Everyone's eyes were on her. Even the empress was a little curious.
"What's wrong?"
This wasn't an impulse. Su Miaolan had truly prepared!
"Your Highness..."
She bowed to Gong Che. Gong Che's originally doting smile had been withdrawn and he looked at her somewhat confusedly. He must have forgotten at this moment that Su Miaolan was someone he had a marriage contract with.
Smiling bashfully, Su Miaolan retrieved an item from her robe.
"This humble one has a gift for His Highness, hoping His Highness would not mind to accept it."
Gong Che's smile froze for a moment. Many of the noblewomen around felt that Su Miaolan had gone over the line, but in the end, she was the future crown princess. The crown prince didn't even say anything, so they couldn't either.

The empress only froze for a moment before she said with a smile, "How thoughtful, quickly show us what wonderful thing you've brought."
Su Miaolan gave Gong Che a shy glance and handed over the object in her hand.
But thinking about it, even if someone brings it to light in the future, she can say that she learned from her. With her identity as crown princess, she's sure that smart woman wouldn't mind having an extra disciple.
Before Gong Che could speak, the empress chuckled. "I have long heard of Miss Su's excellent embroidery skills! How thoughtful. Che'er, aren't you going to accept it?"
She glared at Gong Che, signaling him to accept him so as to not embarrass the girl.
Being in the limelight once again, Su Miaolan felt overjoyed. Raising up her head, she smiled proudly. "This is what I should do."
When she said this, she was glancing proudly at Gong Yimo.
"I only hope that...it can accompany you at all times, Your Highness."
Might as well just say that you want to be with the crown prince all the time!
This was the thought shared by many of the noble ladies. They were quite disgusted by Su Miaolan's boldness.
Gong Yimo felt a sour taste in her mouth. How desperate is she to get married? But it does make sense. After Gong Che rose up in his last life, Su Miaolan was also anxious to marry him. In this life, Gong Che is younger and even more majestic than in the last life, so it was inevitable that she would grasp on so tightly and be so impatient.
But Gong Yimo wasn't the only one disgusted. Gong Che also thought that Su Miaolan's words were too daring. He suddenly said...
"I will accept this pouch, but please be careful with what you say, Miss Su."
If he had not mentioned this, then others would not say anything. But with a single sentence, it felt as if the entire crowd had come forth to slap Su Miaolan's face! Even if he was merely speaking the truth, it was such an embarrassing scene!
