Chapter 235 Duanyang Chapter Celebration

Chapter 235 Dragon Boat Festival
Ji He carried the brocade box into the Jingchuan Prince's Mansion with a smile. He happened to bump into Ling Buhuo playing swordsmanship casually in the backyard. It was the first time that the little girl saw him holding a sword with ease. She was mesmerized and encouraged unconsciously. Raise your hands.

"Brother Buhuo, that's amazing."

"It's Ji He."

Although Ling Buhuo had a smile on his face, he was not in a good mood. In the morning, Shu Yuan had just returned from Sanhang Academy and heard about Gu Yuchu, so he came to have an awkward moment with him, saying that his sister would never do what he said. The incident that harmed Beiling, but he believed the rumors and threw her into the Dali Temple prison.

Oh, this boy has become more and more courageous since he had a sister!
He has been depressed about this all day. Is he hard-hearted?It's obviously that woman!
"Brother Buhuo, please teach me some other time. I also want to learn martial arts." Ji He stepped forward excitedly with an innocent look on his face, unable to lift the long sword in Ling Buhuo's hand with both hands.

"What do girls do with swords and guns?"

"Sister Ke Yuchu is so awesome."

"The more powerful you are, the more self-righteous and daring you are." Ling Buhuo took the sword from her hand and put it into the scabbard, his tone was very bad.

"Those are all rumors and cannot be believed." The little girl blinked and replied firmly.

"You would be willing to put in a good word for her."

"Of course. Sister Yuchu is so powerful and good-looking. Many people must like her, and I am no exception. If I were gentler, I'm afraid my brother would not be able to escape."

Ji He was very good at talking. He didn't mention anything about the post house, but he grasped the key point. Ling Buhuo's face suddenly darkened.

"Yeah, yeah, I almost forgot. Tomorrow, during the Dragon Boat Festival, I brought rice dumplings to my brother. They are still warm. Do you want to take a bite?"

"Okay." Ling Buhuo quickly collected his emotions and responded.

Ji He carefully pushed aside the rice dumpling leaves and handed them to him. The crystal glutinous rice was mixed with plump red beans, and a refreshing fragrance hit his nostrils.

Ling Buhuo was stunned for a second, then took it and took a bite. It was soft and delicious, with a sweet taste on his lips and teeth, and an endless aftertaste.

"I like red bean rice dumplings the most. They are fragrant and delicious, and the color is beautiful, like plum blossoms blooming in the snow, so I took it upon myself to give these to my brother."

Ji He holds her pink peach cheeks with both hands, bends her star-filled eyes, and a circle of hanging shell petals on the lotus-colored cuffs sways with her smile. Her whole person looks as pink and tender as in June. Be a budding lotus.

"What a coincidence, I only eat red bean and glutinous rice dumplings." Ling Buhuo smiled meaningfully.

"Really!" The girl seemed to be delighted with her intelligence and giggled innocently.

Shu Yuan finished the trouble at Jingchuan Prince's Mansion in the morning and went back to Shu Mansion to explain everything. In the evening, he ran to the post house to find his sister and ask for help.

"Yu Chi Yuchu, what's the matter with you?" He had a stinky face, thrust his hands into his waist, and opened his mouth to scold her.

"Hey, you brat, if you don't take care of yourself for a month, your courage will get fatter." Gu Yuchu reached out to twist his brother's ears, but he dodged him.

"I've only been out for a month, how come such a big thing happened? You don't have any brains. You've been tricked and there's nothing you can do about it?"

"Your uncle is back, but you can make the decision for me!"

"Has Dali Temple tortured you?" Shu Yuan said angrily, but he was very familiar with the ruthless methods of the jailer. He held his sister's shoulders and looked up and down carefully, fearing that something might go wrong.

"With you, big brother, they don't dare to go too far with me." Gu Yuchu's tone was gentle and comforting.

"If he can bear to send you to prison, he is still not a man!" Shu Yuan cursed angrily in a low voice.

"Okay, this matter is very strange. Don't act rashly. I have my own plan."

