Maidservant Feng nodded with a smile on her face.
"We are being rude. Miss Gong, you can go and make the arrangements. I will wait for you here."
Lin Mengya nodded slightly and asked Shang'er to stay there. She went back to her room with Baisu to change her clothes.
These things were prepared in advance, so it didn't take a long time.
Lin Mengya also wanted to leave a good impression in front of Princess Xiao, so she didn't dress up too coquettishly. Instead, she dressed up nicely.
After sitting in Xiao Wangfus carriage, the carriage shook for a while before arriving at another bustling street in Dragon Capital.
Because Dragon City was larger than the average capital city, there were at most one or two powerful families living in the best location on each street.
The street where the Gong family lived was just like that, and the street they were on now was one of the busiest streets in Dragon City.
The carriage stopped in front of a magnificent mansion. Maidservant Feng knocked on the door from outside the carriage.
"Miss Gong, we are here."
Baisu opened the door from the inside and helped Lin Mengya out of the carriage.
The mansion was much more luxurious than the Gong family's mansion.
When the mansion was built, the Gong family was already one of the wealthiest families in Wei Country.
However, this was Dragon City, the territory of the King. Be it a dragon or a tiger, they had to behave themselves.
But Prince Xiao's mansion was extremely luxurious.
Even though it had been a long time, it didn't hide Prince Xiao's arrogant personality.
No wonder Princess Ma, who was born in an aristocratic family, couldnt get Prince Xiao's favor. Such an arrogant person only likes a cute plaything, or he likes a girl who is like a jackal from the same lair.
The gentleness and arrogance of a young lady from an aristocratic family was always incompatible with him.
"Miss Gong, this way please."
Maidservant Feng brought her into the mansion and led her through the corridors to the back courtyard.
But what Lin Mengya didn't expect was that there was someone else in the backyard besides her.
"Princess, Princess, Miss Gong is here."
Maidservant Feng led her to a parlor. Although it was open from the front to the back, it didn't feel cold because of the stove.
Apart from her, there were five other women who sat here first.
Among the five of them, three of them were dressed as women. Moreover, she was beautiful, but the corners of her eyes and the tips of her brows hung a harsh expression. With one look, one could tell that she was the type of person who loved to be jealous the most in a large family.
The remaining two didn't look very old, but their appearance and temperament were not bad.
She had an oval face, and her eyebrows were somewhat similar to Gu Pan's. However, she was slightly more mature than Gu Pan's, and she was still as beautiful as a peach.
She could guess that this was the most favored concubine daughter, right?
However, the person sitting next to her was elegant and quiet. She didn't have any makeup on her pretty face, and she looked like a pure and delicate beauty.
Lin Mengya could roughly guess their identities. She didn't expect that they would be here too. It was really interesting.
When the five of them saw her enter, although their expressions changed slightly, none of them opened their mouths to greet her.
Lin Mengya only sneered in her heart, but she looked more composed on the outside.
Not long after, Old Maid Feng walked out again and said to Lin Mengya with a kind smile.
"My princess and princess have been waiting for you for a long time. Miss Gong, please come this way."
After that, she was ready to leave with Lin Mengya.
At this time, the three women behind her were anxious. The one who was the leader stood up and shouted loudly.
"Mother Feng, didn't you say that Princess and princess occasionally have a cold, and even we, the family members, can't see them? How can an outsider like her — "
Old Maid Feng was also a person who was used to seeing the world. After coldly staring at the woman, she said unceremoniously.
"Miss Gong is a distinguished guest. She is by no means comparable to those miscellaneous people. Jiang Shi, don't break the rules. "
Old Maid Feng's warning was obviously very effective.
The beautiful concubine called Jiang Yin 'er could only swallow her resentment.
Lin Mengya didn't want to get involved in the inner courtyard of Prince Xiao's Mansion, but what happened today made her understand one thing.
Prince Xiao was a person who was greedy for beauty, while Princess Xiao was an orthodox lady from a famous family.
As a result, although she had a high status in Prince Xiao's Mansion, those concubines, relying on Prince Xiao's favor, would definitely play tricks in the dark to attack Princess Xiao.
The current situation was rather unbearable for the princess.
However, it was not a bad thing.
Following Old Maid Feng through the Flower Hall, the two of them came to a solemn and elegant courtyard.
As soon as they entered the door, Gu Pan rushed out of the room like a gust of wind.
"Gong Ya, you are finally here! I can't wait to go out to look for you! "
Lin Mengya greeted Gu Pan with a smile. Although they were in a foreign country, Lin Mengya felt a little better to see Gu Pan behaving in such a lively manner.
