Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The moment the Empress Dowager said this, everyone fell silent.
Especially An Ruoruo. She never expected the Empress Dowager to be so biased toward Su Qian, and she became even more jealous.
Just as the atmosphere was getting tense, the Emperor, who had been silent all along, cleared his throat and said, “Queen Mother, today is a joyous occasion. There’s no need to get angry over such a small matter. Since Su Qian wants to perform, let her perform.”
The Empress Dowager’s expression changed slightly as she looked at Xiao Zhen. “Emperor..”
The Emperor’s words clearly favored the Prime Minister’s family!
Su Qian’s phoenix-like eyes were shrouded in cold mist as she smiled indifferently. “Thank you for your help, Your Majesty.”
The expressions of the people present also became interesting.
Su Qian actually wanted to dance?
The Su family had always been harsh to Su Qian in the past. She had probably never seen anyone dance before, so how could she know how to dance?
The crowds were just waiting for Su Qian to make a fool of herself. While An Ruoruo was feeling pleased with herself when Su Qian’s phoenix-like eyes suddenly turned and landed on her like a sharp blade.
An Ruoruo’s heart tightened, and a chill ran from the soles of her feet all the way to the top of her head, scaring her so much that she trembled.
When did Su Qian have such a terrifying look in her eyes?
An Ruoruo was alarmed and looked toward the direction of Su Qian, wanting to take a closer look. However, before she took a closer look, Su Qian had already retracted her gaze and said, “Miss An, may I borrow your sword at your waist?” Although An Ruoruo was born of a concubine, her status in the Prime Minister’s Residence was not low. She was a rare talent in martial arts cultivation. At this age, she was already an expert of the early stage of the third rank. Her sword was won in the martial arts compet.i.tion of the younger generation. She was very rare to be able to bring a sword into the palace.
An Ruoruo was reluctant, but she wanted to see Su Qian make a fool of herself. “Of course, Miss Su, please take it.”
Su Qian walked over and took the sword from An Ruoruo’s hand. Under the scrutiny of everyone’s gaze, she stood in the center of the banquet hall.
The Empress Dowager felt a little heartbroken, but since things had already come to this, she could not stop her. She could only ask gently, “Miss Su, do you need an accompaniment?”
“No need.” As Su Qian spoke, the smile on her face disappeared. Under everyone’s mocking gazes, she slowly raised the sword in her hand and gripped the hilt tightly. The sword hummed as if a sharp blade was aimed at the neck. A chilling killing intent swept across, scaring everyone so much that they trembled. That terrifying feeling was as if the G.o.d of death had descended!
The sharp edge of the longsword reflected in Su Qian’s enchanting phoenix-like eyes. She pulled out the longsword under everyone’s watchful eyes. Her charming figure spun quickly in the air like a peony fluttering in the wind. Her black eyes were twinkling like stars, and with every move she made was mesmerizing.
The sharpness of the long sword and the coquettish appearance of the woman should have been discordant, but when it came to Su Qian, the disharmony vanished instantly.
There wasn’t even any accompaniment around her, but every movement she made was as if a light touch on everyone’s heart, attracting everyone’s attention. As she danced gently, the sword in her hand kept sweeping fiercely, which made people’s hearts tremble!
Not only her dance movement, but even the speed and method of his swordplay were as fast as the wind. Where was the look of a waste?
Just as everyone was surprised and amazed by Su Qian’s dance, the crisp sound of a flute entered everyone’s ears.
The melodious sound of the flute was heart-wrenching, making Su Qian’s dance steps appear more graceful than before..
