In the past, when he heard Gu Qingyan's words, the emperor might have been very happy, because what he wanted most was for An Huajin and Gu Qingyan to get along well and get married as soon as possible, but now, he was in trouble. Although he had the intention of canceling the engagement, whether it was the importance the Gu family placed on An Huajin, or the fact that Gu Qingyan was getting along well with An Huajin, and also valued recognition and tolerance, he could not begin to speak out.
These four words "cancel the engagement".
Making an engagement back then seems simple now, but it was also very easy back then. He first designed the painting where the old Nanyang King saw Gu Qingyan in the South Study Room, and then boasted about how Gu Qingyan was a prodigy, a genius, extremely smart, and extremely talented.
At such a young age, the old Nanyang King, whose appearance was outstanding, could be said to have been moved by Gu Qingyan after carefully observing the painting "Rivers and Mountains", so he took the opportunity to propose a marriage between Gu Qingyan and Gu Qingyan.
The old King of Nanyang thought about it again and again, hesitating, and then he summoned Mr. Gu into the palace. He met Mr. Gu. Mr. Gu didn't know why. When he heard the two mentioned his grandson, he praised his grandson Gu Qingyan again.
, there is only one person in the world who can be so praised. Mr. Gu is a restrained person, old and prudent, which made him proudly praise his grandson. Obviously, his grandson is really excellent. The old Nanyang King gritted his teeth and made up his mind to agree.
An Huajin and Gu Qingyan made a marriage contract.
At that time, Mr. Gu was dumbfounded. After listening to the old Nanyang King raving about An Huajin, he hesitated again and again, gritted his teeth and agreed.
Now, he doesn't want others to get married. There must be a reasonable and reliable reason that cannot be easily destroyed. Otherwise, even as an emperor, he will not be able to manipulate his ministers as he pleases and offend the Gu family and the An family.
He sighed deeply, being an emperor is really difficult.
Liancheng Lake is in full swing, and the sound of cheering can be heard endlessly. Although the emperor is in a complicated mood, such a lively event still makes him feel happy. The country he governs is still peaceful.
So, let’s plan some things slowly!
The dragon boat race attracted a lot of attention. Halfway through, there were four boats running side by side, Chu Yan's, Chu Chen's, Gu's, and one from Guangcheng Houfu. The person in charge of the dragon boat was Jiang Yunzhi, the young prince of Guangcheng Houfu.
.
The Jiang surnames of Guangcheng Houfu and Liguo Gongfu were the same family decades ago, but later they separated and established separate houses, becoming two Jiangs. In contrast, Liguo Gongfu has been in decline for some years, but this generation has only one Jiang.
Yun Yi has someone to support the family. The Guangcheng Hou Mansion has been prospering in recent years, and his descendants are very proud of it. However, because the coachman Cheng Qi hid the Guangcheng Hou Mansion a month ago, the Guangcheng Hou Mansion was implicated in the poisoned tea case, and its vitality was greatly reduced.
Shang, the current situation is similar to that of the Duke of Li Kingdom. The young Marquis Jiang Yunzhi is also a man capable of both literary and military skills.
"Is that the dragon boat of the Marquis of Guangcheng?" The queen leaned forward and looked again and again.
An Huajin didn't know Jiang Yunzhi, but when she saw the obvious sign on the dragon boat, which said Guangcheng Houfu, she could still see it clearly. She nodded, "Auntie, it's the dragon boat of Guangchenghoufu." p>
"It seems that the momentum is very strong." The queen said with a smile, "These four dragon boats have not separated yet, and your bet of 100,000 taels may be lost."
"Auntie, can't you have some confidence in your son?" An Huajin complained in a low voice, "I don't really want to lose."
"You're not afraid if you lose. Aren't you the seventh cousin and the seventh young master Gu? If your seventh cousin doesn't compensate you, I won't spare him." The queen smiled.
"Then I also want to win. If I lose, I will seek compensation from my seventh cousin. Huai'an also said that he would provide me with supplies, but after all, it is just my matter of one hundred thousand taels. Whoever takes it is my own money. Win
It will be different now. My one hundred thousand taels may be able to produce several hundred thousand taels. Although this year’s military pay has been settled, there is still next year. Next year’s military pay will be worth a little bit.”
The queen was stunned and turned to look at the emperor.
The emperor was also slightly stunned, and the smile on his face slowly faded, and he looked at An Huajin, "Little An'er, this year's military pay has just been sent away, and you are already worried about next year?"
An Huajin sighed deeply, "Your Majesty, there are millions of soldiers and horses in Nanyang. They need to not only be fed, but also clothed and warmed. They must also be used as needed. Try to make them a military camp and a home. We must try our best to meet the conditions."
Well, after all, most of the soldiers guarding Dachu have left their hometowns, and it is very hard. In the past three years, my grandfather has entrusted me with the preparation of Nanyang military pay every year. I have developed a habit of being blind to money and wishing for money.
Money will be spent again. Only when the soldiers are well can we share the worries of Your Majesty and Dachu, right? I will worry more this year and worry less next year."
