On the day of my tragic death, I was reborn and married to the Regent

Early in the morning, there was a knock on the door of the Jiang Mansion. Someone from Princess Huaining's Mansion sent Jiang Nian back. The nanny who came was the same nanny from yesterday.

But today his face was gloomy, not as polite as yesterday.

Jiang Nian followed behind her, twisting the handkerchief between his fingers, and walked into the mansion with his head lowered without saying a word.

When Old Lady Jiang heard that the princess had come personally to see someone off, and she remembered what the nanny had said yesterday about receiving a reward, she immediately asked someone to bring out the most luxurious clothes for her to change into.

When Mrs. Feng heard the news, she dressed up carefully and followed Mrs. Jiang out to greet them.

Madam Jiang complained, "Tsk, what a pity Dechang isn't home, and Mingyuan hasn't come back because of something. What could be more important than the people in the Princess's Mansion? Did you send someone to call them?"

Feng quickly responded, "Don't worry, mother. We've already sent someone. Since you've been rewarded, let's invite Madam to sit down and have some tea while we wait for Master and Mingyuan to return."

Old Madam Jiang nodded, smoothed her hair, dusted off her clothes, and stood in the yard looking forward to it.

The servants came back one after another to report: "Old Madam, the people from the Princess's Mansion will soon arrive at the main hall."

Madam Jiang ordered the servants: "Go check if the refreshments are ready. Don't neglect our distinguished guests."

As soon as the mother beside her responded and left, the nanny walked into the courtyard with her head held high.

Madam Jiang and Mrs. Feng hurried over to greet him, their faces full of flattery: "You're back now, and it's really troublesome for you to bring it back personally."

As soon as the words fell, the courtyard was as quiet as death for a moment.

Only then did Old Lady Jiang realize that something was wrong. Seeing that her granddaughter had been keeping her head down and not saying a word since she came in, and the nanny had a gloomy face, she couldn't help feeling uneasy.

"Mammy, has my granddaughter displeased Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

The nanny held her dignity and said coldly, "You Jiang family are so bold, you actually used a fake to deceive Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Madam Jiang's legs softened and she trembled: "Where do I even begin to talk about this?"

"The girl our prince wants to see is Jiang Nian. You Jiang family wouldn't think that a similar name can pass her off as the real one, right?!"

Madam Jiang and Mrs. Feng froze in place, not knowing how to react.

The nanny was extremely angry. She had excitedly invited the person yesterday, but her face turned unhappy after the princess summoned him.

Your Highness wanted to ask about the sachet. The girl from the Jiang family kept saying that the sachet was hers, but she didn't even know how to embroider the sachet, and she couldn't even name the medicinal herbs inside.

Princess Huaining understood immediately, but she was just a little girl after all, so she didn't blame her too much. She let her stay in the mansion for one night and sent her back early in the morning.

The more the nanny thought about it, the angrier she became. "Your family should invite this person out. He's just a fake, not even worthy of the princess's eyes. If you neglect Her Highness, your Jiang family will be in big trouble!"

Jiang Nian had never suffered such an injustice before. Her face was as pale as paper. She bit her lip and lowered her head, her eyes red. Why was it Jiang Nian? How could she not compare to her?

As soon as Jiang Nian got dressed and walked out of Qingfangyuan, he was invited over.

Along the way, the servant told Jiang Nian what had happened and he laughed.

Old Lady Jiang and her father valued face the most, and now their face was thrown directly into the princess's mansion.

Jiang Nian bowed slowly as he entered the room: "Madam."

The nanny's eyes were sharp: "If you dare to deceive the princess again this time, your Jiang family will not have to stay in the capital."

"I dare not, I dare not, this is my granddaughter Jiang Nian."

Mammy said calmly, "In that case, let's go."

Jiang Nian looked at Old Madam Jiang hesitantly, wanting to say something but stopping himself: "Madam, to be honest, I have an appointment to go out today, this..."

"Yes, yes, the invitation has been submitted. It would be bad if I don't go." Feng immediately took over the conversation.

The nanny glanced coldly at Madam Jiang and Madam Feng: "Which family are you going to? Can it compare to the Princess's Mansion? Could it be that the Jiang family doesn't even look down on the Princess's Mansion?"

Madam Jiang's heart was about to jump out of her chest. "No, no, no, no, please don't blame me, Madam. We said the wrong thing. Since the princess has summoned us, it is a blessing for the Jiang family." She looked at Jiang Nian and shouted, "Hurry up and follow Madam."

Jiang Nian asked very sensibly: "What about the Yan family..."

"Don't worry about it. Go quickly and don't keep His Highness waiting anxiously."

"Yes."

Jiang Nian gritted her teeth and clutched the handkerchief tightly, unwilling to give in.

When turning around, Jiang Nian deliberately glanced at a place not far away, with a smile in his eyes.

Jiang Nian lost face in the princess's mansion and was already unable to raise his head because of what the nanny said. Suddenly, when he saw Jiang Nian's expression, his whole body began to tremble.

