Chapter 54 What Happened to My Second Sister?



The Queen smiled lovingly at Princess Shangyang, and was relieved to see that her daughter was very happy today: "I have seen the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, and she is a good girl. You have talked to her today. If you think she is okay, why not let her be your study partner?"

This daughter has been precocious since she was a child, and the matter of having a study partner has been delayed. Although having a study partner is not a big deal for a princess, the Queen only has this one daughter, and she just thinks that a girl of that age should always have a close friend to talk to.

Unfortunately, the queen looked down on those women who admired the imperial power. Those who were indifferent to this would inevitably appear dull, and they could not get along with Princess Shangyang. This had been a difficult problem in the queen's heart for so many years. Now she finally saw an opportunity to solve it. Seeing her daughter so happy, the queen liked Jiang Ruohua more and more.

Princess Shangyang did have this intention, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was a bit inappropriate: "Mother, let's talk about it later. After meeting her today, I feel that the rumors outside are not true. I am happy to appoint her as my companion at this moment, but it is inevitable that there will be rumors."

The queen nodded. This was true. The emperor was suspicious. He had to be suspicious of the Jiang family when he valued them. Therefore, he could not give Jiang Ruohua no face, nor could he not praise her at all. Thinking of this, there was nothing she could do, so she put the matter of accompanying her son

to study on hold for a while. "Okay, whatever Dai'er says is what it is." The Queen held Princess Shangyang in her arms. Only at this moment was she not the Queen, but just a mother. As the sun set, Jiang Ruohua returned home with gifts, most of which were given to her by Princess Shangyang. Although they were not treasures, royal gifts were inevitably more valuable than those sold outside. Even if she was careful not to publicize them, someone would still see them, especially the Jiang family members who saw them most clearly. "Young lady, this time it's a blessing in disguise. You've won the favor of Her Royal Highness the Princess. Your future is just around the corner!" "Young lady is really a blessed person!" Jiang Ruohua ordered the servants to put the things away and store them well. Things given by the royal family are not to be stolen by others, but stealing and misusing gifts is a serious crime, and idle people are not allowed to even touch them. Because of this, all these things are sent to the warehouse like water, which is bound to make people jealous. After a quick glance around, she saw Jiang Ruoting standing aside. Although she had a smile on her face, she looked a little unnatural. Jiang Ruohua smiled and asked, "What's wrong with Second Sister? Are you feeling unwell?" As soon as she said this, Jiang Ruoting's smile froze. Seeing this, the Third Madam was a little annoyed that Jiang Ruoting was so impatient. She pretended to be helpless and said, "She was just a little bit cold, but she insisted on waiting for you to come back." "Ah?" Worry instantly appeared on her face. Jiang Ruohua reached out to hold Jiang Ruoting and said, "Then go into the house quickly. The servants can do it." As she was about to pull Jiang Ruoting into the house, Jiang Ruoting immediately came to her senses after being glared at by the Third Madam. She pursed her lips and said, "I'm worried about you, elder sister. When you came to the palace, I felt like you had been gone for a long time. I have to see you to feel at ease." Jiang Ruoting could say high-sounding words, and she would naturally do so. Jiang Ruohua was intimate with Jiang Ruoting. Ting smiled and said, "What could possibly happen? Auntie, I will not forget the rules that the maids taught me before, so don't worry. Princess Shangyang is a very nice person, not as unkind as the rumors say. I just talked to her for a long time and forgot the time, so I came back a little late." If you like to hear high-sounding words, then listen more. Jiang Ruohua held Jiang Ruoting intimately and told her what happened today with Princess Shangyang. Did you hear it? She has a good relationship with Princess Shangyang! It only took one day! Looking at Jiang Ruoting with innocent big eyes, Jiang Ruohua felt very comfortable watching Jiang Ruoting's slightly unnatural compliments. Very happy, she is really happy now. "Her Royal Highness the Princess also said that she would invite me to travel with her again when she is free in the future!" Jiang Ruohua said excitedly, glancing at Jiang Ruoting to see her changes. Are you jealous? Be a little more jealous and don't be polite to her! The Third Madam smiled and put her hands on their shoulders. She squinted her eyes and said kindly, "Okay, okay, sit down and talk. It is really a happy event for our Jiang family that Hua'er can be appreciated by Princess Shangyang." This gave Jiang Ruoting a chance to ease her expression. After sitting down in the main hall, Jiang Ruohua's face did not reduce the excitement of a little girl. She turned her head and begged the Third Madam, "By the way, auntie, Hua'er has a small request." "You girl, what's the matter with you?" The Third Madam pretended to be at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and said dotingly. "Hua'er wants mother's manor with a horse farm in the suburbs of Beijing." After paving so much for her close relationship with Princess Shangyang, it's time to reveal the real purpose. Jiang Ruohua looked expectantly in her eyes and said in a sweet voice, "Okay, auntie!" The third lady's smile couldn't help but freeze, but she still said patiently, "Why do you want the manor, Hua'er? The manor has not been doing well. If Hua'er is interested in being a housekeeper, why not try it small first? Auntie has a jewelry shop, you can go and have a look with your second sister." "No, auntie, Hua'er wants to use it to entertain people." Jiang Ruohua knew this would happen, so in order to get the manor, she had been planning it early. If she asked directly, the Third Lady would certainly give her one casually like this. Outsiders would think that the Third Lady was right. After all, although the farm was not doing very well, it was not a small amount of money. You couldn't allow someone who knew nothing to squander it at will. And the small shop was fine for the children to practice their skills. The shop was still the Third Lady's own shop. If she did well, the Third Lady would benefit. If she didn't do well, the Third Lady would also earn a good reputation. But after Jiang Ruohua woke up from her dream, she would never let the Third Lady make a move again. Today, she not only had to take the farm, but also let the Third Lady give it to her willingly! "Entertain people?" The third lady had a bad feeling in her heart, "Hua'er seems to have made friends with a young lady, but the horse farm is not suitable for young girls like you. Why don't you rent a tea garden, or hold a banquet at home to invite them?" "But Her Royal Highness the Princess doesn't like too many people." Jiang Ruohua said seriously, "I just wanted to find a new way to play. Invite Her Royal Highness the Princess and the sisters from the Xie and Zhang families, as well as the second sister, so that we can have a small gathering. Her Royal Highness the Princess has always remembered that the second sister and the sisters from the Xie family helped cover up on the shore. Going to the tea garden is too ostentatious. What's more, it's just the same thing to play back and forth, which is boring!"
