Chapter 765 Hide Her True Self by Pretending to Be Ambitious
However, at the thought that she was trying to be modest, Xiaoyu imdiately intended to ntion her “great achievents”.
Lin ngya imdiately changed the topic. If she let Xiaoyu go on talking about this, she would feel too ashad to continue staying here.
She said, “In fact, I co here for Xiaoyu indeed. Mada, you also know that there are multiple forces in a disordered state in the Lieyun Empire at present. Xiaoyu’s force is not the strongest one, but it can enable him to protect himself. Nevertheless, he still lacks sothing crucial. Although I have no talent, I accidentally obtained the ability to help Xiaoyu get the crucial thing. Nevertheless, Xiaoyu is the son of you and His Majesty after all. It’s up to you two to decide whether to let him do that or not.”
Mada Jingrou glanced at Lin ngya, then at her silly son who fixed his eyes on Lin ngya, sighing secretly in her heart.
She only heard that the woman who saved Xiaoyu was of extraordinary origin, but she didn’t expect the woman to be not only bold and insightful but also ambitious.
She was not sure if it was a blessing or a curse for her son to have such a woman around.
“Uh... I can’t make the decision. I’ll invite His Majesty over to talk it over. Miss Lin, no, I’d better call you Miss Helan. Since Yu’er has brought you here, you are naturally our distinguished guest. If you don’t mind, can you stay in my Fengyu Court for a few days?” Mada Jingrou said.
How could Lin ngya turn down such a polite invitation?
After exchanging glances with Xiaoyu, she nodded.
Mada Jingrou, who didn’t dare to treat Lin ngya lightly, imdiately instructed Ningqiu beside her to take Lin ngya to have a rest.
After that, only Mada Jingrou and Xiaoyu were left in the main hall.
Staring at her son lovingly, Mada Jingrou noticed that he seed to have inherited his father’s domineering air despite his young age.
He was her only child as well as one of the biggest motivations enabling her to endure the hardships over the years.
But now, her son’s mind was occupied with such a woman.
She would prefer that Yu’er fell in love with a woman who had no talent or virtue but was dignified with regular features.
“Yu’er, I like Miss... Miss Helan, but she doesn’t seem to be an ordinary girl. I think it’s a good thing for a girl to be smart, but she is too smart, which may make her an unsuitable wife for you. Do you agree?” Mada Jingrou said.
She could not co straight to the point when talking with her son.
She still rembered when Yu’er just returned to the Lieyun Empire, he was cold to everyone and never showed a smile.
Only when he received Miss Lin’s letters did his face soften a little.
She heard from those who ca back from the Capital City of the Jin State with Xiaoyu that only Miss Lin was able to make him obedient.
As a mother, she only felt regretful and upset, but she failed to find her way into Yu’er’s heart.
Now that their relationship finally eased, she would not let anything turn Yu’er against her.
After seeing Lin ngya off, Lin Zhongyu, who was known as Wanyan Yu now, turned to look at his mother with a serious look.
He asked, “Mother, are you afraid that she will take control of the imperial court like the late Empress and cause chaos in our country?”
Mada Jingrou intended to deny it, but she suddenly rembered that her son took after her and the Emperor in his temperant.
She could only nod slowly, thinking that a woman who was too tough and smart was no less than a disaster to the royal family.
Moreover, judging from Yu’er’s attitude towards Miss Lin, if he married her in the future, she would definitely be his legal wife.
Mada Jingrou couldn’t let Yu’er take such a great risk.
“Mother, rest assured. She will never do that. If she wants to do that, I’m willing to give her everything I have. Your worry is overblown. My sister is very smart. She expressed her ambition eagerly just in order to avoid building close bonds with you,” Xiaoyu said and shook his head bitterly.
He knew about his sister very well.
When he first t her, he felt that she was like a fairy who ca from the ninth heaven and occasionally descended to the mortal world so that he had the pleasure of eting her.
Back then, she was indescribably gorgeous, both lively and gentle.
But this ti, when he t her again, he discovered that although she still treated him as before, she was aloof and tried to alienate herself from others.
A smart person like her must have seen through his mother’s perseverant and cautious disposition, so she put on an aggressive and ambitious look.
Only by displeasing his mother could she avoid building close bonds with his mother.
What on earth had happened in the past half a year so that his sister beca like this?
Wanyan Yu suddenly felt regretful. If he hadn’t co back at that ti, would he have been able to go through all this with his sister?
“That... that’s what she’s up to? Xiaoyu, did I do anything wrong so that Miss Lin misunderstood ?” Mada Jingrou asked.
