The elder sister's piano playing never stopped, and I didn't know whether it was in the yard or somewhere else.

Just now the maid said that the elder sister asked them to come over. The elder sister is in the yard, right?

Does elder sister know that Jiang Yingxue is outside the yard?

"Don't worry, since Miss Jiang asked us to go over, she must be in the courtyard."

The older noble lady noticed Jiang Yingrou's worry and quickly comforted her softly.

Others quickly chimed in and helped to comfort her.

"Yes, she is not convenient now, so it would be best if we go there later."

"..."

"Shall we go over there and take a look? It seems like the Third Prince and his men are over there."

A noble lady with ulterior motives casually proposed something, which was immediately echoed by several other noble ladies.

Earlier in the Plum Garden, when the Third Prince saw them coming over, he immediately made room for them. Her elegance and generosity left a very good impression on everyone.

Jiang Yingrou glanced over at the curved bridge and saw that besides the Third Prince and his companions, her brothers were also there, so she agreed.

The group walked towards the lotus pond.

At this time, the ladies who were strolling in other places accompanied by the Second Lady and were about to go to the Plum Garden were driven over by the housekeeper of Jinhua Hall and asked to go to Jinhua Hall.

Seeing this, the Second Lady naturally could not stop everyone from going to Jinhua Hall, and the ladies could not refuse.

After all, Jinhua Hall is the courtyard of Princess Kangning. Princess Kangning has sent people to invite them, so how can they refuse?

The Second Lady was just about to accompany him and say hello to Princess Kangning. After all, the lady of the house had returned home, and it would be impolite not to meet her.

However, the housekeeper looked at her and said, "The princess said that the mansion is very busy today. Thank you for your concern."

The second lady understood immediately and forced a smile, saying, "Then I will go back to my mother."

After saying this, she greeted the ladies with a smile, and went to Songhe Hall from another direction.

Since Princess Corning was going to take over the responsibility of entertaining the guests as soon as she returned and hinted that she should go somewhere else, she naturally had to be more tactful.

Of course, the matter of Princess Kangning's return home must also be reported to the old lady.

Princess Kangning invited the ladies to Jinhua Hall, and Jiang Yingrou led the ladies to the lotus pond.

At Tangfeng Courtyard, Jiang Yingxue was still shouting persistently, and was just about to cover her face and cry out her grievances.

Although the door of Tangfeng Courtyard was not closed, no one inside came out.

The piano music still didn't stop.

In the open pavilion, Xiao Che was still meditating and regulating his breathing, digesting the rhythm of Tao and even the spiritual energy that was washing in like a stream of water.

Yuntang glanced at Mrs. Yang who was standing at the door, wanting to say something but hesitant, and shook his head.

Seeing that the eldest lady didn't want to pay attention to the people making a fuss at the gate, Mrs. Yang gave up and didn't say anything.

But there were always people who saw and talked about the noise here, and soon it reached the ears of Marquis Yong'an.

As soon as he heard that Jiang Yingxue had returned home, he ran to Tangfengyuan to cause trouble. Marquis Yong'an was very angry. He called Cheng and the Prince aside to talk.

He informed Prince Chenghe of the situation and said angrily, "She is really lawless!"

"Even if she sincerely apologizes, can she do it at a banquet in the mansion when there are so many guests coming and going? Who is she doing this for?"

"Tang'er is playing the piano non-stop, and the prince is also in the courtyard. It is definitely not convenient to discuss those things with her."

"Wouldn't it affect Tang'er and ruin the prince's interest in listening to the zither if she begged outside the courtyard like this?"

"I think she did it on purpose, to force Tang'er to forgive her. If Tang'er ignores her, she will definitely be known as an intolerant person."

"But Tang'er said at the beginning that she would not pursue the matter, but she would not forgive him either. Tang'er's attitude is very clear and there is no need to explain it further."

"She ignored my punishment and went to Prince Cheng's Mansion, and then came back to find Tang'er. Isn't this just deliberately looking for trouble?"

Marquis Yong'an kept calling her "she" and was unwilling to call her "Xue'er".

Today, Prince Chenghe was here, so he told the matter directly to Prince Chenghe, so that Prince Cheng's Mansion would not blame him for treating the mother and daughter harshly.

Prince Chenghe was also somewhat embarrassed and said helplessly, "I don't know the seriousness of the matter."

Forget about crying and begging for an apology, even kneeling down to apologize is fine, but not today, not when there are so many guests in the mansion.

No matter how many reasons there are for doing this, it cannot be ruled out as a show.

But for people like them who have good sense, who can be fooled by such tricks?

An idea suddenly occurred to Prince Chenghe. He looked around and said in a low voice:

"My second sister seemed to have mentioned something in the mansion these two days."

"What's the matter?" Marquis Yong'an was puzzled.

"The Crown Prince is already eighteen years old. It's time to choose a Crown Princess in the next two years..."

Prince Chenghe's voice became lower and lower, his eyes flashing with meaningful light as he looked at Marquis Yong'an intently.

Yong'an Hou was slightly startled, then he sneered and said sarcastically: "How dare she think so!"

"Go back and tell your father-in-law not to even think about this matter. I'm really afraid that the emperor will get angry and bring disaster to our families."

"So serious?" Prince Chenghe was surprised.

The selection of a concubine for the crown prince is an important event that will inevitably be put on the agenda, and every family with a daughter would dare to dream of it.

It is impossible since they are cousins ​​in the royal palace, but there is still a chance since they are cousins ​​in the marquisate.

Let’s talk about whether we can be selected or not. It’s too negative not even to think about it.

"Didn't you hear them calling Tang'er Junior Master Uncle before?" Marquis Yong'an reminded in a low voice with a serious expression.

Prince Chenghe was startled again, as if that was how he called Tang'er.

"Even if Xue'er can't do it, can Tang'er also..." Can't do it?

When he thought of this just now, he was thinking that there would always be a chance no matter which one.

Marquis Yong'an shook his head, although he still didn't understand what the relationship between Tang'er and the palace was that made the palace protect and pamper her so much.

But he had a hunch that either Tang'er was the designated candidate for the Emperor and Empress, or... it was absolutely impossible!

As for the answer, he still needs to ask Tang'er for clarification.

His daughter is very opinionated and cannot be treated as an ordinary thirteen-year-old girl.

"Anyway, you've seen how much Tang'er is spoiled. The emperor has his own plan for this matter, so let's not worry about it."

In the end, Marquis Yong'an could only explain it this way.

Prince Chenghe nodded, then nodded again in understanding, without saying anything.

Marquis Yong'an asked someone to call Butler Hu and asked him to take people to send Jiang Yingxue back to Xuexinyuan.

Without his consent, Jiang Yingxue was not allowed to step into the yard, and if she dared to step out, she would be driven out of the house.

Last time she was punished by being grounded for a month and forced to copy ten chapters of the Tao Te Ching, but she followed Princess Kangning to Prince Cheng's Palace the next day.

Princess Kangning could ignore him, but an adopted daughter dared to do the same!

It's time to warn her that if she really makes him dislike her, even Princess Kangning won't be able to protect her.

An adopted daughter who has no blood relationship with the Marquis's Mansion or the royal family, not only dares to stay quiet but also dares to make trouble repeatedly and even dares to covet the prince...

Don't force him to send her back to her own home in the North!

Seeing how cruel he was to Xue'er, Prince Chenghe was shocked. It seemed...
