Shangguan Hong drank too much wine, and when he returned home, he swayed and fell on the kang.

Xiao Feng complained: "Master, no matter how happy you are, you should also take care of your body." ”

Shangguan Hong raised his arm and gestured twice in the air, burping, "You, you know what?" Yu Shizi said today that he was going to the emperor to ask for marriage, and to give - marriage - that is a great grace that others can't ask for......"

Xiao Feng's face was sneering, "Really? Isn't it perfunctory to your drunken words? ”

Who knew that she had just asked, but Shangguan Hong fell asleep before she could answer. Xiao Feng glanced at Shangguan Hong, didn't bother to take care of him, and stretched out his hand to beckon the maid to come up and serve.

The next day, Shangguan Hong got up early and went to the yamen refreshed.

Xiao Feng went to the old lady's house to ask for merit, and told the old lady what Shangguan Hong said last night.

The old lady came back lightly, "It's just a drunken talk after Fengzhi, don't talk nonsense about this boundless thing." ”

"I swore by what the master said, and I thought that you hurt the third girl, so I ......"

"Okay, it's not too late to talk about it when it's done, and if it gets out, it won't work out, so people will laugh at us plainly. I'm tired, you can go and get busy. ”

The old lady sent Xiao Feng away, and Mama Zhu persuaded on the side: "Maybe it's really something." ”

The old lady was worried: "Hey, it's always Grandpa Guo who didn't nod, even if this thing can be done, Qingdai may not have a good time marrying in the past." Besides, where is the marriage decree so good? The Queen Mother made it clear that she was unwilling. At the beginning, I was worried about the Fang family, so I made this decision, but I didn't expect Fengzhi to take it seriously. Now it seems that Yu Shizi is not insincere, but no one knows what the girl is thinking. Don't tell Qing Dai in advance, it's good. can't make her face gloomy. This time twice ...... The child tossed enough, just hoping that she could really find someone to love her in the future. ”

The east chamber of the Spring Courtyard.

Qing Dai sat at her desk. Spread out the book, and in the middle of it was a white camellia that had turned into dried flowers.

Seeing Qingdai in a daze, Peach Blossom asked with a smile: "Girl, you haven't turned a page of the book for a long time, do you have something on your mind?" ”

Qing Dai quickly turned two pages, turned the camellia over, and pretended to look at the page, "No, it's just relaxed all of a sudden, but I don't know what to do." ”

Zhu Yun walked in from the outside. He took a duster and went out to dust off his clothes before re-entering the house.

"Girl, the slave maid just passed by the back garden and looked for two more camellia flowers for you, and found that the camellia was defeated, where did you pick the one last time?"

Qing Dai has a weak heart. I didn't expect a flower to be left behind for a few days. said nonsense: "I couldn't sleep and walked around the yard for a while, and what I saw in the corner of the wall, maybe it was the girl who fell." ”

Between words. Apricot Blossom suddenly came in with a basket, and the basket was full of white camellias.

Zhu Yun was surprised: "Hey, apricot blossoms, I just picked them all, where did you get them?" ”

Xinghua winked at Qing Dai, and then explained to Zhu Yun, "I'm back from home. At the gate of the house, I met a young man who sold flowers and said that he had not opened all morning. Please ask me a favor. I thought that the girl liked white camellias, and the camellia was immediately thanked for this season, so I spent money to buy them back. ”

"Okay, let's go our own way, don't disturb the girl's reading." Peach Blossom drove Zhuyun out very interestingly.

Xinghua held the flower basket and put it in front of Qingdai, "Girl, this is what Deputy Chen brought back to the slave maid, and said that it was given to the girl by General Hua Shao." ”

Qing Dai looked at the basket full of white camellia like clouds and snow, remembered the hug that night, and her heartstrings couldn't help but tremble.

Xinghua looked at Qing Dai in a daze, smiled ambiguously, and asked in a low voice, "Girl, did the Ninth Young Master come that night?" ”

Qing Dai glared at Peach Blossom, "Eventful." Do you want to make your girl's reputation ruined before you are happy? "Hua Shaoyan has found the apricot blossom head, and the events of that night have long been hidden.

"When the slave didn't say anything." Xinghua glanced at the peach blossom who was snickering next to her, the two looked at each other and smiled, Xinghua said again, "The slave forgot, the ninth young master also asked me to bring two sentences, saying that what he promised you has been done, in case one day you do something that makes you unhappy, I hope you don't get angry with him for the sake of this flower." ”

Qing Dai didn't care about what Xinghua said at all, she looked at the basket of white camellia flowers happily, and tapped those soft white and delicate petals with her fingertips, and suddenly a subtle and sweet feeling suddenly appeared in her heart, and suddenly that little doubt came up again.

However, looking at those delicate flowers, she still secretly said in her heart, thank you!

……

Yu Zidu looked at the scroll on the table, reached out and pressed his temple, and waved his hand impatiently, "Mo Zhe, take these things and burn them, don't put them in front of me." ”

"This is the explanation of Grandpa Guo, so that you must pass the purpose one by one." Mo Zhe was a little embarrassed, although he was Yu Zidu's personal scholar, but the biggest in this mansion was Cheng Guogong, and the two masters were not disobedient.

