After waiting in the hall for a long time, Jiang Changbai was only about to urge his servants to call after Jiang Luo who was running late when she finally arrived. Jiang Changyuan was also with her, following behind with her head slightly lowered. The two probably met on the way there.

Jiang Luo wore a red crane gown with red makeup and a gold hairpin inlaid with gemstones and lotus flowers. She had delicate-looking red lips and slender phoenix eyes.

Jiang Changyuan dressed more plainly, wearing a light purple sweetheart collar dress with embroidered plum blossoms alongside a red and gold jade butterfly pattern pin in her hair. This hairpin was made from solid gold and silver. It was a precious accessory but unsuitable for young girls. Even more in contrast with Jiang Changyuan’s overall appearance which looked like a pretty lady from a humble family. (t/n: the hairpin probably too bold of an accessory)

Presumably, Aunt Xu from the mansion heard the news of the festival and hurriedly sent Jiang Changyuan to save her face.

She loves her daughter so much but she only knows how precious she is and never knows whether her daughter fits something or not.

Jiang Changning took a second look, and Jiang Changyuan lowered her head and called out: “Elder Sister.”

She turned her face slightly, trying to keep the hairpin on her head out of Jiang Changning’s sight.

Jiang Changning understood and reached out to take out a jade hairpin inlaid with white jade and beads from her hair, and handed it to Jiang Changyuan under Jiang Changyuan’s surprised eyes: “The hairpin on third sister’s hair is too expensive, and there will be so many people in the hunting grounds. Wouldn’t it be a pity if you accidentally lost it? If you don’t dislike it, just use elder sister’s, it’s perfect for third sister.”

They are both thoughtful people, so how could Jiang Changyuan not understand Jiang Changning’s kindness?

With a slightly red face, she took the hairpin from Jiang Changning’s hand, thanked her sincerely, and replaced the gold hairpin on her head.

After handing the hairpin to the maid behind her to put it away, Jiang Changyuan also quietly heaved a sigh of relief.

This hairpin was Aunt Xu’s dowry, and it was the best jewelry in her makeup box.

If Jiang Changyuan refuses her kindness, Aunt Xu may think too much about it.

But it’s really not suitable for her to wear it, so this is her best option.

Mother Jiang looked at the beautiful girls, and she felt joy in her heart. But worried about her delayed plan, she hurriedly urged everyone to get on the carriage and drive to Jiuyong Mountain.

The carriage passed through the streets to the outer suburbs. On the road, you can see luxurious carriages passing by, maybe they are also people who participated in the hunting.

Jiuyong Mountain is the royal hunting ground and is usually inaccessible to people, but today the area was full of life, with people exchanging greetings, chatting and laughing happily.

Most of the people gathered here were dignitaries, and they all dressed in exquisite and luxurious clothes. Some men wore riding and archery outfits while sitting on horseback.

The empress was the center of the crowd, looking graceful and luxurious with her attire, accompanying the emperor to listen to him chatting with the ministers around him.

Jiang Changbai got out of the car and helped the three younger sisters step out one by one.

Jiang Luo rushed out first and was satisfied to hear the voices of the crowd praising her appearance.

Jiang Changning put her hand on the back of her elder brother’s. Her wrist was as bright as snow, with a clear jade bracelet clasped on it.

She stepped down from the carriage, lowered her eyebrows and smoothed her dress. As soon as she raised her head, the air froze, and all the voices around her stopped, and suddenly louder discussions erupted.

“I heard that the first daughter of the Hou family is beautiful, and it is indeed true to see her today.”

“Don’t you know about the marriage of the Hou family? This second lady is the real daughter of the Hou family. It’s a pity for the eldest lady.”

“What a pity, the Hou’s mansion still raises the fake daughter, not to mention she’s a stunning beauty, and the fiancee of the Duke’s mansion.”

“…”

There are children from a family who have a good relationship with Jiang Changbai, and they already noticed him for a while. Seeing their friend’s younger sisters are more beautiful than the other, their eyes light up, and their hearts got lively again.

A few youths in brocade clothes walked over in high spirits. They were outstanding in appearance and luxuriously dressed. After greeting Jiang Changning and others, they wanted to pull Jiang Changbai away.

“Changning, A Luo, A Yuan, if you want to move around, bring more people with you and don’t go too far.”

As the emperor went hunting, the entire Jiuyong Mountain was heavily guarded, and every plant and tree was carefully inspected. Not to mention beasts, even a snake may not be seen.

As they wait for the hunting to start, the organizer started to release the prey they prepared beforehand into the mountain.

Although there was no big threat, the mountains were still dense and crowded, so it was better to be careful.

“Understood, brother.” Jiang Changning smiled slightly, with bright eyes and white teeth, almond eyes and peach cheeks, and her skin became more translucent and white under the sun. Several teenagers quietly blushed to their ears.

Seeing Jiang Changbai walking away with all the teenagers, only Jiang Changning, Jiang Luo and Jiang Changyuan were left standing in place with a group of maids.

“My ladies, let’s go for a walk over there.” Hong Xing pointed to an area with a small slope with brilliant red and purple mountain flowers.

Since Jiang Luo brought someone to her lady’s quarters last time, Hong Xing has become more vigilant. As long as the ladies are alone, she will always cheer right up.

Jiang Luo sneered disdainfully, Jiang Changbai was not here, and she was too lazy to pretend to be in harmony.

She came today not just to enjoy the scenery, but for another purpose.

She thought that once she entered Jiang’s mansion, it would be easy for her to capture them easily, but she kept hitting a wall when fighting against Jiang Changning several times in succession.

Even the favorability of Mother Jiang and Jiang Changbai also went up and down multiple times and after all of her efforts, the points she received were not enough to fill her empty points after exchanging items.

Jiang Luo was growing anxious, and the system was even more so.

Suddenly, Jiang Changbai returned home with the news that he will be going hunting with the emperor.

Don’t hang yourself on a tree (t/n: be flexible on your approach). In this small world, besides Jiang Changning, the daughter of luck, there are also people in the royal family with better luck.

As long as it can be useful for her, her best move right now is to temporarily change her target strategy.
