This year the Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated all over the country.
Originally, the emperor didn't want to go through so much trouble, but because of Concubine Jiang's words: "I have never seen how the Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated in the capital!"
The emperor decided to hold the dragon boat race outside the palace so that people in the capital could go and watch it.
It’s more lively with more people, and it’s also good for Yanbao to advertise.
Unfortunately, no one won the Golden Zongzi for her this year. Second Brother Shen had not returned from Beijing yet, and the Thirteenth Prince was too young to participate in the dragon boat race.
Shen Shoufu is a minister and it is not easy for him to participate in the competition.
In this case, all we can do is watch.
Fortunately, Yan Bao had other things to do.
She hid a storybook in her sleeve and deliberately went to talk to other young ladies. When the storybook fell out of her sleeve, Madam Shen picked it up before her and deliberately let them see the title of the storybook in front of them: "The Domineering Prince and the Pretty Princess"
Mrs. Shen smiled embarrassedly: "I usually have nothing to read the book, why did Yan Bao bring it out? I will read it when I go back tonight. Don't bring it out next time."
Yan Bao: [Mom, I read this. When did you ever read a book like this? Aren’t you afraid that others will laugh at you?]
Madam Shen thought, it’s better to laugh at me than to laugh at you!
“…”
The ladies and young ladies present all thought they had seen it wrong. Which storybook would have such straightforward names?
Also, Madam Shen, how can you, the wife of the Prime Minister, read this kind of book?
It's really immoral.
When Yue Lingwan saw her aunt holding the notebook she had written, she almost fainted from shame and anger.
Ahhhhh.......
So embarrassing!
My aunt won’t know that this was written by me, right?
What will my aunt think of me?
When Yue Lingwan was mentally devastated, she heard Madam Shen say, "You can watch it to kill time. It's quite interesting. I like the protagonist in it. He has his own ideas and opinions. It's good."
Yue Lingwan ignored the embarrassment and blinked, "Is it true, aunt?"
Mrs. Shen nodded with a smile.
Yue Lingwan was almost moved to tears.
Mrs. Shen said it, and the others echoed and smiled, keeping a careful eye on it. After the dragon boat race was over, they would go to the bookstore to take a look. Is it really that good that even Mrs. Shen would like it?
Moreover, it tells the story of a prince and a princess, which sounds very interesting.
Are there other options, like blowing out candles?
If Yan Bao knew, he would definitely complain a few words. I'm sorry to disappoint you. We are going for a plot-oriented story, which is both shocking and refreshing.
Not meaty!
Madam Shen and the others were chatting when the sound of the emperor arriving interrupted everyone's conversation. Everyone knelt and saluted in the direction of the emperor.
The emperor appeared with Concubine Jiang.
Concubine Jiang is seven months pregnant and her belly is already very big, but she still receives the same amount of favors. Even the concubines selected to enter the palace this year cannot compare to her.
As a pregnant concubine, Concubine Jing had to stand behind.
Everyone knows that the emperor dotes on Concubine Jiang.
When many people saw Concubine Jiang for the first time, they thought she was a stunning beauty. But when they looked up today, they found that Concubine Jiang's appearance was not particularly outstanding, and she was not even a great beauty.
But she just happens to be favored, I guess that's her fate.
The emperor took a quick look and nodded with satisfaction: "Stand up."
Yan Bao pulled Yue Lingwan up.
The emperor is coming and the dragon boat race is about to begin.
Yan Bao cannot speak, but it does not prevent her from communicating with Yue Lingwan.
She was writing when someone from the emperor's side came over and said, "The emperor wants to see Princess Taining."
Yan Bao smiled and nodded, and was about to take the storybook away. It was best to advertise when everyone was paying attention, but it was snatched away by Madam Shen: "Mom, take a look at it when you are free. Don't take it with you, otherwise it will be difficult to carry."
Yan Bao: [Mom, if you endorse me, I won’t pay you any fees!]
Madam Shen laughed in her heart, “Mother doesn’t want your endorsement fee, as long as it doesn’t affect your reputation.”
The mother and daughter's eye contact lawsuit had not yet been resolved, but the emperor had already looked over. The young eunuch urged Yan Bao to go over quickly. Who would dare to make the emperor wait?
Yan Bao had no choice but to go to see the emperor empty-handed.
The emperor hadn't seen her for a long time, so he asked with a smile, "How has Yanbao been doing recently? Has he learned to read and write?"
Yan Bao: [Mom, give me back my storybook!!!]
"Such a good opportunity for advertising, but I missed it." Yan Bao wailed in his heart.
Madam Shen held her forehead with her hand. Who knew that the emperor would come so eagerly?
Under the emperor's inquiring gaze, Yan Bao smiled and nodded: "I have read it. Your Majesty, would you like to recommend some? I know a few good storybooks!"
The emperor asked with a smile, "What books did you read?"
Yan Bao was about to mention a few books that everyone read to make things easier, but the Thirteenth Prince smiled and took out a book: "Father, I have also read a book recently."
Yan Bao looked up, his expression subtle: [I didn't expect you to be such a prince, actually reading a storybook, and it was written by my cousin. When did you buy it? How come I didn't know about it?]
The emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at the words on the cover, his expression was very subtle: "What kind of book is this?"
Seeing that the emperor was about to get angry, Yan Bao immediately stood in front of the Thirteenth Prince: [The storybook is innocent. If you want to blame someone, blame the Thirteenth Prince. Don't implicate the author, and don't ban the book!]
Thirteenth Prince: “…”
So, I'm not as good as a storybook?
The emperor looked at the excited Yan Bao, then at the book in the Thirteenth Prince's hand, and asked Eunuch Fu to take it to him to have a look.
The author Yue Lingwan was so excited that she almost fainted.
If this isn't a public execution, what is?
I knew something would happen.
Aaaaaah, please don’t implicate Yan Bao!
