After I was Exiled, I Became a Noble Minister

The red lanterns were hung high at the entrance of the Mu mansion.

The sweet-smelling osmanthus flowers looked splendid and covered the pavilions in red, making them look beaming.

Today was the birthday of the old lady of Mu Mansion and various guests were invited to congratulate the old lady on her birthday.

In the main hall, the birthday star, the old lady Mu, was dressed in noble and rich clothes. 

The old lady was sitting in the middle like the moon surrounded by stars and entertained the daughters of various families with a smile on her face.

Several of the old lady’s granddaughters accompanied her, each looking more beautiful than the other.

Among them, the one who was standing at the front was the eldest granddaughter of the Mu family, Mu Jin Yao, whose father was the head of the Mu family, the official of the Ministry of Home Affairs.

She was beautiful and talented, the most famous lady in the capital.
Among all the granddaughters of the Mu family, Mu Jin Yao was always in the limelight.

Since she was ten years old, the threshold of the Mu family had been trampled by countless matchmakers.

As soon as she reached marriageable age, a perfect marriage was matched.

Today’s protagonist was naturally the old lady Mu. 

She gave birth to two sons and two daughters.
The eldest son was now the third-rank official in the Ministry of Home Affairs, and he was going to be promoted soon. 

The two daughters were also married well, and there was a granddaughter who was famous for her beauty in the capital. 

The Mu family’s future looked promising.

A lot of people gathered around the old lady Mu to flatter her, “Each granddaughter of the old lady looks better than the other.
The eldest lady is kind and virtuous, with both talent and beauty, even the Imperial concubine has praised her.”

Mu Jin Yao was wearing a gold and white satin jacket with peony strands, and a light pink brocade skirt.
The pearls in her hair looked round and splendid making her look more and more attractive.

The old lady Mu rubbed her slender hand, and with eyes full of kindness, said, “The proudest thing in my life is to teach such an excellent granddaughter.
Having her alone is better than countless other children.
Speaking of which, I really don’t want her to marry so soon.”

Mu Jin Yao’s marriage partner was Jiang Ming Ye, the prince of Hou’s mansion.

The most important thing was that Jiang Ming Ye’s aunt was the most favored concubine in the palace, and she might be able to go even higher in the future.

Hearing the old lady’s words, Mu Jin Yao blushed with shame and secretly glanced at the madam of Hou’s mansion who was sitting on the left, her future mother-in-law.

The graceful and luxurious Madam Hou gently smiled at Mu Jin Yao, it seemed that she liked her very much.

Mu Jin Yao was secretly happy, and couldn’t help but look forward to a better life in the future.

Mu Jin Yao stole the limelight, and the other girls in the Mu family were unhappy in their hearts, but they could not show it on their faces. 

They stood there smiling silently and gave their birthday gifts to the old lady, like a painting, a music piece, or some embroidery work done by themselve
