The Pearl on the Emperor’s Crown - Chapter 116
Xie Ying knew where Zhu Yi had gone. She told him the day before yesterday that Sheng Qing’s wife Lin invited her and a group of officials’ family members to have a banquet in Hefang Building tonight.
But even if Zhu Yi didn’t say it, he would know. Just as he knew that she had practiced the sword for half an hour with Zhu Chuo this morning, and then went to the old princess Mu and the princess Lian to sit for a while, and then went to the Wangfu Medicine Hall to recognize medicinal materials.
He just didn’t expect this to be in the middle of the hour, and Zhu Yi hasn’t come back yet.
Tonight’s scented cars in front of the Hefang Building are tied together, and the entire second floor is covered. Fendai Luoqi, Jiaoshengxiaoyu, and almost all the wives of the young general of Weizhou are here.
As a princess and concubine, Zhu Yi is the focus of the female family upon arrival. Zhu Yi found that Mrs. Lin was very good at life, and she was happy to accept her love.
Many of the officials in Weizhou were Xie Ying’s confidantes, who followed him to conquer merits. If they can succeed in the future, they will naturally be heroes, and their regular wives will also be fate. The queen governs the Sixth Palace, and teaches the imperial wives. Her contact with these female relatives is good for her and Xie Ying.
For others, it is of course a good thing to be able to have a good relationship with the concubine.
There are also a small number of people who are worried about whether Zhu Yi’s concubine will eventually become a queen. In their opinion, although the elder son loves the princess now, but after a long time, the color is fading and the love is relaxed, after all, it is not as secure as having a strong foreign family. Some people even feel that Gu Nanci is not yet married, and maybe one day he will be accepted as a concubine by the prince.
However, after talking, everyone found that Princess Xizhen’s personality and posture were really good. She has a soft tone, but she doesn’t feel weak. She is bright and beautiful, but she is absolutely not enchanting. She behaves well, but she doesn’t make people feel pretentious.
In contrast, if she is the mother of the country, Gu Nanci’s character does appear to be colder.
Zhu Yi did not go to the Hefang Building alone, she took Zhu Chuo with him. Everyone saw that the concubine was taking good care of this sister during the reception, and Princess Rongyu had not yet been married, so some of them were matchmakers.
Zhu Yi looked at Zhu Chuo, but declined one by one.
Women talk a lot when they are together, talking about one, talking about that, time passed without knowing it.
Towards the end of Xu’s time, the female relatives were separated. This is the beauty of Weizhou, I can hardly imagine it in the capital. Both Zhu Yi and Zhu Chuo felt that they were more suitable for living in this Weiyuan city.
Out of the Hefang Building, everyone was about to send Sister Zhu Yi to the carriage, but saw a figure of a man emerge from the carriage.
Because of the unexpected, everyone was shocked for a moment, and again, the young man standing in front of him was actually Xie Ying.
Zhu Yi didn’t expect Xie Ying to show up here and said, “Why are you in my car?”
Xie Ying also did not shy away from being in front of everyone, saying: “I’m here to pick up the princess back to the house.” Everyone around them understood. Obviously, the elder son returned to the palace, but he didn’t see the princess, so he couldn’t wait to pick him up at Hefang Building. This… is too gluey.
Many people around him also secretly admired Xie Ying back then. Although they could not be truly unrequited when they let go of their young girls after marrying, they were a little emotional for a while.
Zhu Yi was so happy that she was slightly shy, and said, “Well, let’s go.”
Back to the palace, the two of them sent Zhu Chuo back to the moon to live together, and then held hands, slowly pacing back to the main hall…
Almost a month in a flash, the Duanyang Festival is here.
Zhu Yi and Zhu Chuo made colorful rice dumplings and sent them to all the masters of the house in advance. The highlight of the day was the dragon boat race.
If the Danshui in the capital is the sound of oars and lights, and the golden powder is beautiful, the Yuanhe River is the magnificence of Chutian Guanlan. The broad surface of the river is surging with white waves, and huge clouds and sails come and go every day.
In Duanyang today, the palace ordered the suspension of all merchant ships, only because the Weizhou soldiers were to hold a dragon boat race on the Yuanhe River.
The two sides of the strait were crowded with people watching the lively activities, and several color platforms were erected. The color platform of the palace occupies the most central position and was built the longest to ensure the best view.
Zhu Yi and Zhu Chuo stood on the edge of the palace color platform, leaning on the railing and looking at the river. Both of them were looking for Han Yunrong’s figure, and they knew that Han Yunrong would participate as one of the helmsman.
The eight lacquered and golden dragon boats were shining brightly in the sun. Fifty strong soldiers stood on each dragon boat, and flags such as “Xiaoshengying” and “Fengfeng Iron Cavalry” were planted on the bow of each dragon boat. Zhu Yi and Zhu Chuo found Han Yunrong at the helm on the dragon boat of the “Shu Rui Camp” almost at the same time, and they both clapped excitedly and shouted.
