The princess is a flirt, and the prince loves her dearly

The street outside the Prime Minister's Mansion was crowded with people, and carriages and sedan chairs were coming and going in an endless stream.

At this time, Jiang Wan was wearing men's clothes, with her hair tied up in a high bun, and wandering around the street with a folding fan in her hand.

She sat down casually at a street corner stall, ordered a pot of good tea, and sipped it slowly, with her ears perked up, listening to the idle gentlemen like her discussing which daughter was the most beautiful, the best, and whom they most wanted to marry.

As she was talking, she came to the topic of the Marquis' Mansion. She first sighed, and then said that she, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis' Mansion, was so despised that she was even worse than her cousin from her uncle's family. It really brought shame to Jiang Minghe.

Just as he was talking, a voice said, "Hey! Here it comes!"

When everyone looked back, they saw the carriage that indicated the status of the Marquisate parked in front of the Prime Minister's residence.

Jiang Yingxue slowly stepped down from the carriage with the help of her maid. She was wearing a light blue long dress with butterfly patterns. Her hair was tied up with a tassel hairpin of the same color and dotted with a few pearls. Her elegant makeup made her look like an inviolable fairy.

The outfit looks simple but is polite and will not steal the limelight from today's host.

Looking at Jiang Shuyue, she was wearing a cute pink long dress, with heavy makeup, and too many accessories on her hair. There was no comparison between the two.

Jiang Wan picked up the tea to hide the curled corners of his mouth, and complained in his heart: Green leaves set off the red flowers, and unconsciously he also felt that he was very beautiful. We are from the same mother, but it's just like this.

He suppressed the sarcasm in his eyes and looked up. The two people were respectfully welcomed into the prime minister's residence and their figures gradually disappeared.

In the past, she was in poor health, and after a serious illness, she became withdrawn and unwilling to contact too many people.

Whenever there was a banquet, Li would decline on the grounds that she was not feeling well.

While politely declining, she would also mention how good Jiang Yingxue was to her.

Under Li's promotion, Jiang Wan and Jiang Yingxue were like real sisters.

What followed was that since Jiang Wan could not be invited, due to the relationship with the Marquis' Mansion, they would take the initiative to invite Jiang Yingxue.

Over time, Jiang Yingxue became more and more famous, and she was indispensable at various banquets.

As for Jiang Wan, she was mentioned by others because she was not feeling well and was recuperating.

Of course, the family of parasites is not qualified to attend a formal palace banquet.

They were not qualified and would not let Jiang Wan go, and they still declined on the grounds of being unwell.

After regaining his consciousness, Jiang Wan took out the silver coins and placed them on the table. He drank the last sip of tea in the cup and then stood up and left.

In the backyard of the prime minister's residence, Chu Yu stared at Jiang Yingxue's slow steps with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

In the past, her father always told her how upright and good a person Jiang Minghe was, and that he had saved her family.

As a colleague, Prime Minister Chu admired him.

The Prime Minister's wife was also good friends with Su Yuyan.

When she was young, the two families were good friends, and she played with Jiang Wan a lot.

However, everything changed after Jiang Minghe went missing and Su Yuyan went looking for her husband.

The Marquis's mansion was occupied openly, what could outsiders like them do?

Besides, with the letter left by Su Yuyan, outsiders like them have no way of getting involved in other people’s affairs.

This is also the reason why the Li family only dared to cause trouble in the mansion and plot against Jiang Wan, letting her suffer the consequences and die as a result of her own actions.

If it doesn't cause trouble outside the house, it's a family matter. If it does cause trouble outside the house, it's only her own fault and she can't blame anyone else.

Chu Yuning suppressed the disgust in her eyes. Due to her status, she couldn't do anything against the rules.

Naturally, these noble ladies looked down on Jiang Yingxue, a nameless and statusless person who only knew how to rely on others' status.

But... there are also people without brains.

After Jiang Yingxue congratulated her, the young ladies came forward eagerly.

"Miss Jiang is here. I miss you so much after not seeing you for so many days." Zhang Huilin, the wife of the Minister of Rites, came forward with a sweet smile.

Jiang Yingxue acted like a lady from a noble family but gentle and approachable, and said with a smile: "I heard that Miss Zhang went to Suzhou to enjoy the scenery, which made us very envious."

"Yes! Yes!"

There are always sparrows willing to gather together in a nest, and they all start chirping.

Chu Yuning glanced at the people surrounding Jiang Yingxue and sneered in her heart: They just heard some news and wanted to curry favor with her. Don’t you think it’s too early when they haven’t even touched upon each other yet?

"What is Ning'er thinking about?"

Chu Yuning smiled and said, "Nothing much. By the way, the lotus flowers in the lotus pond are blooming beautifully. I'll take you to see them."

"Great! I heard a long time ago that you got a new lotus with two stems. It's said to be very difficult to grow, but I didn't expect you to be able to grow it alive."

"That's right. Sister Ning'er loves flowers the most. Just because we can't keep them alive doesn't mean that Sister Ning'er can't either."

The voices of praise surrounding Chu Yuning gradually faded away. Jiang Yingxue looked at their departing figures, with jealousy and resentment flashing in her eyes.

She always knew that they looked down on her.

She hated it. Why was it so difficult for her to get something that was so easily available to them?

"Miss Jiang, I heard that the Third Prince has been very close to you recently."

At this point, Jiang Yingxue showed a shy smile on her face, "The Third Prince is just showing me favor."

Seeing this, Jiang Shuyue's eyes flickered. She quietly left the crowd and strolled around.

only……

He strolled here and looked there, extremely anxious, but he didn't see any trace of Xiao Beichen.

However, her anxious look was noticed by many people.

Chu Yu suppressed his disgust, walked forward with a faint smile and asked: "Miss Jiang, what happened? If you need help, please let me know."

The handkerchief in Jiang Shuyue's hand was wrinkled. She was so anxious but couldn't say it clearly, so she could only send Chu Yuning away on the grounds that she was lost and tired.

She said she was sending her away, but with a smart mind like Chu Yuning, how could she not guess that she was worried?

Today is her birthday, Jiang Shuyue better not do anything weird, otherwise... she is not a pushover!

After signaling the maid to keep a close eye on Jiang Shuyue, he returned to the group of young ladies he knew and chatted with them.
