Fang Qingyue's fingers gently stroked the edge of the sachet, and a hint of tenderness appeared on her face.
afternoon.
Today, the Liu Mansion is bustling with activity because of the flower viewing banquet.
The noble ladies attended the event in their best attire, walking among the flowers and trees.
There was laughter everywhere and the whole courtyard was filled with a peaceful atmosphere.
Fang Qingyue was wearing an elegant plain skirt, as pure as jade, which formed a sharp contrast with the surrounding scene full of jewels and gems.
She walked into the Liu Mansion in a low-key manner, with a calm look, neither ostentatious nor attracting attention.
As Shen Yuhan's "wife-to-be", although her identity is special, it is not known to everyone.
Therefore, no one recognized her among these elegantly dressed, cheerfully talking and laughing ladies.
Fang Qingyue was very happy about this and felt that this kind of leisure and freedom was exactly what she wanted.
Walking in the courtyard shaded by flowers, Fang Qingyue admired the scenery in the courtyard.
I strolled casually, thinking that this flower viewing banquet must have other intentions.
Liu Yunyun specially invited her here, so it was definitely not just for the superficial appreciation of flowers.
She knew that her journey was dangerous and was prepared in her heart, but she still responded calmly.
She didn't like these social interactions and had no intention of making friends with the noble ladies in the capital.
But this banquet was an opportunity for her to show that she was neither humble nor arrogant.
"Miss Fang, the scenery here is so elegant." A lady passing by came over and smiled at her gently.
Fang Qingyue nodded gently and responded gently: "Madam, you are too kind. The flowers here are in full bloom and are a delight to the eyes."
The other party saw that she had a dignified temperament, although she was dressed simply.
Yet, there was an elegance in her every gesture that was hard to ignore, and I secretly admired her in my heart.
Then he exchanged a few polite words and left.
Fang Qingyue continued to stroll along the path, thinking rapidly about Liu Yunyun's intentions for the day.
Hua Yan appeared calm on the surface, but she knew that Liu Yunyun would never give up.
She sneered in her heart. She wanted to see how Liu Yunyun would respond in today's "Hongmen Banquet".
Sure enough, not long after, Liu Yunyun slowly walked out of an elegant pavilion.
She was wearing a gorgeous red embroidered long dress, and her exquisite makeup made her look beautiful and charming.
As soon as she saw Fang Qingyue, a cold light flashed in her eyes.
But there was a fake smile on the corner of her mouth, as if everything was under her control today.
"Oh, sister!" Liu Yunyun shouted in surprise, as if she had just discovered Fang Qingyue's existence.
She walked quickly to Fang Qingyue's side, her tone warm but with a hint of provocation, "Sister, you are here as expected. I was just wondering if you had something urgent to do and couldn't come."
Fang Qingyue looked at Liu Yunyun's hypocritical appearance and had already seen through her intentions.
But he remained calm and replied calmly: "Sister Liu invited me so kindly, I naturally can't refuse."
Liu Yunyun's smile froze slightly, and a hint of anger flashed in her eyes, but she quickly returned to normal.
She looked carefully at Fang Qingyue's plain dress, and felt a little jealous.
How dare the daughter of a guilty minister be so calm and composed!
She smiled lightly and pretended to be concerned: "Sister, you are dressed very uniquely today, simple and elegant."
"However, today's occasion is filled with noble ladies from the capital."
"My sister is so plain and elegant, I'm afraid she'll be easily overlooked."
Fang Qingyue heard the sarcasm in Liu Yunyun's words.
But he was not moved at all, and replied with a faint smile: "Sister Liu, you are worrying too much. I have always liked to be simple and plain, and I feel more comfortable this way."
"I came here today only to respond to Sister Liu's invitation, not to compete for beauty."
Liu Yunyun was speechless for a moment. Seeing that Fang Qingyue was neither humble nor arrogant, she had nothing to say, and she became even more unhappy.
She gritted her teeth and still pretended to be affectionate and said, "Since my sister is here, why don't you come to my boudoir and sit down, and we can have a good chat."
"There are so many people here, I'm afraid it's not convenient to talk."
Fang Qingyue's heart moved, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.
Liu Yunyun deliberately led him to the boudoir, which must have been a bad intention.
If she had really agreed to go, she would probably have fallen into the trap set by Liu Yunyun.
She remained expressionless and smiled gently, "I appreciate Sister Liu's kindness."
"But I'm pregnant now, so it's inconvenient for me to stay outside for long. I'm afraid I'll have to say goodbye later."
Liu Yunyun's smile froze for a moment, then quickly returned to her hypocritical and affectionate look.
She secretly hated Fang Qingyue's calmness and composure, but she couldn't show it in public.
She feigned a smile and pressed on, "Sister, you're too kind. We sisters haven't had a good chat in years. I'm really happy that you can come today."
"Since you can't stay long, why don't you come to my room and sit for a while.
"Have a cup of tea to relieve your fatigue, and let me show my hospitality."
Fang Qingyue sneered in her heart, knowing that she must have bad intentions, but still maintained a calm appearance.
She slowly shook her head and said softly, "Qingyue appreciates Sister Liu's kindness."
"I'm just a little tired. I'm afraid I can't stay long today."
Seeing that Fang Qingyue refused to budge, Liu Yunyun grew increasingly angry, but she still refused to let her go easily.
Her heart moved, and a calculation flashed in her eyes.
Liu Yunyun said loudly: "Oh, the sisters are all here. It's a good opportunity for you all to come and meet my good sister."
After saying that, several noble ladies came from under the pavilion corridor.
They were all sisters that Liu Yunyun was on good terms with. They were all dressed in luxurious clothes and behaved elegantly, but the contempt and secret rivalry in their eyes were obvious.
