Chapter 379 Zhou Mu's Birthday Ceremony

   Zhao Wang saw that the scene was silent, which was different from the excitement he had imagined, and he was a little confused for a while.

  He asked weakly: "Don't you think the idea that this king came up with this year is very interesting?"

   Zhou Mu opened his lips indifferently: "The third brother is indeed quite creative, but most of the girls and gentlemen present here are unmarried people. If this matter gets out today, I'm afraid it will damage everyone's reputation."

  Seeing Zhou Mu's words, Zhao Wang was dumbfounded for a moment, and looked at Gu Xiyan for help.

Received Zhao Wang's eyes asking for help, Gu Xiyan smiled slightly: "Your Highness's words are also reasonable, but the third brother's idea is good, I think the third brother can slightly change the content on the peach blossom paper. Just grasp this It should be harmless. For example, the content of the peach blossom note just now can be changed to 'what type of person do you like', which will be more appropriate, what do you think?"

   Zhao Wang looked at Gu Xiyan with adoring eyes: "Sister-in-law said yes, I will change the content right now."

  Sister-in-law is too powerful, she dispelled the concerns raised by brother Huang with just a few words.

  At the moment, he still took out all the peach blossom papers for Gu Xiyan to have a look at. After Gu Xiyan read it, he changed the inappropriate parts a little, so that it became interesting and not out of bounds.

  Later, Zhou Mu also came over to join in the fun. After reading the content on the peach blossom note, his eyes flickered slightly, and he specially wrote a peach blossom note himself.

  Gu Xiyan curiously wanted to read what he wrote, but was stopped by him: "Madam, sit back first, my third brother and I have some private things to say, come over after we finish."

  After he said this, Gu Xiyan had no choice but to sit back in her original seat.

   Not long after, Zhou Mu sat beside Xiyan, seeming to be in a good mood.

   "What did the son and the third brother say, so happy?" Gu Xiyan stepped forward and asked, her eyes filled with question marks.

  Zhou Mu suppressed the raised corners of his lips: "Since it's something private, it's not good for a husband to tell Madam."

  Gu Xiyan saw him putting on airs, and couldn't help but pat him on the arm to vent her anger.

   Zhou Mu only took her as a tickle, but held her soft and boneless little hand, "Don't make trouble. This is in public, madam, remember to save some face for your husband."

  Gu Xiyan looked back, and saw Mai Zi and Wang Yuying looking at her enviously.

  Wang Yuying leaned closer to her and whispered: "His Royal Highness loves the prince and concubine so much."

   If it is true that the princess concubine is skilled in controlling her husband, how great would it be if her future husband could pamper her like this?

  Gu Xiyan looked slightly embarrassed, unable to answer for a while.

   Just as the Qushui Liushang was about to start, Zhou Xing and Liu Chaoyan suddenly appeared in the Taolin Canal.

   As the host, Zhao Wang certainly couldn't ignore Qin Wang and his wife, so he led them to their seats.

  Zhou Xing wanted to sit down next to Gu Xiyan, but Zhou Mu was on her right, and Wang Yuying and the others were on her left. Later, he retreated and took the first seat opposite Gu Xiyan.

  After Zhou Xing appeared, although there was nothing wrong with Zhou Mu's expression, Gu Xiyan knew that Zhou Mu's good mood just now was gone.

  She felt unlucky in her heart, today was her and Zhou Mu's birthdays, they were originally happy, but Zhou Xing's arrival made the couple's mood fall to the bottom.

   Fortunately, the Qushui Liushang started soon, and Gu Xiyan's attention was diverted.

  While everyone was waiting nervously, the wine glass slowly flowed down the water, barely stopping in front of Zheng Wanqing, and there was thunderous applause.

Zheng Wanqing sat at the lower head of King Zhao, and the superior one was the honorable one. Originally, the position of King Zhao was intended to be given to Zhou Mu and his wife. Because of Gu Xiyan's proposal, Zhou Mu and Gu Xiyan sat in the middle of the canal. .

