Hypocrite bees all over them

The County Princess Manor was decorated with many different types of flower all over. The Manor was been filled with the younger generation of the most prominent households in the capital. Young misses wore their best dresses while the young masters appreciate them as if they were flower themselves.

The flower banquet was like a big blind date. The guests would always try to be in their prime and bring some kind of exciting performance so that it could attract the attention of the opposite sex.

"Have you heard? The princes will be coming!"

"Oh I didn't know! What a coincidence to think I prepared a song in the guqin to perform"

"You are truly lucky! Who doesn't know that the second prince loves guqin. You can probably attract his attention by then"

"Don't talk nonsense"

Even if denying the girl opened a bright smile filled with expectations.

Talks like that we're repeating itself in many other groups. The prospects of becoming a Princess burned the determination inside of each girl. But of course it would have the exceptions to the rule.

Ming Yunning snorted after listening to the closest girl group hypocritical conversation. All of them wanted to be a Wangfei but put a modest look and denied their desires. Even if they are trying to look reserved they should first put the burning desire in their eyes, it would at least seem convincing.

"If I knew the princes would come I wouldn't train so hard"

Yunning pouted and Ming Meili nodded in agreement which caused a funny look from their big sister.

"Don't you want to be a Wangfei?"

"No"

Both of them answered at the same time without hesitation.

"...why?"

"Too much trouble"

"Don't want to be troubled by the royal rules"

Ming Shu could only shook her head at her sisters lazy statement. If the other ladies knew of their thoughts, they would probably be drown in spit in seconds. But truth be told she agree with them too. As a former Wangfei and Empress she knew how demanding was for someone to have these titles and wasn't willing on have them again.

"Ming Shu you're here!"

Mo Meihui quickly came closer to the Ming Sisters in a happy pace. She really abhorred such occasions I'm which every one had wear a fake mask of a generous and virtuous white flower. Her straightforward character unbaked her of performing like the other misses and her find her friend amidst the crowd of fake white flowers was her salvation.

"Meihui-jie long time no see"

"Hey Xiao Yun you are as cute as ever. I see even Meihui came today"

"Please keep your hands to yourself"

Ming Shu slapped the hand Mo Meihui extended to touch the head of the younger girls"

"Ouch! Now I know why your cousins call you little tigress. You are unnecessarily strong. If you keep this way you will never find a husband"

Ming Shu only rolled her eyes and ignored her friend. It's not like she was the one to talk. Her friend's demeanor was not less disdained by the high society as an improper wife's behavior than her persistence in martial arts. But it's not like either of them cared about this. They had an absolute confidence in find a husband that would suit their taste and not otherwise.

"You still worry about yourself"

The four turned and bowed to the incoming person.

"Your Highness"

"You're excluded like this every time. The two little girls are seriously affected by you two"

Princess Jinghua made a disdained face to Ming Shu and Mo Meihui. But both of them just expressionlessly looked at her.

"You're absolutely right Your Highness, so why don't you go and socialize with other groups... for example that one? I'm sure that you will find their presence much more delightful than ours since you love socializing so much"

Mo Meihui emphasized the word love.

Without even change her face Zhao Jinghua answered her.

"This Princess pity you so she will grant you the favor of accompanying me for the day"

Mo Meihui rolled her eyes. Roll you, you obviously dislike them and still make it so grand.

Seeing that Mo Meihui and Zhao Jinghua would open their bickering mode Yunning quickly intervened.

"Why don't we go appreciate the flowers while the banquet doesn't begin?"

Seeing that she attracted the two troublemakers attention she continued.

"I heard this year the County Princess made a few themed gardens that are sure to inspire many poems"

"Great idea Meimei! Why don't we invite some other people otherwise it would be too impolite of us me roaming around with Her Higness like that right?"

Ming Shu agreed with Ming Yunning without thinking. Just now she saw that both Zhao Song and the Miss from the Xiao family were led to the planned place. Counting time, it was probably enough for them to be familiar now.

She didn't know how Si Yifeng attracted both of them to the same place but she was sure that Zhao Song, even with suspicion, would still utilize this situation to approach the little Miss. Ming Shu only prayed that the girl wouldn't foolish believe the royal liar and fell in love with him just like she did in the pass.

Even when using others, Ming Shu would certainly protect the innocent ones. If a dispute broke out today the Elders of Angola family would only pass as a youngsters' dispute and wouldn't meddle with it. Depending on the following actions made by the Xiao Miss she will either help her or ignore her. Either way she won't move against the other party.

The other four thought it was weird for Ming Shu to proactively seek other but agree nonetheless. Big deal, they would just ignore them if they were like unsightly bees.

Seeing the agreement, Ming Shu found the other necessary witnesses and led to the garden with a big smile.

'This will be a nice play'
