Gu Yunni certainly knew that these people wanted to watch the fun, and there were also some jealous looks among them.
Especially Kou Mingxue, the malice and targeting in her eyes almost overflowed.
Obviously, this malice was directed at himself.
She stood out leisurely, the sunlight shining on her pretty face, as if it was covered with a layer of soft light, making her as otherworldly as a fairy in the sky.
Many people held their breath when they saw this scene, for fear of disturbing the beings in heaven.
Then, she opened her red lips slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She was neither humble nor arrogant, but calm and composed, "Since it is Miss Kou's invitation, I would rather obey your command."
Kou Mingxue's eyes flashed, and for some reason, she suddenly had an ominous premonition.
Then, she walked to a peach tree by the pond and picked up a peach blossom.
"This is a lotus banquet, and you are all admiring the lotus. So I will use the peach blossoms as the theme. The trees are full of gorgeous red, and the branches are radiant with red in the spring. The peach trees are flourishing and their flowers are dazzling. I hope Miss Kou's future life can be as brilliant as these peach blossoms."
After saying that, she pursed her lips and smiled. Not only did she not feel unhappy about being provoked, she even responded with blessings very kindly.
This kind of broad-mindedness is really admirable.
Her poems also attracted the admiration of talented men and beautiful women.
"What a beautiful line! I never thought Miss Gu, a woman like her, could have such a broad mind. I admire her!"
"Miss Gu is well-read. Her talent makes us men feel ashamed!"
Some men expressed their admiration, and some ladies were no exception.
These people love poetry and books and do not like to be jealous. If the poems and sentences are really good, they will also attract the love of these women, and there are many women of noble status among them.
For example, this princess has always loved delicate poetry and songs, but at the same time she has high taste, and there are very few people whom she can personally appreciate.
But this princess, who rarely spoke in front of others, was staring at Gu Yunni with a burning gaze, her eyes full of admiration. "Excellent, what a wonderful poem praising peach blossoms. Miss Gu, are you also a lover of poetry? I didn't expect you to be so talented. If there is a chance, I hope to discuss it with you."
This is equivalent to the princess extending an olive branch, which has extraordinary significance.
Many people looked at Gu Yunni, full of admiration and envy.
Not everyone is eligible to receive the princess's olive branch.
If the gap between people is not big, everyone may be jealous, but once the gap is too big, all people can do is envy.
The fact that Gu Yunni can recite such verses shows her talent.
Even if some noble ladies were secretly dissatisfied, they knew that they could not catch up with the other party's spiritual energy.
Compared with her own far-fetched assumptions, Gu Yunni is truly a man of great learning and elegance.
"Of course, it is my great fortune to be appreciated by the princess."
Gu Yunni nodded. Since the other person was smiling, she would not refuse him face.
So, the two of them smiled at each other, and with just one poem, she gained the support of a princess.
Many noble ladies began to whisper among themselves.
"First the prince, then the princess, and who knows how many people have been seduced by her."
"She's quite capable. Even without the Crown Prince, she still has the Princess's support. Originally, some people wanted to take advantage of her being a commoner to wantonly belittle her. Now, I'm afraid they have to consider the weight of this person."
"No wonder His Royal Highness likes her. If I had such talent and looks, perhaps the Prince would fall in love with me."
The noble ladies were talking in private, looking at Gu Yunni with envy.
Not only women, but even men were attracted by her graceful and elegant temperament.
The man also started to mutter.
"If His Royal Highness had not already made his decision, I would not have let go of such a talented and beautiful woman. I would have made her my principal wife."
"Are you willing to give up your position as the legal wife? She's just a commoner."
"So what? If she's really just a commoner, it's not bad to win the princess's favor. You just have too low a vision. You know, it's hard to find a virtuous wife in this world. To have a woman like this by your side is simply a man's lifelong dream!"
"Alas, with such talent and looks, it turns out that the prince has better taste than us!"
…
Sheng Mingyu was very proud when she heard this.
He was happier to hear someone praising his fiancée than when someone praised him.
Some friends came forward and touched his shoulders, "Your Highness, you acted too quickly. You didn't even give the brothers a chance."
Sheng Mingyu rolled his eyes at them and said, "Good things should be taken as soon as possible. You are late, so don't blame me. Besides, she is already my fiancée, so give up your wishful thinking!"
After hearing this, his brothers felt even more upset.
The look in Sheng Mingyu's eyes was filled with resentment, "You little bastard, how could you be so quick to act!"
Sheng Mingyu curled his lips, his handsome face full of pride.
All in all, the atmosphere is good and most people are friendly.
But Kou Mingxue, who had personally made all this happen, was not in a very good mood.
She should have been the center of attention, the center of everyone's attention.
Because of the poem she had prepared in advance, she had already won everyone's praise, but she didn't expect that the limelight would be stolen by Gu Yunni.
Everyone surrounded her and praised her, and no one noticed that they were the host today.
Kou Mingxue felt excluded and was very jealous.
Especially when she was too clever for her own good, she felt even more angry.
So, she suddenly stood up with a look of anger on her face, and in front of everyone, she bit back: "Don't be fooled by her. The poem Gu Yunni just wrote was not her own creation. It was written by me. She simply plagiarized my poem!"
Kou Mingxue was so angry that she spoke without thinking and just yelled.
But after she finished speaking, she realized something and a hint of guilt flashed across her eyes.
But now that it has been said, the arrow is on the string and must be shot.
She could only try to stay calm and brainwash herself until she seemed to believe it.
This caused a huge uproar and shocked everyone.
Everyone was talking about it.
"Plagiarism? That's impossible, right? Miss Gu doesn't seem like that kind of person."
"Hmph, you can't judge a person by his appearance. After all, she is a fake daughter. Maybe she can't stand the real daughter being in the spotlight, so she did this on purpose." There were also those who couldn't stand Gu Yunni and took the opportunity to add insult to injury.
At this time, someone also raised a question: "Ms. Kou, you and Miss Gu were clearly switched when you were young, so how could she have stolen your poem?"
