Life-changed Princess

Gu Hua Jing's perfunctory smile couldn't be forced out. Shen Li Xuan's attitude was too sincere. As the son of the Marquis Ning family, his attitude was so low and modest that even the girl behind him couldn't bear to show her face.

Thus, Gu Hua Jing sat back down. It should be okay if she didn't hide, right? The scenery here was indeed beautiful. It would be the same if there was one more person and he didn't even exist.

At the side, Shen Lixuan's thoughts went back and forth a hundred times. He really didn't understand why Gu Huaji would have such an attitude.

She had just met the Bai Clan and Li Jun, and was suffering from the pain of gossip. Although she didn't seem to care, how many women would really mind?

Wasn't she supposed to be happy that he, the crown prince of Marquis Ning's estate, was so close to her? No matter what, he still had a slight advantage over Bai Lingtian!

The two of them admiring the scenery in silence was not Shen Li Xuan's original intention. He looked at the time. At this moment, the Orchid Garden should be bustling with noise and excitement.

"Miss Gu, since you have this hibiscus, why don't you go to the Orchid Garden to take a look?"

Gu Hua Jing touched the hibiscus flowers in her hair and smiled faintly, "Why are you going?"

"The Hibiscus Mutabilis Flower is the most honorable flower in the hairpin feast. Whoever the main family gives the flower to, that person will definitely become an honored guest at the hairpin feast. Look, if it wasn't for Marquis Ning's medallion, I wouldn't be able to get close to you."

So it was like this? Like Gu Hua Jing said, many people's eyes were clearly eager to give it a try, but they couldn't bear it. Was it because of the Hibiscus Mutabilis?

"Now is the time for the talented ladies of the Orchid Garden to show off their talents. Since you wear the hibiscus, you can ask those girls to show off their talents as you wish. The hibiscus flower in your hand can be gifted to you."

"…" Are you for real? Gu Hua Jing's expression stiffened for a moment. Usually, this kind of right should be relied on, right? Why was Madam He …

Gu Hua Jing couldn't help but ask, "What if, what if I didn't give the flower away?"

Shen Lixuan smiled innocently, "That is only human nature. I also feel that Miss Gu is the most qualified person to take this hibiscus."

"…!" Gu Hua Jing cleared her throat and calmly stood up, but her feet moved like the wind, "Let's go to the Orchid Garden."

A faint fragrance drifted past Shen Lixuan's nose. He concentrated his mind to smell it, but was unable to do so.

Shaking his fan, Shen Lixuan slowly followed behind Gu Hua Jing. How come she didn't notice her own praise?

He had said that Gu Hua Jing was the most qualified person to obtain Hibiscus, but he had spoken from the bottom of his heart.

When she arrived at the entrance of the orchid garden, she could already hear the sound of a bamboo shoot.

Walking in, there were quite a few people gathered around a pavilion, and one of them was a young lady playing a zither.

The zither music was ethereal and long, moving the hearts of many men. Many of the men had expressions that seemed as if they were drunk on it.

Gu Hua Jing felt that the girl looked familiar, so she thought about it. She had indeed met her before. The Fang Wan Xin that her second sister-in-law spoke of as an expert in calligraphy and calligraphy was indeed a talented girl!

When the song was over, Fang Wanxin retracted her hand as if the music was still lingering in the air. Many people still had intoxicated looks in their eyes.

Without even thinking about it, Gu Hua Jing plucked the hibiscus flower from her bun and headed straight for the pavilion.

She was a talented girl, yet she played the zither so well. The key point was that she was truly beautiful.

Fang Wan Xin raised her head and looked at Gu Hua Jing, who was walking towards her, with a surprised look in her eyes.

"Lady Fang, you are truly talented. Please accept this Hibiscus hibiscus."

Envy from all around was being directed at Fang Wanxin. If she was able to defeat the Hibiscus Mutabilis at this moment, then she would surely become the focus of attention.

To be able to marry a Hibiscus Courtesan Belle at a hairpin party was a great temptation to men.

Fang Wan Xin looked fixedly at Gu Hua Jing. Gu Hua Jing's smile was gentle and amiable, without the slightest flaw.

"Why didn't Miss Fang take it?" Do you think that this little girl is not qualified to give you the Hibiscus Mutabilis? "

Gu Hua Jing's voice was low, so only the two of them could hear.

Just as she finished speaking, Fang Wanxin received the flower with her fair hands.

With nothing in her hands, Gu Hua Jing immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, if it weren't for Shen Li Xuan, she reckoned that he would have worn this Hibiscus until the end …

With this thought, Gu Hua Jing's repulsion towards Shen Li Xuan lessened a little, but she was grateful to Fang Wan Xin.

Only such an outstanding person would be able to get the Hibiscus Mutabilis to leave in good faith.

"Miss Fang is really beautiful and kind. It'll be an honor for whoever marries her in the future!"

Gu Hua Jing's attitude was sincere and she couldn't wait to use the best words to praise him. Fang Wan Xin bit her lips as a blush appeared on her face.

Gu Hua Jing's eyes went straight to the point. What a beauty! When she was shy and timid, her beauty was raised by several levels.

No wonder people always said that beauties were good for eating. Now that she looked at Fang Wan Xin, Gu Hua Jing felt like she was going to drool at any moment.

Qingmei, who was good at observing words and expressions, immediately pulled him aside when she noticed something wrong with his gaze.

