Although it was inappropriate to speak to a young miss who had yet to leave the pavilion, Madame Jiang Zhang could tell that this niece of his was not an ordinary girl from her pavilion.

Of course, she never would have thought that Zheng Qingluo only started thinking so much because she was already dead. Right now, she clearly understood that nothing was as important as being alive. Only being alive could you take care of your family and enjoy life.

"I'm sorry, Aunt. In comparison, I would rather wear my clothes to the feast." She felt that she was being a bit unreasonable and had betrayed her aunt Zhang and uncle's sincerity.

She was truly grateful to her uncle. Without guessing, she knew how expensive this piece of clothing was and how hard it was to obtain. It could also be seen how diligently her uncle and aunt were treating her.

"Silly girl, why would my family need to say such outrageous words. These clothes are for you. When you want to wear them, you have the final say. Aunt is not a petty person."

"I know, I know. Aunty, you must be very generous." Zheng Qingluo held Madame Jiang's arm, sticking sweetly on it and lightly rubbed it, showing that they were close.

"Don't just act like a spoiled child. Go and have a look at your jewelry. We'll be leaving once you're done matching. Don't be too late." Only then did Zheng Qingluo notice that there was a jewelry box on the table. She was too busy looking at her clothes that she forgot about it.

He opened the box and inside was two sets of jewelry. One was inlaid with rubies, while the other was inlaid with jade. From a single look, he could tell that it was worth a lot.

"Aunt, it's better if you wear this set given by Old Madam Dai." Zheng Qing Luo signaled Mo Ju to bring the jewelry that was prepared in two days, then opened the box and held it in front of Madame Jiang's Zhang Shi.

Inside was a jade headpiece, a piece of jewelry, all carved from jade. It was not as dazzling as gold and silver, but it did not lack its elegance and nobility. It had to be said that this jewelry, along with Qingluo's clothes, could not match.

"You chose it intentionally?" Madame Jiang Zhang Shi could not help but admire his niece's eyesight, as her act was flawless.

"It was only after obtaining the head of the madame that I remembered to embroider some flowers on my clothes." She had originally thought that since she didn't have much clothes to wear to the banquet, she had no other choice but to make her move.

Although Old Madam Zheng had prepared clothes for Qingluo quite a few times after returning to the Zheng Mansion, when it came to going to the banquet, those clothes were not really of a good quality. Old Madam Zheng had not gone out for a long time as well, and although the clothes that she had prepared were beautiful, they were far from enough.

"You embroidered it yourself?" Just by looking at the head of the full jade, he was able to think of the appropriate color clothes to wear, and also be able to weave even more exquisite colors on the clothes. This thought and skill was indeed something that Madame Jiang did not expect.

It seemed that his niece would not waste too much time on him. She had her own plans. Those rumors were just rumors, but they were so true that even she believed them.

"Yes, because the clothes aren't good enough, I spent some time on embroidery. After all, I'm going to the banquet with Aunt, so I can't lose Aunt's face."

In her previous life, she had often followed her mother to visit the West Prefecture, wearing clothes that kept up with her identity. This required vision and was also something that Zheng Qingluo was proud of. She was very confident in her own aesthetic and embroidery skills.

"Have you brought enough clothes?" The last instruction from the Madame Jiang's Zhang Clan, she had only given it in vain. Towards this niece of hers, she had already completely relaxed. Her thoughts should be even more thoughtful than her own.

Sure enough, "I've prepared all three sets, one for each set. Aunt, you can rest assured." He said he couldn't underestimate this little girl. She was getting stronger and stronger.

"Then let's go, or it'll really be too late." He went to the East District to pay his respects to Madam Zheng. Madam Zheng also repeatedly reminded him that she was afraid that her granddaughter would suffer a loss and be wronged outside.

She made it seem as if Madame Jiang was trying to kidnap the little girl away. Finally, she persuaded Old Madam Zheng, and Madame Jiang brought Zheng Qing Hao out of Zheng Mansion.

This was the first time she was invited to a banquet after returning to the capital after her rebirth. Listening to the sound of the hooves, her heart was in turmoil, as she did not know which familiar faces she would meet before, but after the situation had changed, would they still remember her?

The carriage entered the Grand Princess Mansion through the corner of the gate. Zheng Qingluo perked her ears and listened carefully to the conversation outside. The sounds were noisy but not messy.

"The Great Herb Temple's Madame Jiang is here!"

Hearing the loud singing from outside, Zheng Qingluo felt the carriage stop. She stretched out her hand to pick up the curtain, jumped off the carriage, and walked a few steps towards Zheng Qingluo's carriage. She took the footstool from the shaft of the carriage and placed it on the ground before stretching out her hand.

"Madame Jiang, our princess is waiting for you at the back garden in the Flower Hall. Please get on the palanquin first, I'll send you there." The old granny beside the carriage carefully supported the Madame Jiang Zhang family on the other side.

"This is my niece, the third lady of Zheng Mansion." Although the Madame Jiang Zhang Clan reported Qingluo's surname, they did not specifically mention the Master Zheng's official position.

A Prefect who had a decent political record and had been reappointed to the Weir Prefecture for nine years and returned to the capital to report his work had not risen a single rank. He was still a fourth rank official and had become an assistant in the Han Lin Institution.

There were also so many officials of the Weir Prefecture who came out of his hands, but after returning to the capital, some of them were even higher ranked than him.

Madame Jiang Zhang was gloating, if not for the fact that Master Zheng had talented students, he would not even be able to protect himself from the fourth stage.

The woman nodded in agreement and even courteously nodded at Zheng Qingluo. Zheng Qingluo also politely blessed herself. Who knew who a fourth rank official before the Prime Minister would be able to use when he was by his master's side? She absolutely did not dare to offend him.

The old woman looked at Zheng Qingluo's gift and was a little surprised. Although it was just a simple gift, it was very particular. What position did the person have in front of you have to perform a different gift? Of course the small person wouldn't notice.

However, it was because of these details that the young mistress of a prestigious family could be distinguished. She had followed the Grand Princess all the way from the palace, and upon seeing her etiquette, one could tell that she had been specially trained.

She was very well-mannered. Her manners were so dignified that there was not the slightest mistake. She immediately became alert and signaled with her eyes.

The woman behind him quickly came up and helped Zheng Qingluo onto her arms. She carefully helped Zheng Qingluo onto the sedan along with the woman in front of her.

Sitting on the palanquin, he soon arrived at the two gates. After getting off the palanquin, he went straight to the Hanging Flower Gate and entered. It was only when he raised his head that he saw the Grand Princess's mansion for the first time.

There was a long veranda filled with flowers and flowers. The pillars were carved with a variety of patterns, and the patterns were in accordance with the requirements of the various sculptures. They had used up thousands of colors.

The long corridor was not short, and at the end of it was a wall of shadows, engraved with a picture of a pine crane growing in age. The carving was exquisite, the picture was beautiful, but it did not have the slightest bit of grandeur.

It could be relaxed, extravagant, enjoyable, but it could not be fought over. It was also a way to express one's feelings. Sometimes, not only people, even things that were still here could express some sort of emotion for others.
