Chapter 2130: Empress Xiao’s Banquet
Nan Si Qiao smiled when she saw Nan Hua came out after dressing up.
“The carriage is ready. Remember to be careful when you’re there, Hua’er,” Nan Si Qiao gave the last advice before Nan Hua go.
Raising her head, Nan Hua could see that Nan Si Qiao was truly worried. She nodded. “I know, Aunt. Aunt didn’t have to worry and just have to prepare for Uncle’s return.”
“Ah…” Nan Si Qiao thought about Feng Qian Shao and there was a smile on her face. When thinking about him, Nan Si Qiao couldn’t help but want to smile more. No matter how many years have passed, it has always been the same.
Nan Hua looked at Nan Si Qiao’s expression and felt that the relationship between her uncle and aunt were really good.
“I’m going first, Aunt.”
“Yes.”
Nan Si Qiao thought about what Old Master Nan said and then went back to Feng Family Residence that was right beside Nan Family Residence. If she was not wrong, she had to clean up first so that it would be more comfortable when Feng Qian Shao returned later.
…
<Fei Yang Kingdom’s Capital City, Imperial Palace>
One by the one the noble women and ladies came to the Imperial Palace. Looking at these women who brought their daughters here, Nan Hua’s eyes flickered slightly.
From time to time, Emperor Yang Zhou would pick women to his harem. But he hadn’t added more ever since Fei Yang Kingdom’s loss to Shi Long Kingdom. It was said that he was too busy with war and the women were also calming down so that they would not make trouble. But now that the war was over, some people’s heart started to move.
They wanted to try taking this chance to see whether it was possible or not for them to add their daughters to the Imperial Palace.
It was even more so for the middle officials’ families.
Nan Hua lowered her head and looked at the Imperial Palace in front of her. She had been wearing a veil just in order to cover up her appearance.
After looking at her own appearance in the mirror, Nan Hua felt that it would be safer for her to wear veil because this kind of appearance was simply the type that could attract men all
over.
And it was not what Nan Hua wanted.
If she were too eye catching, she would be accused of seducing others just by being present. Nan Hua would honestly feel headache if she were to be accused as such.
She had no interest at all in the Imperial Palace.
And for the Nan Family to be associated with the Imperial Family… it would only give them more trouble than anything.
Walking through the familiar road, Nan Hua soon arrived at the inner section and the eunuch was busy announcing who had arrived. Empress Xiao was also greeting them one by one with a smile on her face.
These noble women and ladies were also greeting Empress Xiao kindly, making sure that they were able to be acquainted.
“Young Miss Nan from Nan Family had arrived.”
Young Miss Nan?
Several people turned their head to look in Nan Hua’s direction and their eyes stopped when they saw her. Even though Nan Hua was already 21 years old, which was considered ‘old’ in this era to get married, but her appearance was still extremely beautiful.
Her fair skin didn’t seem to be affected by her long journey on the battlefield. Added with the cream that she made, she looked fairer by now. With the veil, only her eyes were clearly visible, but they could guess that Nan Hua’s appearance must have been very beautiful.
This made some women felt a bit jealous.
“Your Majesty,” Nan Hua greeted when she saw Empress Xiao coming towards her. It was only etiquette for those of lower rank to greet those of higher rank first unless they called for them, in which it was impossible for them to greet first.
Empress Xiao smiled. “Young Miss Nan.”
Looking at Nan Hua’s eyes and delicate eyebrows, Empress Xiao had to say that Nan Hua’s face was truly carved beautifully. It was as if every part of her was designed so carefully that people couldn’t find fault in it as it could easily attract one’s attention.
Be it women or men, they had to say that Nan Hua is truly beautiful.
If such a woman didn’t have any fiancé, it was estimated that Nan Family Residence’s threshold would be broken by countless families asking for marriage.
For such a beauty, not many men could give up.
Even if it was only to appreciate her from afar.
“Thank you for coming today, Young Miss Nan,” Empress Xiao said with a smile.
“It’s an honor for me to be invited by you, Your Majesty,” Nan Hua replied politely, in accordance to etiquette.
Empress Xiao’s eyes flickered.
In the past, Nan Hua was also quite eloquent, but Nan Hua gave off more of indifference and coldness that was masked. On the surface, she looked like a young woman who was silent and didn’t have much presence.
But now, Empress Xiao felt that she seemed to see a faint pressure.
The kind of pressure that she only experienced from those who were truly powerful.
Like the Emperor…
Empress Xiao quickly pressed down the thoughts in her heart. Nan Hua is nothing more than the young miss of Nan Family. How could she be compared to the Emperor who was chosen by
the Heaven?
It must be an illusion to make her think about such an outrageous thing.
No humans could be compared to the Emperor and Empress Xiao didn’t dare to break this
unwritten rule.
“Come with me to your seat, Young Miss Nan,” Empress Xiao said.
Nan Hua could see Empress Xiao seemed to think of something but then acted normal. She
blinked her eyes but didn’t question it.
Her arrival was bound to make some people move their hearts.
