Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint-Chapter 1377 - 231: Ji Mingyue’s Gifts for the Family
At the entrance of the National Master Mansion.
Jiang Ning glanced at the maids behind Ji Mingyue and then stepped aside.
"Seventeenth Princess, please come in!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Mingyue immediately flashed a sweet smile.
She crossed the threshold and, when she came beside Jiang Ning,
she naturally hooked Jiang Ning’s arm.
As their eyes met, Ji Mingyue smiled again: "Why, can’t I?"
As she spoke, she hugged Jiang Ning’s arm again: "We are engaged now!"
Feeling the touch on his arm, Jiang Ning smiled relieved.
"Let’s go, I’ll take you to meet my brother and sister-in-law!"
"Okay!" Ji Mingyue nodded: "I haven’t visited your brother and sister-in-law yet! This time, I have to make a good impression on them!"
"I heard before that your father was very strict with you, how did he let you out these days?" Walking halfway, Jiang Ning opened his mouth to distract the ripples in his heart.
Ji Mingyue hugged his arm with both hands, the touch was very clear.
The long repression inevitably stirred some waves in his heart.
"Because I begged my father, and after begging for a long time, he softened up and let me out!" Ji Mingyue said easily.
"Was it that simple?" Jiang Ning asked.
He knew from various sources how much that emperor opposed it before.
Ji Mingyue’s previous actions even brought shame to the Imperial Family.
If Ji Mingyue could easily gain an opportunity by simply begging, why was the emperor so enraged before?
He glanced at Ji Mingyue again, seeing her face full of joy.
Seeing this, he no longer asked further.
Just at this moment.
Qinghe crouched lightly towards Jiang Ning: "Master, the Seventeenth Princess has arrived, I’ll inform the State Preceptor!"
"There’s no need for such trouble!" Ji Mingyue said.
Qinghe gave Ji Mingyue an apologetic smile, then turned and hurried away.
Seeing this, he looked down again.
Ji Mingyue was holding his arm with both hands, full of affection.
Thinking of the potential happenings later, he couldn’t help but feel a headache.
Moments later.
The two walked through the courtyard and corridor.
"Ah Ning!" Liuu Wanwan was the first to notice Jiang Ning, her voice slightly surprised.
Following that, her gaze landed on Ji Mingyue, who was holding Jiang Ning’s arm.
"Ah Ning, who is this young lady??!"
"Hello sister-in-law, I am Ji Mingyue! You can call me Yueer, or Yuanyuan!" Ji Mingyue proactively introduced, then released Jiang Ning’s arm, showing a kind smile.
"This is the Seventeenth Princess!" Jiang Ning also introduced.
"Seventeenth Princess?" Liuu Wanwan’s eyes widened, looking at Ji Mingyue in disbelief, then she smiled: "I heard before that the Seventeenth Princess of the Imperial Family is a lady of such beauty and talent, seeing you now proves that the rumors underestimated you!"
While speaking, Liuu Wanwan glanced at Ji Mingyue, her expression full of satisfaction.
At this moment.
Ji Mingyue released Jiang Ning’s arm and turned to unveil the red cloth on the red tray held by the maid behind her.
As the red cloth was lifted, a purple sandalwood box immediately appeared in the view of several people.
The next moment.
Ji Mingyue held the purple sandalwood box with both hands and approached Liuu Wanwan.
"Sister-in-law, it’s our first meeting, and I didn’t know what to give you, so I brought a set of my favorite and most beautiful jewelry for you."
After speaking, seeing Liuu Wanwan’s hesitant expression, Ji Mingyue added: "Sister-in-law, open it and see!"
Upon hearing this, Liuu Wanwan instinctively looked at Jiang Ning.
She was greeted with a slight nod from Jiang Ning.
The next moment.
Liuu Wanwan slowly opened the purple sandalwood box.
Instantly.
In the dim courtyard, the purple sandalwood box emitted a dazzling light.
"So beautiful!!" Liuu Wanwan looked inside the box, her eyes sparkling, as though capturing starlight.
"Sister-in-law, try one!" Ji Mingyue showed a faint smile.
"Is that okay?" She looked up at Ji Mingyue, slightly shorter than herself, her face still hesitant.
"Of course!" Ji Mingyue nodded.
Then she turned her gaze to the maid beside her.
The maid understood, taking the purple sandalwood box from Ji Mingyue’s hand.
Thereafter, Ji Mingyue took out a hairpin from the purple sandalwood box.
The drooping pearls and jade on the hairpin dazzled with blue light even in the shadowy night.
The light was not harsh, somewhat gentle, yet it was exceptionally captivating.
"Sister-in-law, let me put it on you!" Ji Mingyue spoke.
"That would trouble the Seventeenth Princess then!"
"You’re too kind, sister-in-law, just call me Mingyue or Yuanyuan!" Ji Mingyue smiled warmly.
As she spoke, she moved behind Liuu Wanwan and lifted her hair.
She first removed Liuu Wanwan’s original hairpin, then straightened the scattered hair later.
Once Liuu Wanwan’s hair was neatly arranged, Ji Mingyue inserted the hairpin into the strands to secure it.
"Sister-in-law, it’s done!" Ji Mingyue tilted her head, showing an appreciative look.
"Does it look good?" Liuu Wanwan asked a bit self-consciously.
"Of course it looks good!" Ji Mingyue nodded and continued: "This hairpin suits you perfectly, sister-in-law’s beauty elevates the grandeur of this hairpin!"
"I’m getting older, there’s no grandeur left!" Liuu Wanwan smiled and adjusted the hairpin inserted into her hair.
At this moment.
The maid beside Ji Mingyue took a smooth and bright mirror from the tray and handed it to Ji Mingyue.
"Sister-in-law, see for yourself! It suits you perfectly!" Ji Mingyue’s tone revealed a hint of affection.
Liuu Wanwan looked at herself in the mirror, then turned from side to side.
The swinging pearls and jade swayed back and forth in the mirror, extremely eye-catching.
