The flower ball felt somewhat hot in her hand.
The problem was, after she had caught the flower ball, neither the Empress nor the Imperial Concubine paid much attention to her or said anything. They both left while holding the hands of their palace maids.
In the end, it was a Eunuch who came up to her and said, “Congratulations, miss, for your great joy. You may return home and await His Majesty’s decree for the marriage. The happy days are near.”
Jiang Ning didn’t even know how she left the palace.
Being pushed out of Immortal-view Gate, she finally remembered to pull out a silver coin to give to Huang Ying, thanking her for taking care of her these past two days.
Huang Ying wasn’t pretentious, and she received it with a beaming smile: “Miss, congratulations. After you become a Princess Consort, this servant may still have a chance to serve you.”
Jiang Ning smiled and said, “Thank you for taking care of me.”
At this moment, several of the selected showgirls who didn’t pass walked by and glanced at her, their expressions somewhat complex.
There was envy, jealousy, and even more unwillingness.
They were all carefully chosen noble ladies from high-class families with outstanding looks, backgrounds, and talents. No matter who was chosen, it would be fine. But it turned out that Jiang Ning, a little lame girl from the Jiang Family, was chosen.
Didn’t this mean that they were even worse off than a lame girl?
It was too frustrating.
They didn’t want to have anything to do with Jiang Ning either, so they each boarded their carriages and went home.
Jiang Ning looked left and right, searching for the Jiang Family carriage.
Then she saw Jiang Yuan and Jiang Yan both standing by their own carriages.
Jiang Yan saw her, hurried over to help her push the wheelchair, and curiously asked, “Seventh sister, did you see the faces of the Empress and the Imperial Concubine? Who was finally chosen? Could it be Seventh Sister?”
She had been eliminated in the first examination and didn’t mind it at all.
With her status, this was just a way to make up the numbers.
Jiang Ning was still holding the rose jade flower ball in both hands and was about to speak when she heard Jiang Yuan snort: “You’re still dreaming. No matter who was chosen, it wouldn’t be her turn.”
At this moment, a beautiful young woman who didn’t make the cut walked over, followed by several noble ladies who seemed to be of high-status.
Jiang Yuan recognized her as a princess from a marquis’ mansion, and her status was indeed quite noble.
But they were all girls from high-class families, and there was nothing to be afraid of even if they were facing a Princess.
The princess glared at Jiang Ning with a vicious look on her face: “You dead cripple! How dare you steal my things!”
“Ling’an, what are you talking about?” Jiang Yuan frowned and asked.
“I’m saying that the girls in your Jiang Family have no shame. Both of you concubine-born daughters have the nerve to participate in the selection. Especially this lame one, even more shameless. Relying on her pretty face, she’s bewitching men!”
Jiang Yuan’s face turned cold: “Who are you calling shameless?”
“I’m talking about you, your Jiang Family!”
“Say that again!”
“I’m saying you…”
Whoosh–
Jiang Yuan pounced on Princess Ling’an, knocking her down, then straddled her and aimed a punch at her nose, “If you mouth off again, I’ll knock your teeth down your throat!”
Jiang Ning raised her eyebrows.
Jiang Yan anxiously stomped her foot: “Fifth Sister, don’t do this…”
Princess Ling’an covered her nose and yelled, “You’re all dead! Why aren’t you helping me!”
The several noble ladies who had been sucking up to her finally snapped out of their stupor and rushed over.
Some of them grabbed Jiang Yuan’s hair, some grabbed her arms, and some pulled her legs.
Ling’an took the opportunity to try to scratch Jiang Yuan’s face.
“You guys, don’t gang up on one person like this!” Jiang Yan got anxious and also pounced on them.
Four or five noble ladies surrounded and attacked Jiang Yuan and Jiang Yan.
Jiang Ning sat in her wheelchair, silently backing away a few steps. She weighed the rose flower ball in her hand, slightly narrowed her right eye, aimed at Princess Ling’an’s face, and gently threw it over.
Smack!
The flower ball accurately hit Princess Ling’an’s forehead..
