Princess, he is rich enough to rival the country

It is not uncommon to add lottery to the drinking order.

For the eldest prince's request, the emperor of course readily agreed, and even took the lead in adding a lot of money.

The object that was taken out by the emperor as a lottery head was a piece of jade pendant taken from his waist.

Seriously speaking, this jade pendant is not a valuable item.

But even if it is an ordinary jade pendant, once it passes through the hands of the emperor and gets the word "Queen" on it, it seems to become unusual.

Not to mention this jade pendant, which was still worn on the emperor's waist the last moment.

Gu Yanshu could obviously feel that when the emperor put the jade pendant on the plate, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed slightly.

The ministers, who were quite careless at first, were more or less serious in their eyes.

Of course, there are also those who voluntarily withdraw.

For example, Mr. Pei, the first assistant, also took off a jade pendant from his waist, put it on the plate containing the colorful head, and then slightly arched his hands:

"The old minister is older, and his energy is not as good as before. I am afraid that this wine order is a little weak-minded and unable to participate. I hope the emperor and everyone will be sympathetic."

Anyone with a discerning eye will know that this is Mr. Pei's excuse.

It doesn't take much physical effort to make poetry fly, but it depends more on literary attainments, so how can it be powerless?

Among the people who came to the palace banquet, no one can confidently say that they are better than Mr. Pei in literature.

From the point of view of winning or losing, it would be a good thing for others if Mr. Pei did not participate.

So in the end, no one raised any objection to Mr. Pei's request.

After a while, everyone in the hall had already placed their prizes in the tray in the hands of the little eunuch.

Most of the people who came to the palace banquet were men, and most of the trays were jade pendants or unsharp daggers for decoration.

Qin Lu didn't like to wear accessories, so he naturally didn't have anything on his body to make a splash.

Only there is a dagger at his waist, this is the privilege given to Qin Lu by the emperor, and he is allowed to wear a weapon on his body when he faces the saint.

But that dagger was Gu Yanshu's token of love to Qin Lu, and Gu Yanshu's nickname was engraved on it, so how could Qin Lu be willing to regard it as a prize?

In the end, Gu Yanshu untied a gold filigree sachet from his waist and put it in the tray.

Just as Gu Yanshu put the sachet into the tray, the eldest prince over there spoke again:

"Since Princess Li is the most

The last person who shines first, why not start with Princess Li in this wine order? "

As soon as the eldest prince finished speaking, the originally noisy hall instantly became quiet.

Although it wasn't enough to hear the drop of a needle, it was much quieter than before.

The name of Young Master Gu as a dude can be said to be resounding throughout the capital. Even the ministers who didn't know much about Young Master Gu basically knew what kind of person he was when the Third Prince got married.

Now the eldest prince is proposing a drinking order again, and it is to give Princess Li a big head start. It is obvious that the comer is not kind!

It would be fine if the relationship between Concubine Li and King Li was indifferent.

But from the interaction between the two just now, it can be clearly seen that King Li and Concubine Li are in a strong relationship, and the eldest prince's behavior is ready to tear the last layer of window paper with His Highness King Li?

A sensitive minister subconsciously glanced at the position of the emperor on the throne.

Who knew but found that the emperor only raised his eyebrows slightly, and didn't intend to intervene in the slightest, obviously he was going to watch from the sidelines.

Such a reaction immediately made the ministers feel a little puzzled:

Judging from various deeds during this period, the emperor obviously liked His Highness Li Wang more.

But now seeing that Concubine Li is about to make a fool of herself, why does the emperor have no reaction at all?

You must know that this husband and wife are one, and if Princess Li makes a fool of himself, His Highness Li Wang's face will also be dull.

So does the emperor like King Li more, or does he prefer the eldest prince?

No information could be seen from the emperor's face, so everyone could only turn their attention to Gu Yanshu, preparing to see how Gu Yanshu would respond.

I saw Gu Yanshu first smiled lightly, raised his eyebrows slightly, then raised his eyes to look at the eldest prince:

"Then according to what the great emperor wants, should I follow the flying flower order or the throwing pot order?"

