The fifth day of May, the Dragon Boat Festival.
The air in the morning is really fresh, Su Yan made an appointment with Princess Rongyang and the others yesterday to go out for an outing, and she got dressed early this morning.
The girl Zhong Ning ran out early in the morning to play with Xia Mochu, which made Su Yan sigh for a while.
Cai Xia watched from the side, feeling that this scene seemed familiar.
Because it was the Dragon Boat Festival, Su Yan chose a very plain dress, a blue beige, and a white long skirt embroidered with lotus leaves, which looked very clean and elegant. There is a lily bun on the head, and a few pearl flowers on each side, which looks much brighter.
As her face grew, even though she was dressed plainly, and Su Yan deliberately kept her face plain, people still felt that her face was too charming and eye-catching at a glance.
Even if Su Yan just stood there quietly, she would definitely attract everyone's attention.
There were few girls in the mansion, Su Yan was afraid that Su Jian would be bored in the mansion by herself, so she called Su Jian when she went out, but Su Jian had a small day and was not feeling well, so she rested at home.
When the appointed time came, Su Yan immediately went to the appointment.
Because there were too many people going for outings by the moat, in order to prevent accidents, the imperial court specially ordered people to come out in a separate area, specially for the children of officials to go out for outings. Not far away, there is a special park on the bank for them to play pleasure boat.
It's just that it's different from the people here. With the river as the boundary, men and women are on each side. Unless they are playing on the river on a pleasure boat, there will be absolutely no chance of contact.
Su Yan and Princess Rongyang arrived one after another, and they waited at the same place for a while, Chen Lingfei and Lin Jin'er arrived late, and the four of them went to the river together.
At this time, there were already girls coming to play in twos and threes by the river, Princess Rongyang always disliked wasting time on greeting each other, so she took Su Yan and the others directly to the place she had chosen before.
This place is next to the river, wildflowers are everywhere on the ground, and there are woods not far away, the scenery is really pleasant.
The air in the early morning was exceptionally fresh, Su Yan was surrounded by birds singing and flowers, and she also lamented that the surrounding scenery was really beautiful, no wonder the royal family encloses this area.
Looking at the field of wild flowers, Chen Lingfei became very playful, so she simply sat on the ground and picked a few wild flowers, her fingers fluttering, as if she was making something up.
Su Yan stood by and watched, watching Chen Lingfei use those wild flowers to weave a flower hairpin in a short while, the colorful ones are really beautiful.
Su Yan couldn't help but marvel: "I didn't expect you to be so skillful."
Chen Lingfei giggled and said: "When I was a child, I saw my mother wearing hairpins and felt envious, so I secretly used flowers to weave them."
"It's really beautiful." Lin Jin'er looked at the hairpin and she also liked it, but Chen Lingfei handed the hairpin to Su Yan without hesitation: "Sister Su, you are born beautiful, you must look good with this hairpin."
Lin Jin'er's smile lost two points.
Su Yan noticed Lin Jin'er's expression, took the flower hairpin and turned around, inserted it into Lin Jin'er's hair, and said with a smile, "The color of this flower is bright, it matches your clothes." She winked: "Sister Lingfei, right?"
"Thank you." Lin Jin'er stretched out her hand to caress the flower hairpin on her head, looked at Chen Lingfei and asked, "Lingfei, are you pretty?"
"Pretty, beautiful." Although Chen Lingfei was careless, she was not stupid at all, she understood when she saw Su Yan's eyes, and immediately smiled at Lin Jin'er: "You like purple, so I wanted to make a special one for you. It's purple, but I didn't expect her to borrow flowers to present Buddha first."
Lin Jin'er and the Seventh Prince made a marriage contract. If everything goes according to plan and there are no accidents, she will be the mother of a country in the future.
The adult world is always so complicated.
The smile on Lin Jin'er's face bloomed again. Princess Rongyang glanced at her, then lowered her head and said to Chen Lingfei who was sitting there: "Get up quickly, your skirt will be dirty in a while. I see there are vacant cruise ships over there." , let's take a cruise for a while and then go back to watch the dragon boat race."
All three agreed.
The boatman rowed the boat westward along the river, Su Yan and the others sat on the pleasure boat, they could clearly see that men and women were together over there, the noise was so lively.
Chen Lingfei looked over there with yearning eyes: "Traveling is only fun if it is so lively. Like us, it's no different from going out to play in the past. It's very boring."
"It's so boring." Lin Jin'er stuffed the wild flowers she picked on the bank just now into Chen Lingfei's hands: "Look at the other bank to the south, is Young Master Wei looking at you?"
Chen Lingfei thought that Lin Jin'er was lying to her, so she boldly glanced there, and found that it was indeed Wei Lingluo, she immediately turned her head shyly, and urged the boatman, "Let's go, I don't want stay here."
Su Yan heard from Chu Yan that Wei Lingluo was a well-known talent in the capital. She took a look at the shore, and saw that there were indeed a few luxuriously dressed young men standing on the shore, but they were too far away to see their appearance clearly. Know who is Chen Lingfei's fiancé-in-law.
Princess Rongyang suddenly asked Su Yan: "Why didn't Sister Yan go out with my cousin today?"
"Perhaps he has something to do and never came to me." Speaking of this, Su Yan was also a little puzzled, since Chu Yan came over yesterday for the big gift, he really hasn't come to see her, this is different from his usual behavior .
Over there, Lin Jin'er suddenly realized: "No wonder I asked my cousin out at the Dragon Boat Festival that day. My cousin said that he has something to do today, so he should be with Prince Jing."
Princess Rongyang glanced at Lin Jin'er, and was about to tell her that the seventh prince would go to Prince Yan's mansion quietly, but immediately thought of the expression of the seventh prince's indifference every time she mentioned Lin Jin'er to the seventh prince, After opening his mouth, he finally swallowed the words that had reached his mouth.
After swimming on the river for a while, the boatman reminded them that it was almost time for the dragon boat race and someone would come to clear the river soon.
After hearing what the boatman said, Princess Rongyang immediately asked him to bring the boat to shore.
After getting off the boat, Su Yan asked curiously: "Isn't this area forbidden for people to come? Why do you have to give way to the dragon boat?"
Princess Rongyang smiled and said, "Sister Yan is the first year to spend the Dragon Boat Festival in Beijing, right?"
Su Yan nodded: "I returned to Beijing in June last year, and it is true that I haven't spent the Dragon Boat Festival in Beijing yet."
While walking back, Princess Rongyang explained to Su Yan: "During the Dragon Boat Festival every year, all adult princes will prepare a dragon boat, which will be operated by the princes themselves. The route is the moat. Whoever reaches the end first will win Got the leader."
After Su Yan heard this, she understood, she was in dire straits in Uncle Anjing's mansion at this time in her previous life, and she couldn't even get out of the house, how could she know this.
