But after the court, he was stopped by the Emperor.
Zhaoyang Palace Hall.
This was the place where the Emperor read the memorials. The entire room was made of Phoebe zhennan wood. As soon as one entered, the strong scent of the wood calmed one's heart.
Gong Cheng was still high and mighty. He looked at his son. A few days ago, his face was pale and he left in despair. Today, he could regain his confidence in the court and speak with assurance.
As the saying goes, without destruction, there can be no construction. He seemed to have transcended his past self and displayed a different style that was unique to him. Gong Sheng rubbed his chin. He believed that he was the one who had "destroyed" Gong Che, but he didn't know who it was that had "built" him.
Being stared at by the Emperor like this, although Gong Che was a little nervous, he stood there calmly. His face was like jade and his expression was gentle. Anyone who saw him would think that if he succeeded the throne, he would be a benevolent emperor.
"Who gave you the idea?" After a long time, Gong Cheng slowly asked.
As soon as he opened his mouth, Gong Che was stunned for a moment and said, "This son met a counselor by chance. Unfortunately, we only met once."
"Counselor?" Gong Che smiled. He was not the kind of person to beat around the bush. "It was Mo'er."
He said it with certainty and used a statement. Gong Che did not answer, which meant that he admitted it. Gong Cheng sighed. His expression was both bitter and helpless.
"Ah... that little girl..."
Gong Che was afraid that GongYimo had touched the Emperor's sensitive nerve and quickly said, "Yimo just wanted to help me and contribute to the world. I hope Imperial Father will not blame her."
"If you want me to not blame you, that's fine." He smiled slyly and said, "She let you leave the capital and build the canal. These are all good ideas. But the canal has been built for many years. That girl is smart, so she definitely knows about it. Then what did she say to make you agree, and the Empress also agreed?"
Gong Che pondered for a moment. He couldn't say, no … he should say that he didn't know what to do.
Seeing Gong Che's silence, Gong Cheng shook his head helplessly. His sons, one by one, were led by the nose by that little girl. Sometimes, even he … was also in that girl's calculations.
That girl … was really too shrewd! She clearly knew that Gong Che would ask about it, and Gong Che wouldn't be able to hide it, so she deliberately didn't tell Gong Che.
But no matter what, it was a good thing for the country and the people.
Gong Cheng sighed, stood up, and walked straight to Gong Che's side.
The 16-year-old Gong Che was about the same height as him. He was handsome and not as muscular as him, but he was a good boy who could take responsibility.
Looking at Gong Che, who was growing up day by day and gradually revealing his sharpness, Gong Cheng's eyebrows relaxed for a moment. He patted Gong Che's shoulder.
"Since you want to go, Imperial Father will certainly support you. I hope … you can come back soon!"
Seeing that the Emperor no longer asked, Gong Che finally breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at his Imperial Father, who was still tall and straight, he found that there were gray hairs on his temples. Gong Che's heart ached, but he didn't know what he was sad about. Probably … this was the bond of blood thicker than water.
This matter was settled without anyone stopping it. However, the transfer orders of various aspects, the finalization of personnel, the gathering of craftsmen, and the preparation of funds all required time. As a result, Gong Che was very busy during this period of time and was almost nowhere to be seen.
At this time, GongYimo was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea, enjoying snacks and wine in the wisteria pavilion. She was comfortably enjoying life.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound. She looked at the wall and saw a hand climbing on it. Soon, a head popped out.
Seeing the person, GongYimo giggled, "Ah! Isn't this the Heir Apparent? Why don't you go through the front door and climb the wall instead? "
"Keep your voice down!"
Shen Shi Ye looked around. Seeing that no one was around, he flipped over, "Isn't it because of that brother of yours? He's simply crazy! He doesn't allow anyone to come find you. Otherwise, this young master wouldn't need to climb the wall! "
GongYimo didn't think that there would be such a thing. Shen Shi Ye walked over and glanced at her, "Oh, you're having a good life! This sweet heart cake and snow cloud cake are famous in the city. You can't buy them even if you line up, but you have a lot of them here. "
As he spoke, he didn't treat himself as an outsider and began to eat.
GongYimo smiled as she sized him up, "Aren't you afraid that there's poison in it?"
Shen Shi Ye choked. Suddenly, he didn't know whether to swallow or spit it out. He stared at her and couldn't speak clearly, "What are you saying?"
GongYimo propped up her chin and laughed.
"Idiot, I haven't seen you for a while. How come you've become even more idiotic?"
Shen Shi Ye was burning with anger. He swallowed the dessert and glared at her! "Who are you calling idiotic? Ugly woman! Do you want to die? "
"Enough …" GongYimo wasn't afraid at all. Instead, she waved her hand, "Tell me, what are you doing here?"
Shen Shi Ye angrily suppressed his anger. He didn't forget the fact that he couldn't beat this person.
"It's Yu Ziqing and his gang … You saw them last time when we were drinking. They wanted to go out with you to play, but they were stopped at the door. That's why this young master came in to find out what's going on!"
Thinking about those youths she saw last time, GongYimo's mind spun. After a moment, she blinked and quickly stood up.
"Is there really something fun? Hurry up and lead the way. If it's not fun, I won't forgive you! "
Shen Shi Ye suddenly glanced at her with a smile that wasn't a smile, "Don't worry! It's guaranteed to be fun! "
The street was filled with guests.
GongYimo squinted her eyes as she sized up the carvings on the door. The carvings were exquisite and complicated. The craftsmanship of the master who built the house was really good!
Shen Shi Ye couldn't help but pull her, "Let's go! What's there to look at at the door? "
GongYimo glanced at him, "If I don't look at the door, should I look at them?" As she spoke, she pointed at the two courtesans who wanted to approach, but didn't dare to because of Lord Shizi's abuse of power.
At this time, the procuress heard that Lord Shizi had arrived and quickly came out to welcome him.
"Oh, Lord Shizi! You haven't been here for a long time. Hurry up and come in. Your friends are waiting for you in the private room! "
As she spoke, she saw GongYimo and her eyes flashed.
"Oh, look at this cute little gentleman. Is he Lord Shizi's younger brother?" Originally, she thought that the other party looked rather feminine, but the other party's eyes revealed a sense of disdain for no reason. It wasn't something an ordinary noble would have. The procuress's heart trembled. She felt that this little gentleman's background wasn't small.
Shen Shi Ye pulled GongYimo behind him, "Don't talk too much! Why aren't you leading the way? "
"Hey! Yes, yes! Please come in, please come in! "
The brothel keeper's eyes narrowed with a smile as she hurriedly welcomed them in.
In her previous life, GongYimo was already tired of visiting brothels. At that time, she was a frequent customer of brothels because this kind of place was the most suitable for banquets and discussions.
At this time, the people in the private room were getting anxious.
"Why isn't he here yet? Could it be that Lord Shizi was also stopped?" Yu Ziqing frowned slightly, but Xu Yuan wasn't anxious at all.
"Don't worry. There's no one that Lord Shizi can't invite!"
