Your Majesty has arrived, what about Crown Prince?
Although Su Xinyi had invited Crown Prince earlier, he was injured and it was uncertain how his recovery was going. Thus, it was not certain if he would attend.
Countless people turned to a certain direction, bowing and kowtowing. Those on the dragon boats were also kowtowing in the same direction, accompanied by the cheering of the crowd.
Two rounds of drumming sounded.
Without seeing where His Majesty was, Su Xinyi quickly steadied herself, grasped the paddle in her hands, and got ready to set off.
The chatter on the lake suddenly quieted, and the surrounding dragon boats each adjusted their direction. The cheerful expressions on everyone's faces instantly vanished.
For the first time in such a contest, Su Xinyi suddenly felt a sense of excitement brought about by competition.
Upon the third round of drumming, all the dragon boats instantly sprang forward.