"Of course it depends on Princess Li's own wishes. If I have to say it, I think this flying flower order may be more suitable for Princess Li."

There was a slightly astonished expression on the eldest prince's face, apparently he did not expect that Gu Yanshu would ask him this question.

After a moment of silence, he still opened his mouth and gave Gu Yanshu the answer:

"After all, this pot-throwing order is prepared for the generals. All the generals are good horsemen and archers. It is inevitable that others are a little inferior in this respect."

What he said was righteous, if people who don't know the truth heard it, they might really think that he was thinking for Gu Yanshu.

Gu Yanshu was not satisfied with the eldest prince's answer.

outer.

After all, this drinking order was originally a hole dug for him by the First Prince.

Tossing pots is originally a kind of entertainment, and many civil servants are also not good at it. If you can't fly flower orders, how can you make others more intuitively realize that he, Gu Yanshu, is an idiot?

During the questioning and answering between Gu Yanshu and the eldest prince, many people felt the aura of tension between the two.

Afterwards, everyone saw that King Li who had been sitting next to Gu Yanshu moved, as if he wanted to say something, but before he could speak, Princess Li raised her hand and pressed down.

Immediately afterwards, everyone heard Princess Li's question:

"I think what Big Brother wants to play today is probably not drinking orders, but to see me make a fool of myself, right?"

As soon as this slightly questioning words came out, the courtiers who were still thinking about how Princess Li would respond were more or less surprised:

It was the first time that the ministers, who had learned to keep three points in their actions and beat around the bush when they spoke in the officialdom, met such a straightforward person as Gu Yanshu.

The ministers who were startled by Gu Yanshu didn't notice at all that there was a flash of interest in the eyes of the emperor who was originally sitting on the throne and watching from the sidelines.

The eldest prince frowned slightly, and asked:

"Why did Princess Li say such a thing?"

"Where did you say that?"

Gu Yanshu frowned slightly, and his tone rose slightly:

"No one in this capital knows that this hall is an ignorant idiot who can barely read a few words, but now Brother Dahuang insists on letting this hall carry out this flying flower order, isn't it because he wants to see what this hall is making a fool of himself?"

One sentence is called a loud and confident.

In fact, if Gu Yanshu was not going to fly, Gu Yanshu might not be helpless.

There is a saying in Huaxia, which is to read three hundred Tang poems by heart, even if you don't know how to compose poems, you can also recite them.

Tianqi and Huaxia are two completely different parallel time and space.

For 5000 years in China, hundreds of schools of thought competed with each other, and there are not a few quatrains that have been handed down through the ages.

But Gu Yanshu couldn't pass a hurdle in his heart.

He can take out the words of Confucius and Mencius, but the premise of all this is that everyone knows that the words of Confucius and Mencius came from the mouths of two sages, Confucius and Mencius.

He cannot claim the credit of others for himself.

Since he couldn't recite it, and Gu Yanshu didn't know how to compose poems, he simply took a slanted sword and directly overturned the chessboard of the eldest prince.

It has to be said that Gu Yanshu's unconventional way of playing cards really caught the eldest prince by surprise.

He never thought that this

There are people like Gu Yanshu in this world, as if being ignorant and incompetent is something to be proud of.

Just when the eldest prince didn't know how to answer, the fourth prince who was sitting on the side sighed slightly, and stood up from his seat:

"Concubine Li misunderstood, and said that the rumors are not credible. The elder brother just felt that the rumors in Beijing were all slandering Concubine Li, so he made this request, not because he wanted to see Concubine Li make a fool of herself."

These words reminded the eldest prince, so he nodded without thinking:

"Yes! This hall also thinks that the rumors are not true."

"The First Prince should know by now that the rumor is true, right?"

Gu Yanshu raised his chin, looking at the eldest prince with very obvious eyes, should Fei Hua Ling start with him?

At this time, what else can the First Prince say?

If you insist on letting Gu Yanshu fly, wouldn't it prove what Gu Yanshu just said that he didn't want to play the drinking order, but wanted to see Gu Yanshu make a fool of himself?

It's good for everyone to understand this kind of thing in private, how can it be said publicly?

