Thousand Face Demonic Concubine Chapter 28.2

Chapter 28.2 - Number one talented girl

She only smiled faintly at Lou Lianxin whose face was about to bloom from beaming so much.

She was unable to help but sigh to herself: Ah, little sister, do you know, that those who stand the highest, will also fall the hardest.

“Emperor, you have to reward Lianxin this brat well, she really used a lot of time and effort into your gift.”

Imperial consort Rong - Ruan Yirong who was sitting to the side of the emperor, opened her mouth at an appropriate time.

She pressed her handkerchief on the corner of her mouth, making her face look even more gentle.

The emperor was even more pleased, “Good! Today, everyone will be bestowed a gift!”

What should he bestow?

If it was just a normal pearl head ornament, it really wouldn’t match up to this extravagant and expensive gift that he had received.

Imperial consort Rong watched as her mind thought of possibilities, then reminded, “Emperor, what about giving Lianxin a t.i.tle?”

“For example?”

“Something like number one under the heavens talented girl? Seeing at her embroidery and dancing skills, I believe Lianxin matches that t.i.tle.”

Imperial consort Rong was extremely confident in her suggestion because if Lou Lianxin got that t.i.tle, she’d become unspeakably n.o.ble which would only benefit her.

The emperor stroked his chin and thought, well it’s not like he couldn’t.

The more that he looked at the scroll, the more he liked it.

Then he’ll bestow her a t.i.tle once he took another look, he had never actually seen such a birthday gift

“Come, let this emperor see how that firefly powder makes it glow in the dark? Bring the scroll closer!”

“Yes!” Immediately, imperial guards flew in and brought the scroll down.

The spread it open left to right and presented it in front of the emperor.

But when the emperor pulled closer, his dragon face changed immediately!

Imperial consort Rong and the empress were the closest to the emperor so they immediately knew that there was something wrong with the emperor.

They were unable to help but also move closer to the scroll as they followed the emperor’s eyes.

Their eyes fell onto the soaring dragon and their expressions also changed for the worse.

Imperial consort was also full of regret as she turned to look at Lou Lianxin with eyes that berated her for failing her!

She wasted her time trying to raise this brat up, she really was dumb!

“Brazen!”

Even though the empress normally liked Lou Lianxin and thought she was charming, right now, this was about the emperor so she was naturally angry.

“Lou Lianxin, you really are brazen!”

Lou Lianxin was originally waiting for the emperor to finish looking at the scroll and bestow her t.i.tle of “Number one talented girl” but after all that waiting, all she received was this phrase.

She immediately uneasily kneeled down and was unable to help but ask, “Emp-empress, what-what happened?”

“You dare ask? Did you embroider this?”

Lou Lianxin’s face immediately changed, was she exposed?

No, no way!

If they knew that she had bought this, then that would be the crime of deceiving the emperor.

She could only brace herself and nod, “Yes-yes, this was subject-girl who embroidered this.”

“Come! Grab this treasonous traitor for this empress!” After the empress finished speaking, imperial guards immediately leapt up and pressed down on Lou Lianxin.

Lou Lianxin was so afraid her knees went weak, she lay on the ground shaking as she uneasily called out for Lou Qufeng for help, “Daddy …”

Lou Qufeng was also at a loss.

This clearly was going alright but then everything suddenly changed?

He was fl.u.s.tered as he walked out from his seat and kneeled next to Lou Lianxin.

Lou Qingwu also lowered her eyelids and followed, kneeling beside Lou Qufeng.

But she didn’t say anything, only calmly listening to Lou Qufeng who was increasingly worried.

“Emperor, empress, please don’t be angry. What crime did this little commit?”

“Look for yourself!” The emperor’s face was livid.

All four directions were deadly silent as it was everyone for themselves.

No one dared to say a word.

They only watched the emperor ruthlessly threw down the “Soaring dragon in the heavens” scroll in front of Lou Qufeng.

The scroll opened and revealed the dragon as everyone couldn’t help but sneak peeks at the scroll.

Those who examined more carefully after a few more peeks finally found a clue and couldn’t help but suck in a breath.
