The eldest lady is reborn, get out of the way!

Jiang Wanbai's maternal grandparents live in the capital, but her only uncle, Qiao Chengzong, has not been in the capital since he took office.

Fortunately, Qiao Chengzong was capable and had achieved good results in each of his terms.

When one reaches middle age, he is finally promoted to the capital, which is indeed a happy event.

Jiang Wanbai was happy. Ever since she was a child, she always received gifts from her uncle. In addition to birthdays, she also received gifts during every festival.

No one could refuse such favoritism, and Jiang Wanbai had a very good impression of his uncle's family.

In order to repay her uncle's love, she specially came to invite Jiang Zhiyue, wanting her to go together to welcome her aunt and cousin when they returned to Beijing.

Seeing Jiang Wanbai looking at him nervously, Jiang Zhiyue smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll go with Fourth Sister."

"It's still early, I just came to tell you in advance." Seeing that she agreed, Jiang Wanbai smiled even more.

Seeing that she was unusually happy, Jiang Zhiyue suddenly remembered that Jiang Wanbai was about to reach the age of marriage.

When Uncle Qiao returns to Beijing, he will have the opportunity to attend the coming-of-age ceremony in person.

Jiang Wanbai has a crush on her uncle, so if her uncle could come, she would naturally be unable to hide her joy.

Jiang Zhiyue nodded, "Okay, it's rare that Fourth Sister asks me for something, so of course I have to agree."

Jiang Wanbai glared at her, then glanced at Pinghu Garden and whispered, "You should stay away from that place. That woman has no good intentions at all. Stay away from her."

Jiang Wanbai paused for a moment, then continued, "You see, you haven't been in contact with her recently, and you seem to be a little more likable."

Jiang Zhiyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Fourth sister really had the confidence to say that.

When it comes to bad temper, Fourth Miss Jiang and Sixth Miss Jiang are exactly the same, so it's not right for either of them to blame the other.

Hearing Jiang Wanbai say this, she felt as if she was in another world.

Seeing that Jiang Zhiyue didn't say anything, Jiang Wanbai thought that what he said was too harsh. After struggling for a while, he tried to coax her: "The past is all in the past. You, you are fine the way you are now."

At the end, he added: "Hey, what I said just now was not good, you, don't take it to heart."

After Jiang Wanbai finished speaking, he found that Jiang Zhiyue was looking at him with a smile.

It turned out that the other person was just in a trance and I had misunderstood.

Her face turned red and she glared at Jiang Zhiyue.

Jiang Zhiyue looked at Jiang Wanbai with a sweet smile: "I know how good Fourth Sister is, and I will take her kindness to heart."

Jiang Wanbai shook his head repeatedly and squinted at her: "You are a cunning little fox!"

Jiang Zhiyue laughed again: "Fox? Smart and pretty, just think of it as Fourth Sister praising me."

Jiang Wanbai couldn't stand it anymore. How could someone be so narcissistic?

Just as they were about to leave, they saw Nanny Cheng beside the old lady coming over quickly, kneeling before Jiang Zhiyue and Jiang Wanbai, and saying, "It's good that the Sixth Miss and the Fourth Miss are here. Please go to the middle gate quickly to receive the imperial edict."

Jiang Zhiyue was stunned. Imperial edict?

Jiang Wanbai was also confused.

Nanny Cheng smiled and comforted them, "Don't worry, young ladies. The angels who came here brought rewards."

After Nanny Cheng said this, Jiang Zhiyue guessed the reason for the reward from the imperial edict.

Mostly it was because of King Xuan.

When Jiang Zhiyue and Jiang Wanbai arrived at the middle gate, all the masters of the mansion were there.

The old lady waved to Jiang Zhiyue and asked her to come to the front.

When the angels in the palace saw that everyone was present, they straightened their clothes, walked forward in an official manner, and prepared to announce the decree.

Most of the contents of the decree praised Jiang Zhiyue for her good character, intelligence, wisdom and loyalty, and praised her for having the style of her father. The decree also praised the old lady for her ability to raise children. The rest were various rewards.

