After being reborn in the Mass Grave, she overturned her predecessor's power
Chapter 268: Hit Between the Eyebrows
The next day, Jiang Xue Ning was handling affairs in the study room when Lu Chengyuan pushed the door open and walked in with a unhappy look on his face.
Jiang Xue Ning couldn't help but tease, "Were you forced to get married?"
"Look at this."
He handed her two invitations, one glittering with the scent of gold, and the other with a painting of flowers, fresh and elegant.
Jiang Xue Ning flipped it open and took a look. The elegant one came from the Lord of Baihua Valley, and the one with golden glow came from the King of Jinzhou.
Deep in the mountains outside of Hunan and Chu, there is a place called Baihua Valley, which seems like a paradise. The people there do not care about worldly affairs and do not participate in worldly struggles. They grow hundreds of flowers and brew honey and wine that are world-famous.
The vast tracts of flowers in the valley are a beautiful sight in themselves, so the annual Hundred Flowers Festival is very lively.
After all, Baihua Valley is close to Xiangchu, and often has to rely on Xiangchu for surveillance, so the two sides have always been on good terms.
She was the newly appointed King of Xiangchu, so it was normal for the Lord of Baihua Valley to invite her to participate in the Baihua Festival. What was abnormal was the invitation from the King of Jinzhou.
Jiang Xue Ning recalled an event from the distant past. She said softly, "I'm afraid the King of Jinzhou has come with bad intentions."
Lu Chengyuan asked subconsciously, "You two have a feud, isn't that right?"
"It's not a holiday, but there was some involvement many years ago." She ordered, "I'll ask Wu Sa Wu Jin to bring more secret guards."
The Hundred Flowers Festival is well-known and many people come here every year, so it has become a custom that even people of noble status are not allowed to bring heavy troops into the valley.
Otherwise it would destroy the atmosphere of the Hundred Flowers Festival. For many years, everyone has silently abided by this rule.
After all, it was a paradise, and there was only a valley of beautiful scenery. There was no need to ruin your reputation and cause trouble there. Sometimes, the higher the position, the more you want to save face.
The Hundred Flowers Festival starts in three days, and it will take about two days to get from Xiangchu to the Hundred Flowers Valley.
Time was very tight, Jiang Xuening took Xuening with her, Wu Sa Bai Yuyi protected her closely, Wu Jin led people to hide in the dark. Jiang Li stayed behind with Lu Chengyuan to take charge of Xiangchu.
She led three thousand elite soldiers, flew her own flag, and hurried to Baihua Valley.
As soon as she left, several major families also made moves. They received invitations every year, and they wanted to go even more since Jiang Xue Ning went.
Even many talented scholars and ladies from prominent families in Hunan and Chu came to enjoy the flowers.
There were people coming and going along the way, and there were also many stalls selling tea and food.
After all, it was the territory of Xiangchu, and was greatly influenced by Xiangchu. Once she raised the banner of the King of Qingzhou, she had a smooth journey and no one dared to cause trouble.
They arrived at the valley entrance the next day. A woman came up and saluted, "The valley master asked me to welcome the King of Xiang here."
Soon someone instructed them to stop their horses and call upon the soldiers behind them. Jiang Xue Ning only brought three hundred elite soldiers into the valley.
As soon as you enter the valley, you can see flowers everywhere. Some people are playing the piano under the flowers, some are reciting poems, some are dancing, some are drinking, and some are sleeping directly under the flowers.
Along the way they met people wearing all kinds of clothes, many of whom looked like they came from far away.
Bingtong's white hair doesn't seem so special anymore.
The maid Guyu said, "The master of the valley has prepared some wine in Baihua Tower to welcome the king of Xiang."
Guyu led them through the bustling valley and around to a quiet place. Among the intertwined pear and peach trees, they could faintly see a blue brick house. This was where the owner of Baihua Valley lived.
There are people wearing green clothes guarding along the way. When you see them, you will bow your head and greet them silently.
Jiang Xue Ning and her group were brought to the top of Baihua Tower. A woman wearing an elaborate Baihua dress but with an extraordinary temperament stood up and said with a faint smile, "Welcome King Xiang to Baihua Valley."
"I am Baihuaying, the master of Baihua Valley."
She was a very young and beautiful woman. Jiang Xue Ning smiled and said, "Thank you for the invitation, Valley Master. I am sorry to bother you."
Baihuagu smiled, "Prince Xiang, please take a seat."
The atmosphere was very good. Another person at the table was dressed in gold. He was about forty years old, with a big gold chain around his neck and gold bracelets on his hands. He was burly and had a sharp gaze, so it was hard to ignore him.
The young man sitting next to him was dressed in black and looked no different from the young masters of the noble families here - handsome and sharp.
Jiang Xue Ning has already guessed the identities of the two people. The one with golden light is Jinzhou King Helan Ye, and the young and beautiful one is the seventh prince Helan Xi who accompanies him this time. It is said that he is very favored.
She pretended not to know, sat down and looked out the window, "Seeing is believing, Hundred Flower Valley is indeed a place that makes people not want to leave once they arrive."
Bai Huaying personally poured her a glass of Bai Hua wine and said with a faint smile, "If the princess likes, you can stay for a few more days."
"Hmph, the Valley Master is quite attentive. Why don't you personally pour wine for me?" Helan Ye said dissatisfiedly.
Bai Huaying said with an unchanged expression, "Prince Xiang and I are both women, so I will naturally treat her as a closer relative."
Helan Ye's fiery gaze swept across the two people. The two of them, one bright and the other elegant, were indeed pleasing to the eye. He said frivolously, "They are both stunning."
Unfortunately, after completing the task of carrying on the family line and giving birth to five sons and two daughters, he did not touch a woman for many years. So no matter how beautiful she was, he did not have any bad intentions towards her.
Looking at Jiang Xue Ning who had been treating him like air, he snorted in dissatisfaction and said, "Little girl, you are so arrogant."
Jiang Xue Ning turned the wine glass in her hand and asked sincerely, "Excuse me, who are you?"
Helan Ye's beard was about to stand on end. Bai Huaying coughed lightly and quickly introduced, "This is Jinzhou King Helan Ye. This is the first time you meet him, so it's normal that you don't recognize him."
He Lanye sneered, "It is true that this is the first time we meet, but you owe me a life, have you forgotten it so quickly?"
He emphasized the word "Princess" very heavily, reminding her of everything that had happened in Qingzhou.
Of course she had not forgotten that at the banquet where she was canonized as the Princess of Qingzhou, Shen Tingsi, the fourth son of the Shen family, was pushed out to provoke her, and she severely injured Shen Tingsi.
Then, he broke the impasse with the life of Shen Tingsi, completely destroyed the Shen family, and established his reputation and foothold in Qingzhou.
When the Shen family of Qingzhou sold their son to gain power, the person they sacrificed was the King of Jinzhou.
Jiang Xue Ning looked at him with a slightly cold gaze and sneered, "Are you referring to the fourth son of the Shen family?"
"That's just a canary that you didn't want anymore. Why bother pretending to be so affectionate?"
The bastard of a noble family, born in a humble family, was pushed into the abyss step by step by his own family. In the end, he blew up a manure pit with his own body, just to fight for a way out for his younger sister "Xiao Yu'er".
She can still think of the thin and handsome man, who sighed at the end of his life, and said that his life was as insignificant as an ant and he never wanted to come back to this world again.
He Lanye sneered, "Even if I don't want her anymore, she's still mine."
The arrow shot in Qingzhou many years ago hit her right between the eyebrows many years later.
But she is no longer the woman she was many years ago, who had nothing but courage and hatred.
