Just as she was wondering, Haitang, who had gone downstairs to place a bet on the Imperial College team on behalf of Lu Zhenzhen, came back and reported, "Fourth Madam, the Fourth Master just sent Guyu to tell you that one of the people participating in the dragon boat race at the Imperial College has gotten sick and can't compete."

"The Imperial College asked the Fourth Master to come and help out in an emergency, and he has already agreed to go."

It turned out to be the case.

Lu Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief first.

Lan heard it too and was rather amused: "I was wondering why the fourth brother only showed up today. He hasn't been seen for quite some time. It seems he must have gone off to prepare for the competition!"

This statement means something.

After all, these days, everyone can see Fu Zhiyi and Lu Zhenzhen. If there is nothing else, Lu Zhenzhen can always see Fu Zhiyi no more than three feet away.

According to Fu Zhiyi's past style, even if he couldn't go upstairs to accompany Lu Zhenzhen, he would definitely be downstairs, not just to show his presence.

Today I feel like something is missing, and it's the lack of Fu Zhiyi's presence.

After hearing what Lan said, Jin and Qin couldn't help laughing.

We all watched these children in the family grow up.

No one noticed that Fu Zhiyi, who always looked the coldest, was the one who loved his wife the most after getting married.

Sometimes, the atmosphere between the young couple is so sweet that it makes their teeth ache when they see it as their elders.

Everyone joked a few times, since Fu Zhiyi was in the Imperial College team.

The Imperial College is our own people, so whether we win or not is another matter, and our momentum cannot be suppressed.

Led by the Princess of Shu, everyone asked the people around them to give orders, no matter which team they were escorting before, to replace them with the Imperial College team.

As long as the game has not started, you can change it.

Those responsible for registering and collecting money have long been accustomed to these operations.

It was done quickly.

Lu Zhenzhen originally had an indifferent attitude towards dragon boat racing. After all, she had seen too many competitive games in later life.

For example, when swimming, there are white fish in the waves, wearing swimming trunks, showing their eight-pack abs, which is really exciting to watch!

Nowadays, in dragon boat races, everyone is dressed tightly, with nothing exposed except the neck. What's so good about it?

But since Fu Zhiyi also participated, she became interested.

In addition to several small compartments inside the second-floor stands, there is actually a semi-open-air stand outside.

A circle was formed by half-human-high wooden railings, which were for the brave female relatives or the maids beside them to come out and watch the game.

Everyone is still reserved at the moment, but once the competition starts and gets intense, these women will become unable to sit still and will all run to the terrace.

Lu Zhenzhen couldn't wait until that time, and thinking that the time was almost up, she slipped out first and chose a place with the best view.

Let Dingxiang and Haitang bring a stool for me and occupy the advantageous position first.

When Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Sun saw this, they followed closely behind.

With the three of them leading the way, the other female members of the family also followed suit and rushed out.

He kept chattering and pointing at the team on the river in the distance.

When the women from the two nearby families saw this, they couldn't help themselves and ran out early.

The noise alarmed the men below and they sent people to ask what had happened.

When asked about their faces, the female relatives were a little embarrassed. How should they answer?

Or the Crown Prince's wife made up an excuse and sent the man away without blinking an eye.

As soon as the person left, Zhao couldn't help but cover her face with a handkerchief and pointed at Lu Zhenzhen with one hand: "We have all been led astray by you. Look, those men down there think something has happened. If the men knew about this, wouldn't they laugh at us?"

Lu Zhenzhen rolled her eyes without hesitation: "What are you talking about, Third Sister-in-law? I came out early because my husband is participating in the competition. I was worried about him. I'm doing it openly and honestly. What's there to be afraid of? You followed me out on your own, and you blame me?"

I don’t know what happened to Zhao. She was doing fine in the village.

After coming back, he always had to poke himself or find fault with himself from time to time while talking.

It's obvious that I can't get any good results from this, but I still enjoy doing it.

He was agreeing with me just now, but after just a few words, he came back again.

What's that? Good at playing!

Zhao opened her mouth, unable to think of how to refute.

However, Liu Sisi, who was next to her, hid behind Zhao and twitched the corners of her mouth a few times.

Zhao immediately became confident and said, "We are also here to cheer up Fourth Brother! Why are you still not happy, Fourth Brother's wife?"

Just as Lu Zhenzhen was about to retort, she heard a drum sound, and then everything around her fell silent.

After three drum beats, two soldiers holding colorful flags were seen by the river, lowering the flags they were holding high.

Immediately, a dozen dragon boats paddled out from the starting point like arrows.

After a moment of silence, there was overwhelming cheering, applause and screams.

Everyone suddenly lost their thoughts and all their attention was focused on the dragon boat on the river.

Only Lu Zhenzhen still devoted half of her attention to Liu Sisi.

To be honest, the starting point of the dragon boat race is still far away from the stands of the Shu Palace, and you can only vaguely identify which team it is by the color.

The Imperial College wore blue shorts today, the Imperial Guards wore black, the Military Affairs Department wore red, and there were also purple, yellow, orange and several other colors, which was dazzling to look at.

If I were to write a short essay, I would probably write it like there are a dozen giant pythons on the river.

But in Lu Zhenzhen's eyes, the dozen or so dragon boats were like a dozen or so big snakes. Except for the first two or three that were moving at a very fast speed, the rest were just like pupae on the river surface.

It makes people want to laugh when watching it.

The blue team of the Imperial College is currently ranked third, only behind the Imperial Guards and the Military Affairs Department, and only half a boat space behind the second place.

Lu Zhenzhen hadn't reacted yet, but Sun got excited first.

She completely changed her usual arrogant demeanor, her voice almost splitting with excitement: "The Imperial College is now ranked third! Third! Row faster, faster——"

Although Hu had also changed his bet to the Imperial College team, he still discussed the matter objectively: "I think the Military Affairs Division has a better chance of winning! They are now ranked first, and they are a boat ahead! And those people in the Military Affairs Division are no match for those scholars in the Imperial College—"

Sun was anxious: "Sister-in-law, no matter how good the Bingmasi are, they are still outsiders! How can you let others' prestige destroy your own ambition? You should cheer for the Imperial College team! What's so good about those rough and tumble soldiers in the Bingmasi?"

As he spoke, he grabbed Hu's collar and asked her to follow him to cheer for the Imperial College team.

Hu, whose fate had caught her by the collar, rolled her eyes and reluctantly joined in cheering for the Imperial College.
