The Emperor glanced at Rong Chu. He was still angry that Rong Chu did not give him face just now. He purposely said, "Fourth brother, did you not want to …"
Before he could finish his sentence, Rong Chu interrupted him, "Father wanted to arrange Miss Xijiu to sit next to me just now. There is no need to change it now. Miss Xijiu has a high status, so you can't just pick a random seat. It is more appropriate for you to sit here. "
He was afraid that Gu Xijiu would reject him, so he walked down from the table and held her hand.
Gu Xijiu stepped back smoothly. Rong Chu did not even touch her clothes, let alone hold her hand!
Gu Xijiu took a step back and coincidentally retreated to Rong Che's direction. She seemed to have tripped and her body staggered slightly. She happened to sit beside Rong Che.
Rong Che held her with one hand and smiled, "Thank you, Miss Gu. Please have a seat."
His palm was warm, and it felt like there was a warm current flowing on her wrist.
Gu Xijiu quietly withdrew her hand and smiled, "Thank you."
Her heart skipped a beat. She didn't want to sit here just now, but when she retreated here, her leg accidentally touched the corner of the table, and then she felt numb. If she didn't sit down, she would probably fall directly into the arms of this Eighth Marquis!
Was it a coincidence? Or did the Eighth Prince secretly play tricks?
The possibility of him secretly playing tricks was not high, right?
She knew the Kung Fu of the Eighth Prince. He was slightly better than Rong Chu but slightly worse than Rong Jialuo. He should not have such a precise calculation ability.
With his Kung Fu, she should be able to detect it if he secretly made a move.
It seemed to be a coincidence.
Rong Chu was embarrassed. He stood there with a dark face, but he could not get angry. He stared at Gu Xijiu and smiled, "So, Miss Gu likes the seat next to the Eighth Prince."
Gu Xijiu smiled, "The wine on the table is good." She poured a glass of wine and took a sip.
Rong Chu was speechless. Was the wine not the same?! Excuses!
He could not vent his anger, so he flicked his sleeves and returned to his seat.
When Gu Xijiu saw the Emperor's secret arrangement, she knew that the gossip that she heard at the teahouse was true. The Emperor really wanted to pair her and Rong Chu together.
In that case, she could only deal with whatever came her way.
If she really had no other choice, she would use the plan that Rong Jialuo had discussed with her.
Rong Che's table was next to Rong Jialuo's, and Gu Xijiu's seat was also very close to him.
Rong Jialuo smiled and raised his glass to her. Gu Xijiu also raised her glass to him.
Crown Prince Rong Jialuo had always been cold and arrogant. It was extremely difficult for people to see him smile. Now that he actually revealed a faint smile, everyone was shocked.
His appearance was incomparably handsome, and his smile was like the first melting of ice and snow, captivating one's heart and soul. Almost all the women present were stunned!
Of course, he did not feel good in his heart.
Most of these women were daughters of important officials in the imperial court. Many of their fathers' ranks were higher than Gu Xietian's.
Of course, they had heard the rumors about Gu Xijiu. She was a loser with an ugly reputation.
In their eyes, Gu Xijiu used to be the symbol of idiocy. Looking down on her would be an honor.
Who would have thought that the person they usually looked down on would have such a big change of fortune!
Not only did he know medicine, but he was also a disciple of The Lord.
Initially, they comforted themselves by thinking that it did not matter even if Gu Xijiu was The Lord's disciple.
An ugly appearance would not win a man's favor.