"Yes." He nodded. In the morning at Jingchuan Palace, Ling Buhuo also gave the same instructions. In the current situation, he did not dare to do anything except talking.

"How about Xiaofan?"

"I follow Xuan Lai every day, doing all kinds of things to please, and I'm very busy."

"Where's Lejia Pengkang?"

"Xuan Lai has connected his meridians and can barely move around, but he can't lift it with his hands or carry it on his shoulders. He will no longer be able to practice martial arts. He looks a little sluggish and has lost a lot of his anger. I don't know whether it's true or not. But with Gu Fan watching, nothing will happen for the time being."

Gu Yuchu felt bad after hearing this. She was too cruel to this young man, but what could be done? Everyone has to pay the price for their mistakes, even children.

"Okay, let's go back. I still have to patrol, and we have to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival tomorrow."

"Good sister, you promised me that you won't change."

He didn't believe Xunying's rumors.

But he was still afraid of being one in ten thousand. He and his sister stood on opposite ends of the cliff, one unable to cross and the other unable to come back.

"Of course not." Gu Yuchu knew the worry and uneasiness in this kid's heart, so he gave feedback with the greatest affirmation. How could she change? In fact, even if she wanted to, she could never look back.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, there is a grand celebration in Beiling State. In addition to Ziyan Palace giving rice dumplings to everyone, there is also a grand annual dragon boat race on Fairy Lake in the south of Yunjing City in the afternoon.

This year's Huishi Zongmi was personally supervised by Ouchi again 18 years after the disappearance of Queen Beiling. King Lao Ling followed Princess Helan's suggestion and specifically ordered Shan Mingxi to host it, with Princess Yanfeng and Yanyang assisting.

The significance of the future Crown Princess presiding over the ceremony that should have been handled by the Central Palace is self-evident. In addition, the suspicion of General Yuesheng has not been eliminated, implicating the Jingchuan Palace, and the courtiers have more confidence in the Crown Prince's succession.

Because of this, Ji Huan gained more and more attention from Ling Ziyu due to the encouragement of Princess Helan. Even though the Blackwater Tribe case was pending, it did not affect his flourishing career.

Shan Mingxi naturally knew the intention, but she couldn't resist, and her attitude towards Ling Ziyu, which had improved slightly, suddenly turned bad again.

The afternoon dragon boat race is an annual feast for all the people of Beiling Kingdom. In addition to the royal pavilion dragon boats and the private boats of various officials, there are also some merchant flower boats specially approved by the imperial court, providing seats and drinks for tourists to watch. , ordinary people and fishing boats crowded together in small groups, spreading peanuts, cakes, and tea, and they were very happy.

In addition, the curfew was lifted on the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival, and various tea shops took up favorable positions on the shore before midnight. There were endless red and eye-catching signboards, and pedestrians rubbed shoulders, making it very lively.

Although the Blackwater Eleven Division attends such festivals every year, they have not participated in this kind of festival a few times.This year, due to delays in the surrender negotiations and the murder, in order to appease their emotions, King Lao Ling treated them as first-class guests and arranged to watch the race on the same boat as the royal family.

Gu Yuchu was responsible for their safety. He and the guards of Ziyan Palace inspected the royal area early, and then followed the Blackwater Tribe to the banquet.

Although this viewing platform is a boat, it has been specially modified so that only the side facing the lake is equipped with seats. The boat has a roof and canopy, but is transparent from all sides. The hull only has dragon pillars and railings to ensure a wide field of vision.

The eleven Blackwater clans were numerous in number and were arranged independently on a large ship, clustered on the right side of the main dragon ship ten meters away.

Although the main dragon boat was large, in order to avoid turning the festive banquet into a court party, King Lao Ling did not invite the courtiers to board the main boat. He was only accompanied by clan members, children, and a few concubines from the harem.Under the patronage of Princess Helan, she actually sat on the table on the left side of the throne that belonged to King Fucheng, which was close to the dragon chair, which showed her great favor.

