But when Gu Xijiu came in, she almost blinded everyone's eyes, and the jealousy in their hearts began to rise.
Although Rong Chu's behavior when they saw her made them even more jealous, it was expected by them. After all, Rong Chu had always been lustful and had countless concubines in his house.
But Rong Jialuo never gets close to any woman!
He doesn’t buy into any beautiful woman’s opinions, and now he’s actually smiling at Gu Xijiu! He even raised his glass to her like a toast!
Why? Why did she take all the benefits? !
The jealousy of these women has been rising for a long time, especially Lan Zhaoer, the daughter of the prime minister who is interested in Rong Chu, is almost red-eyed!
After drinking for three rounds, she was the first to attack: "Miss Gu has become a phoenix now, and her airs have become bigger. Even Long Live the Lord doesn't take her seriously anymore." She first put a big hat on Gu Xijiu.
Gu Xijiu was not impatient: "How do you say this?"
"Your Majesty personally hosted a banquet for you. How much of an honor is this? It's just that you don't know how to be grateful. You actually came late and asked Your Majesty to wait for you! The disciples of the Holy Lord can't be so arrogant and ignorant of etiquette, right?"
"Yes, yes, you are so arrogant! You simply don't take anyone seriously!?"
"That's right, it's so annoying."
"Humph, it is a virtue for a woman to have no talent. You are so arrogant and arrogant, so what if you are talented and beautiful? This is not a virtue..."
"..." The girls all agreed and then condemned.
Gu Xijiu listened calmly and asked after a moment: "Is everything finished?"
Girls: "..."
"Now that everything has been said, let me say something." Gu Xijiu's voice was calm and calm, and she turned to look at Emperor Xuan: "Your Majesty, the daughter of the people remember that the invitation said that His Majesty will hold a banquet at the time of You. Did the daughter of the people remember it wrong?"
Emperor Xuan shook his head: "You remember correctly, the banquet is indeed held at the time of You."
Gu Xijiu asked the Huang gatekeeper at the door again: "My father-in-law, when did Xijiu come in? Is he late?"
Huangmenguan looked at Emperor Xuan with embarrassment, and Emperor Xuan said: "Just tell the truth."
Huang Menguan bowed this time and said: "Miss Gu arrived on time and was not late."
Gu Xijiu nodded slightly, then looked at Lan Zhaoer and others: "Did you hear this? Xijiu kept his word and came without even a moment's delay. Why is he so arrogant?"
Girls: "..."
Lan Zhaoer: "...you, you came later than your Majesty—"
"That's His Majesty's favor, and Xijiu is extremely grateful. But judging from Miss Lan's tone, it seems that she also dislikes Your Majesty for coming late?"
This big hat made Lan Zhaoer break into a cold sweat. Knowing that the other party had caught him with a speech impediment, he hurriedly argued: "I don't! Don't make random accusations! I... I never meant this!"
Gu Xijiu smiled: "Me? Miss Lan dares to call herself 'I' in front of His Majesty? This is not as simple as arrogance, this is a crime of disrespect! It turns out that this is Miss Lan's etiquette, I understand!"
Lan Zhaoer: "..."
There were beads of sweat on her forehead. She opened her mouth and was about to say something else when her father, Prime Minister Lan, interrupted her sharply: "Shut up, you bastard!"
Lan Zhaoer was so frightened that she didn't dare to speak.
Prime Minister Lan knelt down to Emperor Xuan to apologize for his daughter.
This crime of disrespect can be serious or small. If it is serious, it can be beheaded directly, but if it is small, it can be ignored.
Emperor Xuan chose to ignore it and waved his hand: "Although your wife is rude, she is still young, so there is no need to argue with her."
So Prime Minister Lan once again kowtowed with gratitude.
