Chapter 208.2 - Asking for humiliation
When the amba.s.sador saw her walk down, he walked up to the centre, his lips in a half smile.
This time, Xiliang country finally beat Dongyu country.
Just as the amba.s.sador was about to explain what the third gift was, the originally silent Shu Yunyan suddenly opened his mouth.
His expression was still dull, but his words made everyone freeze.
Even his country’s amba.s.sador froze, what was happening?
Shu Yunyan only said, “I believe your n.o.ble country can’t be that bad at dancing. The Countess of Chaoxia’s dancing couldn’t even compare to our lowly dancer girls, but you sent her out of your n.o.ble girls, does that mean … your country is looking down on our country’s strength?”
Every word was humiliating, extremely poisonous.
On the surface, he said it as if Dongyu country was hiding their strengths, which really meant he was stomping on the Countess of Chaoxia’s face.
To compare the countess of a country to a lowly dancer girl, really completely made the Countess of Chaoxia lose face.
The Countess of Chaoxia had only just sit down when she head this, and she was completely stupefied.
Then she burst into tears.
The emperor’s face was extremely twisted, because if she had just finished dancing, he could’ve said something.
But for her to pathetically have fallen just before she finished, he couldn’t even find a good reason.
His brows furrowed deeply as he watched the scene, suddenly standing up, “Imperial brother, it seems like Yiren isn’t feeling well. Subject-brother will take her home to rest.”
Seeing the emperor nod his head, imperial prince Zong furrowed his brows and dragged the Countess of Chaoxia away.
Everything grew calm before Shu Yunyan walked towards the centre of the hall again.
He lifted up his head, his complexion sickly, “I heard that your n.o.ble country is filled with girls who can dance, I don’t know if I can choose another?”
The emperor froze, not expecting that he’d ask this, “I don’t know who minister Shu would like to choose?”
Lou Qingwu lowered her eyes.
Towards this Shu Yunyan who could make the Countess of Chaoxia cry, she felt the happiness of revenge.
But … hearing his dark words, she suddenly had a bad feeling.
Indeed, in the next moment, everyone’s eyes suddenly turned towards her.
Lou Qingwu looked up and met Shu Yunyan’s dark eyes, and she watched as his chin pointed towards her direction.
She suddenly felt helpless.
She really just wanted to be an invisible little side character.
Was this man really forcing her to s.n.a.t.c.h the limelight every single time?
The emperor’s eyes fell on Lou Qingwu, he slightly paused, a bit hesitant.
He’d never heard of the Lou family’s eldest daughter being able to dance.
Furthermore, she’d been sent to the country for three years ago, so there’s no way she could be a better dancer than the Countess of Chaoxia.
But he couldn’t help but think of Lou Qingwu when she unlocked the black iron lock.
From the first moment he noticed her with the ‘no sons gra.s.s’ to now, she’d given him too many happy surprises.
He just didn’t know if this little girl could continue surprising him.
He narrowed his eyes and ignored the empress’ eyes at him, turning to face Lou Qingwu, “Qingwu, I don’t know if you can dance for Xiliang country’s amba.s.sadors?”
Lou Qingwu’s heart had a thousand racing alpacas.
Could she say that she actually couldn’t dance?
But quite obviously, if she said that she couldn’t at this point in time, it wouldn’t only be her losing face, the whole Dongyu country would lose face.
Even if the Countess of Chaoxia danced pathetically, at least she could dance.
But she … couldn’t.
She silently looked down before reluctantly nodding her head, “... emperor, could I find someone to dance with me?”
“Of course.” The emperor finished speaking and fearing that he answered too quickly, because it was the Xiliang minister’s suggestion, turned to face him and asked, “What does the prime minister think?”

TL note:
Thousand racing alpacas - this was random and probably alluding to a euphemism which means f*** me.
I went interstate for a work trip and I’m still super tired.
Leave a comment and because LQW can’t dance? xx
