Chapter 552 A unique way to choose her husband (1)

The arrival of Longcheng Tingxue made the whole palace lively again, the emperor specially hosted a banquet to welcome her.

As long as she gets married, the cooperation between both Dayu and Lou Ye will be considered as being half accomplished!

Even the Empress exclaimed at how lively the palace has been recently, with the prince and princess. She was so occupied with the banquet for the past few days that she didn’t have time for anything else.

There are many things that needed extra attention for this banquet, no one knew what Gong Jue had said to Gong Cheng, but he stopped pushing Gong Jue to marry Princess Lou Ye anymore! This banquet was held today to introduce the men in Dayu to the princess. Although there aren’t many princes of the right age to marry, there were still many sons of the noble ministers.

When Gong Yimo knew about this, she felt relieved. As long as the emperor didn’t force the marriage, the little princess might not even choose to marry Gong Jue.

Before the banquet, the Empress smiled as she said to Longcheng Tingxue about the emperor’s intention. Longcheng Tingxue blushed when she heard this, but a chill flashed through her gaze. What is there to choose, isn’t Gong Jue the most suitable prince for her, age wise? Or does the emperor not want her to marry Gong Jue, so he arranged such a banquet for her to choose someone else?

However, even if she wasn’t pleased, she didn’t show it. Regardless, Gong Jue will definitely appear at that time. If the emperor didn’t force it, she would then personally choose her husband, it’s not a big deal.

Thinking about it this way, she smiled at the Empress and said that she would perform a dance tonight. At that time, if she had anyone in mind, she’ll hint at the person for her.

The Empress smiled and nodded, thinking to herself that Lou Ye’s customs are really different from Dayu’s.

With that said, it was time for the banquet to start. After the emperor had released the news that anyone who came would have a chance to be favored by Princess Lou Ye, people who were interested in her were all very enthusiastic!

Gong Yimo touched her stomach, as she stood at the gate of the palace and complained to herself, “There’s been too many banquets recently, my waist feels so much bigger.”

At that time, Gong Jue was right behind her, and said at the exact moment they passed each other, “Really? It felt rather slim to me.”

Gong Yimo was shocked, seeing that there was no one next to him, she glared at Gong Jue!

“What a busybody!” She then quickly ran in, and Gong Jue smiled as he walked in behind her.

Gong Jue had much to worry recently, because Jin Yun still couldn’t give him a confirmed answer. It must have something to do with that night, but it doesn’t matter. He’ll get that contact eventually, but the sad part is that he can’t come to see the princess that frequently anymore.

Halfway through the banquet, just when the party was starting to warm up, Princess Lou Ye walked in, and the highlight of the night finally came!

She took off her gorgeous cloak, and she was wearing a red skirt beneath! Everyone’s focus was on her, with a coveted look on their faces.

Longcheng Tingxue pursed her lips and smiled, “Thank you, Your Majesty, for hosting this banquet for me. I’m not sure what I can offer as a token of my gratitude, I hope that this dance would be enough.”

Gong Cheng knew that the fact she appeared now, meant that she must already have someone in mind. He glanced around the hall. There were more than a dozen princes and the sons of noble ministers, who aren’t married yet. The princess should’ve found it hard to even recognise anyone, even more so, who to choose as her husband.