Although Zhu Yi is married to Xie Ying as a wife, but in the eyes of Princess Mu and Princess Lian, she is still a little girl, so she doesn’t care whether she is sitting on the throne like they do, but goes. Look ahead to the excitement.
I saw the men who were the oarsmen and helmsmen on each dragon boat were all shirtless, showing a strong upper body, and Han Yunrong was naturally no exception. Zhu Chuo didn’t care about being shy, looked at each other with bright eyes, and couldn’t bear to move away for a moment.
The two sisters of Zhu and Yi later learned that Han Yunrong was not an ordinary civil servant, so it is no wonder that they survived repeated assassinations. Yes, the tiger father has no dogs. Han Yunrong had been able to walk since he was a child, and he was asked to give it to Yan Xun by Pei Qing. After losing his memory, he was just not far from the house and was a martial arts gym. I have not forgotten my hobbies, and I like to dance knives and guns like dad. Therefore, even though I study hard, I am still strong.
The most eye-catching thing is not their all shirtless, but all the helmsman and oarsman are painted with vivid color paintings. The totems of each camp are different. They are gluttonous, phoenix, unicorn, 梼杌, 夔, Xianzhi, Xian, and Bifang become more vivid with the ups and downs of the muscles when each man moves.
The Shurui Camp that Han Yunrong belongs to are all painted with fiery red and golden phoenixes. The phoenix does not seem to be gluttonous and fierce. It is not suitable for some brawny oarsmen with overly muscular muscles, but it is reflected on Han Yunrong. His smooth muscle lines and handsome face are in perfect harmony, standing in the sun, the whole person is extraordinarily elegant and majestic.
Zhu Yi looked at his brother proudly, and then started looking for a husband again. Xie Ying went to Zhehu County to inspect the border defense two days ago. He rushed back this morning. Although they had met before, they hadn’t said a few words yet.
Finally I saw Xie Ying in an inconspicuous place, but he did not play, wearing a white brocade robe embroidered with light blue and silver honeysuckle patterns, still standing on the shore refreshingly, talking to someone she didn’t know. .
He seemed to notice that Zhu Yi looked at him condescendingly on the stage, raised his head and smiled at her.
Zhu Dai asked, “Why don’t Cousin and Cousin Shao go to the helm?” Seeing that Xie Ying was not on the dragon boat, she retreated back to Princess Mu and sat beside her with little interest.
The old princess Mu said: “A Ying and A Shao also played two years ago. This time, I don’t want to give up the lottery to other soldiers.”
When Zhu Yi heard Zhu Dai mentioned Xie Ying, he pointed his ears to the answer of Princess Mu. It was a pity that I didn’t see Xie Ying on stage, but she was a little happy. She didn’t want Xie Yingguang to be seen by other women.
The two sisters Zhu Yi walked a few steps in the direction where the dragon boat stopped. Zhu Chuo suddenly said: “I found that there are many men with good figures.” She is always good at discovering these.
Zhu Yi was actually looking at the vivid totems, and he caught sight of them by the way, and responded: “Yes.” She is also used to responding to Zhu Chuo.
Unexpectedly, as soon as her words fell, she heard a male voice asking: “Really…”
“Yeah.” After Zhu Yi answered subconsciously, he realized that the voice was so familiar.
“Are you coming up?” She turned her head, surprised at Xie Ying’s speed, just still below.
Xie Ying didn’t speak, and only looked at her with a very meaningful gaze. Zhu Yi recalled what he had said before and knew it was bad. He quickly coaxed him in a low voice: “I was in a trance just now, but I didn’t even notice what A Chuo asked.”
“Really?” Xie Ying smiled softly at her, still asking these two words.
“Yeah.” Zhu Yi nodded quickly.
Xie Ying didn’t make a statement, but said: “Look at the dragon boat first.” Then he turned his gaze to the surface of the river.
Zhu Yi knew that he meant to go home at night and then liquidate, so he could only watch the dragon boat race first.
With the sound of the big drum, the eight dragon boats moved forward unstoppably like arrows of string.
The shadows were mobbed, the drums smashed the waves, and the people on both sides of the boat made the sound of mountain calls, and each face was beaming. Zhu Yi Zhu Chuo also worked hard to cheer for Han Yunrong.
Eight dragon boats chase after me, biting extremely tightly. After a fierce competition, Han Yunrong and Fufeng Iron Cavalry Lieutenant Xue Xingzhan almost simultaneously won the championship, but Xue Xingzhan was a little bit faster.
“Oh.” Zhu Chuo stomped his feet regrettably, and Zhu Yi also regretted, but this is not one person’s business, it is necessary to talk about the team’s cooperation. Thinking that this second place is not bad, I feel happy again.
At this time, the rankings of the eight boats were decided. Xie Ying was about to go from under the colorful stage to the bank of the river. Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Zhu Yi suddenly covering his chest. Xie Ying stopped and looked at her, and found that the other party’s face was a little pale, immediately He supported her and asked: “Yi Yi is uncomfortable?”
