Chapter 378 Ancient Version Truth or Dare

  As soon as Zhou Mu and Gu Xiyan appeared, everyone stepped forward to salute them.

  Their husband and wife are good-looking, the ladies like to watch Zhou Mu, and the sons of the aristocratic family are quietly watching Gu Xiyan.

   No wonder people say that Gu Xiyan is a peerless beauty. It is true that being famous is not as good as seeing her at first sight. The rumors are not exaggerated.

  Zhou Mu held Gu Xiyan's hand the whole time, and Zhao Wang was very popular, so he chose the most eye-catching position for the couple.

Zhou Mu was planning to sit down with Gu Xiyan, but when Gu Xiyan saw Zheng Wanqing sitting next to her, her eyes flickered slightly, and she thought that the Zheng sisters were quite respectable in front of King Zhao, otherwise they wouldn't be next to each other King Zhao took his seat.

  She glanced at it, and whispered to Zhou Mu: "Shall we sit next to Miss Wang?"

   Zhou Mu has always been responsive to Gu Xiyan's requests, and today he is under the watchful eyes of everyone, of course it is impossible for him to refuse her request.

   "Listen to you." When Zhou Mu looked at Gu Xiyan, his eyes were focused, and deep in his eyes was a tenderness that he couldn't even detect.

  Zheng Wanqing was standing very close to Zhou Mu, clearly seeing the tenderness in his eyes, which was quite different from his haughty and lonely appearance just now standing among the noisy crowd.

  Before meeting Zhou Mu, rumors about Zhou Mu had spread throughout the capital.

  Some people say that Zhou Mu looks like a fairy, but he is cold and detached, with a strong aura, an existence that cannot be reached.

   Such a legendary flower of Gaoling is gentle and focused when looking at his wife. What a blessing to be able to marry such a man?

  She tried her best to suppress her beating heart, not daring to peek at Zhou Mu anymore, she only looked down at her own toes.

   It wasn't until Zhou Mu led Gu Xiyan to a place a few seats away from her and sat down that she finally seemed to be able to breathe freely.

   "Second Sister, how is it?" Seeing Zheng Wanqing's pale face, Zheng Wanrong couldn't help feeling a little worried.

  She suspected that everyone's attention was on Zhou Mu and Gu Xiyan, which took away the light of the second sister and made the second sister feel uncomfortable.

  Zheng Wanqing pulled out a smile and looked at the dazzling sunlight in the sky: "I'm fine."

   It's just that I was tempted by an inappropriate man. A person like His Highness should be the object of admiration of many noble women, and it would not be uncommon for her to be one more.

   "I still think the second sister is prettier than the imperial concubine." Zheng Wanrong whispered to Zheng Wanqing.

  Zheng Wanqing's eyes lacked focus: "The princess is distinguished and beautiful, what can I compare with the princess? Don't talk foolishly in the future, especially in places where there are many people talking, talk less, do less and make less mistakes."

  If Zhou Mu becomes the crown prince in the future, and Qin Wang's cousin fails to win the throne, the Zheng family will not be able to do it alone. Obviously Zhou Mu is a person who stands in opposition to the Zheng family, but she is attracted to such a person, how ridiculous?

  Zheng Wanrong snorted dissatisfiedly, but said nothing more.

  Looking at Gu Xiyan and Zhou Mu, since they took their seats, Gu Xiyan took the initiative to chat with Wang Yuying and the others.

  Mai Zi felt sorry for Gu Xiyan last time at the Princess's Mansion, fearing that Gu Xiyan would take revenge, so she had to try to reduce her sense of existence, hoping that Gu Xiyan would not find her.

   But her prayers were useless, Gu Xiyan suddenly looked at her and asked, "I wonder if Miss Azi has received the invitation I sent?"

   She also heard about the last time she was in the Princess's Mansion. After she and Zhou Mu left, the fact that Mai Zi and Wang Yuying attacked Liu Chaoyan left a deep impression on her.

