Ch.516 Persuade Him (1)
The palace was decorated with colorful lanterns and decorations, and that is because the crown prince is returning!
Yet Gong Yimo felt a little troubled. So much time has passed, if her brother the crown prince has not given up his obsession with her, then how awkward is it going to be if they meet in the future!
But no matter how awkward it is, it will have to happen eventually. With hope in her heart, she headed for the palace.
Upon seeing Gong Yimo’s arrival, Gong Sheng hurriedly waved toward her from the imperial study.
“Mo’er, quickly come and look!”
“Father Emperor, what do you need me for so urgently?” Gong Yimo went over with a smile only to see a finely drawn portrait in his hands. Looking at the clothes, this was not one of Dayu’s ladies, and it was also slightly familiar.
“This is…?” Gong Yimo’s eyes subconsciously trailed towards the handwriting under the portrait.
“Princess of Louye?”
She raised a brow. She didn’t expect that Longcheng Wuji would actually think of marrying her off to Dayu? It had to be known that this is Louye’s most precious little princess!
Gong Sheng smiled, satisfied. “This woman is of very noble status and is quite favored. I just have a few headaches about this matter…Who should I marry her to?”
As soon as he spoke, Gong Yimo’s face subconsciously paled.
“Why not the crown prince…But he will have to marry the Su family’s daughter soon. The other princes have also married long ago. This really is hard to choose…”
As he spoke, he glanced at Gong Yimo’s face.
Naturally, Gong Yimo understood his meaning.
“Father Emperor, are you thinking of marrying her to Gong Jue?”
Sure enough, Gong Jue nodded with a smile on his face. “You understand me best after all!”
At this, he sighed again. “But that little brat Gong Jue is too dull. I talked to him about this but he said he’s too young and doesn’t want to marry! He won’t even look at how big he’s grown, I already have four children when I was his age!”
Gong Yimo couldn’t help but smile bitterly. She hadn’t realized that Gong Jue who had always been that young boy in her mind had grown so big now. Has he already arrived at the age of late marriage for the ancient times?
“Since Gong Jue has already declined, it is likely that he has no interest in this girl. So, what have you called me here for, Father Emperor?”
She pretended to not understand.
Gong Sheng glared at her. “Don’t play dumb. The older that brat gets, the more disobedient he becomes! But if it’s you, he might give it a listen…As his older sister, do the marriage affairs of your younger brother not worry you?”
She’s just worried that her concern would end up dragging trouble back to herself!
At this moment, Gong Sheng suddenly sighed.
“I know you two share a good relationship. Even better than siblings from the same mother I could say, but…I have heard a few rumors in recent years…”
Gong Yimo suddenly looked at him, which made him wave his hands.
“Don’t worry, your Father Emperor is not a muddled old man! You and Gong Jue are both smart children, how could you do anything unwise? It is only…I won’t say anything about your circumstances, but Gong Jue…He can’t just stay single all his life, can he? Would that not then prove the rumors true?”
Gong Yimo carefully discerned the expression on Gong Sheng’s face. She wants to see if he really trusts him or if he were just using this matter to test her. Surprisingly, Gong Sheng felt a little uneasy to be looked at in this manner.
Gong Yimo had a very intimidating look in her eyes when she did not smile. The weak-minded would generally not have the guts to face her.
“Father wants me to persuade Gong Jue to take a wife?”
Her tone was heavy and slow, along with it a trace of meaningful amusement.
Gong Sheng raised his brow. “What’s wrong with that? You’ve watched over him since young like a mother would. Would he disobey you?”
Gong Yimo chuckled. She suddenly felt a pang of heartache.
Since the time she chose to become Dayu’s princess, she had never expected this day to come.
But she could not find any reason to refute him. In terms of family background, Louye’s youngest is also the most favored princess. It was a good match for Gong Jue.
In terms of looks, talent, and temperament, she had seen this princess in her last life and her glory is irrefutable.
And, Gong Jue had also reached the age of marriage. At this time, she really couldn’t find a single reason to refute the emperor.
…Moreover, why should he refute him? Does she really want for Gong Jue to never marry? Not like he could respond to his feelings either, right?
“Father Emperor…this girl…is naturally a good choice.”
