But from beginning to end, Lin Mengya's attention was entirely on the remaining person.
Yu Mingzhu, the girl who is held in the palm of the hand by the head of the Yu family, is also a girl who is almost chosen by the Gong family as a candidate for the head of the family.
She was able to rely on her own methods to go from a little-known family to her current position. Her scheming skills are also very powerful.
Take what happened just now as an example. It was obviously related to her, but she didn't help.
Not even a look of resentment was cast towards him.
He just sat quietly next to Qi Ranxin, as if he was Qi Ranxin's foil.
But from just a few words, Lin Mengya could tell that Qi Ranxin was not a master who could use these methods.
She couldn't use such clever tricks as frame-up, so Lin Mengya could almost conclude that the strategist behind Qi Ranxin, who was also her right helper, must be Yu Mingzhu.
If you don’t have the brains to imitate others in playing house fighting, you will be afraid that in the end, you will be sold to others without even knowing it.
However, that is Qi Ranxin's own business and has nothing to do with her, Lin Mengya.
"Okay, Ran Xin is ignorant, Miss Gong, don't be angry."
Qi Ranxin was angrily and wanted to say something, but at this time, Princess Xiao slowly spoke, intercepting Qi Ranxin's words.
Lin Mengya shook her head at Madam and replied with a smile.
"Madam, you are too worried. Miss Ran is just a childish talker. If I argue with Miss Ran, wouldn't that be a joke? Besides, the princess and I hit it off at first sight, and we will definitely come and go frequently in the future, Miss Ran, but
You just want to make a joke on me."
Princess Xiao did not respond to her, but the expression on her face said it all.
Princess Xiao definitely didn't like Qi Ranxin.
And given Miss Ran's personality, she must be a doting and proud master.
Sure enough, when Qi Ranxin saw them teasing her like this, she was about to have a fit.
But Yu Mingzhu, who was next to her, held her back at the most critical moment.
"Ran Xin, I remember that when you first arrived, didn't you say you were a little dizzy? I think you got cold on the road, right? Princess, Mingzhu wants to take Ran Xin down to have a rest. I wonder if that's possible?"
Although Princess Xiao didn't show much warmth towards Mingzhu, she didn't give her a cold face either.
He nodded and indicated that she could leave with Qi Ranxin.
Qi Ranxin was naturally unwilling to leave, and her big eyes were as angry as a goldfish, but Yu Mingzhu was in her ear and said something unknown, and Qi Ranxin immediately calmed down, and then, obediently
and went out with her.
"Alas, it was my lax discipline that made Miss Gong laugh."
After they left, Princess Xiao felt a little sorry said.
After all, family scandals should not be made public, but it's a pity that Qi Ranxin really doesn't understand the rules.
Lin Mengya didn't care and comforted Princess Xiao for a few words, but the topic turned back to those two people.
"Princess, there is really no need to be so polite to me. If you don't mind, just call me Gong Ya."
Princess Xiao nodded in agreement, but she seemed unhappy when she saw Gu Pan.
"Princess, what's wrong with you?"
"Why don't you let those two guys make me angry? Is it still reasonable for the dove to occupy the magpie's nest?"
Gu Pan originally didn't care much about the position of princess, but with her background, she really had a lot of helplessness.
But she didn't expect that the thing she couldn't hide from even if she wanted to, actually became the reason for being hated. In fact, she also felt a lot of grievances in her heart.
It's a pity that no one else can understand it if I tell it.
"Well, you're not at home all year round, so naturally you don't know these things. I know that you don't want to be the princess, but my child, even if you don't do it right, there will be countless people competing for your head. When the time comes, they will take the title of the princess.
As for the position, the first one to deal with is you."
From these words of Princess Xiao, it can be seen that she is really thinking about Gu Pan.
It's a pity that the girl seemed unable to turn around for a while.
Lin Mengya knew what Gu Pan was thinking, and the two of them were exactly the same in some places.
The same is forced to stay away from one's true aspirations, and the same has to accept the fate forced on oneself by others.
But one thing she is luckier than Gu Pan is that she is more proactive about these things.
"The princess is absolutely right, princess, I don't know why you don't like being the princess. However, this identity is destined for you from birth. If you blindly avoid it, you will suffer the consequences in the end. It is better to take the initiative to master identity.
, to put it bluntly, it is just a background, but sometimes, it can also become a tool."
She knew that Gu Pan couldn't bear to hear these words now, but she still had to say what needed to be said.
Princess Xiao nodded repeatedly when she heard this, feeling that Gong Ya seemed to be her soulmate.
But Gu Pan felt as if his friend had betrayed him, so he turned around and left.
