But from the beginning to the end, Lin Mengya's attention was all on the other person.
Yu Mingzhu, who was adored by the head of the Yu Family and was almost chosen as the candidate for the head of the Gong Family.
She was able to rely on her own means to climb to her current position from an unknown small family. Her scheming was also very impressive.
Take what happened just now for example. It was obvious that she had something to do with it, but she didn't help.
She didn't even cast a resentful look at Lin Mengya.
She just sat quietly next to Qi Ranxin, as if she was a foil to Qi Ranxin.
But from the words just now, Lin Mengya could tell that Qi Ranxin was not a master who could play tricks.
She could not frame Qi Ranxin. Therefore, Lin Mengya was almost certain that the military counselor behind Qi Ranxin, who was also her helper, must be Yu Mingzhu.
She didn't have the brains to imitate others in fighting. She was afraid that in the end, she would be betrayed without knowing it.
But it was Qi Ranxin's business, and it had nothing to do with Lin Mengya.
"Well, Miss Gong, please don't be angry with Ranxin."
Qi Ranxin still wanted to say something, but at this time, Xiao Wangfei slowly opened her mouth and interrupted her.
Lin Mengya shook her head at Madam Yu and replied with a smile.
"Madam, you think too much. Miss Ran is just a child. If I argue with Miss Ran, won't I be a joke? Besides, I feel like old friends with the princess, and we will visit each other often in the future. Miss Ran just wants to play a joke on me. "
Princess Xiao didn't respond, but the expression on her face said it all.
For Qi Ranxin, Xiao Wangfei certainly doesnt like her.
And according to Miss Ran's character, she must be a spoiled and arrogant girl.
Sure enough, when Qi Ranxin saw them teasing her, she was about to lose her temper.
But Yu Mingzhu, who was next to her, stopped her at the most critical moment.
"Ranxin, I remember that you said you were a little dizzy when you first arrived. I think you must have caught a cold on the way. Princess, Mingzhu wants to take Ranxin to have a rest. Can I? "
Although Princess Xiao didn't show much affection to Mingzhu, she didn't give her a cold face.
He nodded, indicating that she could leave with Qi Ranxin.
Of course, Qi Ranxin didn't want to leave. She was so angry that her big eyes bulged like a goldfish. However, Yu Mingzhu whispered something in her ear, and Qi Ranxin immediately calmed down. Then, she followed Yu Mingzhu out obediently.
"Sigh, it's all my fault for not disciplining him properly. I've let Miss Gong see a joke."
After they left, Xiao Wangfei said apologetically.
After all, one should not wash one's dirty linen in public. Unfortunately, Qi Ranxin really did not know the rules.
Lin Mengya didn't care. She comforted Princess Xiao with a few words, but the topic turned back to the two men.
"Princess, you don't have to be so polite with me. If you don't mind, you can call me Gong Ya."
Princess Xiao nodded her head, but when she saw Gu Pan, she didn't seem very happy.
"Princess, what's wrong?"
"It's all because of those two fellows! Is it reasonable for a dove to occupy a magpie's nest? "
Originally, Gu Pan didn't care much about the title of the princess. However, she was born in such a family, so she really couldn't do anything about it.
Unexpectedly, the thing that she couldn't avoid became the reason for being hated by others. In fact, she felt a lot of grievances in her heart.
It was a pity that no one could understand her even if she said it out.
"Sigh, you're not at home all year round, so you naturally don't know these things. I know you don't want to be the princess. But child, even if you don't want to be the princess, countless people will fight to be the princess. At that time, when they take over the princess, the first person they will deal with will be you. "
Princess Xiao's words showed that she was really thinking about Gu Pan.
Unfortunately, it seemed that Gu Pan couldn't understand it at the moment.
Lin Mengya knew what Gu Pan was thinking about. They were really the same in some aspects.
They were forced to stay away from their true feelings, and they also had to accept the fate that others forced on them.
But Lin Mengya was luckier than Gu Pan in that she was a little more proactive in these things.
"Princess, you're right. Your Highness, I don't know why you don't like to be the princess. But this identity is destined for you when you're born. If you keep running away, you'll be harmed in the end. It's better to take the initiative. To put it bluntly, identity is a kind of background, but sometimes it can also be a kind of tool. "
She knew that Gu Pan couldn't bear to hear these words now, but she still had to say what should be said.
Princess Xiao listened and nodded repeatedly. She felt that Gong Ya seemed to be her bosom friend.
But Gu Pan felt that her friend had betrayed her, so she turned around and left.
