At her question, many gazes instantly fell upon Li Zhujun. Because she had previously stated, when volunteering to perform, that both sisters would be participating, everyone had assumed it was a premeditated act. Yet now...
To even use a child, this Miss Li is quite scheming!
Others had such thoughts, and the Empress Dowager naturally did as well. Sigh! They were all children. Look at the Ji Family's, and then look at the Li Family's. There's no harm if there's no comparison!
As the Empress Dowager was thinking this, she saw Miss Li whisper something into Li Yanyan's ear.
Then she saw Li Yanyan's eyes brighten.
The little girl then cupped her hands in a traditional salute towards the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.
"Empress Dowager, my sister and I will perform 'The Arrival of the Phoenix' for you!"
'The Arrival of the Phoenix'? Everyone gasped. This was as blatant as Sima Zhao's ambition, plain for all to see...
The Empress Dowager, however, was quite pleased.
