Appreciation of Flowers Meeting

  Covered Murong Qiang with a quilt, quietly gazing at her sleeping face for a while, before resolutely turning around and leaving.

  When Xiahou Yi left, Murong Qing didn't know. She slept well that night and woke up feeling refreshed and clear-headed, completely forgetting about the events of the previous evening.

  If it wasn't for seeing that thin quilt on the chaise longue in the courtyard, she would have completely forgotten about Xia Houyi's visit yesterday.

  Afterwards, Murong Qing merely furrowed his brow and didn't take it seriously.

  After washing and dressing, Murong Qing led Hong Ye and Lü Xin to the old lady's place for breakfast.

  After breakfast, the servant brought tea and water.

  The old lady took two sips of tea and handed the teacup to Jin Mama beside her, "Qinger, today Rong Wangfu is holding a flower appreciation party, you will attend with me later."

  "Good." Murong Qing smiled and replied.

  At present, Murong Xue is still being held in the Buddhist hall, and only Murong Qing and the two misses, Murong Li and Murong Yan, can go there.

  Murong Yan is the daughter of the second aunt, and she has been in poor health since childhood. In recent days, she was seriously ill, so Murong Qing hasn't seen her for several days either.

  Today, Murong Yan finally showed up, wearing a pale blue silk butterfly-patterned round-neck short shirt, with a milky white scattered flower mist green grass oblique skirt. Together with that delicate and tender face, it's quite pitiful.

  His face was pale and he looked like he would fall down with just a gentle breeze.

  "Second sister, you can go alone. Fourth sister, your body is not well, so don't go out to get some fresh air, wait until you're feeling better and then grandma will take you all out for a walk."

  "Yes, old madam." Murong Yan said softly and gently, but then suddenly started coughing uncontrollably.

  Seeing this, the old lady naturally worried and turned her head to instruct Jin Mama to send someone to take Murong Yan back.

  Afterwards, Old Lady and others tidied up a bit, looked at the time and thought it was about right, then went to Rong's residence together.

  Actually, a banquet like today should have been hosted by the Eldest Madam, but unfortunately, she was locked in the Buddhist hall by the Old Madam and couldn't come out. So in the end, it was the Old Madam who led the two young ladies from the Commander's Manor to the Rong Wangfu.

  When they arrived, Princess Rong personally came to greet them and warmly grasped the old lady's hands, saying: "Mrs. Murong, you're a rare guest, I didn't expect you to come today."

  "The old lady's wife suddenly fell ill, which was just an excuse to come and see the old queen."

  "The empress dowager will surely be delighted when she hears that you've come. Let's go, old lady, I'll accompany you to see the empress dowager first."

  "All right." The old lady smiled faintly and then led Mu Rongqing and the others to follow Rong Qi Wangfei to the backyard.

  Arriving at the backyard, I saw the old princess of Rong's royal mansion. She was an elderly person who looked quite kind and gentle, and had a good relationship with my wife as they were old acquaintances.

  It's rare for the two elderly people to meet, so they naturally have a lot to talk about.

  Murong Qing and the other person accompanied him by his side, but before long, he felt bored.

  After a while, the old queen looked at the slightly awkward Mu Rongqing and smiled, "Old sister, look, we two are so engrossed in reminiscing that we almost forgot about these two little girls. Staying here listening to our chatter must be very boring for you, it's okay, don't just sit there foolishly, the front yard is lively at this time, I'll have someone take you over."

  "It's all right, you can go with Er Ya now. I'll send someone to find you when the banquet is over."

  "Yes, Grandmother." Murong Qing smiled sweetly, bowed and then left with Murong Li.

  She had actually been feeling very bored for a long time, but since the old lady didn't speak up, she couldn't leave either.

  The old queen of Rongqin Wangfu sent someone to take them to the garden in the front yard, and from a distance, someone saw Mu Rongqing and another person.

  "Oh dear, I was wondering who it was, and isn't this our very own infamous Miss Mochou, Murong Qing?"

  Murong Qing furrowed his brow and gave a cold glance.

  All I saw was a lovely girl staring at her sideways, wearing a pale pink embroidered blouse with dark flowers and a light blue silk skirt with auspicious cloud patterns, looking both dazzling and elegant.

  "Who is the grass bag talking about?" Murong Qing smiled sweetly and asked loudly.

  "That's what 'country bumpkin' means." The girl replied hastily.

  Murong Qing burst out laughing, "So the Miss Lin from the Minister's residence is a country bumpkin. Such a big thing happened and I didn't know about it beforehand, the news was really too closed off. But thinking about it, everyone else probably didn't know either, right?"

  The girls around whispered to each other, occasionally pointing at Lin Xiao Yue, and the mocking voices never stopped.

  Lin Xiao Yue suddenly realized that she had been fooled by Murong Qing, and she was furious. She rushed up a few steps and coldly shouted: "How dare you fool me?"

  Murong Qing's smile also converged, she hummed: "What if I'm playing with you? Can't a dignified general's daughter be insulted by you at will?"

  The girl slightly raised her head, and under the sunlight, her face was filled with a proud aura that couldn't be ignored. In an instant, it seemed as if an irresistible momentum burst forth.

  Lin Xiao Yue was stared at by her, and for some reason, she had a feeling as if she was being stared at by a venomous snake, and she couldn't help but take a step back.

  "People don't bother me, I won't bother them. Isn't it good if everyone gets along peacefully?" Murong Qing suddenly smiled and then lightly patted her shoulder with his hand. "Being friends is always better than being enemies, isn't it?"

  "You..."

  "Hmph!" Murong Qing let out a cold snort, proudly raising her small chin and leading Murong Li to the seats on the side.

  After she left, the ladies from the aristocratic families who were closer to Lin Xiao Yue walked up to her. One of them said: "Today's Murong Qing seems a bit strange, even more arrogant, and... that feeling is very weird."

  "A feeling of oppression." Lin Xiao Yue said coldly. That feeling she had only seen on her own father's face before, but why did it appear on a little servant girl?

  None of them didn't know Murong Qing, she was a big fool, and in the past when humiliated by others, she didn't dare to make a sound, an extremely timid person.

  Today, however, it's as if he has become a different person, more radiant and dazzling. Although he is still the same big silly goose, the feeling he gives people is completely different. Just like a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly, he has become perfect.

  It wasn't until then that the young ladies finally understood, and indeed it was that kind of feeling. However, just like Lin Xiao Yue, they couldn't comprehend how someone could change so much in just a few days without being seen.

  At the same time, however, two men narrowed their eyes and gazed intently at Murong Qing, who was sitting not far away eating snacks.

  One stood behind a rockery and another behind an osmanthus tree. Both were outstanding men but with different expressions on their faces.
