Time passed quickly, and the Hundred Flowers Banquet hosted by Princess Li soon began.

In addition to the ladies of each family, young boys and girls of appropriate age were also invited.

When Nangong Yuan and his men arrived, the villa was already very lively.

"Miss Nangong, please come in."

After following the servant who led the way into the villa, Nangong Yuan discovered that this place was built very beautifully.

Prince Li is the emperor's eldest son, older than the other princes, and has been married for two years.

"This is your seat, please sit down, girl."

Nangong Yuan nodded slightly and sat down.

As soon as she arrived, the noisy noises around her became much quieter.

In fact, it is normal. Nangong Yuan knows that this is because of Gu Zian.

The prime minister was young and had a face that was loved by both men and women. In addition, he held a high position and had great power. Eight out of ten young girls in Kyoto wanted to marry him.

It was obvious how hard it was for Nangong Yuan to put in so much effort when she conquered the city.

Now that the two families have called off the engagement, some people are watching the joke, while others are thinking of marrying the prime minister.

"Oh, I heard that the Prime Minister is coming today."

"Really? That's a bit embarrassing." He looked at Nangong Yuan thoughtfully.

But Nangong Yuan didn't care at all. She drank her herbal tea and thought she was here to eat for free.

"Out of nowhere, the Prime Minister actually proposed to cancel the engagement. I don't know what happened..."

A round-faced woman covered her lips and smiled: "Who knows, but it's all in the past."

They talked in low voices here, looking at the door from time to time.

Not long after, Gu Zian really came.

"Meet Princess Li."

Princess Li was beautiful. She waved her hand and said, "Zi'an is here. It's just right. You are the celebrity of our flower banquet today."

Everyone was eagerly waiting for him to express his opinion.

There are many people in the capital who are eyeing the position of Prime Minister's wife.

Although he has broken off the engagement with Nangong Yuan, it is not up to him to make the decision.

Someone silently glanced at Nangong Yuan to see her reaction, but Nangong Yuan was concentrating on eating without even raising her head.

She got up late and didn't have time to eat breakfast, so she was a little hungry at the moment.

"Miss Nangong, why didn't you ask about the Prime Minister when he came? Even if the engagement was cancelled, we still have a friendship." Chen Huai, the daughter of the Minister of War, spoke up not far away.

Hearing this, everyone's eyes fell on her.

Nangong Yuan finished her meal and drank a sip of tea, then said, "The Prime Minister has come here specially to pay a visit to the princess. Wouldn't it be rude of me to speak rashly?"

She tilted her head and smiled: "Miss Chen is very attentive. There are so many people at the banquet, but I only saw the Prime Minister."

Chen Huai's face turned red, her thoughts were pointed out openly, and with her lover beside her, she didn't want to appear too harsh.

So he covered his handkerchief and said, "I was just talking."

Seeing this, Gu Zian took a few steps forward and said to Nangong Yuan, "There are still some keepsakes in the mansion. I'll have someone send them back in a few days."

"it is good."

After saying this, the two of them looked at each other and neither spoke.

Nangong Yuan had nothing to say. She and Gu Zian had very different personalities, and she had to work hard to find any common ground.

It’s not a pleasant feeling to always cater to others. Now that she is far away from them, she doesn’t even know how to start a conversation.

But Gu Zian didn't know how to start.

He heard the rumors a few days ago, so he made a point to clarify them.

But now it seems that the impact on Nangong Yuan is still great.

Even at today's flower banquet, some people made a fuss about this.

"Don't worry about the rumors."

Nangong Yuan said: "It's just a rumor. If I care about it, it will seem like I have lost."

Hearing this, Gu Zian looked at her for a moment and said, "You seem to be a little different from before."

"No, I've always been like this." I was just pretending before.

There were many people around, so Gu Zian just said a few words and went to the men's side.

Tao Zhu rolled his eyes when he saw this: "Tsk, why are you coming here now, as if no one needs you."

Even though he knew that the young lady liked him, Yao still resolutely broke off the engagement.

He knew that she was being criticized, but he still came here to act hypocritical.

Nangong Yuan laughed when he heard this: "It's not anyone's fault, he is just like that."

He was efficient and clean when it came to handling matters in the court, but when it came to human relationships and social conventions, he was a little confused.

Without anything exciting to watch, the rest of the people looked for someone to talk to or went out to admire the flowers.

"Come on, let's go for a walk."

The spring scenery is at its best, and it would be a waste if we don’t go now.

Tao Zhu held an umbrella for her and the two of them walked around the villa.

Before I finished my walk, I saw a few people gathered in the distance.

"You are a woman from a low-ranking official family, and you dare to snatch my flower order!"

A calm woman on the opposite side said, "Whoever wins the flower order will own it. I have never heard of this before. Whoever says it belongs to you, it belongs to you."

Nangong Yuan stood in the distance and watched, without going forward.

"What's your attitude!"

The woman sneered and threw the flower order away: "If you want it, I'll give it to you!"

There happened to be a small lake nearby, and Hua Ling sank immediately after falling into it.

"Oops, my hand slipped accidentally, you want to go in and get it out yourself!"

The girl in the pink skirt looked angry and reached out to hit someone.

The next moment, he was stopped by someone.

"Miss Wang, what are you doing?"

Tao Zhu slightly widened his eyes: "It's the Prime Minister, why would he help for no reason?"

After all, Gu Zian is known for his cold and aloof personality, and he never interferes in girls' affairs.

"Prime Minister?"

Miss Wang was startled, but soon calmed down and said, "The Prime Minister pinched me and it hurt."

Gu Zian loosened his hand upon hearing this, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he looked at her coldly.

"What were you doing just now?"

"Nothing...nothing, just a joke, just a joke."

Gu Zian snorted coldly: "Do you have to slap someone in the face just for joking? How can that make sense?"

He turned his head and said, "Miss Liu, please tell me."

"Oh, it's just that I won a flower order from them, so Miss Wang was a little dissatisfied and wanted to go back."

Seeing this, Gu Zian said coldly: "There are rules for playing, of course. Miss Wang can't afford to play."

"Prime Minister, I...I didn't mean it."

But at this moment, Gu Zian was already too excited and didn't want to listen to anyone's explanation at all.

"Miss Wang is a spoiled girl, and it is normal for her to openly embarrass others. I will have a good talk with your father about how to manage the family and children tomorrow before the court session."

After hearing this, Miss Wang turned pale and was unable to utter a word.

Gu Zian ignored the others and said, "Miss Liu, let's go."

The woman followed Gu Zian as if no one was around.

"Bitch, it's all this bitch's fault!" Miss Wang broke down and cried, her face looking very ugly.

Nangong Yuan, who was far away, laughed when he saw this.
