353 Why She Got All the Advantages? (1/2)
Nonetheless, Gu Xijiu attracted everyone when she came in just now. Therefore, the fire of their jealousy was reignited and grew.
Though they became more jealous for Rong Chu’s response towards her, it was as expected. After all, Rong Chu was fond of women and had numerous concubines.
On the other hand, Rong Jialuo never shown any interest in women yet he was smiling at Gu Xijiu! And even raised his cup towards her!
On what ground? Why she got all the advantages?!
These ladies were so jealous of Gu Xijiu, especially the daughter of the prime minister, Lan Zhaoer who was interested in Rong Chu!
After she drank a few cups of alcohol, she started provoking, ”Ms. Gu has now become pretty and precious as well as becoming more arrogant, looking down upon His Majesty.” She started by exaggerating her charges against Gu Xijiu.
Gu Xijiu replied calmly, ”Could you please elaborate?”
”His Majesty organizes a farewell party for you himself, it is indeed a great honour! It’s alright for not showing your gratitude yet you purposely came late so that His Majesty would wait for you! How can you be so arrogant and impolite even you are the Lord’s disciple?”
”Yes, yes, it’s too arrogant! Totally not respecting anyone!”
”Yes, this is so frustrating.”
”Hng, an untalented woman usually has virtue but you are so arrogant. So what if you have beautiful appearance? You have no virtue…”
”…” The ladies condemned after she started.
Gu Xijiu listened calmly and asked after a moment, ”Have all of you finished speaking?”
The ladies, ”…”
”Since you have finished speaking, then I’ll say something.” Gu Xijiu said calmly and turned to the emperor, ”Your Majesty, I remembered that the starting time written in the invitation card was 6pm, have I remembered wrongly?”
The emperor shook his head, ”You didn’t remember incorrectly, it’s starting time is indeed from 6pm.”
