Chapter 57 The Dragon Boat Festival Elects Concubines

Nangong Yue and the others returned to the house, it was already late when the two of them walked in, and Xiao Feng and Mo Xiao hurriedly ran over

"Lord, princess, you are back," Mo Xiao ran to him and shouted.

"What's the matter, something happened in the house?" Nangong Yue asked with a puzzled expression.

"Ahem, that princess's subordinate told you something" Mo Xiao stared at them and gritted his teeth and wanted to say something.

Ling Bingche saw that he hadn't said anything for a long time, so he couldn't bear to go up, slapped him impatiently and said, "This king doesn't have the patience to wait for you, hurry up"

Xiao Feng couldn't wait for Mo Xiao, stepped forward and saluted and said, "That Steward Lin, who was supposed to boil medicine for the prince himself today, accidentally blew up the ......, and the east wing where you bathed accidentally collapsed, princess......"

Nangong Yue's eyes widened when she listened, what did she hear correctly, the bathing place exploded! She was a little shy, that is, if she took a bath in the future, she would go to the west wing, could it be arranged by Ling Bingche, Nangong Yue was right, it was indeed Ling Bingche who wrote a letter in the morning and asked Mo Xiao to do it, because he felt that the east side was an eyesore, and he wanted to share a bath room with Yue'er.

"Okay, this king knows, then in the future, Yue'er and this king can bathe in the west wing, as for the east, let's get a set of wings for you to live in" After Ling Bingche finished speaking, he picked up Nangong Yue and went to the west wing to bathe together.

Mo Xiao watched them leave their backs and gave a thumbs up, the prince of their family is really black enough, and his injuries should be healed.

West Wing

"Husband, you are outside the door, you are not allowed to peek!" Nangong Yue pointed at him and said.

"You and I are husband and wife, and besides, the king has never seen that part of Yue'er's body" After speaking, Ling Bingche carried him in and bathed together.

After a while, there was a sound of frolicking inside, and it took them two hours before they came out of it, Nangong Yue's face was as red as a peach, and she was as shy as a rabbit and let Ling Bingche carry her back to the room.

The breeze blows the flowers outside, the fragrance of the flowers wafts into the room, the turquoise green bamboo is crumbling in the wind, since ancient times, people have loved bamboo, and the bamboo has been endowed with elegance, purity, modesty, and moderation, and has made Xiao for those people, blowing and moving, a dragon roar.

, The windowsill is the gardenia she placed a few days ago, some petals are scattered on the ground, the arrival of the Dragon Boat Festival early in the morning Nangong Yue and Ling Bingche got up, the outside is lively and lively, some people set off firecrackers, some people play drums, everyone is happy for today.

"Princess, princess, breakfast is ready" Cui Ping knocked on the door and shouted.

"Okay, I know" Nangong Yue stood up a little weakly, because she slept too late yesterday, she was not in a very good state today, Ling Bingche also stood up, and after dressing up, she cleaned her hands and went to eat together.

"Lord Wang, princess, Chu Shizi and Miss Ji are here, just waiting in the side hall," the old housekeeper said with a smile on his face.

These two people came early enough, thinking of this, Nangong Yue simply stopped eating, got up and went to the side hall, Ling Bingche wanted to call her and wait, but before the words were spoken, the person was gone, and he smiled helplessly.

Partial hall

"Didn't you just bump into my fierce female devil yesterday, so coincidentally we met again, why are you here for what?" Chu Yuanqing glanced at Ji Xiangning and said.

"Miss Ben, I naturally came here to find the princess, could it be that I am looking for you bastard" Ji Xiangning glared at him with disdain.

Isn't it yesterday that she went to the street to buy rouge, just when he was drinking tea in the shop opposite, because she was picking rouge gouache, after picking, she couldn't help but try it, on the way she didn't notice the oncoming Chu Yuanqing, and then she hit him straight up, she also apologized at that time, but he still didn't insist on asking her to pay for a set of clothes, the reason was that he had a habit of cleanliness, and he would pay for it, he even stopped him from leaving, it was almost late, she beat him up, so she went back, but she was still scolded by her mother, Oops, she's so angry.

"Hey, the fierce female devil, yesterday you beat this world, if it weren't for the Dragon Boat Festival today, I would have to settle accounts with you!" Chu Yuanqing raised his eyebrows, looked at her with a look of undergrowth, and said.

"Damn Dengzi, I'm not done with you!" Ji Xiangning couldn't take care of everyone's beautiful appearance anymore, I saw that when she lifted her skirt and wanted to kick it hard, but her feet slipped and the whole person pounced on Chu Yuanqing, and the two of them fell to the ground like this, the tip of their nose touched the tip of their nose and almost kissed together, the atmosphere was extremely embarrassing, and Ji Xiangning immediately blushed.

At this moment, Nangong Yue happened to come over and saw this scene...... This...... Chu Yuanqing is a good boy! When did you hook up with Miss Ji, she actually shouted that she would help him choose the princess today. Just when she wanted to say something.

The two people on the ground noticed her coming, and the two hurriedly stood up and tidied up their clothes, and the two of them said in unison

"We don't have anything, don't get me wrong"

"Why do you learn from me to speak"

"Obviously, you took advantage of me first!"

"What do you mean I take advantage of you? How can a woman of mine stand cheap for someone like you?"

The two of them were still chattering, Nangong Yue felt that her head was about to explode when she heard it, it was really too noisy, she couldn't help but scold, "Don't make any noise, are you going to Xiwu Lake."

When the two of them heard her say this, they suddenly became much quieter.

