How to Be a Male Queen

Chapter 29 Dragon Boat Festival Dragon Boat

【Blockbuster little yogurt】

His Highness King Ping walked around the Phoenix Courtyard, stayed for a long time, and asked someone to cut down an apricot tree before leaving.

What happened in the meantime, only the servant guarding the Phoenix Court knows.After that, he began to tidy up and clean up from dawn to dusk. No matter who went to inquire, he could only see his busy back.

Such a situation makes one can't help but think in one aspect:

Is the prince planning to repair the Phoenix Court?

Is Prince Ping's Mansion finally welcoming another master?

Does the future princess not like apricot trees?

These days, the servants of Prince Ping's Mansion got together to discuss this matter if they had nothing to do, and the atmosphere was very lively.

The first butler scolded Moyu's servants with a fierce face, and then discussed with the second butler, "Why don't you also cut down the apricot trees in the front yard and replace them with wintersweet?"

The second steward nodded hurriedly, "I think it will work!"

His Royal Highness King Ping just pretended not to know about the "rumours" in the mansion.

For the past few days, he has been planning what to do after staying in the capital—since the emperor kept him regardless of face, he must have the consciousness to share his share.

There are many lively activities in the palace, but the courtyard next door is still simple and warm.

Another month passed after Qingming, and Jian Hao finally saw his teacher.

Although this person already exists in the memory, the feeling of seeing it "with my own eyes" is still a little different.

The teacher's name is Antai, and he has no surname.Princess Anya said that he was from the land of Sirius, but Jian Hao felt that he was a bit like a "hybrid" - his facial features were obviously much softer than those of the Sirius guards in the mansion, and he was more inclined to the people of Daxia.

Jian Hao spoke a few words to him enthusiastically, but then his enthusiasm lost more than half.

Another person who likes to keep a straight face and doesn't like to talk or laugh. Apart from being able to say a few more words when talking about martial arts, the rest of the time he just asks and answers, which has no meaning at all.

——He should be introduced to An Muxi, or that cold-faced prince...

Thinking of the picture of these three people sitting face to face without saying a word, Jian Xiaoshi laughed for a long time.

What he didn't know was that Antai was secretly surprised from the first moment he saw him, and the sensitivity of the warrior made him realize that there seemed to be something different about this little prince.

In order to welcome Antai back home, Jian Hao invited his two little friends over for a meal.

An Muxi and Li Shu formally handed over invitations, and the mansion prepared a small banquet for them.

Jian Hao excitedly took two friends to meet Princess Anya.

Li Shu always shows a simple and cute attitude in front of female elders. Princess Anya liked him very much the first time she saw him.

It was the first time for An Muxi to come here, and she was obviously a little nervous when she saw Princess Anya, who looked like a banished fairy. Fortunately, this person has a strong psychological quality, even if his hands and feet are stiff, his every move is still very decent.

An Muxi bowed and bowed like a junior, with a clear voice and a moderate tone, "Your Highness, the eldest princess, this is a shawl made of a white-feathered bird that this junior hunted in Mobei. The softest and softest feathers are the cheapest to protect against the cold when traveling in spring and autumn."

As soon as he finished speaking, a nimble young servant bowed to Princess Anya with an exquisite gift box.

Butler Lan Xin stepped forward to pick it up and showed it to her.

"I have a heart." Princess Anya showed a gentle and decent smile, but the look in her eyes was obviously a little darker.

An Muxi said at the right time: "There are a lot of this kind of white-feathered birds in Mobei. They like to destroy the grass, and sometimes peck the lambs of the herdsmen to death. The local herdsmen couldn't bear it, so they begged my uncle to help them hunt birds..."

An Muxi simply and calmly conveyed the meaning of "this bird is very bad, and death is not a pity".

I have to say that although Princess Anya didn't say anything, her expression was quite different from just now, with a little more sincerity in her smile, "General An is righteous."

An Muxi bowed and accepted the praise for his uncle, and then stepped aside respectfully, without saying a word.

The young servant of An's Mansion won the award from the eldest princess, and he also bowed and retreated.

Jian Hao and Li Shu watched from the side, dumbfounded.

——Little yogurt with a handsome follower is really cool!

——I didn't expect Brother An to be so good at currying favor with (female) elders!What about being taciturn and unsophisticated?

Therefore, some people seem to be silent, but they can get the favor of those who care about them where others can't see;

The Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, and people inside and outside the court are discussing the Longchi banquet.

Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, the emperor would hold a banquet beside the Dragon Pool in Xingqing Hall, and call all civil and military officials to participate in a dragon boat race.

Officials above rank five can organize dragon boat teams to participate in the competition, and the winning team will get a lot of rewards.

When Jian Hao heard that there was such excitement, he naturally wouldn't let it go. He slapped the table and said with pride: "We want to participate too, and win the first place!"

