Chapter 1207 - The Battle of Gorgeousness Between the Beauties (1/2)
The Heiress’ Gala was a compet.i.tion of who looked the best. The young, beautiful and talented girls had all gathered under one roof, thus creating a visually appealing sight. They took a stroll along the garden together and chatted boisterously.
However, regardless of how lively the conversations were, everyone made a conscious effort to be mindful of their etiquette and remain poised like the refined ladies they were.
It was a stark contrast to the exchange of sarcastic remarks on the porch by the lake.
The girls were admiring the flowers together while remarking in fascination, “These peonies are gorgeous and elegant, so are these jade-like Snowy Blushes. The resplendent Purple Snow Dragon, cla.s.sy Jade Phoenix, and the graceful Shy Girl, are all expensive breeds of flowers. They’ve bloomed so well, it’s fascinating!
“Look at that old cinnamon tree. It looks aged. It must have been here for at least a century. These old cinnamon trees are rare finds in Capital City, let alone one that is so full of vitality. Boya Pavilion really lives up to its reputation.”
“I heard that the older the cinnamon tree, the more fragrant the flowers would be. That seems to really be the case. I’ve never smelled such a sweet and heavenly scent before. If we use the osmanthus from this tree to make some osmanthus cake, it’ll definitely taste delicious.”
“You think of eating everything you see. Century-old osmanthus trees are rare and precious. I think it’d be a better choice to derive the essence of these osmanthus flowers.”
Since the heiresses were there for the Heiress’ Gala, they were all hoping to be outstanding and receive attention from everyone else. Although they seemed to be having a jovial and enjoyable chat on the surface, they definitely had their own intentions and ulterior motives.
They wanted to show how knowledgeable they were by using the chrysanthemums as an example. Some were also trying to use the osmanthus tree to show how virtuous and multi-talented they were. It was only normal for them to do so.
They were just gathering together to try and outs.h.i.+ne each other.
Although Boya Pavilion offered beautiful scenery, there was nothing else too special about it. After strolling around for a while, everyone began to get a little bored. Hence, they decided to strike a conversation with each other. “It’s no wonder that Lin Yingxin is known as a talented beauty in Captial city. I bet there’s barely anyone who can compare to her, in terms of elegance, beauty or talent.”
“I’m blessed to have been offered the opportunity to attend the gala. Back then, the song ‘Snow In Spring’ that Senior Lin performed gave off a cold and mystical vibe. She played the song gracefully with her delicate fingers and managed to impress everyone.”
“Miss Lin does have extraordinary talents in the arts, especially the zither, calligraphy, and chess. She really lives up to her nickname and deserves to be one of the judges for the Heiress’ Gala.”
Everyone sounded rather jealous and envious when they talked about Lin Yingxin. After all, her reputation and talents were truly coveted by many.
“Hey, who’s that lady who’s been sitting together with Senior Lin under the porch? She’s pretty, but she doesn’t seem very familiar. I don’t think she’s a popular heiress in Capital city. Why would they invite someone like her?”
“You’ve got such poor judgment. You didn’t even recognize Xia Ruya. Everyone in the city knows who Xia Ruya is and that she has a feud with the Wen Family. A lot of people are still gossiping about her, even until today.”
