Chapter 353 Why Is She Taking All the Benefits?
But when Gu Xijiu came in, everyone's eyes were almost blinded, and the jealousy in their hearts began to rise.
Although Rong Chu's behavior made them even more jealous when they saw her, it was within their expectation. After all, Rong Chu had always been lustful, and there were countless concubines in his house.
But Rong Jialuo has never been close to any woman!
He doesn't buy any beauties, but now he actually smiles at Gu Xijiu! He also raised a glass to her like a toast!
Why? Why did she take all the benefits? !
The jealousy of these women has risen for a long time, especially Lan Zhaoer, the prime minister's daughter who is interested in Rong Chu, is almost red-eyed!
After drinking for three rounds, she took the lead in attacking: "Miss Gu has become a phoenix now, and her airs have grown, and she doesn't even care about Long Live." She put a big hat on Gu Xijiu as soon as she opened her mouth.
Gu Xijiu was neither impatient nor impatient: "How do you say that?"
"Your Majesty personally set up a banquet for you. How much honor is this? You don't know how to be grateful, but you came late on purpose to let His Majesty wait for you! The disciples of Shengzun can't be so arrogant and arrogant, right?"
"Yeah, yeah, it's too arrogant! You just don't take anyone seriously!?"
"That's right, it's too exasperating."
"Hmph, if a woman is ignorant, she is virtuous. You are so arrogant and arrogant, so what if you have talent and appearance? There is a lack of virtue..."
"..." All the girls echoed and condemned.
Gu Xijiu listened calmly, and asked after a while: "Is it all finished?"
Women: "..."
"Since we've finished talking, let me say something." Gu Xijiu's voice was calm and calm, she turned her head to look at Emperor Xuan: "Your Majesty, the girl remembers that the invitation says that His Majesty will hold a banquet in the next year, did the girl remember it wrong?"
Emperor Xuan shook his head: "You remember correctly, the banquet is indeed held at Youshi."
Gu Xijiu asked the Huangmen officer at the door again: "My father-in-law, when did Xijiu come in? Are you late?"
The Huangmen official looked at Emperor Xuan in embarrassment, and Emperor Xuan said: "Just tell the truth."
The Huangmen officer bowed this time and said: "Miss Gu arrived on time, she is not late."
Gu Xijiu nodded slightly, and then looked at Lan Zhaoer and the others: "Did you hear that? Xijiu kept her promise and didn't delay even a moment. Why are you talking so arrogantly?"
Women: "..."
Lan Zhaoer: "...You, you are later than Your Majesty—"
"That's His Majesty's favor, Xijiu is very grateful. But from Miss Lan's tone, it seems that she also dislikes His Majesty's late arrival?"
This big hat made Lan Zhaoer break out in a cold sweat. Knowing that the other party had caught her slang, she hurriedly argued: "I didn't! Don't make random accusations! I...I have absolutely no such intention!"
Gu Xijiu smiled: "Me? Miss Lan dares to call herself 'I' in front of His Majesty? This is not as simple as arrogance, it is a crime of disrespect! So this is Miss Lan's etiquette, I learned it!"
Lan Zhaoer: "..."
There were beads of sweat on her forehead, she opened her mouth and was about to say something, but her father, Prime Minister Lan, interrupted him sharply: "You beast, shut up!"
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 big or small. If it is too big, it can be beheaded directly, but if it is too small, it can be ignored.
Emperor Xuan chose to ignore it, and waved his hand: "Although Ling Ai is impolite, she is still young, so there is no need to argue with her."
So Prime Minister Lan kowtowed again in gratitude.