"Miss, there's still a young lady behind you who wants to show off her talent …"

Gu Hua Jing's eyes were bright as she stared at Fang Wanxin. She walked to the side in a smooth manner.

Sure enough, there were other women who walked out behind him. Some were singing, some were arguing, and some were playing on their zither while others were painting.

However, it seemed that everyone wasn't as enthusiastic as they were just now. Perhaps it was because the Hibiscus Mutabilis had already taken control of the flowers.

"Miss Gu seems to be different from what I imagined."

Gu Hua Jing turned around. Fang Wan Xin's expression was a little pale, and she didn't care about the burning gazes around her. She walked to her side and stood there.

The closer they got, the more beautiful they were. Gu Hua Jing's eyes were shining, and the smile at the corner of her mouth was unconsciously fawning on her.

"Is that so? "Then what did Miss Fang think I would be like?"

"Stubborn, biased, stubborn."

"Ugh …"

The words that came out of the beauty's mouth without any hesitation made Gu Hua Jing slightly sad. However, if she were to describe the Gu Hua Jing of the past, her words would have been even more intense.

With this thought in mind, Fang Wanxin was already showing mercy.

"I wanted to see just how stupid the legendary Fourth Miss Gu is, but I didn't expect to see such a person."

Fang Wanxin turned her head leisurely and asked, "Then is the previous rumor not true?"

This... Gu Hua Jing also wanted to deny it, but she was the one who did those things.

She could only smile awkwardly, "There are always times when people get out of hand. I can wake up in time and I'm not that stupid, right?"

To everyone's surprise, Fang Wanxin actually covered her mouth and laughed. Her smile was filled with warmth, as if it was the first snow in winter, causing their eyes to light up.

A beauty is indeed beautiful … Gu Hua Jing couldn't hold back her laughter. Her eyebrows were clear and bright, as sweet and beautiful as white snow in the middle of spring.

The two of them stood aside, attracting countless gazes. At this moment, the two of them looked at each other and smiled. It was as if they were radiating light, condensing the beauty of the entire orchid garden.

Fang Wanxin had many close friends, so she quickly left Gu Hua Jing's side. Gu Hua Jing was already very satisfied with her beauty, so she planned to find a place to enjoy the scenery.

However, just as she moved her feet, there was already a person standing in front of her.

Gu Hua Jing had thought that some girls who disliked her would come to cause trouble, but she didn't expect it to be a man.

It was also true that Madam He had given the Hibiscus to him. If there were still people who wanted to cause trouble, they would not give the Residence of He any face. He had worried too much.

But what did this man mean?

"Miss Gu, I'm Tang Qian. Greetings, Miss."

Tang Qian bowed and raised his head with a warm smile on his face. "I've heard that Miss Gu is extremely talented, especially in poetry. I wonder if I can discuss it with you?"

Tang Qian's well-mannered words were automatically translated in Gu Hua Jing's mind: "Can we talk about cultivating feelings?"

Gu Hua Jing immediately smiled politely, "Young Master Tang is too kind. This little girl will not be ugly. That young lady over there is currently writing a poem. If Young Master Tang is interested, you can take a look."

"Miss Gu, there's no need to be modest. You were once one of the four great talents of the capital, so why belittle yourself?"

"This is different from the past. If Young Master Tang has no other matters, then this little girl will take her leave first."

From start to finish, a smile had been hung on Gu Hua Jing's face. She was not lacking in manners, but distant.

Tang Qian still wanted to say something, but Gu Hua Jing had already bypassed him. In his eyes, there was a tinge of regret. If it weren't for the Bai family's matter, Gu Hua Jing was so reserved and beautiful. He was really willing to beg his mother to marry her back.

Having solved the big problem in her hands, Gu Hua Jing felt very relaxed.

She could feel Madam He's good intentions and thus gave herself the status of an honored guest to avoid the intrusion of rumors.

But why did some people always move closer to him?

Gu Hua Jing stopped. Not far away from her, Shen Li Xuan stood at attention, smiling at her like a spring breeze.

This couldn't even be described as a coincidence. The frequency at which Shen Lixuan appeared was simply too high. Even if Gu Huaxin wanted to pretend she didn't know what he was thinking, she wouldn't be able to do it.

She closed her eyes and the smile on her lips gradually disappeared. Her beautiful cherry-like lips slightly pursed as she calmly walked over.

"Miss Gu and that hibiscus are very compatible, why did she give it to someone else? This humble one feels that Miss Gu is the most suitable person for her. "

"Is that so?"

Gu Hua Jing raised an eyebrow, "Young master Shen, could I have a word with you?"

Shen Li Xuan didn't know why, but he felt his heartbeat quicken. With a calm expression, he pushed the servant behind him away and made a "please" gesture.

Qing Mei and Greenwood did not follow her, but they did not think that Young Miss wanted to show their admiration towards Young Master Shen.

In fact, when Miss saw Young Master Shen, the smile on her face wasn't as sincere as when she saw Miss Fang …

"Miss Gu, if you have something to say, please say it. This one will definitely listen attentively."

Gu Hua Jing nodded, "Then, this little girl will not beat around the bush. Does Young Master Shen like me?" You want to pursue me? You want to marry me? "

Shen Lixuan's breath was stuck in his throat, and his face contorted.

He didn't think that Gu Hua Jing would actually be so straightforward. This, this shouldn't be, where would a woman suddenly say such things?
