Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Blade (1st Shift)

An Huajin stared at Gu Qingyan in shock, looked at him for a long time, and seemed to want to see him as a flower.

"I'm good-looking?" Gu Qingyan smiled.

Anhua Jin sighed, "Are you serious?" Bet me 100,000 taels, bet on my seventh cousin to win, the news spread, and I became more famous. If Your Majesty knew that I valued my seventh cousin so much, I am afraid that I would die of joy. ”

Gu Qingyan smiled lightly, "You value the Seventh Prince, what's wrong?" The Seventh Prince was originally backed by the An family, and he was your own cousin, and now His Majesty asked him to participate in the competition, with the intention of making a name for him, and you should push it openly. ”

"That's right." An Huajin looked at her, "You bet on my seventh cousin, not even the Gu family?" How can you be sure that he will win? ”

"Your Majesty wants His Highness the Seventh to win and build momentum for his reputation, and the Duanyang Festival Dragon Boat Race is the best opportunity." Gu Qingyan smiled lightly, "Chu Chen and Prince Shan's Mansion both know how to judge the situation and will not steal the limelight from His Royal Highness the Seventh." As for others, they really can't compare to His Royal Highness the Seventh, my three younger brothers, who don't have much experience, are the ninth brother who loves to play and focuses on participation. ”

An Huajin nodded, and found a comfortable position to lie back to the beauty, "Is Your Majesty really going to make the seventh cousin the prince?" Even a dragon boat race has to be used to build momentum for him. ”

"Your Majesty now thinks that His Royal Highness the Seventh is good, and he intends to establish a prince."

An Huajin actually thinks that his cousin is very good, although she is not very happy to see him as a person, but she can't say that he is not good with a clear conscience, his aunt's son, except for being dull and boring, has no other shortcomings.

"Your Majesty now thinks that the seventh cousin is good, and I hope this feeling can be maintained forever." An Huajin smiled, "Your Majesty is still prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, how many emperors have been in ancient times, not only have they established princes, but they are afraid that their sons will be too competitive, so they will share the power of Lao Tzu as soon as possible." Be wary and suspicious. As the years go by, the prince has been established and abolished, and there are many people. It is not necessarily a good thing to set up a store early. ”

"Hmm." Gu Qingyan nodded, "Although Your Majesty currently intends to establish the Seventh Prince, the most important thing is that I want you to marry the Seventh Prince." If he can't think of a way for us to cancel the marriage contract for a while, he may force the Seventh Prince and the Queen to hang the storage seat and let them start with you. However, the queen and the seventh prince are both smart people, and this prince is estimated to not be able to stand for a while. ”

"Drag it on! We're all dragging. An Huajin pouted, "There's nothing bad. ”

Gu Qingyan smiled, "Grandpa An can drag on for a day if he is here." ”

An Hua Jin is noncommittal.

Grandpa is here, the Nanyang Army is stable, Grandpa is not there, as long as His Majesty does not interfere in making any big moves against the Nanyang Army, with her there, it will be stable

On the day of the Duanyang Festival, the major gambling houses in Beijing, Qian Zhuang, jointly set up a gambling game for the dragon boat race. It was jointly supervised by the Jingzhong Government and Jing Zhaoyin, and the formal process was followed and justice was done.

The Duanyang Festival is the first festival after the Zhang Zaifu case, the emperor wants to go to the bad luck, so it is lively and lively, so he personally ordered the seven princes to participate in the dragon boat race, not to mention, early in the morning, he also took the queen and several concubines with the princess and princess out of the city to watch.

In the observation pavilion of the royal family, the emperor sat in a bright yellow dragon robe on the high pavilion, the queen wore a formal dress and sat beside him, and the rest of the palace concubines with the princess and princess sat on both sides with the emperor and queen. The princes and princesses sat at the bottom, and the eldest princess and other valued royal relatives were all accompanied in the pavilion, full of pavilion people.

At the moment before the dragon boat race began, the moment before the gambling game was about to be closed, someone suddenly shouted, "The lord of Nanyang Wangfu An Xiaojun bets on the dragon boat of His Royal Highness No. 1, and bets 100,000 taels!" ”

With a "bang", the entire Liancheng Lake was in an uproar.

The emperor suspected that his ears had heard it wrong, and asked Gonggong Zhang on the side, "What are you shouting outside?" ”

Gonggong Zhang also suspected that he had misheard, "Your Majesty, the old slave is going to ask?" ”

The Emperor nodded.

Although everyone in the pavilion heard it clearly, they didn't believe it, An Huajin actually bet on Chu Yan first, 100,000 taels, even if silver is not gold, this is too much. What if Chu Yan doesn't win?

Chu Yan is participating in the dragon boat race for the first time!