Lin Mengya was about to chase after her, but was stopped by the princess.
"It's okay. She'll be fine in a while. Sometimes, she's just a child. I like her, but I'm worried. "
Xiao Wangfei looked at the door with motherly love.
But Lin Mengya was sure that the princess had never told Gu Pan her true feelings.
In such a big mansion, one was a poor child who had lost her mother, and the other was a woman who had no children and lost her husband's love.
She can now understand why Princess Xiao was so interested in Gu Pan.
People who were in the same predicament would always have a special appreciation for each other.
"In the future, when you're by her side, remind her often. This child was very smart, but his temperament was a little unstable. You, on the other hand, are really beyond my expectations. "
Lin Mengya didn't know how to answer Princess Xiao's words.
But she knew that all feelings were not without reason.
She naturally accepted the princess's kindness, and naturally, she had to give something in return.
In adult relationships, most of the relationships were based on mutual benefits.
It wasn't realistic, but it was the most common.
"Do you know Miss Yu?"
Lin Mengya didn't expect Princess Xiao's question.
But she still nodded. After all, the matter between the Gong and the Yu family was very noisy.
Whether it was the Ma family or Prince Xiao, they must have received the news.
"Do you know why she came to Dragon City with Ran Xin?"
Lin Mengya had already guessed a little about this, but she didn't show it in front of Princess Xiao.
But Princess Xiao didn't mean to test her, so she continued.
"She came for the position of the Crown Princess."
Indeed, the position of the Crown Princess was the safest and closest way to becoming the Crown Prince.
But didn't they say that with Yu Mingzhu's status, it was impossible for her to become the Crown Princess?
What could she do now?
Lin Mengya hesitated for a while and then said.
"Whether Miss Yu can become the Crown Princess or not depends on her fate with the Crown Prince. If it was because of those boring rumors that caused the princess to misunderstand, then it was my fault. In fact, the Crown Prince has nothing to do with me. He summoned me here to ask about the situation of the Gong family. "
The fact that she would not be the Crown Prince's Consort was already set in stone.
Since the Emperor and the Crown Prince were ready to recognize her as the head of the family, they would definitely not keep her here.
Instead of letting her be a useless Crown Princess, it was better to train her to be one of their helpers.
But Princess Xiao didn't think so.
"Maybe it's because of this, but your appearance on the imperial edict will make you the number one enemy for those women who want to become the Crown Princess. Don't underestimate Yu Mingzhu. Even I find her scheming and means troublesome. Otherwise, I wouldn't have allowed her to stir up trouble in Princess Xiao's house and disturb our peace! "
It turned out that Princess Xiao was not being generous, but she was a little afraid of Yu Mingzhu.
She was really powerful.
"Are you a little … too cautious, Your Highness? No matter how powerful Miss Yu is, how can she stir up trouble in the Prince's Mansion with her family background? "
When Princess Xiao saw her skeptical look, she had no choice but to helplessly say.
"You don't know her means. In fact … I was pregnant half a year ago. But do you know why my child is gone? "
She didn't expect that.
Could it be that Yu Mingzhu did it?
"My period has always been irregular, and I found out about my child by accident. But it was too late at that time. In order to regulate my period, I had already taken the medicine to remove the stasis. Even the doctor said that he wasn't sure whether it was a miscarriage or because of the medicine. But I know that it was my carelessness that caused my only child to disappear from this world. "
Now, Lin Mengya seemed to be able to feel Princess Xiao's sadness and regret at that time.
For any mother, there was nothing more cruel than suddenly knowing that she had a child, only to find out that the child had been killed by her own hands.
But what she couldn't figure out was why Princess Xiao was so calm and even tolerated the existence of Yu Mingzhu.
"You must also want to know why I suspected Yu Mingzhu, but couldn't do anything to her, right? On the second day after my miscarriage, a concubine of the prince committed adultery with her lover, but they were caught in bed on the spot. His Highness was enraged and killed the man and woman. But the concubine's courtyard was next to mine. Until now, I still can't forget the way Yu Mingzhu looked at those two people. "
Princess Xiao's pupils contracted, and even her hands curled up.
Lin Mengya could clearly see that the emotion in Princess Xiao's eyes was fear!
"She is warning me. She has a way to ruin the couple's lives, and she has a way to kill me. It doesn't matter if I die or not. But I must not be defeated by her! So I hope you can help me. "
It was hard for Lin Mengya to imagine how Princess Xiao survived every day in Prince Yu's Mansion.
