353 Why She Got All the Advantages? (2/2)

Gu Xijiu asked the eunuch at the door, ”Excuse me, what time did I enter just now? Did I come in late?”

The eunuch awkwardly looked at the emperor and the emperor said, ”You can just say the truth.”

The eunuch bowed down and said, ”Ms. Gu arrived exactly on time and did not come late.”

Gu Xijiu slightly nodded and turned to Lan Zhaoer and the rest, ”Have you heard it? I arrived here as promised and exactly on time. How could you say that I’m arrogant?”

The ladies, ”…”

Lan Zhaoer, ”…You, you came later than His Majesty.”

”That’s grace from His Majesty and I’m grateful for that. But from your tone, you seem to feel unhappy that His Majesty came late?”

This exaggerated charge caused Lan Zhaoer to have cold sweat broke out on her forehead and she knew that Gu Xijiu caught her grammatical mistake, hence, she quickly refuted, ”No, I don’t! Don’t you dare to simply point your finger at me! I…I definitely don’t mean it!”

Gu Xijiu laughed, ”I? How dare you use ‘I’ in front of His Majesty? This is not as simple as arrogant but committed the sin of being disrespectful already!Now I know how courteous you are!”

Lan Zhaoer, ”…”

Her forehead was filled with drops of sweat and when she opened her mouth wanted to say something, she was stopped by her father, Prime Minister Lan, harshly, ”Stupid, shut up!”

Lan Zhaoer was shocked and dared not speak again.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Lan kowtowed towards the emperor to apologize on behalf of his daughter.

This sin of being disrespectful could be serious that one would be beheaded instantly or non-serious that could be ignored.

The emperor chose to ignore and waved his hand, ”Though your daughter is disrespectful but she is after all, still young. It’s alright.”

Therefore, the Prime Minister Lan gratefully kowtowed again.