She's making fun of her? She's making fun of her!

Jiang Nian, a bitch despised by the Jiang family, a bitch who had lost her innocence, why did they laugh at her? What right did they have to laugh at her!

......

The princess's carriage returned to the gate, and the nanny respectfully helped Jiang Nian out of the car.

"Miss, don't panic. My prince just has something to ask you."

Jiang Nian smiled and said, "Yes, I'm not panicking."

This made the nanny laugh. It was much better than what happened yesterday. Yesterday, when she just brought the person in, Jiang Nian was so nervous that he couldn't speak clearly.

Once inside, I sat in a sedan chair and passed through several doors and more than a dozen corridors.

The sedan stopped at a courtyard, and the nanny lifted the curtain and invited her out: "Young lady, get out of the sedan, we're here."

Jiang Nian didn't look around, he just felt that the yard was very big, and followed the nanny into the house.

"Your Highness, we have arrived."

"Let her in quickly." A vicissitudes but slightly excited voice came from behind the Yu Lu screen.

The nanny bent her waist and said, "Go in, young lady."

Jiang Nian walked in, without looking ahead, and knelt down to salute: "Greetings, Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"Good boy, get up quickly."

Jiang Nian stood up and looked up, and saw a dignified and kind woman leaning on the soft couch. She had gray hair, a plain satin headband with jewels on her forehead, and was wearing a plain brocade dress. Her face was pale and her lips were pale, but this sickly appearance could not hide her overall nobleness.

"What a beautiful child! Come, come to me."

Jiang Nian took a few steps forward, and Princess Huaining laughed: "I wanted to invite you to talk, but it ended up being a misunderstanding. Don't be afraid."

"Yes."

How could she be afraid? She had been waiting for this day for a long time.

That day, she asked Baozhu to go to Wanfutang to get medicine, and happened to meet the servants from the princess's mansion who were going to get medicine. She had informed the shopkeeper in advance, and the medicine that the princess's mansion wanted that day "happened" to be out of stock.

Baozhu was generous and gave the man the medicine and calming sachet that she had ordered in advance, and earned a favor in return.

All for today.

Princess Huaining had a cloak left by the Empress Dowager, which she treasured very much. However, the cloak was accidentally snagged and there was a big hole in the middle. Princess Huaining had been trying to find someone who could repair it for many years, but no one she found was satisfactory.

Princess Huaining asked, "I used your sachet, and I slept much more soundly at night. But I called you here today to ask where you got it from."

Jiang Nian was taken aback for a moment before replying, "That sachet is something I've carried since I was little. I usually put some herbs in it, it's just something not presentable."

Princess Huaining was unhappy: "How can you say that? I saw it clearly. Your sachet is embroidered on both sides with light and dark patterns. The needlework is ingenious and the embroidery skills are exquisite. That is not the skill of an ordinary embroiderer."

"Can you still find the embroiderer?"

Hearing this, Jiang Nian lowered his eyes and said nothing.

"What happened? The person who embroidered this sachet is no longer around?"

Jiang Nian shook his head: "That's not the case, it's just...actually...the one who embroidered this sachet was my mother."

"It turns out to be Madam Jiang." Princess Huaining's expression brightened.

"Then could you please invite Madam Jiang over? I have a cloak that got accidentally smeared a few years ago, and I'd like to find an embroiderer to mend it. If Madam Jiang can come, the mansion will not treat her unfairly."

Ever since the cloak had a hole in it, Princess Huaining would feel sad every time she saw it.

Jiang Nian lowered his head, a glimmer in his eyes. "It is my mother's blessing to be able to serve Her Royal Highness the Princess, but... my mother... I'm afraid she can't leave the house now."

Jiang Nian recounted Lin's experiences to Princess Huaining in detail, finally kneeling down to apologize: "Your Highness, my mother is now a criminal, and I'm really... afraid of offending Your Highness."

Princess Huaining knew about what happened to the Lin family in the past. At that time, the Lin family was accused of treason and betrayal. Except for General Lin's eldest son who died in battle and the grandson of his second wife, no one else was implicated.

However, the entire Lin family was exiled to the border and was not allowed to return to the capital without being summoned.

At that time, everyone in the court felt that the punishment was too light, but His Majesty did not execute the entire family in consideration of the Lin family's meritorious service.

She had never heard of the Jiang family before. Jiang Nian's mother was actually the daughter of the Lin family?

The Lin family was once at the peak of its power in the capital. What kind of family could marry a girl from the Lin family?

However, things have changed and the Lin family has long since declined. Mrs. Jiang probably won't have a good life in the Jiang family.

However, even His Majesty would not dare to stop the person her Princess Mansion wanted, and not everyone had the honor of serving the Princess Mansion.

A moment later, Jiang Nian came out of the princess's mansion and sat in the carriage with his hands shaking, not because of fear, but because of excitement.

After ten years, her mother finally waited for this day alive.
