The regatta is finally here. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The autumnal equinox, the weather is surprisingly good.

Yunyang stood next to Tianyuan Pond in his official uniform, raised his eyes to look at the golden glow on the horizon, and thought to himself: "Today's sky is beautiful, the blue sky is like a wash, and I don't want to work hard these days." ”

At this time, a eunuch from the Imperial Palace Bureau came over and said: "Lord Du, there was a word from Tai Changqing's mansion just now, saying that Tai Changqing occasionally felt a cold last night, and he was in pain this morning, and he couldn't go out." ”

"Tai Changqing's seat is in the first row of Lutai in the southwest. If he doesn't come, the seat will be empty, and the emperor can see it at a glance. ”

Yunyang listened to the little eunuch's words, and the happy expression on his face just now swept away. Her eyebrows tightened, and she said in a hurried tone, "Quickly bring me the seat drawings I drew for you." ”

"There will be half an hour before the door of Danyang Palace will open, and when the hundred officials come in one after another, the seats will not be adjusted."

The little eunuch trotted all the way to get the drawings, and Yunyang looked at them carefully. Sui Su had already prepared a brush next to him, and Yun Yang took it and changed it "swish", threw it to the little eunuch and said, "Go quickly, adjust the position according to the picture!" ”

The little eunuch answered, took the drawings, and ran away without a trace.

At this time, Yun Yang seemed to remember something, and asked Sui Su with a nervous expression, "Did you send those mahogany chairs with gold armrests?" ”

Sui Yun pointed to the edge of the Tianyuan Pool: "The people from the Hook and Shield Bureau sent it early in the morning, but they didn't care if they were left there." No one has taken an inventory yet. ”

Yunyang felt a string in his head jumping and jumping: "Quick, follow me over there, let's count the number first......"

With all these trivial matters one by one, Yun Yang was so busy that he was almost out of breath. I don't know how long it took, but I finally got free, so Yunyang sat down and took a sip of tea.

She looked up and saw that the guests in the stands by the Tianyuan Pool were basically seated, and at this time, they were greeting each other. For a while, there was a lot of noise, so it was not lively.

There are stands named after 12 beasts, such as dragons, phoenixes, unicorns, tigers, leopards, deer, and cranes, and are placed in the position of the twelve stars in the sky.

Behind each stand, there are also colorful flags painted with Rui beasts more than one pole and two feet high. Colorful flags are waving in the wind, rustling and sounding.

Between the stands, maids dressed in silk pigment gauze palace clothes carry various pots to pour wine and tea for the guests. Other maids dressed in ivory-yellow silk palace robes carry uniform ebony lacquered food boxes to bring pastries and preserves to guests.

At this moment, I heard the "rumbling ......" nine cannon salutes sound, and the guests in the stands gradually quieted down.

The flow of the waterfall on the edge of the West Sea is slowly becoming smaller at this time, from a water curtain like thousands of horses galloping to a crystal clear water curtain.

A tall and majestic catamaran with a five-house platform slowly sailed out from behind the water curtain.

The boat is more than eight feet long and five feet high, and the two golden dragons on both sides of the hull are carved with cedar wood, and the top of the five-story platform on the hull is covered with gold leaf.

The four sides of the building are covered with nine-colored and eight-tie halo brocade curtains, and the fourth and fifth floors are opened up to form a large viewing platform. The incense flags float on the stage, and the palace maid holds various colored feather fans with floating, strip melting, light and shadows standing on the side of the stage.

The emperor and empress sat in the center of the ceremonial platform, and Concubine Chen and Concubine Min sat on either side.

The dozens of cranes that originally inhabited Fangjia and Yang Mountain were also alarmed by this big battle for a while. Fluttering down the hill, attracted by the aroma of the boat, circling around the hull......

The large size of the boat makes it smooth and safe. It rode the wind and waves, straight forward, and passed through the mountains through the gap between Fanga and Yangshan.

Just as the boat passed between the two mountains, the palace people who stood on the hanging corridor connecting Fangjia and Yangshan picked up the ones that had been prepared in advance

The thick rope is pulled vigorously to both sides.

With the movement of the palace people, a red-gold silk banner that was originally rolled under the hanging corridor was opened, and I saw a few big characters embroidered on it with mercerized red silk: "Fukuzawa Hainewei Universe".

At the same time that the silk banner was opened, tens of thousands of newly picked flowers that had been placed in the silk banner were also sprinkled, flying all over the sky, turning into a shower of flower rain with the wind, and falling on the boat.

When the guests saw the emperor and the ladies sailing over in a picturesque boat, they were stunned for a moment, and only after a moment did they thunder with joy.

After passing between the two mountains, the boat did not move forward, but turned ninety degrees on the spot, and crossed between Fangjia and Yangshan. It has formed a three-legged trend with the two mountains.

At this time, four or five skilled boatmen disembarked from the ship and fixed the ship at the foot of Fanga and Yangshan with iron chains and copper rings. It is convenient for the emperor and the concubines to watch the game smoothly for a while.

Yun Yang was on the shore, holding a pergola in his hand, and carefully watched the appearance of the big boat. Seeing that everything went smoothly and there were no accidents, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She couldn't see Zhao Yuan's appearance clearly from too far away, only his broad shoulders and straight back. The ladies sat beside him with flowers, a red cloud and green shadow, full of greenery.

Yunyang thought to himself: "In the list of the emperor sent to the ship yesterday, Xie Ronghua was originally written. But when the emperor came back, he crossed out Xie Ronghua's name with a red pen, but he didn't say where to arrange her. ”

"Therefore, Xie Ronghua was not invited to today's regatta." Thinking of this, Yun Yang felt sad in his heart: "At today's conference, even the families of the six-rank officials of the DPRK and China can enter the palace to watch, but Xie Ronghua can only stay alone in Zenglan Palace. ”

"She had been framed by her father once, and now the emperor was doing this to her. I'm afraid that the desolation of this Zeng Lan Palace will be difficult for others to understand. ”

Just as she was thinking about it, she felt that Sui Yun tugged at her sleeve and whispered, "County Lord, look! The daughter of Dr. Guanglu's family is here. ”

Yun Yang looked in the direction of her finger and saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young lady wearing a red Luo skirt standing not far away. now

She was standing on the shore with a tray with a nervous expression on her face, and in the tray was a vermilion gong hammer.

This young lady also saw Yun Yang, and blessed Yun Yang from afar. Yunyang saw it and hurriedly returned the gift.

It turned out that although Yunyang did not agree to the request of Dr. Guanglu's daughter to sit within five steps of King Rui. But it is rare to read her a girl's true feelings, and specially arranged for her to be the master of ceremonies, and handed the gong and hammer to King Rui face to face for a while, so that she could see it more clearly.

Just as Yunyang looked around to see where there was anything missing, Liu Fuquan, the eunuch in charge of the emperor's side, came over.

He first gave a salute, and then said in a low and gentle voice: "Lord Du, the emperor invites you to go to the big boat to watch the boat race." ”

When Yunyang heard this, he lowered his head and said with some embarrassment: "Thank the emperor for his favor." But isn't that a suspicion of overstepping......"

Liu Fuquan shook the dust in his hand lightly, and said with a smile: "My lord is too worried, you are in charge of the entire competition." Sit next to the emperor and his mother, so that the holy will can be conveyed in time! ”
