Chapter 1

Guang prayed for the Grain Rain in the spring of the 30th year.

On a day when swallows are chirping and orioles are singing, the streets of the capital city appear bleak and desolate like winter.

Everywhere I looked was desolate, without a trace of the bustling capital city.

On Zhengyang Avenue leading to the imperial palace, the bronze bells hanging on the carriages made a crisp "ding-dong" sound.

Inside the carriage, a maid with double buns placed the bronze mirror with a double fish pattern in her hand on the rosewood table inside the carriage. She then reached out to remove the gorgeous hairpin from the black hair of the girl sitting inside the carriage.

The angle of the bronze mirror just captured the girl's face.

She was not very old, just coming of age, but she was stunningly beautiful. The flower in her hair was just the right size, making her originally childish face look more beautiful and charming, making her even more stunningly beautiful.

As Wen Ning looked around, she saw through the mirror that her personal maid Mu Jin's hand was on her head, not moving for a long time.

"Take it off." Her voice was soft and gentle, like the finest silk, soft and smooth in the hand. However, the words she spoke made Mu Jin's hands tremble, and she quickly and carefully took off the hairpin without ruffling the girl's hair.

After taking off the hairpin, Mu Jin looked at the girl in the mirror again. Although her features remained the same, her charming look had faded a bit, and she was not so eye-catching at first glance.

"This hairpin is so beautiful..." Mu Jin said in a low voice, as if she felt it was a pity, "It's rare that Madam is willing to give such a good thing to the girl."

The wheels rolled forward. Wen Ning put down the bronze mirror and without explaining much to Mu Jin, he just turned sideways, lifted the curtain and looked out the window.

The towering palace walls can be seen in the distance, a patch of vermilion, dazzling in the sun.

Three days ago, the Wen family received an invitation from the palace, in the name of the Queen, inviting unmarried women from all the mansions to the palace for a flower-viewing banquet at the beginning of the day of Grain Rain at 9:00 p.m., and specifically asking Wen Ning from the Wen family to go.

It was a time when the Northern Ming was in the midst of a war with the Tatars, people's livelihood was in decline, and all industries were in recession. The grand flower-viewing banquet in the palace was like a tall building standing in a gravel desert, abrupt and weird.

Moreover, it is rumored that the current queen has been practicing Buddhism for many years and has rarely appeared in public. Now she is suddenly holding a flower-viewing banquet, which makes people think too much.

After receiving the invitation to the flower-viewing banquet, Mrs. Wen Cao immediately called Wen Ning, picked out the best clothes for her, and brought her many precious jewelry suitable for her to wear.

This is the first time that the sun has risen from the west.

This is because Cao is not Wen Ning's biological mother, and the current Lord Wen is not her biological father. She is just an orphan fostered in the Wen family.

Normally, she had enough food, clothing and daily necessities, but she could never get anything good. Wen Ning knew that Cao had always loved and hated her. She loved her identity as a general's orphan, and she also hated her identity as a general's orphan.
