The fifth day of May is the Dragon Boat Festival. This year's festival is more lively than in previous years.

Because of the death of his son, Yanbei has been silent for a year. Even the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month has lost some lights. However, the excitement of the festival will not be affected. Since ancient times, dragon boat racing, calamus hanging and mugwort bathing are originated from tribal sacrifices to drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters. Yanbei Palace also ordered that this year's dragon boat race can be added with a few boats to make the scene more lively.

The dragon boat needs to be launched in advance, so the Dragon Boat Race in Yunyang city will start in the afternoon.

In the morning, Ren Yaohua sent someone to send rice dumplings. There were five kernels, dates, red beans, and meat dumplings that people in the south like. They filled a full basket. Li left some, and the rest was given to the people by mother Zhou, who said it was sent back by the eldest lady.

Lei's servant who sent zongzi said that Lei's family would still have a dragon boat to be launched this year, but Ren Yaohua could not go because he was pregnant. Only thunder and Lei Zhen took the hope son to go.

Xiao Jinglin seems to be busy recently. Before the Dragon Boat Festival, Xiao Jinglin sent a letter to Ren Yaoqi, saying that he might not be able to go to the dragon boat race with Ren Yaoqi this year. Although Ren Yaoqi has some regrets, she also guesses that Xiao Jinglin's busy life may have something to do with Liao people's affairs. Xiao Jinglin has been in Jiajing pass for many years, and has many fights with the Liao people. She knows more about the border than many people.

Therefore, although this year's dragon boat race is more lively than in previous years, but because Ren Yaohua and Xiao Jinglin can't go, Ren Yaoqi feels a lot less interesting.

In the afternoon, Ren Yaoqi and Li's family took a carriage to the outside of the city. This year's dragon boat race is still in the Liyang river section outside the city. When Ren Yaoqi and Li's family passed, they could see the more than 20 dragon boats on the river from the river bank. One of them was bigger than the others. The dragon head and dragon body were made of gold paint, which was very magnificent and attractive from a distance.

When Ren Yaoqi and Li Shi got off the carriage by the Bank of the river, there were many maids standing on the Bank of the river who did not know which family they were, pointing to the dragon boat in the middle of the river.

Li can't help but look at a few eyes, surprised: "this boat is magnificent, compared with other boats, I don't know which one?" It's no wonder Li asked. The dragon boat with the flag of Yanbei palace is next to the Golden Dragon. The dragon boat's head has been in the palace for several years. Although it has been maintained every year, it is a bit out of color compared with the golden dragon which glitters in the sun.

Ren Yaoqi took a look and said with a smile: "it is said that the imperial court has boats to take part in the dragon boat race this year."

Li Shi clearly nodded: "so it is!"

At this time, there happened to be a humanitarian: "I don't know whose boat can take this year, and hope to keep at least one chapter of the manuscript. In this way, the update time can be predicted. We don't have to wait until the flowers are all thank you, and the author doesn't have to worry about it 〒_ 〒
