Rong Sleeping Crane almost opened the door with a fierce look in his eyes.

However, the moment the hatch opened, he was already smiling brightly: "This father-in-law's noble surname is not long since Xiao Wang returned to the clan, and if he is neglectful, please ask his father-in-law Haihan!"

The chamberlain knew that he was deeply loved by Concubine Shu at this time, and the Shu sisters had always been headed by Concubine Shu, so they didn't dare to be arrogant, so they bowed down and said, "How dare you! ”

"It turned out to be Gonggong Cai!" Rong Sleepy Crane said with a smile, "Calculate the time, the boat race is about to start, but I don't know that the concubine Niangniang will pass ......the little king to go up at this time."

He didn't finish his sentence, but quietly stuffed his purse over.

Cai Bao took it quietly, pinched it quietly, smiled a little more, and said in a low voice: "The king of the county doesn't have to worry! But after the boat race, the two ladies were going to sing and dance in person to cheer His Majesty. Just now, the noble concubine Niangniang told His Majesty that there are mostly old songs in the palace, which are not interesting. You and Tanhua, who happen to be the champions, are on the boat, so please go up and compose a few new words on the spot. ”

The voice was lowered, "With the talent of the county king, such a trivial matter must be captured! When the time comes, there will be two more beautiful words, and the future of the county king will not need to be said!"

Rong Sleeping Crane said with a smile: "Auntie is really sitting on her words and deeds, and she will think of Xiao Wang at this time." ”

raised his hand and straightened his clothes, and was about to move, but after thinking about it, he whispered to Cai Bao again, "Grandpa Cai, Kang Zhao ...... her"

"The county lord will go up together. Cai Bao said knowingly, "Anyway, the concubine also asked the queen to go up...... It's the county lord who waits for a while, if he sees the concubine talking to the queen......"

He winked, and Rong Sleeping Crane said, "Xiao Wang understands." ”

He turned his head to Sheng Weiqiao and said, "Good girl, let's go up! Wait a minute, you don't have to say a few words, the affairs in the palace are not for you, the daughter of a foreign minister, to interject." ”

Sheng Weiqiao had just announced the break with him, and at this time, seeing that he was still calling himself "good girl" as if he was nothing, he couldn't help but grit his teeth secretly, but Cai Bao was watching from the side, she couldn't afford to offend Shu Guifei, so she could only follow Rong Sleeping Crane depressedly and walked out of the cabin.

Gathered Ju Li and Gongsun Xi, who were already waiting outside, and when the group went up to the top floor, Queen Meng and the others were already seated.

At this time, the seat was really full of malice towards Queen Meng: Emperor Xuanjing was at the top, Concubine Shu and Shu Zhaoyi were accompanied by one left and one right, and Queen Meng could only sit at the bottom and not say anything, and was arranged on the right side!

Since ancient times, the Central Plains court has been respectful of the left.

Empress Meng, as the successor of Emperor Xuanjing's official marriage into the palace, failed to sit with Emperor Xuanjing, she was already very faceless, and she couldn't even sit on the left side at this time.

At this time, seeing Rong Sleeping Crane and Sheng Weiqiao coming up, Concubine Shu Guifei also pointed at Rong Sleeping Crane with a group fan with a smile, and said to Emperor Xuanjing: "Your Majesty, although the king of Mizhen County was cut off from the title of champion as a son of the clan, his talent and learning have been tested by the imperial examination. I heard that virtuous monarchs in ancient times valued talents rather than beauty. Today, Your Majesty has ordered the King of Mizhen County to live above the queen, which is truly the work of a virtuous monarch and the demeanor of a holy lord!"

If there are loyal ministers who hear such absurd words that reverse morality, seniority, and humility, they will definitely stand up and admonish.

But at this time, the people on the boat were either thinking about currying favor with Emperor Xuanjing, or thinking about not provoking Emperor Xuanjing, so no one refuted it at all, and the waiters around the concubine also echoed and praised a few words, and the straightforward Shu Guifei seemed to be a virtuous concubine who could not be born for a hundred generations.

However, Emperor Xuanjing, who was obviously still very self-aware, did not think that he could prove that he was a good emperor by doing so, and only said: "Since the seat is arranged by the concubine, the concubine can let them sit however they want." ”

Glancing at Rong Sleeping Crane, probably the emperor had eaten sobering soup in the middle, this time it was not like the vagueness when he accepted Rong Sleeping Crane's visit, stroked his short hair, and said, "This kid is really energetic, and he didn't know that it was my royal disciple when I met in the Sleepless Pavilion before...... The two sons raised by the second brother are said to have no ability?

