Especially when he saw Lin Mengya and the others, the corners of his mouth curled up and he smiled brightly.
"Isn't this Madam Lian and Mr. Su Mei? What a distinguished guest, please. "
Lin Mengya clearly saw a hint of evil in the man's eyes.
But she pretended not to notice it. She ordered someone to bring the gifts up and followed Madam Lian inside.
In fact, the Scholarly Garden was not small. Because it was a gift from Long Tianhao, it was extraordinarily exquisite.
After entering the courtyard, they saw a delicate two-story building.
There were two windows on each side of each floor. Regardless of the seasons, as long as they opened the windows, they could see the scenery outside, and it was different from each other.
Everyone thought it was for sightseeing, but they didn't know that below the Scholarly Garden was the main control center of the entire academy, so it was necessary to see the situation clearly.
But now, after seeing it, those madams were full of praise.
The first floor was a good place to view the scenery and receive guests, so the banquet was also held here.
Although the scenery outside was beautiful, they only knew what luxury was when they entered.
Not to mention that the ornaments were all rare treasures, pearls, agate, jade, and the like could only be considered common here.
It was just that those bonsai plants that didn't look very expensive were specially made by skilled craftsmen using the best materials.
At a glance, they were lifelike. When they got closer, they could even smell a faint fragrance, which was very surprising.
"Although the flowers are fake, the smell is not like fragrant dew or incense."
Some of the guests couldn't help but ask curiously. But the people around them didn't know what was going on.
Lin Mengya knew the reason, but she was too lazy to explain.
Sister Hui was also a little curious. She pulled her and asked in a low voice, "Miss Mei, do you know what's going on?"
"Nothing, it's just that the branches of these things are made of spices." As soon as she finished speaking, someone next to her asked.
"Made of spices? That's not possible. If the spices are not processed well, I'm afraid they can't have this smell. But if they are made into fragrant bait powder, how can they be used as branches? "
That person's question immediately attracted many people's attention.
Seeing the confusion in their eyes, Lin Mengya had to explain patiently.
"These things were made together with the spices when they were being concocted. The purpose of those spices was to infuse the aroma into the ingredients, so the method was a little different. After the concoction is successful, the spices will be discarded, and because these materials are soaked in the spices, they have this smell, and the materials are special, so they won't fade even after years. "
Hearing her explanation, everyone could not help but click their tongues in wonder.
Who would have thought that this seemingly inconspicuous little thing would actually have such ingenious ideas in it. It could be seen that the creator of this place was very ingenious.
The old maid waiting by the side couldn't help looking a little embarrassed after she finished explaining to the madams.
She still hadn't forgotten that the b * tch had said that she would chase them out.
The old maid said deliberately with a smile.
"This is also thanks to Mr. Su Mei's willingness to part with her. If it weren't for Mr. Su Mei, I'm afraid our princess would have been wronged."
Most of the people here didn't know what was going on, so those who knew the inside story told them that this courtyard was given to Su Mei by a male teacher in the academy.
Soon, everyone knew the news.
No wonder she knew the method of making these things just now.
But Su Mei represented the Gong Family. How could she be willing to give up such a house for the princess to live in?
Feeling the subtle look in everyone's eyes, Lin Mengya didn't care at all.
"It's just a courtyard, but it's time for these things to be repaired. The princess moved in in a hurry, so I forgot about it for a while. Ning Liang, take the register and move away all the things that need to be maintained. "
She smiled, as if she really just wanted to repair things, rather than embarrass the princess.
But the old maid's expression changed. Just when she was about to stop her, she found that the current situation was not right.
No matter how good the things were, they couldn't lose face.
"I also think that some things are too old."
"Yes, since the princess also thinks so, I can't be an eyesore, Your Highness."
The old maid gritted her teeth with hatred.
But she didn't know that with her little cultivation, she couldn't even defeat Lin Mengya's little finger.
Looking at these two people, the madams and ladies around couldn't help but have some doubts in their hearts.
Based on the character of Su Mei and the Gong Family, how could they give such a courtyard to the princess to live in?
Maybe the princess took a fancy to other people's things, so she forced to move in.
Immediately, they had a bad impression of the princess.
No matter how precious the things here were, they were not worth much money.
How could she achieve great things with such a shallow vision?
While everyone was speculating, several women came down from the second floor.