Lin Mengya just wanted to chase her, but was stopped by the princess.
"It's okay. She'll be fine after a while. This child has a childish personality sometimes. I like it but I'm worried about it."
Princess Xiao looked at the door with motherly love in her eyes.
But Lin Mengya was sure that the princess had never told Gu Pan her true feelings.
In the huge palace, one is a poor child who has lost his mother, and the other is a woman who has no children and has lost the love of her husband.
She could understand why Princess Xiao was so interested in Gu Pan.
People who have fallen apart from each other are always very sympathetic to each other.
"From now on, when you are by her side, remind her from time to time. This child is very smart, but his temperament is a bit unsteady. But you, on the other hand, are really beyond my expectations."
Lin Mengya didn't know how to answer Princess Xiao's words.
But she knows that all feelings are not without reason.
Naturally, she accepted the princess' kindness, and naturally she had to pay something.
In adult relationships, most of them are relationships of mutual benefit.
It's far from realistic, but it's the most common.
"Miss Li, do you know her?"
Lin Mengya didn't think about the princess's question.
But she still nodded, after all, the affairs between Gong and Yu's family were causing quite a stir.
Whether it's the Ma family or Prince Xiao, they must have gotten the news.
"Do you know why she came to Longdu with Ran Xin?"
Regarding this point, Lin Mengya had already guessed a little bit, but she still didn't show off too much in front of Princess Xiao.
However, Princess Xiao did not mean to test her, so she continued.
"She came here for the position of Crown Princess."
Indeed, if you want to become a concubine, the position of Crown Princess is the safest and closest way.
But didn’t I say before that with Yu Mingzhu’s status, there was no way she could become the Crown Princess?
Now, what can she do?
After a slight hesitation, Lin Mengya spoke.
"Whether Miss Yu can become the Crown Princess depends on whether she has a good relationship with the Crown Prince. If the Princess misunderstood because of those boring rumors before, then it is my fault. In fact, the Crown Prince is more important to me.
, it has nothing to do with it. You can summon me here just to inquire about the situation of the Gong family."
It is almost certain that she will not be the Crown Princess.
Since the Emperor and the Queen are ready to recognize her as the head of the family, they will definitely not leave her here again.
Rather than letting her be a useless princess, it is better to train her to become one of his own hands.
But Princess Xiao didn't think so. "Maybe it's because of this, but you appear in the imperial edict. For those women who are determined to aspire to be the crown prince, you are the number one enemy. Don't underestimate Yu Mingzhu, her scheming
Even I find it troublesome with her methods. Otherwise, I would not let her continue to make trouble with Princess Xiao and disturb the family!"
It turns out that Princess Xiao is not generous, but is a little afraid of Mingzhu.
This man is quite powerful.
"Is the princess a little too cautious? No matter how powerful Miss Yu is, how can she go to the palace to cause trouble with her background?"
Seeing her doubtful expression, Princess Xiao had no choice but to say helplessly.
"You don't know her tricks. In fact, I was pregnant half a year ago. But do you know why my child was gone?"
I didn't expect this.
Is it possible that it was made by Yu Mingzhu?
"My menstruation has always been irregular. My child, I only discovered it accidentally. But at that time, it was too late. In order to regulate my menstruation, I had already taken medicine to relieve stasis. Even the doctor said that he was not sure.
I had a miscarriage, and it was probably because of the medicine I took. But I know that it was my carelessness that caused my only child to disappear from this world."
Now it sounds like Lin Mengya can still feel Princess Xiao's sadness and regret at that time.
For any mother, nothing is more cruel than suddenly finding out that she has a child, only to find that she has strangled it with her own hands.
But what she couldn't figure out was why Princess Xiao was so calm and could even tolerate Yu Mingzhu's existence?
"You must also want to know why I suspected Yu Mingzhu, but I couldn't do anything about her, right? The day after I gave birth, one of the prince's concubines committed adultery with her lover, but was caught
He caught the adulterer in bed on the spot. The prince was furious and killed the man and woman directly. However, the concubine's yard was next to my yard. Until now, I have no choice but to forget about Yu Mingzhu and look at the two people.
eyes."
Princess Xiao's eyes tightened, and she even curled up her hands.
Lin Mengya could clearly see that the emotion in Princess Xiao's eyes was fear!
"She was warning me. If she had a way to ruin the lives of that couple, she would have a way to kill me. What does it matter whether I die or not? But I must not lose in her hands! So!
,I hope you can help me."
Lin Mengya really couldn't imagine how Princess Xiao survived every day in the palace.
"Princess, it's not that I can't help you, but I still don't quite understand why Yu Mingzhu has such great abilities? He can even control everything in the palace."
