Yang Ying felt that even those noblewon, let alone the Young Master, looked down on her.
She had tried so hard to ingratiate herself with them, only to be used at their convenience and then discarded.
She caught sight of Yun Jiao and Chu Danning and quickly walked towards them.
She thought that perhaps only these two would accept her identity.
She bowed deeply and said with her head lowered, "Miss Gu, I’m really sorry. Earlier, I didn’t know that when they called you over, it was to, it was to·······"
She couldn’t continue, as she had vaguely known Yan Pei’s intention, but couldn’t afford to care just to ingratiate herself with them.
Yun Jiao waved her hand, "It’s not your fault, co on, let’s go admire the plum blossoms together."
She smiled at Yang Ying, "Oh, our cloaks happen to be the sa color, even the floral patterns are sowhat similar."
Yang Ying hurriedly said, "If Miss Gu doesn’t like it, I’ll take it off."
Yun Jiao laughed, "Why would I? It’s quite interesting this way; people who don’t know might think we’re sisters."
The three of them walked together hand in hand into the plum forest.
In the Princess’s plum forest, there were not only red, white, and pink plums, but also two rare green plum trees.
Yan Pei and Ling Wei were hovering beside a green plum tree.
Ling Wei forcefully plucked a plum blossom, "I hate that girl so much, I’ve never hated anyone like this before."
Yan Pei glanced at Jiang Youzhi far away, who was speaking with soone, "I hate her too."
These two often couldn’t help but mock each other when together, but now they were strangely harmonious.
Ling Wei squinted at her, "You always have so mischievous ideas to tornt people, how co you’re out of tricks today?"
Yan Pei snorted, "Aren’t you usually sharp-tongued? How co you’re at a loss today?"
The two rolled their eyes at each other, and Ling Wei said, "What’s the use of talking here, anyway, that girl has triumphed today."
Yan Pei was about to say sothing when suddenly she brightened up, exclaiming excitedly, "My brother is here." She added in her heart, I have a plan.
Ling Wei pursed her lips and looked into the distance, indeed seeing Yan Beichen and Prince Ping coming towards the plum forest.
Before entering the plum forest, the two first greeted the Princess.
The Princess was slightly taken aback when she saw them.
She hadn’t invited Yan Beichen, only the Second Prince, Prince Ping.
Yan Beichen was notorious in the Capital City for his lustfulness; she couldn’t possibly have invited him after inviting so many young ladies.
Although he couldn’t do anything here, sotis even an indecent gaze was detestable.
Nevertheless, since he was already here, the Princess couldn’t very well eject him, so she exchanged a few perfunctory words with them.
After Prince Ping and Yan Beichen left the Warm Pavilion, the Princess instructed Nanny Yuan, "Have soone set up screens, and at the upcoming banquet, seat the ladies on one side and the n on the other."
Nanny Yuan quickly had people start moving the screens into place.
Fortunately, the Princess Mansion was large.
The Warm Pavilion was spacious, usually with several screens on hand. The servants quickly moved two six-panel Zitan wood embroidered screens into the middle, effectively dividing the views between the two sides.
Yun Jiao, Chu Danning, and Yang Ying walked leisurely in the plum forest, chatting unknowingly until they reached its edge. Just as they were admiring a red plum blossom, a maid approached and bowed to them, "Ladies, our Miss invites you to go over there for so verse improvisation."
