Chapter 75 Go to the Temple to Pray
“Are you really Qinghu?”
Lin Mengya still stared at him in disbelief. This was too weird!
This man, who seemed to be Qinghu, nodded desperately and gave her a coquettish glance.
Lin Mengya was sure that this shameless man was Qinghu.
“Well, I suffered great pain for my body.”
The poison in his body was forcibly neutralized by the two Longmo flowers, and his body that had been suppressed was also restored to the normal state overnight.
Under the influence of the poisonous flower and the leaves, he became weak and did not have any strength.
Stretching the body was as pain as smashing the bones of the whole body and then reconnecting them.
So the prisoners in the cell heard his horrible screams and moans that night.
Those timid prisoners must be scared and bad affected by this experience.
This shameless man stayed in her room and secretly ate her snacks as always. Lin Mengya looked him up and down and finally confirmed that he was Qinghu.
“Why are you so tall? You look skinny.”
Lin Mengya mumbled with dissatisfaction. But she was curious about Qinghu who had completely changed.
“By the way, why did you keep yourself in the room?”
Lin Mengya kept touching Qinghu to study his body. She suddenly stopped after hearing his question.
“Well, I felt tired. So I was sleeping.”
She felt dizzy and tired after coming back from Baili Rui’s stone room.
She fell asleep and woke up after a day and a night.
It might be caused by the excessive use of her brain. After all, it was difficult for her to accept the names of thousands of drugs in an instant.
“Well, I can rest assured. Girl, I want to be your personal bodyguard.”
Qinghu carefully observed her complexion and then started to joke with her after finding that she was fine.
He narrowed his beautiful eyes and gave her a coquettish glance. But Lin Mengya suddenly pulled him by the ear.
“Personal bodyguard? What can you do?”
The other four people were suddenly attracted to her skittish tone.
This freaky man was flirting with his Sister Princess and Lin Zhongyu was especially angry. He immediately rushed over alertly and started at Qinghu.
“Haha… I’m your close friends and we can do private things together.”
Qinghu pretended to be shy and bent his head. But Lin Mengya suddenly tugged his ears and Qinghu screamed with pain.
“Ah! It hurts! Girl, I was wrong! I dare not flirt with you! It’s all my fault! Please let go!”
Lin Mengya tugged his ears with all her strength. Qinghu was about the same age as Baili Rui who stayed in the dungeon.
He was shameless and thick-skinned. Although he looked young, Lin Mengya would never forget that he was actually an old man.
Shame on him!
“It serves you right!” Lin Zhongyu was delighted to see Qinghu suffer defeat. Qinghu covered his ears in pain and Lin Zhongyu shooed him away. He sat in the chair and mysteriously showed her the object in his hands.
“Sister, look! This is Beauty’s Jade. It can give off faint fragrance and drive away the mosquitoes. Do you like it?”
Lin Zhongyu carefully placed a white jade in the hands of Lin Mengya.
But he didn’t notice the doubts in her eyes.
Lin Mengya suddenly realized that Xiaoyu had changed.
He was still a cute boy in front of Lin Mengya.
But Lin Mengya didn’t believe that this rare treasure was found by him by chance or was his heirloom.
But she restrained herself from asking him.
She didn’t want to know the answer after seeing the bright smile on Xiaoyu’s face.
“I like it. Thank you for your gift.”
It was Xiaoyu’s secret and she didn’t think it was necessary to find out about it.
She would not stop him unless he did something against the law.
She touched Xiaoyu’s face. His face had been thin but under her care and love, it finally became round now.
“I like it very much and I’ll carry it with me every day.”
He was old enough to have his own secrets.
The atmosphere in the Qinglan Courtyard was relaxing every day.
Despite the political tensions, people living in the Qinglan Courtyard felt at ease because Lin Mengya was here.
The Bright King has already arrived in the capital city with his sons and daughters.
Long Tianhao was busy showing the Bright King around the capital city every day. The welcoming banquet for the Bright King would be given five days later.
But recently, Lin Mengya always felt uneasy for no reason.
She and Concubine De always discussed Jiang Ruqin and tried to find a way to make her stick out from the crowd in the banquet. Perhaps that was the reason why she always felt tired and worried.
“Princess? Princess?”
Lin Mengya was absent-minded and Jinyue looked at her questioningly. Jinyue pulled at her sleeves and called her name.
“Why did you say?”
Lin Mengya regained consciousness and looked at Jinyue blankly. It was obvious that she didn’t hear what Jinyue had said.
“Princess, please be careful when you and Concubine De go to the Wanfu Temple to pray. Because the Bright King is in the capital city, there are a lot of strange people on the streets. You will come to the temple in the carriage of Prince Yu’s Mansion, but you should be careful.”
