”Queen Mother, what's wrong?” The crown prince was the first to notice the empress's anger.

”You,” the Empress pointed at Qin Wu and said, ”turn your back.”

Although Qin Wu was a little doubtful, she still turned around according to the Empress's orders.

Qin Wu turned around, revealing the pattern behind her clothes, causing everyone to suck in a breath of cold air. When Qin Wu started to dance earlier, the two patterns on her back did not join together. Although everyone knew that it was a painting, they could not see it clearly. Just then, when Qin Wu turned around, the two patterns combined and happened to be seen by the Queen. It was a beautiful picture of a phoenix. The phoenix on it was countless times more beautiful than any phoenix pattern the Queen had ever seen. However, there was no appreciation in the empress's heart at this moment, only boundless fury.

The phoenix was the empress's representative. In this world, other than the empress, no one was allowed to use the design of the phoenix. However, at this very moment, there was someone brazenly revealing a phoenix image in front of her. Wasn't this clearly slapping her in the face?

”How dare you, kneel down!” The eunuch beside the empress was the first to speak.

Qin Wu was shocked, and immediately knelt down in fear.

”empress, what's going on?” Feeling the strange atmosphere around him, although Qin Wu was suspicious, she didn't dare to get up rashly. She also didn't dare to look behind herself, so she could only ask carefully, ”What has my little girl done to make the empress angry?”

”What's with the pattern on your back?” the queen asked, frowning.

At first, there was a very beautiful pattern on Qin Wu's back that her mother had specially embroidered on. The pattern was extremely imposing and the Queen would definitely look at her in a new light, perhaps even like her a lot. But what was going on now, why was it that the Queen's reaction was so different from what she expected?

Qin Wu hesitated for a moment, but still answered: ”This is a trick specially prepared by my mother.”

”Oh?” The empress raised an eyebrow and asked the maid beside her, ”Which family's daughter is this?”

”Reporting to the empress, this is the second young miss of the General's Estate, Qin Wu.” The maid next to him answered.

”Qin Wu?” The Queen thought for a while, but didn't seem to have any impression of him. ”I only remember that there's a Miss Qin Feng in the General's Estate.

Qin Wu's body trembled, her eyes filled with hatred. How great was her position in the General's Residence? But the empress only remembered Qin Feng, that little bitch, in front of the empress!

”Empress, Imperial Consort Li's sister is now the wife of the General's Mansion.” The maid beside her whispered into the ear of the empress.
