Who would she choose?
Long Cheng Ting Xue's gaze swept through the items one by one, a smile on her lips.
Her goal was clear, there was only one item!
At this moment, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she stretched out her hand. Her action made many people's hearts tighten! They even held their breaths!
But her movements suddenly stopped! Her eyes widened slightly, as if she was a little panicked?
Everyone waited anxiously, wondering what she was going to do.
The distance was too far, the Emperor couldn't see which item she was going to take. She clearly came out to dance, so she must have chosen. Why did it seem like she was hesitating now?
But at this time, Long Chengting Xue's forehead was covered in cold sweat. Under her finger was that dragon-shaped jade pendant. But who could tell her, why was there an identical dragon-shaped jade pendant under this jade pendant?!
Time passed by minute by minute, and the hall became restless. Many people wanted to know who she would choose, but why was she hesitating for so long? Could it be that she didn't like any of them?
Even Emperor Gong thought so. In order to let Princess Lou Ye off the stage, he laughed and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't like any of them. I have other rewards!"
How could she not like any of them?! If the Emperor held such a banquet again, these people would definitely not be here. Then how could she choose Gong Dai?!
She gritted her teeth, the next step was to bet on her luck! The two jade pendants were exactly the same, she didn't believe that others could tell them apart!
So she held the dragon pendant tightly in her hand, and said with a forced smile, "Your Majesty, Ting Xue has chosen!"
Emperor Gong smiled, "Whose treasure is it?"
At this moment, a eunuch on the side stepped forward to take a look.
"Your Majesty, this is your dragon pendant."
That one sentence was earth-shattering!
The Empress was stunned, and then filled with anger!
Emperor Gong was stunned, only feeling baffled.
All the men present were stunned! They didn't expect such a delicate little girl to like the Emperor in his forties or fifties?
They couldn't help but glance at Emperor Gong. Indeed, Emperor Gong was a handsome uncle, but no matter what, he was old enough to be the father of a little princess!
GongYimo spat out a mouthful of wine! Fortunately, no one was paying attention to them. Gong Dai smiled and handed over the handkerchief.
"Royal Sister, you're too careless."
GongYimo raised her head and looked into Gong Dai's pitch-black eyes. She suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.
She was a hundred percent sure that Gong Dai did it on purpose! He must have known about the Emperor's plan and prepared for it! That was why he could take whatever the Emperor took out. The eunuchs in the palace must have been bribed by him. Even if that piece of land really belonged to Gong Dai, the eunuchs would say that it belonged to the emperor. He was too two-faced!
GongYimo felt uncomfortable being stared at by his deep eyes. She quickly sat up straight and watched the show, ignoring him!
The Emperor's first thought was, could this be Lou Ye's scheme? But there was no need to sacrifice a princess!
But after hearing the eunuch's words, Long Cheng's Ting Xue was the one who was affected the most!
Why was it the Emperor's? It was obviously Gong Dai's!
At this time, the jade pendant in her hand was burning hot, making her want to throw it away!
But she couldn't do that. If she didn't explain it clearly, not only would the Empress see her as a thorn in her side, but the Emperor would also be on guard against her. So even if it was shameful, she had to explain it clearly.
Therefore, she took a deep breath …
"This … this is His Majesty's? Ting Xue thought … "
Her eyes immediately turned red, making people guess that there was something else. After all, they were all put together, maybe the princess remembered it wrongly?
Only then did Gong Cheng feel a little better. He smiled stiffly, "So, the princess chose the wrong one?"
Long Cheng's Ting Xue gritted her teeth and nodded gently. She looked so innocent that even the Empress's hostility towards her lessened a little.
After all, if Gong Che didn't have an engagement, she would hope to have Lou Ye's most favored princess as a daughter-in-law.
"Ting Xue … Ting Xue didn't choose the wrong one. It's just that there are two jade pendants!"
When she said this, the Emperor quickly frowned and looked at Gong Dai, then said to the eunuch.
"Bring it up!"
He looked and found that there was actually another identical jade pendant! This Gong Dai was really getting bolder! Not only did he deliberately make Princess Lou Ye lose face, but he also schemed against him! What did he want to do?!
"Gong Dai! Tell me, what is going on here! "
The Emperor was obviously angry. No one dared to speak, and Long Cheng's Ting Xue also shut her mouth. She thought very well. If Gong Dai was going to be punished by the Emperor, she would plead for leniency and strive to leave a good impression on him.
Gong Dai slightly raised his eyebrows, walked out, and bowed to the Emperor.
"Father, why are you so angry?"
Gong Cheng was so angry that he threw the jade pendant on the ground, "Did you do it on purpose to confuse Princess Lou Ye? You're clearly bullying people by doing this! "
Gong Dai coldly looked at the broken jade pendant on the ground. Since he knew about the Emperor's plan, he had been doing this.
He deliberately bribed the eunuch to let the Emperor wear this jade pendant today. When it was time to take out the treasure, he would definitely take out this jade pendant if he didn't have anything else on him. He had an identical jade pendant.
He also thought that the Emperor would be angry, but what did it matter?
He bent down and picked up the broken jade pendant piece by piece and whispered.
"Imperial Father just said that we should put in our most beloved treasure … and the origin of this jade pendant, does Imperial Father remember?"
It was too long ago, but when Gong Dai mentioned it, Gong Cheng suddenly remembered!
At that time, he brought people to hunt and encountered a fierce tiger! It was Gong Dai who saved him, and Gong Dai was injured because of it, almost crippling one of his hands.
He was moved for a moment. After Gong Dai recovered, he gave him a pair of Dragon Pendants. Both father and son wore the same jade pendant, which could be considered as a show of favor to him … and it was this jade pendant!
He came back to his senses, shocked and regretful. Gong Dai had already stood up. He didn't have any expression, and his words were cold and cheerless, as if he wasn't sad at all.
"Perhaps Imperial Father has a lot of such jade pendants, but this son only has one. It … represents some memories that I don't want to forget. It's this son's most beloved thing."
He held the broken jade pendant in his hand and lightly added, "But if Imperial Father thinks that I did it on purpose, then just smash it."
His words didn't complain, but every word and sentence hit Gong Cheng's heart, making him feel regret and hate himself for being so impulsive just now! Didn't this hurt this child's heart?!
Gong Dai was a person who kept everything in his heart. He was so calm at this time, but his action of picking up the broken jade pendant showed how sad he was at this time!
