Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower
Chapter 84 - It’s Getting Livelier (2)

The two children sneaked outside. They were acting very careful and made sure that the guards didn't catch them. But of course, Hou Liang was tailing them while grumbling internally, saying that these two brats were definitely here to create trouble and not to rest.

They reached near the entrance and the twins climbed trees. Since it was spring, the trees were filled with leaves that they could use to cover their body and hide.

"Shangguan Family is here!"

"Miss, the Abbot told us that they'll arrange a place for us in the Western Quarter."

"Western Quarter?" A sonorous voice sounded out of the carriage. As the door opened, a breathtaking figure slowly descended down. Dressed in peach dresses, the figure looked like a fairy that descended from the Heaven. She had fair skin and rosy lips while her eyebrows were drawn like willow leaves.

It was hard to imagine someone so beautiful could exist.

Her hair ornaments were all red in color, which gave stark contrast to her black hair. She looked at the group in front of her as her eyebrows furrowed. "You're saying that we're not given the best Eastern Courtyard, why?"

"First Miss, the Eastern Courtyard is given to Imperial Princess Yue," the servant answered while trembling.

"Princess Yue!" The first miss of Shangguan Family, Shangguan Die, bit her lower lips. Her dark eyes blazed in fury at the mere mention of that princess. "So you're saying that she didn't even want to let anyone stay in Eastern Courtyard?"

Nan Hua listened from a far and finally understood why the abandoned Southern Courtyard was opened once more. It was precisely because Princess Yue had taken all the space in Eastern Courtyard. The others had no other choice but to stay either in Western Courtyard or in Southern Courtyard.

Nan Hua and Nan Luo refused to stay near Concubine Qu, so their only option was to stay in the Southern Courtyard.

Their neighbors so far were lower ranked nobles whose father was only low ranked official. They were all not that important compared to their father and grandfather but since they still have some status, they could stay in Yi Shang Temple during this period of time.

"First Young Miss… Imperial Princess Yue didn't want you to stay in the same courtyard as her." The servant was trembling so badly that it looked as if there was an earthquake.

Shangguan Die was feeling absolutely pissed off. She wanted the best area in Eastern Courtyard and not the slightly inferior Western Courtyard. Even though the difference was small, it was still a humiliation for her!

How could someone like her, who was very beautiful and had high status would be willing to be trampled?

So what if the other party was a princess? She didn't care in the slightest bit!

"Please tell Princess Yue that Shangguan Family First Miss wants to meet with her!" Shangguan Die refused to let this matter rest.

The servants were trembling and bowed, saying that they would do as she said.

"Oh my, you don't have to call for me. I'm already here."

They all turned their attention to the other side. A young lady was standing there, cladded in beautiful purple dress. Her skin was even fairer than Shangguan Die, but her countenance definitely couldn't match against Shangguan Die, who was acclaimed as peerless beauty.

Sharp eyebrows, thin chin, and naturally fair skin, Princess Yue was still one of the prettiest women in Fei Yang Kingdom.

Right now, Shangguan Die was 13 years old while Princess Yue was 14 years old, and yet their beauty often being the talk of the people aside from wars. After all, there was no remarkable big war recently and people needed gossips.

These were the perfect material for that.

"This servant greets Your Highness, Imperial Princess Yue." The servants quickly bowed down to greet Princess Yue.

Shangguan Die also bowed down. No matter how indignant she was, she couldn't possibly slight the Imperial Princess. "Shangguan Die, First Miss of Shangguan Family greets Imperial Princess Yue."

Another young girl, who had just alighted from the carriage quickly greeted too, "Shangguan Mi, Second Miss of Shangguan Family greets Imperial Princess Yue."

Shangguan Mi had different status from her sister, mainly because she was of concubine born. Being a year younger than her sister, she was often forgotten. Her beauty couldn't be compared to her older sister, so her presence seemed to have disappeared from people's mind.

Even now, no one paid any attention to her.

Princess Yue looked at Shangguan Die and her lips curled up to form a contemptuous smile. "The Eastern Courtyard is just at such size, so there's no place to fit more dogs who are coming to stay there."

Dogs?

Shangguan Die's eyes turned red, yet she didn't dare to rise up. She knew very well that Princess Yue was purposely looking down on her but there was nothing that she could do. How could she bear with this grievances?

"Your Highness, the Eastern Courtyard is big, how could it not fit another lady?" Shangguan Die asked.

"There are already another entourage whom I picked to stay in the same courtyard with me. As the saying goes, beautiful flower should be put close to be admired while poisonous one should be put away to not tarnish the picture." Princess Yue smiled brightly.

Who said that?

Shangguan Die resisted the urge to stand up and slap the princess in front of her. Her voice trembled due to rage. "Does the Imperial Princess didn't want to give face to Shangguan Family?"

"Giving face?" Princess Yue laughed. She looked at Shangguan Die mockingly. "It's not like I don't want to give face, but the rooms are all full. It's not like I can possibly give the honorable daughter of Shangguan Family the servants room, right?"

The two girls were going on and on with their battle. All the time, Princess Yue still didn't give any permission for the group in front of her to rise, so they could only kneel on the ground.

"Tsk, their tongues are so poisonous.." Nan Luo clicked his tongue.