The eldest prince opened his mouth to speak, but the emperor, who had been sitting on the main seat and had not spoken for a long time, opened his mouth one step ahead of the eldest prince:

"Since Princess Li has said so, it's fine for Feihua to order Princess Li not to participate. Since the order to drink alcohol was proposed by the boss, let's start with the boss."

"Yes."

The emperor has already spoken, what else can the eldest prince say?Naturally, he could only nod his head.

Instead, Gu Yanshu, who was standing aside, did not give an answer for a long time.

Seeing this, Qin Yuan frowned slightly, and couldn't help asking:

"What? You are not happy if you are not allowed to participate?"

There was no dissatisfaction in the tone, and there seemed to be a bit of ridicule from the elders towards the younger ones.

Gu Yanshu's perception of people's emotions is very obvious, even if he climbed up the pole, he muttered in a moderate voice:

"My son just gave the lottery..."

While speaking, he still glanced at the tray in the eunuch's hand.

The emperor who looked at it with a sore face felt a little fresh:

"How much is your sachet worth? What kind of show will you play in front of me? Did you make less money from the glass? Or did the teahouse make less money?"

Unexpectedly, Gu Yanshu disapproved on his face, and continued to retort muttering:

"Business is business, lottery is lottery, how can this be confused?"

"Then what do you mean, you don't want to give the lottery, and you don't want to enforce the drinking order?"

The emperor was really about to be laughed out of anger by Gu Yanshu:

"Where in the world is there such a good thing for you

Take it all? "

Maybe seeing the emperor was angry, now Gu Yanshu didn't dare to say anything, and quickly leaned over to answer:

"What the father taught me is that my son knew he was wrong."

It's just the expression on that face, no matter how you look at it, there is a sense of grievance.

That is to say, Wen Qingxiao is not here today, if he is, maybe he will point to Gu Yanshu and say something, just like this, how dare you say that he is inconsistent?

When it comes to acting like a baby, Gu Yanshu's proficiency is not far behind.

The emperor was obviously amused by the grievance on Gu Yanshu's face, and he said helplessly:

"Okay, isn't it just a lottery? Look, I feel sorry for you! You are so young, come and bring this to Princess Li, so that no one else will say that the royal family is bullying the new daughter-in-law!"

While speaking, Qin Yuan took off a piece of jade paper from between his thumbs, put it in the hands of Eunuch Wang, and motioned him to give it to Gu Yanshu.

In fact, Gu Yanshu just casually said that he was climbing up the ladder, and he never thought that there would be such an unexpected joy.

There are cheap but not the bastard!

Looking at the jade ring handed to him by the prince, Gu Yanshu just slightly declined, and then took it.

And this scene made the pupils of many ministers shrink slightly.

The jade pendant that the emperor put into the tray just now as a colorful head, at first glance, it is an ordinary jade pendant used for clothing matching.

Even if there are not ten yuan in the emperor's palace, there are eight yuan.

But this wrench is different.

In the memory of the courtiers, this wrench had been worn between the emperor's thumbs for some years, and he rarely took it off, and even played with it from time to time, obviously it was a beloved item.

But now it was just that Princess Li had expressed some grievances in her words, and the emperor directly gave this finger-wringing as compensation to Princess Li.

Even though the emperor really likes King Li very much recently, is this really the level that ordinary Ai Wu and Wu can achieve?

The ministers pondered the emperor's attitude towards Concubine Li in their hearts, but the eldest prince had already lost his mind because of the emperor's sentence "Did you make less money from the glass? Or did the teahouse make less money?"

Although the eldest prince is not talented enough and occasionally makes some stupid moves, he has a certain understanding of his father.

Just relying on the emperor's words, the eldest prince knew that whether it was Tao Ranju, Guiyuanju or Yaoyue Pavilion, they all belonged exclusively to Gu Yanshu.

Now Tao Ran Juzhong sells the most in demand, and the glass that needs to be ordered two months in advance can only be customized by Gu Yanshu!

玻

Glass belongs to Gu Yanshu, so what about other things?

Soap, soap, toilet paper?And that magnifying glass and glasses?And a few days ago, the movable type printing in the hands of the father...

