Jinchuan Garden was built next to the Jinchuan River. It is open to everyone to visit on weekdays, but on the second day of February, it is only used by the royal family.

As soon as Su Changle and Jiang Shen entered, they saw many officials. They all saluted when they saw Su Changle. Su Changle smiled and nodded, and led Jiang Shen forward.

You really don’t think she heard those gossips!

I just don’t like to talk to them!

Su Changle tugged on Jiang Shen's sleeve and whispered to him: "They are just sour, you don't have to pay attention to what they say."

Jiang Shen nodded: In fact, he really didn't care, but Su Changle seemed to be afraid that he did.

After the two people went to pay homage to His Majesty, the hairpin ceremony began.

Su Changle and Jiang Shen stood below His Majesty. After paying their respects to His Majesty, the civil and military officials below took a step back to both sides and made way for them in the middle.

A young man wearing brocade clothes and a jade crown appeared in the distance.

He walked casually, met everyone's eyes, and stopped in front of His Majesty with his last steps.

Su Changle was a little stunned: So he is at the top of the list, and he is quite good-looking.

"The common people, Fang Xushi, pay homage to Your Majesty." Fang Xushi knelt down in front of His Majesty.

Although Fang Xushi ranked first in the spring examination, he could only call himself a commoner because he did not have an official position.

His Majesty nodded and waved his hand.

Eunuch Xu has followed His Majesty for so many years, so he naturally understood: "Your Majesty gives you flowers!"

With that said, Eunuch Xu raised the tray next to him to His Majesty's hand, and His Majesty placed the silk flower hairpin in the tray next to Fang Xushi's jade crown to show that he attached great importance to the top spot.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Fang Xushi bowed again, then stood up and walked to the side.

"The sun is good today. It seems that this year will be a good year. Everyone should go and prepare. I will see you young people on the Jinchuan River later."

"Yes!" everyone responded.

After His Majesty said that, he went to the viewing platform and sat down. The Queen also followed His Majesty to the viewing platform, but Concubine Yue grabbed Su Muchun who had been standing behind her.

"Chun'er, do you really want to participate this time?"

Su Muchun nodded and persuaded with a smile: "Don't worry, mother and concubine, I know what I know and I will never show off."

"In that case, that's okay." Concubine Yue was still a little worried. She gave several more instructions before turning around and following His Majesty to the observation deck.

Sure enough, as soon as she returned, His Majesty asked: "I heard that Chun'er is also going to participate in the boat race this time?"

"Yes." Concubine Yue said.

"The child is older and it is good to exercise more. I will wait and see." His Majesty said, turning to talk to the ministers who were already seated.

Of course Wei Taichang was also on the viewing platform, but his eyes were always looking at Wei Ruyi.

Wei Ruyi hasn't been feeling well since yesterday. Not only did she choose clothes at home for a long time, but she even asked her maid to inquire about Su Muxun.

But Wei Ruyi over there was leaning on the railing, twisting her handkerchief and stretching her neck to look at the people on the shore who were preparing: "Does His Highness really know how to race this time?"

"Don't worry, young lady, I just saw the second prince changing his clothes."

"Then quickly, bring out the fruit tea we brought." Wei Ruyi urged in a low voice. This is what His Highness the Second Highness likes to drink a few days ago. She specially asked someone to go to the palace to find out. If others find out,

That would be bad!

--

The pier on the bank of Jinchuan River is crowded with people, and the dragon boats below are also docked neatly at the water's edge.

The prince had already changed his clothes first and stood on the bank facing the wind blowing from the river.

The cool breeze is blowing, carrying the smell of spring coming from nowhere.

The person serving at the back didn't call out until everyone was ready, and then he reminded: "Your Highness, it's ready over there."

"Well, okay." The prince came back to his senses and turned around to see Su Muchun who had appeared behind him at some unknown time.

The prince was stunned for a moment.

Su Muchun took a step forward and smiled harmlessly at the prince: "What are you thinking about, brother prince, that you are so fascinated?"

Su Jinyu looked at the person in front of her and smiled: "It's okay, the boat race is about to begin. This is my first time for my second brother to participate, so you have to do what you can."

"Yeah, brother Prince, don't worry." Su Muchun arched his eyebrows, "I will definitely do what I can."

--

The ladies and gentlemen of each family who did not participate in the boat race gathered together on the viewing platform to look down.