  Adding that Mai Zi's father is the Minister of the Household Department, of course she also invited Mai Zi to participate in the Zhou Mansion's flower viewing feast.

  Mai Zi is worrying about this matter.

  She was afraid that Gu Xiyan invited her to the flower viewing banquet to intentionally humiliate her, and wondered whether she should excuse her illness and not go to the flower viewing banquet.    At this moment, Gu Xiyan asked her in front of everyone, can she say that she is sick and cannot go?

Of course, Gu Xiyan didn't know about Mai Zi's mental activities, she said directly: "There will be many ladies from famous families coming to play, if Miss Azi and Miss Wang are free, you might as well come and walk around, then I will invite the cook from Jixiang Building to go The mansion has also invited the Yayin Opera Club to come to the mansion to sing, there will be delicious food and fun, everyone is welcome to come and play."

  Wang Yuying's eyes lit up when she heard that the cook from Jixianglou had also invited her: "The little girl must be free, and Ah Zi will go with the little girl then. Ah Zi, right?"

  Mai Zi:…

  Gu Xiyan looked at Mai Zi with a gentle smile: "Miss Ah Zi won't excuse her illness and refuse to come, will she?"

  Mai Zi:…

Wang Yuying didn't know what Mai Zi was thinking at all, and quickly spoke for Mai Zi: "How is it possible? Ah Zi is in very good health. My daughter has known Ah Zi for these years, and I have never seen her feel unwell. Don't worry, princess, At that time, the little girl will definitely come to enjoy the flowers with Ah Zi, and it would be great if I can taste the secret palace meal prepared by the cook of Jixianglou on that day."

  Gu Xiyan couldn't help but smile: "There should be secret palace meals, but it's a matter of more or less."

  Hearing this, Wang Yuying's eyes sparkled, and she chatted with Gu Xiyan enthusiastically.

  Mai Zi watched from the side and felt that her friend was a naive one. The princess and concubine just used delicious food to win her favor, maybe she was sold by others and still counting money.

  But a person like Gu Xiyan, who became a prince and concubine, is still so kind and has no airs at all. She is really likable.

  Plus she looks so good-looking, seeing her face will also improve my mood.

  His Royal Highness, the eldest prince, held the hand of the prince and concubine the whole time, not cold at all, but instead greeted the prince and concubine, a proper warm man.

   After all the banquet participants sat down on both sides of the canal, Zhao Wang announced the game of Qushui Liushang this time.

   Zhao Wang is a well-known dude prince in the capital, and he is also the sponsor of the Qushui Liushang. Compared with the monotonous games of previous years, Zhao Wang has added some so-called innovations this year, and it is no longer simple poetry and painting.

  For example, whoever receives the glass of wine must complete the task according to the requirements on the peach blossom paper. If you can't finish it, you will be fined to drink five cups of peach blossom wine.

  This year's Peach Blossom Notes have a variety of content, and some of them are very out of the ordinary.

  When everyone heard this, they looked at each other in blank dismay. Didn't expect Qushui Liushang to be able to play such tricks?

Seeing that everyone was dumbfounded, King Zhao proudly took out a piece of peach blossom paper, coughed twice and said: "This is one of the peach blossom papers. I will read the content once, so that everyone can have a bottom line, and everyone listens." alright."

   Everyone's eyes were fixed on Zhao Wang, which gave Zhao Wang a great sense of accomplishment.

   After satisfying everyone's appetite, he raised his voice: "If you had to pick someone from the scene to be your wife or husband, who would you choose?"

  After Zhao Wang finished reading, everyone was dumbfounded.

   Zhou Mu frowned upon hearing this, and subconsciously looked at Gu Xiyan.

  If someone chooses this peach blossom paper and claims to choose Xiyan as his wife, then he will kick Zhao Wang into the ditch to calm him down.

  —

  Haha, King Zhao can still play