Jinyue said to her worriedly and made preparation for this trip.
Although Concubine De was living in Prince Yu’s Mansion now, she still needed to follow the rules and couldn’t go out at will.
Therefore, she would go to the Wanfu Temple in the suburbs to pray on the first and 15th day of every lunar month.
But this time, Concubine suddenly asked Lin Mengya to go with her.
But the Princess was young and might be unfamiliar with the temple.
“Don’t worry. Aunt Jingyue will go with us. I’ll ask her if I have any questions.”
Lin Mengya was not worried at all. All they needed to do was to pray in the temple.
The streets were busy but Long Tianhao would ask guards to protect them every time Concubine De went to the temple.
After a while, the manservant of Long Tianhao came to the Art Courtyard to pass the word to them.
“Princess Yu, the Prince said that he would have dinner with the Prince of Tubo and might sleep in the post house.”
The manservant respectfully passed Long Tianhao’s words to them. Lin Mengya nodded and asked him to leave.
“The Prince is really kind to you.”
They have been married for over three months. Long Tianhao always kept a poker face but Jinyue noticed that he respected and cared for Lin Mengya.
Jinyue was very surprised because she knew that the Prince was a cold-hearted and indifferent man.
“Yes. The Prince is very kind to me.”
They haven’t seen each other for half a month.
Although they lived in the same place, they were busy with their own affairs.
Today was the 15th day of this month. He might come here and…
Lin Mengya suddenly sighed with resignation. He’d better sleep in the post house tonight. If he came back, she must rock the bed and groan once again.
Oh my God! Staying up late was not good for her skin!
Aunt Jinyue, however, seemed to have misunderstood Lin Mengya. She mistakenly thought that Lin Mengya was unwilling to part with the Prince. She was about to tease her but the head of the bodyguard suddenly entered the Art Courtyard.
“Princess, we’ve prepared enough donations, including food and quilted jackets. They’ve been loaded on the carriage. Besides, the guards are ready and are waiting for you outside the mansion. It’s time to set off.”
Long Tianhao didn’t openly tell the servants to follow Lin Mengya’s orders. But she made the decisions and handle all the affairs in the mansion.
Therefore, the butlers got used to reporting back to Lin Mengya.
Concubine De didn’t expect that the big mansion was organized under her management.
Concubine De asked Aunt Jinyue to help Lin Mengya to handle the affairs. She praised Lin Mengya for being careful and impartial every time she talked with Concubine De.
Every servant in the mansion liked Lin Mengya who was strict but not stern.
“Please hang on a sec. I need to invite Concubine De. By the way, I know that some servants donate their old padded jackets. Please ask Steward Deng to give me a name list and I’ll give them an extra allowance when we make winter clothes.”
“Yes. I’ll tell him immediately.”
Jinyue gave her a thumbs-up sign in secret. The Princess was young but she was considerate and kind-hearted.
Perhaps it was the reason why the servants in Prince Yu’s Mansion was loyal and respectful to her.
“Please let me prepare these items. You can report back to Concubine De.”
Lin Mengya looked around and found that everything was ready. She nodded and entered the principal room of Concubine De.
They kept a low profile and three carriages of Prince Yu’s Mansion appeared on the street in front of the mansion.
Lin Mengya and Concubine De were sitting in the first spacious carriage with their personal maids.
Concubine De only took Jingyue while Lin Mengya took Baiji and Baizhi with her.
In the carriage, Concubine De was lying lazily on the good cashmere blanket. Because they went to the Buddhist temple to pray this time, Concubine only wore a piece of cyan-colored silk clothes, and the neckline was embroidered with golden clouds.
She looked both dignified and amiable. It seemed that she was just a lady of a big family.
“Mother, this is the tea made by Baiji. Please have a try.”
Lin Mengya was the younger generation. Therefore, her servant girls needed to finish all the work in the carriage.
She was young and didn’t need to follow the dress code in the imperial palace. She was wearing a white silk dress and looked beautiful and elegant like the fairy in heaven.
“All right. You need to have a rest. We’ve just left home and you’ve been busy preparing blanket and making tea for me. You must be tired.”
Nowadays, Concubine De was very kind to Lin Mengya. She suffered from rheumatoid arthritis and her legs were painful and itchy in rainy and cloudy days.
But she didn’t expect that Lin Mengya could treat her diseases with fumes in moxibustion.
If she was free, she would do it herself. If she was not available, she would carefully ask the servants of Concubine De to do it.
After half a month, Concubine De felt more comfortable. Therefore, she was more dependent on Lin Mengya now.
“Mother, you’re being too polite. I’m your daughter-in-law and it’s my moral obligation to help you.”
Lin Mengya smiled softly and said humbly.
She was about to chat with Concubine De, but loud noises suddenly appeared outside the carriage.
