Princess Mingzhu was slightly stunned, and swallowed the words that came to her mouth, with a look of surprise in her eyes,

Gu Li followed Princess Mingzhu's line of sight, but saw a very beautiful young lady holding a noble lady in a blue satin silk cotton dress was entering the door.

The girl has a delicate flying fairy bun on her head, wearing a fireworks purple cloud fei makeup satin woven colorful flowers and flying butterfly brocade dress, and a light gray purple lotus dark pattern long skirt on the lower body.

And this young lady's face is also extremely beautiful, the pearl-like skin is almost transparent, and it is even more beautiful against the backdrop of a complete set of pearls on her head, as if a fairy in the sky descends to earth, pure and harmless, close and lovely, but there is a smile on the corner of her mouth, which makes her face even more intoxicating.

Several nobles at the scene were attracted by her, and the eyes that fell on her involuntarily began to burn.

In the banquet hall, a whisper sounded almost immediately: "Is this General Shen's daughter?" It doesn't seem like much! ”

"You don't know? This is General Shen's biological daughter, who was taken away when she was a child, and mistakenly replaced the previous Shen Li, oh no, it should be called Gu Li. ”

"Oh, no wonder, this young lady is more like Mrs. Shen's daughter, even more beautiful than Mrs. Shen, it's really a beautiful country."

"I also heard that although this young lady has lived in a poor family since she was a child, she is also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting...... Gu Li, the dignified lady, wields knives and guns like a man. ”

"Yes, I heard that she seems to be quite popular among the nobles of Qianjing, and she has made a lot of friends."

Even Princess Mingzhu subconsciously asked Gu Li: "Is this General Shen's biological daughter?" ”

Gu Li smiled and nodded, and said calmly to Princess Mingzhu: "Yes, she is General Shen's biological daughter, Shen Rou." ”

Gu Li said this, but he muttered in his heart, he couldn't imagine that these two princes were really willing, I don't know how many connections and money they spent to create such a character for Shen Rou, and even whitewashed Shen Rou's reputation.

Just as Gu Li and Princess Mingzhu were looking at Shen Rou, Shen Rou also seemed to be aware of it, turned her head to look at Gu Li, her eyes fell on Princess Mingzhu's body, her eyes lit up, a decent smile appeared on her face, and the lotus step moved lightly, coming in the direction of the two.

The location where Princess Mingzhu and Gu Li are is actually a slightly hidden place, and Shen Rou has so many people's eyes on her, which naturally exposes Princess Mingzhu and Gu Li to everyone's gaze.

Shen Rou didn't look at Gu Li, but bowed gracefully towards Princess Mingzhu and said, "Princess Mingzhu, Fangchen Jile." ”

Princess Mingzhu showed a gentle smile on her face, she didn't expect that General Shen's biological daughter would be so beautiful: "Come up, let me see, huh...... It's really as rumored, beautiful and gentle girl. ”

Princess Mingzhu is celebrating her eighteenth birthday today, and like all people in the royal family, she matures early and speaks a little old.

Shen Rou bowed her head slightly, showing just the right amount of humility and shyness, then raised her head and smiled, and replied generously: "Thank you princess for the compliment." ”

"Okay, you can often come to the princess's mansion to sit when you have time in the future."

The emperor favored Princess Mingzhu, and built a princess's mansion for the princess at the age of sixteen, originally intended to want the princess to recruit a horse as soon as possible, but did not want to, the candidate for the horse was not decided, so that now the princess still lives in the palace, and this princess's mansion is planted by the princess with many strange flowers and plants, whenever the princess is tired of living in the palace, she will ask the emperor to allow her to come to the princess's mansion to live for a few days.

Shen Rou nodded politely and thanked her, and her set of actions was smooth, which was very different from the somewhat unfamiliar salute a month ago.

Shen Rou glanced at Gu Li, nodded and smiled, then took a few steps back before quickly turning around and leaving the two.

Princess Mingzhu looked at Shen Rou's back and said with some emotion: "This Miss Shen is much more polite than when you were in the General's Mansion before." ”

The corners of Gu Li's mouth twitched, she didn't know what kind of virtue she had when she was in the General's Mansion before, and she didn't know if it was good or not?

But at this time, Shen Rou is indeed a bit like the eldest lady of the General's Mansion, people will grow up, Shen Rou has become the second prince in private, so naturally she will not continue to be like that.

Shen Rou walked to Mrs. Shen's side, and soon a young lady called her to the place where a group of young ladies were, and several people gathered around to talk and laugh, and some young ladies also looked in the direction of Gu Li from time to time.

"Miss Shen is really generous and decent, not as crude as the rumors say, but much more delicate and beautiful than the original Miss Gu."

"Indeed, a fake daughter is a fake daughter, although she looks okay, she is not as beautiful as Miss Shen, she is far behind."

"Hey, but I heard that Gu Chen, the eldest brother of the Gu family, is not only the new champion of this year, but also very valued by the emperor when he answered in front of the palace, and he has been appointed as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and he was directly named an official, which has not happened for many years."

