Chapter 587 The Game Begins

Ruosu washed his face, got up and saw her standing there stupidly, and walked over, "What's wrong with you?"

Shen Weilan was startled by her voice, grabbed Ruosu's arm, and said anxiously: "I don't care what method you use, just pass the message to him for me. If you attend the dragon boat race today, you must wear a mask!"

Ruosu looked around and found that no one was paying attention to the two of them, so he nodded slowly.

Only then did Shen Weilan heave a sigh of relief, and raised her hand to wipe the cold sweat on her forehead, which really scared her to death. Fortunately, she remembered that when Xuan Chen appeared yesterday, he wore a mask on his face, and only then could he think of a solution .

After freshening up, she changed into the clothes she gave out yesterday, and tied the ribbon on her forehead. After breakfast, she came down to the bed tent of the third princess under the guidance of Nanny Zhou, and greeted the third princess in the same attire from the bed. He came out of the tent, surrounded by the princess and came down to the river.

Everyone found the dragon boat in their mansion. This dragon boat was painted with red scales, which was very conspicuous among the dragon boats. The logo of "Three Princess Mansion" was carved on the ship's side.

On weekdays, these dragon boats are stored in nearby warehouses and are kept by the people from the Ministry of Rites. They will only be used on this day.

Shen Weilan took a special look at the river surface, and was a little surprised to find that the painting boat that parked here arrogantly yesterday had disappeared.

She thought for a while, turned her face and glanced at the river bank, and saw that not far from the river bank, a high stand was set up, like a stage. The stand was about thirty feet long, and it was full of people. tables and chairs.

At this time, there were already officials and family members who had come earlier, sitting there talking in twos and threes.

Her eyes were good, and she took a quick look at the situation in the stands, but she didn't notice the existence of Xuan Chen.

At this moment, Ruosu who was standing beside her suddenly touched her arm lightly, she turned her face to look at Ruosu, and saw Ruosu looked at the other side of the river as if nothing had happened.

She instinctively followed Ruosu's line of sight, only to find that some people on the other side of the river were busy building a tent.

She couldn't help laughing, that guy Xuan Chen is really arrogant!
A few young eunuchs were guarding a large slender box. The lid of the box was opened, and inside were a bunch of oars. The oars were all new and neatly stacked.

Most of the maids in the Three Princess Mansion had participated in this competition last year, knowing the rules, they lined up and received the oars one by one from a little eunuch who was in charge of distributing the oars.

"Third Sister, I really admire your cheekiness. Someone threw you off the boat. You still have the cheek to participate in the competition today. If I were you, I might just find a hole in the ground and get in." Everyone was about to get on the dragon boat. A harsh voice was heard.

Everyone turned their heads and saw that the eighth princess appeared in front of everyone in bright water-red attire leading a large group of maidservants.

"Who should I be? It turns out to be the eighth younger sister!" The third princess squinted at her with two slit-like eyes. "If the eighth younger sister didn't show up, I still can't remember it, and I don't know who it was yesterday. She rushed to throw herself into the arms of Mr. Ouyang, and refused to leave on his boat, but Mr. Ouyang let her go I was rushed back."

She heard the news from the mother's mother last night about this matter, and she almost died laughing at that time.

She originally thought that Ouyang Xiaobai had taken a fancy to Bamei, so she left Bamei on the boat, but she didn't expect Bamei to be affectionate on her own.

So, she swept away her depressed mood and decided to perform well today, she must get the first place, so as to win the reward from her father.

Every year in the dragon boat race, the emperor will present excellent things and reward the person who wins the first place.

The eighth princess was exposed by her, but she remained calm, just sneered, and said: "Sanjie, do you want to make a bet with me?"

The third princess couldn't help showing a mean look when she heard her mentioning the betting again, "Your little one has lost half of his teeth, I'm not interested in him."

As for Xiao Gu who threw himself into the river, she had long forgotten about it.

A man is just a toy!

A woman like her will definitely forget her old love when she has a new love!

"It's not him I'm talking about." The eighth princess smiled mockingly, and then said lightly. "I'm talking about Mr. Ouyang. In order to prevent Mr. Ouyang from being harassed by you again, I decided to make a bet with you. If you lose, you will not be allowed to appear in front of Mr. Ouyang again in the future!"

She looked at the face of the third princess who was gradually becoming a bit iron-blue, showing an arrogant expression, "What? Don't you dare to gamble? When did the third sister become so timid?"

"Who said that our third princess dare not gamble anymore? Our third princess is just worried. If the eighth princess loses, will the eighth princess abide by the agreement and never appear in front of Mr. Ouyang again in this life?" Shen Weilan, when she saw these two stupid women betting with Xuan Chen, she was so angry that she couldn't help standing up to speak for the third princess.

