The maids from Concubine Xian's palace accompanied Xu Yin to change clothes.
Seeing the Yongjia County Lord with his head hanging down and sniffling from time to time, the maid felt sympathetic and explained: "The County Lord, please don't be sad. Miss Yu was just careless and no one saw her just now."
Xu Yin lowered his head and said: "You don't have to comfort me. If no one sees it, why would the empress send you here?"
"Uh..." The maid hesitated.
Xu Yin said quietly: "I have always admired people with good knowledge. They say that Miss Yu is dignified and polite, and she has always been close to her. I didn't expect...I don't know how I offended her."
Since she came to the capital, she directly caused Concubine Shu to be deposed, and indirectly caused Concubine De to be grounded. Only then did Concubine Xian get her chance. The maid stood on the side of the master and had a good impression of Xu Yin. Looking at her at this time
He looked softly and said in a soft voice: "Miss Yu may have been distracted for a moment, and this has nothing to do with the county prince."
"What is she trying to do?" Xu Yin raised his hand to cover his eyes, "Others say that I almost became the crown prince Liangdi, but your majesty and the empress have never asked me about it! Since the nobles didn't mention it, then
Just not! Why should I suffer this unjust injustice? It’s like I shamelessly cling to the powerful."
Seeing how sad and angry she was, the maid hurriedly said: "Of course not! The county gentleman is more polite than anything else. It's Miss Yu who thinks too much."
Xu Yin simply started to cry: "She is the future princess. If she poured hot tea on me like this today, she will take my life when she enters the East Palace in the future. I can't stay in this capital anymore. Please let me go home."
Bar!"
Hearing what she said so bluntly, the maid was so anxious that she was sweating. If people heard these words, it would be a big deal if there were any rumors that would affect the reputation of the royal family!
"County Lord, County Lord!" the maid urged hurriedly, "You have been wronged today, and the Queen knows it in her heart, otherwise she would not be able to send a slave here. Miss Yu will never do anything to you again, don't worry!
"
The corners of Xu Yin's mouth hidden under his sleeves curled up, he raised his red eyes and looked at her pitifully: "Really?"
"Really, really. You go and change your clothes first, and then rest for a while, so that no one notices anything strange. Your Majesty and your concubine are here, so you won't suffer this loss in vain."
Xu Yin then raised the corner of his mouth, looking very touched: "Well, thank you later for me, my empress."
The maid breathed a sigh of relief and saw Xiao Man waiting there, and said, "Your maid is here, why don't you change your clothes first?"
She didn't realize it at all. Under Xu Yin's crying, she originally wanted to keep the matter vague, but in the end she admitted that it was Yu Manqing who intentionally harmed others.
Xu Yin complied obediently this time, entered the Zen room, and changed his clothes under their service. However, his eyes were still red and swollen, which could not go away for a while.
"I don't want to go back." She said with a bit of willfulness, "If I see Miss Yu now, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it."
The maid hurriedly said: "Then you rest here for a while, and I will send someone to talk to you."
Xu Yin nodded to her: "Thank you very much."
The maid kept saying she didn't dare, and then called a maid to send a message, and she stood guard at the door.
As soon as the door closed, Xiaoman went to open the side window.
Xu Yin looked over and saw that Xiao Sang was already waiting outside. When he saw her, he waved hurriedly.
"I'll leave this to you." She turned back and whispered to Xiaoman.
Xiao Man patted his chest: "Don't worry, Miss, I will keep it a secret until you come back."
Xu Yin nodded, pulled up the skirt, and flipped it out neatly.
…
In the main shed, Yu Chong frowned when he saw his daughter coming in, looking a little strange.
"What's going on?" He was still looking outside, as if he was concentrating on watching the dragon boat race, but he was asking, "Why are you provoking her so politely?"
"Father!" Yu Manqing's eyes turned red, "Don't you even believe me?"
Yu Chong paused, and his tone was suspicious: "You didn't insult her? Is that because she was pretending?"
Yu Manqing responded and said aggrievedly: "This Yongjia County monarch has a big heart. No wonder he has to want to be the crown prince Liangdi."
Yu Chong was stunned and understood what she meant. So, Miss Xu San deliberately framed her to prevent her from becoming the crown princess?
However, the position of the Crown Princess does not depend on this. As long as he is in control, Yu Manqing's marriage will be as stable as a rock.
This Xu San is not such a stupid person. Xu Huan can safely let her assassinate Wu Zijing. It can be seen that this daughter is also being groomed to be a successor. How could he not see this?
Yu Chong had all kinds of questions in his mind, but now that he was in the wrong place, he could only put them down temporarily and prepare to ask again when he got back.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!" The drums were beating outside, and the dragon boat race was about to begin.
Each family cheered for their own dragon boat team, and the people watching on the shore also shouted loudly to support their favorite team.
In the hot atmosphere, King Duan, wearing a narrow-sleeved riding attire and a headband, jumped on the dragon boat.
His attire was full of heroic appearance and distinguished status, which immediately attracted applause like a mountain.
When Yu Manqing saw it, his eyes couldn't help but follow him.
Mrs. Yu accidentally caught a glimpse of it, her heart skipped a beat, and she touched her lightly.
"What are you looking at?"
Yu Manqing calmly retracted: "It's nothing."
Each dragon boat team was ready. The gong rang with a "bang" sound. These strong men waved their oars in unison, and the dragon boats flew out like arrows from the string.
The sound of cheering on the shore became more intense, and there was a lot of excitement and excitement everywhere. Many people chased the dragon boat.
The colorful shed is located in a higher position, and you can see far. After a while, the dragon boat circled back, and there was already a difference in speed.
At the front was the dragon boat team composed of the Forbidden Army. The dragon boat teams from Prince Duan's Mansion, Prince Fu's Mansion, and Princess Jincheng's Mansion were not far behind. This situation made the three girls even more excited. They jumped up and waved their fists, completely ignoring them.
Ladylike temperament.
Coming back from the second lap, the Forbidden Army dragon boat team was still at the front, and the Duanwang dragon boat team was closely behind them. There was only one hull missing, and the two sides were locked in a tight fight.
By the third lap, they were still at the front, but the gap was as small as half a boat body.
Princess Changning screamed "Ahhh" and shouted loudly: "Uncle, try hard! Catch up! We are number one!"
Driven by her, Yu Manqing also became nervous. There was only so much left, could he catch up?
On the last lap, she stared closely at the turn, but the two ships were still coming side by side, and it was almost impossible to tell who was ahead and who was behind.
King Duan stood on the bow of the boat, beating the drum time and time again. Seeing that the finish line was right in front of him, the sound of the drum gradually accelerated, and the frequency of paddling by the team members also increased.
"Dong dong dong dong!"
Yu Manqing felt her heart beating and stared at the bow of the ship.
Finally, the dragon boat of Prince Duan's Mansion was faster than the tip of the boat and passed through the Caimen!
"Wow!" Princess Changning jumped up, "First! First! We are first! We are the leaders!"
