Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess-Chapter 949 - To Pay a Visit to the Princess
Chapter 949 To Pay a Visit to the Princess
Lin Mengya put the teacup on the table casually, and the four maidservants beside her also knew what was happening.
However, a gloating look appeared on their faces.
If this had happened in the past, they might have jumped up in anxiety.
But now among these ladies, who was a match for them?
They stared at each other and saw a teasing look in each other’s eyes.
It seemed that the sideshow before the Lunar New Year was really good.
“Princess, a few madams in the Capital City, as well as their daughters, came to visit you. But they told me that you are living here temporarily, so they went to visit Princess Linlang first. And Princess Linlang also came with them.”
Tian Ning could be considered the outer steward of the mansion. There was almost no one knew that he was the son of her wet nurse except those close to her.
Tian Ning must have suffered due to those madams, so his face darkened.
Besides, it was obvious that they were here to target his brother-in-law. He was trying hard to prevent himself from kicking them out.
However, when he saw that the servants in Lin Mengya’s courtyard seemed to be waiting for those people on purpose, he felt relieved.
Yeah, how could he have forgotten that the princess was not an ordinary person?
“Princess Linlang, I heard that when you were in the Yun State, you are already a well-known model lady. Upon seeing you, we feel that you are really extraordinary.”
Outside the Liuxin Courtyard, Su Linlang looked at the noblewomen around her indifferently, who were trying their best to please her.
She listened to the topics that she was not interested in at all with flagging interest, but she was thinking about the ending of their visit later.
As she rolled her beautiful eyes, the gloating look hidden in the depths of her eyes was always revealed inadvertently.
In recent days, she had witnessed Lin Mengya’s means of dealing with people and affairs several times.
This group of women was just a piece of cake for her.
“I’ve long heard that the Liuxin Courtyard taken care of by the former princess is fabulous in the Capital City. I wonder if we’re lucky enough to have the chance to visit it with you and broaden our horizons today.”
A madam wearing gold and silver jewelry, who was gorgeously dressed like a rooster, smiled obsequiously.
Nevertheless, she would frequently shoot a glance at the dark red gates of the Liuxin Courtyard.
It was so luxurious and exquisite that even the inner courtyard of the palace could not compare with it.
If one day her daughter could be the hostess of the palace, everything here would definitely belong to her family.
Su Linlang glanced at the empty inner courtyard and certainly knew that Lin Mengya was trying to play a trick on these people.
She pretended to be somewhat embarrassed at the moment, rubbed her glabella, and said, “That’s indeed a good place. But, Princess Rong’an from the Nation of Lintian has been living there these days. The princess has a bad temper and likes doing things in an ostentatious way. I’m not going to get myself in trouble. I think you’d better not provoke her.”
Princess Linlang, who had been virtuous, strong-willed and tolerant, had finally been led astray by Lin Mengya, who was a black-hearted devil.
Everyone in the mansion knew that she was very close to Lin Mengya. 𝗳𝗿𝐞ℯ𝙬𝗲𝗯n𝗼νel.𝒄𝑜𝘮
The two of them felt like old friends at first sight and would get together as soon as they were not busy.
In the end, the prince had no choice but to join hands with Sheng Nankun, who had been staying indoors to wear his hair long recently, to keep them apart.
However, the princess’s tone sounded as if she were at odds with Lin Mengya.
The maidservants behind her all lowered their heads and curled their lips.
“The princess is going to play a trick on them!”
“Hey, does she really think she is somebody? She’s just an impoverished princess from a foreign country on the sea. She is certainly not as honorable as you. Moreover, Princess Linlang is the prince’s cousin after all. She’s obviously not respecting the prince by doing this. Princess Linlang, even if you can suffer from that, we can’t bear to see you suffer like that.”
The madam dressed like a rooster spoke to stir up trouble. She looked so indignant as if she were really defending Su Linlang.
However, Su Linlang craftily remained silent. She did not say such words, so when others talked about what happened today in the future, it had nothing to do with her, right?
But Su Linlang’s smile without a word would become a silent encouragement in those people’s eyes.
The madam dressed like a rooster was the most active person to visit the mansion today. If she hadn’t been fanning the flames, those people might not have had the courage to do so.
She was so complacent now, but she would be stunned soon.
They were about to push the gates of the Liuxin Courtyard open and rush in, when they suddenly heard a sharp voice behind them.
“Who dares to block my way! If you delay my business, you won’t be able to bear the consequences!”
Anyone with common sense would know what kind of people such a voice belonged to.
Those madams and ladies immediately quieted down and turned to the source of the voice.
A middle-aged fair-skinned man, in a vermilion eunuch uniform, wore an arrogant look on his beardless face.
