peasant girl allure

Chapter 539
After more than half a month, the Dragon Boat Festival has come, which many people look forward to day and night.

On this day, the weather was fine and the sun was warm, and the embankments on both sides of the bank were full of people.

Because the five princesses and Princess Wanru also participated in the competition, the emperor, queen mother, and empress all came to watch the competition on the Huaijiang Bridge.

This is the emperor's only princess, baby!
Moreover, the fifth princess also threatened to take the ranking, saying that they rowed very well, no worse than those men, which made the older and restless queen mother want to watch.

In the middle of the Huaijiang Bridge, a platform and a sunshade were set up, on which sat the three most honorable people in the world.

Behind them stood a palace lady each, fanning them with round fans.

The fifth princess sat at the front of the dragon boat, looked back to the bridge, and waved in the direction where the emperor and the others were.

The queen mother hurriedly waved her hand in response: "The fifth girl is really beautiful in her outfit today, she looks energetic!"

"It's not a man or a woman, how can it be beautiful!" Although the emperor said this, he felt that his daughter was good-looking in his heart.

The queen mother glanced at the arrogant emperor, but did not expose him.

The horn sounded and the dragon boat race began.

When the horn sounded, Uncle Cai, who was standing at the bow, beat the drum immediately.

The fifth princess quickly sat down, and instinctively began to paddle.

Xiao'er and the others listened to the sound of the drum in unison, and began to row the oars rhythmically, their posture was not inferior to those men at all.

Although many of the men's dragon boats surpassed them quickly, they only followed the rhythm of Uncle Cai's drumming, taking their time.

There is a little red among the green bushes, and the Women's Army is the most eye-catching.

The queen mother looked at the dragon boat of the fifth princess and the others, and said happily: "I didn't expect these delicate girls to really know how to row a dragon boat. Their posture is not inferior to that of a man!"

The emperor nodded after hearing this: "That's right, the movements are uniform, but the speed is not as fast as the man's. After all, it's a girl, and the strength is not enough."

What's wrong with the girl!The queen mother straightened her waist: "This speed is not slow! Ai Jia thinks that he will definitely win the ranking!"

The emperor didn't speak any more, the rowing became more and more difficult as it got further to the back, it would be fine if they persisted and rowed to the finish line.

The queen mother didn't speak anymore, she concentrated on watching the women's army, and said silently: Come on, we must get the ranking.

The three dragon boats led by Shangguan Xuanyi, Shangguan Xuanjun, and Di Shaowei advanced side by side with a gap that was hard to distinguish with the naked eye.

Cheers, yells, and drums sounded everywhere, and the scene was lively.

Liu Zhiwen, Liu Zhiwu, and Tan Shi yelled cheers on the shore regardless of their appearance, well, anyway, few people in the imperial capital knew each other, so they turned around and returned to Shengping County, no matter how shameful it is!
Halfway through the waterway, Xiao'er and the others are firmly in the last place.

It lagged behind other dragon boats by more than half the hull.

"It's already halfway through, the princesses and the others are a bit uncertain about their ranking!" The emperor stroked his beard and said.

"How can you grow others' aspirations and destroy your own prestige! It's only halfway through, how does the emperor know that he can't get the ranking!" The queen mother said angrily.

Isn't that obvious?The further you get to the back, the more tired you will be, and your strength is almost exhausted. Now that you are so far behind, how can you get the ranking? No, the bottom one is also the ranking!It's just that the emperor dared not say this to the queen mother who seemed to have participated in the competition herself.

The emperor caressed the dragon's beard. Only women and villains can raise it. Well, old women are more difficult to raise, which is unreasonable.

Halfway through the game, Uncle Cai began to beat the drums faster.

Xiao'er and the others also accelerated their movements, and the dragon boat began to speed up. Slowly, slowly, the dragon's head began to surpass some of the boats.

When the dragon boat of the eldest son of Enbo Mansion was overtaken, the eldest son almost forgot to move, what a hell!

When others are getting slower and slower, why are they getting faster and faster!

Soon they changed from the bottom one to the bottom two, and then the bottom three...

The Queen Mother stood up excitedly!

"Your Majesty, Aijia's eyesight is not good, do you think it has surpassed it? Isn't it the last one?"

The emperor was taken aback by the Queen Mother's actions, "Queen Mother, it is surpassed, not the last one, you should sit down quickly!"

This is a platform built on the bridge, what if the Queen Mother gets too excited and falls into the river!
"No, I can't see clearly while sitting!" The queen mother stood up, holding on to the guardrail, wishing she could lie down on it.

The palace maid carefully supported her behind her.

"The concubine will tell the queen in a while, what rankings the princess and princess have taken, the queen mother should sit down!" The emperor was also nervous.

"No, Aijia has to watch it for herself." She came to see her granddaughter and granddaughters rowing dragon boats, and she sat there waiting for others to tell her, so why did she come out?If she wanted to know, someone would tell her while sitting in the Compassionate Ning Palace.

Your Majesty, the Empress is powerless, this is on the bridge!Queen Mother, are you so excited that you are not afraid of rolling into the river?
Her old man is not afraid, they are afraid!

The queen could only signal the maids behind her to take care of the queen mother.

The officials on the bridge and the common people on both sides rubbed their eyes.

"Isn't the Women's Legion the last one?"

"Is it the last one, or the second last one!" Someone said disapprovingly.

What's so interesting about women participating in dragon boat races, they don't have any strength at all, how about their dying struggles?

He only focused on the three dragon boats fighting for world supremacy in front of him, it was just too exciting!
"No, it's not the second-to-last! It's the third-to-last!"

"The third from the bottom, why are you so excited? Isn't it also from the bottom?"

"I think they're getting faster and faster."

"What are you kidding!" The man heard this, as if he had heard something from the Arabian Nights.

Only then did he turn his eyes reluctantly from the heroes fighting for supremacy in front to the dying struggle behind.

"Hey, it seems to be getting faster and faster! How is this possible." He couldn't help but rubbed his eyes, thinking he was wrong.

"It's really getting faster and faster. Is this bloody?"

Xiao'er and the others started paddling desperately, everyone's foreheads were covered with a fine layer of sweat, they gritted their teeth, paddling to the rhythm of the drums!
Everyone silently said: "Fifth! Fifth!..."

There are a total of ten dragon boats competing together, and only five are taken. Xiaoer and the others only need to surpass four dragon boats to get a ranking. At this time, they have surpassed the third one, and they will achieve their goal if they are one more short up!
The dragon boat that was overtaken by the women's army was so frightened that it used all its strength!
They are struggling to catch up, but they can't do it without chasing!
The people in the entire imperial capital are watching!
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are all watching!
The emperor, queen, and queen mother are all watching!
If they lose to a few weak girls, then they will have to wear veils like girls when they go out on the street in the future!
It's really shameless to see people!
The game is getting more and more exciting.

The people on the shore couldn't help cheering for the women's army: "Come on, princess!"

"Come on princess!"

"Master Rui'an, come on!"
