Chapter 235: A Kiss is Enough (2)
"You can't leave my side when you arrive in the palace and do not look at other people."
Gong Jue said this a serious tone: she nodded in agreement. Seeing this, Gong Jue couldn't help but sigh. He hated himself for promising her this for a kiss.
While the carriage was en route to the palace, Gong Jue continued to instruct Gong Yimo on what she should and shouldn't do during the banquet.
The imperial palace was the same as before, nothing had changed. Gong Yimo had missed it. After all, she had lived there for almost six years and had developed feelings for it.
The main hall was gorgeous and was as warm as the springtime air. The traditional music rang from behind the curtain. Many imperial secretaries traveled back and forth with a happy expression on their face.
Gong Jue was the center of attention at this banquet. His seat was right next to the Crown Prince's. Seeing the crowds of people, Gong Yimo hurriedly lowered her head to act like a servant.
Gong Che forced himself to not look at her. Just the thought of her being only a few steps away made his heart soar up to the sky.
"The Emperor has arrived—"
The moment the Emperor arrived, everyone stood up to welcome him. The Emperor quickly walked in wearing golden-yellow robes, which made him look dignifying. But Gong Yimo's sharp eyes noted the white hair along the sides of his head and felt a pang in her heart.
Two months ago, he didn't have white hair. Were those hairs because of her?
Seeing that everyone was here, Gong Chenghu laughed out loud!
"This banquet is set to celebrate my son for establishing a wonderful accomplishment. We are here to enjoy ourselves, not here to talk about politics. Now, let the music begin!"
Chang Xi immediately smiled and stepped up.
"The Emperor has decreed. Let the music begin—The banquet has started—"
The voice echoed through the hall. With the start of the music, the female dancers walked in one after the other. The imperial secretaries carried different trays of delicious food in. The hall suddenly became bustling with noises.
Gong Che couldn't help but look at Gong Yimo again, having thousands of words he wanted to say to her.
