Just for the sake of his daughter-in-law with a big belly, who wanted to watch the dragon boat race, Jiang Fenghao, a good husband in the new century, really spent a lot of money in the next few days to expand the artificial lake in his house a lot, and at the same time built a dragon gate, purchased eight dragon boats, and prepared to have a competition if there was nothing to do.

However, because the scale of the lake is not as wide as the river after all, in order to make it easier to turn, the length of the eight dragon boats was cut in half, which looked slightly funny.

But the husband and wife don't care, it's different to have personality, isn't it?

The weather is very good these days, the sun is not as strong as a few days ago, there are big marshmallow-like white clouds floating in the sky, and the weeping willows are blowing on the shore of the largest mirror lake in Changning Palace, and the cool breeze is blowing.

A large group of ladies and ladies with hairpins and emerald flowers sat under the shade of the trees, and the long table in front of them was filled with zongzi and seasonal fresh fruits, holding a fan and fanning gracefully and waiting for the start of the competition.

Except for a few of them who are wealthy ladies who have business dealings with the palace, most of the rest are concubines and princesses in the palace.

Nowadays, the king and his wife of Changning are very respected by the emperor today, which is already a well-known fact.

This time, all the concubines and concubines are thinking about the same thing, instead of competing with other women in the palace to do useless work, it is better to spend more effort to please these two 'elders' - maybe one day they will make their husband and wife happy, and if they say a few good words in front of the emperor, then their status may be able to follow.

It's a bit of a stretch, but it's always a good thing to try.

He Xiaoqiao, who became the boss of the dungeon for some reason, finally couldn't help twitching his eyes and stiffening his cheeks after being brushed by the group a few times, and hurriedly withdrew from his head under the pretext of being unwell.

This time, the house held a separate dragon boat race, it was also for the happiness of her family, she really posted a post to invite a total of Xiangyang princess, mother and daughter and a few other good wives, I don't know where this group of palace concubines got the news, but they really swarmed and came uninvited.

The queen originally wanted to come, but because she was the head of the six palaces, she had to set a dignified and demure example, so she had to stay in the palace and sit in the palace.

Jiang Mufeng went to the scene to give a speech on the first day, impassioned and morale-boosting everyone to work hard to fight for the first, and did not appear with the Yijiang River in the next few days, only sent a few old ministers and trusted henchmen to sit on the scene, ready to broadcast the live broadcast to him in the palace.

He Xiaoqiao, who never forgot to make money at any time, secretly asked the Fugui Gambling House to open a gambling game, a total of nine dragons, and the bet was on which dragon could defeat all the opponents and win the championship smoothly.

In view of the freshness of this matter, and the odds are not high, even if you lose, it will not be too ugly, so there is an endless stream of people who come to bet, including even little daughters-in-law and big girls - anyway, a few copper plates can also bet, so how about playing?

If you lose, you lose, and there are only a few New Year's money, and you will come back with a few more embroidery jobs; If you win, you can have a few more dollars to subsidize your family, so why not?

Even the current emperor couldn't help but itch his hands and secretly took out some silver from the treasury, planning to make a small bet on pleasure, and the bet was naturally a golden dragon with the same color as the royal family.

In addition to the golden dragon, the red dragon and the white dragon have the highest cries. Because of the turn-based system, nearly half of the dragon boats have been eliminated in a few days, and the rest are still waiting for the first place on the day of the finals.

Of course, as a banker, no matter who wins or loses, the gambling house can make a lot of money in the end, and the shopkeeper Liao, who is holding the abacus and checking the account book, laughs from ear to ear all day long.

When he heard that other gambling houses had also begun to follow suit and set up gambling games, He Xiaoqiao immediately went to Jiang Fenghao, who had a zero defeat record in the casino, to open the golden finger, and after getting the championship candidate from him, he asked his subordinates to secretly bet with a large amount of cash, intending to make enough money at one time.

Gambling in and out of the city is in full swing, and as the origin of this national sport, it is inevitable that the palace will gamble so much.

Following the rules outside, there is also a gambling game in the house, which is also the probability of choosing one of the eight, eight dragon boats, depending on which one to choose.

In view of the fact that most of the ladies who came to the house this time were women, the ladies all looked reserved, and the competition was naturally not as crazy as outside.

Cai Lian put everything away and gathered together, marked the corresponding names and the colors of the selected dragon boats, and then He Xiaoqiao gave an order, the sound of firecrackers rang out from afar, and at the same time as the gongs and drums sounded in unison, the eight dragon boats immediately rushed forward like crazy.

The men on the boat shouted the slogan of the oars and rowed the oars fast, the dragon boats splashed everywhere, and the turquoise water of the lake made the oars splash everywhere, reflecting beautiful rainbows in the sun.

"Good!" Seeing this, He Xiaoqiao immediately stood up, and applauded without hesitation with a stirring expression.

Although it is not as imposing as those dragon boats on the river, after all, the people on the boat are their own families, and of course they must give strong support and affirmation.

"Okay, you just sit down, roar, don't be afraid of hurting your throat." Princess Xiangyang, who was sitting next to her, scolded her and motioned for Cailian to help her sit down, "I'm about to become a mother, and I'm always so arrogant, and I don't know how to pay more attention to my body." ”

As soon as the three months passed, Jiang Fenghao no longer concealed the fact that He Xiaoqiao was pregnant with Liujia, and deliberately chose a day to announce in a high-profile manner that there was a successor to the palace, which caused an uproar At the same time, Daohe's gifts were received in piles and piles.

