"Miss Yuan Sun?" Wushuang asked.
After Hua Rong appeared, the noble ladies in the room fell silent.
Hua Rong ignored them and curtsied to Wu Shuang, saying, "I apologize, Princess Wu Shuang, I'm late."
This statement is tantamount to admitting that she is Miss Sun of the Yuan family.
A cold glint flashed in Wushuang's eyes, and she smiled faintly: "Not at all. After all, I know that Miss Yuansun has only been back in Dujing for a short time and is not familiar with certain rules, so naturally I will not blame Miss Yuansun."
"Pfft"
As soon as Wushuang finished speaking, Zheng Yue immediately smiled and said, "Yes, Miss Yuansun, we all know you've come from afar, we won't mind, we won't mind."
Hua Rong didn't take their sarcasm to heart.
She looked around the flower hall and found that there were no empty seats.
He also went straight to the point and asked Wushuang, "I don't know where Hua Rong should sit?"
Since Wushuang is shameless to this extent, why make things difficult for her in this regard?
She naturally had no shame either.
No matter what, she's still a guest.
No one will appreciate a host who makes guests lose face.
Hua Rong took out the invitation in her hand. "The princess is hosting a banquet, but there isn't a single empty seat. Could it be that the princess is making a fool of Hua Rong?"
"Hua Rong won't be angry with the princess, but if my two uncles and my maternal grandfather knew that Hua Rong was being mocked like this, they would probably be disrespectful to the princess."
Come on, you have a strong dad, but I also have a strong maternal grandfather and two uncles.
Her maternal grandfather was backed by a regent.
Let's have a competition and see who can beat whom!
Wushuang's face darkened; she had indeed not saved a seat for Hua Rong.
I just wanted to make things difficult for Hua Rong.
But now the words of tolerance have reached this point.
If she continues to make things difficult for Hua Rong based on this point...
In the end, it will likely affect not only his own reputation.
She didn't get a good word from her father either.
Although Prime Minister Yuan supported the Regent's faction.
But in reality, he most supported the Song Dynasty regime.
It can be said that if Shen Yue were to rebel in the end...
Prime Minister Yuan was definitely the first to stand up and oppose it.
For such people, Prince Ling always chose to neither befriend them nor offend them.
If it is because of Hua Rong that the Yuan family develops a dislike for Prince Ling.
The first thing her father wanted to punish was her.
Thinking of this, she suppressed her frustration.
Then, forcing a smile, she said, "This is because I, the princess, did not think things through. I did not mean to tease Miss Yuansun. Guards, please give Miss Yuansun a seat next to me."
Hua Rong narrowed his eyes upon hearing this.
She looked around and, sure enough, found that the noble ladies were looking at her with very unfriendly eyes.
This Wushuang is truly a master of scheming.
This statement placed her directly in opposition to all the noble ladies.
Although Yuan Yang held a high official position, one's place in the circle of noble ladies was not solely determined by the rank of one's father.
For example, Li Xiang and Zheng Yue.
The reason they were able to sit above the other noble ladies of Dujing was because...
It is also related to their own talent.
After all, the other daughters of the ministers were sitting below them.
However, it was impossible for Hua Rong to refuse.
She smiled and sat down in the seat that had just been set out.
Turning to Wushuang, she said, "Thank you, Princess. I also think this location is better. However, in this entire flower hall, the Princess's seat is still the best."
As he spoke, he glanced longingly at Wushuang's chair a few times.
Wushuang: "..."
Hua Rong smiled: If she weren't arrogant, she wouldn't be herself.
She looked at the food on Wushuang's table: "The food on the princess's table seems more delicious."
Wu Shuang gritted her teeth and smiled, "Give the snacks on my table to Miss Yuan Sun."
Hua Rong said, "As expected of a princess, the ornaments on your head are even better than my own."
Wushuang gritted her teeth again: "If Miss Yuansun wants it, I have another set. Miss Yuansun can take it back to the manor later."
"Princess!"
Zheng Yue refused, because Wushuang had already promised to give her that set of jewelry.
She glared at Hua Rong: "Miss Yuan Sun is from the Prime Minister's residence, how can she act like a country bumpkin who has never seen the world?"
Hua Rong feigned sudden realization: "Does this young lady mean that the princess's things aren't rare?"
Seeing Zheng Yue's face turn pale, Hua Rong turned to the princess and said, "In that case, I don't need the princess's jewelry. I can probably buy some at any stall."
"You, you, you..." Zheng Yue saw Wushuang glaring at her and hated Hua Rong for sowing discord even more.
"What do you mean, Zheng Yue? You're really bold to look down on the princess!"
Li Xiang was extremely satisfied with Hua Rong.
Her words are so sharp they've made her want to become her apprentice.
Hua Rong glanced at Li Xiang... well, she didn't recognize her.
Zheng Yue wanted to say something, but Wushuang glared at her again.
Wushuang was feeling a bit tired.
I originally thought that Hua Rong, who grew up among merchants, was at most all looks and no substance.
But now it seems that his words were indeed quite venomous.
She looked at Hua Rong and asked, "Why is Miss Yuan Sun wearing a veil?"
Zheng Yue then spoke up, "That's right, it's said that Miss Yuan Sun is incomparably beautiful, so why is she wearing a mask right now? Does she think we're not worthy to see Miss Yuan Sun's beauty?"
Zheng Yue's words were blatant attempts to sow discord.
But then someone else chimed in, "Yes, Miss Yuan Sun, why don't you take the noodles off?"
“Miss Yuan Sun, look, none of us here are wearing veils.”
"Miss Yuan Sun, why don't you take off your veil? That would make it easier for you to eat."
