The emperor has already led several princes to board several dragon boats.
Prince Ning looked at the sun in the sky, then at the emperor sitting on the dragon's head, and then at the willow trees on both sides of the bank that were scorched by the scorching sun. He frowned and sighed: "Why is Brother Huang so crazy? Want to be hot?" A dead person!"
The officials around King Ning nodded in deep agreement.
Of course they dare not say this.
Only Prince Ning, who is the same mother as the Emperor, dares to say that!
Nalan Jinnian arranged for the Queen Mother, the Eighth Princess and Wenwen's family to sit down in a straw shed that he had ordered someone to build.
Nalan Jinnian said to the Queen Mother: "My son, go and row the dragon boat with the emperor."
The Queen Mother nodded: "Okay, take good care of your royal brother."
How old are you to race dragon boats
Nalan Jinnian nodded.
The eighth princess said excitedly: "Uncle Seventeen will definitely win!"
Nalan Jinnian glanced at Wen Nuan and spoke to Wu before getting on the same dragon boat where the emperor was.
He lifted up his clothes and sat down in the first row.
The prince did not row the dragon boat himself, but sat on the dragon's head and played the role of drummer. He fiddled with the drumsticks.
The emperor raised his head and glanced at Nalan Jinnian: "Brother Seventeen, go to another dragon boat and let's see who can play the drum more brilliantly!"
Nalan Jinnian glanced coldly at the emperor's gray beard, which seemed to be turning gray quickly recently.
"You are fooling around with your age! If I am not on this ship, I am afraid that the emperor will lose and be embarrassed!" After Nalan Jinnian finished speaking, he glanced at the officials and people standing on both sides of the strait.
That means, with so many people here, you are not afraid of being embarrassed
“……..”
The emperor was so angry that he blew his beard and stared:
Who is old
Who will lose
I will show him the first place in a while!
Let him know what it means to be old and strong!
The emperor turned his head away because he didn't want to talk to someone.
The eldest prince glanced at the dragon boat where the emperor and Nalan Jinnian were sitting, with a gloomy look in his eyes: It's great, we are in the same boat!
The eldest prince boarded the dragon boat at the end.
The Ninth Prince was surprised and said: "Brother, don't you go to the dragon boat next to my father?"
The eldest prince pulled him to sit down: "It doesn't matter which dragon boat it is, it's so hot! It's cooler on the shore!"
The Ninth Prince thought about it and sat down.
Nalan Jinnian looked at the ships on both sides.
At this time, the dragon boats were already lined up on the river.
The dragon boats of the eldest prince and grandson are farthest from the emperor's dragon boat.
closest to the river bank.
Nalan Jinnian curled his lips. Shouldn't he be on the dragon boat closest to the emperor's brother
People who usually like to express themselves stay far away.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
Nalan Jinnian glanced at the person behind him again.
Next to him is Xie Tengfei, a fourth-grade imperial guard with a sword.
All those behind them are Imperial Guards with excellent agility and agility.
Ning Huaijie's eldest brother Ning Huaiyu was also there.
Ning Huaiyu stood out this year in the imperial guard martial arts competition and won first place, so she had the honor to race the dragon boat in the same boat as the emperor this time.
Nalan Jinnian waved to Ning Huaiyu: "Sit behind me."
Then Nalan Jinnian said to the imperial guard behind him: "Switch places with him!"
"yes!"
After hearing this, the two quickly stood up and changed positions.
Nalan Jinnian moved a few more people's positions before giving up.
Soon the drums sounded.
The dragon boat race begins.
The people on the ten dragon boats rowed the oars uniformly.
The ten dragon boats broke through the water and flew out like arrows from the string.
Many civil and military officials on the shore cheered the emperor up.
The people on the river bank were officials and wives on one side, and ordinary people on the other side.
The two sides are clearly distinct.
But wherever the dragon boat went, people on the shore enthusiastically cheered the emperor!
The women also waved their handkerchiefs vigorously.
The scene was very lively.
Some people shouted any slogan:
"The Emperor will win! The Emperor will win!"
"The dragon boat and the others will make the river clear and clear! The Nalan Kingdom will have good weather from now on, and there will be no more natural disasters or epidemics!"
"The True Dragon Emperor is here! All the demons and ghosts in the river have been driven away! The river is clear and bright!"
... ...
All the officials and people were shouting happily, but only the fateful woman and noble ladies had no strength to shout!
The higher-ranking ones stood under the tree, while the lower-ranking ones could only stand in the sun with paper umbrellas, and they were about to be burned to death!
The queen was standing under a big tree now, and it was too hot.
Her black phoenix robe embroidered with gold and colored phoenixes was soaked through.
Black is inherently more heat-absorbing, and given her age and pampering, she felt like she was covered with a quilt on a hot day.
The queen knew in advance that the emperor would race the dragon boat in person. If she hadn't been worried that the emperor would become suspicious, she should have asked someone to pick him up and set up the shed!
It’s really terrible!
The Queen looked at the Queen Mother with a sinister look in her eyes.
The family of Shichang Hou, the eighth princess and the queen mother were sitting under the thatched hut.
There were ice basins placed behind a few people, and a palace maid was fanning herself with a cattail leaf fan. It was really uncomfortable.
At this time Wan Yun came over with two food baskets, and then took out several bowls of iced mung bean soup and placed them in front of several people.
"The Queen Mother, the Eighth Princess, the Princess, Madam, Miss Jiwen, here comes the iced tangerine peel and mung bean soup! Have some to relieve the heat."
On the black pottery bowl, the green mung bean soup looks particularly tempting.
The eighth princess's eyes lit up: "That's great! We actually have ice-cold mung bean soup to drink! Nuannuan, you are so thoughtful!"
The Queen Mother nodded: "The heat is unbearable, so it's just the right time to cool down!"
After saying that, she took a spoonful and tasted it, and suddenly she felt her whole body cool!
Then several other people also tasted it.
Soon the bottom of the bowl of mung bean soup was gone.
The eighth princess said with satisfaction: "It's so cool!"
Everyone was so hot that they were sweating profusely and their mouths were dry with thirst: "......"
Do you want to torture people like this
Concubine Li saw the Tao Ranju logo on the box Wan Yun was carrying, and said to the maid next to her: "Go to Tao Ranju and buy me two bowls of iced mung bean soup."
When the ministers and wives saw this, they also sent people to buy it.
The heat is unbearable!
The queen was very thirsty, but she was a queen. How could she do such an indecent thing as drinking mung bean soup on the street? She endured it and refused to let anyone buy it.
Lin Tingya saw so many married women asking their maids to buy mung bean soup. Thinking of the warmth, she asked Wan Yun and Tao Ran to prepare some iced tangerine peel mung bean soup yesterday and sell it for ten taels a bowl tomorrow.
At that time, she thought, how could anyone buy a bowl of mung bean soup that cost ten taels of silver
Now seeing everyone asking people to buy mung bean soup, I can’t help but feel that Warmth is extremely clever!
The boys and maids drove a carriage to buy iced mung bean soup, so they bought it back quickly.
When the ladies heard that it was ten taels of silver per bowl, they couldn't help but grit their teeth: Tao Ranju was really good at making money.
But when the ice-cold mung bean soup was drunk, everyone felt a chill in their bodies and minds, and felt that the ten taels of silver a bowl of mung bean soup was worth it!
If it's too hot, you'll get sick. Is drinking mung bean soup better than taking bitter medicine
Everyone looked at the dragon boat getting further and further away happily, and finally felt a little bit in the mood.
At this time, the sky in the distance became dark, and a strong wind blew over, making everyone feel even cooler!