Behind him were two rows of young eunuchs in grey, a total of twelve people, who were respectfully holding exquisite boxes in their hands.
If they were not mistaken, there seemed to be bright red wedding dresses in the boxes.
Moreover, the pattern of the dancing phoenix was painted with gold threads on the dresses.
Those were the dresses only allowed to be worn at the wedding of the emperor and the empress!
The eunuchs swaggered through the crowd, not even sparing them a glance.
However, in front of the gates of the Liuxin Courtyard, the eunuchs smiled broadly.
“Please report to the princess that the steward of the Ministry of Internal Order asks to see her.”
The Ministry of Internal Order was in charge of all affairs of the harem.
The bright red dresses in the boxes had already shown the new emperor’s affection for Princess Rong’an.
The official wife and also empress.
Moreover, since the Ministry of Internal Order had made the wedding dresses, the new emperor’s empress must be Princess Rong’an.
Su Linlang watched, with interest, the group of people stunned. They were really greedy.
When the new emperor was fighting against the rebels, most of these women’s husbands remained silent.
But when they saw that the new emperor had no women by his side, especially no empress, they were all scrambling to send their daughters here.
This matter would probably not come to an end so easily.
“Mr. Xu, please come in.”
Hearing the voice, the gatekeeper came out. Even though she was just an old woman in her fifties, her every move showed that she served the royal family.
There was a polite smile on her face, with a touch of alienation and indifference.
She straightened up, and even in front of Mr. Xu, she was neither obsequious nor supercilious.
Compared with those restless women, the old gatekeeper seemed to be much nobler.
“Thank you. After you.”
The smile on Mr. Xu’s face became brighter. When he came to the mansion for the first time, he already found that the servants in the Liuxin Courtyard were different.
He glanced coldly at the gorgeously dressed madams and ladies. He had stayed in the palace for more than 30 years and had sharp eyes.
Seeing the new emperor’s look before Princess Rong’an, he knew that no other woman in the world could attract the new emperor’s attention.
How could these ordinary women be compared to Princess Rong’an?
“Madams, let’s go in too.”
After witnessing the scene, some timid ones had already decided to retreat.
But how could Su Linlang let them go so easily? Standing behind them deliberately, she had already blocked their way out with a modest smile.
It was a gentle smile, but these madams and ladies felt something wrong with such a smile.
Little did they know that Su Linlang had set a trap for them and was waiting for them to jump in.
The gates of the Liuxin Courtyard were open, but in the eyes of these madams, it was like the door of hell.
Su Linlang did not urge them when she saw them hesitate.
She coughed softly and then pretended to say casually, “I’ve heard that the princess of the Nation of Lintian hates rude people the most. Since we’ve come here, how could we not enter? What’s more, she’s the real hostess of the mansion. Since you came to visit me, you should visit the princess by the way. Otherwise, she will say that I’m not a polite guest.”
Her words made several madams and ladies break out in a cold sweat.
They had heard that Princess Rong’an looked greatly similar to the former Princess Yu. That was why Prince Yu adored her.
But no one told them that Prince Yu had already decided on the empress!
Thinking that Princess Rong’an might have heard their words to please Princess Linlang, they suddenly regretted it.
“It’s over. I’m afraid that my daughter’s future will be ruined from now on.”
No matter what they were thinking about, they had to see the princess.
The group of people walked slowly into the courtyard. As soon as they bypassed the screen wall, they heard crying coming from inside.
“Princess, please spare me! I won’t do it again! Please!”
Those cries sounded extremely mournful.
Even Su Linlang was shocked, but she recognized the voice immediately. It sounded like the voice of a second-class servant girl named Cuizhu in the Liuxin Courtyard.
Strangely, this girl was intelligent and loyal, so she was especially favored by Lin Mengya.
Why was she crying so mournfully today?
She led those madams to the door of the main room deftly.
Cuizhu was kneeling on the ground in fear, wearing only a thin piece of clothing.
Not to mention that her hairpins were in a mess, her face was also swollen. At this moment, she was lying on the ground, crying and begging.
“Pah, you ignorant wench. If you damage the princess’ wedding dress, you won’t even be able to compensate for it with your hands! How dare you cry here! Are all of you dead? If she keeps crying like this and ruins the princess’ good mood, all of you will be punished as well!”
Under the eaves of the main room, a girl in a pale pinkish purple dress was putting one hand on her waist and pointing at Cuizhu, who was crying in front of her, with the other hand.
Su Linlang’s heart skipped a beat. Was the girl, who was better at cursing than those old maidservants in the palace, Baizhi, the naive and lovely girl who went to try the food in the kitchen every day?
Why did she feel that there was something wrong?
