Usually, there was no need for women to do much during the Yuan Day celebration, but this year, the Emperor had the intention to host the event on a grand scale. Hence, even the royal women of the palace had to get up early and go through their cumbersomely lengthy etiquette to join the event.
Mu Mingtang was wearing a heavy dress which caused her back to be sore. After the congratulatory ceremony was finally over, she immediately found a seat to rest as soon as she was able to move freely.
If she decided to trust Xie Xuanchenâs words again in the future, she would henceforth identify as an idiot!
Mu Mingtang didnât have the energy to deal with anything else today, so she deliberately avoided the crowd. Unexpectedly, even though she hid herself far from conspicuous eyes, someone still managed to chase after her persistently.
Recently, Jiang Mingwei has been enjoying herself. After all, it seemed like she finally had an outlet to vent her pent-up anger that lasted a long time. For a full year and a half, Jiang Mingwei watched Mu Mingtang stand under the spotlight and showed off her might. She watched Xie Xuanchen spend a lot of money on her and witnessed the Emperor and Empress following her all the time. She was even constantly reminded not to pick a fight with Mu Mingtang and to be tolerant yet forgiving.
Sitting in a secluded place to rest, Mu Mingtang sighed annoyedly when she saw Jiang Mingwei coming towards her from afar.
It was really annoying seeing how Jiang Mingwei couldnât ever stop talking.
Jiang Mingwei stopped beside Mu Mingtang and deliberately asked, âSister-in-law, is there anyone sitting here?â
Mu Mingtang secretly rolled her eyes but said, âNo.â
Jiang Mingwei sat down as she wished. After she sat down, the sharp-eyed court lady immediately stepped forward to change a batch of tea for Jiang Mingwei. Princess Jin lifted the lid of the tea and took a sip before she turned around and smiled at Mu Mingtang apologetically, âIt seems that I might have offended my sister-in-law. This humble one is used to drinking fresh Maojian, so other tea leaves are not allowed to be imported as I do not enjoy their taste.â
