Shocking! The entire court was drooling with envy because of me.

"Princess, why are all these people around us acting like they're possessed? And, Xiaoxing smells something strange about this."

Xiao Xing lowered her voice, her eyes filled with deep confusion.

Gu Qionghua tugged at her black robe, trying to completely conceal herself: "It's not just these people, I feel like everyone in Ping'an County has gone mad."

"Yes, that magistrate is so ungrateful! How dare he refuse the princess!"

When the county magistrate was mentioned, a hint of hidden anger flashed in Gu Qionghua's eyes.

She arrived in Ping'an County early today and went straight to the county government office. As soon as she arrived, she revealed her identity as a princess and asked the county magistrate to send yamen runners to escort her to Zhiwei Restaurant.

As a result, the county magistrate was ungrateful and said that the yamen runners were either on duty or busy queuing up, and there was no one available.

They also said that no matter who you are, you have to queue up to go to Zhiwei Restaurant.

Even her imperial uncle had to wait in line.

This is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous! Her emperor uncle is incredibly incompetent and foolish.

How can we let a restaurant owner ride roughshod over us?

It's really infuriating.

There was no other way but to wear a black robe and a black hat over her gorgeous clothes, completely covering herself up.

In this way, these dirty people won't be able to touch her.

Her clothes won't get dirty anymore.

"Today, I, the princess, am determined to have a contest with this Lady Shen and see who is the most beautiful!" Gu Qionghua said, her voice brimming with determination.

She wouldn't allow anyone to surpass her!

"Madam Shen is the most beautiful woman in the world, and I won't accept any rebuttal." A quick-witted diner nearby retorted immediately upon hearing Gu Qionghua's words.

Xiaoxing: "You, do you know who you're talking to? You..."

"Alright, no need to waste any more words." Gu Qionghua gritted her teeth. "Once we get into Zhiwei Restaurant, we'll see who's beautiful and who's ugly."

They were just common people who had never seen the world. As a princess, she was of noble birth and didn't need to lower herself to their level.

"Even in the Zhiwei Restaurant, Madam Shen is the most beautiful." This diner didn't hold back at all; he was probably a regular customer of Shen Qing's.

Gu Qionghua: "..."

She endured it!

After waiting in line for a long time, Gu Qionghua finally arrived at the entrance of Zhiwei Restaurant.

There were still a few people queuing inside the restaurant.

Several unusually distinct sounds entered my ears.

"Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?" came a male voice.

"Shen Qing is the most beautiful woman in the world!"

"Shen Qing is the most beautiful woman in the world!!"

"Shen Qing is the most beautiful woman in the world!!!"

These shouts came from both men and women. What should have been a question answered by one person was instead answered by the diners behind them.

Situ Liang has taken over the Bo Bo Chicken business. He asks customers questions as he sells, and hearing their cheers fills him with excitement.

It was as if these diners were shouting, "Situ Liang is the most handsome man in the world."

Working at Zhiwei Restaurant is absolutely fantastic!

Hearing these voices, Gu Qionghua felt even more indignant.

As the most beautiful woman in the capital, she received countless adorations and praises.

But she had never heard such direct, enthusiastic, and enthusiastic praise before.

It was as if everyone around them was completely captivated by Madam Shen's beauty.

Her fingers were clenched tightly as she moved forward little by little with the line.

Gradually, a very conspicuous plaque came into her view.

"Shen Qing is the most beautiful woman in the world," Xiao Xing next to her read out word by word.

Her almond-shaped eyes were wide open, clearly showing her utter shock.

"This is...this is way too narcissistic," Xiaoxing couldn't help but say.

Even if she were truly the most beautiful woman in the world, she couldn't accept having such a plaque displayed.

That's really narcissistic.

Gu Qionghua was also greatly shocked.

She was the most beautiful woman in the capital, but she wasn't shameless enough to make herself a plaque.

This... this...

Putting everything else aside, she gave this Mrs. Shen a thumbs up for her courage and shamelessness.

"We're here, we're here, it'll be our turn soon!" Xiaoxing said excitedly from the side.

She simply wanted to see her own princess outshine this so-called Lady Shen with her beauty.

Gu Qionghua looked up and saw that there was only one person left in front of her.

With a slight tilt of her head, she spotted the legendary Lady Shen.

The woman, surnamed Shen, was dressed in a light blue, narrow-sleeved short jacket with the cuffs tightly turned up, and over it was a dark-colored, plain, coarse cloth long apron that reached her calves.

She wore only an ebony hairpin and had a plain cloth wrapped around her forehead.

He had an upright posture, exquisitely beautiful eyebrows and eyes, porcelain-white skin, and a calm demeanor.

His hand movements were clean, efficient, calm, and composed.

She is beautiful, but to say she is the most beautiful in the world is an exaggeration.

Gu Qionghua felt even more confident.

Today she's going to show these people what it means to be the most beautiful woman in the world!

"Durian pizza or bacon and potato pizza?" a cool, clear voice rang out.

Gu Qionghua suddenly came to her senses; she was already standing at the very front of the line.

Face Shen Qing directly.

She smiled and first took off the hat she was wearing.

"I don't want pizza," she said confidently.

Without stopping, he slowly untied the black robe he was wearing.

In an instant, a golden light flashed, revealing the girl's gorgeous clothes.

Today she wore a pomegranate red brocade robe with a gold cross-collar, the body of which was embroidered with peony and phoenix patterns, the gold threads shimmering in the sunlight, exuding an air of nobility.

Her long, black hair was styled into an elaborate Lingyun bun, adorned with a red-gold and kingfisher feather hairpin, her head gleaming with pearls.

Her luxurious attire accentuated her domineering presence, her beauty radiating arrogance and swagger.

Among the drab diners, the girl seemed to shine.

All eyes were now on Gu Qionghua.

Many people couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"What a nice view!"

"What's blinding me?"

"Heavens above, I would decree that she be the second most beautiful woman in the entire world."

"..."

What a bright and beautiful girl.

Shen Qing couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

She has always greatly admired beautiful women.

But she couldn't understand why this person had suddenly started changing clothes.

So he asked, puzzled, "Don't you want pizza? You can choose whatever you like: grilled sausage, Sichuan-style boiled chicken, or sparkling drink; it's right next to us."

Grilled sausage, boiled chicken, and sparkling drink?

Gu Qionghua was stunned; she hadn't expected Shen Qing to react this way.

She's here to have a beauty contest, a beauty contest!

What does this have to do with grilled sausages?

Gu Qionghua felt like she had punched cotton.

She took a deep breath: "I didn't come here to buy food!"

"And who are you??" Shen Qing was even more confused.

This was the first time she had ever seen someone come to Zhiwei Restaurant not for the food.

Gu Qionghua gritted her teeth: "I'm here to compete with you in beauty!!"
