Perhaps, this was also one of the ways Princess Ning Yuan expressed her attitude. Zheng Qingluo suddenly felt enlightened. Perhaps this was the reason why Princess Ning Yuan had so much face in front of the palace and found her position.

Zheng Qingluo's eyes lit up as she passed through the long corridor and the wall of shadows. This was just a small garden in front of the main yard; it was filled with life and vitality.

However, compared to her niece, she immediately realized the disparity. She could not help but lament that her niece was too similar to her aunt. Her aunt's etiquette could not be compared to her. Talent was indeed something that could only be met by chance.

While Grand Princess Ning Yuan was speaking, Zheng Qingluo quickly kowtowed to express her gratitude, and got up half a breath earlier than the Madame Jiang's Zhang clan. She extended her hand to help the Madame Jiang's Zhang clan up.

This series of actions only lasted for a split-second, but it caused Princess Ning Yuan to be distracted. She had only seen this kind of posture and bearing from one person before, and they seemed familiar to her.

"This is?" Seeing that Grand Princess Ning Yuan had taken note of her niece, the Madame Jiang Zhang showed her Qingluo's hand proudly to the Grand Princess.

"This is our master's niece, the third lady of Zheng Mansion. She is very smart." An expression of tender affection caused Grand Princess Ning Yuan's attention to focus even more on Zheng Qingluo.

Third Miss Zheng was not very tall, but under the contrast of her clothes, she concealed this flaw very well. She wore a blue and white collar that covered her waist, revealing her waist that was not worth even a handshake, and also extending her waist to the greatest extent.

The top half of the skirt was almost unwrinkled, while the bottom half was layered. Such a dress would make anyone who saw her be attracted by the lines of her clothes at first glance, without paying attention to her height.

Looking at the embroidery on the set of clothes, their colors, and their accessories, it had to be said that they were more than just a set of clothes, they were also a work of art.

There were gold threads without a doubt, red and green all over her body, and her clear and light makeup immediately caught the attention of the group of noble young mistresses, revealing her extraordinary and elegant temperament.

"Greetings, Grand Princess!" Zheng Qingluo was deeply blessed. Although this gift was very formal, it didn't have the slightest hint of propriety. The feeling of familiarity once again emerged from the Grand Princess' heart.

"Not bad, you're doing well." She had no choice but to praise him. Just by looking at his clothes, one could tell that he had good taste. It was just that she didn't know if he was chosen by her or someone else.

"The Grand Princess is too kind." Zheng Qingluo was lucky this time, and retreated behind Madame Jiang's Zhang family, very courteous. The Grand Princess then set her gaze on Zheng Qingluo's face.

Her skin was very white, but it was too white. It didn't have the ruddiness characteristic of a young girl (If Zheng Qingluo knew what the Grand Princess was thinking, she would definitely cry out, Princess, how much effort did I put in to cultivate myself to be so white in the past few months. If you saw my appearance a few months ago, that small, sallow face of yours, you would definitely think that I was the beggar from outside the city).

His appearance was impeccable. He had big eyes, black pupils and long eyelashes. Under the gaze of others, they trembled non-stop, causing others to unconsciously feel pity for him. His perky nose and his small red lips.

No wonder this Madame Jiang doted on Third Miss Zheng. She was indeed a very painful person, even if she was called gorgeous, it wasn't flirtatious, nor was it that charming look.

It was the kind that, under the quiet moonlight and the silver, frosty light, hidden in the corner was a blooming peony. It was quiet and noble, but it was not for others to see.

Those who didn't know better would think that they were making things difficult for the two of them. Grand Princess Ning Yuan waved her hand and had the maidservants bring them to their seats.

"Thank you, Grand Princess!" Madame Jiang Zhang led Zheng Qingluo to her seat and followed the maidservants to her seat. When they turned around, she spoke as if she was talking to herself, "Did you embroider this dress yourself?"

Although she didn't say who she was talking to, Zheng Qingluo knew that she was asking herself, "In reply to the Grand Princess's words, if you randomly choose to embroider one, it wouldn't enter your eyes."

Before Madame Jiang's Zhang family could react, Zheng Qingluo had already stopped her steps and turned around. She gracefully greeted him and then returned to Grand Princess Ning Yuan's words.

"I really like this flower. Does this flower have a name?" Princess Ning Yuan was very satisfied with Third Miss Zheng's reaction. It looked like this Third Miss Zheng was truly intelligent.

"It's just a wild flower without a name. If Grand Princess Ning Yuan likes it, I'll go back and draw a picture of it and have someone send it to you." He did not directly say that he would embroider clothes for him, but rather, he would say that he would draw flowers for himself.

If this was any other young miss, she might have taken the opportunity to hug him and even understood the seriousness of the situation. Grand Princess Ning Yuan was even more satisfied now as she nodded with a smile, thinking that she would definitely have to be investigated later. Perhaps this Third Miss Zheng would be the one she was looking for.

"maidservant is leaving!" Seeing that Grand Princess Ning Yuan didn't have any more questions, Zheng Qingluo bowed again before walking slowly back to her Aunt Zhang's seat. She straightened her back and sat down softly.

She did not even need to raise her head, she could already feel the gazes from the surroundings. She could not resist the jealousy and jealousy in her heart, just today, when she appeared in the Grand Princess Mansion, her reputation in the capital city's young misses circle would be established.

This was how luck worked. There were some opportunities that you couldn't grasp even if you wanted to, and they simply didn't appear in front of your eyes. And sometimes, when you clearly didn't have any expectations, opportunities just dropped from the sky.

Although he had prepared this well, he had never thought that Princess Ning Yuan would give him such a good chance the moment he entered the palace.

He raised his eyes and peeked at the Grand Princess sitting in her seat, then quickly lowered his eyelids and looked at the design on the bottom of his skirt. In his previous life, although he was born and grew up in a wealthy family, his fate was not to look after him.

But heaven was still fair in the end. Even though it made him suffer so much, it gave him the chance to start over again. Perhaps, Luck would be by his side in this life.

"The ladies are sitting here listening to our lord's conversation. They must be tired of it. Let the maidservants lead the way for fun. The flowers in my backyard are blooming just right."

Looking at the ladies seated behind the madams, all of them held their little faces in their hands, sitting up straight and stiff. Only Third Miss Zheng felt an indescribable sense of comfort as she sat down gracefully and casually.

No matter how you looked at it, his eyes seemed to be pleasing to the eye. Princess Ning Yuan was moved. She raised her head and spoke to the ladies, who naturally agreed with her. No one objected.

This was Grand Princess Ning Yuan's courtyard. Everything was decided by the Grand Princess, so how could there be a place for one to keep one's own mouth shut? All the madams answered in unison, "We will listen to the Grand Princess."

There was a maidservant coming in from outside the door to lead the young misses out. The maidservants that the young misses had brought with them were all standing outside the parlour, waiting.

Although she knew nothing could happen in her own garden, she still couldn't help but remind him, "Don't go too far, just walk around in the back garden. Our lord will talk for a while and then go over."

"Yes, Grand Princess." The ladies stood up in unison to give their blessings to Grand Princess Ning before they filed out. Although Third Miss Zheng didn't sit too far behind, she wasn't in a hurry to leave.

It seemed like she wasn't in a hurry to get to know the ladies. However, someone grabbed her arm just as she was about to leave.

Princess Ning Yuan frowned slightly, but immediately let go. She didn't say anything and just lowered her head to take a sip of tea. When she subconsciously raised her head, the ladies at the door had already left.
