If you don’t let me read Chapter 90, then I’ll use the melon-eating system to read it!
[What's wrong? Why did Father cover my eyes? ]
Lu Li stretched out her hand and tried to pull Lu Yanshi's hand away, but she was not as strong as him and failed.
[If you don’t let me watch it, then I’ll use the melon-eating system to watch it! ]
Lu Li is very rebellious.
[Hey, why can't the system see it? It's mosaiced again. ]
Lu Li was a little surprised.
Lu Yanshi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, stuffed her into the carriage, and handed her over to the care of the palace maids.
"Keep an eye on the Ninth Princess and don't let her out for now."
Lu Yanshi felt a headache when he looked at the series of bare buttocks.
Except for Lu Jing, all other civilians participating in the competition were naked.
"How come no one stopped this if it was so indecent?" he asked the official in charge of the assessment in a harsh voice.
"Your Majesty, the first round is about swimming. Wearing clothes is too tiring and inconvenient." Admiral Wu Yiheng was also helpless.
Of course he knew this was not elegant, but they were all men, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
It would be a waste of time if you were a step slower than others in dressing and swimming and were eliminated.
"Then you have to wear underwear." Lu Yanshi took a step back.
How could he let his daughter come down to watch the game when these people were walking their birds naked?
"Your Majesty, the people are poor. It's good enough for them to have a piece of clothing to wear for the examination. They can't afford things like underpants." Wu Yiheng sighed.
"Besides, it's already winter. If you go into the water and your clothes get wet, you won't have anything to change into when you come out."
Lu Yanshi was stunned. He didn't think this was the reason for a moment.
He sighed, feeling both self-blame and annoyance. If Daxia was rich and powerful enough, and he, the emperor, was capable enough, how could the people not even be able to afford clothes?
He must work hard, he must fight, and he must make Daxia the strongest country so that the people can wear pants!
"Father! I want to go down!"
Hearing Lu Li making a fuss in the carriage, Lu Yanshi immediately made a decision: "Let them continue the competition. I will take the Ninth Princess to watch the next round of competition later."
Wu Yiheng said quickly, "Yes, I will send someone to notify you and the Ninth Princess as soon as the next round of competition begins."
Lu Yanshi returned to the carriage.
Lu Li saw his chat with the Admiral through the Gossip System and glared at him angrily.
[It's just that she's not wearing any pants, what's so wrong about that? 】
【Who doesn’t have two butt cheeks? 】
Lu Li complained in her heart.
The corners of Lu Yanshi's mouth twitched. How should he explain to his daughter that men and women are different?
"Father!!!" Lu Li's voice was full of resentment.
"Good boy, Xiaojiu. Father is a little tired. I'll take you to watch the next game later." Lu Yanshi changed the subject.
[We have been riding in a carriage all this way, why are you tired, Father? ]
[Could it be that he was having an affair with a fox spirit behind my back and had his yang energy sucked away? ]
Lu Yanshi was so angry at her that his temples started throbbing.
[It is said that Father is getting tired easily as he is getting older. ]
[But Master Taifu is over seventy years old and can still sleep with three girls at night. Father, you haven't picked up many queens in the past few days. ]
[So tired? I'm afraid you're too weak. 】
"It's windy outside. If you get frozen, your mother won't let you leave the palace again next time." Lu Yanshi defended himself helplessly.
Lu Li shut up with just one sentence.
After a moment, she tugged at Lu Yanshi's sleeve and whispered, "Brother, you will be cold."
Lu Yanshi was originally very angry, but when he saw her like this, he softened his heart.
Such a little kid still cares about his brother.
"Don't worry, your eldest brother is under someone's protection, he will be fine." Lu Yanshi touched her head.
"On the contrary, I wonder if the common people have anything to keep out the cold."
He frowned.
【Father, don’t worry! 】
[My eldest brother had already ordered someone to prepare ginger soup and wait for us on the shore.]
[We also invited doctors from the capital city, so that if anyone drowned or caught a cold, they would be treated immediately.]
【Big brother is really as meticulous as a hair. 】
Lu Yanshi heard his daughter's thoughts and nodded with satisfaction.
The eldest son went abroad to study for a year and finally learned something. He learned to sympathize with the people and did things more thoughtfully.
Previously, some ministers wanted to move the navy assessment to the beginning of spring, when it was warmer. But Qu Fufeng said that in the future, if we have to fight on water, there will be sunny, rainy, hot and cold days, and winter swimming is a good way to screen physical fitness.
Lu Yanshi thought what he said made sense, so he agreed to the proposal.
But at that time he did not think of such a small matter as preparing ginger soup for the people, and he did not expect that his eldest son would actually consider it.
Soon, a round of swimming competition was over.
"This trip was not in vain, I even had some sweet ginger soup."
Sugar is a luxury at this time.
Most people can only taste the sweets during the Chinese New Year or during the period of confinement after childbirth.
"Who said the emperor is a tyrant? The emperor is clearly a wise ruler! He even considered such a trivial matter as Jiang Tang for us."
"That's right. Even if you don't get elected, you can still get two cents each. That's really good."
Those people drank ginger soup and warmed themselves by the fire, and couldn't help but praise Lu Yanshi.
When Lu Jing heard them praising his father, he was happier than when he was praised himself.
Naturally, these words also reached Lu Yanshi's ears through Lu Li's real-time broadcast.
Lu Yanshi kept it in mind and decided to reward his sensible eldest son when he got back.
Soon, the second round of competition began.
Lu Li finally got what she wanted, got off the carriage and went to watch the game.
The first round is about swimming, and the second round is about balance, and also to see if you get seasick.
There are five groups competing at the same time, with three people in a group.
A group of people board a small boat at the same time. Soldiers on both sides of the boat pull ropes to rock the boat. Whoever can stay on the boat the longest without grabbing anything or relying on external support will win.
Lu Jing ranked 85th in the last round of swimming competition. A total of 100 people were recruited, and his ranking was relatively low, so he barely made it to the second round.
This time he was at the back.
He stood back and watched what others were doing.
When they first got on the boat, the shaking was relatively small and someone let down his guard. As a result, there was a sudden big movement and he fell directly into the water.
He quickly swam to the other boat and shouted, "It's not fair. How can they attack us suddenly?"
The examiner Wu Yiheng sneered: "If you go to the sea and the waves suddenly come, can you stop them from coming?"
The man's face turned red after being scolded, and he dared not say anything more.
"Hu Guang from Group A wins!" The soldier in charge of the group assessment read out the name of the winner and then moved on to the next group.
Lu Li looked at those people falling into the water, smacked his lips, and couldn't help but sigh.
[This looks like dumplings. ]
【One after another, still with meat filling. 】
【I’m hungry and want to eat. 】
After she said that, Lu Yanshi also felt a little hungry.
He hugged his daughter and sat back in his seat.
Forget it, let's watch the eldest son's competition before leaving. Maybe he will be eliminated in this round, and then we can go back together.
After waiting for a long time, it is finally Lu Jing's turn.
