The prince supports her, and the reborn princess kills people

Gu Ruxiao blushed and spoke in a rare reserved manner.

"No, it's this skirt that looks good."

In a blink of an eye, she saw Jiang Mufan staring at her blankly, with undisguised amazement in his eyes.

Gu Ruxiao's face turned even redder, just like the peach blossoms blooming wildly in April.

"You, what are you looking at?"

Jiang Mufan suddenly came to his senses and quickly looked away.

This flowery dress really suits Gu Ruxiao, and she likes it very much.

But she knew that this was originally given to Shen Qingyan by Jiang Mufan, so she spoke up.

"I want to buy this dress. How much is it? Name your price."

Jiang Mufan shook his head and said calmly, "As long as the princess likes it, this flower dress is a gift from me to Sister Yan. Since Sister Yan chose to give it to you, I won't charge you any more money."

"That won't do. Let's put things one way and one way." Gu Ruxiao insisted and raised his hand for Caiyun to take the purse.

“Just consider it as I bought it.”

After saying that, she went next door to change out of her flowery skirt.

It was so beautiful and exquisite that she couldn't bear to wear it.

Seeing Jiang Mufan helpless with the purse full of gold, Shen Qingyan patted him on the shoulder and said.

"Take it, otherwise Ruxiao won't feel comfortable wearing it."

Jiang Mufan naturally obeyed Shen Qingyan's words.

Before leaving Wanjia Jinxiu Pavilion, Shen Qingyan handed Jiang Mufan an invitation.

"Mu Fan, you are old enough to get married. This banquet is a good opportunity. If you have a girl you like, I can help you find a date."

When Jiang Mufan heard the word "start a family", his expression was a little gloomy, but he still accepted the invitation.

"Will Sister Yan go?"

"meeting."

"it is good."

Since Sister Yan wants him to get married, then he should go.

On the way back, Gu Ruxiao was particularly happy.

"Sister-in-law, I didn't expect that Mr. Jiang is so talented that he could design such a beautiful dress."

Shen Qingyan raised her eyebrows and asked teasingly, "Why, you like it very much?"

Gu Ruxiao did not doubt him and nodded quickly, "I like it."

"Do you like him as a person, or the flower skirt?"

Gu Ruxiao reacted immediately and pushed Shen Qingyan hurriedly.

"Imperial sister-in-law, you are talking nonsense again. Do you want to push it onto me now that you are a man?"

Shen Qingyan smiled and said, "That has to be something you like."

Having said that, Shen Qingyan suddenly had a good idea.

Perhaps through some provocation, one of Gu Ruxiao and Rong Lan could be made to take the initiative.

*

A small spring banquet in a flower garden.

The path is winding, with flowers clustered on both sides. The flowers of various colors are vying for beauty, just like the young men and women in their youth.

Those who arrived early gathered in groups of three or five, laughing and talking happily, but the men gathered with the men, and the women gathered with the women. There was no sight of men and women walking together.

After all, the young men and women who came to the banquet all knew the purpose of their visit today, and they were all reserved and embarrassed to approach and talk to the one they liked.

When Jiang Mufan arrived, almost everyone else was already there.

He didn't know those young men from noble families, so he found a pavilion to drink tea alone, looking towards the exit from time to time, waiting for Shen Qingyan to arrive.

He had made up his mind that no matter who Sister Yan asked him to marry today, he would be willing, as long as it was arranged by Sister Yan.

Just as he was leisurely sipping tea and admiring the flowers around him, a gentle masculine voice came from behind him.

"Sir, are you waiting for someone?"

When Jiang Mufan saw Rong Lan, he immediately stood up and saluted.

"It turned out to be Lord Rong."

Rong Lan was slightly surprised, "You recognize me?"

Jiang Mufan said in a gentle voice: "Lord Rong was willing to cut off his arm so that the people of Shuzhou could have drinking water. Jiang admires you very much."

In fact, he recognized Rong Lan just now because he saw the empty sleeve of his left arm.

"I'm ashamed to say that it's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning."

Rong Lan was still a little embarrassed. Others recognized him, but he didn't recognize them.

Fortunately, Jiang Mufan introduced himself immediately.

"My last name is Jiang Mufan, Lord Rong, you can just call me Mufan. My family is in business, and by chance I came to this spring banquet to broaden my horizons."

Rong Lan did not look down on him just because he was the son of a businessman, and quickly bowed in return.

"It turns out to be Mr. Jiang. Excuse me."

After that, the two of them had nothing to say and the atmosphere became a little awkward.

Jiang Mufan didn't want to say anything, but Rong Lan had nothing to say.

He has always disliked making friends with the children of the powerful and wealthy. The only person he could talk to was Qin Yunfeng, who was also the prime minister. Unfortunately, Qin Yunfeng was already married and did not attend the banquet.

After the atmosphere was silent for a while, Rong Lan took the initiative to speak.

"By the way, I wonder if Mr. Jiang has seen anyone else here? Someone sent me a letter and asked me to meet him here, but I only saw Mr. Jiang."

"Ah?" Jiang Mufan was a little surprised. "I've been drinking tea here and never saw anyone come here."

Rong Lan concealed the disappointment in his eyes and hid the letter in his sleeve.

He recognized the handwriting on the letter and confirmed it several times. It was clearly from Gu Ruxiao...

But he couldn't believe it and hesitated for a long time before coming to this pavilion. Unexpectedly, he saw Jiang Mufan, a stranger.

Is someone teasing him on purpose?

Just as Rong Lan was lost in thought, a loud announcement attracted everyone's attention.

"The Princess is here~"

Everyone hurried to the front hall to greet them, Rong Lan and Jiang Mufan were no exception.

People were crowding on the path among the flowers. Rong Lan was pushed to the back. Before he saw Gu Ruxiao's people, he heard a gasp from the front.

What, what happened?

Following Gu Ruxiao's shout of "Stand up", Rong Lan hurriedly looked up, his eyes suddenly lit up, and there was an unconcealable amazement in his eyes.

Jiang Mufan was also a little surprised. When Gu Ruxiao put on the flowery dress that day, she didn't have any makeup on, which was already stunning enough. Now with makeup on, her face looked even more beautiful.

Her slender eyebrows are like distant mountains covered with smoke, her eyes are bright and lively, the rouge lightly applied on her cheeks adds a touch of beauty, her lips are red but not gaudy, she is elegant, generous, dignified and beautiful.

Everyone present seemed to lose focus and their eyes were all fixed on Gu Ruxiao.

Some young men sighed in their hearts. They had not seen the eldest princess attend any banquet for three years and thought that her appearance was ruined and she dared not show her face to others. They never thought that she was so beautiful and charming.

Jiang Mufan murmured, "I didn't expect the princess to look so bright and charming in the flowery dress today. Perhaps it really suits her..."

When Rong Lan heard this, he immediately became alert.

"Brother Jiang, what do you mean by that? Have you ever seen the eldest princess pass through somewhere else?"

Jiang Mufan didn't think too deeply about it and nodded.

"The flower dress that the princess is wearing was designed by me. I saw it once when she tried it on that day."

Rong Lan's face involuntarily darkened and his tone became a little stiff.

"Really? I didn't expect Brother Jiang to have such skills."

Jiang Mufan said modestly: "I am not talented, this is all I have. As long as the princess likes it, it's fine."

However, his politeness sounded oddly harsh to Rong Lan.
