As Meihua entered, among all the apprehensive gazes she noticed a pair of eyes fixed their gaze upon her .The gaze was neither friendly nor hostile; it was clearly observing her. she waited for him to conclude his observation when, the gaze abruptly shifted away from her. she was amused. she was now kind of curious what conclusion he had drawn as she seated herself among the rows of seats, she observed the little ones for their reaction. Hao and Xinyi seemed to be looking curiously like little chicks out of a newly cracked eggshell.
Lin Wen seemed to be observing the situation, but he seemed to be utterly confused especially after looking at a group of women who had painted themselves white with heaps of powder caked on their faces. He shuddered at the side'' how does that even happen'' Meihua couldn't help but smile at his reaction She could barely hold her giggles as she noticed someone boring a hole in her She was staring so intently that Meihua had to look back.
''Greetings I am Fan Xin'' She spoke as Meihua replied in response. she wasn't the least bit interested but when she saw that friendly and curious expression, she couldn't help but soften. as the little ones went ahead with their peers, she was left to listen to Fan Xin chatter away. She liked her inexpressible in the words cute and maybe a little fun as she was so easy to tease.'' my the effort, how diligent you are'' she replied to how Fan Xin had recited her process of getting ready for the banquet. Fan Xin turned a little red and slightly embarrassed at the comment, clearly pleased. Meihua liked this girl even more. all the lively expressions she's showed left her smiling. she had made a very fluffy friend. one she could only compare to a Bunny.
Fan Xin too had been glad she had made a friend the other young ladies had been friendly, but she found Meihua quite enchanting and maybe a little bashful too. It seems she had made friends with sly and indulgent one. Besides she could only barely focus with the other ladies.
she found it uncomfortable to always have to listen to comments attempted to put the other down and need to constantly stay on one's toes. with Meihua it was simply comfortable.
the crowd unanimously rose as the emperor's entry was announced. they all bowed as the emperor took his seat as the banquet resumed his eyes stared started looking for Meihua. He had long wanted to steal that girl away from the Prime Minister He even wondered why she wasn't his daughter sometimes. but no worries he had found a way. What were his useless son's for of course to rob the Prime Minister. he finally found her, but he noticed another lady too.
he smiled to himself as he signaled to Eunuch Gao. Soon a message was brought to Meihua as expected an invitation had come from the one above, only that he also wanted to meet the little ones that she cherished so much. what was truly unexpected was that the invitation was also extended to Fan Xin her newest subject of entertainment.
Fan Xin seemed extremely flustered at the unexpected invitation
