At a table next to it, sitting seemed to be a pair of twin sisters, whispering at this time, and even the tone was exactly the same:

"Sister, look, it's the prince and King Su, they actually came together. ”

"Yes, yes, there are also the three princes, I really didn't expect that the three princes, who have never attended such banquets, actually came, so it seems that the three princes must be in good health. ”

The one who was called "sister" pouted and muttered: "What's so good about the third prince, and his body is not good, where can he be as good as the crown prince and King Su?"

It can be heard that one of the two sisters values the crown prince and King Su, and the other loves the third prince.

The three princes mentioned by the sisters are the third son of the emperor, Concubine Mei. Concubine Mei was very favored by the Son of Heaven when she was alive, but the sky was not good-looking, and the third prince suffered a premature birth in July when she was pregnant, and died of a blood collapse.

The premature birth of the three princes is very weak, the congenital disease is very obvious, since the day of birth has been the decoction of medicine, in private there have been jokes that the three princes are really the biological son of the current emperor, even the disease is so similar.

The emperor cared for the old feelings, sympathized with the weak, and pointed out a concubine who had nothing to raise the three princes, this concubine also did her best, more than ten years, in addition to the weak body, the three princes did not go out or fall into the pond, or were injured by poisoned arrows accidents, and lived peacefully to the age of eighteen.

Because of his body, the three princes rarely attend such banquets, and even in the palace, if they do not encounter major events such as worshipping the sky, the three princes rarely step out of their palace. This time, being able to come out to watch the ceremony like an ordinary person proves that after several years of recuperation, the physical condition of the third prince has also returned to normal.

Gu Zhirong looked at the two sisters next to him very seriously for a while, and suddenly felt a little sympathy for the younger sister. To be honest, the crown prince and King Su are not the ideal objects for all Huaichun girls, the inherent outcome determined by the identity background cannot be changed, one is the successor of the future world, and the other is the legal heir of Yuedi, but anyone who has ambitions is destined not to be single-minded to you in his life.

And the three princes are different, in the palace, due to the death of their mother, the three princes have no power, no power, no support, no ambition, at most they are idle princes. If there is no ambition, there is no threat, and in the royal family, it is the root of avoiding disaster.

So Gu Zhirong thought that the life of the elder sister would definitely be much better than that of the younger sister.

After thinking about it, he suddenly thought of a letter from Lu Gongzi he received last night, he learned that he was going to participate in such a wine tasting competition, and his words were full of worries and concerns about himself, and he kept repeating that she must be careful. At this moment, a warm feeling floated in Gu Zhirong's heart.

She kind of likes this kind of pen pal-like way of caring, which is a long stream. A person without ambition may be the guarantee of stability for a lifetime that she desires.

The greatest ambition of the eldest prince of Lu is to enter the imperial examination. Even if you can't get into the office, it's okay to open a private career and be a teacher or something. She has her own way to keep food and clothing worry-free, and she and him don't have too many ups and downs in this life, just be stable.

She can't ask him to do too much for her, after all, it is not easy for the eldest son of Lu, a much-excluded son-in-law, who chooses such a thorny path as a scientific expedition to break through, and study until dawn night and night, just to get ahead, and the hard work is indescribable. If he was destined to be her future husband, she thought, she was willing to pay more for him.

"Sister, the game is on. The "sister" next to her whispered excitedly, interrupting Gu Zhirong's thoughts. She looked over to the stage, and the game had officially begun, and at some point, a whole row of long tables had been set up, and on them were all the necessary utensils for wine tasting, and strange shaped glasses, many of which were glow-in-the-dark glasses for wine use.

The rules of the competition are as follows: first, the bartender mixes the wine, pours it into a vessel for the contestants and the judges to taste, and then the contestants write the name of the concocted wine on a piece of paper, and the bartenders and judges judge it, and the correct and wrong answers are recorded, and after the 24 kinds of wine have been tasted, the winner with the most correct answers is determined.

Seeing the contestants walking onto the stage without hesitation, and a few of them actually poured a large glass of wine for the sake of accuracy, and their cheeks turned red from drinking, Gu Zhirong couldn't help but secretly admire these bold Jokhang women in his heart. And standing on the side, he looked at his own young lady with worried eyes, can his own young lady really get through this level safely and without danger?

When the tenth contestant stepped off the stage, someone suddenly stood up, and a clear and pleasant voice rose in the garden, unhurried: "Everyone, this kind of competition is so boring, why don't you change to a new way of playing?"

As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion at the bottom.

Gu Zhirong was very familiar with this voice, and turned his head to see that it was Gu Yuanfang, the second Miss Gu who was sitting not far away. Her heart couldn't help but "Gedden", she was already nervous enough to participate in this competition today, but she didn't expect to change the rules, isn't this going to kill her?

Cai Qing beside him muttered, "Second Miss, what are she going to do?" her voice trembled, and her face changed.

Gu Zhirong vaguely felt that there was something wrong, it stands to reason that this cheating plan was made by Miss Four with her in private, and no third party knew about it except for Miss Four and a few personal girls in her room. But thinking of the abnormal behavior of the second miss when she went out this morning and now, it seems that the second miss knows their plan very well, as if she came to sabotage their plan.

Which link leaked the news?

In a blink of mind, she turned her gaze to the fourth lady sitting next to her. The fourth young lady's expression seemed to be very surprised, and she looked in the direction of the second young lady in a daze, and did not react for a while.

Didn't Miss Four know about it?

Gu Zhirong was puzzled, and the second lady was already talking about her thoughts: "Everyone, the test of wine tasting is the level of your wine tasting, and the more difficult it is, the better it can reflect the winner." Now I suggest that the rules be changed, instead of the bartender helping to bart, the contestants can choose their own opponents to mix for each other, what do you think?"

There was another commotion at the bottom, and the contestants on the stage did not react much, and the bartender on the scene who reacted the most was a little discouraged, and he suddenly changed from the busiest person in the audience to the most useless person.

When the second young lady said such words, Gu Zhirong was looking at her with a novel gaze. What Gu Zhirong didn't expect was that the second sister, who had always regarded herself as high and liked to go straight in everything, would have such scheming.

Having contestants be each other's bartenders closes the loophole for cheating. The second lady's cleverness lies in the fact that she did not expose Gu Zhirong's intention to cheat on the spot with her straightforward personality in the past, but used another method to easily and skillfully block the idea that the fourth lady gave Gu Zhirong. not only preserved the reputation of the Marquis of Yuanning, hit herself, but also won the title of "Dagong and Selfless" for herself, which can really be described as killing three birds with one stone.

On the other hand, Ms. 2's proposal was not unfair. Let the participants kill each other, so that the game is more interesting and exciting.

Sure enough, there was only a commotion for a while, and many people nodded in agreement: "Just follow the second sister of the Gu family, change the rules." ”
