I traveled through time and became the Queen of Ancient Dian

The hustle and bustle of the market is like the rising tide, coming in waves.

Baona stood in the center of the crowd, as steady as a pillar.

On the wooden table in front of her were neatly arranged the textile samples she had carefully crafted - silk as thin as a cicada's wing, cotton as flexible as a willow branch, and linen fabrics with bright colors and attractive luster.

All of these samples exude a brilliance that is completely different from traditional textiles.

She had a confident smile on her face, her eyes swept over the curious faces around her, and an indescribable anticipation surged in her heart.

The sunlight shines through the leaves, casting mottled shadows on these samples, making them even more exquisite.

People were whispering and pointing, and the air was filled with a tense and expectant atmosphere, as if they were waiting for a grand performance.

Baona took a deep breath, gently picked up a piece of cotton cloth, and felt the soft touch from her fingertips, as if she was holding a warm cloud.

At this moment, an angry figure broke into the crowd, breaking the silence.

The Jiagu weaving master's weather-beaten face was filled with anger and disdain at this moment.

He held a rough wooden stick and hit the ground hard, making a dull "dong dong" sound, which attracted everyone's attention.

His hoarse and high-pitched voice pierced through the hustle and bustle of the market like a sharp knife.

"What are you all looking at? These fancy things are completely useless!"

He pointed at Baona's sample, and some hesitant expressions began to appear in the crowd. Those who had originally been looking forward to the new textile technology also became a little confused.

The air seemed to freeze, and a tense atmosphere enveloped the entire market.

The Jiagu weaving master looked at Baona proudly, with a sneer on his lips. He turned to the people behind him and said loudly: "Have you forgotten how strong and durable the cloth we weave using traditional methods is? Do you want to use these things that look beautiful but will break at the slightest touch?" His words were like seeds that took root in people's hearts and shook their beliefs.

Just as everyone was hesitant, a clear and cool voice, like a mountain spring, penetrated the clamor of the crowd and reached everyone's ears: "Really? I think some things need to be re-examined..."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw the Queen of Ancient Dian slowly approaching. She was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with graceful manners, and her every move exuded an awe-inspiring aura.

The smug smile on Jiagu Weaving Master's face froze. He hurriedly bowed his head and saluted, not daring to look the Queen in the eye.

The Queen of Ancient Dian walked up to Baona, picked up a piece of silk, stroked it carefully, and showed admiration in her eyes.

"This silk is light, smooth, and has a dazzling luster, far superior to anything before." She turned to look at the crowd, her voice clear and powerful, "New technology isn't all flashy; it represents progress and the future."

The Queen's approval was like a ray of golden light, dispelling the doubts in people's hearts.

They rushed forward and carefully examined Baona's samples, with excitement shining in their eyes.

People who were originally skeptical about new technologies began to change their attitudes and became very interested in these novel textiles.

"This cotton cloth feels so comfortable to the touch, much softer than the linen we used before." A young woman stroked the cotton cloth with an expression of surprise on her face.

"This color is so beautiful. In the past, we could only use plant dyes, and the colors were very monotonous." An old woman pointed to the brightly colored linen fabrics.

Baona looked at people's eager eyes and her heart was filled with pride.

She looked at the Queen of Ancient Dian with gratitude, and the Queen gave her an encouraging smile. There was a silent understanding and trust between the two.

A cheerful atmosphere began to spread in the market, and people excitedly discussed new textile technology, as if they saw a better life in the future.

Baona and the Queen of Ancient Dian smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.

"Next..." Baona raised the corner of her mouth and cast her eyes on the two figures in the crowd, "It's your turn to go on stage."

Sima Niu and Wu Ma carried a modified loom, carefully walked through the crowd, and came to Bao Na.

This loom is much smaller than traditional looms and has a more sophisticated structure. The wooden frame is polished smooth and delicate, exuding a faint wood fragrance.

The sunlight shone on the loom, and the metal parts reflected a dazzling light, attracting everyone's attention, especially the young textile apprentices and female workers, who were staring intently.

Sima Niu took a deep breath and began the demonstration with a little nervousness.

His dexterous hands flew over the loom, and the hemp thread jumped on his fingertips like a dancing elf, making a soft "swish" sound.

Wu Ma was explaining the usage and techniques of the new loom. His voice was loud and clear, and he explained the complex textile technology in a simple and easy-to-understand way, which made everyone nod their heads frequently.

As the demonstration progressed, the advantages of the new loom gradually became apparent.

It is not only easy to operate, but also more efficient. The cloth it weaves is also finer and more uniform, which amazes the onlookers.

There was excitement in the eyes of the young textile apprentices. They were eager to try out this new loom.

"This loom is amazing!" a young apprentice said excitedly. "It used to take me half a day to weave a piece of cloth, but now with this new loom, I think I can finish it in half the time!"

"Yes, and the cloth is even more beautiful!" another female worker excitedly echoed, "The fine grain and smooth texture are so much better than before!"

The enthusiasm of the young people spread quickly like a prairie fire, and more and more people gathered around, wanting to learn new textile technology.

A positive atmosphere enveloped the entire market, as if spring had arrived and all things were reviving, full of vitality and vigor.

The Jiagu weaving master stood at the edge of the crowd, watching this scene, his face as gloomy as the dark clouds before a rainstorm.

He gripped the wooden stick tightly in his hand, his knuckles turning white from the force and making a crackling sound.

He knew that the situation was hopeless and he could no longer stop the promotion of new textile technology.

He sighed, shook his head helplessly, turned and left, his lonely figure disappearing in the crowd.

Baona looked at all this and her heart was filled with joy.

She knew that she was getting closer and closer to her goal, and the exciting climax atmosphere reached its peak.

However, at this moment, Boqian, a textile material merchant, walked slowly to Baona with a sneer.

"Congratulations, Miss Baona," he said sarcastically, "Your new textile technology looks like it will be a great success."

Baona frowned slightly, feeling a little uneasy.

"Boss Boqian, what do you mean by this?"

The sneer on Bo Qian's face became even more intense. "It's nothing. I just want to remind you that there is no eternal success in this world..." He looked at Baona meaningfully and turned away.

Baona looked at Boqian's departing back and felt a little uneasy in her heart.

She turned to look at the Queen of Ancient Dian, only to see that the Queen was looking into the distance with deep eyes, as if she was thinking about something.

"Your Majesty..." Baona was about to speak, but was interrupted by the Queen.

"Baona," the Queen of Ancient Dian said in a low and solemn voice, "Do you think this is the end of it?"
