Standing at the door, staring blankly at the harmonious scene inside, Liu Xiyun's dance is famous in the capital. At first glance, the sky outside is connected to the blue sky, and it seems that the dance is between the mountains and rivers. Xie Shuyan painted this scene on the scroll with pen and ink, and Zhang Wanyuan and the others drank tea and admired it.

And Jiang Ruohua, she was in a particularly good mood!

Playing the piano can make people cultivate their character and make them happy. The master is not deceiving me.

Jiang Ruoting clenched her hands in her sleeves tightly, looking at the harmonious scene in front of her, as if her old friends had excluded her. She knew it was not the case. After all, the friends she chose were all people who abided by their duties. She also knew that Jiang Ruohua was just that kind of person. Since she was pretending to be close to her, it was normal for such a situation to occur, but... but!

But the scene before her made her feel powerless and unwilling!

How many years had she spent trying to make friends with these real ladies from famous families, the future wives of the rich and powerful? But now, in just a moment, it seemed as if they all belonged to Jiang Ruohua!

It was so unfair. God letting Jiang Ruohua be born into this world was the greatest injustice to her!

Liu Xiyun's face turned slightly red, and she noticed Jiang Ruoting coming. She stopped and said, "Sister Jiang, why are you here? Are you feeling better? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. I've rested for a while, and I don't feel uncomfortable anymore." She took a deep breath and held it in. Jiang Ruoting, you can't give up because of such a small change. She put on a smile and said, "I'm sorry to make you worry."

Xie Shuyan pulled her to sit down and said, "Don't you really need to rest for a while?"

"It's okay, Sister Xie, look at me, I'm much better now." Jiang Ruoting smiled and tried to cheer up. Naturally, she no longer had the unhappy look on her face. No matter what, she had to hold it in. Her mother had been planning for her for so many years, so she naturally couldn't lose her temper at this time.

"As long as you don't force yourself, it'll be fine." Xie Shuyan smiled with pursed lips, with helplessness in her eyes, as if Jiang Ruoting always liked to show off her strength on weekdays, and she had long been accustomed to it.

But today, Jiang Ruoting couldn't help but stiffen, and said awkwardly: "...Is it really okay?"

"I'm glad you're okay. Sister Xie and the others miss their second sister very much." Jiang Ruohua was sitting among a group of people. She smiled and waved to Jiang Ruoting, asking her to sit down. "Hurry up and sit down. If you get cold in the wind again,

your aunt will be unhappy when you go back." Jiang Ruoting had just sat down with a smile when Ning Zhiyao poured tea for her and Liu Xiyun. Then she asked curiously, "I just saw it. Is that thing on Sister Liu's head new? What's so dazzling?"

Hearing this, Liu Xiyun took two sips of tea and took off the hairpin on her head with a smile. The gold hairpin was finely engraved with bird patterns, and at the end was a large, transparent and pure prism with a gem-like luster, which was quite different from the pearl, jade and glass gems she usually used.

The Liu family has a daughter in the palace, who is Liu Xiyun's biological aunt, the Concubine Qian, the mother of the seventh prince, Prince Yue, and the fourth and thirteenth princesses. Although the emperor's favor towards her is not as great as that to the Concubine Yi, who is the most favored of all the palaces, as the mother of princes and princesses, and with her mother's family serving in the court, she is definitely respected. She is a concubine and has many fresh rewards. Liu Xiyun's hairpin is most likely from Concubine Qian.

"This is a kind of gem produced from gold sand. It is as transparent as water, pure white, and sparkles in the light. The bigger it is, the rarer it is." Jiang Ruohua would not miss any opportunity to squeeze Jiang Ruoting now. She took it when she saw it. She also had an earring made of this kind of gold sand gem. It was brought to her by her uncle years ago. It was not as big as the treasures in the palace, but it was indeed eye-catching.

Liu Xiyun listened to her and nodded with a smile: "I asked for it from my aunt when I entered the palace a few days ago. It was a reward from the emperor to my aunt. I heard that it was Jinsha’s tribute this year. The emperor gave my aunt a whole set. I begged for a long time to get this one!"

"But I didn’t expect that elder sister Jiang also knew about this thing. When I just asked for it back, my mother scolded me and asked where I got it from. It was so dazzling that she thought it was some kind of monster." As she spoke, the unconvinced look of the little girl appeared on her face. Liu Xiyun is only fourteen this year. It is the time when girls love beauty. She couldn’t help but look proud when she got this rare and luxurious gold hairpin.

"I remember big sister..."

Jiang Ruoting wanted to answer, but before she could finish her words, Jiang Ruohua interrupted her: "I do have a pair of earrings made of Jinsha gemstones, but they are not as small as the hairpins of Sister Liu. In addition to the tributes that Jinsha Kingdom has sent to our Daqi Dynasty over the years, there are also some Jinsha gemstones left over from the large production, but they may not be sold to Daqi Dynasty. My pair of earrings were also brought to me by my uncle who happened to be at the border of the two countries a few years ago. "

Zhang Wanyuan showed envy on her face: "They are really beautiful. The more I look at them, the more I like them. Why don't you lend them to me for two days, sister Liu? I don't have an aunt like you, Concubine Qian, nor do I have an uncle who is a royal merchant like sister Jiang. I have no choice but to use you to have fun!"

"Just take them, but it's agreed that you have to return them to me after two days."

After saying this, the other people also had ideas. They were all women with good character and had a good relationship like sisters. They would often change clothes and jewelry. Girls in their teens always yearn for beauty, but they would not be jealous. The joy became lively.

Except for Jiang Ruoting.

She felt guilty.

"My uncle loves to collect these precious things from everywhere. Most of the jewelry my cousins ​​and I wear were obtained by my uncle from all over the place. If you like them, I will ask him to bring more next year." Jiang Ruohua naturally participated in it, and without thinking too much, she sold her uncle to pave the way for herself. Jiang Ruoting was still young at this time and would not feel guilty, but she would not. If she cared about her face at this time, she would be the one who suffered the loss. She was not stupid, so how could she lose the big picture for the small as she did in the past?

As soon as these words came out, these noble ladies were delighted, and they all said that they would prepare money to buy it when the time came. Jiang Ruoting opened her mouth several times, but found that she had no words to say. Her mind was spinning rapidly. She pulled Jiang Ruohua's sleeve, wanting to remind her as she did before.

Remind Jiang Ruohua that merchants are lowly, and as a noble lady from a famous family, how could she be tainted with the smell of money, so that she would keep silent about her foreign family...

In the past, Jiang Ruohua would never take the initiative to mention her uncle, why was it suddenly different this time?

And Jiang Ruohua simply ignored these little actions. She was very involved in the conversation between the sisters, of course she would not notice these little actions, right?