The King and Princess of Fucheng, who were implicated in the Blackwater Tribe incident, kept a low profile and did not show any dissatisfaction. They only took the twins to have tea and watch the scenery without saying much. After the eldest daughter Yu Bai got married, she naturally wanted to marry him. The husband's family was on the same boat and was not among them.

Ling Ziyu used the emperor's order to summon Shan Mingxi from Shan's private boat and invited her to sit with him. Although Shan Mingxi was reluctant, she still tolerated such an occasion and sat down after bowing properly.

The little prince Ling Zisu even helped his elder brother to prepare the meal and pour the wine for her with a smile.

"Sister Mingxi, Brother Prince specially ordered the imperial chef to make some more of your favorite snacks."

"I was very full at lunch." Even if His Highness is harmless to humans and animals, she will not appreciate him as long as he is Ling Ziyu's lobbyist.

Ling Zisu curled his lips aggrievedly and tugged on Prince Ling's sleeve. Ling Ziyu seemed to be used to it and didn't care, and touched his brother's head.

Shan Mingxi's eyes unconsciously drifted to Ling Buhuo's table. Ji He was sitting with him and was handing him a sachet, as if he had embroidered it himself.

"You see, although my cousin is young, she has big thoughts. The sachet she embroidered by herself and matched with her own clothes was given to my brother. The meaning is obvious. It's a pity for me. We obviously have a legitimate marriage contract with you. I am here, but I have never received a gift from you personally." Ling Ziyu said in Shan Mingxi's ear.

"You want the sachet I embroidered?" she asked.

"of course."

"In the next life." Shan Mingxi said softly with a smile. If they didn't listen to this content, others would think they were so close.

"Hahahahahahahaha" Ling Ziyu didn't care at all and laughed heartily.

Gu Yuchu stood on the deck near the main dragon boat and heard faint laughter. He couldn't help but follow the sound out of curiosity. He saw Ji He, smiling like a flower, tying the sachet for Ling Buhuo. For a moment, he felt really bad.

Just as he was about to turn his head, Ji He looked up and spotted her. He stood up and waved the handkerchief to her happily, and she could only smile and nod in response.At this time, Ling Buhuo met her eyes and quickly moved away. Her smile froze in the bright midday sun.

"Sister Yu Chu is dressed in military uniform, she is really chic." Ji He Buhuo praised, but Ling Buhuo seemed to have heard nothing, lowered his head and squeezed the sachet embroidered with two flying swallows, and these Princess Helan saw In his eyes, the corners of his mouth curled up with satisfaction.

There were thunderous shouts not far away, and the eleven teams preparing for the ferry rowed their warships and began to warm up.

"I heard that there will be 66 teams competing today. There will be six rounds to determine the top six, and then there will be two races. No. 1 will get a red gold dragon boat paperweight and a hundred taels of gold given by the king." Noda didn't know. When did I get off the table and onto the deck.

"Beiling has a total of 370 five counties, which belong to 66 states and counties. Each state and county has a team. The competition is naturally fierce." Gu Yuchu picked up the kettle on her waist and took a sip. The hot sun really made her feel a little bit. Unable to bear it, sweat dripped from her hair, which was tied up high, and flowed down her cheeks.

Nuoda took out a handkerchief from her waist and raised her hand to wipe it with her. Gu Yuchu instinctively dodged, so he took the handkerchief sheepishly and started to do it himself.

"Thank you. I'll wash the veil and give it back to you."

"Yu Chu, please be polite to me." Nuoda had gentle eyes and a loving smile on his lips. He raised his eyes and unexpectedly met Ling Buhuo's cold and hostile gaze not far away. He didn't take it seriously and led Gu Yuchu to a cool place on the slipway.

"Why doesn't Hehe have a racing team this year?"

Gu Yuchu glanced at him sideways and replied: "We have just surrendered, and the people are still resentful, so don't worry for a while. Besides, the 66 teams are well arranged, so there is no point in barging in. Unlike you, the Eleven Blackwater Clan, , I can even play a game myself.”

