Chapter 522 Special Gift (1)
The melody began again, and whether it was an illusion or not, the crowd seemed to have livened up even more. It seems like the empress was not the only one excited at the crown prince’s arrival. He was favored by many and they all welcomed his return to the palace!
With the melody, Su Miaolan began her dance. At this moment, she was very grateful that she could dance. Because, only this way can she show her body to her heart’s content.
As far as she knows, Gong Che is already twenty-one this year without even a concubine by his side or even a maid! It’s very likely that he is completely untouched...So, she is very confident that as soon as she enters the crown prince’s palace and becomes his first woman, the prince will definitely become deeply attracted to her. When that time comes, she has to latch firmly onto his heart and not give any other women any chances!
But how could she have thought that even though the empress would pull him over to whisper a few things in his ear while he sat next to Gong Yimo, praising Su Miaolan’s dance and whatnot, that despite the fact that his eyes were watching her spinning figure, his full attention was being occupied by Gong Yimo to his left!
He really wished he could tell his mother to stop talking to him, but he had just returned and his mother was in a state of excitement, she definitely would not let go easily.
But he also wanted to talk to Mo’er. It had been three years, and whether that person from more than a year ago was her or not, he had no idea, but she was really sitting there right next to him right now. He really wished he could hold her, and to kiss her!
Gong Che lowered his eyes again. After so long, he finally discovered an abnormality with himself. Anytime he missed Mo’er deeply, his eyes would turn a crimson red! So, he had to disguise himself so as not to let Mo’er find out.
He was just curious. Why did it seem like Mo’er would know of things that he only found out about recently?
She...really understands him well...
Thinking of this, the longing in his heart became even more uncontrollable. He couldn’t even make out the empress’s chattering by his ear anymore.
“Che’er, Che’er?”
The empress looked at him strangely.
“Huh?”
Gong Che suddenly came back to his senses. He looked at the empress, yet he saw her staring at him.
“Are you bedazzled?” The empress covered her lips and chuckled. “Since you are so taken by Miss Su’s dancing, then you better keep your promise. If you reward too less, then mother won’t stand for it!”
Su Miaolan smiled and lowered her head bashfully. She danced very seriously just now. She was confident that the crown prince’s heart will definitely be touched!
God knows however that Gong Che never even paid attention to what kind of dance she was doing just now. His attention was well and truly stuck on Gong Yimo, he didn’t even realize her dance ended that quickly.
Gong Che smiled and glanced at Gong Yimo from the corner of his eye, yet he saw her with her eyes narrowed, seemingly in a good mood. He couldn’t help but sigh at this heartless little thing.
“Miss Su’s dance was truly amazing. I will reward you with a box of box of bright pearls, a natural chalcedony pendant, and a south sea purple gem golden hair ornament...Ah, and I have recently procured a roll of cloud orchid brocade that will be a good match for Miss Su’s outstanding style.”
There was no need to mention the worth of the things Gong Che so casually brought up, just that cloud orchid brocade alone is enough for people to marvel!
Many of the noble ladies on the scene showed looks of envy, and the married ladies thought even further. They say water helps in growing wealth, and it seems this prince has accumulated a lot of wealth from the canal! With that thought, they felt even more that this crown prince’s position must be solid. Whether it be his looks or his status, he was a rare good man in the world!
As for the cloud orchid brocade, who does not know that this is the third most valuable brocade in the world?
Only Yuheng has it, and only a hundred rolls are produced each year. Plus, as the two countries have yet to officially open trade with each other, it was something you couldn’t get your hands on even if you had the money!
