Because it is the Dragon Boat Festival, after eating and drinking, there is always something lucky.

Compared with other festivals, the Dragon Boat Festival in the palace is very close to the people, and is no different from the folk. Before eating the rice dumplings, the nobles also like to play small games such as shooting rice dumplings with horns and fighting with hundreds of herbs to add to the fun.

The palace attendants presented bows with horns, arrows without arrowheads, and rice dumplings.

At this time, it was time for the noble ladies to present rice dumplings.

None of them came empty-handed.

The ladies, according to their status, held the rice dumplings wrapped by themselves and presented them to the concubines.

First, the princesses with the most noble status.

His Majesty, the Emperor of Daxuan Kingdom, had many offspring and gave birth to more than thirty princes and princesses in total. Although a few of them died in infancy, there were still more than twenty heirs.

In addition to the married ones, there were seven or eight princesses in the palace. They came forward in order according to their age.

After the princesses, there are the princesses and heads of the princes’ families.

Princess Anqing, the apple of King Zhang Shu's eye, ranked behind the princesses and presented a small plate of tiger-head rice dumplings, one as big as a fist. The rice dumplings were quite satisfactory, but they were unanimously praised by the queen and concubines, who also rewarded her with Ge.

Yarn, sachet, fan, etc.

Princess Anqing turned around with the reward in her hands, her eyes passing over Li Yingning.

She thought that Li Yingning must be looking aloof and serious again.

Unexpectedly, Li Yingning was holding her chin up and looking at her with a smile.

Princess Anqing didn't expect this, she subconsciously averted her eyes for a moment, but then she realized that she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

Why is she hiding?

"I heard that the eldest lady of the Lihou family is not only talented and beautiful, but also has a clever mind. She will definitely be able to make extremely exquisite and colorful rice dumplings." Princess Anqing smiled and said to Queen Wei, "My daughter is clumsy, I really want to make it."

Get to know it."

In fact, she had already known from Li Siyao that Li Yingning couldn't make rice dumplings at all, and the rice dumplings she brought were not made by herself at all.

If she dares to take other people's rice dumplings as her own...

This is bullying.

Princess Anqing sneered.

As expected, Queen Wei looked at Li Yingning with a smile and asked: "Yingning, did you bring rice dumplings?"

"Go back to the Queen, I have brought you with me."

Li Yingning stood up and came forward holding a plate of rice dumplings.

It was a plate of small five-cornered rice dumplings, wrapped with colorful silk threads and with green leaves, which was very eye-catching.

"Ah, what a unique rice dumpling." Concubine Shu was the first to applaud her niece, "I don't like those big rice dumplings. Such small and delicate ones, one for two or three mouths, are suitable.

Too much is not good.”

This statement made it clear that he disliked the rice dumplings presented by Princess Anqing.

Princess Anqing pouted secretly.

Praise, praise hard!

The harder you praise now, the more crisply you will be slapped in the face later!

Queen Wei smiled and said: "Sure enough, the rice dumplings are so exquisite. I didn't expect Ying Ning to be so skillful. Reward——"

"Thank you for the compliment, Queen Mother, but..." Li Yingning said generously, "My daughter has always been clumsy with her mouth, and my aunt knows that, but she just doesn't want to make her sad. This rice dumpling... is not actually wrapped by my daughter."

Princess Anqing was stunned.

Why is this so different from the plot she imagined?

Why did she admit it in public?

On such an occasion, noble ladies try their best to show off their virtuous and clever side, but why does she expose her shortcomings?

She doesn’t care about face and her reputation as a virtuous person?

This made Princess Anqing swallow the words that were almost coming out of her throat, which made her extremely uncomfortable!
