Just now, when Yu Dong came out to look for Granny Zhou, he saw Granny Yan and told her about the invitation. Granny Yan didn’t take it to heart at first, but then she thought of one thing and was anxious to report to Qu Moying.

“I don’t know. Lady didn’t tell me about this just now,” said Granny Zhou, shaking her head. She stayed in the room just for a while, and she only talked about the things in the past with Qu Moying. “But I saw an invitation card on the table.”

She noticed the invitation card because it looked unusual.

Even its cover was unique. It was actually embroidered, and the embroidery was very exquisite.

“Then I’ll go take a look.” Granny Yan nodded and felt that the situation might be what she had guessed.

When she walked to the door of the main room, Yu Chun happened to come out from inside. Seeing Granny Yan, Yu Chun immediately went back to report. The sound of the qin in the room stopped, and Qu Moying’s soft voice was heard, “Invite Granny Yan in!”

Granny Yan entered the room. She first looked at the table and indeed saw the invitation card. Then, she went forward and bowed to Qu Moying. “Greetings, Lady.”

Qu Moying noticed that Granny Yan looked at the invitation card after entering the room, so she asked gently, “Do you find anything wrong with the invitation card?”

She blinked, casually took the invitation card, and handed it to Granny Yan.

She didn’t pay attention to the invitation card when she was with the Old Lady just now. Later when she returned to Qianyue House, she still didn’t pay attention to it. Even at the moment, she still didn’t take it seriously. Although this invitation card was delicate, she used to receive many beautiful invitation cards in her previous life, and this one didn’t particularly stand out from them.

Granny Yan took it, opened it to take a look, and found that it was exactly the one she had guessed. She sighed, looked up at Qu Moying, and asked, “Lady, do you know that some noble ladies in the capital will hold small-scale gatherings from time to time?”

“I know a bit!” Qu Moying said calmly. Her long eyelashes fluttered twice, and she had already slowly collected her thoughts.

She couldn’t find an answer to those past events for the time being, but she would take time to do it.

No matter what the truth was, she believed that she could find it out in the end. As for Liu Jingyu, Qu Moying would take her as an enemy because she had repeatedly schemed against her.

Qu Moying was not a forgiving person. She would definitely retaliate.

Although she was Qu Mansion’s lady now, she had the spirit of the daughter of a general in her body and practiced the principle of an eye for an eye. If the other party made a move on her, she would definitely fight back. She would not compromise and expect the other party to be kind because they would never be.

She was Ji Hanyue, but at the same time, she was also Qu Moying. Both Ji Hanyue’s life and Qu Moying’s life were clearly imprinted in her mind.

She remembered everything that she should have remembered in her two lives.

The memories of the two lives were perfectly imprinted in her heart. She had separated Ji Hanyue and Qu Moying from inside to outside and lived two different lives. But in fact, she was both Ji Hanyue and Qu Moying. Right now, she was just combining the two of them into one person.

She had the memory of Ji Hanyue, which allowed her to know things that the original Qu Moying was not supposed to know.

Granny Yan was not surprised. Although she knew clearly that according to Qu Moying’s experience, it was impossible for her to know such a thing, Qu Moying had always surprised her, so she didn’t feel strange when she heard what Qu Moying said now.

If Qu Moying was the same as the other noble ladies, how could Lord Yun take a fancy to her?

Noble ladies occasionally gathered together to admire flowers and even drink wine. There were not many rules in such gatherings. They might even do something like writing poems, which was quite an elegant act. Was this invitation card intended for such a gathering?

When Qu Moying was still Ji Hanyue, she didn’t like these gatherings. She thought they were too pretentious. At such a small gathering, a lady would be highly praised as a talent if the poems she wrote were spread outside. Such parties were actually held to hype up the ladies so that they could marry into distinguished families.

For those invitations sent to Earl Ling’an’s Mansion and addressed to her, she always refused to attend. If the invitations were not directly addressed to her, she always gave them to Ji Youran. As for whether Ji Youran would go, Ji Hanyue was never concerned.

Granny Yan reminded her, “Lady, this one is different.”

“What’s the difference?” It was rare for Qu Moying to be curious. Right now, she was Qu Moying. Of course, she could not act as boldly as Ji Hanyue. She couldn’t casually refuse invitations. Moreover, she really wanted to see what would happen in this small gathering.

Ever since she entered the capital, she had not been able to blend in with the young ladies yet.

Since the Old Lady had given her the invitation card, she would treat it as an opportunity to get familiar with the ladies. Right now, she really needed it.

“This is one of the best small gatherings. Few people are eligible to get an invitation. It was sent from Grand Princess Changyu’s mansion.” Granny Yan turned the invitation to show Qu Moying. Qu Moying did see the seal of Grand Princess Changyu’s mansion at the bottom right corner of the signature.

“Didn’t you say that these gatherings are intended for noble ladies? Why did Grand Princess Changyu get involved?” Qu Moying asked. She really didn’t know about this.

She remembered that Grand Princess Changyu was very low-key in the past.

