Chapter 299 Wormwood 2.0
“Have you heard? There will be no Dragon Boat Festival in the palace this year.”
“Huh? Why?”
“I don’t know. There are rumors that the Holy Emperor is going to spend the Dragon Boat Festival at Princess Qingli's Mansion. "Well... we don't have to be busy... Eh? Could it be because of what happened in Yangzhou?" After that, the people in the palace who supported the regent spoke louder than before..."
"Hush! What are you, a little girl like me, talking about? Are you in danger of dying?"
......
In the corridor of Taihua Palace, two maids on night watch were pushing and shoving. While chatting, in the Taihua Palace, Su Yupan, who had not been able to fall asleep for a long time, looked at the bright moon in the sky and was in a daze for an unknown amount of time.
Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival.
The Dragon Boat Festival is not the Mid-Autumn Festival, but why is my heart full of sorrow...
Su Yupan nodded slightly, and the dragon pattern on Shuiyun's long sleeves came into view.
Being the emperor...
It's really boring...
If he wasn't the emperor, Su Yupan wouldn't have to think so much. Maybe he would have passed the exam long ago and become the emperor. Someone's wife, even if she couldn't become his wife, could still be a concubine.
At least... no matter how bad or scumbag that person is, he will never be overly fond of the old and be partial to any woman around him.
Just like this, Su Yupan was satisfied.
Of course, Su Yupan also knows that many people in the world are eager to be the emperor, and she is not a person who would not eat minced meat, but human nature is like this, she will always long for what she can’t get, and she will always desire what she can’t get. You won't be satisfied with what you have now.
I have to admit that although everyone understands the four words "contentment and happiness", it is really a very high state...
Tsk, it's broken.
When I think of [contentment and happiness], I think of him again.
Su Yupan felt that ever since he fell in love with that man, he seemed to have fallen into some kind of whirlpool that he could not escape from.
I thought it would be better after the showdown with my sister, but the fact is that I was still with him all day long, and now I have begun to worry about gains and losses as soon as I return to the palace, which is even more serious than at night before.
Maybe this is [greed] in human nature.
"Huh..."
Su Yu held her fragrant cheeks in her hands, sighed, and looked in the direction of the Princess's Mansion for a long time, and then her heart suddenly moved, even though she knew that she She was alone in the huge Taihua Palace, but she still blinked her beautiful eyes with a guilty conscience, looked around, then closed her eyes and made a hand gesture with her jade hands.
"Huh?"
After a while, the empress, who had only planned to take a peek at her sweetheart, whispered in shock and discovered something strange.
"What is Third Senior Sister doing?"
In the empress' perception, neither Qin Lang nor Zhuo Beibei was sleeping at this moment, but this is not strange. What is strange is that there is a looming feeling. Zhuo Beibei's aura connected from the west room of the princess's mansion to the east room, where his sister Su Yinping lived.
Su Yupan couldn't track it down even more carefully. After all, it was the aura of Third Senior Sister. In the end, he had to give up all kinds of unreliable guesses and planned to ask Zhuo Beibei personally tomorrow. .
...
At this time, there are indeed very magical things happening in the princess's mansion.
......
"Qin Lang...hurry up..."
"Received."
"!——~"
In the west room, Zhuo Beibei's little face tilted back. In the east room, the Su Yin bottle that had just been opened by [Jin Chanzi] felt like he was being shocked by electricity.
Through [Jin Chanzi], Zhuo Beibei's feelings were copied intact to Su Yinping.
I can only say that you don’t know until you experience it, this experience…
"..."
Tsk, after tonight's experience, I'm afraid it won't be of much use just relying on the brush in the future.
————————
The night passed.
The next day, the fifth day of May, the Dragon Boat Festival arrived.
"Third Senior Sister, don't run around!"
"How much rice have you washed, Jin'er?"
"It's a basin, do you want to help pack it?"
… …
At noon, several people, including the empress who came early in the morning, finally started making rice dumplings in a joyful and festive atmosphere.
Several people have a clear division of labor. The Su sisters are responsible for washing rice dumpling leaves and wrapping the rice dumplings. Qin Lang and Gu Jin are responsible for washing glutinous rice and other accessories, and occasionally help wrap two.
Originally, Zhuo Beibei also belonged to Qin Lang's side, but she was too dishonest. After washing for a while, she pouted and refused.
"I'm so tired, I might as well step on it with my feet~"
"..."
Qin Lang was tempted at that time, anyway, Third Senior Sister It is not dusty, and the glutinous rice produced by stepping on it may have an unexpected special fragrance.
But the problem was that she was not eating the rice dumplings alone, so Qin Lang stopped her in time and drove her aside to play.
The remaining few people were making rice dumplings and chatting. It seemed like a normal chat, but if you listened carefully occasionally, you could hear "The Niubi of Wuliang Mountain is gone" and "This year Tianhe Sect also "I gave you a gift" and "I really want to chop off the head of the official minister" are not ordinary conversations.
And this kind of conversation is actually not very smooth, because it is interrupted from time to time by Taoer who comes to report the news.
"Your Majesty, Madam, the Minister of Rites is outside asking for an audience."
"Your Majesty, Madam, Mr. Feng from the Ministry of War is waiting outside."
"Your Majesty, madam, the head of Liuzhou Escort Bureau is here to visit."
...
These routine visits from princes and ministers were all declined by the empress, and were sent away casually. Su Yupan just wanted to spend this Dragon Boat Festival peacefully with Qin Lang...and of course his sister and others.
"Yeah, there seems to be a lot of rice dumpling leaves missing. I must have missed the ones I bought before."
"Then let Tao'er make a trip."
"Hey, it's okay. Don't bother me, little girl. I'll go buy something on the street and bring it back."
"Then you go back quickly."
Qin Lang wants to go to the festival streets more. Take a look, this is a scene I have never seen in Tianshan, so I took the initiative to run errands and went straight to the place selling rice dumpling leaves on the street after leaving the house.
Coincidentally, at the same time, a distinguished young man in white had just entered Beijing.
