However, as soon as Gu Xijiu came in, she almost blinded everyone's eyes, which made their jealousy rise.
Although Rong Chu's behavior made them even more jealous, it was still within their expectations. After all, Rong Chu had always been lustful and had countless concubines.
However, Rong Jialuo had never been close to any woman!
He did not care about any beauty, but now he was smiling at Gu Xijiu! He even raised his glass to her as though he was toasting her!
Based on what? Why did she get all the benefits?!
The jealousy of these women rose, especially Lan Zhaoer, the daughter of the Prime Minister, who was interested in Rong Chu.
After three rounds of drinking, she was the first to make things difficult for Gu Xijiu, "Miss Gu has changed from a sparrow to a phoenix. She has become so arrogant that she doesn't even care about His Majesty anymore."
Gu Xijiu was not anxious, "What do you mean?"
"His Majesty held a banquet for you personally. How great of an honor is that? It's fine if you don't know how to be grateful, but you purposely came late to make His Majesty wait for you! Even the disciple of The Lord shouldn't be so arrogant and rude, right? "
"Yes, yes, too arrogant! She simply doesn't care about anyone!? "
"That's right, it's so annoying."
"Hmph, it's a virtue for a woman to be untalented. You're so arrogant, so what if you're talented and beautiful? You've lost your virtue … "
"…" The ladies agreed and condemned her.
Gu Xijiu listened quietly. After a while, she asked, "Are you done?"
The ladies were speechless.
"Since you're done, I'll say something." Gu Xijiu's voice was calm and she turned to look at the Emperor, "Your Majesty, I remember that the invitation said that His Majesty will hold a banquet at 5pm. Did I remember wrongly?"
The Emperor shook his head, "You're not wrong. The banquet will be held at 5pm. “
Gu Xijiu then asked the eunuch at the door, "Eunuch, when did I come in? Am I late? "
The eunuch looked at the Emperor awkwardly. The Emperor said, "Just tell me the truth."
The eunuch bowed and said, "Miss Gu arrived on time. You're not late."
Gu Xijiu nodded and looked at Lan Zhaoer and the rest. "Did you hear that? I kept my promise and came without any delay. How can I be so arrogant? "
All the women: "…"
Lan Zhaoer said, "You, you came later than His Majesty —"
"That is the favor of Your Majesty, and I am very grateful. But from Miss Lan's tone, it seems that she also dislikes His Majesty for coming late? "
This accusation made Lan Zhao 'er break out in a cold sweat. She knew that the other party had caught her faulty wording. She hurriedly retorted, "I didn't! Don't point fingers randomly! I … I have absolutely no such intention! "
Gu Xijiu laughed, "Me? Miss Lan dares to address herself as' I 'in front of His Majesty? This was not as simple as arrogance. This was a crime of great disrespect! So this is Miss Lan's etiquette, I've learned a lot! "
Lan Zhaoer: "…"
Her forehead was densely covered in beads of sweat. She opened her mouth to say something, but her father, Prime Minister Lan, had already cut her off with a stern voice, "Evil creature, shut up!"
Lan Zhaoer was startled and didn't dare to speak.
Prime Minister Lan knelt in front of the Emperor to apologize for his daughter.
This crime of great disrespect could be serious or minor. If it was serious, he would be beheaded while if it was minor, it could be ignored.
The Emperor chose to ignore it and waved his hand, "Although your daughter was rude, she is still young. You don't have to be calculative with her."
