"Your Highness, the rice dumplings for the Dragon Boat Festival have been prepared in advance."

The establishment of the East Palace staff is not difficult for Su Wanqing, who is in charge of Qianji Pavilion. The selection of people must be based on their knowledge, not only their character, but also their abilities and skills.

Yu Ziyan helped Su select a group of officials from the existing officials in the imperial court in the late Qing Dynasty.

"Mint, you did a good job. I asked Shuyu to give you an extra gift. You have worked hard making rice dumplings these days."

Su Wanqing looked at the porridge list handed over by Mint, thinking that during the Dragon Boat Festival, some rice dumplings should be given to the people, so in addition to the porridge, he also added rice dumplings.

Mint did a good job and was even more happy to get the reward. She watched Su Wanqing walking outside and asked, "Your Highness, are you going out?"

"Yuanli is not here, Shuyu is busy calculating the account books at the end of last month. Everyone in the house is busy with other things, so I went out alone to relax."

Mint smiled and gave Su Wanqing a sachet filled with moxa leaves and calamus. It was shaped like a rice dumpling and embroidered with five poisons in a delicate stitching technique, which meant to ward off evil spirits.

"When His Royal Highness goes out, wearing this item can repel poisonous insects."

Su Wanqing took it, thanked him, and turned around to hold his Xue Hua Cong.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, when the sun is at its peak, it is the time when the sun is at its strongest. It is also the favorite time for dragon boat races among the nobles of Yunchuan.

In the palace, the old emperor ate fasting and chanted Buddha's name, keeping his mind clear of desires. At the royal family banquet, he ate a rice dumpling and hid in the Buddhist hall. Seeing this, Princess Meiyuan laughed and said nothing, and left soon after.

Su Wanqing didn't speak the whole time, watching the royal family each have their own agenda. The prince, who was originally detained by the imperial censor because of Qi's advocacy, was just going through the motions in jail. The old emperor cursed a few words at that time, and immediately ordered someone to arrest him after his anger subsided. Fish out these precious sons.

After the royal family banquet, Su Wanqing, as the current prince and future emperor, followed Su Bai to Yuanshui outside Yunchuan City for military exercises.

When he came back, it was already noon. Su Wanqing had a hasty meal of a bowl of scallion noodles and planned to go to the porridge shed where porridge was served.

Wanting to be low-key, I deliberately wore the goose-yellow round collar robe from before, without even a single peony.

The internal struggle in Yun Dynasty was fierce. There were two giants, Su Bai and King Pingyang, fighting for power inside. Outside, there was the evil-minded Hanxiao Kingdom. Because the royal family and the aristocratic family had money around them, their lives were still enjoyable. In the late Qing Dynasty, Su Oh my god, I heard Wang Can, who was getting promoted, complaining that this year's calamus wine was not as mellow as in previous years.

Fine wine is made from grain. In times of abundance, it doesn't matter much if the excess grain is used to make wine. However, in troubled times, grain is not enough.

Su Wanqing held the rice dumpling sachet in her hand and thought about the past when she was a child, begging for food everywhere. She felt depressed. Smoke and dust were rising over there, and several heads popped out from the middle. They were all used for playing polo, shouting. Heading towards Leyouyuan.

Considering that Su Bai had celebrated his birthday and drove all the people in the city out of the city, Su Wanqing specially built the porridge shed in the open space outside the city. Unexpectedly, there were too many people and beggars queuing up to receive the porridge. One of the horses was frightened and headed for the porridge shed.

The owner of the frightened horse was lucky enough to jump off the horse before the horse ran away wildly, and rolled in a ball on the muddy ground.

The frightened horse was running rampant, and at the critical moment, Su Wanqing threw out two poisonous darts coated with mandala, which hit the horse's neck. She rode Xue Hua Cong, and hurried over to stop the frightened horse, which was swaying from left to right.