"Maybe next year you and I can form a team, I don't know." Noda came closer and joked.

Gu Yuchu rolled his eyes and said nothing.At this time, the long horn sounded, the first round of the ferry race began, and the temporary stakes on the shore were also raised.

Dragon boats of various colors set off, with the sound of raindrop drums, neat chants, splashing water, corner flags fluttering in the wind, and the colorful ribbons tied on the boat's heads as if they were exerting force along with their bodies.

The crowd on the shore was equally nervous, with every inch of skin on their faces tense. Their eyes focused on the distance between each dragon boat, until the dragon head of the first dragon boat bit the colorful ball at the end. The shore and victory The same color as the dragon boat and the curtains embroidered with local symbols were hung high, heralding the victory in the first round.

Immediately afterwards, the remaining five preliminary rounds began one after another. In the end, six curtains of different colors were lined up, with a blooming velvet lotus on the top of the curtain. According to tradition, the final team was selected, except for the water race. , and the whole team must use their strength to climb up the mast and take down the lotus to win the championship.

Although it is the preliminary race, the boatmen are also physically exhausted. In order to ensure the excitement of the final, there will be a period of resting time.

So the surface of Fairy Lake was given over to a huge flower boat, which is also another reserved song and dance program of Beiling Duanyang Festival, commonly known as "Fairy Mu Fan".

On the flower boat, the drums sounded, and the dancers dressed as fairies rose up in the wind, their bright dance skirts rising like smoke, graceful and charming.Then, more than 20 fishing boats in the shape of koi spitting out lotus flowers approached the main flower boat from all directions, taking over the "fairy" dance alone. Finally, the lotus stage on the flower boat bloomed, and a huge red koi rose up, and a A fairy in white stands on the lips of the koi with one leg and dances with other fairies.

The people on the shore watched intently. Only once a year can they feast their eyes on the divine music and beauty that can only be found in the palace.

"Aunt Helan is really amazing. Although she only sings and dances, what she does each year is unique and innovative. It's like a fairyland."

Yanyang flattered her and said that her mother died young due to crime. Although she was a princess and had never been treated harshly, she always felt fearful. Therefore, she knew how to cling to and flatter her since she was a child. Aunt Helan is now favored by the king. She Naturally, he would not miss such a good opportunity.

When Yanfeng heard this, he snorted with a look of disdain.

"Your Aunt Helan does have some ideas about rituals." Old King Ling nodded in approval. "Brother, you are so complimentary. I am an idler. I like to think about singing and dancing and playing matchmakers on weekdays. I am quite happy." Although Princess Helan's mouth was modest, her eyes were full of pride.

"Speaking of the female matchmakers here, Yanyang and Yanfeng have also reached the age where they are about to get married. As an aunt, you should pay more attention to them."

"Hey, the marriage of the two princesses can be regarded as a state matter. How dare I comment on it casually?"

"Oh, I heard that a few days ago, the eldest granddaughter of Duke Hongchang married Tong Xu, the newly promoted military governor of Yongzhou, and was she your matchmaker?" King Beiling looked at his imperial sister with interest.

"Yes, the eldest granddaughter of the old Duke is smart and quiet, and Tong Xu is young and promising. She is considered a good match."

Princess Helan seemed to be panicking. This happy event was true for her, but it was not that simple. She had promised the old prince never to mention it to anyone, but now Old King Ling knew clearly. It made her heart tremble slightly.

Old King Ling stared at her for a long time without saying anything, then smiled: "Tong Xu is not bad, but the bitter cold land of Yongzhou has wronged the girl from the Duke's Mansion."

Princess Helan laughed awkwardly, not knowing how to answer, but Yanfeng's intervention inadvertently eased the atmosphere and helped her out.

"Sister Yanyang has a beautiful heart and a kind heart, so naturally she wants to marry into a family with a good family and good character."

"Oh, you're busy worrying about others, what about yourself?" Old King Ling looked at his naughty daughter and said with a smile.

