Rebirth of the Tyrant’s Pet: Regent Prince is too Fierce-Chapter 518: Talented Princess (1)
Chapter 518 Talented Princess (1)
The more she thought about it, the more interested she became, and the wine also went down one cup after another. God knows that when she was reborn, she really didn’t want to get emotionally involved with anyone anymore, and she had no idea why things would turn out this way now. Why would those two fall in love with her?
So, with a wave of her hand, everyone turned quiet, finally allowing her ears to ease up a little.
Everyone thought she had something to say and had all perked up their ears to listen, but Gong Yimo only raised her eyes and said…
“Please lower your voices, this princess is a little tired.”
As soon as she said thus, the faces of everyone present turned bad. Even the empress felt that Gong Yimo was sulking at what she was trying to do, but what can she do? It’s not that she never talked to her son, but would she have to do this if her son would listen?
But since she was the one who invited her, she couldn’t just ask Gong Yimo to go back to rest if she’s tired, putting her in a dilemma.
At this moment, a very keen-eyed madam said, “Of course, the princess is still young, I’m sure you would not like to hear us married women talk about family matters. Why don’t we have a show of talent? There are many talented young ladies here so let her have a gander. Hopefully the princess will be able to find you a good man in the future!”
As soon as she said this, many ladies echoed her sentiments.
Even though she’s the empress, frankly, even the other consorts have to avoid seeking trouble with her. Gong Yimo is the only one who can put her at such an edge, which troubled the empress who had been smooth sailing all these years. She simply couldn’t help it, there was nothing that could give her power over Gong Yimo.
The first to step up is the Qin family’s daughter, QIn Ke’er. She is 18 years old this year and should have been married, but she was too excellent and too picky that her marriage dragged till now. So, other than Su Miaolan, she should be the oldest unmarried lady here.
She bowed to the empress, then to Gong Yimo.
“This humble one is inadequate, but please let me perform. If I may borrow My Lady’s zither.”
The empress smiled and waved her hand, saying to the servants, “Go and fetch my instrument.”
“Yes.”
The servants quickly brought the zither over. Gong Yimo looked on from the side with a cold eye. After Qin Ke’er tested the notes, she began playing.
The gentle sound of the zither sounded, which made everything feel slightly quiet in the winter day. Perhaps it fit her mood at the moment, but Gong Yimo thought that if Gong Jue was going to marry anyone, then Qin Ke’er would be a good choice. At least she wasn’t a strong-willed person. She’s much better than that ambitious little princess.
While thinking, she continued to drink. It seemed as if this low alcohol wine was starting to get her a little tipsy.
As one performance ended, another began. There weren’t many people around, and that is why these noble ladies are so daring today, wanting to show their best sides. The empress would comment from time to time, and the atmosphere gradually livened up.
At this time, a lady who was performing on the xiao received a good comment, winning many praises from the empress. She was given much praise and rewards, yet she did not go down, but instead bowed to Gong Yimo and said…
“I am but a humble woman, if we were truly to speak of talent, then the princess is a model for our admiration! I wonder if we have the honor to appreciate the princess’ talents today?”
Her words caused the empress’s expression to stiffen. Even her mother’s face changed in a flash.
“Chang’er, don’t be ridiculous!”
Then, she quickly got up to pay apologies to Gong Yimo.
“Please forgive my daughter, Princess. She is young and insensible, so I hope you can forgive her…”
Being called out, Gong Yimo’s eyes turned to the girl.
