Xiao Xuan saw Xie Yunqing's stern face and muttered a word. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Xie Yunqing called to him.
Xiao Xuan was overjoyed, "I knew you were reluctant to let me go."
Xie Yunqing: "..."
She was speechless for a while, then said: "Forget it, you go."
Xiao Xuan wiped the corners of his eyes where there were no tears, and turned his head one step at a time.
"Who is that person? It looks familiar."
Gu Yingniang looked at Xiao Xuan's back and asked.
"I don't know." Xie Yunqing smiled.
Gu Yingniang scratched her head, and then put the question behind her head.
"The dragon boat race is about to begin, let's go to the attic to watch it."
I heard the thunder of drums, crowds of people on the shore, and several dragon boats with flags on them.
The bright yellow is naturally from the heavenly family, or the other colors such as vermilion, white, black, blue, etc., are dragon boats of various families.
A tall pavilion stands by the lake, with four floors.
The top level is naturally accessible to the royal family and favored courtiers.
The emperor is honored, the left side is the member of the royal family, and the right side is the noble family.
Xie Yunqing was sitting right next to the window, and saw the lake's faint green water, like a deep emerald, wind was blowing outside, the water rippled, and the flags were hunting and fluttering in the air.
The sun is warm, the sky is clear, everything is so peaceful and comfortable.
Xie Yunqing hugged Sister Rong. Sister Rong wanted to grab the cakes on the table next to her. Xie Yunqing held her hand.
"Aunt, I want to eat." Rong Jie'er looked at Xie Yunqing with her big watery eyes.
Xie Yunqing took out a few pieces of candy from his purse, "Eat candy."
Sister Rong was still staring at the cakes, Xie Yunqing shook his head helplessly.
She was still young and naturally didn't understand that these foods looked delicious, but how dangerous they were.
Xie Yunqing turned his head and told the nurses not to let the little boys eat the food on the table.
The drums were loudly sounded outside, and the lion dance performers worked hard to perform. The ambitions in the pavilion are staggered, and it is also very lively.
There are people in the palace who are holding plates going back and forth.
The dragon boat race is about to begin soon, this is to bet.
"Aunt, who do you bet on wins?"
Brother Zhen pulled the hem of Xie Yunqing's clothes, raised his head and asked.
Xie Yunqing didn't answer. He lowered his head and thought for a while, then he wrote a few words.
Like Miss Wei Guo Gongfu, she made a bet of two taels of silver.
As soon as Xie Yunqing put aside his pen, she saw that Sister Rong was mad about reaching out to beat her brother Zhen, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"
"Third brother grabbed my candy." Sister Rong'er complained with great momentum.
Pei was talking with Ji, and heard her daughter's voice called Chacha, and looked back at her, "You are quiet outside, a little girl, noisy and noisy, not like a lady."
Ji also educates his son, "How can you snatch things from your sister? As a brother, you have to let your sister."
Brother Zhen lowered his head and whispered, "I was wrong, A-niang."
"The person you should apologize to is not me."
Brother Zhen looked at Sister Rong, "Sister, I'm sorry, I shouldn't grab your candy."
Sister Rong jumped to the ground and took the initiative to hold Brother Zhen's hand, "Brother III, I shouldn't speak loudly to you." Then, she handed a piece of candy to Brother Zhen, "Brother Zhen, eat candy."
The two little guys, who were still awkward just now, are reconciled in a blink of an eye.
When everyone saw it, they were all amused by the naive look of the two little guys.
Suddenly the long whistle sounded abruptly, the long whistle was blown three times, each time shorter than the other, the last whistle fell, and several dragon boats were seen rushing from the shore.
Get out.
At the front end of the dragon boat, the drummers were beating the drums with high spirits, and the oars were rowing together.
When the dragon boat rushed to the last part of the journey, an impatient young man was standing on the window sill, poking his head and looking down.
Sister Rong'er and Brother Zhen had never seen such a tense scene. Both of them stared at the dragon boats on the water with their eyes wide open.
Everyone held their breath for fear of missing something in the blink of an eye.
The shouts poured into her ears like a tide, Xie Yunqing only felt that her ears were almost deaf. She patted her ears, and her ears buzzed and her tinnitus was severe.
When he was lowering his head and covering his ears, there was a sudden thunderous applause and gongs and drums rang in unison.
"Your Majesty, the royal dragon boat won the first place! Wei Guogong's mansion is second, and Liang's mansion is third!"
Zaoyi eunuch came up to report back.
The expected thing.
The emperor smiled and hurriedly rewarded all the oarsmen and drummers.
The queen looked at everyone's notes, smiled and handed it to the emperor to read, "The girls from the ** government have all guessed right."
The emperor was in a good mood, so he was busy sending all the lottery bets to Xie Yunqing.
Xie Yong queued to thank her for her daughter.
"Xie Qing, it's been a long time since I saw you, but when I saw you today, I felt pretty good."
The emperor looked at Xie Yong with a smile on his face, as if he couldn't see the jealousy and grudge against Xie Yong in the past.
Xie Yong said hurriedly: "Your Majesty has broken the evil minister. Recently, the weather has been clear, and the spirit of the minister is good. When it is cloudy, the minister is so painful that his bones are about to fall apart."
This is showing weakness to the emperor.
Everyone was secretly frightened.
Who could have imagined that Xie Yong, the former valiant and eloquent father, was already suffering from disease.
The emperor really showed a look of sigh, "You have spent half your life in the army, and your whole body is injured. When I go back, I will point out the two doctors to show you and prescribe a few medicines to see if you can relieve your pain."
