If it was before, when he heard Gu Qingyan's words, the emperor might not be happy in his heart, because what he was most looking forward to was that An Huajin and Gu Qingyan would get along well and get married as soon as possible, but now, he has a hard time.

Although he had the intention of canceling the marriage contract, whether it was the Gu family's importance to An Huajin, or Gu Qingyan's own good relationship with An Huajin now, and his recognition and tolerance were also very important, he couldn't start saying the words "cancel the marriage contract".

He first designed the old Nanyang King to see Gu Qingyan's painting in the south study, and then praised Gu Qingyan for how he was a prodigy, genius, extremely talented, and young and beautiful.

The old Nanyang King pondered again and again, hesitated, and then he summoned the old man Gu into the palace, he saw the old man Gu, the old man Gu didn't know why, heard the two mention his grandson, he praised his grandson Gu Qingyan, there is only such a boast in the sky and on the earth, the old man Gu is an introverted person, old and serious, let him boast proudly and praise his grandson, obviously his grandson is really good, the old Nanyang King gritted his teeth and made up his mind to agree to the marriage, and set a marriage contract for An Huajin and Gu Qingyan.

At that time, Old Man Gu was stupid, and after listening to the old Nanyang King's wild praise of An Huajin, he also pondered and hesitated, gritted his teeth and agreed.

Now, he doesn't want his family to marry, he has to have a reasonable and reliable reason why he can't be easily killed, otherwise, even if he is an emperor, he can't manipulate his courtiers as he wants and offend the Gu family and the An family.

He sighed deeply, it was really difficult to be an emperor.

Liancheng Lake was in full swing, and the sound of cheering was endless, although the emperor was in a complicated mood, such a lively grand occasion still made him feel gratified. The country he governed is still peaceful in the world.

So, there are some things, let's plan slowly!

The dragon boat race is highly anticipated, and halfway through, there are four boats running side by side, Chu Yan's, Chu Chen's, Gu's, and one of Guangcheng Houfu, and the dragon boat is Jiang Yunzhi, the little marquis of Guangcheng Houfu.

The Jiang surnames of the Guangcheng Marquis Mansion and the Liguo Mansion were one family decades ago, and later they were separated and set up a separate portal and became two Jiangs. It has been a few years since the decline of the Liguo Mansion, but this generation has a Jiang Yunyi and someone to support the court. The Guangcheng Hou Mansion has been thriving over the years, and the descendants are very competitive, but because the coachman Cheng Qi hid the Guangcheng Hou Mansion a month ago, the Guangcheng Hou Mansion was implicated in the poisoned tea case, and his vitality was greatly damaged, and now the situation is similar to that of the Liguo Mansion. The little marquis Jiang Yunzhi is also a person who can write and martial arts.

"That's the dragon boat of the Marquis Guangcheng Mansion?" The queen leaned in and looked at it.

An Huajin didn't know Jiang Yunzhi, but looking at the obvious sign on the dragon boat, which said Guangcheng Marquis Mansion, she could still see it clearly. She nodded, "Auntie, it's the dragon boat of the Marquis of Guangcheng's Mansion." ”

"It looks like it's gaining momentum." The queen smiled and said, "These four dragon boats haven't been separated yet, and your bet of 100,000 taels is afraid that you will have to lose." ”

"Auntie, can't you be a little confident in your son?" An Huajin whispered, "I don't want to lose much. ”

"You're not afraid if you lose, aren't you your seventh cousin and Gu Qigongzi? Your seventh cousin won't compensate you, and I won't spare him. The queen laughed.

"Then I also want to win, although I lost from the seventh cousin to make up for it, Huai'an also said to make it up to me, but in the end it is my 100,000 taels, whoever takes it, it is my own people's money, it will be different if I win, my 100,000 taels, maybe I can give birth to more than 100,000 taels, although this year's military salary is solved, there is still next year, next year's military salary, win a little is a little."

The queen was stunned for a moment, and turned her head to look at the emperor.

The emperor was also slightly stunned, the smile on his face slowly put away, and looked at An Huajin, "Xiao An'er, this year's military salary has just been escorted away, and you are worried about next year?" ”

An Huajin sighed deeply, "Your Majesty, Nanyang's millions of soldiers and horses, not only are they full of food, but they also have to dress warmly, and they must be used as much as possible, try to make them a military camp as a home, and they must be as good as possible when the conditions are met, after all, guarding Da Chu, most of the soldiers are uprooted from their hometowns, very hard, in the past three years, my grandfather has handed over the preparation of Nanyang's military salary to me every year, I have developed a problem of seeing money, I can't wait for money to make money and regenerate money, the soldiers are good, in order to share the worries of His Majesty and Da Chu, right?" I'm going to worry a little more this year, and I'll save a little more next year. ”

The emperor was silent.

The salary of the Nanyang Army, since the beginning of his ascension to the throne 18 years ago, there was a case of grain robbery, and in the past 18 years, the military salary of the Nanyang Army has been restricted. When the treasury is abundant, he does not want to give more, and when the treasury is not abundant, it is needless to say.

