  His words caused Gong Cheng’s expression to stiffen and looked at them even more sharply.

  “Yes, there will be no more Princess of Zhaoyang from today!” Gong Cheng pondered for a moment before speaking to Gong Yimo.

  “Mo’er, come forward and hear my grant!”


  “Yes!”


  “Our daughter, Yimo, is clever, courageous, and devoted to her country, more so than any man! From today onwards, I proclaim you Princess of Fenggui Rongji! You may enjoy the same benefits of the crown prince and you are granted stay in the Taiji Palace!”


  Fenggui Rongji—Phoenix returns with glory!

  These four words shocked everyone in the room! A phoenix returning with glory. As the phoenix returns to its nest, it blesses the world with glory!

  From the time they came in, they guessed that Gong Yimo’s status would be restored, but they didn’t think she would receive such a title. And, to enjoy the benefit of a crown prince! Could she become a female crown prince?

  Moreover, the Taiji Palace! This honorary favor made them unconsciously recall the scene at the cold palace when the emperor bestowed the title. This was just like that time……No! This is something bigger! Gong Yimo, not only had she returned, she had even risen, crossing heights unattainable by all in one fell swoop!

  But this made Gong Jue even more uneasy. Never has any princess received such honor, so the more she obtained, the more it proved that his Imperial Sister was sacrificing!

  Gong Yimo listened quietly and knelt at Gong Cheng’s feet, kowtowing deeply despite the exclamations of everyone behind her.

  “Your Majesty, this child accepts your decree!”


  The way the crowd looked at her was no longer the same after they heard those words!

  She was no longer a commoner who fled the country, not the disgraced Princess of Zhaoqing, but a phoenix returning with glory! Even princes below the rank of crown prince had to bow to her!

  What is honor? This is honor!

  Seeing how calm she was, Gong Cheng nodded in satisfaction and threw his head back in laughter.

  “Very good! We will pick an auspicious day to bring offerings to the heavens and our ancestors! This is a great amnesty for all to celebrate!”


  It was impossible for anyone to go against Gong Cheng’s words at this time, and they all bowed down.

  “Thank you for your honorable grace, Your Majesty! Your Majesty’s grace is everlasting and blessed for all eternity!”


  “Thank you for your honorable grace, Your Majesty!!”


  In the layers upon layers of congratulations, everyone knelt down while Gong Cheng himself took two steps forward to help Gong Yimo up, and looked at the crowd together with her from above, sharing this honor!

  This……This is power!

  Power to grant life or death at the wave of a hand!

  Gong Yimo closed her eyes and calmed the agitation in her heart.

  She did not forget that this was only the first step. There were only a few people here and the Emperor was in a good mood, so they didn’t dare to refute, but that may not necessarily be the case tomorrow. If she wanted to stay firmly in her position as Princess, then Gong Cheng had more headaches to come.

  When everyone scattered, Gong Yimo left with Gong Jue.

  She has now been bestowed the honor to stay in the palace so she could not leave for some time. Surely the Emperor will grant her another residence in the future after he was completely at ease with her, but she was in no hurry anyway.

  The sky had grown dim at this moment with large clouds piling up in the sky, turning it gray. While Gong Jue was holding a lamp, he walked side by side with Gong Yimo.

  “Imperial Sister……”


  He suddenly smiled. “I’ve always called you Imperial Sister, but I didn’t think you would really be my Imperial Sister again now.”


  He looked like a banished immortal in the night breeze with his delicate features, his clothes fluttering in the wind, and his eyes clear as ink jade.

  When Gong Yimo saw not a single hint of difference in his expression, she couldn’t help but ask, “Do you resent me?”


  He raised his eyebrows slightly.

  “For what?”


  Gong Yimo bit her lower lip.
