038 Queen Mother
The young boy took a half-step forward with a red tray filled with various gold and silver coins, jade pendants, pearl necklaces, etc., and said to Gu Yanfei with a smile: "Sister, just place a bet, we are just playing.
"
Li Zhulang added diligently: "Everyone is just joining in the fun, you can bet big or small as you like..."
He just didn't say, if I lose, it's my fault. In fact, he even said it, but he was afraid of himself.
Gu Yun really recognized Li Zhulang and smiled generously: "Okay, I'll place a bet too..."
She looked around at the dazzling array of red and blue trays, then 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 others were all stunned.
The young boy couldn't help but remind him: "The chance of a draw is less than 10%..."
A draw is rare, so betting on a draw is equivalent to giving money to the banker.
"Okay, okay." Li Zhulang couldn't wait to interrupt his cousin and said, stroking his hands, "Betting on a draw has high odds. If you win, the bet can be doubled several times." It doesn't matter if you lose, as long as the beauty is happy!
The young boy admired his cousin so much that he thought to himself: My cousin is really unprincipled in order to please the beauty.
Gu Yanfei was aroused and wanted to place a bet, but when she touched her empty wallet, she remembered that she had no money.
"Gululu."
A small gold ingot was thrown in from the window, rolled on the table, and settled in front of Gu Yanfei.
Immediately afterwards, a dark and delicate face poked out of the window, grinning, and the smile was extremely bright.
"Miss Gu, our young master will escort you!" Xiao Shi winked at Gu Yanfei happily, holding a dark red tray with golden osmanthus in his hand.
"..." Li Zhulang also wanted to bet on behalf of Gu Yanfei, but he was a step too late. His face instantly froze, and he thought to himself: Which young master? He is so attentive for nothing, and he is either a traitor or a thief...could he be a love rival?!
"Xiao Shi." Looking at Xiao Shi's dark and bright eyes, Gu Yanfei's heart moved. She remembered the line of sight she had just felt outside the water pavilion and felt relieved.
It turned out to be him, what a coincidence.
"Master asked me to say hello to the girl." Xiao Shi's smile became brighter, revealing two rows of white teeth. At the same time, he took a glass of wine from the tray and brought it to Gu Yanfei.
This is a glass of osmanthus wine. The light yellow liquid is as clear as amber. There are small and exquisite golden osmanthus flowers floating in it, exuding an elegant fragrance. Compared with the rich floral fragrance of fresh osmanthus, this light wine fragrance
Just right.
Gu Yanfei picked up the glass of osmanthus wine, sniffed it, raised her eyebrows and said, "Is it from Qiongfangzhai?"
"Young girl is really a good judge of things." Xiao Shi chuckled and guided Gu Yanfei to look at the Moonlight Tower on the other side of the lake.
Gu Yanfei raised her chin slightly, and saw from a distance that the gauze curtain on the third floor was lifted up by a slender hand, revealing a familiar white figure. Because of the distance, the young man's handsome face was not clear, and he could only see the hand in his hand.
Holding the same white porcelain wine glass.
The young man in white raised his glass, saluted from afar, and then drank the wine in one gulp.
This cup is a tribute to Danyang City.
The two looked at each other silently, and Gu Yanfei smiled lightly, extremely brightly.
She also raised her glass to Chu Yi on the other side of the lake, raised her head and drank it all in one gulp, her movements elegant and straightforward.
Li Zhulang was stunned by the beauty's smile, and then he craned his neck to look out the window, wanting to see who his love rival was. He was filled with annoyance: Why was he so late?
Unfortunately, he didn't see anything. The hazy gauze covering the window blocked his sight.
Outside the water pavilion, there was a burst of noisy laughter, and some people came back from the garden together.
Seeing the sound of people approaching, Xiao Shi bowed his hands to Gu Yanfei and left, without giving Li Zhulang a chance to try out the formula. At the same time, seven or eight people filed into the water pavilion, most of them with strange expressions on their faces.
with a smile on his face and whispered with interest:
"Why did Prince Fang fall down into the flower bed?"
"If you want to know, why don't you ask His Highness Prince Kang!"
"Isn't Miss Gu Er from Dingyuan Marquis Mansion also here? Isn't it the same thing to ask her?!"
"By the way, how could the three of them happen to be there?"
"..."
People's speculations floated over from time to time, one after another, without stopping after a cup of tea, and even gained momentum, spreading from the water pavilion to the polo ground.
However, when Gu Yunkuang came back in a new riding outfit, these people were as silent as mutes 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 for a cup of tea and started with a crisp gong.
The wanton sound of horse hooves sounded again, accompanied by the cheers of the crowd, and the white ball was shot high into the sky...
Kang Wangchu came off the field full of energy and high spirits. He also wanted to show off his skills in front of his sweetheart. He scored a goal not long after the second half started. However, Gu Yunchun's condition was obviously not as good as before and he made several mistakes.
Gu Yunzhuang quickly adjusted his mentality and worked hard to catch up.
The two teams were chasing each other, and no one was willing to give in. Halfway through the second half of the game, there was a commotion at the entrance to the polo ground.
Someone in the water pavilion softly said "Hey", and Gu Yanfei couldn't help but look sideways.
In the direction of the garden, I saw more than a dozen people walking towards two noble ladies with extraordinary temperament. One was older, about forty years old, and the other was younger, thirty-four or five years old.
Everyone respects the beautiful older woman, and stars surround her, willing to be the green leaves that accompany her.
The beautiful middle-aged woman was wearing a dark-purple gown with chrysanthemum flowers, a frost-white small vertical-collar middle coat, a dark embroidered horse skirt, and a simple bun on her head.
White jade with Ruyi pattern in flat square shape.
Her skin is white and greasy, her facial features are graceful, and there is a dignified and faint smile on her lips. She is quiet and elegant, and she also vaguely reveals the noble temperament of standing above the clouds.
With such a large group of people appearing here, it is difficult for others to ignore them.
Someone immediately recognized the identity of this beautiful middle-aged woman and their eyes widened slightly.
Even people who didn't know her would recognize Princess Jing who was accompanying her. She could see Princess Jing speaking softly to a beautiful middle-aged woman, with a smile on her face and eyes without losing respect.
There are only a handful of women in this world who can make Princess Jing so respectful...
"Is it the Queen Mother?" Gu Yunzhen whispered.
