Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 2131: Empress Xiao’s Banquet (2)



Nan Hua was not surprised by it.

Empress Xiao made Nan Hua's seat not far from her. After all, based on status alone, Nan Family behind Nan Hua was truly worthy of this position.

Higher than any other noble women, but below the Imperial Family.

The tea party was also relatively simple. These women would talk about some rumors and then Empress Xiao brought out the tea that she had prepared before.

Tasting the tea, Nan Hua was simply analyzing the effect for body.

Some tea was quite good and this was not an exception.

Strangely enough, Empress Xiao didn't ask for Nan Hua's opinion and talked more with the other noble women who have already married. It seemed that she felt their opinion would be better than the young ladies who only learn a bit.

In terms of experience, these noble ladies were indeed more lacking.

Nan Hua watched these noble ladies who followed their mother and knew very well that most of them were only here in hope to be able to catch Emperor Yang Zhou's eyes. Some others came because of the tea and also to get closer to Empress Xiao.

But Empress Xiao remained more neutral because of her family.

The Xiao Family was known as the scholarly family and they were also family that followed the Emperor more than the other factions.

The tea discussion was only for a short while.

After that, they were discussing about various other matters that happened in Fei Yang Kingdom. More accurately, they were discussing about events in Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City because it was the closest one to them.

"Speaking of which, General Xing had returned to Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City," one of the noble ladies spoke up. "I heard that he came to Nan Family Residence. Is it because of an engagement, Young Miss Nan?"

Nan Hua's eyes narrowed slightly when she heard the question.

Even though Long Qian Xing had come to propose back then, the gifts were not ready yet because Old Madam Long added more things. Long Qian Xing was helpless towards his grandmother's decision, but he let her be.

It was only yesterday that the long gift was sent to Nan Family Residence along with the formal proposal and all.

In this way, Nan Hua is officially Long Qian Xing's fiancée once again.

Many people had thought that Long Qian Xing would be a free man after Nan Hua's 'death' but this news broke who knew how many ladies' heart.

After all, some people thought that they might have a chance.

But in the end, it was clear that there was no so called chance at all because Long Qian Xing was completely set on Nan Hua.

Now that Nan Hua was here, these noble ladies had no intention to let Nan Hua go.

"Yes, Young Miss Su," Nan Hua replied unhurriedly. She looked at the young lady in front of her and remembered her surname through the introduction back then. Her memory was good because it was crucial for her survival.

And this time, she was paying attention to these noble ladies because some of them were opposing the Nan Family.

It would be good to gain some additional information from these noble ladies.

"Young Miss Nan is amazing." Young Miss Su looked at Nan Hua and then asked, "I wonder how Young Miss Nan is able to catch General Xing's heart so firmly."

Her sentence didn't seem to be wrong, but it seemed to imply that Nan Hua was using some kind of schemes to get Long Qian Xing. This would undoubtedly lower the other noble ladies's evaluation of Nan Hua.

"General Xing is a loyal man who remembered his family's promise," Nan Hua replied unhurriedly.

Family's promise.

Young Miss Su's lips twitched when she heard Nan Hua's answer.

In a way, Nan Hua's words were correct.

After all, the engagement between the two families were arranged by their families instead of themselves. That engagement was made when the two children were still very young or even babies.

It was impossible for the two children to do anything at that time.

They didn't even have the memory about those days because it has been a long time ago.

But this was clearly not what Young Miss Su wanted to hear from Nan Hua.

"It's the family's decision?" Another young miss asked.

Nan Hua looked at the young miss, who was clearly a few years younger than her. To be honest, Nan Hua was already the oldest unmarried girl in this group. The other girls were all still teenager in her eyes.

"Would your family allow you to make your own decision?" Nan Hua asked back.

To this, the young miss shut up.

Her mother was here and if she heard her speaking nonsense, it was estimated that she would be grounded.

Women's status in this era was really low and she didn't want to make trouble for her family. The goal to come here was to catch Emperor Yang Zhou's eyes if possible, so she would not make unnecessary trouble with Nan Hua.

Seeing that the girl no longer asking question, Nan Hua was about to pay attention to the tea in front of her when Young Miss Su asked another question, "Young Miss Nan, can you tell us

about your days in Yi Shang Temple?"

Nan Hua stopped and her eyes flickered.

It seemed that the Su Family was getting more and more unreasonable.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

More than a decade ago, their children were making trouble with her and tried to scheme against her. Now that she returned to Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City, the Su Family was once again making more trouble.

She raised her head and replied, "Yi Shang Temple is a good temple for recuperation. The garden there is beautiful and there are a lot of scripture to be copied. If Young Miss Su ever

needs a calm environment, she can go there."

Young Miss Su's expression condensed. "You..."

"Empress Dowager Yan had arrived."
