The secrets of the government behind the scenes are revealed, and all the villains are on their knee

Lady Li?

Lin Xue's pupils shrank slightly. Isn't that the prince's biological mother?

Is it appropriate for her to go and see it now?

Before Lin Xue could think about it, they had already reached the back mountain. Just by going up the steps, they would reach the small Buddhist temple.

The housekeeper had no choice but to follow behind, almost crying in anxiety.

But this young prince was someone he couldn't afford to offend. When the prince was not around, he didn't dare to let his servants stop people.

The guards outside the small Buddhist temple, upon seeing the two strangers, immediately stopped them from entering.

Shen Yinlai glanced at his guard, who then stepped forward and said coldly, "The Fourth Prince is here to visit Empress Li. Please go in and inform her."

Hearing this, the guard looked at the butler, and when he saw him nod, he went in to report.

Lin Xue adjusted her hair and clothes, wanting to meet her future mother-in-law in the best possible manner and give her a good impression.

The prince's attitude towards her has been wavering recently. If she can take this opportunity to leave a good impression on Empress Li and visit her more often in the future, Empress Li will definitely like her and will speak more for her in front of the prince.

"Fourth Prince, this way please."

A maid came out to greet Shen Yin.

The small Buddhist hall is not big. After entering the garden and walking through the corridor, you will arrive at the hall. Empress Li is already sitting in the hall waiting.

She closed her eyes and twirled the Buddhist beads in her hand.

The nanny came forward and whispered something in her ear, and she slowly opened her eyes. She was nearly fifty years old, and her face was already covered with traces of wrinkles from the years.

She cast her gaze on Shen Yinlai, from bottom to top, and when she saw Shen Yinlai's face, her eyes narrowed slightly.

It was indeed that woman’s child. His eyebrows, eyes, and mouth all looked very much like her.

Shen Yinlai took a few steps forward, half-knelt in front of her, opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but no sound came out. His eyes, which were usually stern, became particularly well-behaved and pitiful at this moment.

When Empress Li saw him like this, she tightened her grip on the Buddhist beads.

She slowly reached out her hand and stroked the top of Shen Yinlai's head. She closed her eyes, twirled the Buddhist beads in her hand, and uttered a compassionate voice, "Amitabha."

"Buddha is merciful and will bless you."

She gently rubbed the top of Shen Yinlai's head and helped him up.

Tears flashed in Shen Yinlai's eyes, and she looked so pitiful and touched, like a child who hadn't seen his mother for a long time.

If Lin You were here at this moment, he would definitely give him a thumbs up.

This acting skill is no less than Lin You's.

The guard next to him said what Shen Yin had said before: "Madam, the Fourth Prince has always wanted to see you, but he was in the Huguo Temple before and didn't have the opportunity to come. This time he was able to come because Miss Lin Xue was also in the palace."

After hearing him talk about Lin Xue, Empress Li turned her gaze to Lin Xue, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

The housekeeper was a person who could read people's expressions, so he stepped forward and whispered something in her ear. Her eyes narrowed slightly, but there was no big change in them, and it was impossible to tell whether she was happy, angry, sad or joyful.

Lin Xue bowed, "Xue'er, greetings to the Madam."

Empress Li nodded faintly and looked away.

Seeing that her attitude was very indifferent, Lin Xue walked up to a painting, praised it in a well-informed manner, and finally pointed out some of its shortcomings. Only then did Empress Li's gaze change when she looked at her, and the admiration in her eyes was visible to the naked eye.

This painting is a masterpiece of a late famous teacher. Lin Xue was able to express its artistic conception and boldly pointed out its flaws, which shows that she has quite a lot of insights into paintings.

Afterwards, Lin Xue recited another poem, which made Empress Li's eyes more admiring.

When it was lunch time, Empress Li invited the two to have a meal in the Buddhist hall. Although the meal was vegetarian, neither Lin Xue nor Shen Yinlai showed any disgust. After the meal, they burned incense and worshipped Buddha with Empress Li.

Empress Li thought that the two of them should leave now, but she didn't expect Shen Yinlai to actually propose to stay in the palace for a while, and said that in this way, he could come to the Buddhist temple in the back mountain to see her every day, because in this way, he would feel like seeing his own mother.

Empress Li didn't want to agree, but now she was a compassionate nun, so she had to agree to let Shen Yin come.

After getting the consent, Shen Yinlai and Lin Xue left the small Buddhist temple and returned to the mansion.

As soon as she returned, the chess master that Shen Yu arranged for her arrived. The chess master looked at Shen Yinlai and said to Lin Xue, "Miss, can I have a word with you?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xue asked Shen Yinlai to wait first, and the two of them went into the house.

Shen Yinlai sent the housekeeper away and went to the corner to eavesdrop.

At first, he didn't react, but later on, his expression changed.

Finally, he raised the corners of his lips.

Concubine You, I wonder if you still need me this time.

--

Seeing that the women's ceremony was approaching, Lin You had no choice but to change the time to go to Hanlin Academy. She no longer had to wait until the day off. As soon as the court was over, she left the palace and headed for Hanlin Academy.

As soon as she entered the Hanlin Academy, all the students gathered around her and told her about Huang Wang and Lu Cheng with a giggle. It was a great experience to sum it up in one word.

After those two people were gone, their socks and underwear were no longer lost, the air became much fresher, and everyone felt extremely happy.

The students talked excitedly for a long time, but when they saw that Lin You just nodded with an occasional smile and didn't respond, they realized that Lin You was very different today.

She was wearing a bright yellow dress and her hair was decorated with red hairpins, which was plain yet elegant.

She has a slender figure, a cold gaze, and her hands are crossed in front of her abdomen. She walks in a dignified and elegant manner, so noble that no one dares to approach her or disrespect her.

This demeanor is very similar to...

The founding Empress Yuan in history books, yes, is very similar to Empress Yuan.

sky……

The students followed Lin You all the way to the school where Master Leng was.

During this period, no matter what they said or how they exclaimed, Lin You was not affected at all, like a goddess walking out from a group of ants.

When Lin You walked down the corridor, Master Leng had already seen her. The deep eyes behind the mask flashed with surprise and amazement.

He had only seen that figure, that demeanor, and that temperament in Empress Yuan in history books.

Lin You walked to a distance of ten feet in front of him and performed a very standard greeting, "Student, greetings to the teacher."

The tone of voice was no longer as lazy or jumpy as before, but elegant and dignified, and her delicate face was cool and elegant without losing its nobility. In short, her every frown and smile, words and deeds, dress and manners were all 100% qualified, without the slightest flaw.

If it weren't for Daya next to her, the students would almost think that Lin You had a different soul.

"Full marks for etiquette."

After a while, Leng Yang uttered these words.

Lin You bowed again and thanked him.

Leng Yang nodded and began to teach the piano.

Lin You had learned to play the piano, but she preferred dancing, so she didn't spend much time learning it. However, modern music is much more advanced than the music in this world, and the elements are more diverse, so she should be able to pass the test of playing the piano.

Leng Yang asked Lin You to play it first before he started teaching. He thought Lin You's music was very good, but her fingering was not so good, so he taught her the fingering.

Lin You was very serious and would play the piano for the whole day. Leng Yang saw that she was so serious, so he taught her very attentively.

Seeing that it was getting late, Leng Yang let her go back.

Lin You obeyed obediently, performed the greetings, and went back. She did not lose her composure at all throughout the whole day.

Leng Yang looked at her back, his eyes dark.
