Chapter 104: What Was Going On?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Did the Crown Prince have a pair of eyes which could scan through her clothes and skin to see her real features? That was impossible, right?
Theoretically, he should not be able to recognize her.
However, Rong Jialuo was slightly evil. Despite there being so many sisters who dressed up like colorful flowers, Rong Jialuo kept looking at Gu Xijiu even though her other sisters were more beautiful than her.
Rong Jialuo had outstanding features. He was handsome and charming with a pair of beautiful eyebrows and sharp eyes. He looked elegant and well-respected as well.
Rong Yan was also considered a handsome guy, and he looked gentlemanly. However, his charms were diminished when he sat together with the Crown Prince. It was just like a firefly being compared to the moonlight.
General Gu had eight daughters (including Gu Xijiu), but there were only six of them who joined the dinner. The other two girls were still too young to join the dinner, and they were under the care of the mistresses.
Besides Gu Xijiu, Gu Tianqing, and Gu Tianyi, the rest of the sisters had never met the Crown Prince. They only heard that he was a leader and was also among the top four charming guys in the capital city. Initially, they thought everyone was just trying to kiss his butt due to his identity and status. However, their heartbeats were notably quicker when they met him.
They used to think the Eighth Prince was the most handsome guy in the world, but when they saw the Crown Prince, they realized he could even beat Rong Che. Rong Che was gentle and polite just like the students of [1] Wu Yi during the period of the Wei and Jin Dynasty.
Rong Jialuo on the other hand, was cold but elegant, just like flowers which grew on top of the hills. They were truly precious. Even if he did not do anything, his character had influence everyone to pay their best respect. He was born to be the king and was able to make everyone kneel in front of him.
The handsome Crown Prince was on a different level. Even an act of holding a wine glass was enough to make the Gu sisters scream in their hearts! On the outside, however, they were quite well behaved and managed to control their passion and desires. Their eyes would steal a glance or two every once in a while, and they quickly looked down when their gazes coincidentally met the Crown Prince’s eyes.
Initially, Gu Xietian ordered his helper to tell the daughters to wear a lighter makeup to prevent them from being selected. However, it was the other way around when they came to the hall. Everyone put on a heavy makeup and donned their best dress.
Gu Xietian was mad, but he could not express it in front of his guests. He knew that his daughters were all beautiful and they looked even prettier after putting on their makeup and nice dress. He was worried throughout the dinner as he did not want the Crown Prince to fall for any of them.
To his surprise, the Crown Prince was not interested in his five beautiful daughters but kept his eyes on his ugliest daughter, Gu Xijiu. He realized the Crown Prince had taken a few glances at Gu Xijiu throughout the dinner and even invited her to sit beside him.
Gu Xietian thought the Crown Prince was trying to be nice and gentlemanly at first, but now, he could not be so certain.