The old maid immediately greeted them and cleared her throat.
"The princess is here —"
Everyone stepped forward and saluted according to their ranks.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
"Don't be so polite. Everyone can be at ease."
The voice was soft, with a little girl's delicacy.
Lin Mengya looked up and saw that the so-called Princess was indeed very good-looking.
She was like a fairy walking on the waves, with a gentle and tranquil elegance in her fragile state.
She originally thought that the princess was a domineering person, otherwise how could she have such a servant?
But when she saw him today, she was indeed a little surprised.
"Everyone, please sit down. Today is a family banquet. Don't stand on ceremony."
The princess looked a little timid, but it was quite appropriate to deal with it.
She was like a new swallow coming out of the thatched cottage. Although she looked weak, people could see the dazzling feathers hidden on her back.
She was also like a jewel that had never been carved. Anyone who wanted to hide her and carve her carefully.
She was the complete opposite of her, but such a woman was easier to be admired and loved.
Lin Mengya just glanced at her and then lowered her eyes.
It was the Empress's intention to choose such a woman.
"Excuse me, which one is Mr. Su Mei?"
The princess looked around the guests and asked softly.
Lin Mengya didn't expect that she would ask her. She immediately stood up and said, "Your Highness, I am Su Mei."
When the princess saw her, she immediately showed a gentle smile.
"I have to thank Mr. Su Mei for giving up his treasure. Yueqin, bring up the gift I prepared."
Soon, the princess's maid brought up a brocade box.
The brocade box in the tray on the brocade mat looked more exquisite.
"Sir, please take a look and see if you like it."
Lin Mengya opened the box and there was a golden hairpin with a gem inside.
There were only red gems on it, but each of them was unique. Inlaid on the golden hairpin, it was indeed luxurious.
"This is just a little token of my appreciation. I heard that you haven't lived in this courtyard. But I didn't want my people to take it. I'm really sorry. Don't worry, sir. When I leave in the future, I will definitely ask someone to clean this place. But … it still can't make up for your regret. "
The princess's tone was very humble, as if she was really sorry for this matter.
But who was Lin Mengya? How could she be so easily fooled by her words?
If she really didn't want to take away someone else's love, why did she forcibly move in without her consent?
Wasn't it a little too late to pretend to apologize now?
But she couldn't say that. Otherwise, the princess's show of weakness would appear to be unreasonable.
Pretending to be a good person and weak, right? That was the best. She would pretend to be until the end!
"It's just a courtyard. It's a blessing that you're willing to live in it, Your Highness."
She closed the golden hairpin and smiled, as if she really didn't care about it at all.
"But I heard that you're not used to living here, and you also sent your mother to the mansion to say that she wants to live in the mansion. But I can't make a decision on this matter alone. In addition, there are men in the mansion. I'm afraid that you'll feel uncomfortable. If you're really not used to living here, we have another house outside. Why don't you move to the house, Your Highness? "
She didn't say anything about this matter before because she wanted to act up today.
The princess was a little surprised and glanced at the old maid.
The latter was a little flustered and immediately knelt on the ground.
"Please forgive me, Your Highness! It's all my own decision. I just felt that there were people coming and going in the college, and I was afraid to disturb your peace, so I mentioned it. Please forgive me, Your Highness. "
The princess's face turned a little ugly when she said this.
She bit her lip and said with tears in her eyes, as if she had suffered a lot of grievances.
"You … How can you be so reckless? I often tell you not to be ostentatious outside. Now I can't control you more and more. If so, all of you can leave. "
The rebuke with a faint sobbing tone seemed to have no strength at all.
Lin Mengya lowered her eyes and thought to herself, "Isn't this just acting for them?"
The old maid kowtowed again and again, saying that she wouldn't dare to do it again and begging the princess to spare her this time.
The female guests next to them also said something to keep up appearances.
But the princess seemed to have made up her mind and wiped the corners of her slightly red eyes with a handkerchief.
"You've been with me for so many years and have been loyal. But I really can't deal with you here. Anyway, you've offended the Gong Family, so I'll hand you over to the Gong Family to deal with. "
Lin Mengya was not surprised by the princess's words at all.
In the end, the ball was kicked to her.
Everyone was watching. Although Aunt Lian helped the Gong Family, she was the only one who could be regarded as a member of the Gong Family.
Didn't they want her to be a bad person?
