Chapter 66 Invitation to the Flower Banquet

"I...I just...I really didn't expect you to let me invest...I'm just a lousy artist!" Leng Xin's voice trembled slightly, and her eyes glistened with tears.

She was filled with surprise and emotion, but also felt the gap between her own status and this opportunity.

She considered herself just an ordinary painter and never imagined she could participate in something so important.

At this moment, her feelings were like a vast and turbulent ocean, both excited and complex.

"Alright! Just tell me if you're willing or not! If you keep being so grateful, I'll get arrogant!" Yun Juan couldn't help but tease her, she really was acting like a little crybaby!

"Yes! Yes! Of course I'm willing! Does that mean Ni Chang Fang will be my home from now on?" Leng Xin shouted excitedly, gripping Yun Juan's arm tightly, as if afraid that this was just a dream and she needed to confirm it again before she could believe it.

Her eyes sparkled with joy and anticipation, and her face beamed with a happy smile.

At that moment, she felt incredibly lucky and content because she had finally found a place that belonged to her, a place she could call home.

Leng Xin began to manage the affairs of the Ni Chang Fang, demonstrating extraordinary talent and creativity.

She conducts in-depth research into market demands, keenly captures changes in fashion trends, and continuously launches novel and unique designs, making Nei Chang Fang's products stand out among many competitors.

At the same time, she also focuses on brand building and customer service, winning the trust and reputation of customers with high-quality products and thoughtful service.

In addition, Leng Xin actively expanded business channels and cooperated with other merchants to broaden the sales scope of Ni Chang Fang.

Thanks to her efforts, the business of Ni Chang Fang has become increasingly prosperous and has become a leader in the industry.

She used her paintbrush to depict beautiful patterns and design novel and unique clothing styles, making the business of the clothing store increasingly prosperous.

Meanwhile, Yun Juan's days in the Prime Minister's residence were not easy either, as she had all sorts of things to deal with every day.

That day, Aunt Lan, who was by Wei Wan's side, suddenly came to Yun Juan's residence and asked her to go to Wei Wan's room.

Yun Quan was somewhat surprised, but she still went with Aunt Lan.

Along the way, Aunt Lan explained to Yun Juan, "Miss wants to have a heart-to-heart talk with you and hopes you can come over."

Yun Juan nodded in understanding, but secretly wondered why Wei Wan had come to find her.

Soon, they arrived at Wei Wan's room.

Aunt Lan gently pushed open the door and gestured for Yun Juan to go in.

Yun Quan entered the room and saw Wei Wan sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at her with a serious expression.

Her heart tightened; she didn't know what would happen next.

"Mother, what happened that you called me over so late?" Yun Juan wondered to herself. There must have been some difficult problem, otherwise her mother wouldn't have called her over so late.

As she thought about it, she walked quickly to her mother's bedside, a hint of excitement and anticipation on her face.

When she reached the edge of the bed, she sat down gently beside her mother, her eyes sparkling as if she had countless stories to share with her.

"Mother, I'm here!" she said softly, her voice filled with joy.

Wei Wan smiled, her eyes filled with concern and heartache.

She reached out and gently stroked Yun Quan's hand, feeling her slender fingers, and a feeling of pity welled up in her heart.

"Quan'er, why have you lost weight again? Have you been too busy managing the shop lately? I've gone to your courtyard several times looking for you, but Qinghe always says you're not home!"

Yun Juan smiled slightly, revealing two shallow dimples, looking very well-behaved and cute.

She replied softly, "Mother, don't worry, I'm fine. I recently opened a few new shops, and it was quite busy at first, but everything is running smoothly now, and I'm all done with the work."

After she finished speaking, she winked playfully, as if to show her mother her energy and strength.

Wei Wan's expression was slightly solemn as she handed the invitation to Yun Juan, her tone carrying a hint of mystery: "Juan'er, take a look!"

Yun Juan took the invitation, opened it, and her eyes immediately lit up.

The exquisite designs and elegant fonts on the invitation left her utterly amazed.

"What...what is this?" Yun Juan asked in surprise.

Wei Wan patiently explained, "The Empress is hosting a Hundred Flowers Banquet in the palace, and she has invited ladies and young women from all the families to attend! Our Yun family is naturally among them!"

"Can we not go?" Yun Juan asked anxiously, as she really didn't want to attend such an event.

She knew in her heart that those young ladies from various mansions, who had grown up pampered, would definitely be hostile towards her, someone who had just come from the countryside.

The fact that the Prime Minister's residence neither held a banquet nor sent out invitations to formally announce her return made her very uneasy.

She could foresee that she might be met with various forms of coldness and attacks, but she couldn't escape this gathering.

"I really don't want to go..." she whispered, her heart filled with helplessness and fear.

However, she knew she had no other choice.

Because Her Majesty the Empress has made it clear that the consequences would be unimaginable for anyone who does not attend this gathering.

"There's no way around it! I have to participate! Her Majesty the Empress has warned me both openly and subtly!" These words struck her like a hammer blow, making her realize that she could not go against Her Majesty the Empress's wishes.

Despite her reluctance, she decided to face the challenge bravely, hoping to overcome this difficulty.

"Fine! There's no escaping it now!" Yun Juan was somewhat deflated.

Wei Wan ruffled her hair, knowing that she didn't want to attend such an occasion. Actually, she didn't want to attend either, but there was nothing she could do!

If you don't go, you're disrespecting the Empress!

By then, won't the harem and the mansions have enough underhanded tricks? They'll probably cause even bigger trouble!

Yun Juan understood this principle, but she couldn't help but complain to Wei Wan!

"Alright! Just stay behind your mother, and she'll protect you!" Wei Wan patted her chest and assured Yun Juan.

Yun Juan smiled in agreement!

Even though she knew Wei Wan couldn't protect her, hearing her words still made her very happy, warming her heart and sending a warm current through her!

Clutching the invitation in her hand, Yun Juan left Wei Wan's courtyard and walked back to her room somewhat dejectedly!

"Miss, what's wrong? Why are you so listless? You were fine just now!" Qinghe asked curiously, noticing her mistress's lack of energy.

"Ugh...another party! I don't want to go...Heavens...help me..." Yun Juan lay on the bed with a mournful face, looking utterly hopeless...
