Forgotten Legend Of The Bloodied Flower

Chapter 76 - Provocation

Nan Hua raised her head and saw the troubled Nan Xin. Her dark obsidian eyes were calm without any ripples in the slightest bit. "Princess Yue sure jest. We come at different time because we live in different quarter."

"Oh?" Princess Yue didn't expect for Nan Hua to simply bluntly said her current living condition. Her eyes narrowed. "Why is that, Miss Nan?"

There were several pairs of eyes that were looking in her direction. However, Nan Hua kept her calm as she didn't care about them and only observed their reaction even without looking directly.

"The elders have some disagreement and I as the younger generation didn't fully understand. Please forgive this one for her inability to understand," Nan Hua replied and bowed her head lightly.

Princess Yue's lips twitched.

While Nan Hua was saying that it was her fault for not understanding, wasn't it the same as implying that they were the younger generations and shouldn't pry deeper in the adults' world? Their decision was not their business at all.

Even discussing it would seem impolite.

Feeling slightly vexed, Princess Yue waved her hand. "There's no need for you to apologize. It's not your fault, First Miss Nan. Please sit straight."

"Thank you for your generosity, Princess Yue." Nan Hua then straightened her back and continued to look at the table in front of her. From the corner of her eyes, she could see Princess Yue chose to change the subject.

Some of them didn't understand what happened but they didn't pry deeper.

If Princess Yue didn't want to say, they were not in the position to even infer what the princess wanted to say.

Nan Xin was a bit at lost. She could only stand there foolishly before finding a chair to sit down. Even though she didn't understand what Nan Hua meant with those words, she knew that she was out of trouble.

For now...

Long Xu Nian gripped her hand tighter as she looked at the group in front of her. She wanted Nan Hua to be in trouble but in one sentence, the young girl had dealt with everything. How vexing.

'How can she be good in everything?'

Some other ladies who were staying in the temple came. They all looked quite excited to be able to associate with Princess Yue and kept on flattering her. Only Shangguan Die kept on interrupting from time to time and many ladies would look in her direction due to her beauty from time to time.

It was a battlefield.

"This is a tea party and I have prepared tea for all of you. This is a new type of tea that's brought from the newly conquered area. Imperial Father gave me some of them for taste." Princess Yue smiled brightly.

"His Majesty must have doted on you greatly, Princess Yue."

"To think that we have the honor to taste it."

"Thank you very much, Your Highness. You don't know how lucky we are to be able to be present in this tea party you host."

There were many other similar praise. It looked like the ladies were all battling to know who can give praise faster. Nan Hua also gave her thanks to Princess Yue since it would be impolite to say no.

"Would His Majesty even spare you some?" Shangguan Die asked cynically. Her tone clearly showed that she didn't believe whatever Princess Yue said.

"Miss Shangguan, don't you already know that His Majesty often share the goods he had received. His Majesty is very generous and as his subjects, we all know it very much," Long Xu Nian interrupted from the side.