Xie Yong knelt down and thanked him.
The emperor just mentioned it casually, and he didn't necessarily take what he said to his heart.
The queen stroked the delicate dark lines on the sleeves of her coat, with a decent and generous smile at the corner of her mouth.
She tilted her head slightly and looked at the position below herself, where it was supposed to be the position of Concubine Gao, but now Concubine Xiang Xian is sitting.
Concubine Xian always feels like a gentle wind and drizzle, quiet and tranquil. If Concubine Gao Gui is as charming and warm as a rose, then Concubine Xian is a quiet and unique lily.
She has fought with Concubine Gao for most of her life, and she has always been evenly divided in the palace.
However, in the past few days, Concubine Gao Gui has been lingering on the bed for some reason, and Concubine Xiang Xian has begun to drift off.
At this moment, Concubine Xian was tilting her head and talking to the married princess.
I saw her brows dancing, her face with a proud and flamboyant look, she was very different from the elegant and indifferent woman of Su Ri.
The queen only stopped looking at Concubine Xiang Xian, and then moved away.
No matter how the harem surging, she is the calm and solemn Queen of the Middle Palace.
On the third floor, Shen Miaohua was sitting on a chair, beside her half-sister.
Everyone was talking and laughing excitedly, but she was uneasy.
Yesterday, my grandmother went to her for questioning and asked her how is the relationship between her and the third son of the Xie family.
Shen Miaohua naturally didn't dare to say that he hadn't even seen Xie Zhang's face so far. He just hung his head and pretended to be shy.
Obviously, her successful attitude made Mrs. Shen misunderstood.
Mrs. Shen nodded in satisfaction, then showed a worried look.
"You also know that our Zhongyi Marquis is already going downhill. When your grandfather's title is passed on to your father, it will become Zhongyi.
Uncle. Now the Shen family is in urgent need of a marriage. You are the leader of this generation, and all the hopes of our family rest on you. "
Shen Miaohua couldn't help but sneer after leaving Mrs. Shen's yard.
To put it nicely, it is nothing more than sacrificing her and changing her family's prosperity.
Shen Miaohua thought of Xie Zhang who had just seen him from a distance.
After months of absence, Xie Zhang has become thinner and handsomer.
If Xie Zhang in the past was a blessed son of heaven, Xie Zhang now is more like the accumulated pine cypress.
Shen Miaohua wanted to go over and say a few words, but saw Xie Zhang as if he hadn't seen her, talking with his brother to the top floor.
With the confidence of the Zhongyi Hou Mansion, one can only watch the dragon boat race on the third floor.
Shen Miaohua sighed and took two sips of tea from his teacup.
The tea in the palace is naturally not a vulgar product. The fragrance is overflowing, and it is rich and sweet. Shen Miaohua could not help but drank two more cups.
After a few cups of tea, Shen Miaohua felt a little anxious, said to her stepmother, and took her maid to leave.
Madam Shen looked at Shen Miaohua's back and curled her lips.
This stepdaughter has been very thoughtful since she was a child, and always likes to play tricks.
Madam Shen doesn't plan to care about her anymore, just see what storm she can cause.
The dressing house was located on the first floor. Shen Miaohua passed through the crowd and hurriedly went downstairs. After solving the needs, he just came out and saw a few palace men wearing eunuch costumes.
Eunuch...
Shen Miaohua didn't dare to show it on her face, but she still felt a little hairy in her heart.
She hurriedly took the maid back to her seat.
Xie Yunqing also felt thirsty, stretched out his hand to fetch the teacup, one of his hands was unstable, tea was poured on Sister Rong's body.
Fortunately, the tea has been left for a long time, and it has been cold, and it hasn't been hot to Sister Rong, but the clothes on Rong's body are indeed wet.
"I'll take her down to change clothes. It's too noisy here, and I have a headache. I won't be able to get up in the carriage later." Pei picked up Sister Rong, and didn't mean to blame Xie Yunqing at all.
Xie Yunqing nodded, and then said to a few brothers: "You follow the second sister-in-law."
The brothers also felt that the dragon boat race was over, and it was boring to sit here, so they followed.
Xie Yunqing made their nurses, sisters, and maids all follow.
Half of the people in Xie's family walked out, and most of the places were vacant.
Xie Yunqing tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
Xiao Xuan, who had been secretly watching Xie Yunqing on the opposite side, nodded as if feeling.
Xie Yunqing raised his head and glanced at Su Wen behind him.
Su Wen pretended to be a maid and came with her today. Seeing Xie Yunqing looking towards her, he took a step forward.
Xie Yunqing beckoned to Su Wen, Su Wen leaned her ear, Xie Yunqing said a few words to her, Su Wen nodded, and calmly stood beside Xie Yunqing.
The opposite Xiao Xuan felt uncomfortable as if he was scratching his heart.
What the hell is that girl talking about
He seems to have forgotten one thing.
Su Wen is the most outstanding one of the secret guards in the Department of Zhuo Zi. Why can he obey Xie Yun's clear words now
Xiao Xuanzheng stared at Xie Yunqing unblinkingly. A group of people from the Zaoyi Palace walked over and directly blocked his sight.
Xiao Xuan was very unhappy.
Xie Yunqing's gaze was also attracted by those Zaoyi Palace people, and his gaze toward those Palace people was dark and gloomy.
The Zaoyi Palace people came up to report with the emperor about some of the dragon boat races.
The head of the person kept his head buried and raised his head when he was about to retire, but there was a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
Before everyone reacted, they saw a flash of cold light in his sleeve, and they rushed towards the emperor—
