Chapter 226: Five Yang Dragon Boat Race

"It's about to be the Wuyang Festival, and the Dragon Boat Race will be held in West Kyoto every year during the Wuyang Festival, so won't it be lively again?"

The Eastern Jin Dynasty has a festival similar to the Dragon Boat Festival called the Wuyang Festival, the specific origin of the festival Lin Mumu is not very clear, but the customs of the festival are similar to the Dragon Boat Festival.

In order to show his pro-people side, Emperor Showa will hold a competition to celebrate with the people every year, which is to let the children of those aristocratic families race dragon boats with the common people.

If she remembers correctly, it seems that it was the common people who won last year, and this year it should be the children of the nobles, to put it bluntly, this year it is the people who play with the children of the nobles.

Lin Mumu was not interested in this kind of excitement, so she closed her eyes. "Oh."

"I also heard that the Western Chu Kingdom will also participate this year."

Lin Mumu opened his eyes at this time. "The Western Chu Kingdom is also going to participate?"

"Yes, the Sunset Pass will definitely be crowded with people by then."

Sunset Pass ......

Lin Mumu sat up from her chair suddenly, she almost forgot that the annual dragon boat race was held in Xixia Pass.

At this time, someone broke out that the water dragon talisman was hidden in the Sunset Pass, and if there was nothing twisting and turning, Lin Mumu really didn't believe it.

Xixia Pass is now blocked by the forbidden army, and Emperor Showa didn't cancel this year's dragon boat race, so he probably didn't find anything there, otherwise how could he let so many people in?

……

On the day of the Wuyang Festival, Lin Mumu was taken out of bed early.

Because the dragon boat race is going to be held today, half of the female doctors from the Women's Medical Department have to go to the Xixia Pass to be on standby.

Lin Mumu really regretted that she had nothing to do to be a female doctor, it was better to be a folk doctor to be free.

"Miss, wake up, you can't be too late."

Shuangshuang and skillfully packed up the people and pushed her out the door.

Lin Mumu sat in the carriage and came to the outside of the women's medical office, and as soon as she stood still, she saw Cai Yuan walking out of the medical office.

"Get in the carriage and get ready to go."

"Yes."

"Lord Lin, you came in time today, because you didn't even call your name when you were in a hurry."

Lin Mumu was already bad when she was late for work before, and Cai Yuan rolled her eyes a few times, and reprimanded her in private.

To say that Cai Yuanzheng is also a rigid person, although Lin Mumu saved her before, she was not left behind as she should be punished and scolded.

The carriage was limited, so Lin Mumu was crammed into a carriage with three medical officers and four female doctors.

The dragon boat race is a race close to the people, today Emperor Showa did not let the forbidden army fortify the people, so today the four city gates are almost full of people, and the people are happy to follow the sunset pass side.

Fortunately, the imperial court used the north city gate as a passage for officials to travel, otherwise there were so many people, and the game would have to be over when they got there.

"The people's interest is really high."

"That's not it, every year after the dragon boat race, the emperor will let people scatter money to improve their prestige among the people, not to mention this year's sacrifice to the heavens......"

"Ahem."

Before the medical officer opposite Lin Mumu could finish speaking, he was interrupted by another older man. "It has rained in Xicheng a few days ago, and the emperor also sent a lot of relief food before that, and now the people of Xicheng have no one to make trouble anymore, they only say that the emperor is Shengming, and the horse doctor must not talk nonsense."

Doctor Ma listened to the words on her face, thinking that there was a palace person in the palace talking nonsense before, and she was a little afraid that the next day the person would be gone. "That's what Doctor Wang said."

"Last year, the emperor gave a thousand taels of gold, I don't know what kind of lottery will be this year."

Doctor Ma quickly diverted the topic.

"I'm really not sure about this, but I'll know when I get to Sunset Pass in a while."

Xixia Pass is some distance from Xijing City, but it is not far, and it takes half an hour to walk after leaving the city.

When Lin Mumu got off the carriage, he felt that his back was wet with sweat.

"That's a lot of people."

As far as the eye can see, there are crowds of people everywhere.

Imperial officials would have a special resting place, located on a relatively high open field, where 80% of the stage could be seen.

Not long after Lin Mumu arrived at the place, he saw Zhao Chen and Zhao Hanjun in strong suits, as well as Zhao Rufei, Zhao Muyu and others who had not seen him for a long time.

Except for Zhao Rufei, they were all wearing power suits, but the colors were not quite the same, and they were wearing foreheads of the same color as their clothes on their heads.

Lin Mumu couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the princes are going to play this year?

Not long after, Nangong Cong and Nangong Allure of the Western Chu Kingdom also arrived.

Nangong Cong also wore a strong suit, and Nangong Allure was wearing a moon-white riding suit, which completely suppressed the delicate air on her body, showing a trace of heroism.

Nangong Cong is going to end up, she can understand, Nangong Allure is going to join in the fun?

As soon as Lin Mumu turned his eyes, he saw Zhao Xuanling walking towards him.

