Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

1006 Empress’ Banquet

“Yes, Miss.”

Even though Chu Yue really wanted to rush over to Jian Family Residence and kill Chi Song Hui, she knew that it was not reasonable. She could only follow Nan Hua’s order and wrote the letter to Chi Song Hui.

Ah, if only she was allowed to, she would want to make him suffer.

…

<Jian Family Residence in Zhang Xu Kingdom’s Capital City>

Chi Song Hui was having another headache after a drinking contest with Zhang Kong. Whenever he came to the Capital City, this good friend of his would always force him to drink a lot.

As the result, Chi Song Hui had another hangover.

His head hurt so much that he stayed on the bed, acting like a sick person. It was only after Zhang Kong heard that he had such poor hangover and ended up sick did he finally leave.

Chi Song Hui could finally heave a sigh of relief.

.....

“Young Master, Miss Jun had given her reply.”

“She replied?” Chi Song Hui took the letter and read the content. The corner of his mouth curled up to form a smirk. “As expected, she couldn’t wait to show her true color when she heard of that invitation.

Hmm, wanting to come by herself? What a feisty little girl. I don’t mind following her request. As long as she came, she’ll fall into the trap.”

Chi Song Hui licked his lips. He always liked a feisty girl compared to those who would just throw themselves to him. This made it a bit more fun for him to play. He felt that this kind of girl was really suited for him to play.

The servant in front of Chi Song Hui had long gotten used to Chi Song Hui’s crooked personality. He had seen many other young misses fell for his trap. Because of his identity as the Empress’ nephew, a lot of young miss tried to climb onto his lap.

Unfortunately, this young master didn’t care for them and only toyed with them for as long as they could amuse him.

That was the reason why his reputation was so bad that no other noble family wanted to offer their daughter to him as his marriage partner.

…

The day passed quietly.

Nan Hua was reviewing the report that Nan Si gave to her, memorizing everything that was necessary. She had to do her job at the shortest time possible, so it was important that all preparation before was perfect.

Chu Yue helped Nan Hua to dress up. At the very least, Nan Hua had to dress appropriately during this occasion while not attracting a lot of attention. The most important thing was for her to be ordinary.

And it was actually the hardest thing.

It took Chu Yue a long time when doing Nan Hua’s makeup to tone down Nan Hua’s beauty slightly. This was in order to make it easier for Nan Hua to slip away without anyone noticing.

Though, she could always do that through other way.

But if she could make it easier by making her look ordinary, why wouldn’t she do that?

She was not there to flaunt her beauty anyway.

“It’s done, Miss.”

“Prepare the carriage.”

“Yes.”

Looking at the bronze mirror, Nan Hua was silent. She truly wondered what she was actually supposed to do in order to make her beauty not too eye catching. The makeup equipment in this world was different from her previous world, making her a bit unsure what she was supposed to do.

In the end, Nan Hua just let it be.

“Si, wait in front of Zhang Family Residence.”

“Yes, Miss.”

Nan Si disappeared from his hiding place and headed towards Zhang Family Residence.

Nan Hua walked out of the inn and headed into the carriage. She had no intention of staying in Zhang Xu Kingdom for a long period of time, so she hoped that this matter would finish tonight.

Countless people gathered in the Empress’ palace. Nan Hua alighted amongst the crowd and blend in, making sure that she was invincible. Behind her, Chu Yue was following her from a distance away, silently protecting Nan Hua.

‘It’s a grand palace.’

The palace of Zhang Xu Kingdom was far larger compared to Fei Yang Kingdom. Zhang Xu Kingdom’s glory extended from the very beginning as they used to be the leader of other kingdoms. But things slowly changed as more and more people grew powerful in the other kingdoms.

Eventually, it turned into six big kingdoms who were fighting against one another.

Nan Hua lowered her eyes and slowly walked towards the main hall. There were so many young ladies there. She turned to the side and saw that the men were on the other side of the hall. ????????????????e????????. ????o????

While there was still restriction between men and women, this restriction was somewhat insignificant in Zhang Xu Kingdom.

They could still gather in some important large banquet like this one.

If it was Fei Yang Kingdom, it was harder for male and females to interact with each other except when they came to the banquet for those married couples. And those banquets couldn’t be attended by the unmarried people.

It was only when Nan Hua came into the hall that she fully felt the differences between the two kingdoms.

They have similar cultures.

But there were still some differences between one with the other.

“Young Master Chi, the guards said that your invitation has been used.”

“That means she’s here.” Chi Song Hui nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand. “Find her, she wouldn’t be able to hide.”

With that beautiful face, how could she run away from him?

Nan Hua was not far from Chi Song Hui, but her makeup made her look somewhat different compared to when she was not wearing makeup. This made it harder for them to recognize her.

Lowering her head, Nan Hua silently blend into the crowd, not caring for Chi Song Hui at all.

She was only using him to enter this banquet.

As for the problems that followed…

She would just leave it to him.
