Since he said so, GongYimo only nodded and didn't say anything else.
With Gong Dai messing things up, Gong Che definitely didn't have a chance to persuade her anymore. He could only watch as GongYimo and Gong Dai left the palace.
On the way, Gong Dai didn't say a word. He was obviously angry!
GongYimo also felt awkward … She wasn't stupid, she just didn't want to use her brain. However, she was shocked by Gong Che and Gong Dai's recent abnormalities.
Their concern for her … Was it because of their relationship with her? If it was, wouldn't it be too much?
That kind of passion made GongYimo a little afraid and resistant.
Gong Dai was still angry at first, but when he saw GongYimo looking as if she was thinking about something, his heart trembled! He immediately threw the unhappiness from before to the back of his mind. He quickly thought, did Gong Che say something to her before he arrived?
Actually, when it came to expressing feelings, Gong Dai really didn't have any experience. On one hand, he wanted to abandon his identity as her brother, but on the other hand, he wanted to use this identity to get closer to her …
If GongYimo really sensed his feelings now, he wouldn't know what to do …
He was unbelievably ruthless to outsiders, but in reality, Gong Dai was still a virgin …
"Royal Sister …"
He opened his mouth, but remembered that he was angry. He was a little annoyed and arrogant, so he tilted his head and didn't look at her.
"Are you really going to leave with Gong Che?"
His voice was clear and low … but there was an indescribable grievance in it. GongYimo came back to her senses and looked at him, feeling a little guilty.
In front of her … He was clearly a thirteen-year-old boy … What was she thinking?
GongYimo held his hand and laughed softly.
"Don't worry, no matter what, I'll always be on your side … After all, you're the one who grew up with me …"
As she spoke, she leaned on Gong Dai's shoulder tiredly.
Gong Dai was getting bigger and bigger … So his shoulders were becoming more solid, and he could be relied on.
Her closeness made all the unhappiness in Gong Dai's heart disappear. Actually, he was often unsatisfied with GongYimo, but as long as she took the initiative, he would be … very, very satisfied …
***
This was the first time Gong Che wanted to kill someone!
He looked at his powerless hands and felt a deep sense of self-loathing!
He had never killed anyone before. Even if he did kill someone, he would let someone else do it. Therefore, his hands were clean. At least, he had never been directly stained with blood. But now, he wished that he could have outstanding martial arts skills! This way … he could also protect GongYimo. He could too!
At the thought of GongYimo and Gong Dai living together! He was so jealous that he wanted to go crazy! They were clearly family. One was the elder brother, and the other was the younger brother. Why was she so biased that she could stay by the younger brother's side but not by his?!
His appearance frightened everyone. Someone went to report to the Empress. When the Empress heard it, she sighed deeply.
"We can't wait any longer … Shui Xian, pass down my decree. Three days later, there will be a banquet in the palace. Invite the families on the list to the banquet. There must be no delays!"
The Water Deity hurriedly took a scroll, and on it were densely packed small words.
After thinking for a while, the Empress said, "Since it's obvious that it's a consort selection, it's not good to be biased. Call the other princes who are of suitable age over."
"Yes, Your Highness." After Shui Xian left, the Empress looked at her back with an unreadable expression until she disappeared. She secretly made up her mind.
— — Che 'er, don't blame me. Everything Imperial Mother has done is for your sake!
After returning home, GongYimo went straight to sleep. She didn't like to think. Once she thought, she felt tired and only wanted to sleep.
Gong Dai sighed. He stroked her hair and covered her with the blanket.
Seeing her fall asleep with her brows slightly knitted, he felt his heart ache for no reason.
He knew in his heart that … he couldn't lock her up … but he couldn't let go. The consequences … he couldn't bear.
After he left with a long sigh, GongYimo opened her eyes … her gaze was a little confused. If she didn't notice it, it was fine. Once she noticed it, she felt that Gong Dai's every action was unusual. Was it really just a sibling relationship?
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
In these few days, other than working, Gong Dai spent most of his time with GongYimo. He acutely felt GongYimo's uneasiness. So these few days, he played the role of a younger brother with all his heart. He obediently allowed GongYimo to manipulate him, as if they had returned to the past … so the doubts in GongYimo's heart gradually disappeared.
Gong Dai was going to attend the Empress' banquet. GongYimo made faces at him as she combed his hair. "This is obviously a matchmaking banquet! When the time comes, you have to tell me which family's girl you like! "
Gong Dai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he still responded gently. His devilish eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke intentionally or unintentionally.
"The Crown Prince is obviously the main character of this banquet. I'm just going to go through the motions …" After he finished speaking, he saw that GongYimo's expression didn't change at all. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief …
He then said, "Royal Sister, who do you want the Crown Prince to marry?"
This question stumped GongYimo … she didn't know much about the womenfolk in the capital. Anyway, it didn't matter who it was, as long as it wasn't Su Miaolan … she didn't want to take revenge on her, but to let Su Miaolan marry Gong Che? This was the only thing she wouldn't agree to.
Seeing that she was really thinking about it, Gong Dai smiled from the bottom of his heart …
Then he obediently let GongYimo tie up his hair. Looking at the two of them in the mirror, one standing and one sitting, his expression was full of sweetness.
If only it could always be like this, it would be great just the two of them!
But on the other side, Gong Che was having a hard time.
There was no heating in Feng Qi Palace, so it was very cold from the inside out.
"Mother, I won't go."
Gong Che stood stubbornly in front of the Empress. His expression was cold, as if he was talking about something that didn't belong to him.
Hearing this, the Empress put down her cup. Today was a rare big day, so she was dressed very luxuriously. Her majesty as the Empress was fully displayed, making her look a little unreasonable.
At this time, after hearing Gong Che's words, she wasn't angry. Instead, she said calmly.
"This matter is approved by His Majesty. Whether you agree or not, you have to go."
Hearing this, Gong Che looked at her coldly. His eyes didn't look like he was looking at his mother, but as if he was looking at an enemy!
The Empress's move of acting first and reporting later caught him off guard!
The Empress was scared by his gaze, but she forced herself to be calm and snorted. "What … you don't want GongYimo?"
Her words poked at Gong Che's sore spot, making Gong Che suddenly calm down, but he couldn't say anything.
As expected, only GongYimo could suppress him now … The Empress sat on the phoenix seat, looked out of the hall, and sighed faintly.
"Mother admits that you've grown up and have the ability. Once the matter of building the canal is completed, you'll have great achievements … but have you thought about it? How long will it take to build the canal? During this time … how many unforeseen events will happen? If no one in the capital protects your position, what happened last time will still happen. "
