Chapter 363: Watching the Dragon Boat Race

Xiao Yulin thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Hmm! That's okay too! It's just that building a house is a bit of a hassle. However, it is not impossible, there is no better way than this. It is not appropriate to break ground at this time, and after Zhang Ruliu's matter is done, let's carry out this matter! ”

Zhong Yuqi nodded and said, "That's what I mean!" ”

Chunhua touched Qiu Shi and said, "Don't thank the prince and princess yet!" ”

Qiu Shi hurriedly bowed to Xiao Yulin and Zhong Yuqi and said, "The slave thanked the prince!" Thank you, Princess! ”

Xiao Yulin said with a smile: "Your princess is kind to you, you have to remember it!" In the future, you will serve the princess and protect the princess. If the princess encounters any trouble and it is difficult to come forward, you will come forward for the princess. If anything happens, the king will decide for you. ”

There was something in Xiao Yulin's words, and everyone in the room understood it.

"Yes!" Chunhua and Qiushi responded in unison.

Xiao Yulin stroked his forehead again and said, "Oops! This king was drunk last night, and now he is still a little dizzy, so this king went back to the main courtyard to rest first! ”

As he spoke, Xiao Yulin stretched out an arm.

Ma Liu understood and hurriedly stepped forward to support Xiao Yulin.

Zhong Yuqi said: "Qiu Shi, you and Ma Liu help the prince back to the main courtyard. ”

Qiu Shi responded: "Yes! ”

Xiao Yulin stood up, flicked his sleeves, and said, "No need! This king can still go! ”

Zhong Yuqi said: "Then, Qiu Shi, you send the prince for me!" ”

"Yes!"

Qiu Shi followed behind Xiao Yulin and sent Xiao Yulin out of the courtyard.

When Qiu Shi returned to the house, he couldn't help laughing again and said, "Princess, you see that the prince is scared!" The prince didn't dare to go back to the house at night, and now he is looking for a reason to please the princess, and he doesn't dare to stay in front of the princess longer! It can be seen that in the heart of the prince, there is really only the princess! ”

Zhong Yuqi smiled, thinking of Xiao Yulin's simple appearance, Zhong Yuqi suddenly felt that Xiao Yulin was really a good husband.

In the next two days, Zhong Yuqi watched Wu Yue'er sing and dance in the courtyard, and by the way, she was learning from her and teaching her some movements. After all, Zhong Yuqi's original body is very talented in singing and dancing.

On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, Chunhua and Qiushi got up early, and then served Zhong Yuqi to change clothes and wash up for breakfast.

In the past two days, Xiao Yulin went out early and returned late, and he didn't know what he was doing. After he returned home, it was late at night, and he slept in the main courtyard on the grounds of not disturbing Zhong Yuqi's rest.

Zhong Yuqi told the people in the north courtyard to get ready, and then happily left the north courtyard and went to the main courtyard.

Wu Yue'er stayed in the north courtyard on the grounds that she was unwell. It was also because she didn't want to show her face too much outside, and there were many dignitaries and nobles who had seen her in Huancai Pavilion at that time, and she was afraid of being recognized.

Qiu Shi said: "Today, the prince invited the princess to watch the dragon boat race, why didn't the prince come to the north courtyard in the morning?" ”

Chunhua also said suspiciously: "Yes! The slave and maid are also wondering! ”

Zhong Yuqi said: "It's still early, Xu is the prince still has some things to deal with!" ”

Qiu Shi said: "What can the prince do? Besides, it's not too early now, presumably, the prince has already gotten up, right? Don't you have time to come to the North Courtyard? There's no news from the main courtyard. ”

Everyone came to the main courtyard, and the little maid guarding the courtyard door told Zhong Yuqi that Xiao Yulin was not in the courtyard.

Zhong Yuqi asked, "When did the prince go out?" ”

The little servant replied: "The genius has just dawned, and the prince has gone out." said yes, the prince went to the Sun Moon Lake outside the north of the city. ”

Qiu Shi said: "Don't talk nonsense! The prince invited the princess to watch the dragon boat race, but the princess hasn't gone yet, why did the princess go by himself? ”

The little girl said: "Sister Qiushi, the little one doesn't dare to lie to you, let alone the princess!" ”

Zhong Yuqi said: "Xu Yes, what arrangements does the prince have to go over there!" Now that the prince has passed, let's go now! ”

Qiu Shi was still dissatisfied with Xiao Yulin's own going to Sun Moon Lake first, but he didn't dare to say anything.

The little servant said again: "Princess Qiyu, the prince left a message before, saying that the carriage has been prepared at the gate of the mansion, and the princess can go directly to the gate." ”

Zhong Yuqi only said lightly: "Got it!" ”

Then, Zhong Yuqi led everyone to the gate.

The little guy looked at the backs of everyone leaving, his eyes were not envious, and he said to the other guy: "The people in the north courtyard are really blessed!" In other words, the princess and the prince got married, why didn't they live in the main courtyard? In this way, we will also enjoy some benefits! ”

Another guy said: "Even so, the princess usually doesn't give us any less benefits!" If the princess lives in the main courtyard, what about those people in the north courtyard? ”

The little guy nodded and said, "Oh too!" ”

Zhong Yuqi and the others went to the gate, only to see a carriage parked next to the gate, and Jin Tiannan and a few other guards were waiting aside.

Zhong Yuqi got into the carriage and asked Chunhua and Qiushi to sit with her. Originally, Zhong Yuqi also called Yu Huizhi, but Yu Huizhi refused Zhong Yuqi on the grounds that the carriage was not spacious enough.

The coachman drove the carriage around the palace to the north.

The palace sits on the north and faces south, and there are no houses in the city north of the palace, only two roads leading to the north gate.

The terrain from the north gate to the Sun Moon Lake is slightly flatter, and the higher you go to the Sun Moon Lake, the higher the terrain is, and the mountains gradually appear. The water of Sun Moon Lake is the main source of water for the moat.

When the carriage arrived at the periphery of Riyue Lake, it was no longer possible to continue to go forward, so Zhong Yuqi got out of the carriage.

I saw that one side of the huge Sun Moon Lake was surrounded by people, and on the other side was a high mountain, and I couldn't see how many people there were. There are also many horse-drawn carriages parked in the open space here, all of which are prominent families who have come to watch the dragon boat race.

At this time, a dozen dragon boats were already ready on the western shore, and the rowers were waiting on the shore.

Qiu Shi also wanted to look for the people of Rui Wangfu, and at this time, someone walked towards them with a shoulder sedan chair. Jin Tiannan knew the person who came, and he was a guard of the Rui Wangfu.

The guard said to Zhong Yuqi: "Princess Qiqi, the prince has been waiting for a long time, please let the princess go with her subordinates." ”

Subsequently, the guards asked Zhong Yuqi to get into the sedan chair, and then carried Zhong Yuqi around Sun Moon Lake and walked to the opposite mountain.

Zhong Yuqi asked, "Do you want to go far?" ”

The guard replied: "The prince chose the viewing platform on the mountain, where you can see more clearly, and you will probably walk like a stick of incense." ”

Zhong Yuqi said: "When did the prince get here?" ”

The guard replied: "The prince left the mansion at three o'clock, and it was not yet an hour to get here." There are many people who come to watch the dragon boat race today, and it is inevitable that there are dignitaries. The prince came over first to occupy the place, and exchanged a few words with those people, so he couldn't go back to the house to pick up the princess. ”
