Empress is forced to be the favorite concubine every day

Chapter 526
Among them is the death of Liu Meiren, the daughter of Duke Dingguo.
The mystery that had troubled Duke Ding for half a year was finally revealed, and Duke Ding ran to Yuan Shi with snot and tears and had a miserable time.

Yuan Shi not only comforted him with good words, but also entrusted him with the matter of raiding Yu's house.
Duke Ding was overjoyed. He had the wonderful illusion that His Majesty wanted to use him again.
God knows how hard it is to live with nothing to worry about
I have to say that Yuan Shi's move gave many 'conservative' courtiers a reassurance
The atmosphere in the court hall has also become much more harmonious.

In the end, the Yu family was exiled to the deep mountains to mine
This incident caused another round of commotion in the streets and alleys
Shake Light Palace.

While eating iced honeydew melon, Concubine Lu said bluntly, "Do you know that the girl that Yu's family originally wanted to send to the palace was not Concubine Rou, but the daughter of his father's previous wife?"

Lan Pin said with great interest: "Oh, then why have we never heard of such a young lady?"

Concubine Lu: "Because Concubine Rou's mother and daughter are domineering~ It is said that Concubine Rou's elder sister is timid by nature, and she does not fight or grab anything. When Master Yu was transferred to the capital, he offered to stay in the country."

Concubine Lan had a clear expression on her face, "I understand, I understand. If you want me to say that this young lady is smart, according to Roupin's temper, if she dares to fight or snatch, she may have died many times already."

Concubine Lu nodded, "So, when Master Yu proposed to let her enter the palace, what do you think happened to her?"

Concubine Lan: "Say it quickly~ don't go around the bush"

Concubine Lu sighed, "She cut her own hair and became a monk."

Concubine Lan was stunned for a moment, "He's a ruthless person! But it's a blessing in disguise. After all, this time, I don't have to go to the deep mountains and old forests with Yu's family to suffer."

Concubine Lu smacked her lips, "So, contentment is always happiness!"

Several people talked and talked, and the topic came to 'Duanyang Festival'.

June 25 is the Dragon Boat Festival of this year.

Counting the days, there are only ten days left.

Song Lieyin thought of the grand dragon boat races that would be held on the outskirts of the capital every time Duanyang arrived in the Southern Kingdom, and couldn't help but wonder what fun and interesting things would happen in King's Landing.

"Sister Xu, tell me how we celebrate Duanyang here~"

Xu Pin smiled and said: "Our palace will hold sacrifices to worship the Dragon Ancestor and pray for blessings to ward off evil spirits. On that day, we all have to take a wormwood bath, and the palace people will also use wormwood to sweep the house to remove darkness and pollution."

"One year, I went to Duanyang in Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing. The festive atmosphere there was much stronger than that in Beijing. In addition to offering sacrifices and sweeping houses with wormwood, every household had to make rice dumplings, weave colorful ropes and wear them until it rained."

These customs are no different from those in the southern countries, Song Lieyin asked with some unwillingness.

"Sister Xu, in the past, the Southern Congress held a grand dragon boat race during Duanyang. Don't we have any large-scale entertainment here?"

Xu Pin smiled, as if I had seen through your little thoughts.

"There are kite competitions and swing competitions in the folk, but I haven't participated in them, and I don't know how to play them."

Lu Pin stared, "I've seen the swing competition. Those people are very good. Not only can they swing high, but they can also swing beautifully. It's like miscellaneous performances. It's very interesting."

Song Lieyin's eyes lit up, "Why don't we combine the two and hold a kite swing competition?"
