Gu Chengxuan didn't go back home so quickly. He randomly found a restaurant and didn't overeat. He just ate some meat and wine and listened to some songs as usual. It was dusk in a flash.
I drank a lot of wine and was quite tipsy, but I was still quite sober.
When the subordinates came in, they saw Gu Chengxuan with his forehead propped up in a lazy and indifferent posture, his eyes focused on the person playing the piano and singing on the other side of the screen.
Gu Chengxuan's expression looked normal, so his subordinates didn't think much. They just walked over and reported to King Cheng that Princess Zhou had come to the palace.
But Gu Chengxuan did not take his eyes away from Qin Nu. His subordinates were not sure whether King Cheng heard what he said, so he had to repeat what he said.
Looking back at this, Cheng Xuan finally sat up lazily, took another sip of wine, then stood up, dusted off his wrinkled clothes, and then spoke, his voice stained with alcohol, and said in a low voice: "Let's go. "
When she returned to Prince Cheng's Mansion, Princess Zhou was asking the housekeeper in the courtyard. When she saw him coming back, she walked over, frowned and looked at him, and asked hesitantly: "Cheng Xuan... have you been drinking?"
Gu Chengxuan twitched his eyebrows and said, "Drink a little, elder sister, what do you want from me?"
Princess Zhou looked at him with complicated emotions for a long time. She didn't say anything immediately, but just asked Gu Chengxuan to go back to the court to rest.
When the servants brought tea, Princess Zhou saw Gu Chengxuan sitting in front of the table, playing with a few black stones in his hand, and arranging the chess game on the table, looking as leisurely as usual. Calm, as if not affected by the gossip from the outside world.
"Chengxuan, drink a cup of tea to relieve your hangover." Princess Zhou reminded him.
Gu Chengxuan's slender fingers rubbed a sunspot, turning it over and over. After a while, it fell on the chess board. Then he threw all the sunspots in his hand into the white porcelain, picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly, saying warmly : "My drinking capacity is quite good, elder sister, don't worry."
"You're so good, why did you go out to drink?"
"It's so good, why can't you have a drink?" Gu Chengxuan said with a helpless smile.
Princess Zhou had no choice but to give up the question and ask again: "These days, I have been listening to the rumors outside, but I always feel that Chengxuan, you are not the kind of person who doesn't know the importance... Chengxuan , are you really talking to the little daughter of the Pei family..."
Princess Zhou was talking, but it was too difficult to speak, so she had to stop abruptly.
But Gu Chengxuan didn't seem to feel any shame. He continued what Princess Zhou said unhurriedly: "It'll take a while to have some fun."
Princess Zhou looked at him blankly, "What do you mean? Chengxuan, do you still want your reputation?"
"Eldest sister, I'm overthinking it. It's just for fun. Little Miss Pei isn't interested in it, so I won't be interested either. No, it's over when we've had enough fun."
Gu Chengxuan's tone when he said this was as if he was just explaining a very common thing.
His tone was casual, but it sounded uncomfortable.
Princess Zhou couldn't help but frowned and said: "Are you just playing for fun? Then... Mr. Pei was impeached to the court before..."
"If you want to impeach, just impeach." Gu Chengxuan changed the position of a white piece on the chess game again, as if he didn't care much about what his eldest sister said.
