Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

‘The Second Lady of the Chu Family from the Prime Minister’s mansion was the most excited.

Ever since the Second Lady of the Chu Family became friends with Gu Ruxue after the banquet, she had been taking Gu Ruxue as the role model. Gu Ruxue liked the Second Lady as well, and had been treating her well. Therefore, she only invited the Second Lady of the Chu Family instead of both her and her

sister for the Flower Banquet this time.

The point was that on the Spring Hunt day, the Elder Miss of the Chu Family not only humiliated her, but also hung out with Gu Chaoyan instead. For this reason, Gu Ruxue decided to help the Second Lady of the Chu Family.

Apart from the Second Lady of the Chu Family, there were ladies from the Min Mansion who were present. The ladies from the Min Family were all concubines’ daughters, which Gu Ruxue did not care for.7

She understood that the Min Mansion was the biggest noble family in the capital, and the lineal Elder Miss was barely in public, but since the Min Mansion already arranged people to come for her private banquet, she believed that it was already a huge honor for her.

As for the other ladies, they were all the misses from other ministers, but Gu Ruxue did not think of any of those as someone important.

Those ladies were here to suck up to her and Zhou Huailing, so they were very willing to come.

“The Flower Banquet will be held in the small garden of the mansion.” Gu Ruxue behaved very gently in front of these ladies. “The garden had not been part of the manor, but after I moved in, Lord had the garden built knowing that I like begonias yet could not get close to the flowers. There are many begonias

inside the garden, and a servant said that some have been blooming so you should all come and take a look at them.”

Gu Ruxue was showing off proudly, even though she was speaking in a very peaceful tone.

The ladies of the noble families might come from a glamorous family, but they were all women who were going to marry young masters from noble families. And their future husbands might not take care of them in this way.

Gu Ruxue felt that it was something she was very proud of.

Hearing the story, the Second Lady of the Chu Family as well as several other ladies were all smiling.

‘The Second Lady of the Chu Family in particular. She said with a jealous look on her face. “Princess Consort, Lord Ling treats you so nicely, I don’t think that there is any other man who is better than Lord Ling in the capital. He is noble, gentle and takes such good care of you.”

Hearing what the Second Lady of the Chu Family said, the others added and expressed their jealousy.

Hearing those words, Gu Ruxue felt that she could just be as arrogant as she wanted.

‘The Second Lady of the Chu Family was right. There was no other girl in the world as happy as her. Lord was already a noble man yet he was still so gentle towards her.

Ming, who was standing next to them, also added. “Princess Consort loves pastries, so Lord hired some cooks from the South who are good at making pastries just to make pastries for Princess Consort.”

“Cooks from the South?” The Second Lady of the Chu Family asked in surprise. “They are very skilled in making pastries, but they are not that easily hired by anyone. Oh, Princess Consort. you are so…”

The Second Lady of the Chu Family looked so jealous.

Gu Ruxue was feeling very happy within, but still wore a light smile on her face, trying to keep her own posture.

As they were talking, they arrived at the garden.

The Second Lady of the Chu Family asked as she sat down, “Princess Consort, I heard that there is a phoenix at Lord Ling’s Mansion too, is that real?”
