Chapter 49 Mr. Lu, are you sick?
Lu Hengqing never expected that Jiang Yueyao would be so disrespectful to him.
Not only did she refuse to give it to him, but she also provoked the Crown Prince to speak up for her, and now here comes the Deputy Commander of the Imperial Guards.
He looked at her across the crowd, sneering in his heart - after living together for seven years, he had no idea she had such great abilities.
Now it seems that he had underestimated her before.
Seeing that he remained indifferent, the prince's face darkened.
"What is Lord Lu waiting for?"
Lu Hengqing gritted his teeth secretly, suppressed all his emotions, walked out of the crowd, and walked in front of Jiang Yueyao.
He lowered his eyes and didn't look at her.
He bowed and apologized: "Lu apologizes to Miss Jiang on behalf of the princess. After the dragon boat race, I will prepare a generous gift to apologize."
Jiang Yueyao looked at Lu Hengqing who was standing in front of her and bowing to apologize.
I feel so refreshed.
This ungrateful and ungrateful person, who always acted so high and mighty, lowered his noble head to her today.
She was happy in her heart, but she was extremely humble in her words.
"Lord Lu, an apology is worth a thousand gold. If I ask you for a generous gift again, it will be my fault."
Lu Hengqing stood up and looked up at her quickly.
That glance made Jiang Yueyaocong see a flash of coldness in his eyes.
Good man, you don’t want to kill her again, do you?
The storm came to an end with Lu Hengqing's apology.
The prince invited Lu Sui to go up to the high stand together, while Jiang Yueyao pulled Chenyu towards the Yuan family's shed.
After walking a few steps, Yuan Zheng caught up.
"Miss Jiang, are you okay?"
Jiang Yueyao looked at him.
Today, Master Yuan was wearing a red dragon boat suit. The fabric was thin and fitted, highlighting his strong and sturdy figure...
Jiang Yueyao immediately turned her gaze away, her ears turning red.
No wonder the ladies all rushed here when they heard about the dragon boat race. It turns out there are really benefits to be gained.
But he looked serious.
"I'm fine. Thanks to Master Yuan for speaking up for me."
"As you should." Yuan Zheng walked beside her, his eyes fixed on her. "I heard everything just now. Princess Xiang Ning was just too foul-mouthed. You didn't do anything, but she humiliated you right away."
"There are still many good people in the capital." Jiang Yueyao said from the bottom of her heart, "Since Princess Xiangning doesn't like me, I will stay away from her in the future."
"Yes, there's no need to bother with people like her."
"Uh-huh."
While the two were talking, they entered the tent of Yuan Mansion.
Yuan Shuyan was fiddling with the tea bowl out of boredom, and was somewhat surprised to see the two of them coming over together.
"Why is my brother here with me?"
Yuan Zheng briefly explained what had just happened.
Yuan Shuyan was furious when she heard this.
She held Jiang Yueyao's hand and said, "Don't be angry. She is just like that. She is always high and mighty, and her words are harsh. She looks down on everyone. We don't want to play with her."
"good."
The brother and sister are so kind-hearted that Jiang Yueyao likes them from the bottom of her heart.
Yuan Zheng left after not staying for long.
Before leaving, he looked at Jiang Yueyao and said, "I heard from Yanyan that you also bet on the Tigers to win?"
"Yeah." Jiang Yueyao looked at him and smiled, "Mr. Yuan, you must do your best. I bet ten taels of silver."
"Okay, I won't let you down."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and strode away.
Yuan Shuyan pulled Jiang Yueyao to sit aside. She glanced at Chenyu standing beside them and asked with some confusion: "Who is this?"
"She's a new employee at Wanhe Tower. Her name is Chenyu. She lives with me now."
"Shenyu?" Yuan Shuyan was very curious. She asked her, "Do you have a sister named Luoyan?"
Chenyu glanced at her and said, "Not really."
"Then why are you called Chenyu?"
Seeing that Chenyu was about to get angry, Jiang Yueyao immediately held Yuan Shuyan down.
"She thought she was pretty, so she just gave herself the name casually. There's no other meaning."
When Yuan Shuyan heard this, she couldn't help but laugh.
"Oh, she's really cute."
The girl's face suddenly turned dark when she was praised for her cuteness.
You can praise me for being a cool girl, but you can't praise me for being cute.
Cute as hell.
I am a lady of great stature... never mind talking about it.
At this moment, across the moon bridge over the lake, opposite was the tent of Pei's family in the Left Prime Minister's Mansion.