Li Shu actually didn't want to hit him, but he still couldn't help but said: "Every year, His Majesty's Flying Dragon Squad is the one who takes the lead." The members of the "Flying Dragon Squad" are all selected from the Emperor's Guards, and they are all tough.

Jian Hao didn't care, instead he said confidently: "Let's build the fastest boat, no matter if it's the Flying Dragons or the Flying Tigers, we'll still win!"

Li Shu was a little embarrassed, "But... in front of His Majesty, no one dares to win, right?"

Jian Hao curled his lips in disdain, and patted An Muxi's shoulder, "Little Yogurt, do you dare?"

"Why don't you dare?" An Muxi held the sword, although his face was still expressionless, but the fierceness in his black eyes showed a true youthful heart.

Jian Hao looked at Li Shu.

Li Shu still hesitated.

Jian Hao provoked him on purpose, "Since you're so worried, you don't want to participate, just cheer for me and Little Yogurt and watch us win prizes!"

"No, no, I'll take part, I'll take part!" Li Shu said hastily.

——Isn’t it just to win the emperor?Probably won't be beaten to death by his father... right?

Such concerns, as if they had already won.

If they want to build their own boats, they have to start preparations more than a month earlier than others.

This matter is easy to say, but all the affairs involved are not something that ordinary people can do.

Take the item of spending money as an example, if they didn't have Jian Xiaoshi's wealth, they could only stare blankly.

What I have to say is that Anxiao Yogurt is nothing but a blockbuster.

When he put a box full of silver coins, golden beans, and big ingots in front of his friends, not only Li Shu, but even Jian Hao were surprised.

"Little Yogurt, are you going to rob a bank?"

An Muxi didn't know what a "bank" was, but when he heard the word "rob", he frowned and said flatly, "No."

"Brother An, how did you get so much money?" Li Shu looked at him with a pair of Bambi-like eyes, as if saying "teach me, teach me".

An Muxi glanced at the big box full of gold and silver, and said indifferently: "There are lucky money, and rewards from wars."

Li Shu suddenly slumped his shoulders - no matter whether it was lucky money or military achievements, he could not count on any of them!

Seeing that he was disappointed, Jian Hao smiled, grabbed the golden beans and stuffed them into his hand, "Come on, little Lizi, the lucky money that my brother gave you."

Li Shu wrinkled his round face, and put the golden beans into his purse without hesitation.

Jian Hao: ...

There is really a way to "money"!

***

Although Li Shu hesitated at first, when he really got ready, he was the most active and busy one.

Jian Hao is responsible for providing the venue for making boats and practicing - the backyard of the Princess Mansion.

There are empty rooms that can be used as workshops, and the Qujiang River flows there, as if specially prepared for them.

The crew who steers, paddles, and shouts slogans are all provided by Anmusi, which is not difficult for him at all.

An Xiaoyogurt even took advantage of the relationship in the army to specially invite a lieutenant of the Liaodong Army as the chief instructor to conduct targeted water training for the crew.

The rest of the work of managing property, purchasing materials, designing drawings, hiring carpenters and boatmen, etc. were all on Li Shu.

Fortunately, he has five brothers-in-law who can be pulled over at any time to be a strong man.

Li Shu's eldest brother-in-law is in the household department and can help with accounts and control income and expenditure; the second brother-in-law is in the engineering department, and his shipbuilders and carpenters are the most professional. Of course, these people don't mind getting closer to Shangfeng, let alone You can also earn some extra money; the third brother-in-law is the magistrate of Wannian County, and he is in charge of all the shops in Xishi, so buying supplies is just a matter of words for him.

Therefore, Li Shu was very busy, busy acting like a baby and talking.

Princess Anya's Mansion is a five-entry courtyard.In addition to the vestibule and the back bedroom, there is also an elegant and unique garden, which occupies the entire entrance area, and the rear is the residence for the servants to eat, live and work.

The Princess Mansion has simple staff, and it was always empty the last time I entered.This is convenient for Jian Hao and the others.

Butler Mo asked someone to build up the connecting gates between the fourth entrance and the fifth entrance, leaving only a moon gate for the servants to deliver tea, food and other things. Usually, there are people guarding it day and night to prevent unauthorized entry.

The outsiders all come in and out through the back door, and the door is closed at the hour every day, allowing them to toss about vigorously.

Naturally, the bustle here has not been hidden from Prince Ping's Mansion.

Qin Laojiu said something wrong earlier, so he didn't dare to hang around in front of His Royal Highness Ping Wang, so he just rode on the wall, kowtowed melon seeds, and looked at the bustle here, so he had the right to have fun for himself.

This person can't control his mouth either. Every day he sees something new, he has to go to Gu Feibai and talk about it, and the words will naturally reach the ears of His Highness King Ping.

Therefore, although His Royal Highness Prince Ping intentionally did not go to see Prince Jian Xiao, he did not care about the other party's affairs at all.

Hearing the news that Jian Xiaoshizi was building a ship, His Highness Prince Ping raised his eyebrows, inexplicably looking forward to it.
