"Princess, you..." Jinyue was hesitant as if she had sothing to say.
But her master and the servants in the room were imrsed in the joy of becoming a nouveau riche.
Jinyue smiled and shook her head, then stepped back and gently closed the door of the room. Her behavior was indecorous. The prince was very good to her, despite that he did not show his love.
These were the private affair between this couple.
She thought that it would not be long before Concubine De beca a grandmother!
Although Lin ngya just beca the princess, she was the real master of the mansion.
Deng Yun, the majordomo of Prince Yu’s Mansion, took 300 taels of silver and sent them to Qinglan Courtyard in person.
"Respects to Princess. Princess, healthy and happy all the years round." Deng Yun was in his fifties. He was of dium height and always serious.
This man was the confidant of Long Tianhao. He used to be a military cadre in the army. Therefore, he was a bit of a martinet.
He spoke with dignity and etiquette even if he was facing his real master.
"Please stand up quickly. We are family and you don’t need to stand on ceremony. Co on, prepare a seat for him."
In the warm room, Lin ngya sat on the soft couch and she was only wearing a white suit. Jinyue and Ruyue stood on her left while Lin Zhongyu sat on her right.
"Thank you, Princess. I was busy with the prince’s wedding ceremony, so your monthly paynt was delayed. I hope you can forgive ."
Ruyue brought a square stool and Steward Deng sat down. He found that the lady of the house was still weak, but it was clear that she possessed great beauty.
She had a warm smile on her beautiful face. It seed that she was just an ordinary lady.
"Never mind. But I’m newly married, so can you please tell sothing about the conditions of our mansion?"
Lin ngya was not stupid. If she wanted to make Prince Yu’s Mansion as the headquarter, she must get all the information.
Steward Deng thought for a while and then told her the details of Prince Yu’s Mansion.
There were three housekeepers in the mansion while Deng Yun was the head of them. He was in charge of all the affairs, both of the inner court and the outer court.
There was also an inner court housekeeper Wang Ming, an outer court housekeeper Cheng Nan. Prince Yu was not attracted by won’s charm, so there was no concubine in the mansion and the number of servant girls was also small.
Didn’t like won? It was a pity that he wasted his handso look.
But it was also good. She didn’t need to focus on the endless sches of other concubines of him.
It was ti for dinner after Steward Deng left. Jinyue returned to Art Courtyard to serve Concubine De for the al while Lin ngya asked the cook to prepare for a superb al to welco Ruyue and Lin Zhongyu.
Ruyue was a servant girl, but she was influenced by Lin ngya from an early age, so she was disciplined.
What surprised Lin ngya most was Lin Zhongyu’s table manners. He was serious and disciplined. This little guy was really a lady-killer after being washed clean.
After a few years, a lot of girls must be attracted to him.
"Sister Princess, do I have rice on my face?" From the beginning, Lin Zhongyu felt that the beautiful Princess was looking at him with enthusiasm.
His little face turned red imdiately. Did he eat too much? Did Sister Princess hate him?
Reluctantly, he put the bowl on the table. Sister Princess was a good person, she saved him and brought him here. He would rather eat less than being hated by her.
"No, I think you are a handso boy. But you are too thin. Co on, have a chicken leg." She smiled and looked at Lin Zhongyu, who was overcautious, and she thought that ancient boys were too innocent.
He was just being watched for a while and his face turned red.
"Princess, Prince said that he wanted to sleep in the study room tonight and you could go to bed earlier," the woman in charge of the Qinglan Courtyard returned and said outside the door, and the three people in the room were stunned.
She had to sleep alone after getting married for three days.
A mysterious smile appeared on her face. She put a chopstick of vegetables into her mouth. Great! She didn’t need to shake the bed tonight!
"Miss, don’t be sad! I believe that the prince must have official duties to deal with." Ruyue blinked her round eyes and comforted her lady. But she still blad the prince in her heart. Her master had just got married, but she needed to sleep alone. It turned out that it was difficult to be a princess.
"Sad? Why should I be sad?" Lin ngya looked at Ruyue and instantly understood her aning.
Her identity as Long Tianhao’s wife existed in na only. Moreover, the only thing she wanted to do now was to settle down in this strange place.
"Don’t leave tonight and I can teach you how to play cards!" Lin ngya suddenly beca excited. When she was in college, she was busy with the dical school’s howork and had no ti to enjoy the ordinary college life.
She devoted herself to the research and she also did not participate in the activities organized by the other three girls in the dormitory.
At the end of her life, she realized that she could do more.
