Chapter 252 Dragon Boat Team

The weather was getting hotter, and Princess Changning had no appetite at all. During the lunch break, she kept poking meatballs with chopsticks.

Xu Yin couldn't help but said: "Princess, if you don't want to eat these meatballs, you can give them to my servant."

She has seen the suffering in troubled times with her own eyes, and she can't see people wasting food like this.

Princess Changning sighed, and finally put down her chopsticks: "It's so annoying!"

Xu Yin was surprised: "What's bothering the princess? Recently, the masters didn't scold you, and the girls didn't restrain you."

Speaking of which, Princess Changning's recent days are extremely refreshing.In the Bowen Museum, whenever she made a little improvement in her studies, the masters would not hesitate to praise her.Back in the harem, Concubine Shu was abolished, Concubine De was grounded, Concubine Xian was no meddler, no one cared about her.

But Princess Changning finds this kind of breezy life annoying.

She said with a bitter face: "Father is in a bad mood. Brother Huang is busy all day long, so he can't speak to them."

What a family boy.

Xu Yin said with a smile: "Your Majesty is in charge of the whole country. It is normal to be in a bad mood occasionally, isn't it before? As for the prince, he has been studying hard recently, which is a good thing!"

I don't know if the crown prince was stimulated by Yan Ling's matter, he has become more diligent recently, and Grand Tutor Lu has praised him several times.

Princess Changning nodded and accepted the statement: "Yes."

Princess Jinghua came over after finishing her meal and asked, "Chang Ning, how will you live in the Dragon Boat Palace this year?"

Princess Changning shook her head: "I don't know, I haven't asked yet."

"Then go ask Concubine Xian? Recently, everyone is so bored and wants to go out to play."

Princess Changning replied, "I'll tell you tomorrow."

The next day, Princess Changning excitedly announced: "Concubine Xian said that this year will be a big event, so that everyone can relax."

The main reason was the emperor, who was angry with Duke Zhao for a while, and wanted to find an excuse to be lively.Otherwise, with Concubine Xian's personality, she wouldn't want to make a fuss.

This was expected by Xu Yin, so he asked, "Is there a banquet or what?"

Princess Changning didn't hesitate to think: "Dragon Boat Festival is of course a dragon boat race! Concubine Xian said, let each government organize their own dragon boat teams, and Qushuiting will have a showdown."

Princess Jiayi heard it, and came over to ask, "Is there a dragon boat team from each family?"

Without waiting for Princess Changning to answer, Princess Jinghua said: "If every family comes out, how many sticks will they want? I'm afraid they won't be able to compete. I think what the empress means is that those with more people form one, and those with fewer people Combine or quit."

Princess Jiayi immediately said: "I have a lot of family members, let's organize it myself!"

Princess Jinghua is not to be outdone: "Our family has ready-made ones, and we have also raced dragon boats in previous years!"

The two are different from each other, and they can't wait to have a competition immediately.

While talking lively, Sheng Xueshi came in with another person.

Princess Changning saw it and shouted: "Uncle Huang, do you want to form a dragon boat team?"

Princess Jinghua also said: "Uncle Huang definitely wants to form a group! His palace is the most lively place, and he won the first place in the dragon boat race last year!"

The Dragon Boat Festival is a big festival, and every year the dragon boat race is crowded with people.It's just that in previous years, it was organized by the chamber of commerce. This year, the emperor spoke, and the specifications are even more different. There is no reason for Duanwangfu to miss it.

Sure enough, Duan Wang smiled and nodded: "Just wait and see, Uncle Huang is going to get the leader himself this year."

The little girls shouted "Wow", asking around him.

Duan Wang patiently answered one by one, and finally said: "Jinghua and Jiayi's residence should form a dragon boat team. If you are free, Changning, how about coming to the emperor's uncle? The emperor's money is tight recently. If you are willing to invest money, At that time, we will be a team."

Princess Changning's eyes lit up: "Can I?"

Duan Wang nodded: "I pay people, you pay money."

Princess Changning was delighted: "I'll ask Father for money later!"

Duan Wang smiled: "Okay, Uncle Huang is waiting for you."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Xu Yin inadvertently, and then went to talk to Bachelor Sheng.

……

That night, Yanling sneaked out again.

"Have you picked your time?" he asked.

Xu Yin nodded: "On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, His Majesty will have a big event, and all the officials and dignitaries will be present, and there will be too many people."

Yan Ling was thoughtful: "Since your Majesty is going out of the palace, the safety of the holy car is the top priority. Yu Chengri will definitely escort him carefully, it is not easy to assassinate him."

"But that day is the best time, otherwise, even if we can succeed in the assassination, it will not be easy to pick ourselves out."

It's hard to kill Yu Chong, but it's even more difficult after the fact.If they were exposed, it would be a catastrophe.

Yan Ling thought quickly in her mind, and said, "I will find a way to ask the prince to take me out."

Ever since Lord Zhaoguo was sued, the emperor seemed to have forgotten about him, and just let him ground him like that.Now I can't even go to school, so I can only walk around the mansion every day.

Seeing that he was so well-behaved, the emperor didn't get angry any more, and even turned a blind eye when the crown prince came to visit him.In the emperor's mind, even if Duke Zhao died, the Yan family still needed someone to take over. If the crown prince could subdue Yan Ling, it would be a guarantee in the future.

Although Yan Ling didn't know what the emperor was thinking, he could tell from his attitude that he hadn't completely lost his Sacred Heart.

These thoughts flashed by, and he continued: "I'll find out when and where Yu Chong will appear. We have people in the palace."

Xu Yin nodded without arguing with him.Yan's has been operating in the capital for a long time, it is better to entrust these matters to him.

The two quickly finished discussing some matters, Yanling put on the hood again, wrapped herself tightly, and quietly walked out of Xu's house.

……

After school the next day, Princess Changning dragged Xu Yin to Duan Wangfu.

She has asked the emperor for money, and now she is going to see "her" dragon boat team.

King Duan has always been an elegant figure outside, so the palace is decorated exquisitely and elegantly.His dragon boat team does not need to go to the river to practice, because there is a huge lake in the mansion.

When the two arrived, he was sitting on a deck chair by the lake, watching the training of the dragon boat team.

"Uncle Emperor!" Princess Changning shouted, waving hurriedly over there.

Duan Wang turned his head and waved to her.

Princess Changning pulled Xu Yin over, and took out a treasure ticket like offering a treasure: "Look, uncle, father gave me money!"

Duan Wang laughed: "It's quite a lot."

"Yeah, here you are! This is my dragon boat team now, right?"

Duan Wang nodded: "I'll ask them to embroider the flag, and hang your name on it when the time comes."

Princess Changning covered her cheeks and giggled, and was about to inspect her dragon boat team. The butler of the palace graciously took her around to introduce her.

The weather was really too hot, Xu Yin was too lazy to move, so he stood on the shore and watched.

Suddenly a jade cup appeared in front of him, and a maidservant said respectfully: "Mr. County, why don't you eat a bowl of ice cream to cool off the heat?"

Xu Yin turned his head to look, and saw Duan Wang smiling and nodding at her.
