Anping told me that there are five major festivals in Nanzhan, the Hairpin Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chinese New Year's Eve, and the Shangyuan Festival, all of which are important festivals at the top.

The Dragon Boat Festival is also called the May Festival in Nanzhan, and the "Duanyang Gong" in the palace is supplied from all over the country, and dozens of carriages are filled every year.

The carriage was full of gifts, traveled through the Xuanwu Gate, bypassed the Wusheng Street, and was transported to the treasury through the long palace road.

Last night, when seven or eight small yellow doors came to Zhanhua Palace with large and small trays, I greeted them very warmly, and I thought about what kind of treasure this would be. I patiently received the order, and when the others were gone, I couldn't wait to open the tray covered by the red cloth.

After seeing things, I couldn't help but be disappointed.

I thought it could be some gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin, but I didn't expect it to be these ordinary objects. The plate is all-encompassing, including yarn, kudzu, fans, incense cakes, sachets, sachets, gong pei, as well as purple gold ingots, toad crisp ingots, salt water lozenges and other summer medicines.

I picked up a sachet and sniffed it, a pungent smell of herbs hit my face, I quickly put it down, stretched out a folding fan, shook it twice and sighed, "I'd rather eat it all."

The lychees, bayberry, water chestnuts from Ganzhou, melons and longans from Tongmi, and preserved fish and roast goose from Pozhen are all food, and I feel drooling just thinking about them.

Hua Fu chuckled, and told me while packing up the reward: "Although these are not treasures, they are all fine and precious good objects. And it is a gift from His Majesty, it is the emperor's grace, and the princess must not talk nonsense, especially outside. ”

I nodded obediently and continued to fan.

Watching Hua Fu be busy for the festival, I suddenly remembered the Yimu Festival in Bukchi, which was about this time.

In the middle of May, when the sheep, cows, horses and camels on the grassland have just finished receiving the spring lambs, the herdsmen use knives to pluck out the left ear of the mother lamb and put it back into the large herd, brand the foals that have been raised for two years, and boil the milk into milk tofu.

This year, it is the second Dragon Boat Festival after I came to Nanzhan, and Nandi set the celebration location in the palace of Qionglin Yuan.

In fact, Nanzhan's Dragon Boat Festival is also quite fun, you can watch dragon boats, eat zongzi, and have beautiful colorful beads to wear, but because there are too many etiquette rules to follow, I don't think it's so interesting. At least in Beiqiu, I can live more comfortably and follow fewer rules.

The next morning, Hua Fu had already taken care of everything for me, so I didn't have much to worry about, so I was able to travel light.

After arriving at Qionglin Garden, I greeted Anping and went straight to find Yu Gui.

I thought Yunkang and Ankang would also come, but after looking for a long time, I didn't see them.

When I found Yu Gui on the edge of Yu Chi, she was playing with Zhao Qingyu and Sheng Yunjiang.

I happily lifted the hem of my skirt and ran towards her, but there was water on the bluestone slab, and I was unsteady under my feet, and I fell to the ground.

"Oh my gosh." I lay on the ground, grinning in pain.

Even if it hurts, the key is that he fell at the feet of Tao Yu'er, and when Duobu saw this, he hurriedly came up to help me.

It's a shame, it's a shame~

Tao Yu'er laughed out loud without concealment, and I was ashamed and annoyed, and I looked up and glared at her fiercely.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, how can you make such a big gift, you are trying to torture me."

Hmph, of course it bothered you.

She smiled and reached out to help me, and I didn't look at her, and pulled me up by Duobu.

I clapped my hands casually, still chic.

I bypassed the pottery and walked directly to Yugui. Sheng Yunjiang was the first to see me, and I made a silent gesture to her, and she nodded knowingly. I quietly walked over, and when Yu Gui was not paying attention, I slapped her on the back, and Yu Gui was so frightened that he screamed and shook off the arrow in his hand.

When I looked back, I saw that it was me, and my smile was very bright.

She made a gesture to hit me: "Okay, you, you dare to scare me."

Fortunately, I was quick enough to dodge and let her pounce in the air.

I smiled and said, "Yun Xiaowu and An Kang, why didn't I see them."

Yu Gui* replied to me: "They can't come."

The words fell and threw an arrow casually, but it didn't go into the iron kettle.

I asked, "Why can't you come?" There are so many female dependents who came today, and all the family members of officials above the fifth grade are eligible to participate, why don't you see the people of the Ouyang family.

Yu Gui's face was embarrassed, and I wanted to stop talking, as if I understood something.

Tao Yu'er followed with a curling voice, took the arrow in Sheng Yunjiang's hand, raised his hand and threw it, hitting the mouth of the pot.

Xiao Huangmen reported loudly: "Enter six chips!"

Tao Yu'er's eyebrows and eyes became more and more proud, and the palace hosta on her head looked so enchanting under the sun. She leaned very close to me, and suddenly showed her teeth, I didn't ask her, but she was about to speak: "The princess is looking for Yunkang and Ankang?" Don't look for them, they're not coming. I heard that An Kang was sick and should not enter the palace. And Yunkang's little maid is not qualified to participate in such a palace banquet. ”

I gave her a blank look, didn't say anything, just looked back at her, and she nodded to me.

I knew I wouldn't bring it up again.

