food queen

Chapter 281
At the second quarter of the hour, Han Qian, who was dressed in the dress of the princess, was so gorgeous that people dare not look directly at him. Qianye only took one look, and hurriedly bowed and knelt down: "Your Majesty has ordered you to escort the princess to the west gate. Please ask the princess to get on the phoenix chariot."

Han Qian glanced at the phoenix chariot made by the queen, and asked amusedly, "Have you made a mistake? I dare to sit in this car? Tomorrow's impeachment papers will flood the Zichen Palace like flakes of snow."

Qianye knelt on the ground, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty's imperial edict, I dare not disobey it. Please get on the chariot, Princess."

Han Qian thought for a while, and felt that he had to choose the former between disobeying the sacred order and provoking the officials, so he nodded and said, "Forget it. If there is a way, the sacred order cannot be violated."

"Please get on the chariot, Princess!" Qianye said loudly after getting up and stepping aside.

Han Qian lightly moved the lotus to the front of the phoenix chariot, raised her hand to support Pingguo'er's hand, lifted her skirt and slowly boarded the phoenix chariot.

Qianye waited for Han Qian to sit firmly in the phoenix chariot before ordering loudly to drive, and a group of people escorted the gorgeous phoenix chariot out of the alley in front of the Princess Mansion, crossing Qingque Street to the west city door to go.

Along the way, wherever the phoenix chariot went, there were people chasing and watching.Since Emperor Qingping succeeded to the throne, the harem has been left empty. Although the princess of the Han family has been decreed by the emperor to be a queen, she has not yet entered the palace. She is a daughter-in-law who has not entered the door. Why did the queen sit on the phoenix first? !

Han Qian was sitting in the phoenix chariot, and through the veil she could clearly see the people chasing and making noise outside. While complaining about Yun Shuo in her heart, at the same time, she wanted to turn back the memorials of those ministers like flakes. Fly to Zichen Palace and see how he responds!

The phoenix chariot was escorted back and forth by Qianye with the dragon guards, and the journey was naturally unimpeded.After reaching the west city gate, the phoenix chariot stopped, Han Qian got out of the car slowly, and climbed to the top of the city surrounded by a group of people.

Outside the west city gate, beside the moat, colorful flags are fluttering and people are buzzing.

The twelve gorgeous dragon boats were divided into two teams and parked under the suspension bridge of the moat. Each team had six boats. The first one was Wei Linghao and Han Jianyuan each leading their lieutenants. Behind Wei Linghao were Tang Yuanzhen and Shao Juncong. Waiting for the direct line generals of the Ninghou Mansion, and behind Han Jianyuan are Han Jianshi and other direct line generals of the Han family.

Just waiting for the horn of the competition to blow, these warriors who sweated and sweated on the battlefield in Western Xinjiang will sweat again on the moat, to His Majesty the Emperor, to the princes and nobles, to the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, and to the men, women and children of the imperial capital Show off their toughness.

As an elder and the commander of the Western Expedition this time, Marquis Ning naturally does not participate in the affairs of the younger generation. At this moment, he has climbed the tower and stood beside the emperor, watching with a smile.

Han Qian climbed up the tower and went to the emperor, and bowed down to the emperor according to the national etiquette.

His Majesty the Emperor hastily stepped forward and grabbed her: "As the old saying goes, husband and wife are of the same body. Although Qing and Zhen are not married yet, Qing is already my queen-to-be. No need to be too polite, just stand by my side."

The corners of Han Qian's lips twitched when he heard the emperor's seemingly high-sounding but actually quite unreasonable words, but it was indeed the most important thing not to kneel down. The jingle of this dress was troublesome, and it was easy to kneel down. When I got up, I accidentally stepped on something and fell on the big horse.So she thanked the emperor happily, and went to stand beside the emperor.

Once everyone is here, the business can begin.The Minister of the Ministry of Rites was thinking about his mistakes behind closed doors at home, and the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites knelt down and begged for an order: "Your Majesty, the auspicious time has come! The dragon boat race can begin."

The emperor nodded and said, "Okay, let's start."

The ceremonial officer at the side waved the colorful flag in his hand, and a heavy and long horn sounded on the city wall.

With the sound of the horn, two figures, one blue and one purple, flashed on the suspension bridge of the moat. Wei Linghao and Han Jianyuan both jumped onto the dragon boat, and the lieutenants followed one after another, and no one was willing to lag behind.

The gorgeous dragon boat rushed out almost at the same time, rushing forward quickly.

Han Qian was condescending, watching the people on the edge of the moat waving the colorful flags in their hands like crazy, chasing the dragon boat like a tide, and couldn't help feeling: "It's so spectacular!"

"Yes." Yun Shuo nodded in satisfaction.

"However, will those common people be pushed down, trampled on each other, or even..." Han Qian looked at Yun Shuo worriedly.

"Don't worry, it's okay." Yun Shuo smiled lightly. At this time, the people standing on the edge of the moat and shouting and cheering must not be all the people. There are soldiers and guards mixed in, so as to prevent the people from crowding and bumping into danger. Second, It is also for the safety of the city tower.

With the sound of fierce and high-spirited drums, the dragon boat rushed faster and faster.

Yun Shuo nodded with a satisfied chuckle, turned around and walked to the six-foot drum, picked up the drumstick wrapped in bright yellow silk, and began to beat the drum lightly.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom..."

The sound of the drums was not loud at the beginning, but after more than a dozen beats, it became effective. The vigorous drums overwhelmed all the musical instruments, and became the driving force for the brave warriors on the dragon boat to fight hard.

Han Qian walked up to the parapet with her skirt in her hand and looked down, but saw the dragon boats rushing towards the distance like arrows off the string, turning around at the colorful flags at the appointed place and slipping back.

Because of the distance, Han Qian couldn't see the faces of the eldest brother and the second brother on the dragon boat clearly, but she didn't need to see clearly, she knew that the team wearing purple clothes belonged to the Han family, while the team wearing blue clothes was from Ning's family. The direct lineage of the Hou family.

The two teams were evenly matched, chasing after each other, rushing back quickly with the high-pitched drumbeat.The people on the river bank cheered like crazy and waved the colorful flags in their hands.And loudly shouted the names and titles of the brothers from the Han family or the Wei family, or some people couldn't shout anything at all, they just yelled 'ahhhh', with nowhere to vent their passion.

"I don't know who will win?" Han Qian nervously clutched the handkerchief in his hand.

"Everyone will win." Ning Hou who was standing next to her smiled.

Han Qian looked back at Ninghou, and asked suspiciously: "Both will win? How is it possible? Compared with the two teams, there will always be winners and losers."

Ning Hou smiled and said nothing, but pointed to the river.

Han Qian hurriedly looked back, but saw that the dragon boats of Wei Linghao and Han Jianyuan were advancing side by side amidst the loud drumbeat, and then the dragon heads of the two dragon boats hit the red silk stretched across the river at the same time, and the two of them jumped from the bow at the same time. They jumped up, tapped the dragon's head with their toes, and then flew onto the suspension bridge.

"Ah-"

"Ow—"

There was cheering on the river bank.

Han Qian understood in an instant—although this was a dragon boat race, what he wanted to show people was the scene of Dayun courting the monarch and his ministers in harmony. On the dragon boat, ministers of civil and military affairs and common people watched on both sides, and finally demonstrated the prosperity of the world with a win-win result.
