The atmosphere in the banquet hall suddenly became somewhat tense, even the musicians who were playing the ceremonial music instinctively stopped their instruments and looked towards Chu Mo.
Chu Mo was very ugly, and his smile made him look even uglier. Only his pair of eyes were exceptionally bright and pure. However, this purity was completely overshadowed by his unsightly appearance, noticed by no one except his parents and a few close relatives.
He stepped forward and first saluted the Emperor: "Your Majesty's favor overwhelms me with fear and trepidation."
The young man's voice was clean and crisp. It wasn't at all bashful as people imagined, nor was he servile and obsequious. He lifted his head and boldly looked at the slightly intoxicated face of the Emperor: "But I dare not accept."
Hu!
At that moment, both Chu Tianji and Ji Qingyu couldn't help but let out long breaths. Simultaneously, a feeling of desolation, sorrow, and heartache surged forth.
The child was wronged!
