Chapter 535 Grand Welcome (2)
The road was long, but not much noise was made. Towards Dayu’s prosperity, Jin Yun received a great understanding from this view, as well as the harshness of their system.
So this is the kingdom that Mo’er resides in!
He couldn’t help but smile. Gong Sheng thought that he was admiring the beauty of the palace and had no idea that he was secretly peeping into his daughter.
The palace banquet had already been prepared. After everyone was seated, the grand and complicated orchestra of the court began to play as if the world opened up right at that moment.
The officials have long gathered. They were allowed to bring their family on such a momentous occasion but they can only sit behind the curtains on both sides where an additional two columns of seats have been set up. Other than the empress and the two concubines, none of the womenfolk present are allowed to show their faces, including the princesses. But of course, Gong Yimo was an exception. She was seated between the crown prince and Gong Che, signifying her status.
And now, there are only two people who have yet to arrive. The one who dares make the emperor and the neighboring monarch wait is one, the empress dowager who claimed illness and never dared to appear again.
And, there is also the great princess who once stirred Yuheng into a frenzy before returning to Dayu to have her position officially reinstated—Fenggui Rongji!
Gong Jue looked at Jin Yun who was sitting by the left side of the emperor and slightly narrowed his eyes.
It was this person who had the privilege of monopolizing his Imperial Sister for nearly three years…
The banquet was about to begin.
And, at this time, everyone was eagerly waiting. For some reason, they were all eager to know what sort of situation will arise when Gong Yimo appears in front of Jin Yun again!
Those who know the inside story of how Gong Yimo left Yuheng’s capital all smiled and did not say anything, but those who do not know still thought they had a good show to watch.
“Great Princess Fenggui Rongji has arrived—”
There was a moment of silence in the room. Everyone including Gong Jue noticed that the neighboring prince seemed to have immediately interrupted his conversation with the emperor and turned his head to look towards the door.
This action of his caused a meaningful smile to curve on Gong Sheng’s face. It seems he had worried too much. It seems in those years that even if the monarch himself had his intentions, it was the princess who gave the cold shoulder.
He couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride. Hundreds of men are vying for his daughter and his daughter is so outstanding that he only fears that more will come!
Unfortunately, Gong Yimo has taken the vow to remain single for the rest of her life.
Gong Yimo strode in with big steps.
For such a formal occasion, she had to wear formal court clothes, and this set was specially tailored for her with twelve layers, the main colors being red and black. That is because the emperor found that these two colors could highlight Gong Yimo’s temperament the most!
Just like that day at Wentian Terrace, she wore just a red skirt and a black cross-collar robe, yet she looked much more beautiful than countless other women in the world.
Everyone watched as she approached step by step.
The layers of skirts are like piled-up black waves, each layer lined with a gold edge that highlighted each layer clearly. There were also flowers embroidered in deep and light reds. It was absolutely beautiful.
And, Gong Yimo had her hair decorated in so many headdresses for the first time. A total of seventy-two pure gold pieces decorated her hair, giving her a very domineering look, but Gong Yimo felt bitter. This was truly hard to handle!
It can be said that this is the first time she had ever dressed like this. Gong Jue suddenly felt that this would be perfect when they got married in the future.
With all eyes on her, Gong Yimo walked in with her chin up and chest high.
Each step she took revealed the slightest hint of the jeweled flowers on her embroidered shoes, which was absolutely dazzling under the bright lights.
Just like that, she walked step by step in front of the hall with everyone watching her.
Such elegance and grace were simply enviable to all the women.
