest hidden scars of the Gong family.From the moment the five sons of the Gong family entered, the atmosphere was, well, somewhat oppressive."My lord, the people sent by the lady have arrived."Gong Yang was still guarding the outside, but he led in a boy who was dressed, all ordinary."You go down."Gong Si waved his hand, allowing Gong Yang to leave.Turning, he asked in a low voice."What did Missy tell you to pass on?"The boy hung his head low, but pursed his lips and smiled."Missy said to spend the silver as she pleases and smash whoever she sees as disagreeable."Gong Si smiled along with him, but reached out and pulled the boy in front of a few other brothers."See,
"Hiss, why are you guys so heavy handed, trying to strangle me? Get out!"Lin Mengya yelled at the two female slaves in disgust, and the two immediately fell to their knees, trembling."Who are you playing pathetic and condescending like that for? If it weren't for me, you'd probably be dead!"She continued to curse, and Gong Si just couldn't stand it and ordered them to be taken out."Miyaya, how could you?""Why can't I be like this? Don't forget who's the head of the family!"Before the two slave girls went out, they heard an argument coming from inside.As slaves, they had to hang their heads lower to save themselves from the waves.How could the two of them know that since they went out, the atmosphere in the box had changed all of a sudden."Go on, keep an eye on them."Gong Si casually beckoned an attendant and softly commanded, the place where his line of sight fell, right where it should be, was the direction where
"I'm used to being at home. I went out in a hurry this time and didn't bring a few satisfactory maids with me. I see that on the list for today's auction, there are female slaves trained by the Rong family. I would like to ask Mr. Lu to ask for a few in advance, do you think it's okay?"Though she played it in the name of consultation, her tone was unquestionable.Lu Feng hesitated slightly, and she immediately pulled a face."I have let you earn a lot of silver, right, so a little request can not be done, you this business ah, do not often."She was not polite in the slightest, and her voice was not small enough to be heard by anyone around her.Gongbin frowned, not the least bit displeased that she was being so capricious.He was just about to open his mouth, but he was pulled back by Gong San."Big brother, little sister is a girl after all, delicate and weak, she should also find someone to serve her. How about this, Mr. Lu, these female