Yu Zidu put down his hand and glanced at the scroll, "Find a place to put it away first." ”

Mo Zhe cleaned up, and asked while collecting it: "Shizi, Lord Shangguan has been reinstated, I see that you should hurry into the palace to ask for your will, otherwise the old prince will definitely not give up." ”

"I didn't know, I just wanted to find the right opportunity. A few days ago, the emperor was very angry because the Tusi of southern Yunnan had privately purchased weapons from the country of Fan, and it was inappropriate to mention this matter at that time. Two days later is the Dragon Boat Festival, and the emperor wants to watch the dragon boat race. While the emperor is happy to mention it, I think it will be smoother. ”

Thinking of this, Yuzi unconsciously clenched his hands, his eyes flashed with determination, and he was no longer so irritable.

And in the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion, which is a few streets away from the city, Hua Shaoyan also made his own calculations.

Hua Shaoyan instructed Chen Xuandao: "The Dragon Boat Festival is all arranged, after all, it is outside the palace, don't make any mistakes." ”

Chen Xuan sighed, "We are working hard." The emperor wants to be happy with the people, and the most frightened and afraid of hardships and burdens are those of us who are guards. ”

"Don't worry, the errand is done, and the reward will not be less." Hua Shaoyan said, and thought of something else, "These days." What are the movements of the Guogong Mansion and the Shangguan Mansion? ”

Chen Xuan shook his head, "There is no big movement. It was the Queen Mother who asked the painters in the palace gallery to paint a lot of beautiful pictures, and asked the grandfather to bring them back to the house, it seems that she was going to choose Mrs. Shizi. ”

"Although Yu Zidu once said that his marriage would require the consent of the grandfather of the country, it is not ruled out that he will directly ask for the decree without telling the old father-in-law." Hua Shaoyan thought for a while, "All the ministers are here during the Dragon Boat Festival, and it is a good opportunity to catch up with the emperor and be happy." ”

Thinking of the fragrant and soft body of the girl in his arms that night, Hua Shaoyan said in a low voice: "Qingdai, it seems." There's no time to wait for you to nod your head......"

On the fifth day of the Dragon Boat Festival in the first month of May, a row of mountain sheds was erected on the east bank of the Yudai River, and the weeping willows on the bank were decorated with ribbons, and the five-color flags on both sides of the river were displayed. Crowds. It's not lively.

The largest mountain shed in the middle of the east bank is planted with nine dragon flags on both sides, and hundreds of imperial guards are guarding the surroundings, and the Nine Dragons throne in the middle is shining with brilliant golden light. It shows the supremacy of those who attend the dragon boat race today. There are more than a dozen mountain sheds on both sides, two of which are covered with light veils in advance, and at a glance it is known that they are exclusively for the use of palace dependents and female dependents of various provinces.

After a while, the trumpet sounded, the drums sounded in unison, and the Dahua Emperor came in person.

I don't know who took the lead after shouting. There was a sound of kneeling on both sides of the Yudai River, and the people watching the ceremony responded in unison. For a while, the voices of people came and went, and everywhere was the sound of the mountains calling "long live", stretching for several miles, how loud.

The emperor sat on the throne, watching the scene of everyone surrendering and shouting in unison, his gloomy face for many days finally eased, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "Flat!" ”

"Long live thanks!"

Next, Hua Shaoyan and Yu Zi both sat down with the ministers. The two of them saw the change in the emperor's face, and a look of understanding flashed in their eyes at the same time.

Once everyone is seated, the prepared water show begins.

The ceremonial officer came to ask, "Your Majesty, everything is ready. ”

The emperor looked at the nine dragon boats on the Yudai River with interest, and after asking where each team came from one by one, he nodded and said, "Start the race." ”

Outside the mountain shed, there was a bang, and the nine dragon boats started in unison, and the race officially began. On both sides of the river, only the horns of the dragon boat runners can be heard, and everyone is speculating who will come out on top.

Although Yu Zidu and Hua Shaoyan were talking to each other in a low voice, their eyes swept over the emperor from time to time, observing the changes in the emperor's face. Occasionally, they glanced at each other with a clear heart, and they were all staggered with lightning and flint, as if they had seen each other's thoughts, and no one was willing to back down and give in.

It wasn't until the hostess announced the result that the two men withdrew their gazes.

The dragon boat race is very fast, and it takes only about three moments before the winner is decided. Xu is the competition was intense, the process was fierce and exciting, and the emperor personally ordered the winning team to reward one hundred taels of gold.

After the dragon boat race, there is a celebratory music and dance performance. A huge painting boat sailed to the opposite side of the emperor's mountain shed, and after the court musicians played nine songs on the painting boat, there was also court music and dance. When the big painting boat retreats, then there are performances for the Dragon Boat Festival from all over the country, and all the people are performing on the painting boat, and one boat is followed by another.

"Today's show is all on the water, and the Ministry of Rites has arranged it well this time." The emperor's dragon heart was happy, and he praised it.

However, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu got up and thanked him, and said: "Although this show has been accepted by the Ministry of Etiquette, the idea of using the boat as a stage was mentioned by the prince of Chengguo to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother told Weichen again, so it was prepared." ”

The emperor's gaze turned to Yu Zidu, who was sitting down, "Oh? It's Ryuyou's idea. Not bad! ”

Yuzi got up and thanked him, "Longyou doesn't dare to take credit!" This is the emperor's grace and greatness, and the people are abundant, so that all parts of the country can enter and present such exquisite programs, and the form of the boat is just a foil. ”

"Haha!" The Emperor laughed loudly, "Well, you don't have to be humble with me, since you participated, you should also be rewarded." ”
