After being reborn in the Mass Grave, she overturned her predecessor's power

Because of Xuan Lin's death, the Duke of Xuan's palace closed its doors to observe mourning, and the war in the northwest was raging.

Jiang Xuening was still recovering from her injuries behind closed doors, and she was extremely peaceful.

She was waiting for an opportunity, and Jiang Xuening wrote the word "Mid-Autumn Festival" on the paper with a brush and circled it.

Today is a holiday for the Central Government, and officials do not need to go to court. It was not easy for the Jiang family to gather together.

The eldest lady is planning to make up for the reception banquet that failed to take place tonight, so that everyone can enjoy it together.

Qinghe whispered to her, "All the young masters and ladies of the Jiang family should be here. What will the princess wear tonight?"

This is a good question worth thinking about. It’s inappropriate to wear something too flashy, and it’s easy to be overshadowed by something too plain.

Jiang Xuening put down the brush in her hand and crumpled the paper on the table, "I don't want to go..."

"Ah..." Qing He said worriedly, "This is not good."

After all, it was the first family dinner since returning home, so it would be hard not to go without making people think too much.

Jiang Xuening lowered her eyes. She didn't want to have too much interaction with the Jiang family, let alone have much to do with the Jiang family. This was never her home.

The Jiang family would never agree to what she wanted to do.

"Go and tell the eldest lady that my hand hurts so much that I won't join in the fun tonight."

Qinghe said "Hey" and went away with a sad face.

Jiang Xuening asked Caiyue on the side, "Have you visited the Qingzhou Prince's house?"

Caiyue replied, "I have visited it personally. The house is well maintained. You can move in after cleaning it up."

Jiang Xuening nodded, "When I have time, I will go and see it myself."

Although Lin Fu's hometown is in Qingzhou, as a prince with military power, he naturally has a house in Shengjing.

The Qingzhou Palace in Shengjing occupies a large area and has a quiet environment. It is not located in the East City where the powerful are concentrated.

She planned to find a suitable time and move out directly. Anyway, she was a princess personally granted the title by the emperor, so she had a suitable reason.

She doesn't like the Jiang family, and she doesn't want to be restrained here.

Her absence from the family dinner was quickly reported to the old lady.

The old lady said in a deep voice, "It's really a thorn in the side. It doesn't make people worry at all."

Grandma Li didn't dare to say a word. She finally saw that the new person who came back was not a good person.

The old lady told Nanny Li, "Go and tell her yourself that as long as she has breath, she has to crawl to the banquet for me."

The old lady is a typical patriarchal thinker. She just wants to see the younger generation live in harmony and the family work together.

Aunt Li bravely relayed the old lady's words, and Jiang Xuening said calmly, "I understand."

It was obviously a very calm tone, but Grandma Li could hear a chill in it.

Soon it was getting dark, and Tingfang Courtyard became lively. The family banquet was held here tonight.

The ladies of the Jiang family came in twos and threes, all dressed up beautifully.

Several people sat together and talked about small talk. I don't know who started it first. The topic soon turned to Jiang Xuening.

"I heard that the eldest lady couldn't do anything to her, and she even made a big fuss in the Xuan family mourning hall."

"She is a princess, and she is engaged to Duke Xuan, so it is naturally different."

"They are all our sisters. We must get along well with her."

Jiang Yimo was the legitimate daughter of the second wife, and she had been raised by the old lady's side since she was a child. She said that she wanted to get along well with her, but the other girls fell silent for a moment, and the atmosphere was a little subtle.

Jiang Xuening came in at this time, with Caiyue walking in front, holding a glazed lamp in her hand.

She was dressed in moon-white clothes, strolling in with a bare face, and only a jade hairpin in her head.

The extreme sobriety only brought out her good looks.

Jiang Xuening calmly walked to the corner and sat down without saying hello to anyone.

Jiang Yimo took the initiative to walk over and said gracefully, "You must be the newly returned seventh sister, and I am your fifth sister."

"Well, hello." Jiang Xuening said lukewarmly.

Jiang Yimo said good-naturedly, "Seventh sister can come to me often to play in the future. If we haven't seen each other for too long, the sisters will become unfamiliar."

"Okay." Jiang Xuening still answered simply.

Jiang Yimo felt her coldness and returned to his position without saying anything more.

"Tsk, tsk, as expected, those who grew up outside are different and don't understand any rules!"

Jiang Xuening didn't even raise her eyebrows. She was not interested in the fight over the back house, let alone the fight between the little girls.

Being so yin and yang, there was no exchange of words, and he fell into silence in an instant. No one spoke for a moment.

Gradually, there were more and more people, but Jiang Xuening still sat motionless in his position.

When Jiangzhou came in, he had a headache when he saw her.

Qin Weiyun came with the second lady and pretended not to see her.

As soon as the old lady arrived, Jiang Yimo greeted her and talked to her affectionately.

Jiang Xuening leaned on her seat and looked at everyone in the Jiang family calmly. Many people in the Jiang family were also looking at her.

But she behaved so calmly that she would not flinch even if she caught her eye. The atmosphere was very subtle.

Mr. Jiang was the last to arrive and naturally took the main seat.

He touched his beard and said, "The third child's family is back, and the family is reunited. There have been a lot of things lately, so everyone should be careful about what they say and do outside."

Many people looked at Jiang Xuening meaningfully, and Jiang Xuening had a stupefied face, letting them see enough.

Mr. Jiang had spoken, and the food was almost ready. The family banquet started soon, with the men talking about big things and the women gossiping about the back house.

Several young girls also gathered together to chat about some private matters, but Jiang Xuening was the only one here who was deserted.

The distress in Qinghe's eyes was obvious, but Jiang Xuening didn't care.

From the noble daughter of the Gu family, to Princess Chen, to the princess of Qingzhou, this was just a small scene for her, and she was so sleepy that she wanted to sleep.

Halfway through the banquet, Grandma Li hurriedly walked to the old lady and whispered a few words.

The old lady looked at Jiang Xuening and said, "The Queen's people are here. Please prepare to welcome them."

Jiang Xuening put down the chopsticks in her hand and finally came. Later than she expected.

Under everyone's surprised eyes, Shangguan Wan, wearing maroon official uniform, walked in with the eunuch.

The old lady immediately said, "Feng Yi is here in person, but I am waiting from afar."

Shangguan Wan said softly, "Old madam, you don't have to be polite. It's the lower official who disturbed me."

She looked at Jiang Xuening again, "The Queen knew that the princess was back, so she specially rewarded her with a gift to show her care."

The eunuch behind her held exquisite gestures and some exquisite boudoir toys.

Jiang Xuening stood up, walked out and knelt down, "Thank you for the reward, your Majesty."

There was no mistake in the etiquette, and she looked very respectful to the queen, so the old lady felt relieved.

Caiyue stepped forward and handed over the purse according to the rules, and the eunuch and palace attendants quickly left.

Shangguan Wan did not move. She smiled slightly and said, "Speaking of which, the princess and I are old acquaintances. I have something to say to the princess alone."

The old lady immediately said, "Feng Yi, please feel free to come."

Shangguan Wan walked over and lifted the glazed lamp on the table, "Princess, let's go."

The two left side by side, leaving the Jiang family members with different expressions.