“It has not been long since such gatherings became popular. There was the seal of Grand Princess Changyu’s mansion on this invitation card, but it was not sent by Grand Princess Changyu. It was sent by Grand Princess Changyu’s daughter, Prefectural Princess Xiangrong. Prefectural Princess Xiangrong is not young, but she has not been engaged yet.” Granny Yan answered meaningfully.

Qu Moying understood what she meant. She gently pressed on the strings of the qin, took the handkerchief from Yu Dong’s hand, and wiped her hands. Then, she asked gently, “Is this gathering held to find out suitable candidates from noble young masters?”

She remembered that Grand Princess Changyu was not fond of boisterous events in the past.

As the Emperor’s Fifth Imperial Sister and the one who married Marquis Jingyang, Grand Princess Changyu had always been very low-key. In the past, even Ji Hanyue rarely saw her.

Now that she had taken the initiative to hold such a gathering and considering the fact that her daughter was not young, it was evident that she was anxious to choose a suitable marriage for her daughter.

By inviting some aristocratic young ladies over to such a relaxing gathering, she could obtain some information from their conversations. The ladies’ words could be more trustworthy than what she heard from the outside world.

After all, there were some young masters from aristocratic families whose moral characters didn’t fit in with their reputations. However, it was not that easy to find out the truth.

“I think so. I heard that the invitation cards for such gatherings used to be sent by others in Prefectural Princess Xiangrong’s circle of friends. Prefectural Princess Xiangrong didn’t attend all of them. But she sent the invitation cards by herself this time, and the gathering will be held in Grand Princess Changyu’s mansion, so she is likely to show up.”

Granny Yan said with certainty.

Qu Moying raised her eyebrows and looked at Granny Yan. “So, I should go and see Prefectural Princess Xiangrong?”

“Yes, Lady. You should go, and you should also try to get on good terms with Prefectural Princess Xiangrong.” Granny Yan nodded. “I was afraid that you would miss it, so I specially came over to tell you about it. I heard some news before, but I was afraid that you couldn’t get the invitation. Now that there is an invitation card for you, it is best.”

Qu Moying asked in confusion, “Why?”

Although there were not many Grand Princesses alive, Grand Princess Changyu was not the only one. Moreover, Prefectural Princess Xiangrong was not a princess but only a Prefectural Princess. Qu Moying couldn’t see why she should be going.

Granny Yan looked at Qu Moying and said, “Prefectural Princess Xiangrong likes Lord Yan very much!”

Qu Moying asked with a leisurely smile, “So what?”

Granny Yan hinted, “Lord Yan doesn’t want to marry Prefectural Princess Xiangrong, but Lord Yan listens to Lord Yun the most.”

Was this why the invitation was sent to Qu Mansion?

Qu Moying finally understood. “So, Prefectural Princess Xiangrong wants to see me?”

“Yes, it should be Prefectural Princess Xiangrong who wants to see you, so she sent an invitation card over. Ever since you came to the capital, you have never attended such a small gathering of young ladies. This kind of gathering is insignificant in the eyes of those madams, but it is extremely important to you. It can help raise your status.”

Qu Moying tilted her head and asked in a playful tone, “What do you mean?”

“Lady, if your status is high, you will enter Lord Yun Mansion with a high title.” Granny Yan did not hide anything, “Your status as Vice Minister’s Mansion’s daughter is a little low, but if you are known as a talent among these young ladies, your status could be raised. This is what Lord Yun wants.”

“Didn’t he just leave?” There was a ripple in Qu Moying’s watery eyes, which was light and soon disappeared.

Her eyes were beautiful, but people couldn’t see fluctuations in her feelings.

Granny Yan said with a bitter smile, “Yes, he just left, but before he left, he had someone bring me a message.”

Qu Moying was not surprised that Pei Yuanjun was able to bypass her and pass a message to Granny Yan. He could do anything he wanted.

Qu Moying said indifferently, “Actually, it doesn’t matter.”

“Lady, it does matter. It is not just about status, but it also helps you have a real foothold in the capital. You were raised in the village for many years. It can be said that every noble lady thinks that you are neither beautiful nor talented. Now it is time to break the rumor. Otherwise, even if you enter Lord Yun Mansion in the future, you will be at a disadvantage when you face those ladies in the palace.”

Granny Yan said with a serious face.

Qu Moying understood these words. Men had their own affairs, and women in the backyard also had their own affairs. They all had their particular means of dealing with things. Sometimes, even with the protection of men, women might not be able to live a peaceful life in the backyard. Moreover, she would also have to face the harem.

It was not that she didn’t understand this issue. She just didn’t pay much attention to it before, but now she fell silent. For the first time, she considered Lord Yun Mansion’s backyard and the relationship between Pei Yuanjun and the royal palace.

She was destined to have dealings with those imperial concubines and even Empress in the palace.

“Granny Yan, I understand.” Qu Moying nodded slowly and agreed to attend the gathering. Her heart throbbed inexplicably, making her feel rather uneasy. She reached out and subconsciously pressed her chest. Only after she pressed it did she feel better. Her hand slowly fell down, carrying a bit of uneasiness.

She gently bit her pink lips and subconsciously asked, “Will County Lady Jingyu attend it?”