"My son is still young, so don't worry. If my father doesn't dislike me, I am willing to stay with my father for the rest of my life."

"Live in the palace all your life?" Old King Ling frowned, and Yan Feng trembled in fright. Then he paused and joked with a smile, "It's the beauty you want."

After hearing this, Yanfeng breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little embarrassed. The others also laughed. Yanyang saw that she was not amused and glared at her mockingly.

"You two, one is willful, the other is arrogant, and you quarrel and quarrel fiercely even if you have nothing to do. It is better to get married early. If you stay in the palace, you will have a lot of headaches." Although the old King Ling was doting, he was thoughtful Something pointed out.

Even if Yanfeng broke into the Dali Temple jail, he would not change his name or surname. He didn't think it was a big deal, but Yanyang pursed her lips with a guilty conscience.

Last time, she deliberately spread the news that Taihua Dao had met General Yuesheng, which aroused different opinions and spread rumors. Her father had already reprimanded her once, and now that he said this to her in front of everyone, she couldn't help but feel even more frightened.

Fortunately, during the break of the race, ministers of the third rank and above from other boats successively asked for congratulations on the health of the Dragon Boat Festival, which distracted everyone's attention.

There were many empty seats in the dragon boats on the left and right. King Lao Ling allowed them to sit down. Suddenly, the originally empty table became lively.

"Reporting to the throne, the eleven clan leaders of the Blackwater Tribe request a toast from the boat." The general of the imperial guards on the deck personally sent a message.

"Yes." Old King Ling seemed to be in a good mood.

As a result, wide and strong springboards were set up on the decks of the main dragon boat and the side boats, and the clan leaders of the eleven Blackwater tribes boarded the boats one after another.The Tulang tribe was originally a small tribe, and since Nuoda was the least qualified, he was naturally the last one.

However, there were only a few people left who had to cross the ten-meter springboard. A stone flew out from the darkness and hit the right knee of Mo Yidun, the new leader of the Tatchi tribe in front. He staggered back a few steps and bumped into Nuoda behind him.

Nuoda instinctively reached out to help him, but he seemed to be deeply prejudiced against him and did not want to be helped, so he pushed hard. As a result, Nuoda lost his footing and fell off the springboard. Fortunately, Gu Yuchu had quick eyes and quick hands, and flew down and hugged him. Nuoda's waist rose from the water and landed steadily on the deck of the main dragon ship.

Only the hem of Nuoda's robe was slightly stained with water, so it was not inappropriate to meet Shengyan. He did not say much thank you, but just gave Gu Yuchu a bright smile, which made the relationship between the two of them different from ordinary people.

The clan leaders of the Blackwater Tribe couldn't help but gasped when they saw General Yuesheng's Qinggong skills. If she was really an assassin, and she was now staying in the inn, flying over eaves and walls when the moon was high, wouldn't it be too easy to break into houses and kill people?

"Wow, the rumors are true. Sister Yuchu's martial arts is so good. It's such a pity that I didn't go to the polo show last time!" Ling Zisu opened his mouth wide and praised Ji He, and Ji He was also displeased. Live nodded.

Ling Buhuo's face was livid. He could clearly see the intimacy between the two of them just now, so he turned his head and drank a glass of wine alone, but then he saw that guy Ling Ziyu winking at him with evil intentions, and he felt even more angry.

After the Blackwater Tribe paid their respects and Yiying showed his loyalty, King Lao Ling perhaps stayed to watch the game among the eleven tribes.

But before the heads of the eleven clans could sit down, King Lao Ling paid special attention to Nuo Da's health in front of everyone.

"I heard that Noda has been feeling unwell recently, but is he feeling well now? It would be better if he didn't miss the ceremony."

As soon as these words came out, the hearts of the other leaders of the ten tribes were ups and downs. King Lao Ling valued Nuoda so much. Could he have some new plans?Or maybe Noda was a blessing in disguise, a prison sentence in exchange for the Holy Driver's trust?

