Princess Nanyi said, "I only fell into the water, it's not like I can't dance anymore."
Empress Song was surprised by Princess Nanyi's words, and her smile instantly froze on her face. Shen Wan, on the other hand, felt a surge of satisfaction in her heart. She had been putting on airs and had finally met her match.
Empress Song hurriedly said, "Princess Nanyi has just recovered from her illness and then fell into the water. There's no need to rush the competition. The palace will hold a farewell banquet for you later, and the competition can wait until then."
Princess Nanyi was very stubborn. Once she made up her mind to do something, no one could stop her. "Princess Ling was unharmed when she fell into the water while pregnant. If I, the princess, fell into the water and couldn't even dance anymore, wouldn't people laugh at me?"
Don't ask how Princess Nanyi knew that Shen Wan was safe even if she fell into the water while pregnant. On her way here, she overheard two palace maids whispering about it, which immediately aroused Princess Nanyi's competitive spirit.
Yes, these two palace maids were arranged by Shen Wan through Yin Shuang with the help of Eunuch Xiao Xizi.
Consort Zheng smiled and said, "Since Princess Nanyi thinks there is no problem, and Princess Shouchun has already made preparations, why should the Empress stop us?"
Empress Song looked at Consort Zheng with ill intent. Consort Zheng remained silent, and no one assumed she was mute!
Empress Song gritted her teeth and said, "I just feel that Princess Nanyi is unwell, so it would be unfair for Shouchun to win."
win?
Living in the same palace, who can fool whom?
What did Princess Shouchun have to win against Princess Nanyi?
Is it all about bragging?
Consort Zheng had not forgotten how Empress Song had used her to plot against Princess Ling. She had been looking for an opportunity to vent her anger, and now that she had finally found one, she was not about to let it slip by.
Consort Zheng said, "The Empress thinks too highly of Princess Nanyi. Even when Princess Ling was pregnant, she fell into the water and was fine, let alone Princess Nanyi?"
Princess Nanyi insisted on having a dance competition today, and Consort Zheng chimed in, leaving Empress Song with no excuse to refuse.
The Emperor said, "Let's have the competition today."
Princess Shouchun sat there, and when she saw that the Emperor had agreed, she became as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
Unfortunately, the die was cast, and Empress Song was powerless to help her.
Princess Nanyi looked at Princess Shouchun and said, "I just performed a dance at the Emperor's birthday banquet. You should dance first today."
Princess Nanyi was very generous and open-minded, and Princess Shouchun had no way to refuse her.
Princess Shouchun changed into her dance costume and performed a dance in front of everyone.
Princess Nanyi sat below and watched.
Because Empress Song praised Shen Wan for her excellent dancing, Shen Wan said that Princess Nanyi danced better than her. Princess Nanyi then thought that Princess Shouchun was truly a superior dancer.
Is that all?
How dare you compare yourself to her when you can't even jump like that?
Princess Nanyi looked very unwell.
I felt insulted.
Empress Song sat there watching, her eyes filled with hatred as she looked at Shen Wan, wishing she could tear her apart and rip her bones apart.
Shen Wan was in an exceptionally good mood.
Empress Song wanted to scheme against them by sending Princess Nanyi to Prince Ling's residence to annoy her and prevent Jingyan from being made crown prince. However, she did not expect that even after falling into the water, Princess Nanyi would still insist on dancing with Princess Shouchun.
Both being princesses, losing a dance competition is already a huge loss of face.
Now that Princess Nanyi has fallen ill and fallen into the water, even Princess Shouchun is no match for her, which is even more shameful.
The kind of humiliation that's so great you can't even pick yourself up from the ground.
