Chapter 423 White Clothes
The slight uneasiness in the two people's hearts did not affect the atmosphere in Chaohe Hall.
There were fine wines and delicious food in the hall, and everyone was toasting each other. Soon, a group of dancers came into the hall one after another. The dancers danced lightly, wearing goose yellow and aqua red palace costumes, and their movements were as graceful as flying.
Shu Ying, the envoy of the grassland tribe, squinted his eyes and looked at the beauty in the palace. A subordinate whispered in his ear, and Shu Ying nodded.
A moment later, the music in the venue suddenly changed, and the row of dancers came out one after another. A stunningly beautiful exotic woman came gracefully to the music. Lan Qingwu's eyes were immediately attracted to her. She looked at the beautiful woman's wonderful dance moves and the dress on her body, and couldn't help but admire her inwardly, and admired her with relish. However, thinking of Emperor Shenwu, Lan Qingwu turned her head slightly to look at him, and saw that Emperor Shenwu's face was not very good.
The exotic beauty in the center of the hall was wearing layers of white gauze skirt, which was dreamy and beautiful, very much like the white wedding dress Lan Qingwu had seen in his previous life. The exotic beauty had exquisite braids on both sides of her temples, deep eye sockets, a high nose bridge, snow-white skin, and a tall figure. She had the unique charm and beauty of the exotic grassland.
Lan Qingwu was concentrating on appreciating the beauty's dance. In fact, he was mainly looking at the white gauze skirt. Such exquisite white gauze was too rare in this dynasty. Even if it was available, few people would use it to make dresses to wear, because the Da Sheng Dynasty respected the black color, and the emperor and empress's crowns and robes were mainly black, and also because - it was unlucky!
However, Lan Qingwu likes this kind of clothes very much. After all, in that time and space, which woman didn’t have a dream of wearing a beautiful wedding dress!
When the exotic beauty finished her dance, she bowed down and said, "Aluhanbe Gubeiying pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Dasheng and His Majesty the Empress! May His Majesty the Emperor of Dasheng live long and long! May the Empress live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!"
At this moment, Shuying, the envoy from the grassland tribe, stood up. He bowed and spoke in an awkward Dasheng dialect, "Your Majesty, this is Princess Gu Beiying, the pearl of the Aluhan tribe. She sparkles like a pearl in the ocean! What did you think of her dance?"
Emperor Shenwu said calmly and slowly, "Is she going to a funeral dressed like this?"
Lan Qingwu almost spit out the tea in his mouth as he heard the Emperor Shenwu say, "Dress in mourning clothes and dance for me!"
A hint of doubt flashed in Shuying's eyes. He had no idea why Emperor Shenwu was about to get angry at this moment. He looked at the Dasheng ministers whispering to each other and the gloating eyes of the Xisha delegation opposite, and finally felt that something was wrong. But Shuying had no idea what was wrong.
It wasn't until a subordinate who was familiar with the customs and practices of Dasheng quietly came to Shuying's side and whispered his own views and the meaning of Emperor Shenwu's words that Shuying couldn't help but change his expression. "Why didn't you say so earlier! We are going to offend His Majesty the Emperor of Dasheng completely!"
The beautiful girl Gu Beiying's face turned pale. She gently raised her head and looked at the high and mighty Emperor Shenwu. She was shocked at the first sight. Emperor Shenwu sat condescendingly. Although he was far away, his noble and indifferent temperament, his eyes that looked down on the world, and his complicated dark imperial crown and robes were deeply imprinted in Gu Beiying's mind. When the person beside her spoke, Gu Beiying came back to her senses and she quickly lowered her eyes.
