Li Hongyuan waited for her to approach, took the cloak and put it on, asking, “Huang Ying, have the two children been throwing tantrums these past two days?”
Huang Ying replied, “Your Highness, the young master and young mistress have been very well-behaved and not causing any trouble at all.”
Li Hongyuan nodded and turned to leave.
“Your Highness,” Huang Ying called out to him.
Li Hongyuan looked back.
Huang Ying hesitated for a moment, then said, “This servant can see that Your Highness cares about our young lady in your heart. Our young lady has a temperament that if others treat her well, she will treat them twice as well. If Your Highness treats the young lady kindly, your visits to see the young master and young mistress will be more pleasant in the future.”
“This Prince understands.”
“May I be excused, Your Highness?”
Huang Ying curtsied.
Entering the room, she saw Jiang Ning lost in thought. She walked over and rubbed her mistress’s leg, laughing, “Today His Highness came and his temper has really improved greatly.”
“Really?”
“Yes. Prince Yu is famous for being cold-hearted, and aside from the Emperor and the noble consort, he has never had a kind word for anyone else. Now, when he speaks to the young lady, he is much gentler. This shows that he cares about her in his heart.”
Jiang Ning laughed, “Huang Ying, does one appreciate someone who first slaps them and then offers them a date?”
“This servant doesn’t understand.”
“You will in the future.”
The next day, Lin Zizi sent over a few sets of clothes for Jiang Ning to choose from, intending to take her along to Madam Wenren’s birthday celebration at the Wenren Family residence.
Normally, only legal wives and legitimate daughters could attend such events.
Back when Jiang Ning was not present, Lin Zizi was ill and couldn’t leave the house, so there were no legitimate daughters within the family. Jiang Yuan had taken advantage of this and followed her older sisters out several times.
Now that Jiang Ning had returned, Lin Zizi had recovered, and there was no longer any involvement for concubine-born daughters.
After selecting a set of pink-purple clothes, Jiang Ning instructed Huang Ying and Chunlai to look after the children properly. She only took Xiaoman with her to see Lin Zizi.
Xiaoman was strong, which made pushing the wheelchair and helping her on and off the carriage much more convenient.
Huang Ying was steady and meticulous, leaving her to watch the children was reassuring.
Lin Zizi was also dressed and refreshed, with a radiant smile on her face.
Seeing her daughter, she laughed, “Ningning looks so beautiful.”
“It’s the clothes that are beautiful.”
The clothes were indeed magnificent.
Lin Zizi laughed, “These were my clothes from before. Now, I can’t wear them anymore, but they fit you perfectly. Don’t be repulsed.”
“Ah, these were Mother’s clothes from before? No wonder they are so beautiful.”
“Seeing you wear them makes me think back to when I was young.” Lin Zizi was somewhat nostalgic.
Jiang Yuan and Jiang Yan came over to pay their respects. Seeing Jiang Ning like this, they were both very envious.
Jiang Yan laughed, “Seventh sister’s beauty shines brightly in these clothes, adding more splendor to the already splendid dress. In the past, Mother was considered the number one beauty in Chang’an City, and now, Seventh sister is undoubtedly so as well. It’s right to go out and let them see for themselves.” “What’s there to see? You can’t go anyway.” Jiang Yuan said.
Jiang Yan hung her head.
Before, Jiang Yuan would occasionally go out, but Jiang Yan had never been to any of these high-society gatherings with noble ladies and young misses.
Jiang Ning said, “Mother, since we’re going, why not bring both of them along, it’ll be livelier.”
Lin Zizi looked at the two concubine-born daughters and laughed, “Would you two like to go?”
Jiang Yuan and Jiang Yan exchanged glances.
“Yes!”
“Can I… really go?” Jiang Yan asked, somewhat disbelieving.
“Why not? I’ll be with you.” Lin Zizi said with a full-faced smile.
She was originally a very attractive, gentle and graceful woman. After losing her daughter and being devastated by the news, she hadn’t left the house for over a decade. Now, she was gradually recovering and beginning to regain her former soft gracefulness and beauty..
