By the time the dinner began, the sun had already set, and there was not even a trace of afterglow. However, the palace was full of light, with hundreds of lanterns hanging high and swaying in the crisp summer breeze.

At this time, Master Zhenyi had already left the palace, but the fact that he took the initiative to look at Lin Mengyao and Meng Aixiang had already spread in the forbidden palace, and even the emperor and empress were very interested in this matter.

"Mrs. Meng, it seems that your Meng family has a great blessing!" The emperor smiled and said to Zhu Huaxiu, who was full of joy: "This son should be cultivated well, and he can be the companion of my emperor and grandson in the future!" ”

Speaking of this emperor's grandson, Gao Ye, is the son of the crown prince. He was brilliant, and although he was only three years old, he often spoke amazingly, and was more loved by the emperor than his father, who was the crown prince. It's just that this child has brought out of the womb is insufficient, his body is weak, and he is poured into jars of medicine every day. Master Shinichi once showed him his face, and said that he needed to be accompanied by a blessed person to block the evil spirit.

Now, Master Shinichi said that Meng Ai was a rich man, and the emperor naturally calculated for his little grandson.

"El, would you like to study with Ye'er often?" The emperor was amiable and asked Meng Ai.

"It's El's blessing!" Zhu Huaxiu was even more happy when she heard this, and pulled Meng Ai to quickly kneel down and thank him verbally: "Thank you, my emperor Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

Seeing the little Meng Ai bowing to the ground obediently, Lin Mengyao's eyes were hot, and the worry in her heart was reduced by three points - Emperor Gao Xuanyi's words today are naturally another guarantee for Meng Ai, and there are no more people who want to be unfavorable to Meng Ai. I'm afraid that I have to weigh my life and take my life.

"Speaking of Ye'er, it's also the time to be naughty, but it's a pity that the body is not happy, and today I am still recuperating in the East Palace." The queen also loves her only grandson quite much, and her eyes can't help but moisten at the moment.

The emperor sighed for a while, frowned slightly, and then called the eunuch behind him: "You go to the East Palace, ask the crown princess to bring the little emperor and grandson over, take care of it on the road, and don't miss the slightest!" ”

The eunuch answered and hurried down.

Although Lin Mengyao pays more attention to Meng Ai. But he still thought about the emperor's approach. Being the crown prince is actually not useless. It is inevitable to read the poems and books of the predecessors and go through the great strategies of governing the country in the past dynasties. But because of the position of the prince since childhood, it is inevitable that he is a little arrogant. Some think too highly of themselves. That's because of this temperament. The Emperor was not a headache. As for the queen's birthday this time, she never congratulated her. It was even more because of his great achievements that he invited himself to pacify southern Xinjiang.

In fact, it is rare for the prince to go on an expedition. But. The crown prince of Xia Huaguo went after all.

Many people have speculated about the intention of being the son of heaven, and some people say that this is to give the prince a chance to make meritorious contributions, so that those who have a lot of criticism about the prince in the court can shut up; Some people also say that this is the emperor's deliberate tempering of the crown prince, so that he can change his stinky temper; Some people even say that this is the emperor's test of the crown prince, if the southern Xinjiang is too bad, I am afraid that the crown prince's position will be difficult to protect.

There are many opinions, but no one can say for sure.

Lin Mengyao thought about herself thinking too far, the royal affairs couldn't be compared to her eight poles, why bother with such idleness, what she cared about should be the people and things she should care about.

Meng Ai had returned to the banquet at this moment and sat next to Yao Menglin, and the two of them didn't know what they were talking about, but they were all looking at Lin Mengyao.

Lin Mengyao was stunned, Meng Ai had already gotten up and walked towards her.

Overjoyed, Lin Mengyao moved her position and asked Meng Ai to sit down: "Ai'er, why did you come this way?" ”

Meng Ai was respectful and polite: "Auntie, my mother said that you love Ai'er very much, and asked Ai'er to toast you with a glass of wine." ”

With such a sense of etiquette, Lin Mengyao has sorrows and joys. Sadly, the more polite the child is, the more he shows that he is alienated from her; Happily, such a well-behaved and polite child is pleasing after all, and if the emperor and grandson will favor him, then it will be difficult for him to have ups and downs.

But no matter what her mood was, Lin Mengyao still picked up her wine glass and clinked glasses to Meng Ai with care: "Ai'er is well-behaved and sensible, and my aunt is so happy!" ”

After drinking a cup, Lin Mengyao felt a warmth between her legs, and it seemed that Meng Ai's little hand was pressed on her leg. Surprised, but seeing the signal in Meng Ai's eyes, she had to leave, Lin Mengyao hurriedly put the note that Meng Ai pressed on her lap into her sleeve.

What exactly does this kid want to pass on to himself?

Lin Mengyao was puzzled, so she excused herself to go out and leave the table alone, so that she could take a look at the contents of the note.

Lin Mengyao came out, took a leisurely walk, stayed away from the noisy sound of silk and bamboo, and found a pavilion on the rockery not far away to sit down. At this moment, the sky was already full of stars, and the faint light flowed down like autumn water, enveloping people for a while cool and hazy.

Lin Mengyao took out the note and looked at it through the dim red candlelight. At this glance, she was stunned. This Meng Ai is small, but his heart and eyes are not small, and he can see the faces of many people in Meng Mansion clearly at the age of four years.

Meng Ai's note said very clearly, one is that Yao Menglin is pregnant and doesn't know it, but Zhao Qian'er is already planning to make a living; the second is that Meng Nanjun is dizzy and unable to deal with things fairly, and Zhao Qian'er should not turn to him for help; the third is that he wanted to use Lin Mengyao to remind Yao Menglin after that, because the child's words were not credible; The fourth is to say that he trusts Lin Mengyao.

In her previous life, Lin Mengyao felt that her son was smart and clever, beyond the brainpower of ordinary children, but in this life she saw it more clearly-Meng Ai was not only smart, but also deeper than some adults.

However, no matter how surprised she was, Lin Mengyao still had to calm down and think about how to cooperate with Meng Aili to help Yao Menglin solve the current crisis.

When Lin Mengyao was frowning with a note, a figure came from far and near.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Lin Mengyao hurriedly looked, but saw a white figure with a mask and wanted to rush over, the injured was clearly holding a long sword, and the direction of the weapon turned out to be her throat.

was so frightened that Lin Mengyao couldn't shout for a while. Stepping back, she quickly turned around and went down from the other side of the pavilion. But after only a few steps, the figure quietly turned to the opposite side of her, and the long sword in the man's hand was already pointed at her throat.

The throat was pointed at by the long sword, and Lin Mengyao's pores were tightly locked, but her spirit instantly calmed down.

If you want her life, you don't have to go to such great lengths, I'm afraid it's not for her life. Besides, this is the palace entrance, if someone dies, it will definitely turn the world upside down.

With the faint brilliance, Lin Mengyao finally sounded: "Lin Gongzi, what are you doing here?" ”

"Don't do anything, just tell you in the most direct way - if you are always so careless and don't say anything planned, even your own life will not be saved!" (To be continued.) )
