Meanwhile, the fourth prince's gang teased, "What kind demeanor does the Crown Prince have!? I am just afraid the Crown Prince would lose his appetite for manners when he has only grass instead of flowers by his side.
What they said was indeed a metaphor to criticize Gu Xijiu as an ugly person.
Gu Xietian was unhappy listening to it, and he could not help but say, "Please be polite when you speak, my little daughter has improved a lot over this short six months..."
Somebody could not help but laugh, "General Gu, do allow me to speak the truth. Everyone is certain that your daughter is indeed talented but for her appearance, haha!"
Somebody asked Rong Che who was somewhat close to Gu Xijiu for the past eight years, "Eight Prince, you should have seen Miss Gu recently, right? Has she changed?"
Rong Yan gave a faint smile, but he did not answer directly, "You will find out once she arrives, what’s the point of arguing about it now?"
At the same time, somebody was reporting from the outside, "The Lord's disciple has arrived."
The chief guest has finally arrived!
Numerous pairs of eyes shifted towards the door.
With the guidance of an imperial maid, a young girl walked in gently.
Then, everyone was stunned!
The young lady who was wearing a fathomless aquamarine colored dress, and looked tall with a beautiful figure, had thin and long eyebrows, slightly curved eye corners, dark black eyes, aquiline nose, elegant shape and delicate red lips whereby its color turns lighter when she slightly purses her lips.
Her waist long dark hair was hanging down loosely, and her forehead had a sapphire jewel glimmering.
She also had a cold and indifferent aura which could chill the heated atmosphere just like rain cooling the surrounding temperature.
She was indeed beautiful and elegant!
She was cold too, like a well-known sword hidden in a sheath!
Among the ladies, it was Lan Zhaoer, daughter of the Prime Minister, the most beautiful lady in the hall but when this young lady entered, she looked nothing special anymore!
Was she Gu Xijiu? The one who was known to be an ugly person?
Un...unbelievable?
It was only six months, and she had changed this much?
Some people could not help but glance at her, wondering if the real main character has not arrived yet.
Some of the people who had good eyesight realized that this young lady did indeed look similar to the girl who was at the Open Heaven Stage while others even saw some vague red spots on her forehead which was difficult to see without careful observation.
While being stared with their brightened and surprised eyes, Gu Xijiu walked to the middle without looking to the sides and paid her respect to the Emperor, "Your Majesty, Xijiu is late, please forgive me."
As she was the Lord's disciple, she could pay a customary respect instead of a profound respect for the Emperor.
The Emperors had brightened eyes too, but a complicated feeling flashed through his eyes.
The current Gu Xijiu was like a beautiful jade shining after its rough outer surface was removed, attracting everyone's attention.
She was not just changed but had become another person!
More importantly, she looked 40%to 50% like Luo Xinglan, and her eyebrows were significantly alike!
The Emperor was indeed kind towards her as he said, "No, you aren't late yet, in fact, you are just on time."
She did indeed arrive on time.
"Xijiu, you may..." When the Emperor wanted to choose a place for Gu Xijiu to sit, Rong Chu suddenly stood up and said, "Father, would you let Miss Xijiu sit by my side?"
The people, "..."
Some people had already looked disgusted especially Lan Zhaoer who was sitting near to Rong Chu!
The Emperor took a glance at Rong Chu as he was still upset at him earlier and said, "Fourth Prince, I thought you said you wanted..."
Before His Majesty could finish his sentence, Rong Chu chimed in quickly, "Father, you wanted to arrange for Miss Xijiu to sit by my side just now; you should not change your mind now. With the current status of Miss Xijiu, it is more suitable for her to sit with me."
He was afraid that Gu Xijiu would reject him and came over himself and wanted to hold her hand.
Gu Xijiu swiftly and quickly stepped backward. Hence, Rong Chu could not even touch her clothes, not even close enough to hold her hand!
Unfortunately, she was moving towards Rong Che and slightly staggered and sat directly beside Rong Che.
Rong Che held her with his arm and smiled, "Thank you Miss Gu for coming, please have a seat."
His palm was warm, and it warmed her wrist.
Gu Xiijiu retrieved her hand calmly and smiled in return, "Thank you."
She was slightly shocked as she did not want to sit there. She just accidentally hit on the table corner and staggered. If she did not sit down, she would have fallen into Rong Che's arms!
Was it an accident? Or was it a trick by the Eighth Prince?
However, the possibility of him tricking her could not be at this level.
After all, she roughly knew the ability of the Eighth Prince's Kung Fu, which was slightly better than Rong Chu but slightly poorer than Rong Jialuo's. Logically, he should not have such an accurate calculation ability.
Besides, with his Kung Fu ability, she could see if he did it in secret.
It seemed like it was only a coincidence.
As Rong Chu failed to get her, he was upset but could not vent his anger. Therefore, he took a glance at Gu Xijiu and forcefully laughed, "So Gu Xijiu desired to sit beside the Eighth Prince."
Gu Xijiu smiled, "The alcohol on this table is good." She poured herself a cup of alcohol and took a sip.
Rong Chu, "..." Was the alcohol not the same? Simply just an excuse!
He was angry but could not vent it. Hence, he waved his sleeve and got back to his table.
As Gu Xijiu saw the arrangement of the Emperor, she knew that the gossip she heard at the cafe was indeed correct that the Emperor wanted to match Rong Chu and her together.
Then, she could only do whatever she could to prevent it from happening.
If she had no choice, she would use the planning that both Rong Jialuo and her agreed before in advance.
Rong Che's table was next to Rong Jialuo's and where Gu Xijiu sat was very near to him.
Rong Jialuo curved the corner of his lips while raising his cup towards Gu Xijiu and she replied by raising up her cup too.
The Crown Prince, Rong Jialuo, had always been so cold that people barely could see his smile. He was unexpectedly smiling faintly. Hence, shocking everyone.
His appearance was already very handsome, but as he smiled, he captured every lady's heart which stupefied them!
They were not feeling good too.
After all, these ladies were daughters of imperial court officials, and many of their fathers ranked higher than Gu Xietian.
Therefore, when they heard about Gu Xijiu, who was not only a useless person but also ugly.
Gu Xijiu was known to be a symbol of stupidity and unworthiness in their opinion.
But, they could not believe that the person they looked down upon could improve so much!
And she had medicinal skills and also became the Lord's disciple.
So they comforted themselves that the ugly Gu Xijiu would not attract any man even if she were a disciple of The Lord.
Therefore, they were delighted when they saw Rong Chu rejecting the Emperor's suggestion.
