Jiang Mingwei looked up and happened to meet Wei Jing's eyes.

Now she was full of joy, thinking that she would go riding after that, and she did not notice the flash of surprise in Wei Jing's eyes and the slightly red earlobes.

"I'm sorry, second brother, I'm late. Did you wait too long?"

"No, but I just got here, and my sister-in-law came at the right time. Let's go." Wei Jing coughed lightly and shook his head.

After Jiang Mingwei agreed, she urged the driver to hurry up.

The carriage was cramped and silent, but Wei Jing couldn't help but look at Jiang Mingwei. She was wearing a navy blue horse-faced skirt today, with a blue short-sleeved shirt of the same color.

She wore no jewelry, and with three thousand strands of black silk fixed behind her head, she looked heroic and her face looked even more extraordinary.

Her beauty is by no means created by gold and silver jewelry and expensive clothes; it is her natural beauty that no one can match!

"Sister-in-law's outfit today is very appropriate."

He blurted it out almost subconsciously, and he immediately regretted it after he said it.

Jiang Mingwei was also stunned. She didn't expect Wei Jing to praise her.

Oh no, is he going to regard what she did today as seduction again?

She could only laugh and complimented him, "Second brother has good taste. I spent a long time choosing this outfit! Second brother looks very impressive today. When he goes there later, he will surely charm a bunch of young ladies from official families! If you like any of them, tell my sister-in-law and I will help you find a match!"

Wei Jing knew that Jiang Mingwei would occasionally say something shocking, so he was used to it. But when he heard that she wanted to help him find a match...

For some reason, he did not feel happy, but instead felt melancholy, which made him extremely uncomfortable. He just nodded lightly without saying another word in response.

Hua Cui looked back and forth between the two of them for a long time, and suddenly realized a somewhat horrible truth.

But at this moment, she didn't dare to say a word...

Finally, we arrived at the Royal Forest Park.

After getting off the carriage, there were already quite a few carriages parked here. By looking at the family crests on them, I knew which family it was.

As expected, those invited today were all prominent families in Beijing.

Today's poetry and wine banquet was held in a long corridor in the forest garden. As the two were walking side by side towards that direction, many people they met on the road greeted them with a smile.

Jiang Mingwei smiled back at them, thinking that he was benefiting from Wei Jing's help, but he never expected that Wei Jing turned around and looked at him meaningfully, saying jokingly: "Today I am also benefiting from the help of my sister-in-law, otherwise how could they greet me so warmly?"

"Ah I?"

Jiang Mingwei pointed at herself with her backhand, her face full of disbelief. What did this have to do with her?

Her husband is only a fifth-rank general. Although she was the daughter of the prime minister in the past, her adoptive father is dead and her brother doesn't acknowledge her. How can she benefit from her now?

Wei Jing nodded with a proud look in his eyes, and said firmly: "Yes, that's right, it's all thanks to my sister-in-law."

Just when Jiang Mingwei felt puzzled, when she arrived at the corridor, she finally understood why Wei Jing said such a thing...

When the eldest princess saw her, she immediately waved to her enthusiastically.

"Mingwei, come here!"

Suddenly, everyone's eyes were focused on her.

Today's seating arrangement was very particular, arranged from strong to weak in order of influence in Beijing. Wei Jing was seated in the left center of the first row, which was where he should sit as he was now deeply favored by the emperor.

But if we follow this order, Jiang Mingwei should be located ten miles away.

However, the seat that the eldest princess prepared for her happened to be right next to her!

Sitting at the same table with the eldest princess was the wife of Duke Huaiguo, Zhang Yongzhi.

At this moment, she also looked at Jiang Mingwei with a smile on her face.

The two of them were extremely passionate and irresistible. Jiang Mingwei looked up at Wei Jing, but he looked calm and told her not to worry.

"The princess is calling you, go ahead, sister-in-law. Don't worry about me. I will take my seat."

After saying that, he turned around and went to find his seat.

Jiang Mingwei had no choice but to walk towards the Grand Princess and Zhang Yongzhi with her scalp tingling and her body stiff, and stood in front of them to salute.

But before she could say anything, the eldest princess held her in her arms, smiled faintly and shook her head.

"No need to be so formal. We are here to have fun today. Just be at ease. Come and sit down. This is the seat I reserved specially for you!"

The Grand Princess emphasized her tone. Jiang Mingwei didn't understand what was going on. She nodded and sat down, totally unaware of the murderous looks from the group of people around her!

The eldest princess glanced at him sideways, her eyes full of disdain.

All seats today have been arranged, with nameplates on them, and everyone can sit as needed.

At the table in the middle of the Grand Princess's table, only she, Zhang Yongzhi and Princess An Ning were sitting, and there was an empty seat.

Therefore, many ladies of high rank wanted to sit here, hoping to have a few words with the Grand Princess. If they could sit here firmly, their reputation in the capital would naturally rise after today's poetry and wine banquet.

But no matter who came, before they even sat down, the eldest princess would immediately drive them away, saying that there was a distinguished guest coming to this seat. She did not give them any face and directly drove them away.

Several princesses were unable to sit in that position, and everyone was wondering what kind of identity one had to have to sit next to the Grand Princess?

But unexpectedly, it was Jiang Mingwei!

Although her status as the daughter of the prime minister was noble enough, the prime minister was dead after all, and she married a second-rate husband. Now she was a widow. How could she possibly marry the eldest princess?

But she actually did it!

Even the Grand Princess and the wife of Duke Huaiguo were so enthusiastic about her and treated her as guests of honor, which was enough to prove that she was a capable person.

"You are finally here. The princess has been guarding this chair for you for a long time. If you don't come and someone else takes it away, she will be very angry!"

Zhang Yongzhi spoke with a smile, and the eldest princess glared at her in feigned anger.

Jiang Mingwei smiled embarrassedly and rubbed the little head of Princess An Ning beside her.

The little girl raised her bright eyes and looked at Jiang Mingwei expectantly, unable to wait to hear her story.

"I'm sorry to trouble the Grand Princess. I wonder if you are doing well these days?"

"Everything is fine. Since I took the medicine you gave me, all my illnesses have been cured. Now I feel relaxed and comfortable! Fortunately, I met you that day and I didn't rush to question you. Otherwise, I don't know how much more suffering I would have to endure. You are my lucky star!"

The eldest princess smiled and nodded, extremely satisfied.

Jiang Mingwei smiled with relief and turned her gaze to the wife of Duke Huaiguo.

Now, she was a little nervous.

"Then I wonder about your health, Madam..."

Hearing this, Zhang Yongzhi smiled calmly with a gentle expression.

"I have recovered a lot. Madam Wei, don't worry. I won't get this disease again in the future."

Jiang Mingwei didn't understand what this meant, she only heard the Grand Princess ask casually: "Duke Huai's illness is so severe, I wonder how many days he can hold out?"
