Chapter 27.2 -  Entering the palace to give birthday greetings

Lou Qufeng looked at the cloud pearl and was unable to help but think of the red pearl that Lou Qingwu had.

If he had offered up that red pearl, then he would become the person who would get all this attention.

It was only a pity that …

The more he thought about, the more he became disgruntled.

If she was already planning to gift it to him, there was no reason to hide it so carefully, which only made him still feel resentful even now.

Even if Lou Qingwu didn’t raise her head, she could still feel Lou Qufeng’s eyes on her.

She steadily sipped on the clear tea in front of her, her eyes taking in nothing as if she was above everyone on this mortal plane.

Lou Qufeng became even angrier but couldn’t do anything.

He couldn’t thicken his face and ask for the red pearl, he couldn’t bear to lose that face!

He humphed and humphed again before turning his eyes away towards Lou Lianxin.

Thinking about how Lou Lianxin will shine and show off her talents in just a few more moments, he inspected her face again.

Even though there was a bit of red swelling, he couldn’t see the shape of a hand any more except from a close distance.

Once he thought about how that slap was because of trouble that his eldest daughter provoked, he began to feel even more upset.

But right now, he was in the palace and couldn’t raise his fists.

Once he gets back to the residence, then watch how he’ll use the family’s law to punish her!

Is it because she went to the countryside for a few years, that she forgot who her parents were?

A wild brat is still a wild brat!

She definitely wasn’t someone who could be shown in public!

Seeing that the gifts had nearly all been presented, Lou Qufeng glanced at Lou Lianxin who then slowly left her seat.

Lou Qingwu ignored their little actions but when she raised her cup to her lips, her lips curved in a mocking smile.

Their aim tonight would definitely become futile.

Everyone’s gifts had nearly been presented and the emperor was extremely happy, having imperially bestowed many objects.

Just as he was about to wave his hands and tell them to prepare the dancers and singers to liven things up, he heard a stringed instrument sing by his ear.

The clear guqin sound twisted around the hall and everyone couldn’t help but turn towards the source of the sound.

From afar, they saw a girl wearing a light flowy fairy gown, the water lily coloured muslin draping off her body as the flowy sleeves drifted in the air, floating elegantly in the air.

Her hair was rolled in a high bun with only a few strands falling on her pale white neck, contrasting the fairness of her jade-like white skin, making her look as if she was a fairy floating here.

The girl’s face was covered with a light veil, only revealing her delicate eyes that were watery, charming and bewitching.

Just as everyone looked upon her strangely, the girl’s long leg kicked, both of her hands twisting above her head, her fine ten fingers bending to make a flower.

Her light body turned to dance alluringly.

Her dancing was light and wonderful as if she was a fairy.

Her clothes floated and swayed with her movements and followed the qin sounds which stole everyone’s breath away.

They were all unable to help but ask among themselves, who was this person?

Just as everyone was extremely curious, Lou Qufeng sneakily peeked at the appreciative emperor who was stroking his chin, satisified.

Lou Qingwu had also unknowingly looked towards the girl but when she saw the next action the girl did, her lips turned up in a cruel smile.

The girl’s two hands interlocked, beginning to finish her dance as the draping material around her high waist began to fly with her movements.

Her thin veil also flew off, revealing a delicate and fine face which was beautiful and gaze-stealing.

This was the Lou Lianxin who had only just left her seat.

At the same time her veil came off, four dancers who dressed alike, also flew in to raise Lou Lianxin up.

Lou Lianxin was on her tip toes on the palms of the four girls, and at the same, she threw out a painting scroll from her sleeves which flew out like a waterfall, rippling out.
