This was the first time that Jiang Qingqing had seen such a scene in the princess's mansion. In the past, people from the Ministry of Works would come with blueprints to explain to her what was done on each piece of land and what flowers and plants were to be planted.

As for what it would look like, Jiang Qingqing really had no idea.

As you step into the mansion, you will see a floor-to-ceiling screen wall in front of you. The windows above it are carved with patterns of auspicious clouds and ingots on the wood, which are meant to attract wealth and peace.

After passing the screen wall, there is a hall. In the hall, there is an armchair carved from the finest wood and covered with soft cushions. Jiang Qingqing specially asked the people in the workshop to make it.

The warm rooms on both sides are also used to entertain or keep guests. A wing room and a porch are reserved for the servants in the mansion to rest and guard.

After passing through the courtyard with one entrance and exit, I entered the courtyard behind the second door. The left wing was reserved for Jiang Chen, and the right wing was specially converted into a study. The space for receiving guests in the hall was quite standard.

After passing through the second door and going around the flower path, there is the third courtyard, which is also Jiang Qingqing's real bedroom. The main hall is her bedroom, which is fully furnished. The side rooms on both sides, one has been converted into a warehouse for treasures, and the other is reserved for beds and other rooms.

The princess's residence is mostly white walls and red tiles, with many colorful plants and trees. It looks lively and relaxed, but the white walls and red tiles give people a sense of the majesty of the palace.

Jiang Qingqing brought her people back to the hall on the second door side and sat down.

The princess's mansion is open today, and those invited are some of the people with whom she gets along well on weekdays, including the three princes, as well as Princess Qi Yang, Hong Yan and other young ladies from aristocratic families.

The eldest prince sat firmly on the throne, his eyes fixed on the floor in front of him.

The second prince stood up and walked around the hall. Jiang Chen sat on one side with Princess Qi Yang, talking about what to eat at the Princess's mansion tonight.

"Your Highness, if you feel there is anything wrong, please tell us." The Minister of Works looked at Jiang Qingqing with a flattering smile and said carefully.

After Jiang Qingqing and the Minister of Works praised the perfection of the Princess's Mansion, she asked Gan Yuan and Gan Lin to personally send these ministers to the front hall to attend the party.

When Princess Qi Yang saw the outsiders leave, she stood up and walked to Jiang Qingqing.

"At the banquet today, I noticed that Marquis Chi of Nanguan was not present. Did you do that on purpose?" Princess Qi Yang sat down next to her and asked in a low voice.

Jiang Qingqing was busy for a long time and finally got the chance to drink tea.

"Chi Dao and I don't get along, and everyone in Kyoto knows it. Not inviting them here will, firstly, show that I don't care about face, so that those people don't need to be polite to me, and secondly..."

She slowed down her tone for a moment.

"Secondly, when I look at Chi Dao, I can't wait to beat him up again."

Princess Qi Yang raised the corner of her eyebrows and nodded in understanding.

"Third uncle should be meeting father in the palace at this time. Cousin, why don't you go to see your father?" Jiang Qingqing changed the subject and directed her criticism at Princess Qi Yang.

Princess Qiyang waved her hands quickly, "Since my father knew he was going to the capital, he specially brought that person with him. If I don't go, I will have to meet people. He asked me to hide here with you for a few days."

Jiang Chen sneered, attracting the attention of everyone in the back hall. At Jiang Qingqing's suggestive look, he cleared his throat slightly and pretended to turn his head to look outside to see the scenery.

People came to congratulate one after another. Gan Yuan and Gan Lin were busy receiving the gifts in the front hall. They were overwhelmed with staff. Jiang Qingqing thought about it and asked someone to transfer Xin Juan out from the palace.

After hearing the news, Gan Yuan took advantage of the time when no one was around and hurried to the middle hall to find Jiang Qingqing.

"Your Highness, you just called her out of the palace like this..."

Gan Yuan was about to say something but Jiang Qingqing interrupted her appropriately.

"There is a shortage of staff, but it will be noisy if there are too many people. The princess's mansion cannot afford any mistakes." Jiang Qingqing raised her hand and patted Gan Yuan's shoulder, then turned around and went about doing other things.

Gan Yuan shook his head helplessly and had to go back to the front hall to continue writing down the gifts.

The person in front of him shouted at the top of his voice, "Lanling Xiao family, we are sending you three boxes of cloth and a set of gold headgear~"

When Gan Lin heard the name Lanling Xiao Clan, he thought of Prince Xiao Linting and quickly asked Xin Juan to put the things away separately.

The one who came to deliver the gift this time was none other than Nafu who was sent by Prince Xiao's Mansion.

Nafu saw that there were three people receiving gifts. He looked at the most unfamiliar palace maid who was closest to him. Logically, he should have given the gift to her.

But Nafu avoided her and went straight to Gan Lin, then took out an envelope and a separate sachet from his arms.

"The prince specially sent someone to rush it from the border to the princess personally."

Gan Lin was stunned at first, but soon felt Xin Juan's inquiring gaze, and she quickly took the thing from Nafu's hand.

"I understand."

Nafu nodded with satisfaction, turned around and followed the servant to the next room to take his seat.

Gan Lin winked at Gan Yuan, and then said to Xin Juan, "Aunt Xin Juan, please help me. I'll go to the backyard to see if there's any space in the storeroom for the gifts."

After saying that, Gan Lin hurried back to the central hall.

Jiang Qingqing was chatting with the Second Prince about the recent performance of shops in the capital. As they were talking, they saw Gan Lin hurried back.

"What's wrong? Didn't you come over just now?" Jiang Qingqing looked at the maid who came to see her frequently and felt that today was really strange.

The second prince restrained his talkative nature a little, coughed dryly, and turned to drink tea.

Gan Lin carefully invited Jiang Qingqing to go to the warm room next door. There was no one in the room, so she took out two objects from her arms.

"The prince sent Nafu to deliver gifts. These are two separate items. He asked me to deliver them to you personally." Gan Lin is prudent in his work.

Jiang Qingqing put the envelope neatly into her sleeve, but she was still curious about the treasure bag.

Under Gan Lin's gaze, she took out a small or medium-sized seal wrapped in red cloth from the brocade bag.

"?" Jiang Qingqing was stunned for a moment.

Gan Lin also scratched his head, "This... I heard others say that it is normal to give gifts such as headgear and hairpins when one comes of age, but I have never heard of this. As for giving a seal when one comes of age, didn't Your Highness have a seal on his desk before?"

Speaking of the seal, Jiang Qingqing couldn't help but recall the scene five years ago when Xiao Linting secretly came to Huaning Palace under the cover of night to give her the seal.

She opened the red cloth swiftly and saw the small square seal with Jiang Qingqing's name and the words "In the Mood for Love" carved on it.

This is another way to celebrate her coming of age.

For no reason, Jiang Qingqing smiled silently, and a little warmth gradually arose in her heart.
