Chapter 228 Let Miss Lu learn animal sounds
"Miss Jiang, the embroidered ball just now fell right on you." Lu Jialing kindly reminded her that this was Jiang Yimo's task.
"Yes, but didn't you also make a special request to me?" Jiang Yimo responded without showing any weakness. "It was originally just a simple guessing game, but when it was my turn, you had to come up with a unique performance."
Humph, if I didn't drag you into this chaos, you would really think I'm easy to bully!
As soon as the voice fell, the Li Wang standing by could not help but speak up for Jiang Yimo: "Ms. Lu, the original rules of the game clearly stated that you were the one who came up with the riddle, and as long as Miss Jiang could guess the answer, she would pass. But when the time came, you changed the rules of the game without authorization, which is really unreasonable. Now Miss Jiang just asked you to perform like her, what's wrong with that?"
King Li's words immediately left Lu Jialing speechless.
At this time, the Queen finally spoke: "Miss Lu, Prince Li is right. Since Miss Jiang has never refused your request, you should give her the respect she deserves."
Seeing that even the Queen said so, Lu Jialing could not say a word of refusal even though she was extremely reluctant. After all, if she dared to disobey the Emperor's order, the consequences would be disastrous!
However, deep down in her heart, she really couldn't accept such an arrangement - she was obviously unwilling to play the role of Jiang Yimo's foil, but now the situation forced her to do so. If she really refused, she would probably not only not end up well, but would even implicate her father, Prime Minister Lu.
In this dilemma, Lu Jialing couldn't help but fall into deep thought...
At the same time, Prime Minister Lu's angry, murderous gaze was like a thorn in her back, making her feel extremely stressed.
After struggling and weighing the pros and cons for several times, Lu Jialing, who was finally unwilling to give in, bit her lip and squeezed out a word from between her teeth: "Okay, I'll obey your command!" Her words were full of grievance and helplessness.
Jiang Yimo looked at Lu Jialing's face, which looked as if she had eaten shit, and she felt so happy. Humph, I told you to have bad intentions, and now you have to bear the consequences!
Then, Jiang Yimo stood up from her seat slowly, and Lu Jialing followed her closely and left their respective seats.
"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, and Queen, I need to go out for some preparation before I go on stage to perform. Please forgive me." Jiang Yimo bowed respectfully to everyone on the main stage.
As soon as the words fell, the old emperor immediately waved his hand at her with a smile on his face, saying: "Haha, OK, I approve it!"
After getting the emperor's approval, Jiang Yimo immediately turned around and left quickly, leaving Lu Jialing standing alone in the middle of the banquet hall, making her feel extremely awkward.
This made Lu Jialing very upset. She was so angry that she wanted to stamp her feet, but everyone present today was a powerful person, so she didn't dare to show her temper. She could only curse Jiang Yimo in her heart.
But not long after, Jiang Yimo came back with a printed folding fan in her hand and walked to the center of the banquet hall.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, and the Queen, I will now present you with a wonderful face-changing magic show."
"During this process, every time Miss Lu imitates the sound of an animal, I will change my facial expression. Whether it's a dog barking 'woof woof', a cat meowing 'meow meow', or a bird singing 'chi chirping'... anything like that is fine."
"But you can't just keep learning the sounds of one animal. You need to learn the sounds of at least three animals, taking turns. What do you think, Miss Lu?"
Before Jiang Yimo could finish her words, Lu Jialing was already so furious that she wished she could tear the person in front of her into pieces right away. How could she agree with him at all?
Jiang Yimo, ah Jiang Yimo, you are such a despicable little bitch! How dare you humiliate me so blatantly!
At this moment, Prime Minister Lu, who was sitting on one side of the banquet hall, heard Jiang Yimo humiliating his beloved daughter in this way. His face instantly became extremely gloomy, as if water could drip out of it, which was chilling.
"Jiang Yimo, stop being so presumptuous! You are clearly deliberately humiliating me!"
Lu Jialing was trembling with energy, her beautiful eyes flashing with cold light, like two sharp blades piercing straight at Jiang Yimo. If she hadn't tried her best to restrain herself, she would have been unable to suppress the urge to eat her alive, and she shouted angrily.
"But Miss Lu, if you don't learn to scream, how can I become a magical and amazing face-changing magician?"
The corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she looked at Lu Jialing with a smile, her eyes flashing with teasing and mockery.
Lu Jialing was so angry that she was shaking all over, her face turned red and white, and she was extremely embarrassed. She stared at the other person with wide eyes, but couldn't say a complete sentence.
At this moment, everyone present remained silent because no one spoke on the main stage.
After all, no one wants to step forward rashly and get into trouble.
Moreover, when the banquet just started, the emperor and the empress were already dissatisfied with Lu Jialing's pretentiousness. Since the emperor and the empress did not say anything, naturally no one was willing to defend or support her.
Most of the people present were opportunists, and a small number were there to watch the show.
As for the Queen Mother, she looked extremely ugly the whole night, as pale as paper and bloodless, as if she had been hiding something. Although I had heard before that the Queen Mother was quite fond of Miss Lu, facing the current situation, the Queen Mother did not say a word to defend her.
As a result, the people off the field became more fearful, and no one dared to stand up openly to defend Lu Jialing.
However, after a while, one of the concubines could no longer suppress her anger. She could not stand Jiang Yimo's ruthless humiliation and trampling of Lu Jialing.
So, the concubine defended Lu Jialing righteously: "Miss Jiang, please be sensible in what you do! Miss Lu is the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Lu and has an extremely noble status." Her voice was very loud, and everyone's eyes were instantly attracted to her.
"My lady, please understand! I absolutely do not have the slightest intention of humiliating Miss Lu!"
"It was Miss Lu who agreed to perform on stage with me. If that's the case, then Miss Lu should give her full cooperation. Otherwise, how can this show go on?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Yimo suddenly raised her head, stared at the strange concubine in front of her with a sharp gaze, and questioned fearlessly: "How can you say it is a humiliation? Don't you see that our play already has plot designs such as imitating dog barking and cat meowing? This is an indispensable part of the whole performance! I really just want to perform this face-changing magic well, and I have no other intentions!"
After saying this, Jiang Yimo couldn't help but sneer in her heart. Just when Lu Jialing proposed to change the rules of the game, did anyone stand up to speak a fair word for her? Now, everyone has jumped out to act as a messenger of justice.
Humph, this is so ridiculous!