No matter what kind of person Lin ngya was, she was Xiaoyu’s life saver. Even if she wouldn’t marry Xiaoyu, she was worthy of their gratitude.
Wanyan Yu shook his head helplessly, with no idea what was going on in his sister’s mind.
“She is not a narrow-minded person. Mother, you can talk over anything with her from now on, and you will gradually discover that she is different from you and all the other won in the imperial palace. You will also like her because she is so likable that she has plenty of companions willing to take all risks for her,” Xiaoyu said in a soft voice.
He seed to be much more tender when talking about anything about his sister.
At the sight that her son suddenly beca as ek as a sheep, Mada Jingrou felt a little jealous but curious about Miss Helan.
Although she had just t Helan for a while, she found Helan was not only tough and ambitious, but also extraordinary both in appearance and courage.
Could it be that Helan just did all this to hide her true self?
“Miss, please co in. This is the side chamber of the Fengyu Court,” Ningqiu said.
As she led Lin ngya here, she stole a glance at the strange Miss Helan from ti to ti.
It should be noted that the Fengyu Court was one of the most elegant and quietest places even in the imperial palace of the Lieyun Empire.
Even she, who had worked as a palace maid in the imperial palace since she was a child, involuntarily kept looking around secretly when she ca to the Fengyu Court for the first ti.
However, Miss Helan seed used to this, rely looked around with little interest and nodded lightly.
It was no wonder that the prince regarded Miss Helan with special attention. Miss Helan was indeed different from people like her.
“Miss Ningqiu, if you continue paying no attention to the road, you’re going to bump into the door,” Lin ngya warned Ningqiu gently, which made Ningqiu, who had been peeping at her, blush instantly.
Ningqiu looked uneasily at Miss Helan and was about to kneel down and plead guilty, but she was stopped by a pair of strong hands.
“In your Fengyu Court, both the master and the palace maids have to kneel frequently. Don’t you feel tired? Silly girl, I won’t bla you. Besides, don’t kneel to others easily from now on. A loyal and clever person like you will distinguish yourself in the imperial palace sooner or later,” Lin ngya said.
Ningqiu was a little confused. Miss Helan said a lot in the main hall just now, but she did not sound as gentle and sincere as she did at the mont.
Ningqiu stared timidly at Miss Helan, finding she was affable with a pleasant voice.
So Ningqiu beca much less timid and fearful.
“Why are you staring at like that? I can’t present another vase of purple peonies even if you keep staring at .” As Lin ngya said, she gently knocked on Ningqiu’s forehead.
The reason why she treated Ningqiu so kindly was that Ningqiu seed to have reminded her of her maids.
Hongyu presumably had returned to the Capital City by now. Had Baishao and the other maids been waiting for news of her return every day?
If... if they got the bad news of her death from Long Tianyu, they would cry bitterly.
With her face suddenly becoming gloomy, she thought how many people she had to let down for the accursed relics of the Guwei State.
“Miss, are you thinking about your family mbers?” Ningqiu asked.
After pushing open the door of the side chamber, she turned around and saw Lin ngya’s complicated expression.
“Yes, I have a few sisters like you in my distant ho. I miss them terribly, but I can’t go back to et them,” Lin ngya said.
Regardless of their previous identities, she had long considered them as the family mbers she valued most.
In order to protect them and stop the relics of the Guwei State from bringing more disasters, Lin ngya could only save them in this way.
Although Ningqiu had no idea what Miss Helan ant, she felt grieved at the sight of Miss Helan’s dejected look.
She was the youngest child most favored by her parents. If it were not for the misfortune her family t with, she would not have beco a humble palace maid who had been bullied all the ti in the imperial palace.
Overwheld by sorrow, she stood at the door and burst into tears, while saying, “I also miss my family mbers...”
She, who was sobbing, began to weep aloud in the blink of an eye.
Lin ngya looked at the girl in front of her in astonishnt, thinking, “I’m hosick, but why is she crying more bitterly than ?”
“Stop crying. Look at you. I’m sad, but you’re crying louder than . Ningqiu, you’re quite interesting,” Lin ngya said and looked helplessly at Ningqiu who lost herself in crying.
Ningqiu was quite similar to Baizhi in crying easily.
If one day the two of them took part in a competition for the best weeper, perhaps it would be very exciting.
Lin ngya drew a candy out of her sleeve and put it in Ningqiu’s mouth when the ti ca.
Ningqiu’s crying that amazed Lin ngya stopped abruptly.
