Sleepless Night

Previously, Gu Hua's presence was most easily overlooked in the entire Gu household. After all, in the past, even if she disappeared for a month, no one would come looking for her. 

However, this time, the entire Gu Family was in an uproar.

There wasn't really any other reason besides the fact that on this day, news was suddenly released from the Imperial Palace. In three days, the Imperial Palace would host an evening banquet with the Emperor in the garden, and each official must bring there female family member.

Although it wasn't obvious, anybody with an eye for detail would know that the Emperor is holding a drafting feast for the Crown Prince.

Hua Xiu Yi only had a single concubine, and still didn't have the main wife, so naturally, it needed to choose a new one.

At once, all the ministers and officials rolled up their sleeves for battle and began to prepare.

As long as their own daughter or blood-relative was chosen to become the Crown Prince's main wife, their own positions would definitely rise up like a phoenix flying to a branch. Perhaps in the future, they might even become the nation's mother.

Hence, His Imperial Majesty released an edict: All court ministers and officials must come with any unmarried daughters to attend the evening banquet.

If Gu Hua were the same good-for-nothing that she used to be in the past, it would not have mattered whether she attended the party or not. But now, the situation was different. 

For this reason, General Gu was forced to send his men to find Gu Hua.

But regardless of how much fuss the Gu Family was making, Gu Hua who was still inside her room for closed-door cultivation wasn't a little bit disturbed and was blissfully unaware of the situation in the world outside.

This was a sleepless night for Gu family.

By the time Gu Hua finally appeared before the eyes of the Gu Family, it was the twelfth hour. The Gu Family members, who had long wished for her to stay far away, have never looked forward to her return as much as they did today. 

When Gu Hua heard the news, her eyes couldn't help but flash with interest.

The Crown Prince was choosing the main wife, and if she goes, then wouldn't she be ridiculed by everybody? Since everyone still thinks that she does not have any spiritual power.

She really didn't know what this Emperor was thinking. It's not like it would matter if she saw the Crown Prince selecting a new wife.

"Big sister, will you be attending the evening banquet?" Gu Ming asked Gu Hua as his little mouth excitedly munched on the snack present in front of him.

Gh Hua sipped the tea, her exquisite and elegant face revealing a faint, graceful smile "Since it's been ordered everybody must go, then naturally I am too."

"Won't you be laughed at?" Gu Ming's face was bitter.

Previously, when he asked his big sister why they are not allowed to go to any banquets she told him that if they were going to any banquet they will be laughed at so, they should not worry about any banquet and should keep each other company.

So, this time he does not want to go to the banquet he really didn't want to see his big sister ridiculed, he wants to become powerful so that he can protect her.

Hearing that, Gu Hua smile widened, her face became proud but playful. " Well, your big sister is so powerful who would dare to laugh at me. Ummm... But if someone dares to laugh at us then we will just break their teeth."

Gu Ming stared at Gu Hua for a minute then smiled widely as one can see his one missing teeth.
