In order to avoid rush hour traffic, Jiang Xueying and Chen Simin arrived at the palace early.
Both of them wore new clothes and new jewelry today, and behaved very carefully, for fear of being found wrong by others.
After all, most of the people who came to the palace today were people of prominent status, and if they accidentally said something wrong or did something wrong, they could get into trouble at any time.
Moreover, this is a good opportunity for them to understand the Beijing elite circle, and it also provides them with good reference data for future work.
Chen Simin was still a little nervous at the moment. It was her first time attending such a grand event. She was afraid that she might not do something well, so she followed Jiang Xueying in everything.
A maid handed her tea, and she was so nervous that she almost dropped the cup when she took it. Fortunately, Jiang Xueying stepped in in time to help catch it and avoided an embarrassing situation.
Seeing that Chen Simin was very nervous, Jiang Xueying patted her hands, signaling her to relax, and calmly placed the teacup on the table beside her. She whispered, "Simin, don't be nervous. They are just ordinary people, no different from you and me. Besides, don't I have you with me?"
In Jiang Xueying's mind, there is no distinction between high and low, they are all just ordinary people.
After hearing what she said, Chen Simin's tense nerves relaxed a little. She almost made a fool of herself because of something just now. Fortunately, Jiang Xueying helped her in time, otherwise those noble ladies in the capital would have laughed at her, and if the news got out, it would have brought shame to Suining Xin.
"Sister Jiang, I... I'm still a little nervous. I wish I could be as calm as you."
Chen Simin was a little envious. It was obviously the first time for Jiang Xueying to attend such a banquet, but she looked normal. Even if she wanted to learn, she couldn't. After all, who can control the feeling in her heart?
Jiang Xueying smiled and said, "You can do it too. Don't think about the identities of those people. Just treat it as an ordinary banquet."
She chatted with Chen Simin for a while, but she also knew that Chen Simin's temper would definitely not be able to be adjusted in a short period of time.
However, she still had to go find Madam Ming as she had more important things to do. She also didn't know how Ming Rulan was doing now, or whether this matter would go smoothly. She wanted to find out.
"Simin, please sit here for a while. I'll go see if Madam Ming is here. Got it?"
There are still very important things to do today. Chen Simin naturally knew that Jiang Xueying would not easily be noticed if she acted alone. Even though she was a little afraid of being alone, she still nodded.
"Go ahead, Sister Jiang, I'll be waiting for you here!"
"good!"
After the two of them had discussed it, Jiang Xueying got up and left, but she was stopped by someone just as she walked through a corridor.
Looking closely, it turned out to be my old acquaintance Jiang Xueshu.
She... why is she here? Isn't she pregnant and planning to get married to Hu Tianyu? Why is she in the capital?
At this moment, Jiang Xueshu's eyes were filled with contempt as he looked Jiang Xueying up and down, his tone full of sarcasm.
"Oh, who did you think it was? I thought I was seeing things just now. It turns out it's you. How did you get to the capital? Did you hear that daddy was going to take our family to the capital and followed us eagerly? But it's strange. Someone like you shouldn't be here. Are you thinking of some shameful tricks again?"
If someone else heard this, they would definitely be furious, but Jiang Xueying didn't take it seriously. She was still thinking about what Jiang Xueshu had just said. It turned out that the original owner's father had brought all the Jiang family members to the capital, but this Jiang Xueshu...
Jiang Xueying subconsciously looked at her belly, only to see that it was flat, so the child must have been disposed of.
"Hey, Jiang Xueying, I'm asking you a question, what are you looking at?"
Jiang Xueshu immediately got angry when she noticed Jiang Xueying's gaze on her belly. Ever since that incident, the thing she hated most was other people staring at her belly.
Compared to Jiang Xueshu's excitement, Jiang Xueying's tone was calm and indifferent: "Of course I walked in with dignity. If you are not convinced, you can go and argue with the princess."
"Bah, Jiang Xueying, you don't have to bring up the princess. Oh, I see, you came here with that stinky girl named Chen. I heard that her husband passed the imperial examination and became a minor official, with only that much ability. Do you think you can climb up the social ladder by entering the palace? You're dreaming."
Jiang Xueshu's words were full of thorns, and she did not hide her disgust for Jiang Xueying at all. She even naively wanted to drive her out of the palace.
This attitude was so arrogant that Jiang Xueying just found it ridiculous.
"Haha, Jiang Xueshu, whether I climb the ladder or not, and whose ladder I climb, seems to have nothing to do with you. I advise you to be more restrained. This is the palace of the king, not the Jiang residence, and there is no wall that is impenetrable. Do you think that no one will know about the things you did in the past when you come to the capital?"
"you……"
Jiang Xueshu was stunned. She didn't expect that she was so eloquent and dared to issue a warning.
She was so angry that she decided to teach her a lesson today so that she would remember it.
Before they could open their mouths, Jiang Xue Ning appeared in time and looked at the two of them with a frown.
"Okay, what are you doing here, Shu'er? Even if the third sister can come to the palace, it must be because the princess invited her, otherwise she can't come in at all. Besides, Xueying is your third sister after all, so be careful with your words."
"Sister, I..."
Jiang Xueshu was interrupted by Jiang Xuening before she could finish her words.
"I just said, this is the palace, no fooling around."
At the same time, she gave Jiang Xueshu a look, asking her to be more restrained.
It would be terrible if this were seen by the servants in the palace and then got to the princess's ears. They would say that the young lady of the Jiang family does not know etiquette. She cannot afford to lose face like that. How can she gain a foothold in the Jiang family in the future?
Jiang Xueshu also understood what she meant. Remembering that she had finally come to the capital, she couldn't make her elder sister angry, so she had to shut up reluctantly, snorted coldly, and said nothing more.
"Third sister, I apologize to you on behalf of Shu'er. She was indeed a little impulsive just now. Even a child doesn't know how to talk properly. We are sisters after all. There may be some misunderstandings between us. Don't take her words to heart."
Her words were tantamount to a gesture of goodwill towards her.
Jiang Xueying could never understand why Jiang Xuening was so kind to her, as if she really cared about the sisterhood that never existed. However, she didn't believe that the women of the Jiang family would be so kind. She just glanced at her lightly, without stopping for a moment, and turned and left.
She didn't want to be with them. They would do both good and bad things for her, and in the end they would probably blame her.
She wanted to stay as far away from the Jiang family as possible.
Jiang Xueshu looked at Jiang Xueying's arrogant back as she left, feeling so angry that her teeth were itching, but she didn't dare to disobey Jiang Xuening's words.