The two of them walked into the inner room, and Lin Mengya saw Princess Ma for the first time.
Although she was Prince Xiao's legal wife, she was only in her thirties.
She was at the age where a woman was full of charm and mature charm.
Unfortunately, she was suppressed in the deep courtyard too early.
Lin Mengya felt that Princess Xiao had been wronged.
"Greetings, Princess."
"Get up, Mother Feng. Have a seat."
Ma's voice was very pleasant. At first glance, it was the kind of voice that was carefully trained.
After thanking Mother Feng, she sat in the inner room.
Then Lin Mengya saw clearly the appearance of Princess Xiao.
Ma Beichen looked masculine and handsome, but the princess in front of her was not like him at all.
Lin Mengya looked at her as if she was looking at a noble lady in a painting.
Gentle, elegant, and noble.
Especially her coffee-colored eyes, which were full of tranquility, but she was too lonely and lacked vitality.
"I have heard from Chen that you are a very interesting girl. Seeing you today, no wonder Chu Yan likes you so much. "
Lin Mengya was a little stunned, and then she remembered that the real name of Prince Xiao's daughter was Qi Chuyan.
Immediately, she said with a smile.
"You flatter me, Princess. But Master Ma also helped me a lot at that time. But I left in a hurry and forgot to thank you. "
It seemed that Ma Beichen had a good relationship with his sister.
Otherwise, he would not have written to his sister for such a small matter.
But interesting? What kind of comment was that?
"You have a tacit understanding. In the letter, he said that he did you a big favor, and asked me to find an opportunity for you to thank him on his behalf."
Lin Mengya rolled her eyes in her heart. Big favor? More like making trouble.
But she knew that this was a good opportunity to get closer to Princess Xiao.
"Then I'm all ears. Please tell me, Princess. If I can do it, I will do my best."
Princess Xiao smiled and waved her hand.
"It's not that serious. He just said that he hoped you could come to the mansion more often to relieve my boredom. How old is he, but he is still so naughty. "
Lin Mengya was stunned, and then she nodded and agreed.
"Since this is what my benefactor said, I have no reason to refuse. What's more, I feel like an old friend at first sight, and we will visit often in the future. "
Lin Mengya understood that Ma Beichen must have said something in the letter.
Otherwise, the princess would not be so friendly to her so easily.
After listening to the conversation between the two, Gu Pan immediately pulled her cuff, and looked very happy.
"In this way, can I see you often? Good idea, really good! "
She was smiling, and it was obvious that she was a lively little girl.
Lin Mengya inadvertently saw Princess Xiao's eyes, and a hint of joy flashed across her face.
It seemed that the reason why Princess Xiao was so gentle and kind to her was that she wanted to maintain her relationship with Gu Pan.
Yes, although she was the Princess, she had no children and was not favored by the Prince.
If she did not win over Gu Pan, she was afraid that she would be miserable in her later years.
In a big family, family affection was weak, and interests were the most important.
Lin Mengya knew that she did not need to be so clear. After all, her purpose was not so simple.
"Princess, what about those people?"
Gu Pan listened to her, chattering non-stop.
But at the same time, Maid Feng's whisper could not be hidden from her ears.
Xiao Wangfei didnt answer, probably because of the presence of the two of them.
Lin Mengya thought for a while and secretly asked Gu Pan.
"Why don't we go out and talk? I have something to ask you."
Gu Pan had been waiting for this. She immediately nodded, stood up, and said directly.
"Mother, I want to show some fresh flowers to Gong Ya. Can we go first?"
Princess Xiao nodded. Gu Pan immediately took Lin Mengya and rushed out of the room.
However, they deliberately bypassed the flower hall and walked to an elegant small courtyard in the east. Then they were taken to Gu Pan's room.
"It's more convenient to talk here. Mother asked me to go there early in the morning. It's so boring!"
The room had her own style, and Lin Mengya liked it very much.
But now it was not the time to appreciate it.
"Your Highness, when I came here, I saw a few people outside. Don't you need to greet them? "
As expected, Gu Pan showed an impatient expression, wrinkled her nose, and said.
"Who likes to greet them? They are like ghosts, and they can even chase us here! Humph, they are so shameless! "
She had heard that when Prince Xiao's daughter came back, the concubine's daughter was suppressed.
But the current situation did not seem to be the case.
After thinking for a while, she showed a somewhat puzzled smile.
"If Your Highness doesn't like them, just drive them out. Why do you work hard for unimportant people?"
