Chapter 230: The Stuttering Prince Sui
After a long time, everyone came back to their senses, and suddenly someone asked to see Jiang Yimo's folding fan and facial mask.
Jiang Yimo agreed readily.
The emperor and the queen were full of curiosity and could not wait to let her go up to the main stage. After a careful inspection, they were both dumbfounded and astonished.
However, the Queen suddenly suggested, "Miss Jiang, why don't you change your face in front of me and the Emperor? I and the Emperor really want to see more clearly how you change your face."
Hearing this, Jiang Yimo smiled slightly and agreed without hesitation: "Okay."
Then he added: "But I still need Miss Lu's help."
When Lu Jialing heard this, she was so angry that she almost vomited blood, but she finally gritted her teeth and imitated the croaking of a frog, making a "quack" sound.
The frog croaking immediately caused the whole audience to burst into laughter, and Lu Jialing's expression became even more gloomy.
Not only that, Prime Minister Lu and Concubine Xiao also looked extremely unhappy. After all, Prime Minister Lu was Lu Jialing's father, and everyone's sneers at his daughter naturally made him lose face.
As for Concubine Xiao, she was Lu Jialing's biological aunt. She felt ashamed to see her niece being humiliated.
At the same time, Lu Jialing made a clear frog call.
At this moment, Jiang Yimo also quickly waved the folding fan in front of the emperor, the queen and the queen mother.
She just shook her wrist lightly and instantly completed another face-changing performance!
Under the astonished gazes of the emperor and the empress, Jiang Yimo's expression kept changing like magic.
Her movements were as fast as lightning, making it hard to keep up with the action. In the blink of an eye, a completely new face appeared before everyone's eyes.
However, because the changes were so rapid, the emperor and the queen were stunned for a long time and had no idea what was happening.
Their eyes widened with expressions of disbelief, and they were unable to move as if they were under a spell.
Then, the emperor still didn't see clearly how Jiang Yimo changed her face, so he said helplessly: "I still didn't see it clearly?" Then, he looked at Lu Jialing and said: "Let Miss Jiang learn the sounds of those animals again! Let her change her face for me again."
Lu Jialing did not dare to delay and immediately obeyed the order. However, after trying again and again, she could only imitate the calls of three or four animals.
However, Jiang Yimo didn't want to make things difficult for Lu Jialing anymore. As long as Lu Jialing learned the sounds of animals, Jiang Yimo would once again use her magical face-changing skills.
I saw her changing her facial expressions so skillfully and at such a fast speed that it was hard to keep up.
However, despite this, the Emperor and Empress continued to shake their heads, indicating that they still could not fully understand this wonderful performance.
The emperor couldn't help but sigh: "This face-changing technique is really wonderful! This is the first time I have seen it. Unfortunately, my eyesight is poor. I have watched it several times but failed to see the mystery of face-changing."
The Queen also echoed, "Yes, Miss Jiang's face-changing skills are truly amazing, but it's too fast. I stared at her without blinking and didn't see clearly how she changed her face."
After listening to what the emperor and empress said, Jiang Yimo reminded Lu Jialing to cooperate with her in learning the calls. Then Jiang Yimo deliberately slowed down the speed of changing her face in front of the emperor and empress, and changed it several times.
After watching it, the emperor and the empress nodded with satisfaction and praised Jiang Yimo's performance.
Afterwards, Jiang Yimo walked down the stage again and changed her expression several times in front of the officials and their families below the stage.
Everyone was mesmerized. The atmosphere was extremely warm. Everyone applauded and cheered, cheering for this wonderful performance.
Jiang Yimo shined tonight and became the focus of everyone's attention; on the other hand, Lu Jialing lost face and was in a very embarrassing situation.
After Jiang Yimo finished her wonderful performance, the people present had no interest in continuing to participate in games such as passing the flower and guessing riddles.
At this time, the emperor ordered the dancers to perform on stage, and everyone began to enjoy fine wine and delicious food.
At the same time, Feng Wuhen kept staring at Jiang Yimo until she successfully changed her face and returned to her seat next to him.
His eyes were filled with complex emotions, as if he had a thousand words to say, but in the end it only turned into a brief greeting: "Momo, why do you have so much?"
After hearing this, Jiang Yimo turned her head and stared at him. She saw her own reflection in Feng Wuhen's pupils and smiled.
"Your Majesty, actually, there are still many things I can't do, for example: I don't know ancient martial arts, I don't know Qinggong, and I can't make a woman pregnant... and so on."
Feng Wuhen: “…”
"Momo, I didn't say anything."
Jiang Yimo looked at Feng Wuhen's speechless expression and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Just as the two were being affectionate with each other, a figure slowly walked towards them.
"Seventh...Seventh Brother, Miss Jiang...Miss Jiang, let's...have a drink."
This person was wearing a dark blue python robe and had a pretty face, but he stuttered when he spoke, which made people laugh and cry.
When Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen heard the stuttering voice, they turned around at the same time and looked at the uninvited guest.
Feng Wuhen glanced at the person who came, and immediately pulled Jiang Yimo up. Then, Feng Wuhen introduced Jiang Yimo enthusiastically: "Momo, this is my eldest brother, Prince Sui. Before this, he had been accompanying the Queen Mother and the Queen to the temporary palace to recuperate, and then rushed to the temple to pray for the welfare of our Donglin Kingdom. It was not until the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival that he returned to the palace with the Queen Mother, the Queen and others."
Jiang Yimo had heard some stories about Prince Sui, but no one had ever told her that Prince Sui was a stutterer.
What good can a stuttering prince do, even if he is the son of the current queen and has great abilities?
After all, as a king, one needs to have good eloquence and expression skills in order to govern the country and lead the people.
How could a person who couldn't even speak clearly be responsible for such an important task?
After Jiang Yimo patiently listened to Feng Wuhen's introduction of King Sui, she did not show any contempt or ridicule. Instead, she looked at King Sui with a smile on her face, her eyes full of the respect she should have for others.
At this moment, she opened her red lips slightly, and then said softly: "I have heard of His Royal Highness Sui Wang's great name for a long time, and today I see that it is indeed worthy of the reputation! Earlier, His Royal Highness Xie Wang mentioned that you are well-informed and elegant..."
As soon as the words fell, King Sui was stunned - this was the first time in his life that he heard someone praise him like this, but he did not feel any annoyance at all, and even couldn't help but give the other person a friendly smile.
