Bai Junjun was on stage, cracking melon seeds and occasionally chatting with others.
But it wasn’t long before she felt a sharp gaze continually slashing at her.
Perplexed, Bai Junjun scanned the surroundings and suddenly discovered the exquisitely dressed Flower Goddess on the VIP seating, staring at her with an astounded face.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Caught off-guard by the familiar gaze, Bai Junjun choked and coughed.
Li Wenli took a sip of cow’s milk indifferently and sighed, "You’ve finally noticed."
"???" Bai Junjun looked at Li Wenli in astonishment.
Li Wenli glanced at her profoundly, "About ten minutes ago, the Princess Consort’s eyes, round as copper bells, have been staring over here, and only you, earnestly eating her family’s melon seeds, didn’t notice."
Sure enough, before long, a maidservant who came with Wenren Pingting as part of her dowry approached their platform.
At that time, Ah Fu and Ah Gui did not recognize the identity of the maidservant and thought she was a lady from some elite family.
They got up, somewhat sheepishly, "We’re not sure which lady you are looking for."
Wenren Pingting’s maidservant, Dian Hong, bowed to them and said, "My mistress would like to invite the young lady for a chat tonight. I wonder if the old acquaintance would be willing to accept the invitation."
At that moment, Bai Sasa was somewhat nervous.
She did not recognize Dian Hong, but the courtesy Dian Hong displayed was all too familiar to her.
Such meticulously replicated manners could only come from someone trained by a professional nanny.
Bai Junjun scratched her head, and before she could speak, Dian Hong added, "Please don’t misunderstand, miss, my mistress has just stumbled upon an old friend in a foreign land and harbors some thoughts."
Unexpectedly, Wenren Pingting was able to recognize her in this bustling and noisy environment.
Even if she refused, the Princess Consort would resort to a second method to force her.
Bai Junjun calmly nodded in agreement to the meeting.
Dian Hong smiled knowingly, curtsied at her, and then her eyes fleetingly brushed over Li Wenli. After a cursory bow to Li Wenli, having completed the full set of courtesies, she then left.
Clearly, she had also recognized Li Wenli.
Once Dian Hong left, everyone’s gazes naturally followed her figure, curious to find out to which family this maid belonged.
When they saw Dian Hong walking straight back to the main viewing platform and whispering to Wenren Pingting,
Everyone was stunned.
Miss Little Bear was actually an old acquaintance of the current Princess Consort Hanying?
The dignitaries who had been keeping an eye on the surrounding stands were also taken aback.
None could have fathomed it possible for the Princess Consort’s most trusted maidservant, Miss Dian Hong, to go talk to someone in that shabby booth.
It is said that among these dozen or so platforms were all the distinguished and wealthy people of Ying County. When the Princess Consort arrived yesterday, they had all visited the Prince’s villa to pay their respects.
They felt their status so exalted as to be beyond words, being one of the few in Ying County fortunate enough to be received by the Princess Consort.
But today, they found themselves encountering a group of commoners at the stands, watching the performance alongside these commoners on the platform, which made them feel as though their status was diminished.
However, it was a festive occasion, so they chose not to take it to heart. Yet, at this moment, Miss Dian Hong actually went personally to that platform to speak with those people, even the Princess Consort frequently glanced over there.
The gathering of dignitaries couldn’t help but repeatedly size up the area.
Only then did they notice the two in crimson clothes were quite attractive and did not look like ordinary commoners.
The crowd couldn’t help speculating whether they could be some nobles from the Old Imperial Capital, perhaps in disguise to avoid attracting public attention?
The more they thought about it, the more plausible it seemed, and they became eager to make their acquaintance.