A maid stood in front of the shed, put her hand on her forehead and looked at the platform opposite for a long time, and finally walked into the shed happily.
"Miss, it is indeed Lord Lu."
There were two girls sitting in the shed, one was Pei Yunjin, the legitimate daughter of the Left Prime Minister, and the other was Pei Yunzhu, the second legitimate daughter.
Pei Yunzhu is sixteen years old this year and has just been a coming-of-age girl for a year. She is at the age when she is lively and active.
"Sister, Lord Lu is truly the referee. Why don't we go find him? He helped you out last time, and you haven't thanked him yet."
When 'Lu Sui' was mentioned, Pei Yunjin's fair face turned red.
Seeing her sister about to get up, she quickly grabbed her.
He gave her a slight glare.
"Don't be impatient. The dragon boat race is about to start. It will be too conspicuous if you go now. It won't be too late to go after it's over."
Pei Yunzhu thought it made sense.
She looked at her elder sister's cheeks which suddenly turned red, and hurriedly leaned in to tease her.
"Sister, your face is already red with embarrassment before you even meet the Grand Tutor. If you were to meet him, you wouldn't even be able to speak clearly."
"You little rascal, you dare to make fun of me? I'll tear your mouth off."
"Oh, sister, spare me..."
…
At 1:00 am, the Dragon Boat Race officially begins.
Four dragon boats are lined up in a row, ready to go.
The prince stood on the high platform and gave an order. Thunderous drumbeats fell, and the Jiaolong team rushed out first. The other three dragon boats did not dare to fall behind and followed closely behind.
Everyone on the shore was so excited that their blood was boiling. Yuan Shuyan pulled Jiang Yueyao closer to the lakeshore, put her hands to her mouth, and shouted like everyone else.
"Go Tigers, go brother."
Jiang Yueyao was very anxious when she saw that the Tigers team was a little behind the Dragons team.
She couldn't bear to watch her ten taels of silver fly away, so she started shouting too.
"Come on, Master Yuan! Come on, Tigers! Come on, come on! Let's chase, chase, chase..."
The Yuan family’s shed is close to the platform.
Jiang Yueyao's voice has a unique Jiangnan accent.
Lu Sui, who was sitting on the high platform, heard her voice immediately.
He tilted his head slightly and looked down.
Seeing her yelling "Mr. Yuan" and cheering for the other party, Nawei was so excited that he sneered secretly.
He didn't know when he became so familiar with Yuan Zheng?
At this moment, the competition on the lake has entered a fierce stage.
The Jiaolong Team, which was originally in the lead, was overtaken by the Fierce Tiger Team in an instant. On the lakeshore, the people who bet on the Jiaolong Team wailed incessantly, while the big guys who bet on the Fierce Tiger Team were overjoyed.
Jiang Yueyao hugged Yuan Shuyan, and they both jumped and danced, their little faces blushing with joy.
"I told you, brother, those muscles aren't for nothing."
"Oh, Master Yuan is really amazing."
The tournament consists of three rounds.
The Tigers won the first game.
In the second game, the Jiaolong team won.
The third round was the final showdown.
Jiang Yueyao tightly grasped Yuan Shuyan's arm: "We must win, we must win, we must win."
"Ah, ah, ah, it hurts, Yaoyao hurts..."
"Oh sorry I was so nervous."
"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, brother will definitely win."
In the last game, the Dragon team and the Tiger team started fighting from the beginning.
The two dragon boats set out side by side, and it was impossible to tell the winner at the beginning.
Halfway through the race, the winner is still unclear.
The entire Baiyulong Lake was bustling with people, and everyone was excited.
The crowds shouting "The Dragon Team wins" and "The Tiger Team wins" were rising and falling one after another, with a very rhythmic sense. You shouted and I continued to shout, it was very harmonious and polite.
There were only a few dozen meters left to reach the destination.
The Tigers suddenly exerted their strength and rushed out first.
The Jiaolong team did not dare to show weakness and wanted to hold on tight, but in the end they were just a little bit short.
The whistle blew and the Tigers won.
The crowd cheered.
Jiang Yueyao hugged Yuan Shuyan happily.
"Fifty taels, fifty taels, I'm going to make it..."
As soon as he shouted, something hit his head.
She subconsciously looked up and saw Lu Sui standing on the high platform beside her...
He was playing with a peanut in his hand. When he saw her looking up, he flicked his finger and the peanut hit her forehead accurately.
Jiang Yueyao couldn't help but swear in pain.
"Mr. Lu, are you sick?"
