My husband is pure and has few desires, but I gave birth to three children in a row

Nanny Lian was waiting with her people in the audience. When she saw Old Madam Bai, she immediately stepped forward with a smile to greet her: "Old Madam is finally here. Come on, please come upstairs!"

After saying that, he came forward to support the old lady Bai.

The grandstand built by the Prince of Shu's Palace is a two-story building.

The lower area is where the men watch the game, and the upper area is where the women watch the game.

Old Lady Bai came upstairs and first wanted to pay her respects to the Princess of Shu.

She was personally supported by the Crown Prince's Consort and taken to the side of the Princess of Shu, where the mother and daughter sat down opposite each other.

As for the others, they all came forward to greet each other.

Then the host and guest sat down.

Next, the King of Shu, along with his Crown Prince and the other young masters of the Shu Palace came up to pay their respects to Bai, as she was her legitimate mother-in-law after all.

How could the Bai family dare to accept the gift from the King of Shu, so they exchanged some pleasantries.

Lu Zhenzhen took this opportunity to glance at the young masters of the Prince of Shu's Mansion in the crowd.

The prince has an elegant face and looks like a gentleman.

On the other hand, the second young master, although he was handsome, had a sinister look in his eyes and eyebrows, and it was obvious that he did not have the face of a good person.

Seeing that he was not on good terms with the other brothers in the Prince of Shu's Mansion, he stood aside alone, looking smug as if he was the only one sober while everyone else was drunk, and that you were all ants and that he would be successful soon.

However, although he does not look like a good person, he is honest in front of the King of Shu.

After following the Prince of Shu to pay his respects to Old Lady Bai, he went downstairs with everyone else.

Only after the men had gone away did the women relax.

This time, Concubine Yu was still under house arrest and had not come out. What came out with her were Concubine Wang and several concubines who had always been respectful to the Princess of Shu.

They were all very tactful and said a few polite words. Knowing that the Princess of Shu was going to have some affectionate time with her family, they took their people to the small compartment next door.

The second-floor stands are divided into several compartments, which are used as temporary changing and resting places.

As soon as the concubines left, the second floor was at least half empty.

The Princess of Shu and Old Lady Bai held each other's hands and exchanged a few intimate words.

Bai looked around and noticed that someone was missing. "Why is Qingning nowhere to be seen?"

The Princess of Shu smiled and said, "Qingning was summoned by the Imperial Concubine the other day and stayed in the palace. Today, she and the Fourth Princess are accompanying the Imperial Concubine! She will leave the palace with the Imperial Concubine soon. When she has time, she will come to pay her respects to you."

Bai knew that her granddaughter had a very good relationship with the Imperial Concubine's fourth princess and was highly valued by the Imperial Concubine, so she felt relieved.

Seeing Lu Zhenzhen and the others sitting aside awkwardly, he smiled and said, "Alright, you don't have to stay here with us, go have fun! Just one thing, if you want to go out, you have to bring someone with you! There are so many people outside today, and if you get bumped into, it's no joke!"

Not only did the Hu family members show joy, even the Crown Prince's wife was somewhat tempted.

After thinking for a while, he said, "It's not good to leave no one to serve in front of Mother and the Old Lady. I'll stay and let my cousin's wife and cousins ​​go out and play."

The Princess of Shu waved her hand. "We're not so old that we can't even speak clearly. What do you need? What are all these servants here for? Why do you need to serve us? I came here around the same time as you. I've been stuck in the house all day, and now that I've finally come out, what's the fun of hanging around with a bunch of us old ladies?"

"Besides, you young people are noisy and will make my head hurt if you make too much noise! ​​Please leave here quickly so that we can talk in peace and quiet."

The Crown Prince's Consort then stood up with a smile, apologized, and led her people to the next compartment.

We were talking in the compartment leaning against the window, which was all pushed open. We could see the stands next door, which also had their windows open, and were filled with young women chatting and laughing.

Hu first saw her old handkerchief friend, who also saw her and waved his handkerchief. Then Hu took the maid to talk to them.

After a while, the Crown Prince's wife also saw her friend, and looked at Sun, Lu Zhenzhen and the others with some hesitation.

Sun and Lu Zhenzhen hurriedly told the Crown Princess to go as she pleased, as they also needed to talk to someone later.

The Crown Princess left happily.

Sun and Zhao also saw their natal family members and left on their own.

Only Lu Zhenzhen was left. In the eyes of outsiders, she looked lonely and pitiful.

But Lu Zhenzhen didn't want to be too comfortable.

This is equivalent to a top-level event. You have a top-level private room all to yourself, and are treated with good tea and snacks, with servants surrounding you to serve you. How can it be pitiful?

Don't enjoy it too much, okay?

The dragon boat race is not due to start until the Si hour, but now it is still the Chen hour and the riverside is already crowded with people.

The royal and noble families would build their own stands, while ordinary officials and their families would book private rooms in restaurants and teahouses along the river to watch the games.

For ordinary people, it would be good enough to find a suitable place by the river with their families.

There are also some agile teenagers who can climb up trees.

From a distance, the willow trees by the river seemed to be full of people, sitting on the trees in various postures like monkeys.

The streets were also crowded with people, in addition to the people who came to watch the game.

There were also errand boys in restaurants and shops, or servants in the homes of nobles, busy running back and forth.

The boys and girls selling flowers were all dressed up today, carrying baskets filled with fresh and juicy flowers of various colors.

They are all seasonal flowers of this season, such as gardenia and jasmine.

The fragrance is elegant and refreshing.

Many young girls and wives who love beauty and coquettishness will buy a small bunch and put them in their hair, pin them on their lapels, or put them in sachets.

When you walk, you can smell the fragrance everywhere.

Lu Zhenzhen considers herself a worldly person, and has loved the fragrance of wild flowers such as gardenia and honeysuckle since she was a child.

In the small city where she was born, every time this season comes, the streets are full of vendors selling gardenias, jasmines, and honeysuckle.

Buy a small bunch and take it home. Store it in clean water and your home will smell fragrant for several days.

Seeing them at this moment, it aroused her little homesickness. She couldn't help but tell Haitang to go downstairs and ask the errand boy to buy a basket for each of them.

Haitang got the order and went downstairs. She found a servant who used to run errands for the third house, gave him a few instructions, and stuffed a purse into his hand.

Not long after, they came up with two baskets of gardenias and jasmine flowers.

Green leaves and white flowers with a fragrant aroma.

As soon as they got to the second floor, everyone could smell it.

The Princess of Shu and the others who were gossiping smelled it and couldn't help asking, "What kind of flower is this? It smells so good."

Lu Zhenzhen came out of the inner compartment and had Haitang place two baskets of flowers in front of the Shu Princess and everyone else. "These are wild flowers, grown more often by ordinary families. This one is called gardenia, and this one is called jasmine. Although they're inconspicuous, they're incredibly fragrant. They're my favorites. I saw them upstairs just now and couldn't help but have my maid go downstairs and buy two baskets. I'm sorry to have made Aunt laugh."

Because of the noise, the concubine Wang came out from the inner compartment with several girls from the Prince of Shu's Mansion and happened to hear these words.

One of them couldn't help but show contempt.
