Taking the initiative to remarry! The crazy prince is obsessed with me
Chapter 82: Troublemaking Gu Zhilan
Shen Xiyue's heart tightened. She silently put down the tea bowl in her hand and looked towards the door.
The family of the Minister of Works, Gu's family - this is the new identity that King Yao arranged for Gu Zhilan.
finally come.
The people who were talking and laughing in the garden, upon hearing the singing and shouting, all looked over at the same time, and the laughter gradually died down.
One reason was that the daughters of the Gu family had a good reputation. The eldest daughter became the concubine of King Yao, and the second daughter, Gu Qiong, was known as the most talented woman in the capital. The eulogy she wrote on the anniversary of the death of the previous emperor was selected by the emperor and ordered to be placed in the imperial temple. Then her talent and reputation spread far and wide, and everyone admired her.
The second reason is that after the Duke Qin’s Mansion, Minister Gu’s family also found a daughter.
Although she was a concubine's daughter who was pretending to be a concubine's daughter, countless people were very curious about what kind of person Gu Zhizhi was, who suddenly became a phoenix and rose to fame overnight.
So as soon as the Gu sisters appeared, they attracted everyone's attention.
Shen Xiyue looked at the Gu sisters who were getting closer and closer, took a deep breath, and used indifference to cover up the murderous intent surging in her heart. The corners of her lips curled up slightly, making it impossible to see anything unusual.
Gu Zhilan, Gu Zhilan, since you don’t want to die, I will keep you alive so that you can know what it means to be living a life worse than death.
Gu Qiong walked in front, her steps were fragrant and she looked like a blooming flower as she walked, her eyebrows were half lowered, she looked around gracefully, and there was just the right smile on the corner of her mouth. Although her talent had not yet been displayed, her beauty was already dazzling.
And Gu Zhilan who appeared behind her was so amazing that people opened their eyes wide.
Gu Zhilan was wearing men's clothes. She didn't wear her hair in a bun. Her hair was all loose and gathered behind her head from her forehead. She didn't wear any gold or silver hairpins, only a pink begonia flower on her ear.
She was not as dignified as Gu Qiong in her movements. She walked in in a bohemian and swaggering manner, holding a gourd-shaped wine jug in her hand.
Everyone at the table gasped.
What's the difference between a woman going out with her hair disheveled like this and a savage?
This happened at a banquet in public, and her movements were so wanton and without any etiquette. This was extremely disrespectful to the host!
Although they didn't really want to come to this snow-viewing banquet, the most they could do was gossip about her behind her back. How could they dare to look down on her like she did? She was Princess Huayang, who was personally conferred by the Emperor!
But Gu Zhilan felt very good about herself.
Before she traveled through time, her favorite movie was The East is Red, starring Brigitte Lin. Now, imitating Brigitte Lin's look, she had a vague feeling that she was stirring up the world.
Gu Qiong was at the front and was able to maintain a smile at first, but when she saw everyone's eyes, she immediately felt that she had been implicated and turned into a monkey in the troupe. She bit her lip, hurriedly saluted Shen Xiyue, and then without even looking at Gu Zhilan who was following her, she fled into the table.
Gu Zhilan walked forward slowly, looked up at Shen Xiyue, and seemed to have not yet learned how to salute. She just bent her knees slightly, straightened her waist, raised her chin high, waved at Shen Xiyue, and smiled sweetly:
"Um, Princess, nice to meet you, hello~"
There was a hint of frivolity in her eyes, and when she smiled, a pair of innocent dimples appeared on her face, and she thought she was very friendly.
At this time, Gu Zhilan seemed to no longer take Shen Xiyue seriously.
Originally, she thought that she couldn't be with Qi Xun openly because it was all Shen Xiyue's fault for using the Shen family's military power to force a marriage, so she still had some hatred towards Shen Xiyue.
But ever since Shen Xiyue and Qi Xun divorced, Gu Zhilan's resentment had dissipated a lot, and she even felt grateful, thinking that Shen Xiyue was very sensible in giving up her position.
