The faces of the people from Northern Frontier became more and more ugly, and some of them were even fidgeting, unable to bear being humiliated by Tianxuan.

Gu Qing also found it quite interesting and watched it with great interest.

"The next one is the concubine's daughter of the Secretary of the Central Secretariat, Gu Miao." The eunuch read out the name list, and Gu Miao slowly stood up.

When she heard the word "bastard daughter", she subconsciously clenched her fists.

Today, she would let everyone know that the legitimate daughter of the Gu family was no match for the concubine's daughter, and that she, Gu Miao, was the most talented woman in the capital!

Like everyone else, Gu Qing watched Gu Miao slowly walk into the hall.

But compared to other people's expectations, she was waiting for Gu Miao to make a fool of himself and for the emperor to be angry.

"Musician, thank you for your help." Gu Miao saluted the musician with elegant manners, looking more like a legitimate daughter than the concubines' daughters in other families.

Mu Xin snorted coldly: "I think this concubine of yours is not an easy person to deal with."

Although Mu Xin has not been in the capital in recent years, the calculations of the Marquis' Mansion are more numerous and scheming than those of other mansions. She is not an ignorant and naive princess.

Gu Qing couldn't deny it, but just smiled faintly: "Those who scheme will be schemed against themselves."

Mu Xin smiled and didn't take Gu Qing's words to heart, but she could vaguely feel something.

Over there, the musicians received the music that Gu Miao wanted. All of them looked horrified and hesitated for a moment.

Gu Qing was a little anxious. After a while, the musicians discussed it and seemed to decide to play.

Accompanied by the tune of Nichang, Gu Miao's feet were light and her waist was graceful. The men were immersed in it, but the people in the palace were nervous and looked at the emperor's expression cautiously.

Gu Qing supported his chin with a smile on his lips. Chen Zhizhou, who was sitting in the male seat, saw the fox-like smile on Gu Qing's face and immediately understood the meaning.

The Third Prince's face turned pale as he said in a deep voice, "How dare the Gu family be so bold? Does this matter involve your wife?"

Chen Zhizhou pretended to be confused: "Your Highness, what do you mean by this?"

"The Rainbow Skirt and Feathered Robe Dance was created by the late Empress. Although it has been widely passed down, there may be only a few dancers in the world. Gu Miao's dance has touched Your Majesty's reverse scale."

As expected, Chen Zhizhou followed Li Xiangji's gaze towards the hall. The emperor on the throne had a sullen expression and complicated eyes.

It seems that he wants to see the image of his late wife in Gu Miao, but Gu Miao has only learned the basics and cannot grasp the essence, and he feels more and more like an ugly imitator.

His Majesty missed his deceased wife, and now he was furious when he saw Gu Miao like this.

"How dare you!" The emperor's anger was like a raging fire.

The music stopped abruptly, and everyone knelt on the ground, not daring to look up. Gu Miao was dazed, her movements stiff in place, and she also knelt down: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please forgive me. I don't know how I have offended Your Majesty."

Gu Miao was puzzled and cautiously turned his head to Gu Yunzhao for help.

Gu Yunzhao was also unaware of the situation. He wanted to plead for Gu Miao but was afraid that if he did so, the emperor's wrath would fall upon him.

Mu Xin laughed and said, "Qing'er, did you do this on purpose?"

Gu Qing pretended not to know: "How could I do that on purpose? I don't even know why His Majesty is angry."

"This Colorful Feather Dance is His Majesty's Achilles' heel. If Gu Miao dances well, he will leap over the dragon gate and enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future. If he dances poorly, he will lose his head."

"Really?!" Gu Qing was speechless: "There are countless people in the world who dance in colorful clothes and feathered robes."

"You don't know this. The Colorful Skirt and Feathered Robe Dance was originally created by the late Queen. Those who perform it among the people are merely imitating it."

"The world doesn't know where it came from, but the people in this palace don't even dare to mention it."

Mu Xin said this with some worry: "Will this matter involve you?"

Gu Qing shook her head: "I'm already married, and the crime that Gu Miao committed has nothing to do with me."

"That's good." Mu Xin finally felt relieved. "I said she was not an easy person to deal with, and it turned out to be true."

In the center of the hall, Gu Miao didn't know what crime he had committed and kept begging for mercy.

The Queen stood up and said, "Come here, bring Gu Miao to me."

Gu Yunzhao was horrified and knelt in the hall with his clothes in hand: "I am guilty of not teaching my daughter well. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!"

His Majesty was furious at the moment, his face sullen and silent. The Queen then spoke up, "This dance was created by the late Queen. Gu Miao imitated the late Queen and performed the Colorful Skirt and Feathered Robe Dance. His dancing skills are not good, and it is a blasphemy to the late Queen."

"It has only aroused His Majesty's worries! He deserves punishment!"

Gu Miao sat on the ground at the dinner party, tears streaming down her face: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty didn't mean it! Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Gu Yunzhao gritted his teeth and continued, "I really don't know about this matter. I hope Your Majesty will spare her life for the sake of her young age!" At this moment, no one pleaded.

The Queen looked at the Emperor. After a long pause, the Emperor waved his sleeves and shouted, "Today is a great day. I do not wish to bleed on the Peony Terrace. I can escape death, but I cannot escape punishment for my crimes. I really do not want to see you again. Get out!"

After hearing this, Gu Miao breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was dead.

She had worked so hard to prepare this dance! She finally got the chance to embarrass Gu Qing!

Now all of this has come to nothing!

In an instant, she seemed to understand that this was a trap. She gritted her teeth, climbed up, saluted the emperor and the empress, and glared at Gu Qing as she turned and left the hall.

But she had a hint of sarcasm on the corner of her mouth, as if she had been waiting to see his show.

It’s you! Gu Miao roared in his heart, wishing he could kill this bitch on the spot.

Gu Yunzhao led his men away. As soon as Gu Miao left, he lost his mind when he saw that no one was around. "Bitch! Bitch! It's all because of that bitch Gu Qing!"

"She framed me! I'm going to kill her! Kill her!"

Gu Miao screamed at the top of her lungs, "Pa!" A slap landed on her face. She calmed down and sobered up a bit. She looked at Gu Yunzhao with red eyes, "Daddy? You hit me?"

"This is clearly Gu Qing framing his daughter."

Gu Yunzhao suppressed his anger and said, "You're crazy! Do you know where this is? Go home right now! You are not allowed to leave Dujuan Pavilion without my permission!"

"Daddy!" Gu Miao never thought that he would fall to such a state today. "Daddy, do you really not love Miao Miao anymore?" Like Liu, Gu Miao always showed weakness at the right time. Gu Yunzhao also softened his heart a little: "You go back first. If you can save your life today, you will make a comeback."

Gu Miao was unwilling in her heart. Everything in the palace had nothing to do with her anymore. She couldn't bear this!

Gu Qing, I will definitely kill you!"

The carriage sped out of the palace, not daring to stay a step longer.

The emperor's anger subsided a little after Gu Miao left, but his interest also diminished a lot.

Gu Qing was not very satisfied with the outcome of Gu Miao's case today, but from today on, no matchmaker in the capital would dare to come to the Chen Mansion to make a proposal.

Gu Miao was scolded by the emperor in public. Who dares to disobey the emperor?

Thinking of this, Gu Qing's emotions reached its peak. In her rebirth, she had never been so happy as she was today.

Seeing this, Mu Xin became more curious. Gu Qingzhen didn't seem to be completely unaware of this matter.

But the words of the eunuch suddenly interrupted her thoughts: "Next, the wife of the third young master of the Chen family, Gu Qing!"
