Chapter 38 The Queen Mother

The young boy took a half-step forward with a red tray filled with various gold and silver clasps, jade pendants, pearl collars, etc. in his hand, and said to Gu Yanfei with a smile: "Sister, let's make a bet, we are just playing. "

Li Zhulang said attentively: "Everyone is just joining in the fun, betting big and betting small is arbitrary..."

He almost didn't say anything. If he loses, it's mine. In fact, the words are on his lips, but he is afraid of himself.

Gu Yun really recognized Li Zhulang, and smiled generously: "Okay, I'll bet too..."

She looked left and right at the dazzling red and blue trays, leaned over and asked Gu Yanfei, "Second sister, which team do you think will win?"

Gu Yanfei smiled slightly and said firmly, "It's a draw."

Gu Yunzhen, Li Zhulang and the others were all startled.

The little boy couldn't help reminding: "The chance of a draw is less than 10%..."

Draws are rare, and betting on a draw is equivalent to sending money to the dealer.

"Yes, yes." Li Zhulang couldn't wait to interrupt his cousin, patted his hands and said, "The odds of a draw are high, and if you win, the bet can be doubled several times." It's okay to lose, as long as the beauty is happy!

The little boy admired his cousin so much that he thought to himself: My cousin is really unprincipled in order to please the beauties.

Gu Yanfei was intrigued and wanted to bet, but when he touched his empty purse, he remembered that he didn't bring any money.

"Bone lulu."

A small gold ingot was thrown in from the window, rolled on the table, and settled in front of Gu Yanfei.

Immediately afterwards, a swarthy and handsome face poked out of the window, grinning, and the smile was extremely bright.

"Miss Gu, our son will bet for you!" Xiao Shi winked at Gu Yanfei happily, holding a dark red painted golden osmanthus tray in his hand.

"..." Li Zhulang also wanted to bet on Gu Yanfei's behalf, but he was a step too late, his face froze instantly, and he thought, "Which son? No matter what you are doing, you are either a traitor or a thief... Could it be a rival in love? !

"Xiao Shi." Looking at Xiao Shi's dark and bright eyes, Gu Yanfei's heart moved, remembering the sight he had just felt outside the Water Pavilion, and he was relieved.

It turned out to be him, it was a coincidence.

"Young Master asked me to say hello to the girl." Xiao Shi's smile grew brighter, revealing two rows of snow-white teeth. At the same time, he took a glass of wine from the tray and brought it to Gu Yanfei.

This is a cup of sweet-scented osmanthus wine. The light yellow wine is as clear as amber. There are small and exquisite golden sweet-scented sweet-scented sweet-scented sweet-scented sweet-scented sweet-scented sweet-scented sweet-scented flowers floating in it, exuding an elegant fragrance. Compared with the strong floral fragrance of fresh sweet-scented sweet-scented sweet-scented flowers, this faint wine fragrance Just right.

Gu Yanfei took the cup of sweet-scented osmanthus wine, took a sniff, raised his eyebrows and said, "From Qiongfangzhai?"

"The girl really knows the goods." Xiao Shi sneered, guiding Gu Yanfei to the Moonlight Tower across the lake with his eyes.

Gu Yanfei raised her chin slightly, and saw from a distance that the gauze curtain on the third floor was lifted by a slender hand, revealing a familiar white figure. Because of the distance, the handsome young man's face was not very clear. Holding an identical white porcelain wine glass.

The white-robed young man raised his glass with his hands, respected it from a distance, and then drank all the wine in the glass.

This cup is dedicated to Danyang City.

The two looked at each other silently, Gu Yanfei smiled lightly, extremely bright.

She also raised her glass to Chu Yi Yaoyao on the other side of the lake, raised her head and drank it, her movements were graceful without losing her spontaneity.

Li Zhulang was stunned by the beauty's smile, and then he craned his neck to look out the window, wanting to see who the rival in love was.

Unfortunately, he didn't see anything, and the hazy veil covering the window blocked his vision.

Outside the water pavilion, there was a burst of laughter, and some people came back from the garden side by side.

Seeing the voices approaching, Xiao Shi bowed his hands to Gu Yanfei and left without giving Li Zhulang a chance to test the cliché. smiling, whispering with interest:

"Why did Fang Shizi fall off the flowerbed?"

"You want to know, why don't you ask His Royal Highness King Kang!"

"Isn't Miss Gu Er of Dingyuan Hou's Mansion also there? Ask her if she's not the same?!"

"By the way, how did the three of them happen to be there?"

“…”

Everyone's guesses floated over from time to time, one after another, without stopping after a cup of tea, and even intensified, spreading from the water pavilion to the polo field.

However, when Gu Yunxiang came back in a new riding uniform, these people were mute again, because King Kang was by her side.

The polo match was not interrupted because of this episode. The injured Fang Mingfeng did not appear again, and Kang Wang replaced him in the second half.

The second half of the game was only delayed by a tea, and it started with a crisp gong.

The wanton sound of horses’ hooves sounded again along with the cheers of the crowd, and the white ball was hit high into the sky…

Kang Wang came off the court at the beginning, full of energy and high spirits. He also deliberately showed his skills in front of his sweetheart. He scored a goal not long after the second half, but Gu Yuncong's state was obviously not as good as before, and he made a few mistakes.

Gu Yunchang quickly adjusted his mentality and worked hard to catch up.

The two teams chased after each other, and neither of them would give in. Halfway through the second half, there was a commotion at the entrance of the polo field.

Someone in the water pavilion let out a soft "Huh", and Gu Yanfei couldn't help but look sideways.

saw the direction of the garden, a dozen people surrounded by two noble ladies with extraordinary temperament, one was older, about forty years old; the other was younger, thirty-four or five years old.

Everyone respected the beautiful older woman, surrounded by the stars and the moon, willing to be the green leaves that foiled.

The beautiful middle-aged woman was wearing a purple tangle of chrysanthemum and chrysanthemums. Inside was a frosty white jacket with a stand-up collar and a dark embroidered horse-faced skirt underneath. A bun was simply tied on her head and inserted into one. White jade Ruyi pattern flat square.

Her skin is white and greasy, her facial features are graceful, with a dignified and shallow smile on the corners of her lips, she is demure and elegant, and vaguely reveals a noble temperament standing above the clouds.

With such a large group of people appearing here, it’s hard to be ignored.

Someone immediately recognized the identity of this middle-aged beautiful woman, and their eyes widened slightly.

Even people who don't know her recognize Princess Jing who is by her side, and see Princess Jing talking to the middle-aged beautiful woman in a soft voice, smiling and respectful.

There are only a handful of women in this world who can make Princess Jing so respectful...

"Is it the Empress Dowager?" Gu Yunzhen whispered.

Indeed, only the current queen mother can have such a platoon.
