Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

2125  Invitation

Imperial Family.

Nan Si Qiao frowned when she heard these two phrase from Nan Hua. Even though she didn't have much dealing with the Imperial Family, she knew the implication of these two words very well.

They were not people who could be easily dealt with.

Back then, she had been staying in Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City for a while in order to wait for her second son to get married. And it was also during that time that she was dragged to the schemes of these women in the Imperial Palace.

Even if it was not targeted at her, Nan Si Qiao still felt annoyed and deeply feel that the Imperial Family was not so easy.

If they were so easy, how could it be possible for them to control the power?

After that, Nan SI Qiao tried her best to stay far away from the Imperial Family and made sure that she didn't make any mistake. After all, she didn't want to offend them if it was unnecessary.

It would only make things difficult. Thankfully, Emperor Yang Zhou was not an unreasonable emperor, so it was not that difficult for her to stay low key. "You have to remember to be careful when dealing with the Imperial Family," Nan Si Qiao warned. "You've been making a lot of noises during this time. It might be a bit troublesome."

Troublesome?

Nan Hua had expected that much from the moment she made this plan. In order to make sure that she didn't have to get married so early and able to be involved in some matters at the frontline, she could only use this method. But it was not without risk and troublesome matters.

The most complicated matter was naturally her reputation.

As the young lady who had been staying in Yi Shang Temple for a long time, would one not be concerned about the reason why this young lady had never returned?

There would be many gossips and so on.

Empress Dowager Yan, Yan Jin Nian, had already eliminated part of the troubles through her words and deeds in the Imperial Palace. But there was a limit to how much Yan Jin Nian could convince these people.

The best method was to confront them directly.

Even though it was a bit troublesome, but it was not a big problem for Nan Hua. "Aunt didn't have to worry, I can do it," Nan Hua said slowly.

She didn't care too much about the so called reputation because it would not be able to do anything to her. However, she didn't want to bring trouble to her family and the people around her, so she would take care of this. "Alright, but you still have to…"

After that, the embroidery lesson turned into a lesson about what to pay attention when facing the other nobility and the Imperial Family.

Even though Nan Hua still remembered most of them because she had dealt with them in the past, Nan Si Qiao's good intention was still remembered. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Besides, Nan Si Qiao also shared many gossips in Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City in the recent years.

As it turned out, Nan Si Qiao also liked gossips a lot. …

<Not long distance away, Imperial Palace, Empress Dowager Yan, Yan Jin Nian's location>

Looking at the invitation letter for Empress Xiao's tea party, Yan Jn Nian rolled her eyes.

Not long ago, Empress Xiao obtained some new tea from the new conquered area that was closer to Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City. She wanted to use this small tea party to talk and also share this tea with the noble ladies in Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City.

Yan Jin Nian has been quite busy in the past few days or so. She attended some tea parties with the other noble ladies and women in Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City and also shared the story of her meeting with Nan Hua in Yi Shang Temple. Through this method, almost everyone knew that Nan Hua has been recuperating with Yan Jin Nian.

As for why Nan Hua recuperate?

Yan Jin Nian and Nan Hua agreed to say that Nan Hua was 'frightened' by the sudden assassination and wanted to keep safe. It was only in the recent years she got better and wanted to return. This excuse was indeed a bit far etched.

But since Nan Hua and Yan Jin Nian wanted to use this excuse, then they would use this excuse. Aside from attending these banquets and parties, Yan Jin Nian also paid a visit to Gu Xia Mo in the hospital. Gu Xia Mo was a 'patient' there who paid a huge sum to stay temporarily to recuperate. The doctor who attended him was naturally Nan Hua and Long Qian Xing's people.

This way, no one could say anything about him being in the hospital all day long. Gu Xia Mo also heard about the rumors.

It was just…

'Frightened?'

Thinking about how Nan Hua was killing those assassins and soldiers on that temple, Gu Xia Mo felt rather speechless. Rather than afraid, it was more likely to say that Nan Hua was extremely indifferent even if she were to harvest counties people's lives. He also knew that Nan Hua is actually General Jun Hua from Fei Yang Kingdom. The fact that she had killed countless people and also many powerful generals were not exactly a secret. So when Gu Xia Mo heard this rumor, he only felt his lips twitched.

That Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua were indeed very humorous and dared to blatantly lie like this.

But thinking about Nan Hua's background as the young miss of Nan Family…

It was more believable for her to faint and be frightened and be said that she was so brave that she directly go to the battlefield to fight against countless soldiers and harvested people's lives as easy as harvesting chicken's lives. Anyway, it had nothing to do with Gu Xia Mo, so he didn't pay attention and just lived his life.

And at this time, Yan Jin Nian was staring at the invitation list.
