Chapter 43: The Attitude of King Su
I saw that King Su on the opposite side had already raised a glass to her, and she had to raise her glass.
The liquid in the luminous cup was like blood, Gu Zhirong remembered the poem about grape wine and luminous glass, if she regarded the king of Su opposite as the Hun in the poem, she had an urge to pour all the wine in the cup in one go.
However, wine tasting, of course, can't be poured all at once, especially for a girl's family. She looked with some distress at the plain clothes she was wearing, which would have been much easier if she had come to the banquet in a dark dress, at least she could have poured the grapes into her sleeves without being noticed. And now she was wearing a pale shirt, and the wine was so obvious even a little stain, let alone a glass of wine as bright as blood.
She glared at the person in front of her with some sadness and indignation, and it seemed that that person was really the nemesis of her life, and he could restrain her everywhere.
At this time, King Su had already drunk half a glass of wine, and Gu Zhirong had no choice but to raise his glass, cover his mouth with his sleeves, and drink half a cup hard. A wave of heat rushed to her throat, ** spicy, and she felt like tears were about to choke out. The alcohol was on his head, and his face was red.
Gu Zhirong stroked his face in embarrassment, feeling a little panicked in his heart, and he could no longer force himself to compose. This is the case with only a small sip, and if the whole cup goes down, shouldn't you get drunk on the spot?
It seemed that the alcohol was far more potent than she had imagined, and at this time, she could only pray that the sobering medicine she had drunk before would be able to resist it for a while, so that she could drink the wine with her sober spirits, and then sneak away when she went to the toilet and go home to sleep.
"Who said that Miss Gu can't drink? In my opinion, Miss Gu has a good amount of alcohol. The prince's leisurely words came from there.
Gu Zhirong smiled. She knew that this was clearly the prince's intention to make things difficult for her, and she couldn't let the arrogant prince be too proud, right? In her concept, people are not distinguished from high and low, and everyone has self-esteem, isn't it?
Looking at the half cup of wine in her hand, Gu Zhirong gritted her teeth, for her future dignity, for her own freedom, and for herself not to be looked down upon, even if she was drunk, she would drink it!
Before the wine cup reached his lips, he felt that his hands were empty, and his fingers slid over her slightly cool fingertips, and the wine cup had been quietly snatched away by him, and his elegant face was suddenly enlarged in front of him, and a pair of star-like eyes fell into her eyes.
It was only a moment's effort, and she still saw him frown slightly, took her cup and turned around slightly, and actually drank all the wine in her cup.
She froze, looked at him, speechless.
Actually, what she wanted to say was that she had drunk that glass of wine!
What she had drunk, he actually drank without frowning. By the way, doesn't it mean that the more pampered people are, the more they have a habit of cleanliness?!
No one expected such an accident, and they didn't react at all. The prince frowned slightly and said, "Xuande..."
Xuande is the word in King Su's name, and the prince's tone was quite dissatisfied, but there was a trace of helplessness: "Xuande, I really didn't see that you are still a ...... who knows how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade."
Gu Zhirong's face couldn't help but turn even redder, and he was ridiculed and ridiculed in front of everyone, who wants to blame this Su Wang for too many things, it was good, she drank it, and immediately took a leave of absence, didn't she get it? Now it's good, but she has made a lot of things. I really don't know if there will be such a rumor on the streets and alleys of the capital tomorrow: "The cold prince pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, and cares for the admirers of the past, and the relationship between the two has suddenly surged, and it is expected to hold hands......"
As soon as she thought of this, she couldn't help but shudder, if there were really such rumors, she would not want to go out, and as soon as she went out, she would be killed by the eyes of those girls who were obsessed with King Su.
I don't know if it's because of the wine, Gu Zhirong seems to be a little cranky. At this moment, she inadvertently looked to the opposite side, and happened to meet Su Wang's gaze that seemed to be unintentionally cast, and heard him say lightly: "The prince said that he was laughing! I just don't want to keep my tongue and be said that I relied on the title of the prince to bully a weak woman." Besides, it is difficult for a gentleman not to be strong, this Gu girl is wooden by nature, and she has lived in the house for a long time, if I really force her to pour wine, it will really lose my demeanor. ”
Gu Zhi raised his head calmly and stared at him. She's just not like the slick people in the room. Just now she saw that King Su drank the glass of wine for her, and she still had a vague good impression of him in her heart, thinking that he was different from the crown prince and others, but she didn't expect that he still had the same virtue.
King Su had an empty look on his face, and he didn't bother to look at her at all.
Gu Zhirong secretly clenched his fists, and said in his heart, what an arrogant prince, the humiliation you gave me today, I will definitely double it with you in the future!
The three princes on the side suddenly smiled: "King Su is not close to women, everyone knows it." Besides, Miss Gu is young and has lived in the boudoir for a long time, so she should have very few times to go out, right? However, the two sisters of the Gu family should take care of their younger sisters, and the scholarly family of the Marquis of Yuanning, all the young ladies in the boudoir should be outstanding, what do you think, prince?"
The prince snorted coldly and disagreed. The faces of Miss Gu Er and Miss Fourth changed slightly.
In such an atmosphere, the role of the three princes is to play the role of peacemaker and calm things, which is very consistent with the rumors in the palace that the three princes have a soft temperament and value harmony. But listening to his tone, it seemed that he minded a little that the second and fourth young ladies did not bring their younger sister, which made Gu Zhirong unable to deal with such a situation, and it was because they were so nervous.
Miss Gu Er hurriedly said: "What the third prince said is true, our sister is still young and doesn't know much, but it makes the prince and the third prince laugh." Rest assured, when we return home, we will teach you carefully and will not disappoint your kindness. ”
The fourth lady also nodded in agreement.
Gu Zhirong looked at the third prince thoughtfully. Listening to the tone of this prince, there is a great intention to excuse himself, is this prince ...... Is it secretly trying to help yourself?
She glanced at the third prince judgmentally. This is the first time she has seriously looked at the third prince, perhaps because of his long-term weakness, his face is much paler than others, but, perhaps because of this reason, he lacks some of the sharpness of being the pride of the sky, and his smiling face all the year round makes people feel more cordial, so that they forget his identity as a prince.
She smiled at him kindly, thanking him for his kindness.
When the prince saw that the game was over, he couldn't find any fun, and it was very boring, so he drove back to Tai**. At this time, the sky was getting dark, and everyone watched the prince leave, and then they left one after another in the carriages sent by their own palaces.
