Yan Bao learned about Brother Shen's news in the capital several days after Brother Shen left.
Brother Shen wrote to say that Brother Shen had arrived safely, and the medicine and food he sent solved the urgent problem.
He also said that Second Brother Shen would not go back for the time being, and he would probably go back to the capital with them, so Madam Shen and the others should not worry, and he would take care of Second Brother Shen.
Finally, he said that the sweet girl named Tao Niang got married on the night that Second Brother Shen arrived, and they were the ones who presided over the wedding.
Yan Bao gave a thumbs up: [Big Brother didn't let me down. He didn't get tricked by that Tao Niang, and he didn't have to bring a woman back!]
[Great! Letting my sister-in-law go was the right decision. Otherwise, my brother would have been schemed against by this Tao Niang.]
Yan Bao knew that Brother Shen and the others would not be able to return for a while, and post-disaster reconstruction would take time. Now the epidemic is still going on, and they cannot return to the capital until the epidemic is eliminated.
This epidemic spreads very quickly. If it reaches the capital, the place where the emperor and nobles live, there cannot be any epidemic.
Knowing that Second Brother Shen was fine, Madam Shen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Despite the flood this year, the dragon boat race was still held, praying for good weather, peace and prosperity for the country and the people.
This year's dragon boat race was not attended by Second Brother Shen, so Yan Bao didn't pay much attention to it. Anyway, she wouldn't get a share of the golden rice dumplings even if they won.
On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival dragon boat race, the third prince and the eighth prince both showed up.
After recuperating for more than half a year, the eighth prince finally dared to face the fact that he was blind in one eye.
When Yan Bao saw him looking at him, he deliberately covered his left eye in humiliation, which happened to be the eye in the Eighth Prince's hand. It was full of mockery, and the Eighth Prince was so angry that he trembled all over and looked ugly.
Yan Bao was so angry that he made faces that the Eighth Prince's eyes hurt.
The Third Prince saw this and comforted the Eighth Prince: "Don't argue with a mute."
"This mute is really hateful." The eighth prince was so angry that he cried.
The Third Prince looked at the Eighth Prince, who was sobbing and sobbing in grievance, and his eyes grew colder. He said in a tone that the two brothers could hear, "Don't worry, my brother will avenge you."
"When?" The Eighth Prince wanted to teach Yan Bao a lesson right now.
The Third Prince narrowed his eyes and said, "You'll know when the time comes."
The eighth prince was not satisfied. As expected, it is better to rely on yourself than on others.
He became the laughing stock of everyone during this period. Life was difficult, but this little mute stole the limelight.
The eighth prince refused to accept.
He is the prince, he is of royal blood.
How dare a little mute look at the prince with such disdain?
If it weren't for her father protecting this little mute, she would have died several times.
The Eighth Prince glared at Yan Bao, and then quietly followed her as she left.
The Third Prince noticed and grabbed the Eighth Prince's hand: "Behave yourself and don't act rashly. There's no need to rush. Trust me, my brother. I will make those who harm us pay a heavy price."
The Eighth Prince had no choice but to give up.
Yan Bao went to the toilet. Not long after she came out, she saw the Thirteenth Prince waiting outside. He stuffed two zongzi into her hands and said, "I made them myself. Mother said they were very good. One is filled with red bean paste, and the other is filled with egg yolk."
"You can make rice dumplings!" Yan Bao was surprised.
The Thirteenth Prince nodded embarrassedly: "I just learned it, and I can't wrap it well."
"I think it's great, you're awesome!" Yan Bao praised with a smile.
The Thirteenth Prince blushed and said, "If you like it, I will make you zongzi next time. When I grow up and can participate in the dragon boat race, I will win you a golden zongzi!"
"Okay, it's a deal!" Yan Bao smiled and stretched out his hand.
The Thirteenth Prince made a pinky promise with her.
As the drums began to beat, the Thirteenth Prince said, "The competition has begun. Let's go and watch."
"Don't go that way, let's take another route." There are too many people over there, and it might collapse soon. She doesn't want to die there.
The Thirteenth Prince listened to Yan Bao.
Yan Bao is very good at dealing with things. When she watched the dragon boat race, she deliberately took advantage of the emperor's best view and smiled at him. When the emperor asked her to pass, she ran over happily, saluted, and sat on the ground next to the dragon throne.
The emperor picked her up, placed her on his lap and let her lean against him.
With last year's experience, it was not a surprise at all that Yan Bao sat in the emperor's arms to watch the game this year.
The Thirteenth Prince did not receive such good treatment and could only sit on a small stool.
The other little princes and princesses got pink eye again.
Especially the eighth prince, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
The Third Prince looked at Yan Bao who was enjoying the emperor's favor without any pressure, narrowed his eyes, and played with the ring on his hand.
The thought that the people he arranged were abused by an ugly beggar, and that he failed to successfully infiltrate the Shen family and capture Brother Shen as planned, caused trouble for the Shen family.
The third prince was furious.
It seems that nothing he does goes well these years.
Especially when it comes to plotting against the Shen family, things will basically develop in a direction that he doesn't want to see.
The Shen family seemed to have anticipated the danger and were able to avoid it every time.
So angry!
The dragon boat race was still going on when the stands suddenly collapsed with a loud bang. There were too many people on the stand and the wood was eaten by termites. The stand could not bear such a large weight and many people were injured when it collapsed.
The Thirteenth Prince looked at Yan Bao with fear. He had just suggested going over there to watch the game.
If Yan Bao hadn't pulled him away, they would probably have been injured too.
The Thirteenth Prince was young but not stupid. He could feel that Yan Bao seemed to have a foresight about danger.
She is so awesome!
The emperor was so good to him that he even arranged for him to marry the powerful Yan Bao.
The Thirteenth Prince felt that he was not worthy of Yan Bao and began to feel inferior.
Yan Bao noticed the Thirteenth Prince's depressed mood and peeled a loquat for him.