"Thank you for your concern, your Majesty. It's just a case of acclimatization and a cold. It's already fine." Nuoda was humble and found an excuse to cover up the rumors about Dali Temple in front of everyone. Old King Ling nodded and expressed great satisfaction. .

The seats on the dragon boat all face the lake. Except for the dragon, which is leaning on a high platform in the center, the other five or four people sit in a semicircle, arranged in two rows. After Noda thanked him, he found that it was really difficult to decide where to sit.

The royal family member in the front row has an extraordinary status, and of course he cannot overstep it.But the five seats in the back row were full, and the heads of the ten tribes were neatly divided into two seats. Among them, there was no place for him for a long time.

Just when he was hesitating, Ling Buhuo and the maid beside him said something to the palace man. The palace man nodded and walked towards Nuoda, leading him to sit down in the four seats where Ling Buhuo and Ji He were sitting.

"Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, so of course the century-old secret realgar wine is indispensable. My dear friends, there is no need to be polite. This wine is enough for today!"

"Thank you for your kindness." The ministers raised their glasses to thank you.

"By the way, this is the lotus seed dew from the palace. It is the most gentle and effective in clearing away heat and detoxifying. Nuoda is not feeling well. Please give it a try." King Lao Ling did not hesitate to give this to Nuoda. He was so "honored and favored" " On the surface, he burst into tears of gratitude, but in his heart he couldn't bear it.

Especially when he was invited to sit at the same table with King Jingchuan and the other ten clans all sat behind Prince Ling, his abruptness and defection were even more apparent.

He was not shy and had never seen the world. He toasted a glass of wine to King Jingchuan indifferently. Although the two of them looked at each other and raised their glasses, they were indifferent and indifferent.

"The weather is extremely hot, why not let the generals on duty come in and have a sip of herbal tea." Princess Helan suggested.

"Yes." Old King Ling agreed immediately without hesitation.

Immediately afterwards, General Nian, the commander of the imperial guard, and Gu Yuchu, dressed in military uniforms, met the holy face and took the order to the table.

"Today is a festive day. The generals will find seats they are familiar with and sit down. The final race is about to begin." Princess Helan greeted kindly.

"Thank you for the throne, and thank you for Princess Helan." The two of them bowed and retreated to their seats.

General Nian had an old friend who he knew well, so he greeted him and took a seat quickly.

Yanfeng also waved to Gu Yuchu. She was sitting at the same table with Yan Yang and Ji Huan, and there was an empty seat next to her. However, Gu Yuchu walked just a few steps toward her, and Ling Zisu suddenly ran over from Ling Ziyu's seat and occupied it by force. Location.

"What are you doing!" Yan Feng stared at his younger brother and asked.

"Brother Prince dislikes me for talking too much and disturbing his precious moment with sister Mingxi." Ling Zisu's face was filled with grievances.

"Be good, sit next to sister." When Yanyang heard what Ling Ziyu meant, he quickly hugged Ling Zisu and refused to let go.

Gu Yuchu sighed inwardly. Apart from Ling Buhuo's table, only Ling Ziyu's table had two vacancies. But she couldn't be so blind that she wanted to challenge him and Ming Xi, but the remaining table was occupied by her. I don’t even want to face it.

"Sister Yu Chu, come here!" Ji He, who was sitting next to him, took the initiative to stand up and took Gu Yuchu's hand to join them. She couldn't refuse, so she had to sit side by side with Nuo Da as Yan Feng watched reluctantly. sit.

"Is this the situation you created on purpose?" Not far away, Shan Mingxi asked Ling Ziyu, who was waiting for a good show, with sideways eyes.

Prince Ling shook his shoulders and admitted generously: "I said that brother is not a very good person, just watch."

"Extremely boring!"

Gu Yuchu did not put on any makeup and had been exposed to the noon sun for a long time. Her cheeks were red and her forehead was covered with sweat. She was very embarrassed. She looked nothing like Ji He, who was dressed up to attend the event, young and pink, with exquisite makeup.

