The two nodded repeatedly, thinking that what His Highness said made sense.

Your Highness did not take it to heart even though Miss Yang offended you so much. This shows that you are broad-minded.

Zhong Ning also sighed: "She is a good girl, but she is a little stupid. She is the daughter of the richest man, and she can't support so many concubines. She has to hang herself on Gu Mingzhe."

Love brain is really scary. One hundred thousand taels of silver was given just like that.

However, she likes it.

However, in order to save more people who are in love, Zhong Ning felt that he should write two more storybooks to explain clearly the consequences that may result from being in love.

This is to prevent some young girls from being attracted by a good-looking man.

Marry each other regardless of everything.

It’s better to avoid such stupid things in advance!

She has already thought about the content of the storybook.

It tells the story of a young lady from a wealthy family who falls in love with a poor scholar and, despite her family's opposition, insists on eloping with him. In the end, she takes off her fine clothes, washes clothes and cooks soup for him, manages the household chores, takes care of her parents, gives birth to children, and devotes herself to him. However, on the day when the poor scholar passes the imperial examination and becomes the top scorer, she is abandoned by a letter of divorce.

Or, it could be a story about a poor and broke mansion with no food to eat, and the head of the mansion plots to marry a merchant's daughter into the mansion just to seize her dowry to fill his own holes. After marrying her into the mansion, he treats her coldly and eventually forces her to death.

Both of them are very representative. For example, the second story we see today, isn’t that ready-made material?

Today I will just treat it as a field trip, and when I get back I will organize the content into chapters.

Once you have a general idea, you can expand on it.

Countless storylines gradually formed chapters in Zhong Ning's mind. When she closed her eyes and was still pondering how to make changes and adjustments, she heard a voice from outside the car door, "Your Highness, we have arrived at the Chengyang Marquis' Mansion!"

Only then did Zhong Ning open his eyes.

At that time, there was already a circle of people gathered in front of the car.

The people in the mansion, led by the old lady of the Chengyang Earl, were waiting there with smiles on their faces.

Su Xin Jingxin got off the carriage first, and then placed the stool under the carriage. Then she waited outside the carriage, waiting for the people inside to come out.

A jade hand stretched out first and placed on Suxin's wrist, and then a girl dressed in gorgeous clothes and with a delicate face appeared in front of everyone.

As soon as Zhong Ning showed up, the crowd immediately knelt down:

"Meet Princess Zhaohua!"

"Stand up!" Zhong Ning raised her hand slightly, opened her red lips, and then folded her hands and walked slowly towards the newly dressed old lady in front of her.

"This is the old lady, right? Zhaohua is here to greet you." Zhong Ning bowed slightly as a junior, and the old lady Chengyangbo's face suddenly became excited.

"It is a great honor for the Marquis of Chengyang to have Princess Zhaohua here today! I am very grateful!" The old lady was so excited that her face was as bright as a chrysanthemum, and her wrinkled face looked very happy.

Zhong Ning raised his hand slightly, fearing that she would pounce on him the next moment.

"Your Highness, please follow me into the mansion!" The old lady of the Chengyang Marquis's Mansion stood aside next to Zhong Ning.

Zhong Ning nodded slightly to the different gazes around him, and then stepped into the gate of the Chengyang Marquis' Mansion.

It can be seen that the Chengyang Marquis's Mansion has made a lot of preparations for this birthday banquet.

Just from the newly replaced door plaque, the shiny red door, and the spotless mansion, you can get a glimpse of it.

The mansion of the Marquis of Chengyang is not small. With every step and every scene, you can see the style and heritage of the old aristocratic family.

Pass the lobby, turn around the corridor, and then pass through two archways.

Zhong Ning was invited to the most luxurious inner hall in the back house to rest for a while.

The hanging crystal bead curtain directly blocks the outside world's observation.

The interior decoration is neat, without too many out-of-the-ordinary things, but you can see the care put into it.

The red printed carpet is dignified and elegant.

The tables and chairs are made of the finest huanghuali wood, decorated with exquisite hollow carvings, and are paired with Jingzhou thin-bodied white porcelain teapots, which are used to brew the finest Yunwu Yinzhen tea.

There are masterpieces by famous artists hanging on the walls.

There is also a bunch of gorgeous green chrysanthemums blooming in front of the window.

After completing this whole series, it is not much different from the princess's mansion.

Su Xin saw that her princess looked uneasy and spoke softly:

"I heard that this Earl of Chengyang married Xu Hanwei, the daughter of Xu Baichuan, from a wealthy family in the west of the city."

Zhong Ning sneered inwardly. The Chengyang Marquis's Mansion was already declining, and the family business was no longer viable. Yet, there were so many good things displayed in the mansion... Tsk tsk tsk...

After hearing Su Xin's words, she was certain that all these good things were made from the dowry of Lady Chengyang. No wonder they were so luxurious.

"Why didn't I see the wife of the Marquis of Chengyang just now?" Zhong Ning asked.

"I asked, and they said that the wife of the Marquis of Chengyang is pregnant and had a miscarriage a few days ago. The Marquis of Chengyang didn't dare to let her come to the front yard to entertain guests, so the wife of the second house is the one who will take the lead in entertaining guests today."

"Why did she have a miscarriage just before the birthday party?" Zhong Ning was a little curious. Not long after, a female secret guard Yue Sheng, dressed in secret uniform and neat women's clothing, appeared in front of her.

"Your Highness, the details of today's banquet have been clarified. The guests include the Minister of Rites, the Guangxu Temple, the Censor, the Imperial College's Chief Priest, and several Hanlin scholars..."

"Basically, everyone below the second rank has come. For those above the second rank, only the butlers are allowed to deliver the gifts on their behalf."

"And the wife of the Marquis Chengyang, she had a miscarriage a few days ago because her maid told Marquis Chengyang about helping the princess, which is why she sent the invitation!"

Yuesheng's voice was cold, but clear and logical!

Zhong Ning lowered his eyebrows, and there seemed to be anger boiling in his heart.

She thought that the person who sent her the invitation was the wife of the Marquis of Chengyang, but it turned out that this family had borrowed someone else's name.

He used his wife's dowry to decorate his own home and seduced other people's maids, doing such short-sighted things. The Chengyang Marquis's Mansion is really speechless.

About a quarter of an hour later.

"Your servants, the legitimate sisters of the Earl of Chengyang, Zhan Jiao and Zhan Meng, have come to pay their respects to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

A delicate voice came from outside the curtain.

Zhong Ning nodded slightly and motioned for someone to come in.

The next moment, two girls, about fourteen or fifteen years old, appeared in front of her.

There were two girls, one with a face as beautiful as a jade plate, almond eyes and rosy cheeks, and the other with a figure as graceful as a willow, with a charming look swaying in the wind.

"Your Highness!" Zhan Jiao spoke first. "Your Highness, we are here on Grandmother's orders to respectfully invite Her Highness the Princess to the main hall for the birthday banquet!"

The girl is as beautiful as a flower, and just looking at her can make people happy.

Zhong Ning placed his hand on Su Xin's wrist, slowly stood up, and then walked out of the temporary resting hall and headed towards the main hall.

Go through the corridor and turn the corner.

The two girls leading the way in front almost collided with a man.

The man was about seventeen years old, handsome and beautiful, with a very handsome appearance, a real handsome man with a jade face.

"Third brother, what were you doing in such a hurry? You almost bumped into the princess!"

Zhan Jiao deliberately said angrily, and before Princess Zhong Ning could speak, she was the first to characterize the matter as being too impatient and walking too fast.