  Seeing that Zheng Wanqing got the first peach blossom paper, Gu Xiyan was also curious about the content on the peach blossom paper.    Zheng Wanrong picked up the peach blossom paper, raised her lips and said: "If you meet someone you really like, but reality doesn't allow it, will you pursue it bravely?"

  Gu Xiyan heard it clearly, her eyebrows moved slightly.

   This is the peach blossom note written by Zhao Wang, I don't want to be drawn by Zheng Wanqing.

   If there is no accident, Zheng Wanqing fell in love with Zhou Mu at first sight today. But Zhou Mu got married and was also Zhou Xing's political opponent, while Zheng Wanqing was Zhou Xing's cousin.

   It just so happened that the peach blossom note that Zheng Wanqing drew was a realistic portrayal of Zheng Wanqing, and she was also curious about what answer Zheng Wanqing would give.

  After Zheng Wanqing heard the content of Taohuajian, she took a quick look at Zhou Mu, and Gu Xiyan just caught this detail.

  In the end, everyone did not wait for Zheng Wanqing's answer, and she chose to drink peach blossom wine.

  Everyone was thoughtful when they saw this scene.

  Everyone is looking forward to Zheng Wanqing's answer, but Zheng Wanqing chooses to drink. This attitude is nothing more than avoiding this question. In other words, this question stumped Zheng Wanqing.

   Gu Xiyan was observing Zhou Mu's expression, Zhou Mu saw her looking over and asked, "What kind of eyes are you looking at?"

  Gu Xiyan pretended to be stupid: "What's wrong with my eyes?"

  I can only blame myself for being stingy, knowing that Zhou Mu is unlikely to be interested in Zheng Wanqing, but still worried that Zhou Mu will be attracted by Zheng Wanqing's talent.

   "The way you look at me is weird, I don't like it when you look at me like this." Zhou Mu couldn't tell what it was like, but Gu Xiyan's questioning eyes made him unhappy.

   Just at this moment, the wine glass was flowing down the water, and someone got the peach blossom paper again. This time, the peach blossom paper owner answered the question readily and caused a roar of laughter.

   After several people passed by like this, the wine glass dangled and floated down, and finally stopped in front of Zhou Mu.

  Suddenly, Zhou Mu became the focus of everyone's attention.

   Gu Xiyan leaned forward curiously, Zhou Mu looked at her with a smile that was not a smile, and whispered to her ear: "Madam, I beg you to be my husband. As a husband, I can let Madam take a peek."

  Gu Xiyan felt that he was not a gentleman in front of her, and he could do such a thing as threatening her.

  She pushed Zhou Mu away a little, and she didn't look at it, what's the big deal?

  Zhou Mu glanced at the flower note, and read out the content on the flower note: "There is someone you like at the scene. If she is among them, what would you most like to say to her?"

   As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on Gu Xiyan's face.

The content of the flower note was set by Gu Xiyan and Zhao Wang together. Gu Xiyan remembered that there was no such content on the original flower note, so it was likely that Zhou Mu herself added it later. No wonder she didn’t show it to her. It turned out to be here wait for her.

  The wine glass is still in his hands, how did he control the wine glass? Soon Gu Xiyan remembered that he had deep inner strength, and it should be easy for him to control the marked wine glass.

  At this moment Qi Zhiyuan appeared, holding something in his hand, covered by a cloth scarf.

   Zhou Mu stepped forward to uncover the cover, and took out the birthday gift that had been prepared for Gu Xiyan, which was a crescent sapphire jade cloud with a tassel treasure hairpin.

Baochai is made of the best sapphire. The most eye-catching thing is the beautiful sunset flower on Baochai, which is embedded with several rubies. Even the tassels are made of countless gemstones. All gemstones are carved into the shape of sunset flowers.
