Chapter 519 Talented Princess (2)
Before she could speak, Su Miaolan suddenly smiled and interjected. “No wonder Sister Xu is curious. We sisters often say in private that the princess is an example for us ladies to learn from. I just wonder what talents the princesses do know. if the princess is willing to show us a little, then it will surely take the city by storm. Everyone will be vying to follow suit!”
Her words appeared to be praises, but who doesn’t know of Gong Yimo’s origins? Other than the fact that they had no idea where she learned her martial arts from, she may have many whimsical ideas in the eyes of others, but she could very well be illiterate.
And those industries she set up, they were naturally dampened in the eyes of the ladies only focusing their eyes within the harem. They believed that those men were overpraising her merely out of novelty.
The Marquess of Zhen really wanted to sigh. She really has no idea why her daughter was so adamant about butting heads with her. Does she wish to see Gong Yimo make a fool of herself?
But Su Miaolan was puffing her chest. She was soon to become the crown princess! Why would she be inferior to Gong Yimo? She did not believe that the empress would not help her!
Gong Yimo smiled and did not answer. Instead, she asked…
“I heard that Miss Su is a good dancer, I wonder if this princess has the honor to see it?”
Gong Yimo’s words caused Su Miaolan’s face to stiffen slightly. “What this humble lady means is…”
“Are you unwilling?” GOng Yimo interrupted her domineeringly and raised a brow. At this moment, she was sitting sideways on her seat, propping her jaw up with one hand.
“Are you unwilling to perform for this princess, or are you unwilling to perform for Mother Empress?”
Su Miaolan immediately got up and kneeled. “This one does not have such ideas at all!”
The empress sneered
It was clear that Gong Yimo wasn’t an easy person to talk to, yet Su Miaolan just had to run straight into the spear out of anger. In that case, there was nothing she could say. She could not humiliate Gong Yimo in order to help Su Miaolan.
“Since Miaolan is up for it, then why don’t we have a performance? This princess is truly in luck today.”
Su Miaolan raised her head in surprise. She clearly wanted Gong Yimo to make a fool of herself, but she did not expect her to be the one to make a fool of herself! In the end, her world view was still limited and does not understand what the seven-word title bestowed upon her by the emperor meant. Rather, she thought too highly of herself!
There was no way she could get out of this dance. If she does badly, that would mean her reputation means nothing; if she does well, then she would be nothing more than a jester. She couldn’t help but feel resentful. Is she really unable to compare with Gong Yimo as the crown princess?
The melody began to play. No matter how reluctant she was, she could only dance. All the ladies have already quieted down as if afraid to incur the ire of Gong Yimo. The empress’s attitude gave them the awareness that Gong Yimo’s status was higher. This is someone that can make the crown princess step down with just a single word!
At this moment, someone whispered into the empress’s ear. The eyes of the sullen-faced empress suddenly lit up, and she stood up abruptly!
As soon as she got up, she heard the laugh of a man from the distance.
“Mother Empress, are you surprised?”
“Che’er!”
Gong Che had unexpectedly returned early and even came in secret, giving her a great surprise!
Even Gong Yimo who was a little lost in thought looked over at the door.
Sure enough, it’s him…
Gong Che, at twenty-one years old, has gotten rid of his youthfulness of that year and has gained a successful reputation and a secure position. He had a restrained temperament and his features had grown even more handsome!
Just like a beautifully polished jade, everyone was in awe!