Xu Luo jumped twice, preparing to find Wei Ruyi among the pile of heads.

But it is indeed a difficult thing.

Fortunately, the observation deck where His Majesty is on is in a different location from theirs. Otherwise, if His Majesty saw it, his father would scold him for being inappropriate again when he got back.

"This doesn't work, I can't see anything." Xu Luo couldn't find anyone and was a little anxious.

He looked around and found that everyone was busy watching the excitement below, and no one paid attention to him at all.

This is really great!

Xu Luo jumped twice more and finally saw a figure similar to Wei Ruyi. He quickly pushed away the people around him and squeezed in himself.

"Give it, give it!"

The people here are all young people. Xu Luo has been a dandy for so many years. Even if he goes on a rampage, no one cares about him.

The gentlemen and ladies could just scold him behind his back, and no one would really go up to him and make a fuss or break the friendship with him.

Xu Luo squeezed his way through the gap and got in front of Wei Ruyi.

"Is Miss Wei busy?"

When Wei Ruyi heard someone calling her, she turned around and saw Xu Luo's face.

She subconsciously moved back and quickly covered her face with a fan, fearing that others would see her talking to Xu Luo.

She whispered: "Why are you here? Why are you here for me?"

The last time she went to Xu Luo was because she was mad. She had already been severely punished by her father. If she let her father see her with him again, she might be punished again.

"What are you afraid of, Miss Wei? I just came here to talk." Seeing Wei Ruyi's retreat, Xu Luo was a little hurt.

"If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly. Don't delay me from watching the boat race."

Speaking of this, Xu Luo didn't believe it even more: "Didn't Miss Wei hate watching boat races the most before? She thought a bunch of people rowing were stupid. Why are you so interested today?"

Wei Ruyi glared at him: "You care about me!"

As Wei Ruyi said this, she heard some movement on the other side of the pier. She scolded Xu Luo in disgust: "If you have nothing to do, get out of here and go find your wives and concubines!"

"Hey, you!" Xu Luo choked and seemed to say something, but seeing that Wei Ruyi's energy was all on the boat race, he walked away angrily.

And all this fell into Su Changle's eyes.

Su Changle originally wanted to sit with His Majesty and the others, but she pulled Jiang Shen and said she wanted to make the place more lively downstairs, so she dragged them downstairs and squeezed in with them.

Seeing Xu Luo being frustrated by Wei Ruyi, Su Changle blinked and pulled Jiang Shen's sleeve.

Jiang Shen looked down at her.

Su Changle hooked his hands and asked Jiang Shen to get closer to him.

Jiang Shen bent down and handed the ear over, and heard Su Changle whisper into his ear: "I am going to do something, please just wait here for me, don't run around."

Jiang Shen frowned when he looked at Su Changle, who was not tall but still had a serious look on his face.

He replied softly: "Okay."

--

Su Changle followed Xu Luo all the way to the latrine. She watched Xu Luo go in, and directly gave a look to the young eunuchs next to her, causing people to block Xu Luo inside.

Xu Luo didn't know at all, so he went to pull the door open and found that it couldn't be opened at all.

"Why is the door broken?" Xu Luo pulled hard several times, and finally kicked it twice in frustration.

He shouted from inside: "Is there anyone outside who can breathe? If so, please open the door for me!"

Su Changle blinked, took out a handkerchief to cover her nose, and said angrily to the rumbling sound inside: "Master Xu, don't try too hard, since I have blocked you in, I won't let you out.

"

"Princess?" Xu Luo was obviously confused, "What the hell did I do to offend my aunt? How about you release her first? Why don't you accept the punishment when I get out?"

Su Changle snorted coldly: Xu Luo had done more than one thing to offend her. If she hadn't been unable to touch him for the time being, she would have really wanted to throw him directly into the toilet!

Jiang Shen alone fell into his hands twice.

And this time the examiner was Xu Luo's father, Xuchang.

How dare he say that he doesn’t know what’s wrong?!

Thinking of this, Su Changle became angry: It was one thing for her aunt of Princess Anping to catch her son-in-law and ruin his future, but it was another thing for these bastards to let Jiang Shen fall off the list and bully others!

"Okay, I, the princess, see that Mr. Xu's mind is unclear. In this case, you should think carefully about what happened to offend my aunt!"
