A Woman Born Again Must Be Ruthless

Chapter 3

She nodded and turned to walk back with Xiaoyue.

Ji Xin Ran looked at the moon-white figure with a calm gaze. The hand hidden in his sleeve pinched the back of his hand, leaving behind a red fingernail imprint.

When he returned to the Five Harmonies Courtyard, Xiaoyue said angrily," Young miss, that's the jade pendant that Madam Shen left for you. I don' t know how many times you usually wipe it. How could it have been carved a few days ago."

Ji Mengxi made a silent gesture and shook her head." Mother's jade pendant is important, but Mother wants me to live well."

Xiaoyue nodded and asked," Why didn' t the young miss let the young miss kneel at the tea party? "She has a belly full of bad water."

"You little girl," she poked her forehead in amusement." It's impossible to fight for a moment of joy."

"There are so many madams present today. If she really knelt down for me, I wonder what the outside will tell me."

Xiaoyue pouted." It wasn' t Miss who forced her, but she said it herself. How could she blame Miss?"

"If she really knelt down for me, I' ll definitely become a person who can' t be spared. Not only will her reputation be damaged, the good marriage will not fall on me." She was already fifteen years old. She had reached the age of marriage. She could not destroy her entire life for the sake of fighting for a moment.

Xiaoyue gritted his teeth." Forget it...... "I' ll go to the kitchen and give Miss Iced Jade Cake."

Looking at Xiaoyue figure, her jade-like fingers gently tapped on the mahogany table. Her eyes narrowed slightly as she recalled some scenes.

At lunchtime, she went to the latrine because of her stomach. She purposely went back to the courtyard to hide in the secret area of the house. Not long after, a servant girl walked in quietly. After closing the door, she took out a green jade pendant from her chest and placed it under her pillow. Then, she looked around before leaving.

After waiting for them to leave, she came out. She quickly picked up the jade pendant from under the pillow and placed her own jade pendant under the pillow. Then, she walked back to the toilet and threw the Feng'sWife jade pendant into the green lake.

When she thought of Feng'sWife and Ji Xin Ran's faces, she felt a great pain in her head. One day, she would completely eradicate them.

###Chapter4,Banquet (1)

In the evening, Housekeeper Mao came to invite her and said respectfully," Second young miss, master wants you to go to the study."

Ji Mengxi looked up at the Housekeeper Mao and said with a warm smile," I' ll take care of it. I' ll trouble Housekeeper Mao to make a trip."

"No problem." Housekeeper Mao smiled kindly and waited for a moment before leading her to the study.

Feng'sWife and Ji Xin Ran sat at the bottom of their heads. When they saw her coming in, their expressions became somewhat unpleasant, as if they knew she was coming.

"Father." Ji Mengxi turned around and called out indifferently.

"Sit down." Ji Chi voice was as loud as a bell, and his aura was calm.

She lowered her eyes and sat on the side of the Ji Xin Ran. She respectfully asked," I wonder why Father called me here?"

The Ji Chi above touched his beard and looked at his daughter. He thought for a moment," In two days, the Empress will hold a Flower Banquet. I' m thinking about who you and Xinran are better."

Ji Xin Ran became anxious when he heard this." Father, didn' t you tell me to go?"

She glanced at the Ji Xin Ran by her side and smiled." Although my daughter yearns for the Empress' Flower Banquet, my daughter will accept whatever my father says. If my father doesn' t let my daughter go, I won' t at all."

Calmly, Ji Xin Ran looked at him and said," Father, the Empress' Flower Feast invites the eldest daughter of the first wife. If Ji Meng Xi go, wouldn' t it make people laugh at our Prime Minister Estate?"

Ji Chi suddenly frowned." If it wasn' t for Xi' er, you would have become a joke in the entire capital!"

Feng'sWife was stunned, and then he turned his eyes and raised a smile." Xinran is also protecting me today. Master, in view of her filial piety, don' t bother about the tea party."

"Yes, Father. "That's why Big Sister was so anxious today. Xi' er has never blamed Big Sister. Big Sister's filial piety makes me feel guilty." Her eyes were clear, and in Ji Chi eyes, she was pure and kind.

Ji Chi spoke slowly after a moment of silence," Madam, bring your two daughters together."

Feng'sWife was shocked," Master ……"

He interrupted Feng'sWife." That's the decision. I' m sure the Empress won' t blame you for having one more person."

Feng'sWife lowered his eyes and replied," Master is right."

In the middle of the night, Ji Mengxi was lying on the bed, unable to sleep at all.

She suddenly remembered that after being framed by Feng'sWife in her previous life, her father was extremely disgusted with her, not even willing to see her face. This life had turned upside down.

Needless to say, it was an honor to be invited by the Empress for a grand banquet like the Hundred Flowers Banquet. As for bringing their children together, it was said to be a flower reward, but in reality, it was only for the sake of choosing the right person for their children.

It was only natural that Feng'sWife would not take her for granted in such an occasion. Moreover, she had even humiliated Ji Xin Ran this afternoon. How could Feng'sWife not be angry?

