The daily life of the little princess of the royal group

The weather in May is already very hot and humid.

When they returned home, it was already evening. Xiao Mingyue changed into comfortable and breathable clothes.

During the days that Mingyang was away from home, he would communicate with Mingyue every day, sometimes with a letter, sometimes with wild fruits from the mountains.

Gradually, she adapted to such a life, as if she could see her elder brother every day.

Mingyue would always draw a simple sketch, briefly explaining what happened that day; occasionally she would also write a small letter using the only words she knew.

Zhao Mingyang's little heart, which missed his family, seemed to be comforted.

Yesterday, Zhao Mingyang sent a message saying that he would be home before dinner today.

So Mingyue sat on the swing in the yard and began to wait.

"Woof woof woof! Woof woof woof!" Little Gungun suddenly stood up, barked towards the door, and wagged his tail excitedly.

He turned back and bit Mingyue's skirt, pulling her forward.

"Little Gungun, why are you pulling me?" Mingyue looked confused.

The maidservants nearby ran over anxiously, fearing that Xiao Gungun would hurt her.

"Sister! I'm back!" It was Mingyang's voice.

"Brother! I miss you so much." Little Mingyue rushed forward like a butterfly and threw herself on Mingyang.

Minghao followed behind him, "Sister, our Gungun is so amazing. He can tell that big brother is back just by smelling the scent."

"Come here, little Roller." He said, holding a piece of dried meat in his hand and teasing the little Roller.

The little maidservant beside him was also shocked by Gungun's intelligence, so there were more rumors praising him.

The evening sun shines through the window onto the dining table.

The whole family never follows the saying "Don't talk while eating, don't talk while sleeping".

While eating dinner, Mingyang told his parents about his life studying in the mountains.

Jiang Mengrou and Yunshan's expressions became particularly focused.

Even Minghao and Ganfan Wang Xiaomingyue listened carefully.

After all, it’s one thing for my brother to write in a letter, but I still want to hear about his life from his own mouth.

Jiang Mengrou's eyes were full of bitterness. She gently put down her chopsticks and asked, "Boss, no one bullied you in the mountains, right?"

"Mother, you think too much. Master and my fellow apprentices are all very kind to me."

Jiang Mengrou didn't seem completely reassured. She continued to ask, "Really? Think about it carefully. Are you hiding anything unhappy from your mother?"

Mingyang felt his mother's deep concern, held her hand, and said seriously, "Don't worry, mother, I am very happy and have learned a lot."

"My senior brothers all treat me like their younger brother. They are even worried that I don't eat well. Some of them even cook for me personally."

Zhao listened silently on the side and patted Jiang Mengrou's hand. "When the child grows up, he will take care of himself."

The family of five looked at each other and smiled.

A warm atmosphere rose around the dining table.

At night, Xiao Mingyue had just finished washing up when she heard the voice of the little maid next door, "My uncle is here..."

Uncle? Isn’t that the emperor’s uncle?

The emperor often visited the general's mansion, and the servants called him uncle because of Jiang Mengrou's relationship with him.

There is also an exquisite courtyard in the front yard. Was it specially left for him by Jiang Mengrou, or was it a location he chose himself?

Xiao Mingyue woke up instantly and called Yunying to ask her in detail.

It turned out that in the middle of the night, Jiang Hetang couldn't wait until tomorrow, so he came to the general's mansion.

He has now rested in the front yard, and the maid only came to inform Jiang Mengrou.

After figuring it out, Xiao Mingyue felt sleepy again after a while.

Yunying saw that she had fallen asleep, so she tucked the quilt in for her and went out.

The next day, Mingyue was still dreaming, but she woke up because of Minghao's teasing.

"Xiao Mingyue, hurry up and get up, there's a dragon boat race to watch today!"

Mingyue blinked, still confused, and closed her eyes again.

Minghao didn't care about her and asked Yunying and the others to dress her up.

When Mingyue woke up completely, she was already in the wobbly carriage.

"Ah! Why am I here?" Mingyue suddenly opened her eyes.

"Little lazy pig, you just woke up now." Mingyang touched Meimei's face.

Beside him were Jiang Mengrou, Jiang Hetang, and his two brothers, and his father Zhao Yunshan was riding on a horse.

Outside the carriage, there was a hustle and bustle of people and a lot of noise, and all kinds of shouting could be heard.

“Freshly baked rice dumplings!”

