The Reborn Lady

Chapter 43

Chapter 43

April was summer, and the sun was getting brighter day by day. By the end of the month, Yin Hui discovered an obvious dividing line on Wei Ruo's neck, the lower part was as white as jade, and the upper part was darker.

However, Wei Ruo went out early and came back late, always when the sun was not hot.

"Do you need to bask in the sun often during the day when you are in the guard post?"

Yin Hui touched his neck and asked.

Wei Ruo said, "During this year's Dragon Boat Festival, my father ordered the three guard stations to hold a dragon boat race. I will take people to the riverside to practice and get more sun."

Yin Hui was very surprised.

In my previous life, Prince Yan's Mansion had never held any dragon boat races.

Pingcheng is a fortress in the north. The border further north has a major war every three years and a minor war every two years, which always worries the King of Yan. There was a war before Yin Hui got married, and the situation was tense, otherwise the King of Yan would not have asked his grandfather for money. Then, there was peace for only two years, and there would be another war next year. After a year of rest and a year of fighting, it was not easy for the enemy to stop, but then it was the affairs of the court again. Everything made the King of Yan worry, and he rarely even set foot in the courtyards of his wives and concubines, so how could he have the leisure to hold a dragon boat race.

However, in April of his previous life, the King of Yan was still nursing his teeth, but in this life he had already recovered. His mood and thoughts were different, so it was nothing surprising.

"Will you attend?"

"Yes, there are five teams in total. Father will select ten people from the palace guards. I will command the Northwest Guard Station, and my fourth brother will also lead a team to participate."

Yin Hui thought this was quite interesting, so she simply propped her head up with her hands, looked at him and asked, "Where did Fourth Brother come from?"

Since each of the three guard stations will send out a team, Fourth Master Wei Han certainly cannot select people from the guard stations, and the guards in the palace are all Prince Yan's men.

Wei Ruo said, "Father asked my fourth brother to go to the Guo family to find someone."

Yin Hui understood. General Guo already had three sons, all of whom were around twenty years old. If they picked a few from the guards in the general's mansion, they would easily have enough manpower.

"Where to compete?"

"Inner City River."

Pingcheng has two moats, one outside Pingcheng and the other at the Prince of Yan's Mansion. The inner city river refers to the one at the Prince of Yan's Mansion.

The inner city river is five zhang wide and three zhang deep, which is enough for five dragon boats to sail side by side.

The Yin family's caravan traveled far and wide, and the old man Yin Yong had visited the capital and the palaces of the three vassal kings many times. Yin Hui had heard from her grandfather that the palaces of the three vassal kings were built in imitation of the pattern of the Jinling Palace, and the specifications were inferior. Although the Yan Palace was already magnificent, the Qin Palace in the northwest was even more magnificent than the Yan Palace, and it had not yet been fully built.

Later, Yin Hui also followed Wei Ruo  to the imperial city, but as soon as they arrived, the couple lived in the Prince of Shu's Mansion. Perhaps the imperial palace was more magnificent than the Prince of Yan's Mansion, but the small Prince of Shu's Mansion was in no way comparable to the Prince of Yan's Mansion.
