When Jiang Wan came in, she clearly stuffed a purse into the guard's hand, and then the guard let her in with a smile. If this isn't bribery, what is?
So the guard looked respectful, but she thought he was talking to the noble lady behind Jiang Wan.
After all, the distance between them is not far at all.
"Your Highness, this is my invitation."
Jiang Wan took out the invitation from her sleeve and handed it to the maid beside her. Seeing this, the maid quickly presented it to the Grand Princess.
At just one glance, the Grand Princess recognized that it was indeed an invitation to the Prince of Yue's Palace.
She was indeed the girl that the emperor brought back.
"It is indeed a genuine invitation. What are you going to say?"
The Grand Princess's gaze fell on Jiang Yue. Although Jiang Yue was shocked, she forced herself not to lose her composure.
"Please forgive me, Grand Princess. I was the one who was caught in the act, but I was also concerned for my niece's safety. I hope the Grand Princess will understand."
"I don't like what you said, aunt. Before, when I was at the door, I told you that I had an invitation, but you didn't believe me. I never thought that you would tell the Grand Princess about this, and now this incident has happened."
When Jiang Yue heard this, her expression changed slightly, but soon, a smile appeared on her face again.
"Wanwan, you must be holding a grudge against your aunt because your grandparents treated your family so badly before, right?"
"After all, we are a family. Now that you are here, I have taken your grandparents to the capital. Why don't you go with your aunt to visit them after the banquet? They have been thinking about you all the time."
miss?
I guess he's wondering when she'll die?
"Aunt, have you forgotten that our two families have severed ties? Your family remembers what you did in the past and dares not try to establish any connection with you."
After saying this, Jiang Wan no longer gave Jiang Yue a chance to speak.
"Your Highness, I'm sorry to make you laugh."
"No problem."
The eldest princess waved her hand. She had never thought that this little girl would be so straightforward.
"Since this is a misunderstanding, let's just let it go. Don't bring these unfounded things to me again in the future."
Although there was no punishment, Jiang Yue clearly heard the threat from the Grand Princess.
"yes."
She gritted her teeth secretly.
Damn it, this time not only did I fail to drag Jiang Wan into this, but I ended up making the Grand Princess hate me.
"Wanwan, you're so great!"
"Um?"
Hearing Minghua's excited voice, Jiang Wan was a little confused.
"I just heard that woman call you Wanwan. Can I call you that too?"
Girl, you've already called me like that, isn't it a little late to ask now?
"Can."
Just a name.
As Minghua finished her voice, a young girl came up behind her.
"Aruan, this is Wanwan, a good friend I just met."
The girl named A Ruan looked at Jiang Wan and frowned slightly.
"Miss Jiang."
"Who is this?"
Jiang Wan looked at Minghua.
The girl in front of him had a pair of almond-shaped eyes, curved willow-shaped eyebrows, a small and tall nose that was slightly wrinkled, and her red lips were trembling.
"Wanwan, this is Xi Ruan, she's also my friend. You can call her Ah Ruan."
"Ms. Xi."
Jiang Wan looked at the other party and nodded. It seemed that Miss Xi didn't like her very much, so she naturally wouldn't curry favor with someone who didn't like her.
Xi Ruan simply nodded, his eyes fixed on Minghua.
"Minghua, have you forgotten that your uncle and aunt asked you to come to this banquet and not cause trouble? There are so many people at the banquet, don't try to be the center of attention, and don't lose your composure as a Miss Chen."
The smile on Jiang Wan's face faded a little. This Miss Xi Ruan didn't seem as friendly as she appeared.
"In that case, I'll take my leave first."
After she left, Minghua looked at A Ruan in front of him with some displeasure.
"Aruan, how could you be like this? Wanwan is not a bad person, why are you saying this?"
"Minghua, you're too trusting. After only meeting her once, how can you be sure she's a good person?"
Xi Ruan frowned and disagreed with Minghua's words.
What Jiang Wan said in front of everyone just now was merciless. No matter how useless Jiang Yue was, she was still her aunt. If she treated her relatives like this, what about her friends?
"But Fang, that wasn't Wanwan's fault. If Jiang Yue really treated her as her niece, why would she say such things in front of others?"
"Besides, we don't know their past, so we can't jump to conclusions like this."
"Ah Ruan, I can tell that Wanwan is a good person. You don't have to worry right now. At worst, I can explain everything to my parents myself when I get home."
After saying this, she turned around and left the spot, chasing in the direction of Jiang Wan, leaving Xi Ruan alone.
"Have you heard that this year's Wanxiu Festival is different from previous years? It is said that the Grand Princess is also involved in this event."
"How could this be? Why would the Grand Princess be interested in this?"
In a pavilion not far away, a figure was sitting inside, holding a round fan and talking about the interesting things that happened recently.
"I heard that the embroidery workshop that wins the Ten Thousand Embroidery Festival will be responsible for making the palace dress for the Empress Dowager's birthday."
"But aren't all the Empress Dowager's clothes made by the Imperial Clothing Bureau?"
"I heard that this time they wanted to give the Empress Dowager a surprise. After all, the styles in the palace are probably familiar to her, but there are many rare styles outside the palace..."
"It seems that this Wanxiu Festival is going to be very lively."
When Jiang Wan heard this, her eyes flashed slightly. She turned around and unexpectedly met Jiang Yue who came out from the corner.