Unexpectedly, the frightened horse was whipped out of the air with a whip. The force was so strong that the frightened horse's skin and flesh were torn open with the whip, and a stream of blood spattered out.

Lu Ling restrained Wu Yeting, his sharp eagle eyes scanned the messy accident scene, and his tone was unkind.

"Whose family does this beast belong to?"

The female military attache riding a tall horse behind her held the reins and stopped the horse that was spinning left and right. She also had a strange look on her face.

"You don't need to look at the bridle. How many families in Yunchuan City can raise such a bad temper? I have heard from people outside the city several times that there is a crazy horse trampling the vegetable seedlings. Maybe it is the one in front of us."

Seeing that the frightened horse was completely stopped, Su Wanqing dismounted, helped up the old man and child who had fallen to the ground, and called the female officer in charge to ask a doctor to see the injury.

Su Wanqing also had an angry look on his face, but his face didn't look too angry, just gloomy.

"It turns out that His Royal Highness is also here."

The female military attache immediately turned over and bowed to Su Wanqing in a proper manner.

The same goes for Lu Ling.

"Commander Lu, General Xue wants to watch the dragon boat race?"

Su Wanqing was still squatting on the ground, supporting a little girl who had bruised her knee.

Xue Ruyi is a mixed race. Her mother is a foreign businessman from Quanzhou. She was born to a native of Yun State. She became an official in the military examination and now works in the Ministry of War. In the past few years, she fought with Lu Ting against the Di Kingdom in the northwest. She became famous in one fell swoop and won the title of General Ling Xiao. title.

"That's what I meant originally, but looking at the situation, Wei Chen can't go."

Lu Lingdao.

Xue Ruyi: "Wei Chen is the same as Commander Lu."

"Then please help me. We don't have enough manpower at the porridge shed. We need your two generals to help me build some new porridge sheds."

Su Wanqing looked at the white porridge that had been knocked over by the horse, and then at the female official serving the porridge. Fortunately, the porridge that Xia Tian prepared was not hot porridge, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

I felt sorry for the female officer who was doing the work, and also felt sorry for the wasted white porridge.

Su Wanqing handed the child at hand to Lu Ling and walked straight towards the son of aristocratic family who was not good at riding horses.

"If you don't know how to ride a horse, go home and practice hard. Today you killed and injured someone. How many lives do you have to pay for it?"

Most of the people who come to receive porridge are sallow-looking women and children, as well as very old women. There are some beggars, but there are very few.

The child of the aristocratic family was dressed in dazzling clothes. He was less than twenty years old. He already had a crown inlaid with topaz on his head, and was wearing brocade and satin, with a gold-encrusted belt around his waist.

He was arrogant and looked sideways at Su Wanqing, who was wearing plain robes. "Young master, I like to ride horses outside the city. I just saw you throwing things at my horse. It is a bloody horse from the Western Regions. You can give it to me." I broke it, can you afford to pay for it?"

Su Wanqing became angry and clenched his fists, wanting to throw a poison dart down the boy's throat. It would be best to make him mute for the rest of his life.

"You frightened your horse and knocked over Gu's porridge shed. How dare you compensate Gu Lun?"

The companions who were playing polo with this boy ran all the way out, but they didn't notice that anyone was missing from the team, and they all rushed to the banquet happily.

The young man was still sneering, and he didn't take Su Wanqing seriously, "Don't talk nonsense in front of me. The prince of the dynasty is watching the Yuanshui military drill with Shuntian Hou. How can he have time to give porridge at the city gate? Be careful, this young master will charge you with lese majeste!"

The boy seemed to be spoiled at home, and the more he talked, the more excited he became. Su Wanqing was silent with a bad face, regretting not bringing Xiao Zi out.

Xue Ru over there noticed the excitement here and came over specifically, "It's a coincidence. Your Highness, haven't you recently been reviewing the Pei family's rebellion case? This boy is the youngest son of the Jingzhao Yin family, Xia Cong."
