Chapter 838 et Xin Luan Again
Lin ngya looked at him, entranced.
He had never said he loved her, but had been generous in expressing his affection for her.
In the dark, Lin ngya involuntarily lifted the corners of her mouth, slowly showing a smile that overshadowed all the other beautiful things around the world.
Long Tianyu was srized by her smile, thinking it the only thing he had lived for over the years.
Compared with her, both the throne and the desire to dominate the world beca aningless!
He gently touched her smiling lips with his big hand. Finally, she took the initiative to kiss him with her tender lips.
In the starry night, they were just an ordinary couple who were expressing their affection for each other passionately and devotedly.
After reluctantly taking her back to her room from the mountain behind the imperial palace, Long Tianyu stayed there and slept with her that night. It was not until early morning the next day that he left while looking back repeatedly.
Seeing that he was as wretched as a child who was throwing a tantrum, Lin ngya couldn’t help laughing.
Why did he beco increasingly childish?
If it were not for her promise that he could co and stay here in the next few days before leaving the capital city, he probably would not have left easily as she asked.
She shook her head in a bitter sweet mood, thinking, “Alas, where has the arrogant and aloof Prince Yu been?”
After the intimacy last night, Lin ngya naturally put their romantic relationship aside.
She got work to do today. Fortunately, she had a sound sleep yesterday afternoon, otherwise, she would not have been so energetic.
By the ti Lin ngya heard so people began to move outside, she had gotten dressed.
Different from when she was in the Jin State, now she no longer preferred red and dark reddish purple clothes.
She, dressed in a pea green palace costu, looked different from the imperial concubines and ordinary palace maids at the sa ti.
Most of the patterns on her neckline and cuffs were chrysanthemums and green bamboos.
She tied up her black hair in a simple bun behind her head, wearing a silver or jade hairpin.
Besides, she wore earrings set with gems that went well with her hairpin.
She was not the only one dressed refreshingly in the imperial palace, but she, who had charming features, exuded an air of indifference.
A pure and gorgeous lady was a perfect description of her.
Along the way, one and another people bowed to Lin ngya.
Most of the ti, she nodded slightly as a response. She had neither been particularly hospitable to anyone nor treated anyone with excessive indifference.
The Empress had left the imperial palace, and Mada Hui had been sent away by her personally.
At this mont, Wanyan Jing wasn’t in the imperial palace.
Considering all these, Lin ngya had regained her usual indifference and tried hard to avoid attracting attention.
However, everyone knew that Miss Helan, Mada Jingrou’s personal maid, was extraordinary.
Of course Lin ngya was aware of this, so she avoided going out unless it was absolutely necessary, lest others describe her as soone who presud upon Mada Jingrou’s preference for her and beca haughty.
Today, Lin ngya was going to the resting palace of the Emperor again.
The murder of the four palace maids should have been settled by now.
The Emperor’s resting palace was neither far nor close, so it would take so ti for Lin ngya to walk there.
As soon as she turned the corner and ca to the front yard from the garden, she saw a person standing a few steps away from her.
Lin ngya rely lifted her head to take a look without showing any expression.
It was only when she walked past the person that she bowed and said, “Greetings, reverend sir.”
She, whose voice was elegant and soft, was more quick-witted and fluent than most mbers of the imperial palace.
Xin Luan, the High Priest, turned around and composedly looked the woman in front of him up and down with his sharp eyes.
Then he said, “I’m going with you to et His Majesty today. Let’s go, Miss Helan.”
Lin ngya was a little surprised, but more puzzled by his invitation.
Co to think of it, he had tactfully refused to et her a few days ago, but he stood here and waited for her today.
It seed that the High Priest was not as indifferent to power as he appeared to be.
“Okay, let’s go, reverend sir,” Lin ngya said without making detailed inquiries about his intention.
They seed to be playing charades, and every glance and move of theirs could be a riddle and the answer to it.
Lin ngya had never underestimated the High Priest. Now it seed that he probably had thought things through.
The two of them arrived at the resting palace of the Emperor one after the other. The eunuch, who had sharp eyes, had long recognized that they were two big shots in the imperial palace.
He imdiately ca up to them with a smile, bowed to them and said, “Reverend sir, Miss Helan, do you co to et His Majesty?”
Xin Luan nodded, and Lin ngya gave tacit consent to his words.
“Please wait for a mont. I’m going to report your request right away,” the eunuch said.
Watching the eunuch disappear into her sight in haste, Lin ngya involuntarily took a deep breath.
In recent days, the Emperor had adopted a particularly strange attitude towards her.
Hopefully, she would not make any mistake later, lest the temperantal Emperor find fault with her.