“Sweet and delicious rice dumplings!”

The cries of hawkers attracted people to stop and take a look.

Mingyue pulled aside the car curtain and looked outside with longing. It was nothing special, she just liked the hustle and bustle.

The vendors selling rice dumplings were busy wrapping them. The aroma of glutinous rice and rice dumplings filled the air, making people salivate.

In addition to the rice dumpling stalls, the most common stalls are those selling sachets.

"Come and take a look at this beautiful sachet!"

"Handmade sachets have a long-lasting fragrance!" These sachets are colorful and embroidered with various patterns, attracting the attention of many girls and children.

After a while, Zhao Yunshan rode on his horse and gave Mingyue the small rice dumplings and sachets he had just bought.

It was so cool! I could go shopping without having to walk, and someone even helped me buy snacks! It was so cool!

The carriage moved slowly and swayed as it moved, and slowly stopped in front of Zuixian Tower.

Built along the Huanglong River, the Zuixian Tower is magnificent and a perfect place to watch the games.

Arrived at the box where I had made an appointment with Tianzhen in advance.

This box was booked by Tian Zhen a year ago.

Reservations are very popular on weekdays, not to mention that this is the best place to watch the dragon boat race during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Tian Zhen saw that Jiang Hetang, who was following behind Jiang Mengrou, was somewhat surprised and somewhat understood.

As for Zhao Yunshan? For the sake of his brother-in-law's happiness, he could only stay alone in the next box, feeling wronged.

As the eldest princess, she had her own private rooms in many restaurants.

"Sister Jiang" Yuan Tianzhen saluted.

"Sister Yuan, you look even more beautiful after not seeing you for a few days." Jiang Mengrou saw that she was wearing a light yellow brocade skirt today, which made her look gentle and lovely.

The three little kids followed suit and shouted, "Hello, Auntie Tianzhen."

Little Mingyue threw herself into Tianzhen's arms. She was still wearing the big gold locket around her neck today.

Jiang Hetang also called out "Miss Yuan."

"Master Zhao" Yuan Tianzhen returned the greeting.

This name made Jiang Mengrou look at him and curse inwardly: Useless thing, you haven't confessed your identity to the girl yet.

Jiang Mengrou was chatting with Tian Zhen, and Jiang Hetang was also drinking tea, pretending to look at the scenery on the riverside outside the window, but he was taking note of every word of their conversation.

Three children stood in a row by the window on small stools.

There were already a lot of people gathered on the bank of the Huanglong River.

Everyone is waiting for the game to start.

This dragon boat race was initiated by the imperial court and organized by private chambers of commerce.

The winner will also receive a plaque of "Best Dragon Boat Racer" written by the emperor himself, awarded by the court.

Collected every year and distributed every year.

Merchants from all over the country spontaneously built dragon boats, vying to take the lead today and increase their popularity.

Ordinary people would join in the fun and place their bets.

"Brother, little sister, let's cheer for Lin Siyu's dragon boat together later!" Minghao excitedly promoted the Lin family.

"Is this the family that brought little Gungun here?" Mingyue seemed to have heard of this name before.

At the beginning, Minghao snatched Xiao Gungun away and was beaten up.

"Yes! That's him!"

"Lin Siyu? Does he have a brother named Lin Sixiu?" Minghao's eyes lit up when he heard the familiar name.

"Brother, how do you know? He said his eldest brother is very good at studying, and his name is something like "Thoughts on the Philosophy of the Cultivators."

"What a coincidence! His elder brother is also my senior brother."

"What a coincidence!" "What a coincidence!" The two siblings clapped their hands excitedly!

"Then we should cheer them on even more!" Minghao shouted excitedly!

"What's wrong?" Jiang Mengrou noticed their movements.

When Mingyang told the story, Jiang Mengrou also thought it was a coincidence.

Although the Lin family was a merchant family, their son, Lin Sixiu, was well-educated and a senior apprentice of Mingyang's. Their second son was also close friends with Mingyang's son...

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Mengrou called Yunying and asked her to find the waiter to bet one thousand taels to the Lin family.

When Jiang Hetang heard this, he began to think deeply.

The imperial examinations of the Great Zhou Dynasty had only three restrictions:

Those with criminal records could not register for the imperial examination; women could not take the imperial examination; and opera practitioners could not take the imperial examination.

If the eldest son of the Lin family can pass the imperial examination in the future, it would not be useless.
