It turns out that flirting with girls in ancient times is so direct.

Liu Chenxing was dumbfounded.

No, no, no, this is already Lang You's concubine's intention, referred to as a male concubine's intention!

Liu Chenxing's eyes were shining, and the melons were eaten with relish.

General Xie Ting saw that he was petrified on the spot, as expected, he was afraid of something, and then his bearded face turned red, and he instantly turned into a red-faced Guan Gong.

The empress and Xie Ting have also been monarchs and ministers for many years, it can be said that watching Xie Ting step by step from the eldest son of the principality to become the respected general in the world today, knowing Xie Ting's serious temperament, she smiled at the moment and witnessed Xie Ji teasing the noble girl again, she shook her head and smiled, and then looked at Xie Ting, sure enough, her face was already red, her hands were clenched into fists, as if they would explode at any time, she couldn't help laughing, and said: "Haha, Xie Aiqing, Xie Ji's temperament is different from when you were young!" ”

laughed heartily, Xie Ting and Xie Ji father and son are important ministers of the court, and it is impossible to look at the courtiers' jokes like this, the empress stopped joking, and changed the conversation and said: "People are not romantic teenagers, today Xie Ji performed well in dragon boat racing, I think I will win the favor of many Chang'an nobles, and then Aiqing can rest assured, I have to thank Ji to get married!" The old man can also hug his great-grandson! "It's said to be appeased, but there is still a hint of joke, after all, it's harmless.

The Empress has said so, what else can he say?

Xie Ting resisted the urge to serve Xie Ji on the spot, and laughed in agreement.

Fortunately, the finals of this year's dragon boat race are still waiting to start, and Xie Ji doesn't have much time to talk to the eldest lady of Shangshu Zuocheng's family.

The dragon boat team won by the four rounds of group stage and played the final ultimate confrontation.

In this round of the competition, it can already be seen that the speed of everyone rowing the dragon boat is almost the same, and the key to victory is after the finish line, and the drummer competes on the floating board to see who wins the bid first.

After four rounds of group stage competitions, the two drummers who participated in the finals have already hung their colors in the group stage, and Shen Zhongyi and Xie Ji can be said to be unharmed, and they also showed their strength in front of everyone, obviously the final was selected among the two.

Nowadays, it is a prosperous era when the country is rich and the people are strong, and the strong national strength supports, the life of the people of the time is also rich and colorful, and the comfortable and comfortable life has been too long, and the people of the time will inevitably have fun for themselves to have more fun, and "fighting" has become the norm.

The little ladies fight for beauty, the literati fight for poetry, of course, from the princes and ministers and even the emperor, down to the street street wandering children, all kinds of cockfights and flower fights are indispensable for the whole people...... Such a variety of "fights", these all have a certain "gambling" character, so who will win this year's dragon boat race, it is indispensable to bet.

Regardless of whether the two sides of the river are betting or not, the empress on the high platform and the princes and ministers above the third rank have already bet.

Everyone in the world knows that the empress attaches great importance to Shen Zhongyi, the eldest grandson of the emperor, and just now she praised Shen Zhongyi for being like the empress, as long as she doesn't want to be bored at this time, of course she wants to detain Shen Zhongyi.

Betting is just to increase the fun, no one in the audience has ever thought of winning money by this, the princes and ministers are betting on her eldest grandson to win, the empress wants to bet on Xie Ji to win, otherwise what is the point of being one-sided?

The empress then smiled and said: "Although the king of Wei is hidden today, it has opened the eyes of all Aiqing. But Xie Ji is a tiger in the door, and I am more optimistic about Xie Ji. Come, bet on the yellow team where Xie Ji is ten gold. ”

There are four quivers under the imperial case, on which are written red, blue, green and yellow, and each person bets ten gold, and puts an arrow into the quiver he bets on.

As soon as the empress's words fell, a palace person immediately threw an arrow from Xie Ji's yellow team, and then two more feather arrows were thrown, and there were three feather arrows in the yellow quiver in an instant, although compared to Shen Zhongyi's red team, which was full of feather arrows, it was not much stronger than one of the two quivers in the blue and green.

"It seems that there are two others who are as discerning as me." The empress raised her phoenix eyes.

The empress spoke, even if there was no question, someone had to answer, and the eunuch standing next to the quiver took out the other two feather arrows, looked at the names written on them, and bowed down and said: "Back to the saints, the two feather arrows won by the Huang team belong to the eldest princess and Liu Nushi respectively." ”

Hearing this, the eldest princess glanced back at Liu Chenxing.

Knowing that he had probably looked at it now, Liu Chenxing lowered his head slightly and put on his due posture.

The next moment, sure enough, I heard the empress ask with great interest, "Have you made an appointment?" No matter how to bet on thanks. ”

Hearing the empress's inquiry, the eldest princess did not hide it, and said bluntly: "The minister looks at King Wei today and is not pleasing to the eye, and no one can bet on him!" After a pause, he looked back at Liu Chenxing, who had been standing beside him, and said, "As for why Liu Nushi bet on Xie Ji, the minister doesn't know." We didn't make an appointment. There was a slight hint of curiosity in her tone when she said that, from today's various performances, she always felt that Liu Chenxing should answer decently, and it was not mainly because she was unhappy with Shen Zhongyi's behavior in the small courtyard just now.

Of course Liu Chenxing will not be unhappy with money, the minimum bet here is ten taels of gold, and he really can't bet on Xie Ji for the sake of being unhappy with Shen Zhongyi.

will bet on Xie Ji, but she has carefully analyzed it, and she is counting on gambling to earn double the principal.

It can be seen from the conversation between the empress and the princes and ministers just now that they don't know that Shen Zhongyi has such good skills and strength, and listening to what was said just now, Shen Zhongyi is a premature baby, and his body has not been good since he was a child.

She has been in Chang'an for nearly two years, but she has heard that a lot of Shen Zhongyi's prestige in the court and the people has improved a lot, for the position above, prestige alone is not enough, she is also a courtier now, and she is also looking forward to the prosperity of the Spring and Autumn Period to the lord she wants to be loyal to, so Shen Zhongyi is deliberately showing his physical strength today.

But it is enough to be in the limelight, although Shen Zhongyi is a traitor inside. But it should be called a low-key and introverted character, and cautious, since the goal of revealing has been achieved, why should it be better than the thanksgiving?

This is the main reason.

Secondly, Xie Ji was born as a general, even if Shen Zhongyi doesn't know how to train himself behind his back, he shouldn't be as good as Xie Ji.

This ruled out Shen Zhongyi's victory, and as for the other two opponents who were already very clear that they were not Xie Ji, in order to make a small fortune, she wanted to vote for Xie Ji.

It's just that all of the above is not enough for outsiders, Liu Chenxing remained silent and prepared to be questioned.

The empress did let the eldest princess's words attract attention, and glanced at Liu Chenxing and said, "Why did Lady Liu bet on Xie Ji?" ”

Liu Chenxing faced the empress, bowed his head slightly respectfully, and said, "There are two reasons. ”
