Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 772

Chapter 772: Empress Xiao Qiang’s Banquet (2)

Empress Xiao Qiang kept a smile on her face. She didn't show much movement nor reaction as it seemed that she only regarded everything as small talk. Only those who were keen enough would notice that the Empress was actually also testing them this time.

It was only a small banquet.

But there were some noble women who brought their daughter along.

In fact, the unmarried young ladies who were invited to this banquet was very limited and it naturally included Nan Hua.

'There's no Nan Xin, no Mu Fei Jiu, no Lei Family…'

Nan Hua was silently looking at the guest list and realized that she almost knew no one. This made her a bit speechless. It seemed that the number of friends she actually has was so terribly pitiful.

And talking directly with Empress Xiao Qiang didn't seem to be so plausible.

The two of them were only acquaintances at most. They never really talked to each other and mostly only chatted about what was important through riddles in order for others not to find out.

"For today, Ben Gong had prepared a play for everyone to enjoy." Empress Xiao Qiang naturally lead the crowd easily.

The people around her all praised her for her amazing ideas and all. It was as if they wanted to praise Empress Xiao Qiang to the Heaven.

"First Young Miss Nan, please sit here."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Nan Hua didn't reject and took the seat beside Empress Xiao Qiang and only slightly lower than her.

The other noble women looked at her and felt a bit envious. But when they thought of Great General Nan, all of their complaints were swallowed back to their throat. They wanted to complain, at what base?

Since Nan Hua was known to be acknowledged by her grandfather, it was only natural that she had the status as the granddaughter of a grand duke.

They?

Not a single one of them could procure higher status compared to Nan Hua. After all, earning titles by themselves were hard and Great General Nan was the one and only Grand Duke in Fei Yang Kingdom.

These women could only silently turn their head to watch the performance in front of them.

Nan Hua looked at the show and blinked her eyes. It was a love story between a farmer and a noble lady. The story depicted how the noble lady had to face a lot of scorn and rejection by her family members before she could be with the farmer.

The story was good.

But was it really suitable to show it to so many unmarried noble ladies?

As Nan Hua had expected, the face of the mothers who brought their daughters here turned darker. It seemed that their plan would backfire. If this play were to influence their daughter, they would be "smashing rock to their feet."
