Allure of a Country Maiden

When Xiaoer, Shangguan Wanru and others arrived at the bank of the Huaijiang River, many men practicing for the dragon boat race were already on the bank, and the teammates of each dragon boat gathered around and talked about something.

Fu Ranhui looked at the men wearing different team uniforms and the slender and narrow dragon boats with big red flowers hanging on the bows. She was nervous and expectant: "Well, we won't capsize and fall into the water, right?"

"What are you talking about? How is it possible! If you fall, someone will rescue you!" Shangguan Wanru resisted the urge to roll her eyes.

We haven't boarded the ship yet, so what bad luck can we say?

How can anyone curse themselves to capsize before they even start! They came here to compete. If the boat capsizes, wouldn't it become a joke to the entire Imperial City?

"But it would be so embarrassing to fall and lose your reputation!" Fu Ranhui muttered.

"Then you stand on the shore and cool off." Shangguan Wanru said.

"No, I'm here to be the drummer!"

Shangguan Wanru specially found a servant at home, Uncle Cai, who had participated in the dragon boat race a few years ago, to teach them how to row.

Shangguan Wanru wanted to have fun, and it didn't matter whether he got the ranking or not.

Shangguan Xuanyi came on horseback and saw the figure of Xiaoer dressed in neutral clothes from a distance.

He came to her and took a look at her special dress. It was soft and elegant with a hint of heroism, which was very beautiful.

"Brother Shangguan!" Xiaoer greeted happily.

"Why are you here? I don't want anyone to tell me." So he could pick her up.

It was the first time that the girl dressed up like this, but she didn't see it at first sight. Shangguan Xuanyi glanced at the glances from those men and his face darkened.

"Come to participate in the dragon boat race. Aren't you happy to see me?"

"Happy." Shangguan Xuanyi glanced at Shangguan Wanru, it must have been her idea again.

"Can you row a boat? Don't row yourself into the river." Shangguan Xuanhao and Shangguan Xuanjun also came over at this time, and Shangguan Xuanhao said.

"I don't know how." Xiaoer said confidently.

"Stop looking down on others!" Shangguan Wanru said angrily.

When Ruan Weizhen and Gu Qiqi saw them coming, they blushed and felt blessed.

"Why are you joining in the fun?" Shangguan Xuanhao looked at Ruan Weizhen and said.

Shangguan Xuanjun also looked at Gu Qiqi, with the same meaning.

"Of course you come here if you think it's fun!" Shangguan Wanru said without waiting for them to speak.

"Princess Wanru invited us here." Ruan Weizhen and Gu Qiqi were completely put off, but they also wanted to come and see their fiancés.

With this in mind, although they are full of worries about the upcoming exercise, the power of love is great. If they can see their sweetheart every day, it is just a dragon boat race instead of jumping into the river, why wouldn't they do it?

"Don't go crazy like this girl. What if you fall into the river?" Shangguan Xuanhao said again.

Xiaoer covered her face, Shangguan Xuanhao's words were unpleasant, Ruan Weizhen was blind in one eye and could bear it.

"No." Ruan Weizhen knew that he cared about her.

"You are the one who is crazy. Let's leave him alone and quickly get on the boat to practice." Shangguan Wanru pulled Xiao'er and walked to the dock.

"Wait." Shangguan Xuanyi asked Xiao Fuzi to get his boat oar.

"My paddle is very useful." Shangguan Xuanyi took the paddle and handed it to Xiaoer.

"I used yours, what about you?" Xiaoer reached out and took it, and saw that two places on the wooden paddle had been smoothed and discolored, indicating that it had been used for a long time.

"Just make another one."

The Sixth Prince was really so considerate. Ruan Weizhen and Gu Qiqi looked at it and said they were lying if they said they were not envious.

When Shangguan Wanru saw it, she pushed the other two pieces of wood: "No one can blame you for your poor brains, but at any rate, you should know how to learn from others!"

Shangguan Xuanjun didn't mind Shangguan Wanru's teasing. He glanced at the boy behind him, and the boy went to get the oar wisely.

"Trouble!" Although Shangguan Xuanhao said this, he still asked someone to get the oar.

One interesting thing Xiaoer discovered was that Shangguan Xuanhao's ears were actually red.

Shangguan Xuanyi helped Xiaoer get on the boat before leaving.

Shangguan Xuanjun and Shangguan Xuanhao were not as thick-skinned as Shangguan Xuanyi. They were worried that Shangguan Wanru would ask them to help others again, so they quickly found an excuse and ran away.

The fifth princess burst into laughter: "This is the first time I saw the second and fourth emperor brothers running away. Wanru, you are too venomous."

"They are not resistant to poison!" Shangguan Wanru disagreed.

Five girls, plus Yangliu and Yangmei, Shangguan Wanru also found three maids who knew martial arts, to make up the number of ten people in a boat. Under the guidance of Uncle Cai, they started rowing unevenly.

One person took up the oar, the other put it down, one after another, it was a mess, and the people on the passing boats laughed when they saw it.

"I say, if you really want to row a boat, you should go back to Fuzhong and swim on the lake. This dragon boat race is really not as simple as you think!" Shangguan Ruixi said loudly to them from a distance of one meter on the dragon boat.

"Yes, this is not what you delicate girls are doing. Go back and embroider!" The eldest son of the Duke's Palace also said.

"Girls, please come back quickly! Don't cause trouble. With your speed, we have raced three times and you haven't even reached the finish line yet!"

"Brother Lin, aren't you being too polite? There are only three times in the race. I think we rowed back and forth ten times, and they didn't even reach the finish line."

"I think it's twenty times!"

"Thirty times, look, they are actually spinning in circles now, it's really laughable!"

"It's really...haha!"

Di Shaowei had seen how Xiaoer accurately controlled the sail, and he said, "Don't look down on my sister. There is a chance that this women's army will get a ranking in the competition."

"Get the ranking? Haha... This is really the funniest joke I've ever heard." The young master of Enbo Mansion laughed.

Others nodded and said it was impossible.

Those people spoke loudly, and Shangguan Wanru couldn't bear to hear these words: "Stop looking down on others! We will definitely get the ranking."

Fu Ranhui tugged on Shangguan Wanru's sleeve after hearing what she said: "Aren't you determined to participate? We are just here to have fun, how did we rise to the top?"

She paddled for a while, feeling like her arms were about to break.

Ruan Weizhen and Gu Qiqi nodded together, "No, their hands are for holding embroidery needles and paintbrushes, not paddles!"

They are just here to see their sweethearts, when did they want to get rankings?

"I actually think the scenery on both sides of the Taiwan Strait is quite beautiful. Let's paddle slowly and enjoy it," Gu Qiqi said.

"Yes, yes, it's so beautiful!" The Fifth Princess Cheng regretted it. Just for a moment, she felt that her hands had blisters!