"Yes, yes, no matter what Miss Shen said, she is also Gu Chen's former sister, you must catch the heart of this court upstart, this is the most important thing." There are also young ladies who are very sensitive to politics and reminded Shen Rou.

"Yes, now that the eldest brother of the Gu family has entered the office, the only one who can help him is your general's mansion."

……

Shen Rou listened to these young ladies belittle Gu Li word by word, and did not refute, but listened to them with a smile, and then smiled softly: "I know, thank you." ”

Yes, she was so stupid before, she was the concubine of the General's Mansion and had a strong background, but she never used her identity, but fought alone, played tricks, and directly hurt He Jing.

The result?

Several brothers have more or less separated from her, especially Gu Ning, who is afraid that he already knows about hurting Gu Li.

Fortunately, she is still quite valued by the second prince, whether the second prince attaches importance to her as a person, or the identity of the general's concubine, with the help of the second prince, she has successfully cleared her name in the aristocratic circle of Qianjing, and has established a perfect image of gentleness and kindness, wisdom and virtuousness, generosity and courtesy.

Now she has enough confidence to face Gu Li, and even, she feels that she is better than Gu Li now.

Gu Li's identity is not as good as her, even if Gu Li has an elder brother who is a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, can it be compared to her general's father?

Gu Li's appearance is not as good as her, although Gu Li is also very beautiful, but people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, and Gu Li has no luxurious clothes to set off, so that her beauty is wasted in vain.

And she has the most beautiful clothes.

In the past, she was stupid and played a good hand of cards, but now, she wants Gu Li to see what everyone is beautiful and who is the real protagonist of the audience.

A humble little person like her doesn't need her to put it in her eyes at all.

Just as Shen Rou was constantly belittling Gu Li in her heart, she heard a voice spread into the banquet hall: "The waiter of the Ministry of Rites has arrived!" ”

Almost everyone looked at the door, but saw an elegant and handsome person walking steadily with a smile on his face, who was it not Gu Chen.

Gu Li subconsciously wanted to catch up, but saw another figure flying towards Gu Chen like a butterfly: "Big brother." ”

Gu Chen looked at Shen Rou at this time, took a step back with a smile, dodged the body that Shen Rou wanted to pounce on without a trace, and said politely and gently: "Xiao Rou is really getting more and more beautiful." ”

Shen Rou pursed her lips and smiled, showing a touch of innocence on her face: "Thank you, big brother, big brother is also very energetic today." ”

Gu Chen said, but his eyes fell on Gu Li who was not far away, and his smile immediately softened a lot: "Xiaoli, come here." ”

Gu Li greeted Princess Mingzhu and ran over happily: "Big brother, I knew you would definitely come today." ”

"I heard that you designed today's banquet? Let's introduce my brother. So saying, the two men walked forward.

Shen Rou looked at Gu Li's back, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in her heart, her eyes seemed to be quenched with poison: "After today, see if you can still smile." ”

For Gu Chen's very promising champion, someone soon came to talk, hoping to get the support of this upstart in officialdom in the future.

Gu Li stood next to Gu Chen with a smile, watching Gu Chen deal with it calmly, not at all like a hairy young man who had just entered the officialdom.

Someone looked at Gu Li's body and praised: "This is Sister Ling, she is really dignified and elegant, and she is not inferior to General Shen's daughter-in-law, Miss Shen." ”

Gu Li's brows furrowed slightly, but she didn't say anything, she couldn't leave a bad impression on her eldest brother's colleagues in the future.

However, Gu Li didn't care about anything, Gu Chen, who had always been good at dancing with long sleeves, had a cold face, and said in an unhappy tone: "My little sister is very good, and she is also the most favored by our family, no one can compare with her." ”

The person who spoke was an old man in the officialdom, Gu Chen said this, which made the person's face show a touch of embarrassment, and he reluctantly smiled and arched his hand, and then left.

And the people around who heard Gu Chen's words were a little surprised, did Lord Li actually offend Lord Gu when he said that? Then Miss Shen is not bad, compared to Miss Gu, how can it still be like insulting Miss Gu, I didn't expect that Lord Gu was unhappy, what a sister control.

Gu Li didn't expect Gu Chen to be so angry because of this matter, even more angry than herself, although she didn't like what the person said, but she didn't get angry, so she spoke cautiously: "Big brother, are you angry?" ”

Gu Chen looked down at Gu Li, he was very tall, nearly a head taller than Gu Li, so he reached out and just touched Gu Li's head, so touching Gu Li's head became Gu Chen's habitual action.

Gu Chen said seriously: "Although I don't know what you are carrying, but now that you have lost your status as the eldest lady of the General's Mansion and your original parents, if the eldest brother doesn't favor you a little more, then you will be too wronged." ”

Gu Li's eyes smiled into a small crescent, and he asked with a slight urgency: "Then in the eldest brother's heart, I am more important than Shen Rou?" ”
