Novel Bin Chapter 555 - Gong Jue Is Sad (2)
Therefore, she took a deep breath
"This is your Majesty? I thought it was"
Her eyes instantly flushed red, which made people guess whether there was something else to it. After all, the items were all placed together, maybe the princess got them mixed up?
Gong Cheng felt slightly more at ease now, and he smiled stiffly, "So, did you choose the wrong one?"
Longcheng Tingxue gritted her teeth and nodded lightly. She looked so innocent, that even the Empress was starting to feel less hostile to her.
After all, even if Gong Che didn\'t have this marriage arrangement, she still hoped to have Lou Ye\'s most favored princess to be her daughter-in-law.
"I didn\'t make the wrong choice, it\'s just that there are two of the same jade pendant!"
When she said this, the Emperor frowned and looked at Gong Jue, then said to the eunuch.
"Present it!"
He took a look and found that there was actually another dragon-shaped jade pendant that looked exactly the same! Gong Jue, how dare he! Not only did he deliberately embarrass Princess Lou Ye, but he even embarrassed him! What is he planning to do?!
"Gong Jue! Tell me, what the hell is going on!"
The Emperor was obviously very angry, everyone didn\'t dare to speak, even Longcheng Tingxue kept quiet. She came up with a great idea, if Gongjue was to be punished by the Emperor later, she would plead for forgiveness for him and leave a good impression.
Gong Jue raised his eyebrows slightly, walked out, and bowed at the Emperor.
"Father is angry, why is that so?"
Gong Cheng was fuming with anger and threw the jade pendant to the ground, "Did you do it on purpose, to deliberately confuse Princess Lou Ye? If you did so, you\'re just bullying her!"
Gong Jue coldly looked at the jade pendant that fell to the ground and had broken into several pieces. From the moment he knew about the Emperor\'s plan, he had already planned to do so.
He bought over the eunuch to ensure that the emperor would wear the exact jade pendant today, and when it was his turn to offer an item, there would be nothing else on him to offer, so he would definitely put out his jade pendant. And he would have the exact same piece.
He did think that the emperor might get angry, but so what?
He bent over, picked up the jade pendant pieces on the floor, and said softly.
"You said to offer your most beloved item. Do you remember this jade pendant, father?"
It was so long ago, but Gong Cheng was suddenly reminded about it right when Gong Jue started talking about it!
At that time, he brought some men to hunt and they bumped into a tiger! It was Gong Jue who rescued him, and because of that, Gong Jue was injured and it almost cost him his entire arm.
He was so moved back then, that after Gong Jue recovered, he gifted him a pair of dragon-shaped jade pendants. They both, father and son wore the same jade pendant, it can be regarded as an expression of love towards him!
He immediately came back to his senses, both shocked and guilty, but Gong Jue had already gotten up. He was expressionless, and his tone was cold, he didn\'t seem to be sad at all.
"Perhaps you have many of these jade pendants, but I only have one. It represents some of the memories that I won\'t want to forget. It\'s my most treasured item."
While holding the shattered pieces in his hand, he added faintly, "But if you think that I did it on purpose, then just smash it all you want"
There was no complaint in his words, but every word he said hit Gong Cheng right in the heart, it made him feel bad and he hated himself for being so impulsive! Why did he hurt this child?
Gong Jue was a person that bottled up all his emotions. He seemed rather calm at the moment, but the fact that he picked up the shattered pieces shows how sad he was!
