Because she kept swaying in front of Gulin through her dancing movements, twisting her waist and waving her sleeves towards him. Anyone with eyes could see who she was dancing for.

Jiang Xiyu looked at Xu Rong with some surprise as she was posing coquettishly in front of Gulin.

So her target is Gulin?

But in her previous life, Xu Rong was clearly trying her best to enter the palace, so why did she suddenly change her goal in this life?

Could it be that she had met Gulin in Lanruo Temple before, so she had some thoughts about Gulin and therefore changed her target.

In the previous life, Gulin did not appear in Lanruo Temple. To be honest, Gulin was indeed one of the few changes between the two lives.

Jiang Xiyu raised her eyes to look at Gulin opposite her, and saw that he had been drinking with his head down, and seemed not to notice Xu Rong's performance at all. She couldn't help but feel funny in her heart. Why did Xu Rong's clownish behavior look so satisfying?

Suddenly, Gulin raised his head and met her eyes. The smile on Jiang Xiyu's lips was seen by Gulin. Jiang Xiyu withdrew her gaze in panic, and in order to hide her embarrassment, she picked up the wine on the table and drank it all.

But because I drank too quickly, I accidentally choked.

"What's wrong?" Xu Rui asked.

Jiang Xiyu shook her head.

After feeling Gulin's gaze, Xu Rui looked at Gulin and found that his gaze was very complicated. Xu Rui thought of the things in Lanruo Temple, retracted his gaze and gently poured a glass of water for Jiang Xiyu.

"Drink some water and take it easy."

Jiang Xiyu didn't intend to take it, but when she saw Lin Rouyu looking at her, she suppressed her nausea and picked up the cup to take a sip.

Lin Rouyu tightened her lowered hands and picked up a piece of cake to hide her jealousy.

Xu Rui was very satisfied and gave Gulin a provocative look. Gulin withdrew his gaze indifferently and started drinking again.

After Xu Rong finished her dance, Gulin didn't even look at her. He ended this seductive dance with a feeling of loss.

"Clap clap clap."

Gu Wei once again led the applause, praising, "I didn't expect Miss Xu to perform the Colorful Feather Dance so well."

As he spoke, he suddenly looked at Gulin, "What do you think, uncle?"

Gulin looked at Gulin blankly.

Gu Wei repeated, "Uncle, do you think Miss Xu dances well?"

Gulin seemed to have just noticed that there was a woman standing in front of him. He raised his eyes and glanced at her. Xu Rui lowered her head shyly, as if waiting for praise from her beloved man, and her ears were red.

After a while, Gulin said calmly, "It's not very good. It's very ugly."

These words were like a stick, hitting Xu Rong's head hard. She looked up in disbelief, and met his icy cold eyes. She immediately lowered her head in embarrassment, her eyes red.

She had been paying attention to Gulin just now, and he hadn't even looked at her. How could he say she was ugly without hesitation?

Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect Gulin to not give them any face at all.

But thinking that Gulin had always been like this, he quickly figured it out and just looked at Xu Rong as if she was laughing at him. Xu Rui's face was also very ugly because of this scene, but Gulin was a royal family, so they didn't dare to get angry with him. They just frowned and glared at Xu Rong.

Gu Wei had a smile on his face and said helplessly, "Uncle, I originally wanted to grant you a marriage, but you hurt the girl's heart like this. How can I grant you this marriage?"

Xu Rong, who was originally very sad and aggrieved, raised her head in anticipation when she heard the words "arranged marriage".

The purpose of her dance today was to marry Gulin and become the Princess of Qin.

Gulin suddenly frowned and said impatiently, "Once the war in the north is resolved, Your Majesty will have nothing to do and be so idle as to do this kind of matchmaking and boating?"

Gulin's words instantly made the entire hall silent.

Matchmaker and pull the rope?

Isn't that what a matchmaker does?

Matchmakers are of the lowest class. Is the King of Qin saying that Your Majesty is lowly?

Gu Wei's expression suddenly turned ugly, but soon returned to normal, as if he didn't understand the deep meaning of Gu Lin's words. He smiled and said, "The emperor's uncle is already an adult. When my father was alive, he always cared about his marriage. I am also worried about him."

Gulin glanced at Xu Rong and said indifferently, "No matter how urgent the situation is, you can't just eat anything you want."

Xu Rong's face turned pale due to repeated embarrassment, and her hands clenched tightly. All the love she had before turned into hatred.

He really thought he was nothing but a sickly person and a consumptive, yet he dared to humiliate her like this.

When the other people in the hall heard Gulin's words, they were stunned again.

When beating a dog, one must look at the owner. Gulin's words did not give face to the Yonglin Marquisate at all. You know, Xu Rui had just made military achievements, and even the emperor had to give them some face now. But he actually humiliated Xu Rui's own sister in public. Isn't this a slap in Xu Rui's face in public?

However, thinking that Gulin had just scolded Guwei, Xu Rui would not take it seriously.

Gu Wei hadn't expected Gu Lin to be so ruthless. She glanced at the sad Xu Rong and saw Xu Rui's ugly face. She said, "I was a little anxious for your uncle's marriage. You should choose your marriage carefully. Miss Xu danced well today. There will be a generous reward."

Xu Rong's eyes were red as she bowed towards the ancient curtain, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After what Xu Rong did just now, no noble lady dared to perform anymore.

Jiang Xiyu was very happy to see Xu Rong's frustrated look, but she also suddenly discovered that Gulin was not the sick and powerless person he seemed to be.

You have to know that although Gu Wei appears to be kind on the surface, always smiling and easy to talk to, he is a bastard son with an unknown maternal family. He successfully overthrew the legitimate son and the eldest son and sat on the throne of Yun Dynasty. He is definitely not as simple as everyone sees on the surface.

Now Gulin was not afraid of Guwei at all, just like the person in the supreme position. He was not polite to Guwei at all.

This doesn't seem like the education of a younger generation by an elder. You have to know that he is the person with the highest status in Yun Dynasty, and Gulin has to bow in front of him.

Gu Wei is so tolerant of Gu Lin. It must be that Gu Lin has something that Gu Wei is afraid of, otherwise Gu Wei would not have such a good temper.

As the celebration banquet was about to end, Gu Wei suddenly looked at Xu Rui and asked, "I heard that there was a fire at the Yonglin Marquis' Mansion last night?"

Xu Ruiwei was stunned for a moment, as if he had not expected the news to spread so quickly. He quickly stood up and replied, "Yes, it was dry and there was an accidental flood in the mansion last night."

Gu Wei didn't ask for details, but only asked with concern, "Is the loss serious?"

Xu Rui said, "Many houses have been damaged and it will take time to repair them."

Gu Wei nodded in understanding and continued, "Ever since the eldest princess passed away, her residence has been empty. Your family will move to the eldest princess's residence temporarily, and then move back to your Yonglin Marquis's residence after it is repaired."
