Queen Xiaoxi

Chapter 361
Kangxi took the bright yellow dragon flag presented by Liang Jiugong and waved it outside.

In an instant, nine dragon boats rowed out quickly under the guidance of the drum sound from the dragon boat head.The entire lake immediately became lively, with drums beating and the nine dragon boats almost keeping pace with each other.

Wanxian looked at it dizzyingly. While watching, she asked, "Long live my Lord, which flag of the dragon boat do you think will be the leader?"

Before Kangxi could speak, Lu Dai, who was standing next to him, explained to Wanxian: "Suma Ma, last year it was a pure white flag, and the year before that it was a pure yellow flag. This year, my granddaughter thinks there is a chance to put a yellow flag."

It happened that the dragon boat with the yellow flag on the lake surpassed the other dragon boats with the seven flags and stood out.

Wanxian nodded and felt that this year should be the winner with the yellow flag.

……

After a while, the dragon boat with the yellow flag won as expected.Zhengbai Qi is second and Zhenghong Qi is third.

Kangxi looked at Long Xin Yue in the attic, and waved his hand and said: "Okay, all the good men with yellow flags will be rewarded with a yellow mantle and 100 taels of silver." He had made a fortune recently, so he did not hesitate. Reward politely.

Liang Jiugong accepted the order and went downstairs to distribute the reward.

Wanxian pulled Galudai beside her and asked curiously: "Do you have any in mind?"

Galudai shook his head nervously and said shyly: "Granddaughter, granddaughter doesn't know."

"Forget it, it's fine if you don't like him. Tomorrow I'll ask Huang Mafa to find you an excellent son-in-law." Wan Xian saw that Gallu Dai really didn't like him, so she said regretfully .

Although Galudai was shy, he saw that Wanxian was sincerely doing her best.So she quickly thanked Wanxian and said, "Yes, granddaughter, thank you, Grandma Shuma, for taking care of me."

Kangxi saw Wanxian and Galudai whispering and did not stop them. He only waited until they finished talking.He said: "Are you two going to have fun on the dragon boat?"

Wanxian quickly said happily: "Yes, I want it."

Galudai also said: "Huang Mafa, my granddaughter is also going."

So Kangxi led Wanxian and Galudai downstairs.

The remaining concubines, elder brother, etc. also want to follow.

It's just that Kangxi thought these people were a burden. In fact, Kangxi also felt that Lu Dai was also a burden.It's just that Galudai is his granddaughter after all, and he ordered Galudai to play with Wanxian.So I can only take Galudai with me, but the others are not unweaned children. Why do they always follow me?
Seeing a group of people following him, Kangxi said angrily: "What are you all following me for? Do whatever you have to do."

Everyone was really speechless in their hearts.What does Long Live Lord mean?Does this mean you dislike yourself?
Kangxi didn't care what everyone was thinking and took Wanxian and Galudai downstairs.

Everyone was left watching helplessly as Kangxi, Wanxian and Gallu Dai left.

Everyone dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. Only Concubine Tong Jia, who had the highest position in the harem, saw this and said: "Today's Dragon Boat Festival is really rare. Wanfangzhai has already prepared "Elucidating Tao and Eliminating Evil", "Spiritual Talisman to Help the World", and " There are seasonal plays such as "Expelling Evils for the Festival", "Collecting Herbs to Conquer Demons", and "Exterminating Demons by Order". Our sisters in the harem, Fujin and Princess, why not go to watch the play. As for the prince and brothers, please do as you please. Bar."

The prince and all the elder brothers nodded and thanked Concubine Tong Jia with fists in their hands.

The concubines naturally followed the steps given by Imperial Concubine Tong Jia, and Fujin and Gege, who had nothing to do, naturally followed the concubines to watch the show.

Concubine Yi was the first to speak: "In that case, let's go, concubine." Concubine Tong Jia nodded and took the lead to walk downstairs.

The concubine, Fujin, and Princess all followed.

The Crown Princess was still thinking about her daughter's future, so she took the initiative and said to the Prince: "Prince, if you have nothing to do, I would like to go and pay a visit to Mama Huang."

The prince was satisfied with the princess's filial piety and agreed.

The Crown Princess was about to leave, but then said: "In that case, Lin Jiafu Jin and Hong Jin, you mother and son should also follow me to pay my respects to the Queen Mother." As soon as these words fell, Hong Xi, who was standing next to Hong Jin, His face turned pale instantly.

Lin Jiafujin and Hong Jin were naturally overjoyed. They quickly bowed to the prince and followed behind the prince.

The prince was also satisfied with the princess's knowledge and told Hong Jin: "Your eldest daughter-in-law is determined to promote you, but you must listen to your eldest daughter-in-law's arrangements."

