Dressed as a mother-in-law, she leads the whole family to turn over.

Yang Xiaoya blushed in embarrassment, "Thank you all for letting me do this!"

Princess Yongyang was very disappointed. "Anyway, there will be a flower-viewing banquet in two days. Longyue will lead the way. I will go, and you must go too. When the time comes, we must put a good stop to Ming Jinxiu's arrogance!"

Yang Xiaoya never liked to attend these flower-viewing banquets, and she even less liked to take the lead, but since Princess Yongyang had asked, she couldn't refuse.

After Princess Yongyang left, Yang Xiaoya went to see Jiang Ning, "Mother, please tell me what the Third Madam's intention is. Princess Yongyang is already so unhappy. If she continues like this, I'm afraid Sister Jinxiu may not be able to have an easy life even if she marries Prince An."

Jiang Ning frowned slightly and said thoughtfully, "Mother also knows about the flower viewing banquet. The invitation has arrived. I will talk to Madam Ming San about it then. But you have been so lazy in the past six months. It's okay that you don't go out of the house, but you find all kinds of excuses to refuse invitations from other girls. This won't work! You are not a child anymore, it's time to meet someone else!"

Yang Xiaoya's pretty face flushed, "Mother!"

Ever since the palace banquet on New Year's Eve, the ladies would take the initiative to talk to her every time she went out. She knew what they were planning and was so annoyed that she hid herself away.

"Alright, alright! It's only natural that a daughter will be sought after by hundreds of families! Your second sister-in-law has prepared new clothes and jewelry for you, go and try them on." Jiang Ning said, looking at his daughter lovingly.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the flower viewing banquet.

Yang Xiaoya and Xu Nuoyan, who had not gone out for half a year, followed Jiang Ning to the palace. Liu Ye went there before them to arrange food for Baiweilou.

Princess Longyue had sent people to guard outside the mansion gate early in the morning. When she saw the carriage from Marquis Guangen's mansion arrived, she immediately welcomed them to the back garden.

At this time, the back garden of the palace was full of laughter. The ladies sat in the water pavilion to enjoy the cool and chat, while the girls sat under the shade of the trees on the left side of the water pavilion.

There is a circle of tables and chairs under the shade of the trees, and there is a large area in the middle. The pavilion on the right side of the waterside pavilion is where men gather. Everyone can talk across the waterside pavilion without being impolite.

When Madam Ming San came over with Ming Jinxiu, she saw Jiang Ning chatting and laughing with the other ladies. She quickly pushed her daughter and whispered, "You go find Miss Yang. I'll go to the waterside pavilion."

"Quick! Look! It's Ming Jinxiu!" a man shouted excitedly.

Everyone noticed Ming Jinxiu, who was wearing a sky-blue summer dress without any makeup. The men were excited, and most of the women curled their lips in disdain, but no one dared to mock her, after all, Ming Jinxiu was the future Princess An.

But there are always a few troublemakers with prominent family backgrounds who are not afraid of trouble.

"Hey! Isn't this our capital's most talented lady, Miss Jinxiu? I wonder what masterpiece Miss Jinxiu has created today, so let's take a look!"

The speaker was Meng Jinge, the eldest daughter of a loyal and brave general of the first rank. Everyone thought that the first person to cause trouble would be Princess Yongyang or the young lady from an aristocratic family who was on good terms with Princess Yongyang, but no one expected it to be Meng Jinge.

Yang Xiaoya looked at Ming Jinxiu with worry, frowned slightly, and was about to speak.

Then she saw Ming Jinxiu smiling at her politely, with a polite and distant attitude. Yang Xiaoya's desire to stand out also faded a little. She returned a polite smile and sat upright without saying a word.

Ming Jinxiu looked at Meng Jinge with a puzzled look, and asked in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "My lady, Jinxiu came to the banquet today and didn't say anything or do anything. What do you mean by this?"

"Why are you pretending!" Meng Jinge sneered disdainfully, with an arrogant and rude attitude. "Everyone in the capital knows that Miss Ming has been trying to show off at every banquet since she came to the capital, and to compete with others. What's going on? Could it be that Miss Ming has changed her personality today?"

"You!" No matter how calm Ming Jinxiu was, she was just a teenage girl, and she was proud and arrogant. She couldn't keep her cool after being provoked.

Yang Xiaoya still remembered Jiang Ning's instructions, and hurriedly spoke up to smooth things over, "Alright, alright! We are all here to enjoy the flowers! Why should we be unhappy over such a small matter? For the sake of Princess Longyue, everyone should be happy." Ming Jinxiu gritted her teeth and turned her face away, feeling ashamed and angry, "I, Ming Jinxiu, have acted honestly, how can I be slandered like this! She must apologize to me!"

A'niang said that although the Ming family is in decline, there are still many members of the Ming family serving as officials in the court. She represents the Ming family and must not allow anyone to trample on her!

All the ladies changed their expressions.

A lady in yellow clothes beside Yang Xiaoya covered her mouth in astonishment and muttered softly, "She wants Meng Jinge to apologize. She is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers!"

Yang Xiaoya asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"

The woman in yellow whispered, "My name is Yu Shuwan. My father is the Minister of War. Meng Jinge and I grew up together. She is an outlier in the capital. Not only is she good at martial arts, but she also has a very bad temper. To put it nicely, she can't tolerate any sand in her eyes. To put it bluntly, she is domineering and fearless. She doesn't even give face to Princess Yongyang.

I have never seen anyone dare to ask Meng Jinge to apologize in my life, so I hope this matter doesn't get out of hand today!"

As soon as Yu Shuwan finished speaking, she lifted Meng Jinge off the chair, strode towards Ming Jinxiu, and threatened fiercely: "Say what you just said again!"

Ming Jinxiu didn't expect Meng Jinge to be so violent in broad daylight. She stepped back in fear, "What are you doing?"

"What should I do? Don't you want me to apologize? I still don't know how to apologize even after growing up! How about you teach me?" Meng Jinge grinned twice and pulled out a whip from behind.

Everyone's expressions changed drastically.

Princess Yongyang shouted, "Meng Jinge! She is the Princess of Zhun'an. Do you want to die?"

Meng Jinge curled her lips and glanced at Princess Yongyang, "This girl is not worthy of being Prince An's Consort! If we don't let her know how high the heaven is and how deep the earth is, she will really ride on Prince An's head in the future!"

As he spoke, the long whip flew out of the air with a loud "snap" sound, and the lady in the waterside pavilion and the man in the gazebo were all frightened.

Meng Jinge's elder brother, Meng Jinrong, cursed inwardly, then stood up and walked to Xiao Chongyun, worried, "What is Jinge doing again? Doesn't she know that her long whip can kill people?"

Xiao Chongyun's face was solemn. "There are young ladies over there. If anyone is really hurt, I'm afraid even if General Zhongyong pays his grandson as an apology, it may not be enough."

"Damn it!" Meng Jinrong cursed, whipped the whip on his waist and rushed over, "Meng Jinge, stop messing around!"

Meng Jinge was already angry. Upon hearing this, he looked up at Meng Jinrong and quickly whipped him.

The ladies screamed.

It's over! Ming Jinxiu lost half her life.

Mrs. Ming San was so frightened that she almost couldn't breathe.

At the critical moment, Meng Jinrong's long whip intercepted Meng Jinge's whip. Meng Jinge was agile and suddenly approached Meng Jinrong quickly with the whip wrapped around him.

Although they are siblings, men and women should not be too close to each other. Meng Jinrong was afraid of hurting Meng Jinge, so he loosened his grip and his whip was taken away by Meng Jinge. (End of this chapter)
