May 5th is the Dragon Boat Festival. It is said that drinking the noon water on this day can bring benefits and avoid harm, and everything will go smoothly.

Therefore, Yuan Yuan was coaxed by Qing Yi to take a sip of noon water when he got up early in the morning. His face was wrinkled, and the taste was obviously very strange.

The palace banquet only started at midnight, but the little girl had already arranged her schedule for today.

After breakfast, she will accompany her aunt to watch the dragon boat. For lunch, she can eat big rice dumplings. Grandpa Hua said that there will be a lot of meat for her, so she must eat more!

After eating, she still had to choose a little dress to wear when leaving the palace in the evening, and she and Yan Shenzhi had to attend a palace banquet in the evening.

"Hey, why am I busier than Yan Shenzhi?" The little girl sighed sadly, then stuffed a mouthful of crystal dumplings into her mouth, and Qing Yi couldn't help but laugh while serving her dishes.

Yan Huai on the side turned a deaf ear to her words and concentrated on eating his breakfast. He had no time today. As a prince, he naturally had to accompany Emperor Yan to meet with relatives and ministers during major festivals, and to assist Emperor Yan in dealing with the matter.

political affairs.

Because of the Dragon Boat Festival, the royal family members had a dragon boat race, and he had to represent the royal family in the competition to compete with the officials' children.

After breakfast, Yan Huai told the little girl to pay attention to safety when watching the dragon boat race, and then left the East Palace with Xiao Dezi and Zhui Yun. Yuan Yuan took Qing Yi and went to Weiyang Hall to find Queen Wen, and followed Feng Jie there.

Watch the dragon boat race on the Xuanwu Gate Tower.

At this moment, the royal family members, second-rank officials and above, and their families gathered on the three towers of Xuanwu Gate, just waiting to see more than ten dragon boats competing in the Yanjing Canal to see who could come out on top.

Queen Wen looked at the little girl holding on to the wall and looking forward to it, and couldn't help but joked, "Xinxin, do you think Shen Zhi can take first place?"

In addition to loving eating and playing, the little girl also has a great advantage: she is strong-willed and competitive. I wonder if she was influenced by Yan Huai, but she has a strong sense of victory in some competitions.

"Of course! Yan Shenzhi will definitely get the first place!" Yuan Yuan said confidently. Doesn't she know what Yan Shenzhi's temper is? He is very petty. If he loses the dragon boat race, he might hide somewhere and secretly cry!

Yanhuai:?

"Xinxin is right, Shen Zhi will definitely take first place." Queen Wen agreed with her words with a smile, and fed the little girl a grape.

The officials and family members present looked at the familiar way that Queen Wen took good care of the soft little girl, and began to discuss in low voices.

"Which lady's daughter is this? How could she be so loved by the Queen?" a certain civil servant's wife asked in a low voice.

"But the princess of a certain prince's noble family?" Another civil servant's wife asked doubtfully.

"Mrs. Gu, Mrs. Guo, it is better not to say such rude words in front of the Queen. Being so close to the Queen means that the family behind her is not something you and I can discuss."

Fu Wu, the wife of the prime minister, interrupted the two of them arrogantly. In her opinion, her husband was the head of the civil service, and her words were naturally the most important thing among these subordinate officials and family members.

Concerned about Fu Wu's status, the civil servants and wives did not dare to speak freely, for fear that it would become a stepping stone for Fu Wu to show off his superiority.

Seeing that more than ten dragon boats were about to arrive at the shore, Yanhuai's dragon boat was almost abreast of another dragon boat, so Yuan Wan clung to the wall anxiously.

Just as everyone was fixating their eyes on the game on the canal, the roar of children could be heard from the adjacent tower.

"Come on Yan Shenzhi! Yan Shenzhi rush forward! Get first place!"

Emperor Yan and the officials all turned their attention to the nearby tower, and saw a little girl dressed in light pink with two little chirps on her head standing on the wall, pointing anxiously at the dragon boat on the canal.

