Chapter 59: The Unwelcome Guest
Suburban Manor.
This manor was gifted as a dowry to the Lady of Zhen Guo household, Su Miaolan's mother. In the future, this manor would be Su Miaolan's dowry. The surrounding hills were covered in wildflowers, and many women of nobility sat comfortably on the ground. The small tables set before them presented exquisite pastries and delicacies.
Nearby, there was a rock garden pavilion where a number of youths were invited to lounge. The rules here were very lenient, as long as its visitors did not cause too much ruckus.
At this moment, a maiden wearing a 'hundred flowers' embroidered skirt turned to the girl beside her and quietly whispered, "Zhang Princess [note] Zhang Princess is a title for a girl named Gong Han Yue, much like the Chaoyang Princess is a title for Gong Yi Mo [/note], I heard... that Gong Yi Mo will be coming here today."
The Zhang Princess Gong Han Yue raised her brow and looked at the girl beside her. She snorted. "What is she, an ordinary citizen, doing here?"
Although it wasn't obvious on the surface, Princess Zhang was actually very worried. She did not want to meet that formerly favored princess.
The scene in front of her made Liu Qinqing grind her teeth in annoyance!
But after coming to the present scene, she smiled in satisfaction. The girl Liu Qingqing resented was currently obstructed at the mansion entrance, without any permission to pass through.
At this time, Gong Yi Mo stood by the entrance without losing her temper. She only said with a calm and commanding voice, "I'll count to three. If you don't let me in, I will leave immediately."
To women in the kingdom, attending banquets was a way to boast of their status while building relationships with those hosting the gathering. To Gong Yi Mo, however, this kind of social gathering was useless in her eyes. Moreover, she didn't even like the extravagant feasts held in the palace, let alone this kind of little girl's private feast.
The former princess' words were spoken so surely it was difficult to doubt. Liu Qingqing had insisted earlier to block her path to make things difficult. But if she doesn't join the party, will Liu Qingqing and the group be blamed?
A servant quickly reported the matters to the banquet's host. Su Maiolan originally wanted to watch the fun, but if Gong Yi Mo didn't come in, what fun was there to watch? After considering these things, Su Miaolan ignored the displeasure of others and personally came to the entrance in a low profile.
Gong Yi Mo laid her eyes on this familiar face with indifference. She smiled coldly and entered through the gate.
And since Su Miaolan had introduced a commoner like this, it was undoubtedly the same as setting her to burn on a fire. Her intentions were completely malicious.
But what does it matter?
