As soon as Zhou Mu and Gu Xiyan appeared, everyone stepped forward to salute them.
They are a good-looking couple, the ladies like to watch Zhou Mu, and the young men from aristocratic families are secretly watching Gu Xiyan.
No wonder people say that Gu Xiyan is extremely beautiful and famous. The rumors are not exaggerated.
Zhou Mu held Gu Xiyan's hand throughout the whole process, and because King Zhao was so popular, he chose the most conspicuous position for the couple.
Zhou Mu was about to sit down with Gu Xiyan, but Gu Xiyan saw Zheng Wanqing sitting next to her. Her eyes flashed slightly, and she thought that the Zheng sisters were quite respectable in front of King Zhao, otherwise they would not be next to each other.
King Zhao takes his seat.
She glanced at it and whispered to Zhou Mu: "Shall we sit next to Miss Wang?"
Zhou Mu has always responded to Gu Xiyan's requests, and today he was in full view of the public, so it was certainly impossible for him to refuse her request.
"I listen to you." Zhou Mu looked at Gu Xiyan with focused eyes, deep in his eyes there was tenderness that he could not even detect.
Zheng Wanqing was standing very close to Zhou Mu and could clearly see the tenderness in his eyes, which was very different from the arrogant and aloof look he had just standing in the noisy crowd.
Before meeting Zhou Mu, rumors about Zhou Mu had already spread throughout the capital.
Some people say that Zhou Mu looks like an immortal, but is cold and distant, with a strong aura, making him an unattainable existence.
Such a legendary flower of the high mountains is gentle and attentive when looking at his wife. What a blessing it is to be able to marry such a man?
She tried her best to suppress her racing heart, not daring to peek at Zhou Mu anymore, only looking down at her toes.
It wasn't until Zhou Mu led Gu Xiyan to sit a few seats away from her that she seemed to finally be able to breathe freely.
"Second sister, are you okay?" Zheng Wanrong couldn't help but feel a little worried when she saw Zheng Wanqing's pale face.
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 forced a smile and looked at the dazzling sunshine in the sky: "I'm fine."
It's just that she has fallen in love with an unsuitable man. Someone like Your Highness should be the object of admiration for many noble ladies, so it's not surprising that there is one more like her.
"I still think the second sister is prettier than the princess." Zheng Wanrong whispered to Zheng Wanqing.
Zheng Wanqing's eyes were unfocused: "The prince's concubine has a noble status and is as beautiful as a flower. How can I compare with the prince's concubine? Don't say stupid things in the future, especially in places where there are many people talking. Speak less, do less, and make less mistakes." p>
If Zhou Mu becomes the crown prince in the future and the Qin King's cousin fails to win the throne, the Zheng family will not be able to cope with it alone. Zhou Mu is obviously a figure who is on the opposite side of the Zheng family, but she has fallen in love with such a person. How ridiculous is it? Zheng Wanrong snorted dissatisfiedly, but didn't say anything else.
Looking at Gu Xiyan and Zhou Mu, as soon as they sat down, Gu Xiyan took the initiative to chat with Wang Yuying and the others.
Mai Zi felt sorry for Gu Xiyan at the eldest princess's house last time, and was afraid that Gu Xiyan would hold a grudge, so she had to work hard to reduce her sense of existence, hoping that Gu Xiyan would not find her out.
But her prayers were in vain. Gu Xiyan suddenly looked at her and asked, "I wonder if Miss Azi received the invitation I sent?"
She also heard about what happened at the eldest princess's residence last time. After she and Zhou Mu left, she was deeply impressed by the fact that Mai Zi and Wang Yuying confronted Liu Chaoyan.
In addition, Mai Zi’s father is the Minister of Household Affairs, so of course she will invite Mai Zi to attend the Zhou Mansion’s flower viewing party.
Mai Zi is worried about this matter.
She was afraid that Gu Xiyan wanted to deliberately humiliate her by inviting her over to the flower-viewing banquet, and she was thinking about not going to the flower-viewing banquet because of illness.
At this moment, Gu Xiyan asked her in front of everyone, could she say that she was sick and couldn't go?
Of course, Gu Xiyan didn't know about Mai Zi's psychological activities. She said directly: "There will be many famous ladies coming to play. If Miss A Zi and Miss Wang are free, they might as well come over and have a look. I will invite the cook from Jixiang House to come over then."
The house has also invited the Yayin Opera Club to sing in the house. 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 Jixiang House had also been invited over: "My daughter must be free, A'Zi will go with her then. A'Zi, right?"
Mai Zi:......
Gu Xiyan looked at Mai Zi with a gentle smile: "Miss Ah Zi won't be excused from coming because she's sick, right?"
Mai Zi:......
Wang Yuying had no idea what Mai Zi was thinking and quickly spoke for Mai Zi: "How is that possible? Ah Zi is in very good health. In the years that I have known Ah Zi, I have never seen her feel unwell. Prince Concubine, don't worry.
At that time, my little girl will definitely come with Ah Zi to enjoy the flowers. It would be great if she could taste the secret palace meal prepared by the chef of Jixianglou that day."
Gu Xiyan couldn't help but smile: "There should be some secret meals in the palace, but it's just a matter of more or less."
Wang Yuying's eyes sparkled after hearing this, and she started chatting enthusiastically with Gu Xiyan.
Mai Zi watched from the side and felt that her best friend was a simple one. The princess had just refuted her favor with delicious food, so she might have been sold out and still counting her money.
But for someone like Gu Xiyan, when she became a princess, she was so kind and had no airs. She was really lovable.
In addition, she is so good-looking, so her mood will improve when she sees her face.
The eldest prince beside him held the prince's concubine's hand throughout the whole process. He was not cold at all. Instead, he greeted the prince and concubine in a warm and welcoming manner.
After all the banquet participants sat down on both sides of the canal, King Zhao announced the gameplay of the meandering water drinking cup this time.
King Zhao is a well-known dandy prince in the capital, and he is also the organizer of this meandering game. Compared with the monotonous games in previous years, King Zhao has added some so-called innovations this year, and it is no longer a simple poem and painting. p>
For example, to whomever the wine glass flows to, he must complete the task according to the requirements on the peach blossom note. If he cannot complete the task, he will be punished by drinking five cups of peach blossom wine.
This year's peach blossom notes have a variety of contents, and some of them are very outrageous.
Everyone looked at each other in shock when they heard this. They didn't expect that Qu Liuliu Shang could pull off such a trick?
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 paper. I will read the content once, so that everyone will have a clear understanding. Everyone will listen."
Okay."
Everyone's eyes were fixed on King Zhao, which made King Zhao feel very accomplished.
After whetting everyone's appetite, he raised his voice and said: "If you had to choose someone from the scene to be your wife or husband, who would you choose?"
After King Zhao finished reading, everyone was dumbfounded.
Zhou Mu frowned when he heard this and looked at Gu Xiyan subconsciously.
If someone picked this peach blossom note and said he wanted to choose Xiyan as his wife, he would kick King Zhao into the ditch to calm him down.