"I almost forgot the major events in this life, but a handsome and dashing beautiful man like me, there will definitely be many beauties who take a fancy to him," Chu Yuanqing said extremely narcissistically.

"Princess, why doesn't the prince go with you?" Ji Xiangning looked at her and asked.

"He'll come later" Nangong Yue walked to the round table and picked up a cup of tea and drank it, and after a while, Ling Bingche came over.

So the four of them stepped into their respective carriages and went to Xiwu Lake together, about an hour to arrive, Nangong Yue and Ling Bingche got off the car, and the pair of enemies also came down together, Xiwu Lake is picturesque, lively, rows of trees are hung with red lanterns, a group of strong men on the lake each race dragon boats in a boat, there is an expanded pavilion at both ends of the lake, a group of women row in two rows, a group of men also around to watch a group of women's competition, an examiner is sitting in the center, Nangong Yue and went over to take a look, originally said that day she was going to participate, But thinking about the fact that the palace is not short of silver, and her own restaurant business is booming, she won't participate.

As soon as she came over, all the men in the pavilion looked over, they had never seen such a good-looking beauty, and a group of women looked at Ling Bingche behind her, Ling Bingche's face suddenly darkened, these people he really wanted to take their eyeballs out, and then the game began, the first round was the qin, and Ji Xiangning also participated in the competition.

I saw that those women either played not pleasantly enough, or they were out of tune, and some didn't even know, the time of a stick of incense passed, and finally it was Ji Xiangning's turn, she sat down elegantly, Qianqian jade took the high-grade guqin in the hands of the maid, the jade hand lightly picked the silver strings, and the hands plucked on the guqin, the sound was beautiful, the timbre was like a pool of clear water, clear and clear, like a gust of breeze on the lake on a summer night, which led to relaxation and freshness in people's hearts. Chu Yuanqing, who was on the side, was suddenly distracted, he didn't expect this tough female devil to play so well, and he was really impressed by her.

As soon as the song fell, she got up elegantly, everyone applauded, and the examiner was also shocked, he had never heard such a beautiful piano sound, and after a while, he came back to his senses and shouted, "In the first game, Miss Ji wins."

After the examiner finished speaking, he then ordered someone to make a drawing, and then looked at the people present and said, "This game, it's more red than a woman, the official gave you a veil without any pattern, and you let the style of embroidering different patterns"

Then he sent someone to send them a handkerchief, and then they took it one by one and embroidered it seriously, and Ji Xiangning was seriously embroidering two mandarin ducks, and there were two butterflies embroidered next to it, and a chrysanthemum, and two pillars of incense passed, and the examiner ordered someone to take back the handkerchief in their hands. Some of the embroidery is a mess, some of the embroidery is not bad, the examiner will nod for a while, shake his head and fall into contemplation, and after a while, he will be shocked and look at a handkerchief, whether it is needlework or pattern, it is very well embroidered, especially the pair of mandarin ducks, as if alive, looking at the name embroidered on it, he shouted loudly, "In the second round, Miss Ji wins!" ”。

In the last round, it was the men's exam, and the test papers were distributed, and they looked at the questions, some shook their heads, some frowned, and some were in a daze, but Chu Yuanyu calmly put pen to paper. Kao Gong looked very satisfied and nodded. A cup of tea, the kung fu examiner ordered someone to collect the test paper.

"At the end of the competition, the first winner was Chu Gongzi and Miss Ji to win, Chu Gongzi rewarded ten taels of gold, Miss Ji rewarded a pair of jade jade bracelets, and a set of gold silk brocade robes" The examiner stared at them and said lightly.

"Thank you" The two of them took their respective rewards and walked to Ling Bingche Nangong Yue's side one after another.

"Congratulations, Xiangning, and you, stinky boy," Nangong Yue congratulated.

Ling Bingche also smiled slightly and took her hand, and Ji Xiangning and Chu Shizi also followed them to the opposite marriage pavilion.

Ling Bingche walked in, a bunch of women cast admiring glances, he looked at them coldly, one of the women in lilac clothes looked good, she lowered her head shyly, and gently handed the small zongzi pendant hanging on her waist to Ling Bingche, Nangong Yue was going to be dug up again!

Nangong Yue saw this scene, and was even more angry, and threw the zongzi pendant aside with the woman's frightened gaze, and said coldly: "He is my husband, please respect yourself!" ”

Seeing her like this, Ling Bingche subconsciously knew that she was jealous, he put his arm around her shoulders and looked at the woman in purple and said, "This king, as long as she is, it can only be her."

Seeing this, the lilac woman's face was particularly ugly, she couldn't imagine that King Ling would love Princess Ling so much, she lowered her head in shame, her hands shrunk into her sleeves and clenched her fists fiercely and stepped aside.

Nangong Yue immediately shouted, "Girls, how do you look at this son, do you have a favorite?" ”

Those women did not respond, but looked at Chu Yuanqing, saying that this son was good-looking and had an extraordinary temperament, and then a woman in a pale yellow dress came over and handed the small zongzi in her arms to Chu Yuanqing, and then a group of women also came over and handed the little zongzi, and after a while, Chu Yuanqing had twenty small zongzi in his hand.

Nangong Yue pointed to one of them and hurriedly asked him, "How is Chu Shizi, who is white-skinned and beautiful with long legs."

"What about this one, he looks good, look at this face"

Chu Yuanqing looked at Nangong Yueyi to recommend him one by one, and he didn't speak, but looked at Ji Xiangning, who was standing not far away.

"No need, give these jade pendants to those girls, there is someone you like in this world," Chu Yuanqing said. I don't want to see Ji Xiangning yet.
