Princess Lanling was the first to react. She came forward with a smile, her eyes full of admiration for her.
In the past, Bei Yutang had given her the impression of a talented and beautiful noblewoman. However, after seeing her today, her perception was completely different. She actually saw something in her that shouldn't be there.
"Miss Bei, you are worthy of being the most beautiful woman in our Great Duan Dynasty. We are all fascinated by you." Princess Lanling said in a joking manner, but the meaning of her words was real and not just a compliment.
The princes, nobles, and young men present all looked at her with admiration and infatuation.
Many of the noble ladies present could not hide the jealousy on their faces.
Bei Yutang bowed to Princess Lanling and said, "Greetings, Princess."
Princess Lanling helped her up and said, "Today is a chrysanthemum viewing party, no need for formalities."
Zhao Sizhu stepped forward and said with a smile, "Yutang, what are you wearing? You have a veil on your face. There are rumors that your face can't be healed. Could it be true?"
Bei Yutang looked at Zhao Sizhu with a smile, "If you say it's true, then it's true. If you think it's false, then it's false."
When Princess Lanling heard Bei Yutang's words, the smile on her lips grew wider.
Zhao Sizhu obviously didn't understand what she meant. There was a hint of sarcasm in her smile. "It's been a long time since we last met. Yutang, your words are becoming more and more profound."
Bei Yutang just smiled and said nothing.
Zhao Sizhu frowned slightly upon seeing this and muttered, "Mystique."
Princess Lanling's gaze towards Zhao Sizhu had become a little duller than before. She had originally thought that the two of them were similar in character and talent, but now it seemed that there was a huge difference between them.
No wonder she felt an aura from this woman that didn't belong to her.
Bei Yutang only took a glance at Princess Lanling and noticed the subtle changes on her face. She knew that Zhao Sizhu had lost this round, and she didn't even realize it.
Princess Lanling said at the right moment, "You two may enjoy the garden at will. I will be leaving now."
Bei Yutang and Zhao Sizhu nodded slightly at her.
After Princess Lanling left, the smile on Zhao Sizhu's face faded. She looked at her outfit and a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes. Why did she look so good in any clothes?
In the past, she could wear simple and elegant clothes and look like an ethereal fairy. She told herself that she was definitely not suitable for wearing bright clothes, so she specially wore bright clothes to compete with her.
As she thought, she had gained a reputation comparable to hers.
Everyone in Shangjing City knew that Zhao Sizhu was the most suited to gorgeous, brightly colored clothing, and no one could match her. Meanwhile, Bei Yutang exemplified simple elegance.
However, today she was wearing this dazzling and extremely gorgeous dress.
Why is she still so dazzling even in such bright clothes?
Is she doing this on purpose? Is she trying to outdo herself?
Zhao Sizhu stared at her clothes, her mind racing. Countless possibilities crossed her mind, and she always concluded that she was deliberately targeting her. She must be retaliating for exposing her plagiarism of her concubine's poem in front of everyone.
"Don't you hate flashy clothes? Why are you wearing this today?"
"Did I say that?" Bei Yutang asked back.
Zhao Sizhu was stunned. After thinking carefully, she realized that she had never said it before. It was just that she had always been seen wearing plain and elegant clothes, so everyone subconsciously accepted her preference.
