Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 683: Watch the Show

Nan Hua didn't bother with Nan Xin as she swept her gaze across the courtyard. There were a lot of women here and Nan Hua didn't know most of them. As someone who spent most of her time inside her quarter, she naturally didn't have much interaction with these women.         

    

When she looked around for a bit, she noticed a familiar person coming from the inner palace. Her cold and indifferent eyes unknowingly softened slightly.     

At this time, Long Qian Xing had already finished with the preparation. He walked out to look at the venue and immediately saw Nan Hua who stood there looking around. Despite the low presence Nan Hua had, Long Qian Xing felt that he could easily spot her wherever he wanted.     

Dressed in peach colored dress, Nan Hua's figure looked rather calm and peaceful. Her dress was made in beautiful flower and vines embroidery that looked like they were alive. If it was any other person, the person's attention would have landed on the dress more than the person.     

But with Nan Hua wore the dress, she suppressed it all, making the dress complement her beauty instead. The veil only covered half of her face, allowing her black obsidian eyes to be visible as she swept her gaze across the courtyard.     

'Hua'er.'     

That was only one word that appeared in Long Qian Xing's mind when he saw her. Even amidst so many other girls, he could recognize her instantly. His legs moved on its own as he began to walk towards the young girl.     

Nan Hua naturally noticed Long Qian Xing's move. She chose to stand still as she stared back in his direction.     

Dressed in black robe, Long Qian Xing looked a bit more menacing than he used to be. However, his defined countenance definitely looked even better as he stood there under the sun.     

Although he didn't do anything special Long Qian Xing still looked like an elite. With his natural aura and good looks, he definitely stood out from the crowd. And when his sharp gaze landed on Nan Hua, a rare look of gentleness appeared. It caused his already handsome face to be highlighted, making one unable to look away from him.     

"Who's that?"     

Some of the girls were stunned when they saw Long Qian Xing appeared and strode towards them. His clothes were definitely that of Imperial Guard, but they felt that they were blinded because of his good looks. It was rare to see someone so good looking and young among the Imperial Guards.     

Heck, even the young masters they met might not even be as good as him?     

What's more, they were curious just why this man suddenly strode towards the direction of the girls. Shouldn't the Imperial Guard maintain their distance from them?     

Before they could think of anything, Long Qian Xing had stopped before Nan Hua.     

"Young Miss Nan, please come with me."     

"Yes, Young Master Long."     

The two of them would not address each other like this when they were in private. But since there were a lot of eyes looking at them, Nan Hua followed the basic etiquette and curtsied towards her fiancé politely.     

Long Qian Xing's smile turned even gentler as he looked at her elegant movement. He really wished that time could move quicker so that the two of them could become adult faster.     

The two of them left the courtyard under countless eyes looking at them.     

"That's Young Master Long and his fiancée, First Young Miss Nan!"     

"Oh my… I used to think that my brother is exaggerating when he said that Young Master Long is going to be the target of all girls should he not have any fiancée, but now I think he's undervaluing him. Even with a fiancée, I'm sure a lot of people would want a piece of him."     

"But the two of them look so compatible from the back."     

"I didn't expect to see the two of them today."     

"It seems that His Majesty must have given an exception for the two of them to watch the Empress Selection this time."     

"I'm not jealous… Okay, I really wish that I can be like First Young Miss Nan."         

    

"Young Master Long looked so gentle just now."     

The girls were all whispering among themselves, but the content of their words were more or less the same. They were stunned speechless when they saw the outstanding man and knowing that this man was taken… once again pierced their heart.     

They definitely wouldn't be able to forget this.     

Especially when they saw that Long Qian Xing didn't bring Nan Hua anywhere but the nearby viewing area. Looking at the two figure who sat next each other, they felt that the two somewhat suited each other.     

And many girls were not that stupid to try going between them in this kind of place.     

They were here because they wanted to compete for the Empress seat and not the seat of a future general's wife.     

'Damn it.'     

Nan Xin gritted her teeth as she watched it all. She thought that Nan Hua would be easily humiliated because she came while having a fiancé. But looking at this, it didn't seem to be the case. Nan Hua was not here to compete.     

She was here to watch.     

How annoying!     

While the girls were busy whispering to each other, Nan Hua followed Long Qian Xing towards the pond. There was a bridge towards a viewing area in the middle. The viewing area had roof and there was a table prepared in the middle.     

It seemed that Long Qian Xing had already planned for this in advance.     

"Thank you for accepting my invitation, Hua'er." Long Qian Xing looked at Nan Hua and smiled warmly.     

Nan Hua glanced back at Long Qian Xing. Naturally, she knew that the letter from the Imperial Palace back then was from Long Qian Xing. She also recognized his handwriting because he had once sent a letter to her grandfather through her.     

She bowed slightly. "It's my honor to be here, Brother Long."
