🐇💗Extra chapter #5 dedicated to Caitlin 💗🐇
On this day, the Aunt from the palace went to the door of the Marquis Mansion and presented the invitation.
The invitation is for Jiang Ning, inviting Miss Jiang to the palace to attend the flower-viewing banquet.
"Is there someone from the palace?"
The old lady was particularly surprised. It had been a long time since the palace had sent an invitation to the Marquis Mansion. It was a great honor to be invited to the flower viewing party, but the old lady couldn't figure out why Jiang Ning was invited.
Jiang Ning had just arrived at the Marquis Mansion not long ago and was unknown to anyone. If anyone was invited, it would have been Jiang Mengyue.
The old lady didn't think about it anymore and at the same time, she breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was A'ning who was invited.
If it was Jiang Mengyue, the rebellious girl, it would be a pity that she would not have this good opportunity to enter the palace.
Jiang Ning was also surprised when she received the invitation to the flower viewing banquet. She did not receive an invitation in her previous life, but in this life, she received an invitation, and it was from the Empress.
"Miss, the old lady asks you to come over." The Aunt beside the old lady said respectfully, her attitude became more respectful.
At first, none of the servants paid any compliments, but gradually, as Jiang Ning occupied an important position in the mansion and won the old lady's heart, the servants all changed their minds.
Although the young lady had just been brought back not long ago, the fact that she was able to receive an invitation from the palace was enough to show her importance.
Jiang Ning followed her grandma to Qingxin Courtyard.
When the old lady saw Jiang Ning, her face became kinder than before, "An Ning, come and sit next to grandma."
"Did you receive an invitation from the palace?"
"Yes." Jiang Ning replied calmly.
"Okay, you'll go to the palace to attend the flower-viewing banquet. It is the honor of the Marquis Mansion. You must behave well." The old lady attaches great importance to this matter. She is afraid that Jiang Ning will not perform well. After all, she was brought back from the countryside.
"I've asked Aunt Zhang to teach you etiquette these days. You must follow and learn it well."
Jiang Ning did not refuse and complied.
She had learned etiquette in her previous life, and she worked hard to learn it in order to keep up with the noble ladies of the aristocratic family, but the old lady never looked at her.
Now she held her in the palm of her hand.
Without Jiang Mengyue, she would be the best chess piece in the Marquis Mansion.
She had seen through the thoughts of the old lady and Lord Jiang, and no matter what these two people do, she would never open her heart again.
Jiang Ning learned etiquette from Aunt Zhang, and Grandma Zhang was surprised. The young lady was smart and capable, and she did everything very well. She was like a young lady from an aristocratic family who had been well-educated since she was a child, and her every move exuded nobility.
Aunt Zhang went to report to the old lady.
After hearing this, the old lady nodded with a smile, "She is worthy of the blood of the Marquis family, and she is as smart and wise as the Jiang family."
The old lady was so happy that she was given a set of luxurious headdress and a box of gold and precious jewelry.
"Wow, miss, the old lady gave you a lot of jewelry..." Chunlan's eyes widened when she saw the jewelry, "Second young lady has never received so many rewards from the old lady. The old lady still loves the young lady more."
Jiang Ning looked at a box of gold and precious jewelry and just smiled lightly.
"This is not for me, it is the face of the Marquis family. The old lady hopes that I will wear these jewelry when I go out to make the Marquis family look good."
It’s time for the flower viewing party.
Jiang Ning got on the carriage and prepared to go to the palace for the banquet.
She had only entered the palace once in her previous life, so she was a little nervous. As long as she didn't cause trouble and could attend the flower viewing party calmly, she would be fine.
Jiang Ning leaned against the car wall and closed her eyes to rest.
The carriage drove smoothly. After driving for a while, the entrance to the palace could be seen in the distance.
Suddenly the carriage stopped and there was no movement for a long time.
Jiang Ning opened her eyes and asked the Jiang family's coachman, "What's wrong? Why aren't we moving?"
"Miss..." the coachman's weak voice came, "our carriage is blocked, it seems to be a nobleman's carriage."
There are gates for carriages traveling in the capital. Those with lower status must give way to those with higher status, and those with lower status must give way to those with higher status.
Jiang Ning opened a corner of the curtain and took a look. The road was spacious, and it was more than enough for two or three carriages to pass by. However, the luxurious carriage next to it had to drive over and squeeze into one place.
Jiang Ning frowned slightly, "Whose carriage?"
"It seems to be the carriage of the county prince's palace." the coachman replied.
The County Prince's Palace... Jiang Ning suddenly thought of the arrogant Princess Hualian. Princess Hualian once attacked her in the street and almost hurt her. She barely escaped, and then she taught Princess Hualian a lesson in the dark.
Enemies met again on a narrow road.
Princess Hualian still doesn't know who tricked her. She was almost sold, and her guards searched the entire capital, but they couldn't find the thief who kidnapped her.
Princess Hualian was angry, but she couldn't catch the thief, so she had to give up.
Today, when she came to attend the flower-viewing banquet in the palace, I saw the carriage of the Marquis Mansion on the road. Princess Hualian's heart rose with anger and she ordered in a cold voice, "Stay closer!"
How dare a young daughter of a noble family dare to walk in front of her?
She wanted that woman to lose face, let her know that the gap in status was as high as a ditch, and she still wanted to steal Lord Chu from her?
"Princess, do you want to go over there? The street is wide enough to drive by..."
"Just do it and stop talking nonsense!"
The coachman did not dare to disobey and drove the carriage over, blocking the way of the Jiang family's carriage.
When the two carriages approached, Princess Hualian opened the curtain and said coldly, "Who is blocking my carriage?"
Jiang Ning heard the voice and knew it was Princess Hualian. It was indeed her.
The Jiang family coachman said, "Miss, this is Princess Hualian... Do you want to step out of the way?"
The status of the Prince's Mansion is higher than that of the Marquis' Mansion. If he blocks the carriage of the Prince's Mansion, he may offend Princess Hualian.
Jiang Ning's face was calm, but she had actually been offended a long time ago.
But it is better to do less than to do more. There is no need to compete for the limelight on such trivial matters.
She said calmly, "Then give way to them."
"Yes." The Jiang family's coachman drove the carriage aside to make way for Princess Hualian's carriage.
Princess Hualian took a step back when she saw the Marquis's carriage, and raised her chin arrogantly, "Huh, what does it mean to be a mere daughter of the Marquis's mansion? How can the light of a firefly compete with the bright moon?"
Jiang Ning heard Princess Hualian's voice and didn't feel angry. She sat calmly in the carriage and closed her eyes to rest.
The carriage from the County Prince's Mansion has to go by first.
Princess Hualian stared coldly at Jiang Ning's carriage, thought about it, and smiled coldly.
Jiang Ning sat quietly in the carriage, waiting for Princess Hualian's carriage to pass by first.
Suddenly, he felt a chill coming over him, and a long whip struck hard, and the direction of the blow was the Jiang family's carriage.
Shuangyue's ears and eyes were sensitive, and she reacted immediately, snatched the long whip from the coachman's hand, and hit it hard. The two whips were entangled in the air. Shuangyue used hard force and threw the whip aside.
If Shuangyue hadn't taken action in time, the whip would have fallen on the horse.
There will definitely be trouble by then.
Jiang Ning's face turned cold. She had already taken a step back and let Princess Hualian go first. Princess Hualian actually had such bad intentions and wanted to disturb her carriage.
If the horses are frightened, there will definitely be chaos.
