"I am very pleased that you didn't help the Yang family's daughter today!"
Ni Yueshuang's eyes lit up, "Father, since you know Yueshuang has done nothing wrong, you should punish my elder sister. The troubles in the palace were caused by my elder sister alone!"
Ni Yueshan didn't bother to argue. She knelt on the ground. Ni Gaofei looked at her and asked, "Who started it first?"
"Yang Wanqing." Ni Yueshan uttered three words lightly.
"Today, thanks to the Second Prince's intervention, otherwise, you wouldn't be able to explain yourself even if you had a lot of mouths all over your body!"
"Father is absolutely right." Ni Yueshan knelt on the ground. She was also surprised that Jing Yuchen spoke for her. Wasn't Jing Yuchen afraid that Zou Yangyao would have a conflict with him because of this and defect to the Fourth Prince?
"Yueshuang, go down first."
Ni Yueshuang glanced at Ni Yueshan, wanting to ask what he planned to do with Ni Yueshan, but after opening her mouth, she said nothing and retreated obediently.
After Ni Yueshuang left, Ni Gaofei looked at Ni Yueshan, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked, "Do you know what you did wrong today?"
"There was a conflict with Yang Wanqing."
Ni Yueshan answered calmly, as if he had never thought of defending himself.
"It's good that you admit your mistakes. Go to the ancestral hall and kneel down!"
"yes."
Ni Yueshan retreated respectfully. In fact, it didn't matter if Ni Gaofei asked these questions. She was just afraid that Ni Gaofei would ask her how she learned martial arts, how she learned poetry...
Ni Yueshuang was not punished and felt greatly relieved. She happily went to Tian You's room and told him about the banquet.
Compared to Ni Yueshuang's joy, Tian You's face was filled with worry. "Did the Second Prince really say he'd hold a poetry gathering in a few days and invite that little bitch Ni Yueshan?"
"I told you, my daughter thinks this is just something the Second Prince said casually, and it can't be taken seriously at all!"
Tian You, however, had a questioning look on his face: "Just be more careful! Why can't you take it seriously? She's the daughter of the Prime Minister's family, so what if she's ugly? Just because she's been divorced, it's easier for her to get married. Just be a concubine! By taking a concubine, he has the Prime Minister's family as a backer. The Second Prince is really calculating!"
Ni Yueshuang's eyes widened. "No way! I hadn't thought of that. Today, the Second Prince spoke up for that bitch, Ni Yueshan. At that moment, I thought, if I help Yang Wanqing today, it would be the same as offending the Second Prince. How can I marry him in the future?"
"That's why I was so heartbroken to help that bitch Ni Yueshan. But, mother, now that you put it that way, I'm wrong, absolutely wrong. What if the Second Prince really has his eyes on me and wants to take me as his concubine?"
Her face was filled with worry, her eyes filled with anxiety. The wound on Tian You's back had begun to scab over. She reluctantly sat up and said, "Don't panic. Even though Ni Yueshan has been invited to the Second Prince's poetry gathering, as her sister and an unmarried girl from the Prime Minister's residence, you still have a chance to go. Remember to perform well!"
Ni Yueshuang immediately became energetic as if she had received an injection of chicken blood. "Mother is absolutely right. I will definitely behave well. Even if Ni Yueshan enters the prince's mansion in the future, she will only be a concubine, and I will be the legal wife!"
Tian You reached out and poked Ni Yueshuang's head: "Why don't you go and change out of this maid's outfit?"

A few days later, Jing Yuchen indeed held a poetry gathering and sent an invitation to the Ni family, but there was only one invitation...
Ni Yueshan took a quick glance at Jing Yuchen. She couldn't figure out what he was thinking. What did he want her to do by sending him an invitation?
Even if he didn't really help her out of kindness last time, he did help her out of trouble. Shouldn't she give him some face and go to the meeting?
Ren Mei was combing Ni Yueshan's hair. "Miss, the Second Prince helped you at the palace banquet. You should go anyway."
Ren Mei had already dealt with the affairs at home and started staying in the prime minister's residence to serve Ni Yueshan.
"But this trip is bound to be full of twists and turns."
Jing Yuchen wasn't a simple man. She was afraid he had bad intentions and might humiliate her after he went there. It was also possible...
"Just go. I've never been afraid of anything."
Ren Mei happily went to look through the cabinets: "Miss, you have quite a lot of clothes, and my taste is not very good, why don't you choose one for me?"
"Something simpler would be fine."
Inside Zhuzhi Pavilion, Ni Yueshuang looked at the servants and frowned, "You said that Ni Yueshan has received the invitation?"
"Yes, I'm choosing clothes in my room now."
"Haha, that ugly bastard, what's there to pick on? No matter how much you choose, it can't compare to one of my fingers!"
After she finished speaking proudly, she began to feel depressed: "Did the Second Prince really only invite her and forget about me?"
But she testified on behalf of Ni Yueshan in order to prevent Jing Yuchen from hating her.
She risked offending the Imperial Concubine and the Yang family to help Jing Yuchen, but he was unwilling to even give her an invitation?
Ni Yueshuang felt that she could not accept it...
"Why, that ugly girl! It must be because of her identity! Why was she divorced and brought shame to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and still, she can be treated specially!"
Ni Yueshuang angrily started to take things from the room, and the servants did not dare to stop her.
The next day, the carriage was already ready outside the mansion. Ni Yueshan went out, but Ni Yueshuang was guarding the gate, with Ni Yingying standing beside her.
Ni Yueshan saw the two of them, but pretended not to see them and walked towards the carriage.
Ni Yueshuang followed, but Ren Mei stopped her and said, "Second Miss, Third Miss, what are you doing? Our eldest lady is going to attend the invitation of the Second Prince."
"So do we."
Ni Yueshuang had a matter-of-fact expression on her face.
Ren Mei glanced at Ni Yueshan, waiting for Ni Yueshan's hint.
Ni Yueshan chuckled, "Second sister, you want to go? Then find your own carriage! Don't follow me. Someone who doesn't know would think I took you there. After all, you insisted on going without an invitation. I can't afford to lose face like that!"
Ni Yueshuang was shameless enough to attend the poetry reading today, and when Ni Yueshan said this, she was already embarrassed and angry.
"Third sister, let's take another carriage!"
Ni Yingying said hesitantly, "I, I don't really want to go either. Otherwise, why don't you and the eldest sister go?"
Ni Yueshuang glared at Ni Yingying: "I asked you to go so that you can see the world!"
Ni Yingying must be feeling aggrieved, so she wants to drag her down with her into shame, right?
She didn't believe what he said was for her own good.
After Ni Yueshan got on the carriage, the carriage started moving.
At the Second Prince's residence, many people had already arrived at the banquet. Ni Yueshan had participated in a poetry reading once, so he had a rough idea of what it was like.
At the door, Ren Mei took out the invitation. The servant took a look at it and quickly invited the person in.
Following closely behind, Ni Yueshuang also got off the carriage and rushed inside.
The servant stopped Ni Yueshuang and said, "Miss, everyone coming to the poetry gathering needs to show an invitation."
