Jiang Ning moved on and said, âThis professional matter should be left to the professionals. If the embroidered wedding dress doesnât look good, it is our Jiang Family who will lose face.â
Jiang Yuan was angered with embarrassment, âHow do you know that I wonât embroider it well? Iâve been using needles and threads since I was a child.â
Jiang Ning said, âThere are only a few days left until the wedding, and youâre staying up late every night, your face has turned yellow, your eyes sunken. By the time you get married, people would look at you and say, âOh my, whoâs this old maiden? She must be at least forty years old, right?'â
âYouââ Jiang Yuan stomped her foot, âThird Brother, sheâs bullying me!â
Jiang Yi stood with his arms crossed, his eyes filled with laughter, completely enjoying the show.
With Lin Zizi present, Aunt Bai and Aunt Liu dared not say anything.
Jiang Yan whispered, âFifth Sister, donât be angry. Seventh Sister is saying this for your own good. Yesterday, you stayed up half the night, and your eyes were all red when you woke up.â
âYouâre elbowing towards the outside!â Jiang Yuan glared at her.
âLittle Fifth, what kind of language is that?â Aunt Liu saw Lin Ziziâs displeased look and hurriedly scolded her daughter, âWhat do you mean âelbowing towards the outsideâ? The Princess Consort is our own family!â
Jiang Ning didnât mind at all, and smiled, âAs the saying goes, a married daughter is like water poured out. In a few days, Fifth Daughter will become an outsider.â
Jiang Yuan pursed her lips.
Jiang Ning said, âAh, I suddenly remembered, there is a famous embroiderer in the Manufacture Bureau, who is said to be able to embroider vivid and lifelike dragons and phoenixes. Under the sunlight, it almost looks like they come to life, extremely splendid!â
Jiang Yuan couldnât help but reveal a look of envy and longing upon hearing this.
âDo you want this embroiderer to make your wedding dress?â Jiang Ning asked.
ââ¦How could I possibly order around an embroiderer from the palace?â
âIsnât there still me, the Princess Consort?â
âNo need, I can embroider by myself.â
âOh, let it be then. You can go ahead and wear your self-embroidered wedding dress when you get married.â Jiang Ning turned to talk to Lin Zizi, ignoring her.
This made Jiang Yuan feel anxious.
Itâs a once-in-a-lifetime event, after all.
If she could wear such a magnificent wedding dress to get married, she would definitely amaze everyone in the Countâs residence.
However, she couldnât bring herself to ask Jiang Ning for help and could only watch her get into the carriage with the two little ones.
â¦
Upon returning to the Imperial Palace, Li Tingqian was waiting for her with a face full of anticipation.
His small figure stood on his tiptoes.
Jiang Ning hurried over to hold his hand, âYou must be freezing. Thereâs no need to wait here.â
Li Tingqian, with his little red nose, said, âAunt Jiang didnât return to the palace yesterday. I was worried about you.â
Jiang Ning warmed his little hands and asked, âHas your Fifth Imperial Uncle returned?â
âI didnât see him.â
âHuh, where did he go then?â Jiang Ning was puzzled but asked Li Tingqian, âHave you had breakfast?â
âNot yet.â
âYou have to study every day. How can you do that without eating?â
Li Tingqian pursed his lips and said nothing.
Jiang Ning knew he didnât like the meals prepared by the Imperial Kitchen.
âWhat do you want to eat? Aunt Jiang will make it for you.â
âAs long as Aunt Jiang makes it, Iâll love it!â Li Tingqianâs little face beamed with joy.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Jiang Ning then rolled up her sleeves and entered the kitchen, preparing a few steaming porridges and dishes with the available ingredients and brought them to the table.
She herself hadnât eaten yet.
Lingzi and Wenzan had already eaten their fill and were playing with the little eunuch.
As Jiang Ning and Li Tingqian were eating, Li Hongyuan lifted the curtain and entered.
Li Tingqian quickly stood up and paid respect.
Li Hongyuan responded with a grunt, his eyes fixed on Jiang Ning, and asked, âWhereâs Mu Jian?â