She hadn't seen him since the last time she left the palace, and he was as brilliant as ever, attracting everyone's attention as soon as he appeared.

Zhao Xuanling was wearing a python robe embroidered with dark patterns, and he wore a jade crown on his head, and he didn't look like he was going to end.

As if sensing Lin Mumu's gaze, Zhao Xuanling glanced sideways at her.

Lin Mumu hurriedly moved her face away and pretended to look elsewhere.

Hmph, she is simply appreciating the good-looking skin, the breath in her heart hasn't been swallowed yet, don't think she will greet him with a smile like before!

"Uncle Wang won't play this year, it's a pity, I'm still thinking about competing with Uncle Wang this year."

Zhao Chen walked to Zhao Xuanling's side, but his eyes glanced in the direction where Lin Mumu was.

"This king is not feeling well, so I will not disturb your interest."

"The King is unwell? Have you seen a doctor? ”

Nangong Allure didn't know when he came to Zhao Xuanling's side and said with a concerned face.

Nangong Chengcheng's eyes are very moist, and when she looks at someone seriously, she always gives people the illusion of looking at each other affectionately, and it is precisely because of this that I don't know how many people in Xichu have fallen under her eyes.

Zhao Xuanling glanced at her lightly. "This king is fine."

"It's okay if the prince is fine."

Although Lin Mumu told herself not to look at Zhao Xuanling anymore, when she saw Nangong Allure standing beside Zhao Xuanling with a smile on her face, the sour pressure in her heart couldn't be suppressed!

"Hmph, scumbag!"

"Lord Lin, what are you looking at? Cai Yuan is asking us to go to the back, saying that he has something to explain. Wang Ru walked up to Lin Mumu and said.

Lin Mumu came back to her senses and glared at the backs of the two fiercely before leaving with Wang Ru.

What Cai Yuanzheng explained was nothing more than to cheer them up, because today's game was almost the most noble and important in the entire Eastern Jin Dynasty

If there is any emergency, they must react as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty, the queen has arrived."

As soon as Cai Yuanzheng finished speaking, Emperor Showa and the Empress arrived.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Emperor Showa came to sit down on the dragon chair, looked at the person who knelt down, and felt great satisfaction in his heart, completely expelling his recent haze.

This is his country, and it can only be his!

"Get up."

"Your Majesty."

"Today is the annual Wuyang Festival, and I am also looking forward to this year's Dragon Boat Race.

As soon as Emperor Showa gave the order, the forbidden army walked up with a heavy shelf.

Emperor Showa stood up and personally stepped forward to lift the red cloth on the shelf.

The moment the red cloth was lifted, a cold light flashed.

"This, this is the armor ......"

"This is the armor I made of dark iron, invulnerable."

Darkiron armor, it sounds expensive!

This lottery is obviously for the noble team, and the common people cheer along with the occasion.

It is more practical to give this thing to them than to give some real money, so Emperor Showa is still very good at this.

"This year's competition is slightly different from previous years, this year it will be divided into three square competitions, in addition to the previous year's civil team and the family team, there is also a team from the Western Chu Kingdom."

In previous years, the rules of the competition were that each square produced five dragon boats, and the team that reached the finish line first won the prize, while the main lottery of the Showa Emperor gave the winning dragon boat, and the rest of the dragon ships of the same square would get other rewards.

"Princess Crescent, I look at your outfit, is it possible that you will not be able to play the next game?"

"I really want to go down and beat the drum for my Xichu to boost morale."

"Okay, the princess of the crescent moon is really a woman, otherwise she has eyebrows."

"Thank you for the compliment."

With a "clang", the auspicious time has arrived.

Emperor Showa waved his long sleeves and said with a full of energy: "All parties are in place, and the game is ready to start." ”

Emperor Showa gave an order, and all the people who participated in the competition went to the designated position to wait, a total of fifteen dragon boats, the common people's team was cyan, the nobles' children were yellow, and the Western Chu team was blue.

Seeing that the game was about to start, Lin Mumu saw someone walk up to Cai Yuan and say something to her.

After a while, Cai Yuanzheng came to Lin Mumu and them.

"The emperor is afraid that each team will have something wrong during the game, and every dragon boat needs a healer to follow."

Cai Yuan ordered a few people after finishing speaking, including Lin Mumu.

In the end, Lin Mumu was assigned to guard Zhao Chen's dragon boat, and they would have other ships to sit on and not on the dragon boat.

Seeing Lin Mumu, Zhao Chen raised the corners of his lips and gave her a charming smile.

Lin Mumu looked away as if she didn't see it, at least half of the responsibility for her last hijacking by the King of Nanyang was to be spread on Zhao Chen's head, this person looks like I am very prodigal and angry with everyone, in fact, her mind is very heavy, the danger factor of this kind of person is not lower than Zhao Xuanling, it is better for her to stay away, so as not to cause a commotion again!

All participants and reserve personnel went to the designated boat.

The master of ceremonies on the shore glanced at the hourglass, and when the last grain of sand in the hourglass ran out, he beat the drum on the side with a "bang".

"Play, let's go!"
