The next day, the news of the Crown Prince's wedding spread like wildfire. Although the imperial edict had not been issued yet, everyone was talking about it. GongYimo leaned over a small table in the teahouse and heard the news. She was so shocked that she immediately sat up!
Gong Che was going to marry Su Miaolan! Don't tease me, okay?
She was at a loss. No matter how she thought about it, she could not figure it out.
When did Gong Che become so familiar with Su Miaolan? There was even news of him personally appointing her as his imperial concubine. At this moment, Gong Dai walked towards her.
"Royal Sister, are you talking about … this shop's cloud cake?"
After the previous incident, Gong Dai was probably afraid that she would feel awkward, so he acted as if nothing had happened. He did not mention anything about her eavesdropping, which made her heave a sigh of relief.
Today, when he heard that she was going out, Gong Dai was worried. Since he had nothing to do, he went out with her. When they passed by the hawker shop that Gong Che pointed to last time, GongYimo had an idea and asked him to buy some of the cloud cake that was rumored to have been sold in the capital for more than twenty years.
GongYimo ate a piece with an indescribable expression. She felt that it was too greasy … with this level of sweetness, could it be that it was not a sugar cake?
Gong Dai sat down opposite her and poured himself a cup of tea.
They were now in a simple disguise. Otherwise, with Gong Dai's face that was becoming more and more enchanting as he grew up, they would be surrounded by people …
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that her mood was not right, Gong Dai looked up and asked. At this moment, his hand was holding the cup. His fair fingers and the rough sand bowl formed a sharp contrast. Even though he looked ordinary now, when those black jade-like eyes glanced at him, there was a kind of seductive beauty.
GongYimo was shaken by those fingers. She lowered her head and pondered, "Why did Crown Prince Gege appoint Su Miaolan as his imperial concubine? I can't figure it out … "
Her words made Gong Dai's pupils shrink. Then, he slowly smiled, "Maybe it was love at first sight."
His words made GongYimo even more confused. Let Su Miaolan marry Gong Che? She was really unwilling! Although the imperial edict had not been issued yet, it seemed to be a done deal.
But why did it have to be Su Miaolan? There were so many women in the capital. Why did it have to be her? Could this be the legendary fate?
Seeing that GongYimo seemed to have something on her mind, Gong Dai narrowed his eyes as if he knew what she was thinking.
"Royal Sister doesn't want the Crown Prince to marry?"
"Or do you just not want him to marry Su Miaolan?"
GongYimo was surprised by his keen senses. After a while, she nodded shyly. "I don't want him to marry Su Miaolan."
Her words made Gong Dai slightly happy, but GongYimo said again.
"Can you help me send a letter to the Empress?"
Gong Dai's expression was indescribable … "The Crown Prince finally chose a woman. No matter what you say, Royal Sister, she won't change her mind, right?"
GongYimo gritted her teeth, "I'll try … No … I can only say that it's their fate!"
Gong Dai pondered for a moment and nodded. GongYimo was a little surprised, but Gong Dai smiled slightly. This smile seemed to disperse the cold air.
"Whatever Royal Sister wants to do, I will do it for you …"
For a moment, GongYimo was very moved. She didn't raise this child in vain!
On the same afternoon, the Empress received GongYimo's letter. It was only a few sentences.
Will the promise of that day be fulfilled today? The Crown Prince's marriage must be with the Su family?
The Empress lamented in her heart. She was afraid that Gong Che would suddenly break the engagement, but before Che did anything, GongYimo wrote a letter to her.
She understood Gong Yi Mo's intentions. In the beginning, she had knelt down and begged Gong Yi Mo to plead on Che 'er's behalf. She had promised to bring up this request in the future. She didn't expect Gong Yi Mo to bring it up now …
She handed the letter to Water Deity. Water Deity looked at it and frowned slightly, as if she didn't understand.
"According to the Princess, it seems that as long as it's not the Su family's daughter, anyone is fine?"
The Empress had a headache, "But Che said those words to the Su family's daughter in public … If he doesn't marry her, won't he make enemies?"
Water Deity pondered for a moment, "When His Highness was drunk, how could his drunken words count? Moreover, His Highness didn't go to His Majesty to ask for a marriage decree these days. I'm afraid he's regretting it. "
The Empress thought for a moment and said, "Hong Xiu."
"I'm here."
She handed the letter in her hand to her and said, "Send this letter to the Crown Prince and explain the reason. Everything … should be decided by him."
"Yes."
Eastern Palace.
"Crown Prince, you can't!" The Crown Prince's subordinate, Xu Sheng, knelt in front of Gong Che with a serious face.
"That Su Miaolan is the Marquis' only legitimate daughter and is deeply loved by the Marquis. If His Highness breaks the engagement, won't the Marquis lose face?"
Gong Che stood with his hands behind his back and didn't look at the people at his feet, "… I won't marry. As for the Marquis, I'll personally go and apologize. It's my fault for the slip of the tongue after drinking."
Seeing his insistence, Xu Sheng looked at the others. After the other advisors looked at each other, they all knelt down!
"Crown Prince, please reconsider!"
Gong Che was unmoved and continued to walk out. At this moment, Hong Xiu came over. Seeing the situation, she didn't say a word. Instead, she knelt down and attached a letter.
Gong Dai hesitantly opened the letter. GongYimo's handwriting made him suddenly happy! However, the content made him slightly absent-minded.
"Everyone, leave."
He ordered. Everyone looked at each other, and then they all retreated obediently.
In the conference hall, only Gong Che and Hong Xiu were left.
Seeing that everyone had left, Hong Xiu explained the matter to the Crown Prince. When Gong Che heard it, he suddenly laughed and sat on the armchair at the side.
He knew that the Empress had begged GongYimo to help. He also knew that his Empress Mother owed GongYimo a favor. However, she actually used such an opportunity, an opportunity exchanged with the position of Princess … to make such a request!
"Tell me … why doesn't she like Su Miaolan?"
The Crown Prince asked blankly. His eyes were empty, as if he was absent-minded.
However, the pain in his eyes moved Hong Xiu. She lowered her head and thought for a while. "I heard that Princess and Miss Su had a conflict before. I think … Princess doesn't like her."
"Yes … I don't like her."
Gong Che also thought of this and suddenly laughed. "You don't like her, so you want me to marry someone else … Hahaha … GongYimo, what do you think I am! What do you think I am! "
You don't care at all! You can't wait to let me marry someone else!
You … really don't have a trace of love for me …
He closed his eyes, and the sudden increase in his voice gave Hong Xiu a fright!
She lowered her body and said in a trembling voice, "Your Highness, please calm down! Her Majesty means … it's all up to Your Highness now. She will respect your wishes! "
"No need. That's all. Hasn't my Crown Princess been decided long ago?"
Gong Dai sneered and read the letter again as if he was torturing himself. The more he read, the more he wanted to laugh.
Just a few words, completely ignoring his feelings …!
"She doesn't want me to marry Su Miaolan, but I want to!"
Hong Xiu saw the Crown Prince's face turn pale and his eyes red. She couldn't help but advise him in a sorrowful voice.
"Your Highness, please don't let your emotions affect your decisions. Please think thrice before you act!"
"Think thrice?" Gong Dai's hand clenched the letter tightly and smiled. His smile was so cold and miserable.
"There's nothing to think thrice. She was willing to use such an opportunity to make such a request. Perhaps, if I marry Su Miaolan, she will give me another look …"