"Play cards?" Ruyue and Lin Zhongyu looked at her at the sa ti. They had to swallow their doubts after seeing her excitent and interests.
She asked Ruyue to find the paste and cardboard from the won servants. Then she painted and made a deck of cards.
"Sister Princess, what kind of card is it?" Looking at the thick pile of cards on the table, Lin Zhongyu didn’t know whether to cry or to laugh.
But Lin ngya waved her hands and carefully fiddled with the cards on the table.
She couldn’t play difficult gas. And after thinking carefully, she thought that the national ga Fight the Landlord was the best for three of them to play.
She simply explained the rules. Steward Deng had just given her 300 taels of silver, so Lin ngya generously gave the other two people ten taels as the gambling money. Then three of them played in the room.
After a while, Lin Zhongyu beca skilled and could be the landlord and play with the other two people. But Ruyue was still confused about the rules.
Lin ngya’s room was bustling while the study room was very quiet.
At the age of twelve, Long Tianhao was sent to the army by his father. After so many years, he had ford a calm personality.
He held a book of war arts in his hand and lay on the small bed in the study room. He spent countless nights alone like this.
A woman was synonymous with trouble for him. Except for his biological mother and Aunt Jinyue, he didn’t care about any won in the past years.
But the woman in Qinglan Courtyard was very weird. He must find out who she was and make sure that everyone in the mansion had no sinister motive.
"Master." There was a black figure in the study room after a gust of wind. Night knelt on one knee and bowed his head.
"How about the people living in Qinglan Courtyard?" His wedding ceremony had co to an end and there was no one in the mansion who would eavesdrop them at night. So he didn’t need to pretend anymore.
He was not at ease with that woman.
"Princess was playing cards with her servant girl and the boy." There was a trace of hesitation in his voice.
Long Tianhao rolled his cold eyes and threw the book on the small tea table in front of him.
"Oh? Playing cards? Pai Gow or Ma Diao?" Long Tianhao did not expect that the girl was still undisciplined. However, usually, ladies just played Ma Diao.
"Master, I don’t know, the cards are weird and I’ve never seen it." Night hid in the dark to watch for a long ti and found that they were talking about straight and bomb, which made him confused.
However, according to the information of the spy in her family, she grew up in her house and didn’t go out. Why did Night don’t know the cards she was playing with?
He must find out the truth about her.
"I want to see, follow ." Long Tianhao’s face darkened and he flew out of the window. After a while, he stood on the roof of the Qinglan Courtyard.
Night followed him and they could clearly see what the three people in the room were doing.
"Three cards of number three and two cards of number five." Ruyue was complacent and took out five cards from her hands.
In the room, three people sat around the table. The room was brightly lit and they were also very happy.
"Pass." Lin Zhongyu looked at the cards in his hands and shook his head. But he smiled like a cunning fox.
"Three cards of number four and two cards of number six!" Lin ngya calmly took out five cards and put them on the table.
But Ruyue pouted and pestered Lin ngya endlessly.
Long Tianhao looked at the crude cards on the table carefully. There were scrawly handwritings on them and he could not recognize the pattern. But the three people were playing excitedly.
"Miss, I don’t want to be the landlord anymore! How annoying! I nearly lost all of my money! I still want to buy sesa snacks in the west of the city!" Ruyue pouted and took out several mung beans and put them on the table reluctantly.
"It’s just mung bean, don’t be sad! You miser!" Lin ngya clicked on the forehead of Ruyue and said. She would not get the 10 taels of silver back.
"Miss, do you really give the money to ?" Ruyue’s big eyes were round and she asked. Her monthly paynt was only a denarius.
But she got ten taels of silver this ti. Wow! She could buy enough sesa snacks and sugar-coated haws!
"Sister Princess, I can’t receive this." Lin Zhongyu silently returned the money to Lin ngya.
"Why? Don’t worry, I have a lot of money. You can use it to buy so snacks and toys." Lin ngya gave the money back to Lin Zhongyu. She thought that this little guy didn’t want to make trouble for her.
Lin ngya looked warmly at the little guy in front of her. Since she had saved him on the street, he was as obedient as a cat.
But she still rembered his stubbornness and indifference when she first t him on the street.
If possible, she would protect Lin Zhongyu in her whole life.
The night wind raised the corner of Long Tianhao’s clothes.
He could not deny that the girl in front of him was cute, clever, warmhearted and cunning. She was as shining as the luminous pearl.
In front of the Queen, she could pretend to be a beautiful and generous lady. When facing her stepmother, she could be arrogant. But at this mont, she was playing with her servants and the young boy who she had picked up.
Then which one was the real Lin ngya?