Sheng Yun Jiang opened his mouth solemnly, looked at the hairpin on my bun and said, "This wormwood hairpin is really ingenious, it is very fresh and elegant, and the princess made it herself?"

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, all female dependents wear five poisonous hairpins, wormwood hairpins, or tiger hairpins made of silk cloth.

I touched the hairpin on my bun and replied politely, "No, it was given to me by Yunkang last night."

Although the appearance of this hairpin is not very good-looking, it is better because of the fresh taste, and it is woven from fresh wormwood leaves. Yunkang said that wormwood hairpins can ward off evil spirits and insects, and bring good luck, so I wore them with great interest. When Anping saw it, he also said that Yunkang did it exquisitely and elegantly, and praised her.

Yu Gui pulled off the tiger hairpin on his head and hurriedly said, "I also have one, which was also given by Yunkang." The two of us looked at each other and smiled, each showing off each other's hairpins, and the laughter was so loud that it could not fit in a garden.

This pottery wool, there is still no ivory spit out: "Broken wood and thorn hairpin, I am embarrassed to give it away."

Naturally, I didn't pay attention to her, and only cared about talking to Yu Gui, but Tao Xu'er said some sour things in a weird way, proudly showing off to others what kind of golden hosta Tao Guifei rewarded. She showed off and showed off, and she didn't forget to ridicule others: "Presumably the princess has received a lot of rewards from His Majesty, why don't you see the princess wearing it, and she still wears such an ugly and cheap hairpin." If it is spread out, it will be used by people with good intentions, and I think that the princess will be treated poorly in our Nanzhan area. ”

I knew she wasn't interested in me, but at Yoon-kang, but I was so upset to hear it.

I hooked the corners of my mouth, and also learned from her style, and raised my voice to Gui to speak: "People who are naturally beautiful, even cloth and thorn hairpins are also looked at, unlike some clumsy and ugly people, even if they wear golden steps, they look like no salt."

Tao Yu'er was deflated, and her face changed slightly. Still trying to compose himself.

Yu Gui Budao: "I still like to show off, and I don't know where I got the confidence." Have you ever seen a crow boasting of beautiful feathers in front of a phoenix, it's really sad and ridiculous. ”

Everyone hid their faces and chuckled, and Tao Xu'er waved his sleeves and left angrily. Yu Gui muttered softly: "Who knows if she went to Tao Guifei to complain again, this Tao Gui'er, I really hate her from the bottom of my heart."

Seeing her walk away, I suddenly felt in a better mood and played games with Yu Gui and them.

Zhao Qingyu is competing with me again, and I don't know if it was that polo game that provoked her. Since then, every time she sees me, although she has a big smile on her face, I don't feel the slightest kindness.

She took the arrow, threw it lightly, and put it into the heart of the pot, and the little yellow door who sang the number said loudly: "Ten chips."

I swallowed, aimed at the spout of the pot and threw it lightly, well, good, missed!

Pitching a pot may seem simple, but it's not. It is much more difficult to be quiet and accurate than to play polo on horseback. After playing for more than half an hour, I lost Zhao Qingyu several times. I was very unconvinced, but I also had to admit that I was indeed inferior to Zhao Qingyu in the pot throwing game. I also chose the right target and stood firm, but I didn't score several times in a row, but she didn't miss the arrow, and she always entered.

When he saw that I had lost miserably, instead of cheering me on, he laughed at me as a soldier who only knew how to use brute force.

When I lost the fifth game, Mama Wu and Concubine Tao Gongling, who were next to Anping, came to look for someone and told us that it was time to get down to business, so I had to put down the two remaining arrows in my hand.

Ben also thought about accumulating experience and turning defeat into victory. It seems that there is no chance.

Zhao Qingyu's watery apricot eyes stared at me, and he smiled before speaking: "It seems that the princess is still good at playing polo, after all, you can't grab the pot."

Tsk, this man really holds a grudge.

Obviously, you bullied Yunkang first, but it became mine. I grinned at her, didn't talk to her, and happily followed Yu Gui's footsteps.

The installation in Qionglin Garden is new, especially the decoration of Chu Huan Hall is very dazzling. The palace ladies tied the colored flags and flowers on the pavilion, and the old trees in front of the hall were also hung with colorful sachets.

On the day of Duanyang, there will always be a "zongzi banquet" in the palace, and almost all the food eaten a day is zongzi.

Tao Guifei led the harem concubines and the nobles of the clan to Lile Pavilion, and made the five poisonous purses and the zongzi to eat today.

I can't make a delicate purse, so I go to make zongzi with Yu Hui, this job does not need to be bothered, the process does not seem so tedious, I should be able to do it.

Yu Gui grabbed the rice and pinched it in the palm of his hand, with a bitter and bitter face, and broke his thoughts while wrapping it. I put my hand in the wet rice and had a lot of fun.

What's so difficult about this bag of zongzi, isn't it just to take a thin palm leaf and wrap it tightly around a lump of leaves wrapped in glutinous rice. I study seriously and make zongzi in a down-to-earth manner, and with my experience and superior wisdom in tying people for a long time, I will be able to learn it quickly.

It's just that I seem to underestimate the difficulty of this work. Tried and failed, failed again and again, and didn't succeed in wrapping up a single one for a long time, even the dumplings made by Yu Gui, an absent-minded guy, are also better than mine.