Concubine Shu Guifei glanced at Shu Zhaoyi, and Shu Zhaoyi said softly: "Isn't it? This kid is the youngest son of the Gaomi royal couple! It looks much stronger than his second brother Qingqing! Your Majesty, do you say?"

As he spoke, his eyes flowed, and he was infinitely charming, and he gently pinched Emperor Xuanjing with his hand.

Emperor Xuanjing's heart fluttered, and naturally he would not refute, and said with a smile: "It's too strong!

So he asked Zhaoyi, "What did you say you wanted to reward him?"

"This kid is a filial person, so he doesn't value anything. At this time, Concubine Shu said with a smile, "It's that he has been living abroad since he was a child, and he admires his blood relatives very much." In the future, His Majesty allowed him to enter the palace from time to time to see our sisters, and talk about the loneliness under his knees, that is. ”

Hearing this, the faces of the people present all changed!

If it is said that Concubine Shu Guifei sighed on the lakeside just now that Rong Sleeping Crane failed to grow up in Chang'an, but it is possible that she wants to pass Rong Sleeping Crane to their sisters' knees, then she proposed to Emperor Xuanjing that she wanted Rong Sleeping Crane to relieve their loneliness under their knees, which is equivalent to naked, naked, and naked wanting Rong Sleeping Crane to inherit the heir of Emperor Xuanjing!

Meng Shuangli knew that the matter was serious, but she was helpless, and looked at Queen Meng one after another.

Empress Meng's expression was calm, and she said, "Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that the concubine's invitation is very reasonable. The concubine has been in the palace for less than half a year, and if it weren't for the sisters, sisters-in-law, and nieces who often visit the palace, they would also feel that the Wangchun Palace is deserted. What's more, the concubine sisters have been in the palace for more than 20 years, and they are several years older than the concubines? Moreover, the prince of Mizhen County is handsome and graceful, and he makes people feel comfortable when he looks at it, and he is really a pleasing junior. ”

After the queen said this, Shu Guifei and Shu Zhaoyi's faces were a little gloomy: What does it mean that their sisters have been in the palace for more than 20 years, and they are several years older than the queen?

While this is true, ...... For the favorite concubines of the Shu sisters, age is the most taboo topic!

Especially the meaning of the queen's words: In terms of age, this palace is more than enough to be your daughter!

Where can the sisters who listen not gnash their teeth?

And the queen's final praise of Rong Sleeping Crane sounded like echoing Concubine Shu, but in fact, it was hinting to Emperor Xuanjing: The deep palace is lonely, you are an old man who is over half a hundred years old, so you can rest assured that such a young and handsome nephew will associate with your favorite concubine? !

"Meng Biyun, this slut!!" Concubine Shu scolded in her heart, her face sank, and said: "The queen keeps saying that Wangchun Palace is deserted, what does this mean?!Do you think Your Majesty has treated you badly, or do you think that our sisters have not often persuaded Your Majesty to go to your palace, and feel wronged?!"

Empress Meng said lightly: "The concubine thinks too much, the palace is just not in the palace for long enough, and she is still adapting." ”

The concubine's suspicious words emphasized that their sisters were old and were secretly gritting their teeth, but Shu Zhaoyi quietly pulled her sleeve and motioned her to stop for the time being: "Sister, the boat race over there is coming, it's about to start!"

When the group heard this, they looked in the direction she signaled, and saw the sky, where two dragon boats dressed in flowers were breaking the waves, flying like arrows.

After the dragon boat, there were a number of boats and boats, all dressed in red and hung colors for the sake of the festival, which was very gorgeous.

These boats did not dare to approach the building ship where the holy driver was located without authorization, but sent messengers to come by sampan to ask for instructions, and then passed it in flags, and saw two three-story building boats, quickly separated, and pulled a brocade rope more than 20 zhang long on the surface of the lake.

A series of silk flowers are tied to the rope, which is very conspicuous and dazzling between the lake water of Qinglingling and the grass and trees of Bisensen.

A sturdy man shirtless, exposing the muscles of his upper body, holding a gong, strode onto the deck of one of the buildings, first bowed to Emperor Xuanjing's side, and then raised the hammer high, and struck it with a "bang", and the gong sounded like an invisible water pattern swinging in a circle.

And the two building boats pulling the brocade rope also quickly let go of the rope at the same time, and almost at the moment when the rope fell to the lake, the dragon boat that originally touched the brocade rope with the head of the boat and the dragon head suddenly moved!

"Knock, knock, knock!"

The drummers on the dragon boat were dressed in small coats, soap-colored trousers, barefoot, with colorful silk scarves tied around their waists, and brocade handkerchiefs wrapped around their heads; the oarsmen were dressed as if they were not wearing small coats, and they were all exposed to their naked upper bodies like the men who had just come out to play gongs, and their strong muscles shimmered with the brilliance of strength in the bright May sun.

