Jiang Mingzhu's eyes lit up when she heard this: "My grandmother told me all these things you mentioned, but I just haven't found them yet."

Bai Wanwan smiled and said, "It's okay! I'll have someone send some over when the time comes."

Jiang Mingzhu widened her eyes. She didn't expect Bai Wanwan to be so generous.

She quickly grabbed Bai Wanwan's hand and said, "These seeds are really precious! If you grow them and sell them, you can make a lot of money! There's no need for you to give me such a rare thing."

Bai Wanwan smiled and waved her hands:

"What's the big deal! I just think we get along well.

I'll bring you some strawberries and grapes in a few days, so you can try them!"

Hearing her say this, Jiang Mingzhu blushed with excitement and kept saying, "Wait for me here! I'll be back soon!"

After a long while, she ran out with a brocade box and opened it carefully.

There was a pair of bracelets lying inside. The bracelets were made of gold and were densely inlaid with red, green and blue gems, sparkling in the sun.

"This is the sister bracelet my grandmother left me. She said that if I meet a sister who gets along well with me, I should give her one."

Jiang Mingzhu gently placed the bracelet in Bai Wanwan's hand: "We will be good sisters from now on!"

Bai Wanwan put the bracelet on her hand directly, and then she saw Jiang Shuying walk in. She said with a stern face, "Sister, didn't you say this was a sister bracelet? I asked you for it for a long time, but you didn't want to give it to me."

Jiang Mingzhu said frankly: "Yes! It is indeed a sister bracelet, but I didn't plan to give it to you!"

Jiang Shuying's eyes instantly flushed red, and she suddenly rushed to Jiang Mingzhu, trembling and grabbing her sleeve:

"Sister! I have always respected you since I was little, why are you humiliating me in front of others today?

Those bracelets were clearly left to us sisters by our grandmother, but you gave them to someone you just met!"

Jiang Mingzhu's face was cold as she gently pulled back her sleeves: "Grandmother said that this bracelet is for someone who is compatible with her."

"How cruel! He remained indifferent even when his own sister was crying so miserably!" The girl in the goose yellow skirt covered her mouth and exclaimed.

Another girl with twin buns curled her lips and said, "That's right, two girls from the countryside became sisters."

A sneer came from the corner: "Birds of a feather flock together. It makes me sick."

Jiang Shuying burst into tears and suddenly staggered and pointed at Bai Wanwan:

"She's just someone who climbed to the top by clinging to the rich and powerful!

My elder sister would rather give the heirloom to her than to her blood-related sister."

Bai Wanwan looked at Jiang Shuying calmly and said:

"I'm clinging to the powerful to get to a higher position? I want to ask who I'm clinging to?

My father is General Huo, my mother is a first-rank lady, my grandmother is also a first-rank lady, and my grandfather is a second-rank official.

My brother is the current eighteenth prince, and I am a princess personally appointed by the emperor.

What kind of powerful people do I need to cling to?"

The young ladies present were all dumbfounded, as if they were under a spell. They had completely forgotten that Bai Wanwan was now a princess!

Zhiwei suddenly took a step forward and spoke in a clear voice:

"Everyone, don't forget the rules! When you see the princess, kneel down and bow politely!

My young lady is kindhearted and usually doesn’t care about these things, but Miss Jiang treats guests like this…”

She sneered, "Looks like there's no need to bring out the gift I originally prepared."

Bai Wanwan smiled and reached out to open the brocade box that Zhiwei was holding.

As soon as the lid of the box was opened, the decoration inside immediately dazzled everyone's eyes.

The entire set of headwear was made of pure gold, and the hairpin was adorned with finger-sized pearls that shone bright white in the sunlight.

Each golden flower is trimmed with silver threads, and its stamens are inlaid with red and blue sapphires, the colors so bright that they seem to be dripping out.

The most magnificent phoenix hairpin was inlaid with a whole row of green jadeite, which gently collided with the shaking of the box, making a crisp sound.

"This is a birthday gift specially prepared for Miss Jiang." Bai Wanwan slowly closed the brocade box. "Since Miss Jiang doesn't like it, then forget it, okay?"

She smiled and said, "Zhiwei, bring up the gift I gave to Sister Jiang Mingzhu. Today is also Sister Mingzhu's birthday!"

Jiang Mingzhu suddenly looked up, surprise rippled in her eyes, and her voice trembled a little: "Wanwan, how did you know today is my birthday?"

Bai Wanwan blinked and came closer with a smile:

"Of course I did my homework and found out that my sister and Jiang Shuying were born on the same day."

She waved her hand lightly, and Taoyao immediately stepped forward.

Tao Yao opened a heavy box, and as the headdress inside came out, the ladies present all gasped.

This headdress looks even more luxurious than the previous one. The hairpin is densely inlaid with gems, and each pearl is as big as a longan, round and translucent.

The most eye-catching thing is the big phoenix hairpin in the middle. The entire phoenix is ​​woven with gold threads, and a whole row of emerald green jade beads are embedded on its wings, which jingle when shaken.

"Isn't this the treasure at the bottom of the treasure box of the Treasure Pavilion?"

A young lady in a red dress suddenly shouted, "My mother asked the price last month, and the shopkeeper said it would cost at least 30,000 taels of silver!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding area immediately exploded.

Some people tiptoed forward, some couldn't help but stretch out their hands to touch it but quickly pulled back, and a few even murmured, "How wealthy must this family be to give away such an expensive thing?"

The crowd was chattering. Jiang Shuying stood aside with a dark face and her nails almost digging into her palms.

Jiang Mingzhu looked at the glittering headdress, her eyes gradually turning red: "Wanwan, such a precious thing..."

Her voice trembled, and she looked at Bai Wanwan with panic in her eyes: "I have never received such a precious item. I really can't afford it."

Bai Wanwan directly picked up the headgear and gently put it into her arms and said:

"Don't refuse, sister! You deserve the best in the world.

This headpiece is specially prepared for you. You will definitely be the most beautiful girl when you wear it."

Her eyebrows curved into crescents, and she took Jiang Mingzhu's hand and shook it: "If you don't accept it, it would seem that my kindness is frivolous."

Zhiwei, standing by, bowed at the right moment and said in a clear voice, "The princess's intentions are profound. If Miss Jiang doesn't accept it, it would be a shame for her efforts these past few days."

Jiang Mingzhu gently held the headgear in her arms, and suddenly her nose felt sore and tears fell.

In previous years, on my birthday, my grandmother would always pull out a small gadget like a magic trick, but since she passed away, no one remembers this day anymore.

The Jiang family mansion is so big, but she seems to have been deliberately forgotten.

She had heard these words countless times since her father brought her back from her grandmother's house in the countryside.

My mother always likes to hold a white porcelain tea bowl, with pride in her eyes:

"Our Shuying is much more capable than you. She is studying in the academy of the princess's mansion and will surely have a bright future.

Others are top-notch in everything from music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and look at you, you just hang around in the yard all day, how will you ever get married?