Feeling a little disgraceful, she took out the handkerchief Nuoda had just given her, lowered her head and quickly wiped the sweat from her face, but when she raised her head, Nuoda had already poured a cup of herbal tea for her.

"This realgar wine is really good, but you have business matters, so you shouldn't drink alcohol. Drink some herbal tea to relieve the heat."

"Thank you." Gu Yuchu couldn't accept such kindness, and couldn't refuse it. He could only say thank you politely, raising the cup with one hand and holding the handkerchief with the other.

Ling Buhuo caught a glimpse of the Tulang tribe's totem embroidery on the handkerchief, and the fire in his heart jumped up again, so he spoke in a strange tone, half-mentioning the embarrassment of Gu Yuchu being drunk in the Suo Xing Palace.

"I'm afraid Noda has never seen someone who can walk on flat ground even after drinking half the wine cellar."

"Who else can be so powerful besides the prince brother!" Ji He asked with wide eyes.

Gu Yuchu naturally knew who he was talking about, so he touched his nose awkwardly, pretending that it had nothing to do with him and that he didn't hear anything.

"Prince Jingchuan and Crown Prince Ling are from the same mother, so naturally they drink as much as the Crown Prince." Nuoda answered with a smile.

"Brother Buhu, is it true?" Ji He narrowed his eyes and asked, pulling on his sleeve.

"Eat cake." Ling Buhuo changed the topic, twisting a piece of mung bean cake to block the chatter of the little girl beside him who was full of questions.

Ji He shrank his neck and blinked his eyes mischievously, enjoying this special kind of kiss.Gu Yuchu quietly glanced at Lang Qingconcubine beside him, raised his eyebrows and swallowed a red bean rice dumpling raw in three or two mouthfuls.

"Are you hungry?" Nuoda asked with concern, pushing aside the leaves of his portion of red date rice dumpling and handing it to her.

Gu Yuchu quickly waved his hand: "I only like to eat red beans."

Ji He's heart sank when he heard this. He lowered his head and fiddled with the pastries on the plate. Ling Buhuo's mouth moved slightly, and he was very satisfied with her rejection.

"You just get used to it. If you try something else occasionally, maybe the taste will change." Noda still insisted, and his words seemed to have other meanings.

Gu Yuchu thought of the scene where Ling Buhuo handed over the cake just now, so he took the cake and took a bite.

"It's pretty good." She praised it while holding back her mouthful of non-resistance and she really didn't like the sweetness.

"Paired with this lotus seed tea, it will be even more refreshing." Nuoda showed constant care and concern as if making trouble, which made Gu Yuchu dumbfounded.

"There is also a custom of eating rice dumplings on Dragon Boat Festival in Heishui area? You seem to understand very well." Ling Buhuo said angrily.

"King Jingchuan is so complimentary. Although customs and customs vary from place to place, when it comes to eating, as long as you have your mouth and your heart, you can always tell the difference."

Regarding Nuoda's answer, Gu Yuchu nodded in agreement and ate another rice dumpling in two or three mouthfuls.

"How many days have you not eaten?!" Ling Buhuo asked her with a frown.

Without waiting for Gu Yuchu's response, he handed over his untouched red bean rice dumpling.

"I have some here too! Sister Yuchu is really hard on patrol." Ji He also handed her the rice dumplings on his plate.

Now she's done. She's already eaten two. If she eats Nuo Da's and not Ling Buluzhu's, she may not know what troubles are waiting for her later. But after eating Ling Buluzhu's, Ji He's naturally can't either. reject.

So, throughout the most intense dragon boat race, she was almost in no mood to watch the race, so she bit the bullet and killed those two "good intentions".

Afterwards, amid the thunderous cheers of Fairy Lake, the leader of the boat race, with war drums like rain, slowly sailed to the main dragon boat and waited for the old King Ling to hand out the award.

Gu Yuchu held his dilated belly and endured the feeling of fullness. He took the opportunity to leave the dangerous table and stepped into the scorching sun. He arranged for his men to guard the dragon boat to prevent any accidents.
