The prince of love, the wealth has come to me

Soon, General Yuwen's mansion prepared a banquet and invited all the wives and daughters of officials in Shengjing. The invitation only said that it was a recognition ceremony and did not say anything else.

Most people were curious and came to find out what was going on, but even without these, they would still come to the banquet at the General's Mansion, because Yuwen Che had just won a victory and was in the limelight.

Everyone was very enthusiastic and most people had arrived before the banquet even started.

As soon as Ling Yueqing came in, she saw the yard full of people.

Everyone immediately bowed together, "Your servants/subjects greet the princess."

One of the women stared at her blankly, forgetting to react. Someone next to her pulled her and she knelt down hurriedly, but her eyes kept glancing at Ling Yueqing.

Ling Yueqing followed the line of sight and looked over. Oh, it was an acquaintance. Wasn't this the guy from Shangshu Mansion who had said in Baoyuan Hall that he was poor and couldn't afford it?

Ling Yueqing thought about the time when she first came into this world and found it a little funny. She curled the corners of her mouth slightly. But when Liu Yuxuan saw her laughing, she seemed frightened. Her eyes suddenly became terrified. She immediately lowered her head, her body still shaking slightly.

The Shangshu's wife next to her saw it, glared at her, and said quickly, "Princess, please forgive me for making fun of you. This is Liu Yuxuan, a concubine of my family. I wanted to bring her out to see the world today. I don't know the rules, so please forgive me, Princess."

Ling Yueqing looked at Liu Yuxuan, who was lowering her head and acting like an ostrich, feeling helpless. If someone didn't know better, they would think that she had done something to her.

"It's okay, it's understandable."

Ling Yueqing didn't take it seriously at first. If she hadn't seen her today, she would have forgotten the existence of such a person.

Liu Yuxuan was a person who knew how to deal with things, and she also had a deep understanding of the principle of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. She was well-behaved and quiet throughout the entire banquet, and did not cause any trouble.

"Everyone, please stand up! Today, my princess is not the protagonist of the banquet." Ling Yueqing said with a smile, and then found a seat to sit down.

At this time, everyone who should have come had arrived. Jiang looked at Ling Yueqing, who nodded to her, indicating that they could begin.

So Jiang said, "Thank you all ladies for accepting the invitation and coming to our family recognition banquet today."

Everyone said politely, "General's wife, what are you talking about? It is our honor to be invited here."

"Yes, I have always heard that the layout of the General's Mansion is particularly unique, and I have long wanted to come and see it."

"What's more, Madam General, you have prepared so many delicious teas and cakes. We don't have such exquisite food at home."

A cry of surprise rang out, "Oh, I didn't look closely just now, this looks like the pastry of [Fragrant Ten Miles Away]."

"Yeah, it's true. I've bought it a few times, and I had to queue for a long time every time. The general's wife is really generous."

Everyone was surprised. They were all wealthy and could afford the cakes. It was just that the quantity was very limited. They had to queue for half a day each time, and each person was only allowed to buy one portion.

Jiang smiled and said, "Madam, you are right. This is the cake I ordered from [Fragrant Ten Miles]. It was just made this morning. Come and have a taste first."

This is the high-end pastry series that Ling Yueqing recently launched. It has exquisite shapes, fresh flavors, and is sweet but not greasy. Once it was launched, it was widely praised by ladies and young ladies from all walks of life.

It’s just that not many people knew how to do it before, and most of them were made by Li Yan, so the quantity was limited.

However, now that Li Yan’s young apprentices have almost all come out, he can take on some big orders.

As expected, the next second, a lady spoke up, "[Fragrance Puffs Ten Miles Away] is still accepting reservations? I haven't heard of it before."

"Yes, the general's wife is familiar with their boss. Can you help me reserve one? My little daughter will have her coming-of-age ceremony next month, and I want to show off."

Jiang said, "My husband knows the owner of [Piao Xiang Shili]. According to him, starting tomorrow, they will be able to accept a large number of reservations, but the price..."

Jiang didn't finish her words, as everyone knew that such a delicious and popular pastry would definitely be expensive, but everyone present was wealthy and naturally didn't take it to heart.

They are all excited and are preparing to order more tomorrow so that they can eat their fill in one go.

After everyone had some tea and snacks and chatted for a while, Jiang finally spoke again.

"I asked everyone to come here today because I want everyone to witness something."

"Oh? The invitation from the General's wife said recognition of relatives. We are all curious about what is going on?"

Jiang told the story she had memorized by heart, "This is what happened. I was not in good health when I was pregnant, and I was pregnant with twins, so my little daughter was born weak. A few years later, her health deteriorated and no medicine could cure her."

"Just then, we happened to meet a Taoist nun who said she could cure our daughter's illness, but she had to take us away for treatment. For the sake of our daughter's life, we had no choice but to agree."

"I haven't heard from him for more than ten years."

Everyone was amazed, just like listening to a storyteller. They had never heard that the general's mansion had a second young lady.

Jiang changed the subject and said, "Maybe God took pity on my wife and I and missed our daughter so much. We found our daughter Xin'er a few days ago, so we asked all the ladies to be witnesses and give our daughter a name."

"It should."

"This second young lady has been separated from her parents for many years, which is really heartbreaking."

Most people were sighing, but there were also a few who were comparing themselves with others, thinking to themselves, how could a country girl be raised from somewhere?

Ling Yueqing stood up and patted Jiang's hand, saying, "Mom, don't be sad. Now our family is finally reunited. This is a happy event. Quickly ask your sister to come out and meet everyone."

"Ah, the princess is right."

As she spoke, she called out, "Xin'er, come out and say hello to everyone."

"Yes, mother." Everyone only heard a gentle voice, and then saw a woman who looked exactly like Princess Zhan walking out from the tent at the back.

Everyone looked at Yu Wenxin, then at Ling Yueqing, and then at each other, with shock in their eyes.

They were sure they weren't dazzled or seeing double. They had seen many twins, but this was the first time they had seen two that looked so alike.

"Xin'er greets all the ladies and young ladies."

Everyone came back to their senses and exclaimed, "The general's wife is so lucky to have two such beautiful daughters."

After some conversation, the clever ladies immediately discovered that although the two looked the same, their personalities were very different: Ling Yueqing was a bright and flamboyant beauty, while Yuwen Xin was a gentle and reserved beauty.

After talking for a while, Jiang felt that the purpose of hosting this banquet had been achieved and was about to announce its end.

A sudden imperial decree broke the peace of the banquet.