Jiang Zhiyue received the imperial edict, and Nanny Cheng took the initiative to give the eunuch who announced the imperial edict a hundred taels of silver notes and invited him to stay for tea.

The eunuch who announced the imperial decree accepted the banknote with a smile on his face, but declined politely: "I still have to go back to the palace to report."

The old lady glanced at Jiang Zhiyue, who understood and thanked the eunuch who announced the decree: "Thank you for your help, eunuch. I will see you off."

The eunuch who announced the decree had been reminded that the Sixth Miss of the Duke of England's mansion was of noble status, and that it would be ok to ask her to say thank you, but he would never dare to let her send him off.

The eunuch who announced the decree smiled and nodded to Jiang Zhiyue: "Sixth Miss is a blessed person. It is enough for our family to share in your happiness. Please stay."

The eunuch who announced the imperial decree left after he finished speaking, and everyone watched him leave.

The decree did not clearly state why Jiang Zhiyue was rewarded, so Jiang Wanbai and her sisters did not quite understand.

Jiang Wanbai stared at Jiang Zhiyue blankly, and couldn't help feeling envy and jealousy in her heart. Why was she so lucky?

Your Majesty, actually issued an edict to praise her? !

The old lady asked everyone to return to Chunhui Hall and explained the reason for the emperor's reward this time. It was because Jiang Zhiyue had made great contributions in protecting Princess Xuan and her unborn grandson.

The old lady also took this opportunity to teach Jiang Zhiyue a lesson.

It was from Master Jiang that she learned that there was not only a fire in Shuhe Tower, but there were also assassins. It was so dangerous, yet she dared to lead people away alone!

After the old lady's lecture, even those who were unaware of the situation knew how dangerous the thing Jiang Zhiyue had done was.

Jiang Wanbai lowered her head. She had some petty thoughts in her mind.

The old lady was angry, and Jiang Zhiyue admitted his mistake obediently.

The old lady couldn't be too harsh on him, after all, the emperor had issued an edict to praise her.

If she scolded the child harshly, she was afraid that if it got out accidentally, it would appear that the Duke of England's family was disrespectful to His Majesty.

Jiang Zhiyue admitted her mistake quickly, so the old lady gave her a warning and told everyone, "The news that Princess Xuan is pregnant has not been spread. We, the family, know about it, so we must keep it a secret."

"If anyone gets into trouble by not keeping his mouth shut, I will not let him off easily. Do you understand?"

The old lady was very majestic, and everyone bowed in response.

"Everyone go away, the girls stay and follow me in."

The old lady called a few granddaughters and went to the inner room.

Jiang Wanbai and Jiang Hengdan walked in front, while Jiang Fuyao and Jiang Zhiyue followed behind, and they walked in together.

The old lady sat on the brocade couch, looking at her four cute granddaughters, and sighed in her heart.

"Today's imperial decree has been issued. You must be more careful about your words and actions when you go out in the future."

The old lady's eyes were gentle and firm: "The emperor praised Achan's character. You and Achan are sisters, so you will also be looked up to by others."

"Yes." The four granddaughters responded in unison.

Seeing that the children were all serious, the old lady smiled slightly and said, "Don't be so nervous. The praise from His Majesty is one thing, but don't let it trap you."

"Girls are already very restricted in their lives at home, so don't lose your original intention because of this."

Jiang Wanbai and Jiang Hengdan looked up, somewhat confused.

Jiang Zhiyue seemed to be thinking about something, then smiled and said playfully, "So, I can walk sideways in the future? The saints praised me for being smart and intelligent, and having the demeanor of a general's daughter, so how can I let others wrong me?"

Jiang Wanbai paused and hesitated: "Yes, is that so?"

Jiang Hengdan and Jiang Fuyao seemed to be thinking: Yes, that's what Ah Chan said.

The emperor's praise is a double-edged sword. Whether you want to use it to restrain yourself or to protect yourself is just a matter of thought.