As Ji Mengxi thought about it, he gradually became confused. Only when he was ugly did he fall asleep.

A few days passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for the Flower Feast.

Early this morning, Feng'sWife had Yuqing bring a custom-made dress. After thanking her, she picked it up and took a look. The color was very light. She understood Feng'sWife intentions.

After changing his clothes and going to the main courtyard, Ji Mengxi saw the Ji Xin Ran standing by the side of the Feng'sWife. She was dressed in a moon-blue rolling snow gauze thousand-water dress and had golden steps with precious stones on her head. In comparison, she seemed to be somewhat inferior.

Feng'sWife inadvertently revealed a complacent expression from the corner of his eyes as he greeted her and headed towards the imperial palace.

Today, the Empress was wearing a bright yellow embroidered phoenix palace dress, and her head was wearing a golden phoenix feather, swaying in the air.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, the Empress let everyone take their seats." It's a fine day today. Seeing that these flowers are all blooming well, I wanted you to come and reward them."

"Your Highness, you' re welcome. It's my honor to be here to admire the flowers." Feng'sWife smiled.

Sitting next to Feng'sWife, Ji Mengxi eyes unconsciously fell on the man opposite him.

He wore a moon-white long robe with straight threads, and his waist was tied with a broad belt of the same color as the brocade cloud pattern. A few strands of black threads hung down from both sides, and it seemed as if it was shaking without a trace.

She clearly had a refined aura, yet she was able to discern a ruthless and decisive appearance.

ShenZiAn, she had seen this man in her previous life. Even though she only had one side, it left a deep impression on her.

Sensing his elegant gaze, Ji Mengxi shifted his gaze away.

When he saw the crown prince wearing an apricot yellow robe next to him, he already understood.

Ji Mengxi silently glanced around, secretly mocking Qi Si in his heart. Such a day really shouldn' t have come.

She hated Qi Si, but she still had to endure it.

The ShenZiAn on the other side caught the hatred in her eyes and was slightly surprised in her heart. Who in the world would this kind of boudoir have such great hatred towards?

"Today, I can' t admire the flowers. I' ve arranged a few songs and dances to help everyone." The Empress sat at the top and smiled faintly.

Ji Xin Ran suddenly stood up at this moment, and his voice was very clear and clear." Reporting to the Empress, this minister's younger sister knows a little about singing and dancing. Why don' t you let her jump on a segment herself? It would be an honor if she could win the Empress' smile."

As soon as those words were spoken, some of the madams focused their gazes on her, while others looked at Ji Mengxi leisurely.

Seeing how sincere she was, the Empress nodded and agreed," Alright, I' ll do as you say. If you jump well, you' ll be rewarded."

Ji Xin Ran wrote in a loud voice, and a trace of pride flashed through his lowered eyes. Others didn' t know, but she didn' t? Ji Mengxi didn' t know how to sing and dance at all. If Ji Mengxi dared to come today, she would regret it.

Feeling everyone's burning gazes, Ji Mengxi felt as if she was sitting on a pin. She was caught off guard by this situation.

"What's wrong, little sister? Today is the Empress' Flower Banquet. We can' t ruin everyone's interest." Ji Xin Ran watched her smile.

She raised her eyes to glance at the crowd, and then she thought about it a few times. In the end, she turned to the Empress and entrusted her son," This minister has made a fool of herself."

ShenZiAn looked at the woman dressed in white and gray. Rong Zhuansuya was more elegant than the delicate flowers.

She Ji Mengxi up her dress and slowly walked towards the empty space in the middle step by step. She closed her eyes and tried her best to recall the dance music that she had practiced hard in her previous life to win Qi Si's favor. The swaying movements were clear in her mind bit by bit.

She closed her eyes and waved her scholarly sleeves along her memory. Her arms danced, and the pollen hidden in her clothes attracted quite a few butterflies that danced in the distance. They surrounded her body like a fairy that had emerged from the dust.

Ji Xin Ran gnashed her teeth with hatred from the side. It was clearly for the purpose of gathering bees, yet she never expected that she would attract butterflies, and what made her even more surprised was Ji Mengxi dance music. Even compared to her, it wasn' t inferior at all. Just when did this slut secretly learn a dance?

At the end of the dance, the madams were very intoxicated. However, the Empress reacted first. She raised her hand and clapped," Not bad, not bad!"

With the Empress taking the lead, the ladies at the bottom also gave their compliments.

"The dance of these two ladies is really good."

"Really? "Even the butterfly has come to help me dance. I really have not finished watching."

"……"

The thin and broken praise Feng'sWife his ears. His face couldn' t help but turn pale. His hands under the table were tightly intertwined, but he couldn' t help but smile.

###Chapter5,Banquet (2)

The Empress looked at the Ji Mengxi, her eyes filled with admiration." Ting Qing, when the banquet is over, I' ll give The Second girl of Ji a set of hairpins."

"Yes." Hearing Qing's soft reply from the side.

"I thank the Empress for her reward." She had a well-defined body, and her voice was pure.

When the ShenZiAn at the side saw her appearance, he couldn' t help but curl his lips and grab a grape and put it into his mouth.