Hong Jin quickly clasped his fists happily and said, "Don't worry, Amma, my son will definitely listen to his mother-in-law. He will definitely be filial to his mother-in-law in the future."

The prince was naturally happy after hearing this.

Once bitten by a snake and afraid of well ropes for ten years, the Crown Princess doesn't quite believe Hong Jin's words now.But it doesn't sound comfortable at all.

Hongxi became increasingly unhappy when he saw his Ama teaching his concubine, who was previously inferior to him, word by word.But now is not the time to be angry. Hong Xi took the initiative and saluted the Crown Princess and said, "My dear mother, my son also wants to pay his respects to Mother Uku."

Hongxi thought very well. Since he couldn't please Kangxi, the Emperor Mafa, it would be good to first please the Empress Dowager, Wuku's mother.Anyway, Huang Mafa has always been filial.It would also be good if Mother Uku said a few more good words in front of Huang Mafa on her behalf.

The Crown Princess obviously didn't want to pay attention to Hong Xi, and just walked away minding her own business.

Lin Jiafujin and Hongjin quickly bowed to the crown prince and then followed the crown prince.

The prince couldn't get angry at the princess in public, not to mention that this was Hong Xi's fault after all.So one cannot blame the Crown Princess.The prince had no choice but to accuse Hongxi in a low voice: "Put away the dissatisfaction on your face. What qualifications do you have to be so dissatisfied? It's not you who was unfilial to your aunt in the first place." Yes. Who are you pretending to be a filial son now?"

"Amma, my son is just..." Hongxi has always been valued by the prince, and such a reprimand was only given during this period of time.Now Hong Xi's face was white and red, and he felt like everyone around him was staring at him as a joke.

Hongxi has always been proud of his status as the eldest son of the East Palace and the eldest grandson of the emperor. He couldn't stand his concubines and cousins ​​when he went to school in Shangshufang.At this moment, Hong Xi felt that the cousins ​​he had looked down on before were looking at him with mocking eyes, as if they were vaguely saying: "Look. You are just the same as us. What qualifications do you have to climb over us and lord it over us?" blessing."

In fact, Hong Xi obviously thought too much.The prince was also afraid of being embarrassed, so he deliberately lowered his voice when scolding his son.Besides, the prince is the crown prince of a country. Even though the elder brother below him is not convinced, he can't be angry with him after all.Therefore, although the position of the prince is not far from that of the brothers, there is still some distance.Everyone did look at the movements of the prince and Hong Xi, but they just thought they were whispering.

The prince didn't want to listen to Hong Xi's excuse anymore. The influence had been ruined, and no matter how many good words he said later, it would be useless.The prince stopped Hongxi, who was still defending, and said loudly to the brothers below: "Let's go downstairs to see the dragon boat." As soon as the prince spoke, the brothers had to obey no matter how unconvinced they were. After all, Huang Ama is still here.

So the prince took the lead, and everyone followed him down from the attic and walked to the shore.

On a fine dragon boat on the shore, Wanxian and Galudai were sitting.

Kangxi was on the shore and warned: "Sit carefully and don't fall into the lake. It will be uncomfortable if you choke on the water." Then Kangxi warned the guards and eunuchs protecting the dragon boat: "But You have to take good care of yourself. If Empress and Princess fall into the water, be careful with your heads."

The imperial guards and powerful eunuchs didn't dare to reply, so they quickly promised: "I will obey the orders of Lord Long Live."

Curious, Wanxian took the drum stick and banged the big drum on the head of the dragon boat.After the drums made a sound, Wanxian asked Kangxi: "How can I make such a fierce drum sound just now?"

"Don't think about it, you can't knock it out. This dragon boat drumming is a science. If you want to know, you come down first. I'll let someone show you." Kangxi regretted a little and asked Wanxian and Galudai boarded the dragon boat alone.Kangxi was afraid that the two of them would fall into the water.Seeing Wanxian's curiosity, Kangxi came up with a good idea and coaxed Wanxian.

Wanxian really wanted to know, so she nodded and said, "Okay, then, come down. Galudai, do you want to go down?" Wanxian asked the equally curious Galudai.

This is also the first time for Galudai to board a dragon boat.In previous years, Galudai also followed the prince and princess to watch the dragon boat race during the Dragon Boat Festival.But at that time, I had been watching from a high place, but this time I got on the dragon boat thanks to Wanxian's relationship.

Galudai also said quickly: "My granddaughter is going down too."

So Wanxian was supported by the palace maid and carefully got off the dragon boat.

But before his foot touched the ground, Kangxi anxiously supported Wanxian.

This scene happened to be seen clearly by the prince and his brothers who came over.
