Chapter 249: If You want to Marry Me, then Marry Me (2)
“Che’er!”
The Empress was a little anxious. She quickly stepped forward and called out to him. The Empress signaled to the servants to quickly to help him up to prevent him from losing his position as the Crown Prince.
After hearing his mother’s shout, Gong Che finally returned to his senses. He quickly turned around and pushed away the servants. The young man walked a few steps forward and stood in the middle of the hall.
The dazzling main hall contrasted beautifully against his white clothes, making him look like he was an immortal. But no one was able to see the grief in the depth of his eyes.
“Che’er…you’re drunk!”
The Empress bitterly shook her head. She regretted telling him to look for Gong Yimo.
She sighed, feeling it was impossible for him to pick an imperial concubine today.
“Let it pa.s.s. Someone come and help the Crown Prince to the side palace hall to rest.”
When Gong Che heard what she had said, he waved his hand. He didn’t laugh or move. The young prince simply stood in the middle of the main hall. Suddenly, all the blurriness had disappeared. What remained was only indifference and bitterness.
“I’m not drunk…these people…who does Mother Empress want me to marry?”
He looked around as his voice echoed throughout the main hall.
It doesn’t matter who he marries. It won’t be her and she wouldn’t care who he marries anyway.
The people in the hall were all quiet, it seemed as if they were all shocked by his sudden question. Everyone’s gaze fell on the Gong Che’s body. What happened to the Crown Prince today? Why did his temperment suddenly change? Why did he lose his self-control?”
When he saw that no one responded, he laughed.
“Or, who wants to marry me?”
The Empress blankly stared at him, until finally, she snapped out of her stupor and yelled, “Preposterous!”
But she wasn’t able to say anything before a lady suddenly stood up.
The young lady walked a few steps forward, lowered her head, and took out her personal sachet before saying in a low voice:
“This subject greets the Crown Prince. My surname is Su.”
When she finished speaking, she carefully lifted the sachet to Gong Che. Her cheeks were flushed red but her voice was unexpectedly clear.
“The herbs inside this sachet will make your mind more refreshed and clear. I hope the Crown Prince won’t discard it.”
Many people sucked in a breath of cold air. They had never a woman like Su Miaolan who would take the initiative.
What made them even more surprised was that Gong Che took her sachet and looked at it. He slowly smiled. His smile looked extremely enchanting, making everyone stare at him in awe.
“Do you want to marry me?”
His low and gentle voice made Su Miaolan’s face turn red. She didn’t dare to look up.
When he saw her look like this, it made Gong Che bitterly smile. He turned around and looked at the Empress.
“Mother Empress…is this lady feasible?”
His action made Su Miaolan’s burn and she felt very humiliated.
But since she had taken this step, she can’t go back.
The Empress quickly stepped in between the two people. Her expression was icy-cold when she ordered:
“The Prince is drunk, send him back to rest!”
The servants once again came forward to help Gong Che away, but Gong Che just started laughing. He knelt on the ground and burst out laughing. However, his laughter sounded more and more miserable and hollow, until he finally sounded like he was crazy.
“Che’er…”
“Mother Empress!” Gong Che interrupted her and slowly straighten up his body. He pointed at Su Miaolan and casually said:
“Since she wants to marry me…then just let her marry me.”
After he finished speaking, he didn’t need anyone to help him away. He took big strides as he left the main hall, like he wasn’t drunk at all.
He left everyone in the hall in uproar.
The marriage was just settled like this? This…wasn’t this just too casual?
Some people hated Su Miaolan for her method and courage. It was worth the stake. But if the Crown Prince didn’t want her in the end, she would’ve lost all her pride!
Su Miaolan’s heart was beating very fast. She really didn’t expect to win Gong Che’s approval so easily. She was going to become a princess consort! A princess consort!