At this moment, both drummers raised their drumsticks, and the drums were struck in a heavy and gradually high beat.

As the drumbeat gradually intensified, the dragon boat was also speeding up rapidly.

Seeing this, Cai Bao hurriedly ordered to go down and told the boat to hurry up and follow, so as not to delay the viewing of the nobles.

To be honest, this boat race is still very exciting, after all, the athletes on the dragon boat are originally stationed in Chunbo Lake among the selected elite soldiers, in order to let the emperor and the favorite concubine can have fun, the two dragon boats all the way you chase me, sometimes go hand in hand, sometimes a millimeter difference, mixed with a variety of thrilling conditions, can be described as ups and downs, wonderful.

In the end, I felt that the performance was almost over, and it ended with the dragon boat wrapped in the blue pat wrapping its head touching the rope at the end of the line two fingers away.

It's just that most of the people on Emperor Xuanjing's side have things hidden in their hearts, but they are all absent-minded.

After the boat race ended, Cai Bao went down to reward and encourage, and the Shu sisters ordered someone to clean up the venue, listed the book case, and asked Rong Sleeping Crane and Tanhua to write poems and lyrics on the spot, thinking that it was a new song.

At this time, Queen Meng and her party were also nervous, and the Shu sisters were busy watching the race, and they had no time to find trouble with the queen.

I don't know if Chunlai really made a mistake or if Queen Meng wanted to retire in this way, and the bookcase was just laid out, Chunlai let out a "ah" sound, knelt down with a panicked face, and everyone followed the prestige, and saw that the queen's sleeve was wet with a large wine stain.

"The concubine is out of order, please let the concubine go down to change her clothes. The Empress immediately got up and asked Emperor Xuanjing for instructions.

Hearing this, Meng Shuangli and Sheng Weiqiao's hearts were pounding, for fear that Concubine Shu would not allow it.

Sure enough, Concubine Shu raised her eyebrows, looked at her with a smile, and said, "Niangniang's sleeves are turned over, and she wants to change her clothes, which is understandable, but in front of Your Majesty, the shelf doesn't have to be so big, right?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Sheng Weiqiao, Meng Shuangli and others, and the meaning was very clear, the queen could go to change clothes, but don't want to take everyone away!

If Queen Meng wants to go back forever...... These people she left behind are going to be unlucky!

Empress Meng glanced at Emperor Xuanjing, and seeing that he didn't speak, she obviously acquiesced to Concubine Shu's words, pursed her lips, glanced at Sheng Weiqiao, and said, "Kang Zhao, then you can go down with me!"

The three Meng Shuangling sisters were very disappointed when they saw that the queen didn't mention them, but because Sheng Weiqiao was the only one who dared to try to relieve the queen, they had nothing to say about being compared to each other at this time, and they didn't show any jealousy and disbelief.

The queen and Sheng Weiqiao went down to the top floor and walked down.

Because these people were forcibly brought over by Concubine Shu, they didn't bring them over to change their clothes and skirts or anything.

At this moment, the palace maid who led the way led them to a cabin on the fourth floor, which happened to be on the back because of the direction of the ship at the moment.

But it was not dark inside, for the portholes were very wide, and now they were all open, and the sky was shining in.

I saw a whole circle of half-person-high camphor wood carved phoenix peony suitcase, and guessed that it must be owned by the Shu sisters.

After she entered the door, she took out the keys from her arms, unlocked them one by one, and said: "These are the dresses of the concubine, and please choose the queen at will!"

Because she even opened a few mouthfuls of the concubine's grade clothes, although Concubine Shu Guifei overtook her court dress over the queen's dress, but Queen Meng would definitely not wear a dress like her, so she asked: "Do you have regular clothes?"

Yunxia thought for a while and said, "Yes." ”

I walked towards the box in the window.

Seeing this, Queen Meng also walked to the window, and then, I don't know if Yunxia had a whim, or if she had already calculated, she took advantage of the action of taking a step back after opening the box, and just happened to hit Queen Meng, and knocked the unsuspecting Queen Meng directly out of the wide open porthole!

"Niangniang?!" Sheng Weiqiao saw this, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull it in fright, because she was standing beside Queen Meng, she subconsciously reached out at this time, but she happened to catch the queen, but she overestimated her own strength, not only failed to pull the queen back from the window, but was thrown out by the queen with a piece!

"County Lord!" At this time, the chrysanthemum fence and the spring came to the frightened souls, and they screamed one after another, "Someone! Help! The queen mother and the county lord Kangzhao fell into the lake!"

Before he finished speaking, a cyan figure on the top floor rushed out of the side of the boat with lightning speed, jumped into the lake, and swam quickly to the two who fell into the lake!