She didn't really want to speak for the third princess, but she wanted to control the mansion of the third princess secretly, so she had to gain the favor of the third princess.

She wanted to use Xiao Gu before, but the bastard Xiao Gu found a chance to escape, so she could only rely on herself.

The third princess was very satisfied with what she said, and nodded heavily upon hearing the words, and at the same time glanced at her appreciatively, thinking to herself, this girl is quite sensible.

The eighth princess didn't recognize her. In the noble eyes of the eighth princess, there were only two kinds of people. One was someone with similar status to her, and the other was a handsome young man.

For a girl, especially a young and beautiful girl, she would never pay attention to her.

Before the eighth princess could speak, Hui Xian, the maidservant next to the eighth princess, had already stood up, pointed at Shen Weilan and said, "What are you? Are there any rules in the third princess's mansion? The servants dare to mess up when the master speaks." Cut in!"

Shen Weilan's expression suddenly became a little ugly. In fact, what Huixian said was good. There was no room for servants to intervene when the master spoke. She just wanted to seize an opportunity to attract the attention of the third princess to her, so as to win the attention of the three princesses. Princess' favor.

Seeing that the girl who spoke for her was criticized by Huixian, the third princess hurriedly pointed at her and said, "What kind of thing are you? The master hasn't spoken yet, why do you need to bark here? Nanny Jin, go, give me a slap in the face !"

"Yes!" Jin Nai said, stepped forward, raised her hand high, and was about to slap Hui Xian.

Huixian is the most trusted servant girl around the eighth princess, how can the eighth princess watch her being beaten?So the eighth princess hurriedly stepped forward, stood in front of Hui Xian, stopped Jin Nam No, I should teach her myself, there is no need for people from other houses to send her away for me!"

The atmosphere between the two sides suddenly became tense, and Mother Jin naturally did not dare to do anything to the eighth princess, so she had to retreat.

At this moment, a lazy voice sounded, "What's the matter with the two sisters? They started fighting before they entered the water. If there is any grievance, let's talk about it after entering the water."

Everyone turned their heads to look, and saw the seventh princess leading the maid from her mansion coming over. The seventh princess was dressed in pink, and her long black hair was braided into a braid, tied on top of her head, and covered with a scarf. Wrapped in a handkerchief, it looks very heroic.

The third princess narrowed her slender eyes slightly when she heard the words, "Seventh Sister is right, what kind of grievances do you have, let's talk about it after getting into the water!"

As she spoke, she raised her thick arms and waved, "Come on, let's get on the boat!"

Someone had already prepared the dragon boat for the Three Princess Mansion, and the Three Princess was the first to jump on it.

Shen Weilan watched the waterline of the dragon boat sank all of a sudden, and couldn't help but feel sad for this dragon boat. The three princesses alone were heavier than the three girls combined.

With the three princesses standing on the bow, it is good that the ship does not sink!

However, she was not idle, she took a paddle from the little eunuch, and boarded the dragon boat.

There are two rows of seats on the narrow dragon boat, each with twenty seats, for a total of forty seats.

Everyone filed up, Xiaoxi got on the dragon boat first, took a seat, then waved to Shen Weilan, "Xiang'er, come and sit with me, I will protect you later!"

"Protection?" Shen Weilan was a little puzzled, but after thinking about it, she sat with her, and Ruosu sat behind her.

She asked Xiaoxi curiously, "Why do you say protect me?"

"Because the fight will be very intense later!" Xiaoxi said naturally.

"The fight was intense?" Shen Weilan was even more puzzled. "Didn't it mean the dragon boat race? How could it be so fierce? Are there still fights?"

Xiao Xi looked at her like a monster, "So you really don't know anything, it's like this, when we move forward later, we can attack each other!"

"Ah?" Shen Weilan's eyes widened in disbelief. "Attack each other? Then... what if someone dies?"

"Then it's bad luck!" Xiaoxi said indifferently.

The corner of Shen Weilan's mouth twitched slightly, she couldn't understand, why did this seemingly innocent girl say so lightly about the matter of life and death?
Ruosu explained to her softly from behind: "This is the custom of the Beichen Kingdom. During the dragon boat race, you can attack each other and use the method of hindering the other party to win the championship. Even if you lose your life, it is within the allowed range." Yes, and each gambling house will place bets on how many people will die in each dragon boat race."

The faces of the seventh princess and the eighth princess froze at the same time when they heard the words. The seventh princess glared at Shen Weilan coldly, turned her face to look at the third princess and said, "Third sister, how do you teach the servants in your house? What did the master say?" , when will it be the servant's turn to interrupt?"

The eighth princess sneered at the side, and said: "Seventh sister, don't you know? The third sister's house has always been so unruly, and the girls in their house have become so smart!"
