3345 No Regrets?
"Besides, isn't there a theater building in the garden? We can go up to the theater building and watch their competition from afar. What's wrong with that?"
"We are all children of noble families, much more open-minded and generous than those official's daughters. Where do all these restrictive rules come from?"
"Oh, are the young masters competing in front of the Elegant Music Pavilion?" There was indeed a large open space in front of the Elegant Music Pavilion. It wouldn't be out of place for the young masters, if bored, to set up targets and compete in archery.
Lady Luo smiled and nodded, "That's the place."
The group of young ladies in the garden had already been persuaded by Lady Luo. One by one, they quickly nodded, "Fifth Miss, why don't we go?"
"It's too boring to be idle for over an hour. We'll just go to the theater building and watch. With such a distance, what could possibly happen?"
"Good, good!" Everyone agreed in unison. They seemed to have thought of something, as expressions of longing appeared on their young faces.
Lady Luo covered her lips with her handkerchief, secretly chuckling in her heart: They're all young girls eager for romance.
"Crown Princess, what do you think?" Mu Rouqin turned to ask the little Crown Princess.
"No interest." These three words from the little Crown Princess were like a bucket of cold water, poured over everyone from head to toe.
The excited chatter of the young girls suddenly vanished...
Not only did Lady Luo roll her eyes in exasperation, but even Mu Lixiang and Mu Yuanyuan, who were eager to please and befriend the little Crown Princess, couldn't help but feel a reluctance to continue interacting with her.
The little Crown Princess frowned, clearly feeling the atmosphere around her shift from lively to cold...
How inexplicable! These women are always like this; they talk for a bit and then don't want to talk to her anymore.
If they don't want to talk, then don't. She doesn't want to waste her breath on them anyway, hmph!
Mu Rouqin coughed lightly and said, "Since the Crown Princess isn't interested, you all go ahead. I'm not very interested either, so I'll stay here and chat with the Crown Princess."
Everyone immediately looked at each other.
The Eldest Miss of the Mu family's main branch had left in a huff. Only the direct descendant, Fifth Miss, remained as the host. If the host wasn't moving, how could they, a group of guests, brazenly run off to someone else's theater building?
Lady Luo's eyes flickered, then she suddenly smiled, "Fifth Miss is truly joking. If you, as the host, don't go, these young ladies naturally wouldn't dare to go either."
She turned to the little Crown Princess and said cheerfully, "Although the Crown Princess isn't very keen, why not join everyone and take a look? Perhaps you might even see something interesting?"
"A bunch of idiots shooting arrows at a target, what could be interesting about that?" the little Crown Princess said expressionlessly.
Everyone...
What's going on? Why do we so desperately want to get rid of this mood-killer?
Lady Luo felt her teeth itch with anger, wishing she could pounce and bite a chunk out of the little girl.
Why must her words be so infuriating?
If the main person wouldn't go, the plan couldn't proceed.
She wrung the handkerchief in her hand and couldn't help but try to persuade her again, "When I just arrived, I saw His Highness was also over there."
Qiaomu smiled faintly, turning to look at her, scrutinizing her from head to toe. "Do you really want me to go? Don't regret it now."
Lady Luo shivered for no apparent reason, feeling as though the Crown Princess's two clear eyes were like icy beads, piercing her bones, inexplicably making her feel a chilling coldness deep in her heart.
Why does it suddenly feel a bit terrifying...?
