Chapter 14 Entering the Imperial Palace for Paying Their Respects

Inside the Imperial Palace of Jin State, nearly all people in Chaoyun Hall were whispering to each other.

Concubine De, as the leader of other concubines, had won the Emperor’s favor in earlier years. After she gave birth to the prince, she became prominent, but she got a cold reception after the Emperor was sick.

These years, her situation went from bad to worse. And now, her son married a fool.

Everyone in the Imperial Palace was waiting to laugh at her and her son.

Suddenly, a servant came to report that Prince Yu and Princess had already been in the palace. Then all the people couldn’t help worrying about Concubine De’s future.

It was afraid that Concubine De would have no place in the Imperial Palace from now on.

“Your Majesty, Prince Yu and Princess are requesting an interview outside the hall.”

“Come in.”

“Yes.”

From being pulled inside the carriage to entering the noble Imperial Palace, Lin Mengya didn’t adapt.

She felt that the pearls and jade on her head became heavier, and her neck was aching.

And the most important thing was that she hadn’t had breakfast yet.

Her blood glucose was a little bit low, but it made her look even more delicate.

A white face attracted the maids’ eyes again and again.

Last night, Prince Yu’s affairs in the bridal chamber spread through the entire Imperial Palace after the old eunuchs and old nannies came back from listening to their movements.

And it was proven that Prince Yu had a bad reputation of having no compassion for women because the new Princess looked so poor and delicate.

The new Princess was indeed exhausted.

In front of Chaoyun Hall, Long Tianhao took a look at the golden plague.

When he was young, his father, the Emperor, always brought him here to play and listen to opera.

At that time, this had been a paradise, but now this was a hell, the hell on earth.

He even remembered that when he was ten years old, Queen slapped his mother on her face for something small, and his mother was punished to kneel in the Hall for a whole night.

Until now, he couldn’t forget that his mother smiled gently at him, even though her lips were bleeding.

From then on, his mother’s knees were in sick. Once the weather was bad, they would be in great pain and suffering.

The hatred, he would never forget.

“What’s wrong?” said Lin Mengya, seeing Long Tianhao curl his hands into fists so hard. She had a hard time raising her head and stared at the man next to her.

“Nothing, let’s go to pay our respects.”

Long Tianhao adjusted his mood quickly and took a glance at Lin Mengya, who was as pretty as a picture. He had an unutterable joy when he thought that Queen’s face would be dark with rage.

Nodding her head, Lin Mengya didn’t know why the man’s face became serious again before her.

“Prince Yu and Princess pay their respects to Queen.”

The eunuch’s piercing voice rang out as soon as they came in.

There was a layer of bead curtains inside the hall. No one could see clearly through it from outside, or from inside.

Lin Mengya ambiguously saw there were many human shadows behind the bead curtains. But she saw Long Tianhao kneel down for a salute, and she followed after him.

“Princess’s and my respects to you, Your Majesty.”

Long Tianhao said in a cold voice without any respects. Although Lin Mengya didn’t know how to salute, her remaining muscle memory helped her spontaneously.

“Never mind. You are members of our family. Come near and let the other concubines have a good look.”