"Hahahahaha, Xinxin's little voice is quite loud." Emperor Yan was amused by Yuan Yuan's howl and laughed out loud. The little girl looked even more nervous than the teenagers who were playing.

Yuan Zhentian was embarrassed to look at his wild son. He was really spoiled by his empress and His Highness, and he dared to yell like this under any circumstances.

"Your Majesty, I am young and ignorant and don't understand etiquette. I hope your Majesty will forgive me." To avoid being criticized by others, Yuan Zhentian took the next step to plead guilty to Emperor Yan.

"Yuan Qing is worried too much. Xin Xin is lively and cute. How can I be willing to blame her? Look at her anxious look that she is afraid that Shen Zhi will not get the first place. It can be seen that Xin Xin is determined to win the prize of first place." Emperor Yan

He didn't take Yuan Yuan's rudeness into consideration at all, but instead fell in love with her even more. Who wouldn't be greedy for such an innocent and energetic little girl?

Yanhuai did not live up to his original expectations. When he was finally more than ten meters away from the shore, he successfully got rid of Xiao Yu, the eldest son of General Xiao who was beside him. He came out on top and returned to the Xuanwu Gate downstairs to accept the reward from Emperor Yan.

.

"Congratulations, your majesty, congratulations to the crown prince for winning the first place." The officials and family members present immediately saluted Emperor Yan in unison and congratulated him.

"All the ministers are equal, the prince is both civil and military, and the boys are no less generous than the prince. It is my great fortune to have such talented people!" Emperor Yan happily expressed his admiration to the men below the tower.

"Your Majesty is wise." The officials immediately leaned over and bowed in agreement.

As the dragon boat race came to an end, Yuan's wish came true and he got the first place prize in Yanhuai, which was a small dragon boat with a golden eagle and ten kinds of rice dumplings of different flavors.

"Wow! Yan Shenzhi's rice dumplings are so delicious! In addition to the meat, there is also a soft fruit inside, which is a bit sweet, but not greasy! Wow, how can there be such delicious rice dumplings!" Yuan Yuan ate it with a big mouthful.

Zongzi, expressing his feelings after eating it with a happy face.

Yan Huai picked up the wet handkerchief Qing Yi kept aside and gently wiped away the rice grains stuck to the corners of her mouth, and explained to the little illiterate what the ingredients of the rice dumplings she was eating were made of.

"That fruit is called chestnut. It is very popular outside the palace. It can be fried with sugar or made into cakes. This chestnut meat rice dumpling is also a new product developed by Grandpa Hua." After saying this, he peeled one for himself, and it was as expected.

It tastes fresh and sweet as Xinxin said, and paired with the tenderloin, it is really delicious.

After eating one in a row, Yan Huai stopped. Of course, he did not get used to Yuan Yuan and continued eating without restraint, so he directly asked people to take away the rice dumplings.

"Yan Shenzhi, what are you doing! This is my rice dumpling! Grandpa Hua made it for me!" Yuan Yuan was so angry that she threw herself into Yan Huai's arms and beat him, but Yan Shenzhi went too far! If she doesn't want to eat it, she won't let her eat it! She's so angry!

died!

"Don't make trouble. Let's eat tomorrow. You can eat as much as you like at the banquet in the main hall tonight." Yan Huai held her back and said coldly.

Yuan Yuan was eating vigorously, but she didn't want to listen to him. He rolled around like a baby and said at his fingertips, "I don't! I want to eat another one! Oh, Yan Shenzhi, you are the best! How about I eat the last one~"

This is not the first time that Yan Huai has been made trouble by her like this. He shows no mercy at all. Not only does he refuse to give in at all, but he also threatens the little girl, "If you make trouble again at night, don't leave the palace."

Hit the nail on the head and successfully made Yuan Yuan shut up her noisy little mouth and hands.

So angry! Yan Shenzhi is such an old and cunning villain! When she grows up, let’s see how she gets her revenge! She won’t give him food, and if he dares to cause trouble, he will be locked up!
