In the Grand Princess Mansion, the various buildings took a lot of effort.

At that time, the garden party was held in the back garden of the princess' mansion. Although the garden wasn't as grand as the imperial garden, it wasn't too far off. That day, the Grand Princess had wanted to show her eldest son her wife, so she had invested quite a bit.

It was said that the Emperor had promised the Grand Princess that she would decide the marriage for her children. Even though the emperor's words were true, how could the eldest princess, the direct descendant of the emperor, not know anything about the emperor?

Right now, it was very unstable as it surged towards all sides. The Grand Princess was also worried. When had the Emperor ever thought of his children on a whim? If he gave her children a marriage in the name of stability, wouldn't she cry to death?

Therefore, when her eldest son had just reached the age for marriage, the Grand Princess couldn't wait to find a good wife for him.

Hua Yuan often brought Hua Yufei to banquets and such, but her performance was very proper. Hua Yufei's reputation was already very good, to the extent that she even had the momentum of being called one of the three most talented ladies in the capital, along with Luo Meng and Princess Yun Xin.

As for Hua Lii, who carried the title of a straw bag, Hua Yufei would always open her up and tease her whenever she had nothing better to do. Ever since that day, Dugu Ye would often visit them, or ask them to go together with him. Her mood wasn't that bad.

Hua Yuan's heart became more and more attached to Hua Yufei. Because Hua Yufei didn't like Du Qiao, she didn't want Hua Yufei to dislike her, so she had long since cut off her connection with Du Qiao.

Arriving at the Grand Princess's Mansion, they played for a while before discussing about composing poems to meet the scenes. The garden was truly exquisite, and the flowers were in full bloom, which she had not done at the time. However, in the blink of an eye, Hua Yufei had composed a poem, which was extremely suitable for the occasion, and was greeted with many praises. Hua Yuan was ignored by others just like that.

However, she wasn't the only one who wrote the poem, Hua Yuan didn't feel very disappointed.

After that, someone else offered up his zither skills, causing another round of praise.

When they arrived at the back of the garden party, there were some in the crowd who began to talk about how among these ladies, even if they were not good at poetry, they were good at zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

But Hua Yuan, as a young miss of the Prime Minister's Palace, didn't seem to be very good at anything!

At first, he had some concerns, but later on, he probably saw that the Grand Princess didn't seem to be angry with him, and the more he spoke, the more unpleasant his words became. Gradually, her reputation as an idiot spread out.

However, Hua Yuan really did not want to do this, especially since Hua Yufei could not bring herself to do so.

At that time, she really felt that it didn't matter to her, but it was better for Hua Yufei not to be angry with her. As such, she slowly walked to Hua Yufei's side and pulled her clothes as she whispered, ”I'm sorry.”

Hua Yufei shook her head, ”Elder sister is fine. It's just that when these people speak nonsense like that, I can't get justice for you. I'm really ashamed.”

Just when everyone was ignoring Hua Yuan, a few people walked in twos and threes from the pavilion on the other side of the pond. Everyone had a guess. That person was the eldest son of the Eldest Princess. Perhaps he was the son of one of the families that had a good relationship with the Eldest Princess.

Even though they were both men and women, it wasn't too proper to meet them just like that.

For one thing, Cangyue was not really that strict with men and women. Secondly, the eldest princess always chose her daughter-in-law, and the eldest princess was someone who did not play by the rules. She wanted her son to appear here and look at who her son was looking at.

Among the few people that came with the eldest son of the Eldest Princess was Dugu Ye.

Dugu Ye was a disciple that the Dugu Family had high hopes for. He was handsome and also an elegant youth. All the ladies blushed and felt their heartbeats quicken.

Although the Grand Princess wasn't satisfied with the fact that this person had stolen her son's limelight, she didn't think it was good for her to flare up.

At this time, Dugu Ye took out a brocade box from his bosom.

She opened the box with a smile. Inside was a glazed hairpin.

There was nothing that didn't like beauty among the women present. Upon seeing such a hairpin, everyone gasped in admiration. Even the Grand Princess, who was used to seeing good things, could not help but be attracted by this hairpin.

”This is Flowing Cloud Young Master's latest product. I heard that Young Master Du has chosen a wife, so I came to get some glory. I'll give this hairpin to the most lovable lady on the stage.”

The aristocratic ladies were always reserved, but no matter how reserved they looked on the outside, they couldn't help but feel some anticipation in their heart.

Seeing Dugu Ye walk past him, it was clear that the person who had obtained the hairpin was not him. He felt a bit disappointed, but the final result was beyond his expectations.

Dugu Ye had worn the hairpin on the head of the disgraced Hua Yuan!
