King Zhao saw that the scene was silent, which was different from the liveliness he thought, and he was a little confused for a moment.
He asked weakly: "Don't you think the creativity I came up with this year is very interesting?"
Zhou Mu opened his lips indifferently: "Third brother is indeed quite creative, but most of the girls and husbands present are unmarried. If this matter is spread today, I am afraid it will damage everyone's reputation."
Seeing Zhou Mu's words, King Zhao was speechless for a moment and looked at Gu Xiyan for help.
Receiving King Zhao's look for help, Gu Xiyan smiled slightly: "Your Highness's words make some sense, but the third brother's creativity 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 could be changed to 'What type of person do you like?' This would be more appropriate. What do you think, third brother?"
King Zhao looked at Gu Xiyan with admiration in his eyes: "Sister-in-law said yes, I will change the content right now."
My sister-in-law is so awesome, she eliminated the concerns raised by the emperor in just a few words.
At that moment, he took out all the peach blossom notes and showed them to Gu Xiyan. After Gu Xiyan read them, she slightly changed the inappropriate parts to make them interesting without going overboard.
Later, Zhou Mu also came over to join in the fun. After reading the content on the peach blossom note, his eyes flashed slightly and he wrote a peach blossom note himself.
Gu Xiyan curiously wanted to see what he wrote, but he stopped her: "Madam, sit back first. My third brother and I have a few private words to say. We will come over after we have finished."
After he said this, Gu Xiyan had no choice but to sit back down.
After a while, Zhou Mu sat looking back at Xiyan, seemingly in a good mood.
"What did Young Master and Third Brother say that they are so happy?" Gu Xiyan stepped forward and asked, her eyes filled with question marks.
Zhou Mu suppressed the raised corners of his lips: "Since these are private words, it's not good for me as a husband to tell my wife."
Seeing how he was putting on airs, Gu Xiyan couldn't help but pat him on the arm to vent her anger.
Zhou Mu just thought she was tickling her and held her soft little hand instead, "Don't make trouble. This is in public. Madam, please remember to save some face for your husband."
Gu Xiyan looked back and saw Mai Zi and Wang Yuying looking at her with envy.
Wang Yuying even came closer to her and whispered: "Your Highness is so doting on the princess."
It is true that the princess is very good at caring for her husband. How great would it be if her future husband could pamper her in this way?
Gu Xiyan looked slightly embarrassed and couldn't answer for a while.
Just when the Qushui Water Drinking Festival was about to begin, Zhou Xing and Liu Chaoyan suddenly appeared in the Taolin Canal.
As the host, King Zhao certainly could not ignore King Qin and his wife, so he invited them to take their seats.
Zhou Xing wanted to sit down next to Gu Xiyan, but to her right was Zhou Mu, and to her left were Wang Yuying and the others. Later, he backed down and took the 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 was gone.
She felt unlucky in her heart. Today was her and Zhou Mu's birthday. The two of them were originally very happy, but when Zhou Xing came, their mood hit rock bottom.
Fortunately, the music flow started soon, and Gu Xiyan's attention was diverted.
While everyone was waiting nervously, the wine glass slowly flowed down the water and stopped in front of Zheng Wanqing. For a moment, there was thunderous applause.
Zheng Wanqing sat at the position below King Zhao. The one with the highest position was the most honored person. Originally, King Zhao's position was intended to be given to Zhou Mu and his wife. Because of Gu Xiyan's suggestion, Zhou Mu and Gu Xiyan sat at about the middle of the canal.
.
Seeing Zheng Wanqing get the first peach blossom note, Gu Xiyan was also curious about the content on the peach blossom note.
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 and her eyebrows moved slightly.
This is the peach blossom note written by King Zhao. I don’t want Zheng Wanqing to get it.
If nothing unexpected happened, Zheng Wanqing fell in love with Zhou Mu at first sight today. But Zhou Mu was married and was Zhou Xing's political enemy, while Zheng Wanqing was Zhou Xing's cousin.
It happened that the peach blossom note that Zheng Wanqing drew was a realistic portrayal of Zheng Wanqing, and she was also curious about what kind of answer Zheng Wanqing would give.
After Zheng Wanqing heard the content of the peach blossom note, she quickly glanced at Zhou Mu, and Gu Xiyan happened to capture this detail.
In the end, no one waited for Zheng Wanqing's answer, and she chose to drink peach blossom wine.
Everyone looked thoughtful when they saw this scene.
Everyone was looking forward to Zheng Wanqing's answer, but Zheng Wanqing chose to drink. This attitude was nothing more than avoiding the 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's that look in your eyes?"
Gu Xiyan pretended to be stupid: "What's wrong with my eyes?"
I can only blame myself for being stingy. I knew that Zhou Mu would not be interested in Zheng Wanqing, but I was still worried that Zhou Mu would be attracted by Zheng Wanqing's talent.
"The way you look at me is weird. I don't like the way you look at me." Zhou Mu couldn't explain how he felt, but Gu Xiyan's questioning look made him unhappy.
At this moment, the wine glasses went down the flowing water, and someone got the peach blossom note again. This time the owner of the peach blossom note answered the question readily and caused a roar of laughter.
After passing a few people in this way, the wine glass swayed downwards, and finally stopped in front of Zhou Mu.
For a time, Zhou Mu became the center of attention.
Gu Xiyan came forward curiously. Zhou Mu looked at her with a half-smile but whispered, "Madam, please be my husband. As a husband, I can let my wife take a peek."
Gu Xiyan felt that he did not look like a gentleman in front of her, and he was not capable of threatening her.
She pushed Zhou Mu away and didn't look at it. What's the big deal?
Zhou Mu took a look at the flower note and read out the content on it: "Is there someone you like here? 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 King Zhao together. Gu Xiyan remembered that there was no such content on the flower note originally, so it was probably added by Zhou Mu himself later. No wonder he didn't show it to her. It turned out to be here.
Wait for her.
The wine glass was still in his hands, how did he control the wine glass? Gu Xiyan soon remembered that he had deep inner strength, and it should be very simple for him to control the marked wine glass.
At this time Qi Zhiyuan appeared, holding something in his hand with a cloth covering it.
Zhou Mu stepped forward to remove the cover and took out the birthday gift he had prepared for Gu Xiyan, which was a crescent moon, sapphire and sunset flower tassel hairpin among the clouds.
Baochai is made of the finest sapphire. The most eye-catching thing is the beautiful sunset flowers on the Baochai, which are inlaid with several rubies. Even the tassels are made of countless gemstones strung together. Take a closer look.
All gems are carved into the shape of sunset flowers.
