In a few days, it will be the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of May. There will be a dragon boat race outside Lanlian City. The emperor will also bring the queen and the dragon son and dragon girl to watch. After Ming Xixi learned about it, he immediately went to Qinrui Palace.
She asked the eunuch Xiaosheng to help her and asked him to send a message to Hua Xiaoxi and Cheng Dieyun, agreeing to watch the dragon boat race together on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. She also asked another eunuch, Xiaomian, to help her deliver the message to Hua'er in another courtyard outside the city.
Since she had to go to class every day, Ming Xixi couldn't go out and go shopping, so she had to postpone it. After that fight, everyone got along more harmoniously, and even Mu Ge's paralyzed face gradually showed some expressions.
Because everyone lived in the palace and had dinner together every day at noon, Mu Yun wanted to shirk the need to send delicious food, but he regretted it, so he kept it in his account and implemented it in the future. Mu Yun touched his chin and thought for a moment.
His face was filled with anger.
On the tenth day, when meal time was approaching, Mu Ting suddenly appeared in Qinrui Palace. Ming Xixi was overjoyed. This most beautiful and cold princess also came to join in the fun. What does it mean? Doesn't it mean that the rules and regulations of the palace are denser than a spider's web?
These princes and princesses long for a happy, relaxed and free atmosphere in their hearts.
After lunch, it was rest time. The four girls were lying in rows on the huge bed where Ming Xixi slept, chirping and chatting without feeling sleepy. The four little boys were resting next door, where there were only two soft couches.
, the eunuch moved two soft couches from elsewhere, which were enough for four people to rest. Chatting next door, it was not quiet here either. The four of them sometimes gossiped about the gossip they heard, folk jokes, and sometimes discussed martial arts classes, and they were in high spirits.
We will also get up and discuss things.
As the saying goes, when three heroes work together and eight children are together, everything will turn into chaos. The flowerpots that were originally neatly arranged in Qinrui Palace were all moved to the corner of the courtyard, leaving an empty space in the entire courtyard.
In a large area, there was double rope dancing, burden dancing, eagles catching chickens, martial arts competitions, bragging competitions... The eunuchs and maids who passed by the walls of Qinrui Palace were curious about the excitement inside.
Ever since Ming Xixi taught a red song "Unity is Strength", every time before a meal, majestic singing would be heard from the dining table in Qinrui Palace. One day Emperor Zong Zheng suddenly wanted to come and see the little boy he had chosen.
Before the girl got close to the door, she heard singing coming from inside. He listened carefully, but found the lyrics exciting and couldn't help but speed up and walk towards the door.
Eight children sat around the stone table in the pavilion. The table was filled with delicacies. After the dinner song was finished, when someone said "Let's start", everyone let go of their stomachs and picked up their rice bowls with laughter.
Pick up chopsticks.
"Fifth sister, I'll give you your favorite braised pork." Mu Liang first picked up two pieces and put them in Ming Xixi's bowl, and then started to eat the vegetables himself.
"Fifth sister, the chicken wings are here." Ming Xiulei also picked up a chicken wing and put it in his sister's bowl.
Ming Xixi sat between Mu Liang and Fourth Brother, thanking each other, abandoned her chopsticks, and used her hands as chopsticks to eat the chicken wings. Mu Tong looked at Ming Xixi enviously, and suddenly there was a delicious pork knuckle in the bowl. She raised her eyes and looked
, facing Ming Xiulei’s smile, he quickly said thank you, and instantly felt warm in his heart.
Ming Xiulei said with a smile: "Today I will pick up food for people who are younger than me. As long as they are younger than me, I will pick them up."
Mu Min glanced at him frustratedly, glanced at his two brothers, and said to himself: "Oh, Xixi is so lucky. Every time, his brother helps pick up the food. Min'er has a hard life, and every time there is no one to help."
Pick up vegetables.”
Ming Xixi turned to her sideways, and when she heard this, she pointed at the two princes who were gnawing chicken wings, and said in a long voice: "Brothers of the second and third emperors..."
Mu Yun rolled her eyes at her, stood up, put a chopstick of vegetables into Mu Min's bowl, and muttered "Housekeeper". Mu Ge picked up a sweet and sour fish roll and was about to put it into Ming Xixi's bowl, Ming Xixi hurriedly
He moved the rice bowl and shouted: "No, no, no, Xi'er will be allergic to fish rolls."
"Who said I want to eat it for you?" Mu Ge held the fish roll and turned it around on the dining table, and finally dropped it into his mouth. Mu Min lowered his head again and found that there was another sea cucumber with stamens in the bowl. Mu Liang smiled and said
Looking at her: "I gave it to Sixth Emperor Sister."
The young masters did not want anyone to wait on them while they were eating. Several palace maids and eunuchs were sitting idle in the courtyard. Suddenly they saw the emperor coming. They were all frightened and quickly knelt down and bowed their heads: "Slave/servant, please pay homage to the emperor."
"No worries, get up." Emperor Zong Zheng glanced at the source of the sound and walked towards the pavilion.
"Father?" Mu Tong faced the entrance of the pavilion. When he raised his eyes and saw Emperor Zong Zheng, he shouted unconsciously. The others raised their heads and turned around after hearing the sound, and the pavilion immediately became quiet. Except for Ming Xixi, everyone was nervous and uneasy.
Emperor Zong Zheng looked at the group of children. They all had their mouths full of oil and rice grains in their mouths. The ten vegetable plates were almost bottomless. The second prince sat slanted, and the sixth princess held a duck neck in her hand.
Xixi was even more exaggerated. She had pig trotters in one hand and sheep bones in the other, her cheeks were shiny, and she had one calf bent up and resting on a chair. The gnawed bones and fish bones were thrown on the floor.
"Children, please bow to your father." Mu Ting was the most well-behaved one when eating. She quickly stood up and left her seat, went up to salute. Others stood up to leave their seats, and Emperor Zong Zheng waved his hands in a hurry, and said with a smile: "Sit down, you continue to eat.
.”
She looked at Ming Xixi and said, "Xixi, do you like living here?"
"It's okay to have royal delicacies to eat every day." Ming Xixi saw the emperor's smile on his face and seemed to be in a good mood, so he boldly said, "Your Majesty, the food is delicious in the crowds, so the Emperor can come and eat with us tomorrow.
.”
Emperor Zong Zheng laughed and said teasingly: "You want me to imitate you, throwing bones all over the floor? After eating a meal, your face will be glowing?"
The children looked at me and I looked at you. They all looked shy and hurriedly took napkins to wipe their faces and mouths. Ming Xixi said indifferently: "What's the matter? The most important thing is to have a happy meal."
"Yes, the most important thing is to have a happy meal." Emperor Zong Zheng suddenly felt a little emotional about what he said to the child. "Just now, I heard someone singing. Who told me what song it was?"
Mu Ting said: "Father, I belong to the Xixi religion, and the song is called Unity is Strength."
"Oh? Xixi, where did you learn this song?" Emperor Zong Zheng asked with surprise. Ming Xixi said without thinking, "Xi'er learned it in Hancheng."
Hancheng? It's Hancheng again. Emperor Zong Zheng's thoughtful expression flashed past, and he said with a smile: "The song is sonorous and powerful, exciting, and the lyrics are excellent. Ting'er, you are responsible for recording this song for your father."
