"It's in Lone's study, just ask Fang Sheng to lead the way when you go."

After sending this young eunuch away, Li Chengqian couldn't help but look at the surrounding palace maids and eunuchs with suspicion.

God knows how many lowly people are among them?

The counterweight of the hull should not be too heavy, otherwise it will affect the speed after launching.

Attach the sails made of silk and the whole ship model is completed.

Fortunately, the vegetation around the Salt Pond Hall is not very lush, and you can clearly feel the warm summer breeze.

Speaking of which, it's a great place to chill out.

The young eunuch quickly sent the counterweight.

Grabbing a handful of counterweights, Li Yuan smiled slightly, took off his dragon robe, rolled up his trouser legs like Li Chengqian, and went into the water to find balance for his boat.

Li Yuan moved, and the children behind him also moved, and went into the water amid the shouts of their respective nurses and palace maids.

Looking at the scene of the group of ducks entering the water in front of him, Li Chengqian had a headache.

The history books only record that Li Yuan's retirement life is extremely fragrant, but who would have thought that behind the fragrant life, there is still a lot of output.

This is also that the emperor's father is hard-hearted, otherwise so many cheap brothers and sisters, the fief alone can seal most of the entire Tang Dynasty.

Li Lizhi didn't dare to go into the water, so she grabbed Li Tai as her laborer, and forcefully stuffed her boat into her brother's hands and asked her brother to counterweight it.

Li Ke's boat was a bit troublesome, and the place where the counterweight wooden skewers should have been put was inserted into a soldier model by him, causing him to have to reassemble it.

Many of Li Yuan's children failed to build a prototype of a boat, but this still did not affect their fun. The Emperor Taishang is not the only one who lives in the Taiji Hall all the year round.

Li Chengqian found that Li Tai was indeed very spiritual, and the boat with the weight of his hand was actually quite stable, and although the bottom of the boat was not streamlined, it was also sharp, and it would not be subject to too much resistance in the water.

A mighty wind blew, and the brothers' boat sprang forward, and the two guards hurriedly got the boat back, and if they went deeper, it would be deep water.

Li Yuan used to take a boat, and he had a better understanding of the boat, but after a while, his boat could move forward.

Seeing Li Yuan go ashore, Li Chengqian also put away the boat and stepped on the water to go ashore.

Shaking the water on his feet, Li Chengqian picked up the teapot and handed it to Li Yuan: "What does Grandpa Huang think?" ”

Looking at the children laughing and playing on the water, Li Yuan smiled slightly: "Very good, very good, I like this pastime very much." ”

Looking at Li Yuan, who had a kind face, Li Chengqian sighed.

This is the happiness of a Taishang Emperor, for him now, just leaving the Taiji Palace, I'm afraid it is a kind of happiness.

It's just that, judging from his refusal to move out, the anger of the father and son has not ended until now.

"Before the Dragon Boat Festival, let's test the boat first, and on the day of the festival, let's let go of the boat and let them move forward by the wind."

Li Yuan nodded, reached out and tore off a piece of jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Li Chengqian, saying, "I know your hard work, you are a good boy with filial piety after all." This jade pendant belonged to the late Queen Mother Dou, and I always carried it with me. With this piece of jade pendant, Cheng Qian, you can ask the Dou family to do one thing for you. Originally, I planned to take this jade pendant into the ground, but now that I think about it, it would be better to leave you a thought. ”

Accepting the jade pendant handed by Li Yuan, Li Chengqian didn't know what to say. Obviously, this is one of Li Yuan's hole cards, although the Dou family is not as good as the five surnames and seven wangs, but it still has a lot of family influence in the early Tang Dynasty. Starting.. ..

Although he didn't say it explicitly, Li Chengqian knew that this jade pendant was not just as simple as asking the Dou family to do one thing. The ancients attached great importance to promises, so they were extra careful when making promises.

The phrase "ask to do one thing" cannot be interpreted too much.

After giving away the jade pendant, Li Yuan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Take a sip of tea and let the palace maid behind you fan her fan. At this time, Li Yuan was a bit like a vacationer on the beach on the island, calm and relaxed.

The activity of playing in the water lasted for two days, and on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the emperor and queen left the palace and went to Qujiang Pond to participate in today's dragon boat race. After the winner is decided, the Dragon Boat Festival banquet will be held directly in the Furong Garden.

Compared to the bustling southern city, the royal palace in the northern city is relatively quiet.

However, in the silence, the south bank of the salt pond hall is very lively.

Under the command of Li Chengqian, the two guards pulled up a rope, which not only marked the starting line, but also stopped all the boats.

With the order of the referee and contestant Li Yuan, the rope was loosened and sank to the bottom of the water, and the boat that lost its blockage only set off with a gust of wind.

Everyone was glued to their boats, hoping to be first.

The leading ships were naturally Li Yuan, Li Chengqian and Li Tai.

The three boats were like horses in a herd of donkeys, and they easily threw off the large army.

The boat in fourth place surprised Li Chengqian a little, it was actually Li Yuanchang's boat. Looking around, there were too many children, and I couldn't see where he was for a while.

A simple collision left Li Chengqian and Li Yuan's ship behind. Seeing that he was far ahead of the boat, Li Tai laughed, and followed the boat on the corridor by the pool without being tired at all.

Adults naturally can't make the same fuss as children, so Li Chengqian and Li Yuan followed behind slowly, enjoying what children do.

"Grandpa Huang, it seems that Qingque is the first to escape this time, what reward do you plan to give to the first?"

Li Yuan smiled slightly and said: "Although I have retreated to the Taiji Palace, I am not short of money, a few hundred taels of gold, how can I take it out." ”

Seeing Li Yuan's disapproving appearance, Li Chengqian only felt a wave of entrenchment rushing towards him.

"Speaking of which, I heard that your East Palace also has a lot of money, how about it, boy, are you interested in gambling with me? What I like in my life is only gambling. ”

Li Chengqian smiled awkwardly: "Do you think I can play with money?" Even if my father and mother are not accountable, Master Li will break my legs when I go back. ”

The grandfather and grandson talked and laughed and kept up with the team.

It may be because the wind is gone, and the boats on the pond have stopped, and there is a tendency to go sideways.

There's no way around it, it's a model ship, and no one controls it. Moreover, until now, Li Chengqian has not been able to figure out what a gimbal is, let alone carry it on a model ship.

Seeing that the boats had stopped, the children were in a hurry, and Li Tai, who thought that he was the first to win, couldn't help but lie on the railing, stretching out his little fat hand to fan the wind on the surface of the pool.

Seeing his younger brother's stupid appearance, Li Chengqian was just about to step forward to stop this dangerous behavior when he heard Li Taiwei scream.

The next moment, the round figure jumped out of the guardrail!

"Green Sparrow!"

As soon as Li Ke, who was squeezed to the back of the crowd, shouted, he saw a pale yellow figure running down like a sharp arrow....
