The second time she sent out the invitation, Mrs. Ning refused to come.
But the third time, I'm afraid that even without her sending an invitation, Mrs. Ning will have to come.
Madam Nangong could imagine that the entire imperial capital was talking about Su Luo's unprecedented low score of twenty. The Dragon and Phoenix Clan was indeed a little embarrassed this time.
And Madam Ning would not let go of this opportunity.
Ten days later.
The swordsmanship test begins.
As Madam Nangong expected, Madam Ning really came uninvited. Not only did she come by herself, she also brought a new lady with her.
Seeing how respectful she was to that lady, one could tell that she was of high status.
Su Luo did not know the lady with a serious face, but she knew Madam Nangong.
"Prince Jingbei's princess?" Madam Nangong frowned slightly.
In the powerful families of the imperial capital, apart from the royal family, there are two major camps.
The two major camps are the ancient nobility and the emerging nobility.
The ancient nobles are a force headed by the four super hidden families of Nangong, Su, Ning, and Leng, and followed by the eight powerful families.
The emerging nobles are families that are specially supported after the new emperor ascends the throne. Although these families do not have ancient heritage, they all hold important positions in the court, and their own family strength is not low, so they develop very quickly and have the potential to compete with the ancient nobles.
His Majesty, with his imperial ambition, wants these two forces to check and balance each other, so that he can rest assured.
Generally speaking, ancient nobles interact with ancient nobles, and emerging nobles interact with emerging nobles, and the Nangong family, headed by ancient nobles, is particularly so.
But now, Madam Ning not only came herself, but also brought the Princess of Jingbei with her.
By the way, when did she become so close to the Princess of Jingbei, a member of the emerging power?
The person was already at the door, so she naturally couldn't turn him in. Mrs. Nangong could only welcome him in coldly.
And they arrived just in time, as Madam Nangong was just seeing Su Luo off.
Su Luo smiled faintly at Madam Nangong: "Madam, don't worry. You can ridicule Madam Ning however you want today. I will support you."
Madam Nangong was originally scowling, but was immediately amused by Su Luo: "You are not allowed to come back with another 20 points on the test."
Su Luo immediately laughed: "How can that be possible? It must be one hundred and twenty points."
"You little girl." Mrs. Nangong was amused by Su Luo.
Just as they were joking with each other, Madam Ning came in, supporting the Princess of Jingbei, followed by a large group of ladies.
Madam Nangong frowned slightly.
Madam Ning was the first to break the silence: "Sister, we came here uninvited, you won't chase us away, right?"
Madam Nangong snorted inwardly, but glanced at Madam Ning calmly: "What do you think?"
Madam Ning laughed. "Sister is so hospitable, why would she chase us away? I happened to run into the Princess of Jingbei on my way out, and now I'm not getting up. By the way, is Miss Su going out?"
Su Luo smiled faintly.
Madam Ning muttered to herself, "We've come all this way together just to watch your assessment. Don't come back with a score of 20 this time, or we'll be laughed out loud, hahahaha—"
Who can't hear such obvious sarcasm?
Madam Nangong was about to explode on the spot, but Su Luo held Madam Nangong's hand and whispered a few words in her ear.