After a while, Gonggong Zhang came back and said to the emperor with certainty, "Back to Your Majesty, the shouting outside is that Lord An Xiaojun bets that His Royal Highness the Seventh can win the first place in the dragon boat race today, and bet 100,000 taels!" ”

The emperor turned to the empress, "Xiao An'er has so much money? ”

The queen thought for a while, "The rewards given by Your Majesty, the rewards given by the concubines, and the meeting gifts given by others, add up to 100,000 taels." ”

The emperor choked, his face was strange, "This little An'er is not afraid that Chu Yan will not win the first place, and he will lose it?" She's too daring, too. 100,000 taels of bets, where is the joke? ”

The queen also raised her heart, "This child, why don't you call her over and ask?" ”

The emperor nodded and instructed Gonggong Zhang, "Go, call her over." ”

"Yes." Grandpa Zhang turned around

"She's with Gu Qingyan, right? Call him along. ”

"Yes."

The royal observation pavilion is not far from An's house, and Gonggong Zhang went there in person, saying that His Majesty had invited Lord An Xiaojun and the Seventh Prince to come over, and it was a matter of asking about bets.

An Huajin clapped his hands and got up, Gu Qingyan also got up with a smile and followed her out of the pavilion.

The two of them left the territory of An's home, walked more than 20 steps, and came to the royal place.

At this time, the dragon boat on the lake has been started by the referee shouting, sliding side by side from afar, countless people on the shore shouted and cheered, during which there was also a mixture of who made a bet to whom, how many bets were made, is An Xiaojun Lord crazy? Place so many bets on the Seventh Highness? Although His Royal Highness is both civil and military, it is the first time to participate in the dragon boat race.

For the sake of insurance, many people placed bets on the Good Prince Mansion led by Chu Chen, some people bet on the dragon boats that the three sons of the Gu family competed in, and a few people bet on the rest of the dragon boats.

An Huajin and Gu Qingyan entered the royal observation pavilion, the emperor looked at the two, how to look at how they looked and matched, suppressed the thoughts in his heart, smiled and beckoned to the two, and ordered someone to give the two of them a seat.

After the two of them greeted the emperor in a proper manner, they sat down together.

"Xiao An'er, I just heard that you placed a bet of 100,000 taels to win by betting on Chu Yan?" Although the emperor got the news, he still wanted to ask An Huajin in person, "Why did you make so many bets?" Do you believe that Chu Yan can take the first place? Don't you know that he participated in the dragon boat race for the first time this year, and the dragon boat racing team was also formed temporarily? Not skilled. ”

"Yes." An Huajin smiled, "It's because Seventh Cousin is participating for the first time that I give him some motivation." If grandpa was in the capital, he would have made this bet. ”

Anyway, Chu Yan, the seventh prince, has his back to the An family, this is a fact that the scissors are constantly pulling, and there is nothing wrong with openly supporting it.

Although Gu Qingyan made the decision for her, she was also very calm at this time.

The emperor choked, remembering that except for marching and fighting, guarding and training soldiers and horses, the old king of Nanyang, who was not very reliable in the rest, was speechless for a while.

If he were in the capital, he might really be able to do such a thing to support his grandson.

Seeing that the emperor was speechless, the queen complained disapprovingly to An Huajin on the side, "You kid, even if you support your seventh cousin, just bet less, and take out 100,000 taels at once, what if you lose?" ”

"I have been in Beijing for more than a month, and all my belongings have been borrowed from His Majesty's light, and His Majesty has decreed that the seventh cousin will participate in the competition, and the seventh cousin can't help but be angry, right?" An Huajin smiled and coquettishly to the queen, "Auntie, if I lose, it's the seventh cousin who is not good, let him compensate me, do you say it's okay?" ”

The queen was immediately happy, "Okay, okay, if you lose, blame him and let him compensate you." ”

The emperor lost his temper in an instant, and scolded with a smile, "Nonsense! ”

An Huajin grinned.

The emperor turned to Gu Qingyan and asked with a smile, "Huai'an, you say, who can win the first place in today's dragon boat race?" ”

Gu Qingyan smiled lightly, "It's not the end, and the minister can't guess." ”

The emperor looked at him, "There are also three sons of the Gu family participating in the competition, they are playing for the first time, right?" Chu Yan is also playing for the first time. Chu Chen has been playing for a few years. ”

Gu Qingyan said with a smile, "The ninth brother in the family is stubborn, so he pulled the sixth brother and the eighth brother to participate in the competition together, they have not practiced for a long time, the team is uneven, and the cooperation is not very tacit, so they can't win the first place, just look at the seventh highness and the little prince." ”

The emperor stared at her, "Xiao An'er made a bet, are you on the side?" How can you let her do nonsense? ”

An Huajin slandered in her heart, is it okay for him to help her Hu Lai?

It's a pity that others won't know!

Gu Qingyan's eyes were clear, his expression was innocent, and he sighed gently, as if he was helpless, "Your Majesty, today is the Duanyang Festival, the little county lord is happy, and he wants to play, how can the minister stop him?" If the little county lord loses, His Royal Highness the Seventh will not make up for her, and the minister will take out the private treasury he has saved for many years, and he will have to make up for her. ”

"What do you mean, just want her to have fun?" The emperor was in a complicated mood, and he didn't like to hear this.

Gu Qingyan smiled, "Yes, just want the little county lord to have a good time, she is happy, and the minister is happy." ”

An Huajin: "......"

The bet of 100,000 taels turned out to be used by Gu Qingyan to play in front of His Majesty today!!

Scheming!
