Bab 1089: Ascending the Throne Together

Gu Bailu wasn't overthinking it.

Many people heard that the emperor had issued a decree to appoint a crown prince, and that the crown prince would ascend the throne when court opened. The first thing they thought of… was that they could eat something good again.

The palace banquet this time definitely wouldn't be like the one on New Year's Eve, which was full of cold, tasteless dishes.

This was simply a joyous matter for the nobles.

After the imperial edict was issued, Prince Zi's residence was full of people as carriages full of gifts were sent over every day.

However, Gu Bailu said in amusement, "I'm afraid that Prince Zi's residence already has the most popular gifts."

What kind of gifts could the people give? They were all antiques and ornaments.

However, some of the noble families were scraping the barrel with these.

They couldn't take out the latest fashion or beautiful makeup.
