Chapter 474 - 474: Fierce Su Yingxue
She specifically addressed the empress, “Your Majesty, Emperor, the performance of my sword dance may not be very captivating. However, if Your Majesty and the Silver Moon Pavilion Master don’t mind, I’m willing to perform.”
“Excellent! I want to see what talents Miss Su possesses beyond her medical skills.” Han Yuwen eagerly chimed in.
While she was overstepping her bounds, Chu Mingyuan remained silent when he noticed Wu Dao didn’t object, indicating his tacit approval of Han Yuwen’s actions.
Chu Mingyuan had some matters to discuss with Wu Dao, so he chose to endure this situation.
Su Yingxue stood on the stage, and upon catching Chu Yihan’s glance, she playfully winked at him before retrieving the red jade shop whip from her waist.
Having been taught by Chu Yihan a few times, Su Yingxue had become much more proficient in the whip technique. As the performance began, she directly targeted Han Yuwen’s seat with her whip.
Han Yuwen did not expect Su Yingxue to hit her in public, so she naturally did not dodge.
Su Yingxue’s whip struck her desk, and the dishes and cups in front of her shattered on the floor. The fragments flew in all directions, narrowly avoiding scratching her face. “Ah!”
She exclaimed, and Feng Qing and Yun Dan quickly shielded her.
However, it was to no avail. Su Yingxue’s whip became more ferocious, and her entire seating area was affected. She had no means of escape.
Due to her pride, her seat was positioned close to the grandstand and was solitary. So, SU Yingxue wouldn’t harm others, yet it left Han Yuwen with no escape.
Behind her sat Qin Muyan, who was thoroughly enjoying the spectacle.
Qin Muyan’s eyes gleamed, and his drinking motions became more boisterous. “Su Yingxue truly has a temper!”
Han Yuwen’s provocation was tantamount to courting death.
Hearing Han Yuwen’s screams, Wei Jue sighed beside Qin Muyan. “Her temper is too much. I’m afraid there aren’t many men in the Great Wei Dynasty who can endure it, right?”
While the people of the Great Wei Dynasty were known for their boldness, where women could practice martial arts and archery just like men, and societal norms were less restrictive, Su Yingxue’s act of going on stage to strike someone without a word, and doing it in front of everyone, was excessively audacious.
“Su Yingxue, you court death! How dare you humiliate me like this! I… Ah!”
Before Han Yuwen could finish her threatening words, Su Yingxue had already swung her long whip, sweeping away her table and pulling it down to the ground with a crash.
“Princess!” Yun Dan shielded Han Yuwen with her body, preventing her from getting hurt.
On the other hand, Feng Qing was ready to charge onto the stage and confront Su Yingxue. “Su Yingxue, you’ve gone too far. How dare you openly assault the princess!”
“What assault? This is a performance!”
After finishing her whip dance, Su Yingxue coiled the red jade soft whip around her hand, her eyes innocent. “The princess wanted to see my performance. Why? Must I dance with a sword just like you? Is my whip not good enough?” “Excellent!” Chu Yihan applauded.
As soon as he praised her, the crowd joined in, applauding and commending Su Yingxue for her captivating whip dance.
Su Yingxue tilted her head. “See, everyone agrees.”
Su Yingxue even shouted to Wu Dao, “Silver Moon Pavilion Master, do you think my whip dance is good?”
No one could see Wu Dao’s face, but they could distinctly hear his deep and raspy voice. “Good.”
“Teacher!” Feng Qing was indignant. It was one thing if the people of the Great Cheng Dynasty were biased, but why was even their teacher leaning toward Su Yingxue?
“Teacher, she’s intentionally bullying me!” Han Yuwen gritted her teeth, looking at Wu Dao, hoping he would intervene..
