Chapter 284: Dragon Boat Festival

"I heard that His Majesty has returned!" Li Luan approached Li Yuan and asked eagerly.

"Hmmm! It's already back! That's why I'm coming to you! Li Luan's voice carried a kind of calmness that was not ordinary people.

"Is there anything my sister is looking for me?" Li Luan asked curiously.

"It's going to be the Dragon Boat Festival soon, I came to remind you, you have to live in peace in the past two days, don't cause anything more! Got it? Li Yuan was afraid that Li Luan would ruin his plan again because he was in a hurry.

"So when exactly are we going to act? My sister said, I have a number in my heart! Li Luan really couldn't bear it.

"Just wait for the night of the Dragon Boat Festival, I have already arranged it, when the time comes, you just need to stay in peace!" Li Yuan is thousands of instructions, for fear that Li Luan will be as nonsense as before.

"Oh well! Then Luan'er will listen to her sister's arrangement! Waiting to see the show! Li Luan took a deep breath and nodded heavily.

"Hmm!" Li Yuan also nodded, his face solemn.

"Just wait for that day!"

She paced into the hall, looked up at the lanterns hanging high in the hall, and said a word that meant a lot.

……

For the next two days, the palace was quiet, and it was not until the morning of the Dragon Boat Festival that everyone began to be busy.

Early in the morning, Li Yi hung the newly picked pampas grass and mugwort leaves on the lintel, while Feng Qingru and the red dove, the two of them sat in the room and made sachets with a smile.

From time to time, the two of them made a sachet one by one.

The sachet is in the shape of a diamond, covered with silk cloth, buckled into a rope with a five-color silk string, the bag hides cinnabar, realgar, incense, outside the bag, stringed with pearls and jade, decorated with red silk tassels.

Strings of strings, strips, colorful, so beautiful.

"The dumplings are good! ~”

Feng Qingru and the red dove made sachets and were cleaning up the tabletop, but Li Yi and Wang Yu walked in.

Wang Yuha hunched his waist and held a tray with both hands, on which were plates and bowls, on which were a stack of fresh, rice-flavored horn dumplings, and a few eggs with dark yellow shells and boiled eggs in the bowl.

"Oops! All right! The red dove clapped her hands excitedly, looking like a gluttonous cat and salivating.

"Let's eat!" Feng Qingru picked up the tassel of the sachet, looked at the red dove with a smile, and then packed up his things.

"Hmm!" The red dove nodded unceremoniously, picked up the zongzi and peeled off the skin.

"It's delicious!" The red dove was eating, and he couldn't forget the admiration on his lips.

"Eat too, both of you!"

Feng Qingru smiled and invited Li Yi to share with Wang Yu.

"Good!"

"Yes!"

The two of them answered softly, and then sat around the table.

Wang Yu and the red dove ate with relish.

"Give!" Li Yi peeled off a zongzi, but handed it to Feng Qingru.

He stared at Feng Qingru affectionately, only hoping that she would be able to take the zongzi he handed over.

Because, this is not just a zongzi, but a complex of two people.

Feng Qingru glanced up at Li Yi, and felt indescribable in her heart.

In the past few days, she has not taken much care of Li Yi or Xiao Xincheng, and her heart, which was supposed to restore her calmness, seems to have been flooded with layers of waves.

Stretched out his hand to take it, but his hand couldn't help but stop in mid-air, Feng Qingru stretched out his hand, but hesitated again, and Li Yi, looking at Feng Qingru's uncertain appearance, also became nervous.

Won't she even accept a zongzi?

Wang Yu and Red Dove glanced at each other and felt helpless for the two.

"County Lord, eat one! It's really delicious! ”

"Yes! Let's eat one! It's just a rice dumpling! ”

Red Dove and Wang Yu successively persuaded Feng Qingru.

Feng Qingru glanced at the red dove and Wang Yu, and also felt that the two of them were very reasonable.

It's just a rice dumpling, so why should I do this?

Thinking of this, Feng Qingru's hand moved forward another inch and took the zongzi handed by Li Yi.

"Thank you!" Feng Qingru smiled and said politely to Li Yi.

"You're welcome!" Seeing that Feng Qingru was willing to take the zongzi he handed over, Li Yi couldn't close his mouth happily.

That's a good start!

The four of them were all happy, smiling and eating zongzi.

While eating, a person walked in outside the door.

Several people looked up and shouted for him to come over and eat zongzi.

The person who came was hugging.

He came to herald the order and invited Feng Qingru to watch the dragon boat race on the riverside.

Feng Qingru received a message from Bao Ling, answered, cleaned up, and got up to leave with Bao Wei.

From time to time, several people rushed to the riverside.

It is said that it is a riverside, but it is better to say that this is an inland river in the palace.

The river is wide, flowing from the north of the palace to the south of the palace, running through the entire palace, and then slowly flowing outside the city.

Because of the wide river and gentle current, the dragon boat race was chosen to be held here.

Feng Qingru came to the riverside, and everyone had already arrived.

On a stand made of high wood, Tuoba Hiroshi and the others were sitting in a row.

Xiao Xincheng, Feng Xi and his wife, Tuoba Jing, Feng Chuchu, everyone who is familiar with them every day, are all in the stands.

Feng Qingru slowly walked to the stands and sat on the chair that had been prepared.

Li Yi, Wang Yu, and Red Dove followed.

Feng Qingru and Tuoba Hongqi sat in the stands, up and down, and began to look around.

Right now, it's full of people. Men and women, young and old, no matter who they are, are all well-dressed and luxuriously dressed.

It is estimated that today, all those who have status in the city have come here.

At this moment, a crowd of people rushed towards the river. In the crowd, several unique boats were slowly dragged into the water.

These boats are different from ordinary wooden boats, with a thin and narrow body, and the whole body is painted with dragon scales, and the ends are raised high, with a dragon head at one end and a dragon tail at the other.

From a distance, it looks like a dragon.

These dragons have all been hollowed out of their stomachs. Two rows of seats were opened in the belly, and the seats were filled with more than 20 people one after another.

Most of the people who sat on it were sturdy and nimble young men, each of whom was full of red cloth and was full of energy, and they still held a short and small wooden oar in their hands.

In the bow of the ship, there is also a leader holding two small flags, he is responsible for directing the advance and retreat of the ship, and in the middle, there is also a drummer and a gong player, obviously, responsible for strengthening the military prestige.

Each boat represents a team, five boats, and all five teams went down the river to prepare for the race.

"I've seen it a few times, but this time it's really spectacular!" Feng Qingru sat in the stands and was amazed when he saw the spectacular scene in front of him.

"Thanks to His Majesty's good governance in the past two years, that's why there will be such a peaceful scene!" Xiao Xincheng sat aside and said from his heart. (To be continued.) )
