invincible ugly queen

Chapter 28: The Festival of Lights (2)
Seeing that she continued to ignore him, Chu Shaoqiu continued: "You'd better behave better later, don't embarrass me."

"You're afraid that I'll lose face, so why did you bring me out?" Nangong Wanqing felt it was even more funny, she didn't want to come at all, if he hadn't promulgated some imperial decree to come by herself, if she hadn't been worried that she would be beheaded if she disobeyed the imperial decree I don't want to come.

"Do you hate me that much?" Knowing that she doesn't eat hard things, she simply changed her tactic.

Nangong Wanqing was taken aback by the sudden change of tone, her charming face was full of doubts and puzzles, she didn't know whether she should answer this question or not.

Seeing that she was silent, Chu Shaoqiu said in a domineering tone that cannot be doubted: "Since you have already entered the palace, then stay obediently, otherwise I will never let you go!"

Nangong Wanqing simply shut up and stopped talking, she felt that the emperor was too inexplicable and didn't know what he was doing.He was uneasy in his heart. He thought he had forgotten what happened by the lotus pond last time, but now, judging from his tone, he might have kept it in his heart and was looking for opportunities for revenge at any time.

Immediately there were constant bumps, the car was extremely quiet, and the atmosphere in the car was quite awkward. The two of them did not speak until they reached the bank of the Pearl River.

On the banks of the Pearl River, the people had already stopped eagerly, waiting for the Empress to appear. Many people waited here before it was dark, just to witness the peerless demeanor of the Emperor Chu with their own eyes.

After Nangong Wanqing followed Chu Shaoqiu off the imperial court, she was once again shocked by the scene in front of her. The glow was steaming between the clouds and the water, a lake of spring water was rippling, the river was full of people, countless lights were shining, Reflected on the surface of the river, the distant mountains are like Daisy, and the ingenious and natural beauty makes people feel more dreamlike.

"Wow, it's really beautiful—" Nangong Wanqing couldn't help admiring. She wanted to enjoy the beautiful scenery more, but she had to follow Chu Shaoqiu to the highest platform surrounded by the crowd to bow to the God of Five Grains.

The Southern Chu Dynasty was superstitious about the gods of grains. Today is not only a national day, but also a day to pray to the gods of grains to give them a good harvest and gifts.

During the sacrifice, the emperor and the people knelt down to pray to the god of grains, and at the same time sprinkled some food and delicacies on the Pearl River to show their sincerity.

After the sacrifice, Chu Shaoqiu led a group of concubines boarded the dragon boat and traveled around the entire Pearl River.

Tonight's activities were complicated and extravagant, which surprised Nangong Wanqing, especially when she saw the huge dragon boat. With such a level of luxury, Nangong Wanqing couldn't help but think of the Titanic, which was full of legends. And a sad but great love story.

The clouds are fragrant on the temples, the cups are staggered, and the dancers' sleeves are as light as fairies.

The dragon boat had already sailed to the center of the Pearl River, and the banquet was in full swing. Nangong Wanqing sat quietly beside Chu Shaoqiu without saying a word. She quietly looked at everything in front of her, as if everything It has nothing to do with me.During the dinner, she also saw her father, Nangong Lie, who was sitting in the front row of the officials. Although she was not very familiar with him, he was the father of her body after all, and he really cared about her. When Nangong Lie looked into his deep eyes, he could hug and smile, and he didn't take the rest to heart.

Suddenly, a burst of drum music pulled my thoughts back. This was different from the music just now, which was too dull, but the drum music now added a bit of freshness and liveliness.

Looking up, I saw a woman in red was slowly beating a small wooden drum hanging on her waist with her back to the crowd.The woman's black hair is pulled up, and the black satin hair is only tied with a white jade crescent hairpin, and the strings of star and moon tassels around her ears sway with her slight shaking.

Her drum sound is slow and gentle, like a slowly flowing spring, but suddenly it is like a pipa splitting silk, which surprises people. With the fluttering of the ribbon, her tune is either like a clear spring, or urgent. Like big pearls and small pearls falling on a jade plate, or like the tide on a river stretches endlessly.

When she suddenly turned around, everyone's hearts were still moving. The woman's eyes were like black grapes, she was pretty and lovely, and her fair face was printed with cinnabar begonias, which made people feel even more charming.

This person turned out to be Concubine Degui Shen Ruxue, Concubine Degui had always been good at dancing, but she did not expect to be able to dance so well, which made the people present even more exclaimed, and the dragon boat immediately burst into applause.
