The Wild Empress of the Evil Emperor
17. Chapter 17: The Hard Crown Prince (2)
Everyone knew that the Luo Family Master and the Gu Family, the Right General and the Left General respectively, never got along. However, the Luo Family Mistress, Luo Yin, was a useless relative spirit of Gu Ruoyun. He has even defended himself, several times.
But Luo Yin's voice was loud enough to successfully draw the attention of everyone in the room towards Gu Ruoyun.
"Gu Ruoyun, from the Gu Family? Wasn't he notoriously useless in the Azure Dragon Country? Even if the citizens of the Azure Dragon Country had never heard of Gu Shengxiao, they would have already heard of Gu Ruoyun. Besides, I've heard that he bravely challenged the Ling Family's nobles to a duel."
"Tsk tsk, the Ling Family noble is level five in the Qi Collection ranks. But I've heard that this Gu Ruoyun has been stuck at level two for so many years."
"Although His Majesty gave permission to the officials to bring their children to the celebration, a useless person like Gu Ruoyun should not have the right to show her face, right?"
Hearing the ridicule from the crowd, General Gu's face turned from red to white, hoping he could kill this useless Gu Ruoyun in a single slap. It would be better than facing humiliation here!
Luo Yin was just about to attack them, until a hand stretched out and gently stopped her.
He was momentarily stunned, and turned towards the calm face of the young girl.
"Let it go, let them talk. After all, it looks like I won't lose anything." Gu Ruoyun shook her head, with a disapproving tone in her voice.
For example, does an elephant care about ant chatter?
Gu Ruoyun before, was that elephant.
"Announce the arrival of His Majesty, the Crown Prince and the Imperial Concubine!"
Just then, a loud and cunning voice sounded, attracting the attention of the crowd. In the midst of the crowd,
a yellow-clothed figure walked into the room, slowly starting to look ..
When the eyes of the crowd were fixed on the yellow-clothed young lady next to him, they finally understood the meaning of the phrase "beautiful image" and "beauty that can lead to the collapse of the city". But even though his face was dazzling, his face was unusually white. No blush can hide his sickly pallor.
But since he appeared with the Crown Prince, everyone knew exactly who he was.
Especially since Imperial Concubine Ling was walking behind the two of them! This made the crowd feel more suspicious ..
"Greetings, Your Highness, Mistress Imperial Concubine."
As soon as the crowd regained consciousness, they knelt on the ground in a uniformed manner, and greeted them respectfully.
Thus, Gu Ruoyun, who remained standing in the middle of the crowd, stuck out like a sore thumb...
"Gu Ruoyun, when greeting the Crown Prince and the Imperial Concubine, you will immediately kneel down!" General Gu frowned, punishing him furiously.
"My apology." Gu Ruoyun shrugged her shoulders. "My leg got hemorrhoids so it's kind of hard for me to get down on my knees. Next time, I will definitely redeem His Majesty and the Imperial Concubine."
Hemorrhoids?
General Gu had almost lost control, desperately hoping he could get up and punch the girl violently. "Washier develops in the knee?" He grumbled internally, "For sixty years of my life, this was the first time I heard anyone develop hemorrhoids on their knees, I definitely gained a new experience."
"Hehe." Concubine Ling raised her lips into a smile, staring intently at Gu Ruoyun. "This must be Gu Ruoyun, from the Gu Family? Your reputation precedes you. The rumors don't match the truth. I've even heard that you've challenged my nephew to a duel, is that true?"
This duel was actually not a secret in the Azure Dragon Country, but hearing this directly from the mouth of Imperial Concubine Ling certainly gave it a different taste.
"That's right." Gu Ruoyun raised her head towards Consort Ling Empire, "I will defeat Ling Xi!"
