CHAPTER 703: CHAPTER 583

During the days when Lu Yuan and the Twelve Guards were not at the Crown Prince Mansion, Meng Qianqian was not idle either.

The reason was none other than the Princess Consort of Prince Fu feeling unwell.

She went to the Fu Prince Mansion every day to perform acupuncture for the Princess Consort of Prince Fu.

The Princess Consort was a gentle and quiet woman who didn’t like going out much, not even attending Lu Qi and Gongsun Liuying’s wedding.

"Your wedding, Fifth Sister-in-law is surely going."

Prince Ming said to Meng Qianqian.

He was on horseback, escorting Meng Qianqian’s carriage.

With the elder nephew away, he became a guard for his nephew’s wife.

Meng Qianqian smiled slightly.

Prince Ming realized: "I forgot you married that kid back in Great Zhou."

What a pity, couldn’t make trouble at his wedding; otherwise, he’d call out for his father.

Today Meng Qianqian also had to buy some spices, so she asked Prince Ming to return.

She wandered through the town with Tan’er and Ban Xia.

Unexpectedly, they encountered an uninvited guest.

"I wondered who it might be, such an eyesore from afar, turns out it’s you."

Lu Fengyin had just stepped off the carriage and showed off a significant amount of authority towards Meng Qianqian.

Immediately, another person stepped off the carriage, it was none other than Gongsun Liuying, the new wife from the Jin Prince Mansion.

Once arrogant and proud as the eldest daughter of the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion, now, to stabilize her position, she’s willing to become a side figure.

It shows that things like pride are just a matter of cost for some people.

"Greetings to the Eldest Princess."

Meng Qianqian acknowledged and saluted.

With the public watching, her conduct was impeccable.

Lu Yuan was very arrogant.

But the public would not criticize her.

Compared to Gongsun Liuying, who merely performed some charitable acts, Lu Yuan had the blood of the Great Liang Imperial Family in her veins and held military achievements for safeguarding the nation.

The public admired her.

Lu Fengyin let go, and the handkerchief fell to the ground.

She provocatively said to Meng Qianqian: "Please, Phoenix Girl, pick it up for me."

"Yes."

Meng Qianqian obediently picked up the handkerchief from the ground, gently dusted it off, and respectfully handed it to Lu Fengyin, "Eldest Princess."

Lu Fengyin’s smile froze: "Weren’t you quite bold in the Imperial Palace?"

Meng Qianqian smiled slightly: "Someone was backing me in the Imperial Palace."

"You—"

Lu Fengyin’s words were cut off by her, causing Lu Fengyin to choke heavily.

Lu Fengyin still wanted to trouble Meng Qianqian, but Meng Qianqian turned to the street and said to the public: "Dear fellow villagers, this is the Eldest Princess who has achieved great military accomplishments for the Great Liang. Today, she came out of the palace to observe public sentiment and see how your lives are."

The public instantly became excited, swarming around Lu Fengyin, bowing and saluting.

Meng Qianqian successfully extricated herself.

Ban Xia was dumbfounded.

The young lady was clearly not like this when she was in Great Zhou.

The young lady... the young lady... has become more flexible and adaptable. No, the young lady is more resourceful now.

The young lady is smarter... the young lady...

Ban Xia didn’t know how to praise the young lady anymore.

In short, the young lady has changed, but for the better, more reassuring.

Even the always impulsive Tan’er merely ate candied haws quietly without flipping out and hitting someone.

Tan’er has grown up too.

"What are you thinking?"

Meng Qianqian asked Ban Xia with a smile.

Ban Xia said embarrassedly: "Thinking... whether I will end up being unable to help the young lady... instead becoming a burden..."

They were all growing, except for her, still the same old Ban Xia.

Meng Qianqian softly said: "As long as Ban Xia is here, I’m very happy."

"Really?"

Tan’er quickly asked.

Meng Qianqian smiled: "You too, with you all here, I’m very at ease."

Tan’er grinned and hopped away happily.

Ban Xia felt a warmth in her eyes.

Meng Qianqian turned back, raising the pouch in her hand: "The pouch you embroidered, I’ve exchanged it for this."

Ban Xia wiped away her tears.

She is useful!