But now that she has gone through the Jiangnan incident, she has the opportunity to "start over" by relying on King Yao, and she has become even more arrogant!
See, she said she was the girl of destiny.
No matter she was escaping from the mountains in Hangzhou City, escaping from a brothel in Jinhai City, or avoiding beheading at the Caishikou execution ground, God was always on her side, allowing her to escape danger no matter what!
She insisted on attending the banquet today, firstly to see Qi Xun, and secondly to take this opportunity to completely put the past behind her.
She wants to use her new identity as Gu Zhizhi to perform well at the snow-viewing banquet hosted by Shen Xiyue and make a name for herself again!
Gu Zhilan felt so happy just thinking about it that she said hello and before she even put her hand down, everyone at the table burst into laughter.
Especially the Sixth Princess Murong Jing, who was always dignified and self-restrained, could not help but say with great contempt: "The young ladies of the Gu family, one is raised in a deep mansion, and the other is raised outside. The rules of etiquette are also in the sky, and the other is in the mud."
Someone nearby immediately covered his mouth and sneered, "That's right, how could a talented woman like Gu Qiong have a sister like her?"
"How can a concubine not have some special abilities? Maybe Miss Gu's mother is also so shockingly barbaric, and now Miss Gu has learned it too!"
Gu Zhilan's smile froze on her face in an instant.
She originally thought that she had changed her identity and became the daughter of a second-rank minister. Although she was a concubine's daughter, she was no longer a peasant girl or a brothel girl, and she would receive some flattery today.
But the noble sons and daughters of the aristocratic families present at the banquet were all from noble families with distinguished family backgrounds. How could they look down on a young lady who was raised from a concubine to a concubine, and a person like this who behaved so unrestrainedly and shockingly as soon as she appeared on the stage!
Everyone's contemptuous gazes fell on Gu Zhilan. She heard what was said, but Gu Zhilan did not think she was wrong.
She felt that she had the freedom to dress however she wanted, and what's more, the way she dressed so tightly was already in line with the times!
Those who look at her strangely are the most hypocritical.
Everyone says that they are the one who knows the rules and etiquette the best, but they don’t even know the most basic respect.
As she thought this in her heart, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Without waiting for Shen Xiyue, who was sitting at the host seat, to speak, she walked towards the female guests' seats with her head held high, thinking that she would perform well at the banquet and let these guys who looked down on others see what she is capable of!
But the noble ladies in the female guest seats avoided her as if she were the plague and stayed away from her. Not only that, even her nominal biological sister Gu Qiong was so angry that her eyes turned red and she ignored her completely.
But Gu Zhilan seemed to be blind. Seeing that others were avoiding her, she took the opportunity to sit down at an empty seat.
Jiang Ruyin, the daughter of the Minister of War, had always been on good terms with Gu Qiong. She couldn't stand it and said bluntly:
"Miss Gu San, don't you know that the noble families rise and fall together? Since you have returned to the Gu family to recognize your ancestry, you should also consider the face of your sisters. You are walking around in tattered clothes and shamelessly. Not only will you be ridiculed, but you will also lose face for your eldest sister and the Gu family!"
Gu Zhilan blinked, not taking her words to heart at all, and said casually: "You are young, but you are so nosy. Do you live by the sea?"
Jiang Ruyin was so angry at her scoundrel behavior that she was speechless. Her fingers were shaking and she couldn't say anything.
Gu Qiongmang, perhaps knowing that Gu Zhilan had someone behind her, quickly reached out and pulled Jiang Ruyin: "Forget it, Sister Jiang, don't bother with her."
Jiang Ruyin said indignantly: "Aqiong, how can you tolerate her like this?"
Gu Qiong sighed: "What can I do... Even my father protects her! Forget it, I just hope she won't cause trouble and won't get me into trouble..."
Before he finished his words, he heard shouting outside, and another guest had arrived.
Then, before she even had time to sit down, Gu Zhilan excitedly stood up, smiling, and waved to the man who had just limped in from outside:
"Qi Xun, you're here~"
