Qing Palace: Biography of Concubine Shu

Chapter 408 Dragon Boat
During the Dragon Boat Festival, Kangxi specially held a banquet in the palace, and the secret concubine was regarded as the highest status among the accompanying women, as the hostess, she directly led the banquet.

In the garden, Shu Yun and Yinzhen met, and she walked behind Yinzhen.

Around the gazebo, banquets have been set up. In the artificial lake not far away, there are four or five dragon boats docked for a dragon boat race. These people are the servants of the Jiangnan Bieyuan, and the others are from Jiangnan. Servants of officials' mansions.

This dragon boat race was nothing more than Bo Kangxi's fun. The princes looked at the dragon boats, they were all carefully crafted, and it must have taken a lot of effort.

"Master, are these dragon boats from the folk?" Shu Yun sat beside Yinzhen, looking at the desk in front of him, where some rice dumplings and a few dishes of seasonal melons and fruits were placed. These are officials from Jiangnan. Carefully selected, these represent local characteristics.

"No!" Yinzhen shook his head, if these dragon boats were placed among the people, merchants' families might not be able to make them.

The courtiers in the south should have used taxes.

"Fourth brother, are these dragon boats too old?" Yin Qi found that the dragon boats were inlaid with various gemstones, which made him feel a little luxurious.

Yinzhen pursed his lips tightly. These people should have done it to please the prince. At the beginning, the prince drew a dragon boat inlaid with various gemstones. Kangxi also gave instructions that this dragon boat was a bit luxurious. At that time, Kangxi was in In the situation of withdrawing San Francisco.

Few people knew about this matter, but Yinzhen knew it well. During that time, he was studying with the prince, and Kangxi also criticized the prince. As a king, he should not be too extravagant.

The drawing of this design was lost in the next few years. Now, when he saw this dragon boat with his own eyes, he couldn't help feeling a little strange.

"Which one is it?" Yinzhi glanced at Yinzhen, "Which one was designed by the crown prince himself!?"

In class that day, Yinzhi was the youngest, everyone was paying attention to the textbooks, so he tilted his head to watch the prince's actions.

"I look very similar!" Yin Yin also nodded, "The prince is the only one reprimanded!"

Yinxuan and Yinzhi expressed infinite emotion. In the study room, everyone will be reprimanded by the master. The prince is different. He is a half-lord, and the master is a slave. Therefore, when the masters speak, they will be extra careful, for fear that there will be something wrong. I've mispoken.

When the prince saw the dragon boat, he was filled with emotion. His dream had finally come true.

The once young dream, which was imagined during the Dragon Boat Festival, was directly denied by Kangxi. Today, this ship appeared.Cao Yin observed the faces of several masters from the corner of his eye, and Kangxi's face turned dark, which was obviously a slap in the face.

"Li Dequan, let Cao Yin come here!" Of course, Kangxi remembered the blueprint of the prince when he was young. After he punished the prince, the empress dowager thought it was a big deal. He didn't pay attention to using the computer, and even felt that Kangxi was deliberately not meeting his requirements.

When Cao Yin heard Li Dequan's summons, he knew in his heart that Kangxi had seen through the plot to surrender to the prince, and Kangxi must be unhappy in his heart.

"Greetings to Lord Long Live!" Cao Yin quickly walked in front of Kangxi and saluted Kangxi respectfully.

"What's the matter with the dragon boat?" Kangxi's eyes were full of flames, and he expressed doubts about Cao Yin's work.

"The slave doesn't know either. It's probably because the people below can't do things well." Cao Yin said hastily, "This is the first time I've seen a dragon boat, and I was also taken aback!"

When Kangxi heard this, he found out that Cao Yin was also in a daze, thinking that the prince bought the slaves here to give himself a chance to show his status.

"Let's not take this as an example. After you have used this dragon boat, don't use it again." Kangxi has always done a good job on the surface. If someone knows that he has such a luxurious dragon boat, he will probably be slapped in the face for a dragon boat race.

Shu Yun has been paying attention to Kangxi's meaning all the time, and found that Kangxi was very annoyed, and understood that the people below had gone too far.

"My lord, is there any significance to this dragon boat?" Shu Yun thought that the shape of the dragon boat was very novel, not quite like a traditional dragon boat. Under the dragon boat, there were five claws floating on the water.

"Long live, can we start?" Li Dequan asked respectfully.

Kangxi glanced around, all the princes and courtiers and their families were seated, and nodded to Li Dequan.

Following Li Dequan's order, all the dragon boats docked on the same line. In front of everyone, there was a croupier pretending to bet. Shu Yun just wanted to place a bet, but was grabbed by Yinzhen.

"Don't bet lightly, those people were all arranged by Huang Ama!" Yinzhen said in a low voice.

Yinzhi directly threw the purse over and asked Dong Egege to choose the dragon boat.

"Master, did you see that the third master placed a bet?!" Shu Yun was taken aback. Didn't Yinzhen say that it's better not to place a bet?

"Little boy, it varies from person to person, and if I don't like it, it doesn't mean everyone doesn't like it!" Yinzhen inserted a piece of fruit to eat, and Shu Yun quickly poured him a cup of tea.

"Master, you should eat less fruit, your lunch is useless!" Shu Yun heard that Kangxi made the princes kneel in the hall, the prince and the third master refused to admit their mistake.

Yinzhen squeezed Shu Yun's little hand, telling her not to say more.

The dragon boat race started, and the drummer was at the bow of the boat, beating loudly. Many people flocked to the lake, cheering for the boats they cast.

Kangxi sat in the bright yellow tent, looking at the front, the princes just sent their trusted servants to check the results.

"Fourth brother, after a while, how about we go to the side of the canal?" Yin Qi felt that it was a little childish, and wanted to go to the place where the quilt was.

"Well, it is said that it will be several days?" Yinzhen also nodded, for these few days, he can stay with Shu Yun and pass by.

"That's great. The Guerjia family also said that they will go with the fourth sister-in-law." Yinqi doesn't mind the relationship between the Guerjia family and Shu Yun. Because of the two girls, Yinzhen The relationship with Yinqi has also become much more harmonious.

"Master," Shu Yun said with some embarrassment.

"Little sister-in-law, the Guerjia family is still a bit of a tiger. If you don't speak well, don't mind!" Yin Qi wanted to find her a step down.

Shu Yun pursed her lips and smiled: "My temperament is also very direct!"

Yinqi laughed out loud, no wonder, the two of them get along very well, but their personalities are somewhat similar.

"Okay, don't talk about it, let's see the result first." Yinzhen shook his head, these two people.

"Master, of course I know!" Shu Yun quickly poured a cup of sour plum soup for Yinzhen, and placed it in front of Yinzhen.
