The Rise of Ning Episode 33 Recap
> The Rise of Ning Recap
While Luo Yining and Zhao Mingzhu were choosing flowers, a maid accidentally dirtied Luo Yining's clothes. Following the maid to change, Luo Yining was led to a room that Lu Jiaxue had years ago specially prepared for Miss Meimei. Inside, Luo Yining noticed many familiar items, such as her favorite paper cuttings and delicately crafted Molhe ceramics. It seemed as if the room’s owner understood her tastes perfectly. Puzzled, Luo Yining suddenly spotted a small portrait of herself.
Startled, she turned to find Lu Jiaxue standing behind her. Lu Jiaxue took Luo Yining’s hand, asking if they could start over. Luo Yining tried to break free, but Lu Jiaxue pressed her against the wall, preventing her escape. He spoke in his usual domineering, commanding tone, which Luo Yining found off-putting. Although she understood his feelings, she was certain they were fundamentally different people. Continuing to pressure her, Lu Jiaxue questioned if her heart was now with Luo Shenyuan.
Luo Yining did not hide her admiration for Luo Shenyuan, and upon seeing Lu Jiaxue’s intense jealousy, she felt even more afraid. Just then, someone called her from outside. Seizing the moment when Lu Jiaxue was momentarily distracted, she quickly ran out but twisted her ankle. When Luo Shenyuan heard that Luo Yining had injured her ankle, he rushed over to check on her. Concerned, he examined her injury and questioned Lu Jiaxue’s actions.
Luo Yining, not wanting Luo Shenyuan to worry, chose not to give details. Madam Han later visited the Luo residence, expressing her gratitude to the Luo Dowager for raising Luo Yining. The Dowager, fondly remembering the connection she shared with Luo Yining, was pleased with her granddaughter’s intelligence and cherished their time together. With the Flower Festival approaching, Luo Yining saw an opportunity to rejuvenate Yanrong Pavilion and had Lin Mao create twelve unique perfumes.
Her plan was to gift the perfumes to noble ladies and princesses, hoping that if they liked them, they would become natural endorsers for Yanrong Pavilion. Lin Mao initially felt reluctant to give away the perfumes for free, but upon hearing about the potential endorsement, he agreed with her plan. On the day of the Flower Festival, Luo Yining donned a dress her grandmother had prepared for her, looking as radiant as a lotus emerging from the water.
When she opened the door, she saw Luo Shenyuan, who presented her with the names he had written for the twelve perfumes and adorned her with a flower hairpin. As he placed it on her hair, Luo Yining’s cheeks flushed, and in return, she attached a flower to his hat. As the Festival’s chosen maid of honor, Luo Yining led the other young ladies in a ritual to honor the Flower Goddess.
Her graceful demeanor and the noble aura of the Duke’s household impressed Madam Han, while Zhao Mingzhu looked on with jealousy as Luo Yining occupied the position she desired. After the ritual, Luo Yining showcased the perfumes by spraying them onto silk flowers for the ladies to admire. Enthralled by the enchanting fragrance, the ladies eagerly requested samples. Among the crowd, Miss Sun spotted Luo Shenyuan, admiring his talents. She approached Luo Yining, hoping she would help facilitate a connection.
When Luo Yining learned that Teacher Sun intended to propose a marriage between his daughter and Luo Shenyuan, she was surprised but replied politely, explaining that she was no longer part of the Luo family and thus could not comment on Luo Shenyuan’s marriage plans.
