The dragon boat race is still in full swing. The first place winner is still there to compete. The purpose of racing is to ward off evil spirits. People at that time believed in this very much. It is not a simple competition where people only look at the ranking.
Xiao Huayong was a little restless, but as there was a scheduled show to be performed soon, he had to hold himself back and did not go looking for Shen Xihe.
In a blink of an eye, he looked at and nodded to Cui Jinbai in the crowd. Cui Jinbai left the table after receiving Xiao Huayong's hint. People who noticed Cui Jinbai, such as Cui's family, watched Cui Jinbai walk towards Bu Shulin, who had won the championship and had just come ashore.
He forcefully grabbed Bu Shulin's collar and dragged her away from the group of boys and girls surrounding her.
"Cui Shitou, let me go!" Bu Shulin felt that he had lost all face, so he grabbed Cui Jinbai's arm with his backhand.
With a strong twist, Cui Jinbai turned around and followed Bu Shulin's force. He did not let go, but pulled her into his arms, holding down Bu Shulin who was about to resist, and whispered in her ear: "Your Highness has to do what he told you to do. You cover me."
Bu Shulin, who had already grabbed Cui Jinbai's shoulders and pinned his legs with his knees, and was only one step away from throwing Cui Jinbai off his feet, froze immediately.
Without even noticing Cui Jinbai's triumphant smile, he wrapped her up and dragged her away.
Bu Shulin was too lazy to resist. Theoretically, she also belonged to the party of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Although she was not as loyal as Cui Jinbai, she still had to contribute to His Royal Highness's career so that she could be rewarded in the future.
When Cui Jinbai's father saw this, his face turned pale. He wanted to get up and chase after him, but Cui Jinbai's great-uncle Cui Zheng stopped him and said, "Sit down."
"Uncle, Zhihe..."
"Are you chasing them now to prove that they are gay? Do you want to make things out of control?" Cui Zheng asked in a low voice.
Now, no one can really determine the truth of the matter. If the Cui family members rush to stop it, it will appear that they are guilty. This will undoubtedly make it known to the public that Bu Shulin and Cui Jinbai are not innocent. It has reached a point that the Cui family can no longer tolerate.
Cui Jinbai's father had to take a deep breath and sit up straight. Cui Jinbai was sure that without any real evidence, no matter how bad the rumors were, the Cui family would not intervene. This was an act of self-incrimination, which was why they were so unscrupulous.
The other is that the Cui family was most prosperous during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, when the national customs were even more unruly than they are now. Even if this is true, as long as Cui Jinbai is the future pillar of the Cui family and no younger generation of the Cui family surpasses Cui Jinbai, Cui Zheng will protect Cui Jinbai to the end.
As for the inheritance of offspring, the Cui family is large and prosperous, with many people. In the future, if they find someone with extraordinary talent, they can adopt him as Cui Jinbai's son.
Cui Jinbai pulled Bu Shulin into an alley, pressed her to face the wall, and stuck close to her from behind: "Was it fun just now?"
"It's fun." Bu Shulin wanted to break away from him, but was afraid of attracting attention, so he looked back and said, "Tell me quickly, what do you want, Your Highness?"
Cui Jinbai pressed forward, almost pressing himself on her: "In front, in the small kitchen, find a way to put this thing on the dough."
Bu Shulin stretched his head out slightly and looked ahead at the palace people coming and going. This was a temporary building to provide catering for the royal family. There were guards and patrols all around, so it would be extremely difficult to take action here.
