GongYimo was stunned for a moment, then she smiled and said, "How is that possible?"
Although Kim Yoon was very attentive and beautiful, just like the brother next door, only the heavens knew that she had never even touched his hand when she was in Yuheng. Moreover, Kim Yoon was also a gentleman and had never done anything that crossed the line with her.
Why did Gong Dai suddenly ask about this?
Hearing GongYimo's unhesitant answer, Gong Dai couldn't help but smile. Unlike the aggressive and threatening smile from before, this time, his smile was as clear as the wind and clear as the moon, but with a trace of joy and affection.
Under the table, his hand gently traced the outline of GongYimo's palm as he spoke in a low voice.
"Kim Yoon said that he likes you and wants to marry you."
"That's impossible!"
GongYimo said without even thinking. After all, she had asked Kim Yoon this question no less than three times, and he had always said that he didn't like her, so she had always been at ease and treated him as an older brother.
Gong Dai raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Just now, Imperial Father almost agreed, Royal Sister … If you can't do it because you're close to Kim Yoon, I'm very willing to do it for you."
He was serious when he said this. If it wasn't for the fact that GongYimo didn't like other people interfering with her matters without her consent, he really wanted to immediately chase Kim Yoon back to Yuheng and never see him again!
GongYimo smiled and waved her hand. "You must have misheard …" But when she saw Gong Dai's cold expression and saw that he didn't seem to be joking, she swallowed and said, "You … don't interfere, I-I can handle it myself."
Gong Dai narrowed his eyes and smiled. "That'd better be the case."
He was really willing to make a move. However, if he made a move, what would happen to Kim Yoon? What would happen to him? How would he feel when he returned? Those were not within the scope of his consideration.
Seeing GongYimo and Gong Dai chatting happily, the wine glass in Gong Che's hand almost shattered. At this moment, he turned his head and said to GongYimo as if he had thought of something.
"Mo'er, speaking of the Grand Canal Conferring Ceremony, Imperial Father intends to make you the Saintess to pray for the blessings of the world."
GongYimo turned around to hear this and immediately felt a headache coming on. "Can't you just find any woman? Imperial Father has so many daughters, why do you have to choose me …"
She adjusted the crown on her head. Fortunately, her hair was thick and long. Otherwise, she would have to wear a wig to fit so many hairpins.
Just by looking at her expression, he could tell what she was thinking. Gong Che's heart warmed and he couldn't help but smile. "Oh you, this is an honor that others can't even dream of. You're actually trying to push it away."
GongYimo pursed her lips. This was the bad thing about the ancients. They always wanted to hold a ceremony for everything and announce it to the world.
"You were the one who named the Grand Canal. Therefore, only you are the most suitable person to do this."
Gong Che's eyes were filled with adoration as he spoke.
GongYimo nodded. "Forget it. I only hope that Imperial Father can simplify the ceremony on account of my 'hard work day and night' …"
She pouted slightly. Because that was simply impossible!
Gong Dai listened to their conversation but didn't say anything. He only focused on playing with GongYimo's fingers under the table.
If he wanted to be the Royal Sister's man, he couldn't hold her too tightly. If he held her too tightly, she would want to escape. But he couldn't let her go too easily either. If he let her go, she would return to her original state and focus on being a coward.
He was really vexed … His Royal Sister was so difficult to handle. It could be said that she was the biggest problem he had ever faced in his life.
The banquet ended in this extremely 'harmonious' atmosphere. When GongYimo was about to leave the palace, she was stopped by the Empress.
The Empress was probably looking for her as an excuse. The main point was that she probably wanted to ask for her opinion. After all, this wasn't a small matter.
Sure enough, on the way back to the bedroom, the Empress asked about it.
"Mo 'er, what do you think of Second Prince Yuheng?"
The two walked in front and the palace servants followed behind them from a distance. It was obvious that they didn't dare to disturb them.
"Brother Kim Yoon, he's very good!" GongYimo smiled. The Empress was delighted, but before she could persuade her, she said again.
"It's just that I treat him as my brother. If it's any other relationship, it's impossible."
The Empress' face stiffened. "Mo 'er, it's just a joke to say that you won't marry for the rest of your life. Don't take it seriously."
GongYimo said lightly, "Since I said it, it's a promise. Although I'm a woman, I'm a woman of my words."
The Empress sighed. She couldn't say more. After all, she wasn't her own flesh and blood. Now she could only hope that her son had really given up. As for the rest, she really couldn't care less.
After sending the Empress to Feng Qi Palace, GongYimo prepared to go to Taiji Palace. After all, that place was bestowed to her. It was already so late and she didn't want to leave the palace.
After sending away the palace servants who were leading the way, she walked alone on the road to Taiji Palace.
In fact, Kim Yoon's matter had touched her. Thinking back to the day when she left, Kim Yoon danced for her for the first time, she seemed to have vaguely sensed something at that time. But after she left, she didn't think about it anymore.
He … Did he really like her, or did he value her ability and want her to be used by him like before?
Unknowingly, she walked to a waterside pavilion. A trace of cold water vapor hit her in the face, clearing her mind. She sat down by the waterside pavilion and carefully thought about the problem that had been troubling her for a while.
She couldn't accept Gong Dai's feelings. She hadn't solved it yet, and now, there was another Kim Yoon.
"Are you unhappy?"
The sudden voice gave GongYimo a fright. She was too engrossed and didn't notice that someone had come!
She suddenly turned around and saw Kim Yoon. At this time, he seemed to have freshened up. He was wearing a moon-white robe and his hair was loose. Standing in front of her, he really looked like a female ghost …
GongYimo couldn't help but laugh. But this ghost was really stunning!
Kim Yoon saw her laugh and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He thought that she would be unhappy after Gong Dai told her. He didn't expect that she didn't show an expression of rejection. Then, did it mean that he had a chance?
Kim Yoon's heart thumped. He sat beside GongYimo with a serious expression.
It was GongYimo who spoke first, "It's not that I'm unhappy. I just want to sit here for a while and think about life."
"Then what are you thinking about?" Kim Yoon felt that she was by his side. This feeling was as if he had returned to the prince's residence. It made him feel relaxed and happy for no reason.
GongYimo blinked, "I'm thinking about you."
Kim Yoon was stunned. At that moment, his face turned red. Although it couldn't be seen clearly in the night, but his sudden chaotic breathing made GongYimo sigh.
"Do you really like me?"
Her question was so straightforward that it was impossible to resist. Kim Yoon tried to figure out her expression and nodded lightly.
GongYimo became even more depressed.
"But I've asked you this question many times. Why didn't you say it before?"
