Chapter 103: Cruises
When they arrived at the river, a three-story pavilion boat stopped on the shore, Zhong Zhan jumped off his horse and went straight, Ruoshu stood on the shore and watched his children get on the boat happily from the veil, and then slowly climbed down the stairs with Lan Zhi's support.
On a small boat next to her, Du Jiuqi looked at her silently, Ruoshu turned his head and found him, looked around, and saw that there was a small boat parked at the other end, and the person standing on it was still a secret guard.
Standing on the deck, Ruo Shu looked up, except for the boatman who was a secret guard, the rest of the people on the ship were brought by Qin Dong, sighed and said, "I didn't expect it to be so troublesome, more people are more things." ”
Lan Zhi continued: "What did the owner say! ”
Ruoshu said: "Leave one layer for me to rest, and let them toss the rest." ”
Lan Zhi saw that the children all ran to the third floor to see the scenery. Then he said: "Let's rest on the first floor, and the banquet will be set up on the second floor later, so it is convenient for everyone." ”
Ruoshu walked into the cabin and saw that fortunately there was a small cubicle, but there was no door, and the partition was hollowed out, but there was finally a shield. chose the position by the window, and asked Lan Zhi why she brought a soft chair, leaned on it and closed her eyes to recuperate, Lan Zhi hurriedly took a thin blanket to cover her, and told Xia Kui to keep it, and she went to the kitchen on the ground floor to arrange the banquet.
Ruoshu felt that the noise upstairs was getting farther and farther away, until someone was playing with her hair, and when she opened her eyes, Qin Daochuan sat beside her, Ruoshu frowned, closed her eyes and prepared to go back to sleep, Qin Daochuan chuckled lightly and said, "How can you cruise like this?" ”
Ruoshu said lazily: "I quickly promised Ah Yun to take her to see the dragon boat, but she told everyone, I can't break my promise, so I have to get such a big boat, you listen to the movement upstairs, how can I stay?" ”
Qin Daochuan said in a low voice: "It's me who is not good, I shouldn't have disturbed your early sleep." ”
Ruoshu glared at him.
Qin Daochuan looked out the window with a smile and said, "The last time such a lively scene was the emperor's 40th birthday, but I have filial piety and I didn't participate." ”
Ruoshu became interested and asked, "So you still tried to compete?" ”
Qin Daochuan snorted and said, "When I was in Lanxi Academy, I formed a team with my peers and participated in one time. ”
Ruoshu asked curiously, "How old were you then?" ”
Qin Daochuan said: "I just turned 12 years old, half an adult, and I don't know the height of the sky. ”
Ruoshu listened to the footsteps upstairs, couldn't help but look at it, and said, "I want to come too." ”
Qin Daochuan also looked at the floor slab and said with a smile: "In a few years, it will be more lively." I also thought it was easier, thinking that I had four followers, so I prepared four for two of them, and now it seems that there are a lot of them. ”
Ruoshu continued: "I also think it's too much, a son and a daughter are the best, neither lonely nor noisy." ”
Qin Daochuan couldn't cry and laughed, and said, "Ah Yun will cry when he hears it." ”
Ruoshu said: "Speaking of her, I've been thinking about where she will live when she grows up, and I don't think you have any plans." ”
Qin Daochuan continued: "Madam is wronged, I am already looking for a site, but I am worried that I have not found a suitable house, and it seems that I can only rebuild it." ”
Ruoshu turned his head to look at him and said, "Have you found a place?" ”
Qin Daochuan said: "I chose a few places, but they are not suitable, and now it is difficult to find a location like the Guogong Mansion." ”
Ruoshu said: "What's good here, there's no superfluous place at all, and it's also my fault that I gave birth to so many and disrupted your original abacus." ”
Qin Daochuan looked at her helplessly and said, "You really don't miss a chance to hurt me." However, you are not wrong that the reason why this happened in the first place was because everyone thought that I would not have a queen. But I didn't expect that I married you, and it became the current situation. ”
Ruoshu didn't delve into this issue, and said, "How did you get up, didn't the boat leave a long time ago?" ”
Qin Daochuan said: "It's rare that Mrs. still remembers this, Mrs. Hui, I was on the boat early in the morning." ”
Ruoshu couldn't help but glance at him and asked, "Why?" ”
Qin Daochuan said: "When a family travels, it is natural to come first to take care of it, so as not to blame Mrs. ”
Ruo Shu thought of the Du Jiuqi he saw just now, no wonder they were all on the boat next to him, it turned out to be because of him. said: "I just saw it on the shore, there don't seem to be many big ships next to it, we won't be too ostentatious, right?" ”
Qin Daochuan said: "There are several princes, but they are all stopped in the distance, and the dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital naturally also have them, and they are all coming out, you get up and take a look." ”
Ruoshu said: "Are they all three-layered? ”
Qin Daochuan said: "Not all, but there are." ”
Ruoshu stopped talking, Qin Daochuan touched her face again and said, "Look at you sleepy, this time, a few yawns, I'm also sleepy, let's rest together." ”
Ruoshu opened his eyes, looked at him and said, "Qin Daochuan, if you do this again, I will go back." ”
Qin Daochuan looked at her innocently, and Ruoshu said coldly: "If you move in front of people again, I want you to look good." ”
Qin Daochuan retracted the hand on Ruoshu's shoulder, touched his nose, lay down, and said, "Okay, everything will listen to Madame." ”
If the cabin of the big ship was quiet, Du Jiuqi on the small boat watched from a distance, his eyes uncertain.
