Chapter 22: Thin Soup

Aunt Hua quickly comforted her daughter: "Why can't you be more patient? As a daughter of the Jiang family, a high-born lady, you should be knowledgeable and well-mannered, virtuous and good. With such impetuous and irritable behavior, how can you catch the eye of the ladies in the palace and win over Prince Yu's heart?"

Jiang Yuan was stunned: "Mother, what are you talking about?"

"My silly daughter, can't you understand what your father is implying?" Aunt Hua couldn't contain her joy, "Your father said, we should prepare well for the selection and not disappoint him."

Jiang Yuan's heart slowly filled with ecstasy: "Mother, are you saying... I will be chosen?"

"Isn't it obvious? Your father is close to the emperor and is the Minister of Revenue. It's not impossible for him to have some influence in the palace. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said such things." Aunt Hua stroked her daughter's head, "Besides, my daughter is beautiful, Prince Yu is sure to take a fancy to you."
