Chapter 517 Persuade Him (2)
Gong Yimo couldn’t even tell what she was saying. Her head felt dizzy.
“About this matter...I will speak about it with Gong Jue. As for whether he agrees or not, it is really not something I can influence.”
Hearing this, Gong Sheng smiled widely and patted her shoulder. “Don’t worry, your words are more useful than mine as his father!”
Gong Yimo smiled bitterly.
When she walking out of ZHaoyang Palace, she suddenly shivered. At this moment, the Empress had actually sent someone to look for her.
Gong Yimo was already distracted and confused when she was dragged over to Fengqi Palace.
And, at this moment, Fengqi Palace was in a very lively state.
Turns out that the empress was holding a small tea party and invited many of the palace’s married ladies. The atmosphere was just right.
Seeing so many people, Gong Yimo’s spirit was lifted. No longer thinking about the messy business, she strode in!
“Fenggui Rongzi, Grand Princess of Gu has arrived—!”
Once this title was announced, everyone was stunned. Then, they hurriedly got up and bowed!
It’s Gong Yimo! Why was she here?!
When the Empress saw Gong Yimo arrive, she took her hand with much joy and sulked.
“You’ve returned for so long and never once come to see your mother. Mo’er, how partial of you.”
Gong Yimo was guided to the topmost seat on the left by her and sat down. Only then did she raise her cup to the Empress and smiled apologetically.
“Mother is right, your daughter will punish herself with three cups as a show of apology!”
Then, she really drank three cups of wine in quick succession!
But what kind of person was the empress? She could tell at a glance that Gong Yimo was in a bad mood, so she easily let her go and introduced people to her.
“Come now, you rarely attended these women’s banquets since you were young. I’m sure you still do not know your prince brother’s fiancée, do you?”
As she spoke, she pointed to the first lady to her right and said, “This is the wife of the Duke of Zhen, a first-class ennobled lady, and next to her is your future sister-in-law! First daughter of the Marquis of Zhen, the Su clan’s Miaolan.”
Only then did Gong Yimo put her attention on the seats directly opposite. There, she saw Su Miaolan for the second time.
Marquess of Zhen, Madam Zhang, immediately got up to bow to Gong Yimo, because in terms of status, Gong Yimo’s identity is far above the realm that they can reach.
“This lady pays respects to the great princess. This is my daughter, she was young in the past so if she has done anything to offend you, I hope that Princess will please forgive her!”
Is she talking about what happened at the tea party back then?
Gong Yimo held her teacup in one hand and smiled silently, directly placing her eyes upon Su Miaolan who had been avoiding her gaze from the beginning.
Being pulled at by her mother, Su Miaolan also had to consider the occasion. Gritting her teeth, she gave her a polite bow.
“Daughter of the Su clan gives her greetings to the great princess.”
At this moment, her mother pulled her from behind again. Filled with resentment, Su Miaolan said in a quiet voice.
“Back then, this humble one acted without thought. I hope that the princess does not blame me for it.”
After saying that, she bowed her head, clearly trying to hold back!
She was going to become the crown prince’s concubine in the future, and Gong Yimo would have to respectfully call her sister-in-law in the future when she saw her! She doesn’t believe that Gong Yimo would dare do anything to her!
But now she had no choice but to bow because of how high Gong Yimo’s position is. Even her father can only bow to her!
Sure enough, Gong Yimo did not nitpick and raised her cup, smiling.
“No need to be polite, this princess has long forgotten all the trifles of the past.”
The Empress smiled. “Mo’er is most sensible after all!” Then, she glared at the Marquess of Zhen. “You’re too careful, Mo’er is not the type to be petty over such small matters.”
The Marquess of Zhen nodded repeatedly and praises flowed from her mouth as if they were free of cost. The other ladies present all followed suit and could simply praise Gong Yimo to the skies!
Gong Yimo put her teacup down and grabbed her wine cup instead, taking a sip. For some reason, she suddenly feels the need to laugh...
One moment the emperor was afraid that the rumors would come true and asked her to convince Gong Jue to marry, the next moment the empress was afraid that Gong Che would still be fond of her after he returned and quickly shoved the daughter-in-law to her face. Are they all afraid that she’s going to harm their sons or something?