On the high platform on the shore, Gesang Quzhen asked the seven princes beside him: "Aren't you going down to compete?" ”
The Seventh Prince said: "When I was young and frivolous, I also went down to compete, but now that I am older, I can't lose my identity." ”
Gesang Quzhen did not agree, and then said: "In our Tubo, if there is a competition, there must be a person with status to show his skills first, since he is in a high position, he naturally has to be stronger than others to show the difference." ”
Before the seventh prince could speak, the Chen family, who was sitting on the other side, answered: "The princess doesn't know, this is the difference between the Eastern Continent and Tubo, how can the honorable person personally go on the field and lower his status, and most of the next competition is his own house slave or general, and only when he wins does the master have face." ”
Gesang Quzhen snorted, and the Seventh Prince immediately said, "Okay, okay, my father's chariot has arrived, let's get up and greet each other." ”
Gesang Quzhen stood up, still looking around, and familiar people seemed to be here, except for Qin Daochuan.
The right minister looked at the seven princes who took their two wives to ask the emperor for peace, and the emperor let him sit beside him because of the princess Tubo, and the nine princes were one left and one right, faintly fighting against each other.
Looking at Zuo Xiang thoughtfully looking at the Seventh Prince, his mood was even more unhappy, and then he heard Mrs. He's words in his ear, and scolded in a low voice: "What is this place, what are you talking about?" ”
Mrs. He sat down aggrievedly, her eyes still looking at the position of the eldest daughter.
Not far away, He Shiqing sat there alone, and there was no one next to her.
The Seven Princes accompanied the emperor to talk, and naturally mentioned the past of competing dragon boats with Lanxi Academy in the same year, and the emperor looked at He Shiqing's position and asked, "Why is General Qin not here?" Do you still want to end up in the competition? ”
The Seventh Prince also glanced at He Shiqing and did not answer.
The eunuch of the Yellow Gate beside the emperor replied: "General Qin has taken leave. ”
When the emperor heard this, he said with some disappointment: "I still want to talk to him!" ”
He Guifei on the side answered: "I saw him at the wedding banquet of the Seventh Prince a few days ago, but I don't know why I took a leave?" ”
As soon as these words fell, everyone looked at He Shiqing, He Siqing got up and bowed, and replied: "Emperor Qi, concubine Niangniang, the general suffered a little cold yesterday evening, and he had a little cough this morning, so he took leave." ”
The emperor said yes and didn't mention it anymore. The Seventh Prince took the opportunity to chat with him again.
Gesang Quzhen stared at He Shiqing, from head to toe, watching carefully.
The Chen family, who was sitting next to her, saw it and said: "This is the wife of General Qin, the cousin of the noble concubine, the eldest daughter of the right minister, the marriage given by the emperor, and the character and talent are counted in the Eastern Continent." After speaking, he looked at Gesang Quzhen proudly.
Gesang Quzhen listened, but said: "It turned out to be her." A look of disdain.
Chen's face was full of wonder, and he asked, "Could it be that you have known her for a long time?" ”
Gesang Quzhen didn't want to deal with her anymore and set her eyes on the river, but she didn't notice that the Seventh Prince was looking at her suspiciously.
After sitting for a while, Gesang Quzhen said to the Seventh Prince: "Your Highness, sitting here is so sunburned, can you accompany me to the boat to have fun?" ”
The Seven Princes were speechless for a while, where did they get their ship?
Seeing this, Chen relieved the siege and said: "The princess doesn't know, the boats in the red line are all sitting in the mansions of the dignitaries here, and the boats are all women and children who are not qualified to sit here. ”
Gesang Quzhen listened, but then asked, "What about the ones outside the red line?" ”
Chen then replied: "It is the emperor's boat for the people in Beijing to enjoy with the people. ”
Gesang Quzhen shook the silk scarf in his hand in disappointment.
Ruoshu on the boat didn't fall asleep after all, because the upstairs was so noisy that the footsteps running around never stopped.
Qin Daochuan fell asleep on the side, but he didn't know when he stretched out one of his hands and held Ruoshu's hand.
Ruoshu felt that his head hurt a lot, so he rubbed his forehead with his hand, Lan Zhi came in and said softly: "Madam, the snacks on the second floor are ready, since you can't sleep, why don't you go up and take a walk?" ”
Ruoshu nodded, put Qin Daochuan's hand back, and just picked up the blanket, Qin Daochuan opened his eyes and said, "Are you awake?" ”
Ruoshu said angrily: "I didn't sleep well without you." ”
Qin Daochuan took away the blanket on her body, got up and helped her up, and said: "You are used to being quiet, it is normal that you can't sleep in this kind of place, I will accompany you back early in the afternoon, and leave them here to play more, so as not to disturb you." ”
Ruoshu didn't talk, but he felt that he had some sense.
went up to the second floor, there was a big table in the middle, which was full of all kinds of snacks, several children had already washed their hands and were ready to eat, and when they saw their parents, they called their father and mother, Qin Daochuan said with a smile: "Before the dragon boat started, you will lose your armor." ”
Ruoshu took a closer look, and sure enough, because the ship was stuffy, several children took off their coats except for Grace and Zhongzhan.