In just a split second, the eldest prince felt that something in his mind that he had been neglecting had been opened up:

From the beginning of the glass to the last little green vegetables, these new things only appeared after Princess Li married into Prince Li's mansion!

No one is more unwilling to accept this fact than the First Prince.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see how much benefit Prince Li's Mansion has received from the emperor and how much favor he has received from the emperor because of these new gadgets.

Now the eldest prince found out that these benefits and favors were given to Qin Lu with all his heart and soul, how would he accept it?

What the eldest prince can think of, the fourth prince and the noble concubine can naturally think of.

Immediately, the faces of the mother and son became a little ugly.

Rao is the deepest noble concubine in the city, and the usual smile on her face can no longer be held at this time.

And the one whose mood is completely opposite to that of the noble concubine is naturally the imperial concubine.

No matter how ugly the noble concubine's face is at this time, the smile on the imperial concubine's face is as real as it is.

The distance between the two was already extremely short, but the imperial concubine seemed to feel that the concubine was not stimulated enough at this time, so she turned slightly towards the concubine:

"Since King Li's wedding, I seem to have forgotten to thank my sister. I am so concerned about my son's life-long affairs, but I am more concerned than this mother and concubine who is a true Erba Jing."

In a word, it almost made the imperial concubine vomit blood directly.

If it wasn't for worrying that this was a palace banquet, if it wasn't for the emperor still sitting aside at this moment, the noble concubine would have wished to tear the imperial concubine's mouth open.

But now, she can only suppress the depression in her heart, and smile at the imperial concubine:

"Where is the sister? You and my sister are of the same mind. The son of the sister is the son of the sister. It should be taken care of for her."

The noble concubine responded reluctantly, and the eldest prince below was also uncomfortable.

The possibility that came to mind just now made the eldest prince feel a little confused.

But the emperor had already sent a message just now, and the order of flying flowers started from him.

Therefore, while the eldest prince's mind is in a mess, he still has to step into the hole he just dug for Gu Yanshu, and draw out his thoughts to write a poem.

At any rate, the First Prince had received Tianqi's top-notch education since he was a child, and even though his mind was full of muddleheaded at this moment, he finally managed to utter the first sentence by relying on experience and instinct.

Although what Feihua said was out of standard, judging from the extremely amateur appreciation level of ancient poems that take care of Yanshu, this sentence of Feihua is quite like the famous poet in ancient China, Emperor Qianlong, but it can be regarded as saying it anyway.

And the eldest prince is not the only one who is absent-minded because of the emperor's few words in the palace?

Under the circumstances that most people were absent-minded, Fei Hua, the first prince's sentence, which was out of standard, naturally passed the test.

The next flying flower order is nothing to watch, Gu Yanshu said that it is not as interesting as the face-changing Sichuan opera performed by the eldest prince just now.

On the other hand, the general's throwing pot order seemed to be two points more exciting, and in the end it even exploded. The leader was taken down by a fifth-rank military officer who was newly promoted this year.

It is said that he is also a descendant of a family, and everyone in the family is from Wen. At the beginning, because of the matter of joining the army, there were many conflicts with the family.

As for the leader of the Fei Hua Order, he was acquired by the Wen family, Wen Qingshu.

For the two leaders, the lottery will naturally be divided equally.

Wen Qingshu directly asked the general to choose first. In his words, today's flying flowers are not as interesting as throwing a pot. If you think about it carefully, that general is the real leader today, and he should be selected first.

The drinking order was over, and many people were slightly tipsy because they drank a lot of wine during the game, and the time was a little late, so the emperor simply announced the end of the palace banquet.

Many people's minds were no longer on the palace banquet, and naturally they were looking forward to the early end. At this time, hearing the voice of the emperor, many people were slightly relieved in their hearts.

It's just that everyone didn't expect that the emperor, who was obviously closer to King Li and Princess Li at the palace banquet today, called the noble concubine before leaving.

That means, it is obvious that she is planning to go to the imperial concubine's palace tonight.

The faces of the eldest prince and others who had been gloomy for most of the palace banquet finally looked a little better at this time.

However, the courtiers who had already made up their minds began to waver again because of the emperor's actions.
