Chapter 67: Grab the Throne
"Yes." The waiter answered and stepped back.
"Wait." Concubine Jiang Defei, who was next to her, put down the clairvoyance she was playing with in her hand and turned her head to look at the emperor: "Your Majesty, the deck on the first floor is at both ends, and you can see it from the outside." It's not good for the palace concubine to go out and show her face. ”
"What do you mean?" Emperor Joan of Arc turned his head to look at Concubine Jiang De.
Among the concubines, except for Concubine Mei Shu, his favorite is this loose and free Concubine Jiang De. I don't like to be jealous, and I don't like to be in the limelight. It's just that he's a little stubborn.
So she asked her to sit by the window. It's just a matter of His Majesty's words. Concubine Jiang De said: "The concubine thinks she has a good temperament. ”
"That's because you haven't seen her yet." Emperor Joan of Arc shook his head helplessly. Turning his head to Li Jianzhi, he said, "Then go find a window for her to sit by." ”
"Yes, everybody." Li Jianzhi responded and walked out of the boat.
Liuji and Yuanli saw Li Jianzhi walking down, and after being startled, they hurriedly saluted: "Aya." ”
"Wen Cairen." Li Jianzhi nodded at Wen Qingwu.
Wen Qingwu saluted Li Jianzhi and said in a gentle tone: "There is a father-in-law." ”
"Only then do you know that the miscellaneous family is here to help you, not to punish you?" Li Jianzhi looked at Wen Qingwu and smiled.
"If you punish me, it won't be my father-in-law who comes." Wen Qingwu got up and stepped aside half a step. Li Jianzhi walked into the boat.
In the boat on the first floor, there are either official ladies and nobles who often walk around the palace, or people from the harem. Where would you not recognize Li Jianzhi, the chief eunuch of Zichen Palace.
Seeing that the chief eunuch who was serving the emperor at this moment came in, most of them were carrying the emperor's intentions, and everyone inside stood up and saluted.
Li Jianzhi didn't say much, and glanced at the boat.
"Father-in-law, that place." Wen Qingwu pointed to the position that he had been optimistic about earlier.
Li Jianzhi looked over and nodded, "That's where it is." ”
As he spoke, he walked over with Wen Qingwu.
Because they all got up, the seats were empty. Li Jianzhi walked to that position and shook the dust in the crook of his arm: "The emperor gave Wen Cairen a seat, and Wen Cairen will sit here." ”
"Thank you for your grace." Wen Qingwu saluted, walked to the position with a smile, and sat down with peace of mind.
"Alright, all of you, find a seat and sit down. As soon as I arrived, the drums began to beat. After Li Jianzhi finished speaking to the girls in the boat, he turned around and left with a smile.
Looking out of the window, the river is slow and calm. Colorful flags are erected beside the river, and a soldier stands under it, holding a flagpole. Lined up until a hundred feet away.
Behind him are rows of drumming. At the end of this end of the drum is an officer and soldier in a vigorous uniform, with bare arms and thighs, holding a horn in one hand and the other.
Further back, there was a Beiya forbidden army, as well as soldiers and sergeants stationed in the capital.
Because there are trees and mountains on both sides, even if it is a royal race, it is impossible to set up a platform.
Today, there are also magnificent racing competitions among the people, including outstanding men from official families, strong young people from the people, or soldiers from the government.
In short, every city has a race today.
Although it can't be seen from the stands like the folks, it finally occupies a good position near the window. Even if you can't see it from above, it's a different taste.
Wen Qingwu looked at the river outside the window and the people pushing huge dragon boats by the river.
There are a total of four boats, one apricot yellow, one Xuanse, one big Zhu, and one big purple. All are the color of the Son of Heaven.
At this time, the slender man on the shore was shouting and pulling the boat into the water.
In the boat, the women looked for a seat again, only a girl who had sat in the window position before, watched Wen Qingwu twist her handkerchief, 'hum', and turned to find another seat.
Only three or four paces away, a girl facing the window waved at her.
The girl knew that it was Luo Shanling Wang Renyou's daughter-in-law, Wang Xueyi. After looking left and right, he walked over.
"Fang Niang, please take a seat." Wang Xueyi was only about eleven or twelve years old, and compared herself with what she had done about the empty case.
Fang Fengzhu saluted, and then sat down on the opposite case. opened his mouth, wanting to thank him, but saw that Wang Xueyi had already turned her head and was arrogant.
Fang Fengzhu is the second daughter of Xuanling of Liang Guogongfang, and she is also a beautiful girl, and she will not be disliked if she invites herself to come over and sit. So he smiled and turned his head away from saying anything more.
The sound outside is getting noisier and louder, and the four dragon boats have been launched one after another!
Many men came out of the strait, dressed in short brown and wearing broadband bands. The clothes are worn in four colors: apricot yellow, dark color, large vermilion, and large purple.
The four-colored clothes are on the dragon boat of the corresponding color, and everything is ready.
Wen Qingwu sat upright, clutching the placket in front of her hips.
In her last life, she was only taken by her grandmother to watch a few folk dragon boat races when she was very young. Even if there are only a few boats that are not gorgeous, the river is full of people. Shout and cheer for them.
Grandmother said that the Dragon Boat Festival is the lifelight of the land of China. If this light is bright, China will be prosperous, and if this light is weak, China will be weak.
When I grew up, I never saw a dragon boat race again. The mountains and rivers are broken and the wind is fluttering, and it has not been held for many years. In the following years, on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, there was only "racing to cross the deep sorrow and thousands of years of injustice, and the loyal soul can be returned once it is gone." The country is dead and dying, and only the world is left behind. There is no longer "cloud flag hunting over the green man, thunder drum noisy Yin Biliu." "The sight is magnificent. (Note 2)
Now, this lamp in front of me, no, this fire, is blazing in the sky.
"How many moments are left?" Wen Qingwu asked.
Seeing Wen Qingwu's excitement, Liuji glanced at the leaky pot placed in the boat: "Master, there is less than half a moment." ”
Wen Qingwu pursed her lips and bent her eyes.
There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Wen Qingwu didn't look back. I only heard someone behind me: "Wen Cairen, the crown princess, please go up and talk about it." ”
Yesterday's chess game is not finished yet.
Wen Qingwu turned his head and glanced at the maid who had been transmitted.
"Not available." She said. After speaking, he turned his head and continued to look out the window.
In order to get close to Su Jinli before, she used means. But now that she knows that she is a chess addict, and her chess skills are higher than her. For a person who is obsessed with chess but has extremely high chess skills, when he meets a person whose chess skills are better than his own, he will not let go easily no matter what.
After playing chess yesterday, Wen Qingwu knew that there was no need to deliberately approach Su Jinli in the future. In order to play chess, she will do everything possible to come to herself.
The maid froze in place, a little incredulous: "Wen Cairen? "It's just a small talent in the deep palace, and he directly rejected the crown princess of the East Palace! How ignorant is this?!
Wen Qingwu looked out the window carefully, trying not to miss every place.
Ruyoshi was on the side, looking at his nose and his nose was concerned. A look of indifference. It seems that it is normal for his master to reject the crown princess.