It's just that no one has dared to break it in front of him all along.

He was suddenly in a bad mood, his face was tense, and he didn't say a word.

The people sitting around felt that the topic was wrong and the atmosphere was wrong for a while, and they were excited to watch the dragon boat race, but they all quieted down in unison, and they didn't dare to make a sound.

An Huajin didn't care, His Majesty wouldn't punish her with this remark, she watched the dragon boat race intently.

"Don't worry, next year's military salary, I will also allocate it to the Nanyang Army early." The Emperor was silent for a moment.

An Huajin smiled, "Then I thank Your Majesty for Nanyang Jun!" The importance you attach to the Nanyang Army is a blessing for the soldiers guarding the frontier. ”

The emperor's face softened slightly.

The atmosphere was suddenly relaxed.

"The Gu family is really lagging behind!" The eldest princess spoke.

The emperor looked at the dragon boat race with a smile on his face, "Huai'an, you can see it very accurately, Gu Jiugongzi is young after all, although he likes martial arts, he is very flexible in manipulating dragon boats." But Gu Liugongzi and Gu Bagongzi are literati after all, and they lack strength, and the team they chose is indeed not tacit enough. ”

Gu Qingyan smiled, "The ninth brother loves to play, just join in the fun." ”

"Next, look at these three dragon boats, which one will be eliminated first?" The Emperor asked with a smile.

Gu Qingyan shook his head, "The minister can't see it, the minister only knows more about himself." ”

The emperor laughed, "Huai'an, there are also things you don't know. I heard that you have a great contribution, and your calculation of the celestial phenomena is so accurate, I feel that I should make you the emperor. ”

Everyone was shocked.

"Your Majesty, don't joke about your ministers." Gu Qingyan smiled lightly, "The minister has no credit, it is all the credit of the adults of Qin Tianjian, the minister just guessed a few days, and in the end it was the exact date set by the adults of Qin Tianjian and the ministers, and the minister was in the ministry, which is very good." ”

The emperor smiled, "You, you always push your own credit, how much have you pushed over the years?" I don't even remember. Your temperament not only makes me love you, but also makes me helpless. ”

Gu Qingyan smiled and said nothing.

An Huajin took the opportunity to interject, "Your Majesty, we are an unmarried couple, what credit does he have that he doesn't want, why don't you give it to me later?" It's a pity to waste it, and I'm not afraid that I won't be able to eat what I have to give. ”

Emperor: "......"

He laughed angrily, "You stay on the side, you haven't married him for a day, no matter how good he is, it won't be your turn." ”

An Hua Jinbian flattened his mouth and turned his head, obviously ignoring the emperor.

"Look at her, what she looks like!" The emperor pointed at An Huajin and said to the empress, "Is she throwing my face at me?" ”

The queen smiled, "She is naughty and naughty, she is deliberately angry with you, don't pay attention to her, she is worried about her 100,000 taels of silver now." ”

The Emperor laughed, but he wasn't really angry.

"Ah, it turned out that Chu Chen's dragon boat was lagging behind." The eldest princess always pays attention to the movements of the dragon boat race.

Everyone looked at it, but it was not, it was really Chu Chen's dragon boat that was lagging behind. At present, there are only Chu Yan's dragon boats and Guangcheng Houfu's dragon boats left.

An Huajin exhaled, "It's not that the seventh cousin is lagging behind. ”

As she spoke, she stood up and shouted at the dragon boats walking side by side on Liancheng Lake, holding on to the white jade railing of the pavilion, "Seventh cousin, I made a bet of 100,000 taels to bet on you to be the first, if you don't take the first, I will empty your Seven Princes' Mansion and compensate me for my silver!" ”

An Huajin has martial arts and internal strength, and she shouted, crisp and loud, covering out the shouts and cheers outside.

The dragon boat on Liancheng Lake is still struggling to move forward, I don't know if Chu Yan can hear it.

An Huajin shouted three more times in a row, and after shouting out all the movement around her, she turned around with satisfaction and sat back in her original position.

The Emperor laughed and scolded, "What is it like!" Yelling! ”

An Huajin stuck out his tongue and looked grinning again.

Gu Qingyan chuckled, "With the prestige of the little county lord of An, I don't know if it threatens the Seventh Highness or the little marquis of the Guangcheng Marquis Mansion." Either way, it must work. ”

Sure enough, not long after his words fell, when he was about to reach the finish line, the dragon boat of the Marquis of Guangcheng gradually fell behind, and after a while, Chu Yan's dragon boat took the lead and sprinted to the first place.

An Huajin cheered, stood up again, and dragged Gu Qingyan up, I don't know if she got carried away or did it on purpose, in short, she was very bold and upright and grabbed Gu Qingyan's waist without scruples, and jumped down from the high observation pavilion.

With the frightened exclamations around her, she held Gu Qingyan steadily, and landed on Chu Yan's dragon boat, "bang", smashing Chu Yan's dragon boat with a sound, and the water splashed down like a firework of victory