Princess Xiangyang, Jinghe and others, who were originally in the dark, naturally all knew about it.

Hearing the news of He Xiaoqiao's pregnancy, Jinghe didn't even bother to report to the Queen Mother first, climbed on the horse and rushed to the palace, looking at He Xiaoqiao trembling with excitement, as if she was the child's father.

This move decisively made Jiang Fenghao, president of the Beloved Wife Association, very unhappy, and without saying a word, he carried her back and hung it on the tree.

He Xiaoqiao stuck out his tongue and patted his hand twice on the slightly bulging belly, "Sixth sister-in-law, don't worry, I'm not that delicate." "Running outside every day, plus often growing vegetables and doing farm work, except for the fact that her stomach is a little bad, her body is absolutely great.

"I can see that you are the monkey who has completely escaped the suppression of the tiger and wants to dominate the mountains." Princess Xiangyang pursed her lips and smiled, tapped her forehead as an elder, and teased, "It's also a loss to the child in your belly, otherwise how can you withstand such a toss as a mother." ”

"Toss a few more times now, and you'll get used to it when you come out." He Xiaoqiao smiled proudly, full of absolute confidence in the little guy in his belly.

The palace beauties lined up next to her all looked at her belly when they heard this, and their eyes were full of envy - I don't know when I will be able to experience the feeling of being a mother?

Different from other people's reservedness, Jing He, who had always been very close to He Xiaoqiao, had already unceremoniously stretched out a hand on her lower abdomen, and carefully touched it back and forth like fine porcelain, with an excited expression as if she had picked up a treasure.

Jiang Yujing, who was watching from the side, was also gearing up and looking eager to try, just waiting for Jinghe to finish touching it, and immediately started to explore the reality.

He Xiaoqiao smiled and opened the two of them to be curious, and then said, "Now the child is still young and can't feel anything, and after two months, the child will turn over and kick his legs, and then it will be fun." ”

In her previous life, there were many pregnant colleagues where she worked, and she was also very curious at that time, and every day when she was fine, she went to find a big belly to touch it, and she felt really loving.

Now it's her turn to be a mother, and the whole process feels that a little life takes root in her body, and every day waiting for him to grow up slowly gives her a new experience, and the indescribable sense of happiness has risen to the point where it is about to burst.

It's the time of warmth, and the game in the center of the lake is getting hot.

Seeing that the dragon boat they chose was lagging behind, those noble ladies and palace concubines couldn't help it anymore, and they all put aside their reserve and image at this moment, and all of them blushed and shook their handkerchiefs with thick necks, trying to cheer for the dragon boat they chose through this way.

As for He Xiaoqiao, as a banker, she did not participate in the gambling game, and at the moment she was leaning on the soft couch with a cup of hot milk tea in her hand, talking and laughing with Princess Xiangyang leisurely and calmly, while paying attention to the development of the situation and waiting for the result.

As the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the initiator of the 'Mandate of Heaven' organization, Shangguan Xinghe is not in a good mood with He Xiaoqiao at the moment.

Swept the long sword made of fine iron in his hand, and pulled a few sword flowers in the air, his eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, "It's really better than what I made last time, but the sword body is still a little thin." ”

As he spoke, he slashed the sword down on the stool on the side, and although he succeeded in cutting the stool in half, the blade part of the blade was slightly rolled up.

With a thud, the sword was thrown back into the box.

Shangguan Xinghe's face sank, his voice was hoarse as if it had been run over by gravel, and it made people shudder when he heard it, "It took more than half a year to only make such a tatter tatt, and I forgot how I boasted about Haikou in front of this seat in the first place?" ”

Several people in the room all bowed their heads, and no one dared to reply.

Shangguan Xinghe walked up to a burly man with his hands behind his back and a cold look in his eyes, "Zhuang Shi, you come to tell this seat, what the hell is going on?" ”

Zhuang Shi, who was still full of confidence in the weapon he made, heard this, and a cold sweat broke out in an instant, and without saying a word, he crawled on the ground, and said tremblingly in a voice that was completely inconsistent with his image, "Master, spare your life!" This is already the best weapon that can be made in the workshop at the moment. Since the last time the mine in Baihe Mountain was forcibly taken away by the imperial eagle dogs, there has been a serious shortage of iron ore, and there is really no way for the subordinates to ......."

Before the words were finished, everyone only felt a cold light flashing in front of them, and when they came back to their senses, Zhuang Shi, who was kneeling on the ground, was already in a different place, and the blood arrow from the broken neck spurted up a foot high, and his eyes that fell to the ground were even more wide, as if he didn't understand why he lost his life until he died.

"If you can't even do such a small thing, what's the use of keeping you?"

The few people standing in the room seemed to be surprised by such a thing, and they did not react much, at most they just threw a sympathetic glance at the corpse on the ground.

"Get someone to clean up this place." The smell of blood in the air was so strong that it was disgusting, Shangguan Xinghe threw away the ghost head knife in his hand with some irritation, and looked at the first few people with a gloomy face, "Zhuang Shi's position will be taken over by you for the time being, and the matter ordered by this seat will be solved as soon as possible!" As for what to do......" he said, and his snake-like eyes stared ahead, "I don't need this seat to teach you, do I?" ”

"Don't worry, master," the thin man who was known as Sigh Empty took two steps forward, and responded with a respectful expression, "The subordinates must handle this matter as soon as possible, and don't worry about the master." ”

"Good!"
