However, Cao Yuan was not only good at serving his master, he was also quite capable in managing the house and servants. This also meant that he was going to the palace to help the queen manage the harem.
Zhou Ning'an trusts Cao Yuan very much and treats her as a half-sister.
Of course, Cao Yuan didn't need to deliver the invitations in person. The young ladies from other mansions only had to be middle-level palace maids to deliver the invitations.
Zhou Ning'an couldn't wait to invite Cao Yuan to the Prince of Jingnan's Mansion, so he asked her to come and take a look first and act as a pioneer.
The main person had already arrived and had already taken a look at her on behalf of the Empress. After exchanging a few polite words, Cao Yuan stood up, his smile still radiating. "This time, I am here to deliver an invitation to Miss Jiang. I will hold a tea banquet in the Prime Minister's Mansion in three days. Miss Jiang, please come and visit."
This is just a courtesy. How can I not go if the Queen invites me?
Even if it was scheduled for tomorrow, Jiang Ling would have to postpone her birthday party and attend the Queen's tea-tasting banquet instead.
Jiang Ling took the invitation handed to her by Cao Yuan with both hands. It was made of light blue paper with gold-embossed lace borders.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, it's really beautiful.
Expensive and beautiful.
"Ling'er will definitely go. Thank you for the invitation, Her Majesty. Please take the trouble to convey it to me, Aunt Cao." She raised her little face, her pair of doe eyes were clever and bright, and her voice was sweet.
Cao Yuan nodded secretly, smiled and said that he would definitely pass on the message. After Meng Wanjie and Jiang Ling politely escorted them to the palace gate, he politely took his leave and returned to the palace.
The two returned to the main courtyard in silence. Meng Wanjie stroked the invitation and frowned as she asked, "The Empress is hosting a banquet, so why did she send Aunt Cao?"
She had a hunch that something was wrong and looked at Jiang Ling, "But what do you think of me?"
Or what do you think of Prince Jingnan’s Mansion?
Jiang Ling spread his hands, indicating that he didn't know either.
She suggested, "Why don't you send someone to investigate secretly to see who sent the invitation to Beppu."
Meng Wanjie also had the same idea, but she didn't dare to make a big fuss. After an hour, she went to the Cheng Mansion, An Mansion and other houses of people she was familiar with in the name of delivering snacks.
The answer was, yes, only the invitation to the Jiang Mansion was sent by Aunt Cao, and the rest were just ordinary palace maids.
The mother and daughter sat opposite each other without saying a word.
When Jiang Lianshan and Jiang Yi came back from their official duties and heard about this, they also sat down in silence.
So the four of them sat opposite each other in silence.
Jiang Ling: ...
Could you please stop looking like you're in big trouble? She's scared!