“I’ve heard about sothing recently. Miss, I hope you could answer my question,” Xin Luan suddenly said.
Lin ngya, who did not expect him to say that, could only reply gently, “Reverend sir, please feel free to ask.”
Xin Luan stood there, without changing his countenance.
He asked, “Miss Helan, I’d like to know if you have a desire for the position of the Empress of our Lieyun Empire?”
Why did he ask about this?
Lin ngya was a little hesitant, not because she was at a loss how to answer, but because she had never thought about this.
But Xin Luan’s tone puzzled her.
Lin ngya had no choice but to tell him the truth, “Only a capable person is competent at the position of the Empress. I’m incompetent and don’t dare to covet the position.”
After having the conversation with Zhou Ling, she felt awkward every ti she heard soone ntion this.
She considered Xiaoyu as her younger brother recorded in the pedigree of the Lin Family.
But now others thought that she had an ambiguous relationship with Xiaoyu, which she, as Xiaoyu’s sister, considered as the biggest joke in the world.
Unfortunately, finding it impossible to explain it to others one by one, she could only put up with their misunderstandings without giving any explanation.
But one day Xiaoyu would get married and have children, and she would leave.
When the ti ca, these rumors would die down.
Hearing Lin ngya’s words, Xin Luan did not ask another question.
The two of them fell silent with their minds occupied with different thoughts.
Thankfully, the eunuch returned soon and told them the Emperor called them in.
“Thank you, sir,” Lin ngya thanked the eunuch politely.
Considering she could not compare with Xin Luan, the illustrious High Priest, she was particularly polite to the palace servants.
So the palace servants had a favorable impression of her.
In this way, she more or less established a good reputation in the imperial palace, which counteracted the bad reputation she had a while back.
Apart from Mada Jingrou, there were a few noble ladies dressed in fine clothes in the Emperor’s resting palace today.
When Lin ngya moved forward, she heard those ladies talking and laughing in soft voices.
The Emperor should be in his study inside at the mont, so they could only stay in the outer room for a while.
Looking up and seeing Lin ngya, Mada Jingrou, who was sitting in the seat of honor, imdiately showed a smile on her delicate face.
Then she waved her hand at Lin ngya and said in a gentle voice, “Co here, lass. I was about to send soone to summon you, but you ca. How could I not be fond of a considerate girl like you?”
Because of Xiaoyu, Mada Jingrou was especially close to Lin ngya, which was known to everyone in the imperial palace.
However, at the sight of this, the noble ladies around Mada Jingrou felt uncomfortable.
Despite her gentleness and exceeding beauty, Mada Jingrou, born into a noble family, always seed forbidding.
Even brilliant ladies from notable families found it hard to get close to her.
Why was the humble palace maid able to win her special favor?
In this case, they did not dare to pick on Lin ngya in front of Mada Jingrou and just held back their dissatisfaction with Lin ngya.
“I should have co to pay my respects to you earlier, Mada, but I have been occupied these days,” Lin ngya said.
After glancing at the ladies inadvertently, she realized they were presumably the noble ladies, who were eager to marry Xiaoyu, ntioned by Zhou Ling.
However, after observing them carefully, she found they were not as intelligent, quick-witted and pretty as Xiu.
In her view, only a wonderful girl like Xiu was good enough for her brother.
Nevertheless, Cupid had not brought them together yet.
As Xiaoyu’s sister, she was trendously anxious, but the two of them were not.
“Mada, since Miss Helan is here, we are leaving now,” the ladies said.
This was the Emperor’s resting palace where ordinary won were not allowed to get in according to rules.
But today, they were brought into the imperial palace by their fathers without previous arrangents.
They claid that they ca to pay their respects to Mada Jingrou, but in fact, they intended to please Mada Jingrou so that they could be chosen as Xiaoyu’s wife.
Mada Jingrou nodded and instructed Ningqiu to give them so trinkets as presents.
Seeing the gorgeous ladies leave, Mada Jingrou finally breathed a sigh of relief.
They were pretty good, well-educated, intelligent and gentle.
However, she, who had always enjoyed peace, found the ladies around her a little noisy.
She preferred to be accompanied by Helan who was agreeable.
“Mada, you’re so lucky. In my view, these ladies are all outstanding, and each of them is good enough to be the Ninth Princess,” Lin ngya said.
Without outsiders around, she beca livelier in front of Mada Jingrou.
She personally served a cup of hot tea to Mada Jingrou. Of course, she knew that Mada Jingrou disliked a noisy environnt where there were lots of people around.
These ladies tried their best to present themselves, which actually had a negative effect.
