After these two farce, Murong Yan seemed to be very absent-minded towards the rest of the performance, and began to whisper to her personal nanny who was standing by her side.

"This subject's daughter, Gu Moxue, offers a song to the Empress and all of your highness!" Gu Moxue wore a colorful butterfly dress with golden silk around her waist and a luan dress. She slowly and gracefully walked up onto the stage, her eyes flowing with the flow, attracting the gazes of all the noble young masters. She couldn't help but have a proud look in the corner of her eye.

Gu Moxue maintained her posture of greeting, but she still couldn't hear the empress's voice say "skip the formalities". She couldn't help but feel anxious as she raised her head to peek at the empress, only to discover that the empress wasn't looking at him at all. Instead, she was chatting and laughing with the empress by her side.

"This subject's daughter, Gu Moxue, offers a song to the Empress and her highnesses!" Gu Moxue endured the awkwardness in her heart, and said loudly once again, provoking the laughter of the gold girls below the stage, causing Gu Moxue's face to finally flush a little.

"Let's begin!" Perhaps, this time, the sound was loud enough that the empress heard it, but the first sentence was extremely casual. The fingernail in Gu Moxue's hand had almost sunk into the meat.

Since she was young, she had always been in the backyard of the Prime Minister's Estate. She had never suffered so much.

Even if the person on top was the empress, he shouldn't have looked down on her so much!

The music started to play. Gu Moxue smiled and started to dance, from time to time, she would glance towards the crown prince and empress from the corner of her eyes, trying to see the astonishment in their eyes.

Empress Murong Yan kept mumbling to the mama beside her absentmindedly all this while, and occasionally glanced at Gu Moxue dancing on the stage. Coincidentally, she noticed that one of her spinning movements was a little inappropriate and couldn't help but to frown, a trace of disgust and disdain shooting out from her eyes.

Gu Moxue had always been paying careful attention to the Empress's movements the whole time. When she saw the Queen turn to look at her, she was just happy, but in the next moment, the Queen's eyes made her heart fluster. Her movements started to lose standards, and then she suddenly lost her footing and fell down from the stage heavily.

When the Queen saw this, she covered her face once again.

Gu Moxue felt a heart-wrenching pain on her legs, but she didn't have the time to think about it now, because the Empress's final action had completely shattered her hope of becoming the Crown Prince's wife.

"What's going on? "Why is it Gu Xiang's daughter again?" Empress Murong Yan immediately stood up with a dignified look on her face.

"Please forgive me, Empress. Your subject's daughter …"

"Men, bring him to the Warm Pavilion and ask for a royal physician!" Just as Gu Moxue wanted to explain, he was interrupted by the Queen. She was not given any chance to speak.

Two palace maids from left and right helped Gu Moxue up from the ground, forcefully bringing her away from the imperial garden.

A series of accidents happened, and they were all the daughters of the Prime Minister's household. The coldness on Murong Yan's face became more and more severe, and after Gu Moxue was brought down the stairs, her face became darker and darker.

And the next one up on stage, just so happened to be Gu Morou.

Gu Morou gracefully walked out of his seat and walked up to the stage with a bland expression, as if everything that had happened in front of her had not affected her at all.

"Good mental fortitude!" Although she was feeling agitated, Empress Murong Yan's attention had finally returned to the stage. Looking at Gu Morou's indifferent face, she gave birth to a trace of admiration.

"We pay our respects to the Queen's Empress!" Instead of bowing like the others, Gu Morou kneeled on the stage, prostrating herself with a respectful attitude with her face close to the ground.

Queen Murong Yan was puzzled, why did this girl have such a big gift from the start? This was a Phoenix Festival, she wanted to see her acting skills, not see her kneel down?

"Which clan are you from? Why did you perform such a large ceremony at this time?" Although she was slightly dissatisfied, Empress Murong Yan still patiently wanted to know everything.

If she wanted to use this method to open up a different path, she would not buy it.

When I return to Empress, this subject is Prime Minister Gu's second daughter. Just now, this subject's eldest sister and third sister were disrespectful in front of Empress, startling the phoenix chariot. This subject's heart is filled with fear, I apologize to Empress on behalf of my eldest sister and fourth sister! Gu Morou raised her head and said a few words that were neither humble nor sarcastic, filled with sincerity.

Gu Shiyi looked up at Gu Morou, her eyes filled with coldness, she knew Gu Morou would say something like that.

and Gu Moxue had been defeated repeatedly. If she had reported her performance to herself like the others on stage, it would definitely not attract the empress's attention. It might even be because of the influence of the other two people, and she would be disgusted by them.

Now that she kneeled down, she had already attracted the attention of the empress and was beginning to have a whole new level of respect for her.

"Oh, you're quite considerate. According to my knowledge, the four daughters of the Prime Minister's Palace were given to different wives. Since your other two sisters lost, it shouldn't be more beneficial to you!" Empress Murong Yan was a little surprised, she did not expect Gu Morou to say such a thing, but looking at her sincere attitude, it made her believe it somewhat. However, she had been in the palace for many years, and had developed a suspicious personality, so she decided to give Gu Morou a try.

This subject's daughter is terrified, the first rule of the Gu family is that siblings must love each other, and father and mother have taught this subject and daughter like that since they were young. In this subject's heart, although elder sister and fourth sister are not born from the same mother, they are actually like the same mother, so this subject is willing to beg for their forgiveness, and also willing to receive punishment on their behalf! Gu Morou's voice, expression, and expression, did not have a trace of hesitation.

"Are you willing to take the punishment for them?" Although Gu Morou said it clearly, Empress Murong Yan was still unwilling to believe it.

"Although this subject's daughter is my younger sister, she's still my older sister. It's only right and proper for me to take their punishments in their stead, and I'm willing to do so as well!" After Gu Morou finished speaking, she gave the Empress another great bow.

Someone, Gu Moxue has disgraced herself in front of the phoenix and deserves to be caned ten times. But Gu Morou has requested that she be caned on her behalf, and if you bring him down, he will be caned twenty times! Empress Murong Yan had a dignified look on her face, she did not believe that Gu Morou could continue acting at a time like this.

However, she saw that Gu Morou still walked down the stage indifferently, following the two guards out.

"Halt!" The Queen bellowed, this Gu Morou was actually willing to be punished?

Gu Morou immediately knelt down, with a face full of fear and trepidation.

The Queen stared at Gu Morou coldly, and started to size her up seriously.

It was a very common bun, and the beaded jade hairpin was also an ordinary item. It was quite normal, without any splendor, and the clothes were also ordinary light green colored butterflies flying flowers Yun Jin Chang. This kind of woman, in the midst of all these coquettish and enchanting girls, had nothing special at all.
