Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 692

Chapter 692: Lunch

But of course, Nan Hua didn't truly say it to Long Qian Xing.

The rest of the morning was spent with them watching the noble girls showing their talent one by one. After music, it was painting. With just two events, more than half of the girls who came were eliminated one by one.

It was already long enough for the day.

"There's a lunch break." Long Qian Xing looked at Nan Hua with regret. If only it was not inappropriate in front of others, he would like to eat with Nan Hua. But since there were a lot of people here, he better not tries to cross the limit.

"Brother Long, I'll be going for a while." Nan Hua curtsied. She thought for a moment before adding, "I'll be back soon."

"Okay."

Long Qian Xing watched as Nan Hua walked away. He sighed to himself and really wished that the custom was not so complicated. For him to ask her coming here was already breaching the line a bit.

If not because Emperor Yang Zhou gave his permission personally, Long Qian Xing wouldn't be able to do this like today. He sighed internally and walked towards the inner garden where the other Imperial Family members gathered.

Prince Yang Lu looked at Long Qian Xing and greeted the other party once more, "Young Master Long, are you going to eat with us?"

"Your Highness." Long Qian Xing cupped his fist. "There's a separate table at the other side of the room. This one wouldn't dare to share the same table with you, Your Highness."

"I see."

The matter of etiquette and custom had long been ingrained in their body for so many years. It was their way of life and naturally couldn't be changed easily. They were also very familiar with the annoying methods of those who were living as part of the Imperial Family.

Mu Fei Xin looked a bit disappointed when she didn't see Nan Hua anywhere. She actually wanted to chat more with Nan Hua because it was rare for her to meet with someone who didn't look at others based on their status.

Besides, she hadn't had the chance to talk a lot with Nan Hua before.

"Please excuse this one, Your Highness." Long Qian Xing cupped his fist and retreated to the side, taking the empty table for him.

Prince Yang Lu looked in Long Qian Xing's direction for a moment then retracted his gaze. Even now, he could never understand what was inside the young commander's mind. He had already interacted with Long Qian Xing a few times in the past because he had seen the other party studying with his brother.

But he didn't have much of impression of Long Qian Xing.

All he knew was that this was a youth who liked to smile and seemed polite with others. It was only later on he realized that Long Qian Xing was actually a very talented young man who could possibly become a general in the future.

He didn't understand why his grandfather would pick Long Qian Xing to be by his Imperial Brother's side.

After all, the two of them were still very young back then.