The emperor is silent.
The military pay of the Nanyang Army has been restricted since the grain robbery case occurred when he first came to the throne eighteen years ago. In the past eighteen years, the military pay of the Nanyang Army has been restricted. When the national treasury is abundant, he does not want to give more. When the national treasury is not abundant, he will
Needless to say.
It's just that no one has dared to point it out in front of him.
He was suddenly in a bad mood, with a sullen face and said nothing.
The people sitting around felt that the topic was wrong and the atmosphere was wrong. They were watching the dragon boat race excitedly, but they all fell silent and did not dare to speak out.
An Huajin didn't care. His Majesty wouldn't use these words to punish her. She watched the dragon boat race intently.
"Don't worry, I will allocate next year's military salary to the Nanyang Army as early as possible." The emperor was silent for a moment and then spoke.
Anhua Jin smiled brightly, "Then I would like to thank Your Majesty on behalf of the Nanyang Army! Your regard for the Nanyang Army is a blessing to the soldiers guarding the border."
The emperor's expression softened slightly.
The atmosphere suddenly relaxed.
"The Gu family is really lagging behind!" the eldest princess said.
The emperor looked at the dragon boat race with a smile on his face and said, "Huai'an, you are right. After all, Master Gu Jiu is younger. Although he likes martial arts, he is very dexterous in maneuvering dragon boats. But after all, Master Gu Liu and Master Gu are literati and have strong strength."
Not enough, the team we chose really doesn’t have a tacit understanding of each other.”
Gu Qingyan smiled, "Ninth brother likes to play and is just joining in the fun."
"Next, look at these three dragon boats, which one will be eliminated first?" the emperor asked with a smile.

Gu Qingyan shook his head, "I can't tell. I only know more about my own family."
The emperor laughed and said, "Huai'an, there is something you don't know. The auspicious days and auspicious times determined by Qin Tian Jian invite the rain god. I heard that you have made great contributions. Your calculations of celestial phenomena are so accurate. I feel that I should make you emperor."
You should be a teacher."
Everyone was shocked.
"Your Majesty, please stop making fun of me." Gu Qingyan smiled lightly, "I have no merit, it is all the credit of the adults in Qintianjian. I just guessed for a few days, and in the end it was Qintianjian.
The exact date set by a group of adults is very good for me to be in the official department."
The emperor smiled and said, "You always deny your own merit. How many times have you denied in these years? I don't even remember. Your temperament not only makes me love you deeply, but also makes me helpless."
Gu Qingyan smiled and said nothing.
An Huajin took the opportunity to interject, "Your Majesty, we are an unmarried couple. If he has any unnecessary merits, why don't you give them to me in the future? What a waste, I am not afraid that the rewards will be too large to be eaten."
Emperor: "..."
He laughed angrily, "You just stay here and don't marry him for a day. No matter how good he is, it won't be your turn."
An Huajin flattened his mouth and turned his head, obviously not wanting to pay attention to the emperor anymore.
"Look at her, what does she look like!" The emperor pointed at An Huajin and said to the queen, "Is she trying to embarrass me?"
The queen smiled and said, "She is naughty and mischievous. She is deliberately irritating you. Don't pay attention to her. She is worried about her one hundred thousand taels of silver now."
The emperor laughed, but he was not really angry.
"Ah, Chu Chen's dragon boat is lagging behind." The eldest princess always pays attention to the dragon boat race.
When everyone saw it, no, Chu Chen's dragon boat was really lagging behind. Currently, only Chu Yan's dragon boat and Guangcheng Houfu's dragon boat were left.
An Huajin took a breath and said, "It doesn't matter if the seventh cousin falls behind."
As she spoke, she stood up, holding on to the white jade railing of the pavilion, and shouted at the dragon boats rowing side by side on Liancheng Lake, "Seventh cousin, I placed a bet of one hundred thousand taels on you, and if you don't get the third
Once, I will empty out your seventh prince’s mansion and pay for my money!”
An Huajin has martial arts and internal strength. Her shout was clear and loud, covering up the shouts and cheers outside.
The dragon boat on Liancheng Lake is still moving forward hard, I wonder if Chu Yan can hear it.
An Huajin shouted three times in succession, and after all the movement around her was silenced, she turned back with satisfaction and sat back down.
The emperor laughed and scolded, "What does it look like! Shouting!"
An Huajin stuck out his tongue and smiled again.
Gu Qingyan chuckled, "With Princess An's prestige, I don't know whether she threatened His Highness the Seventh Highness, or threatened the Young Marquis of Guangcheng Marquis Mansion. No matter which one it is, it must be effective."
Sure enough, not long after he finished his words, when he was approaching the finish line, Guangcheng Houfu's dragon boat gradually fell behind. After a while, Chu Yan's dragon boat took the lead and sprinted to the first place.
An Huajin cheered, stood up again, and grabbed Gu Qingyan. She didn't know whether she was getting carried away or deliberately. In short, she was very bold and upright and took Gu Qingyan's waist without any scruples.
Jump down from the viewing pavilion.
Accompanied by frightened exclamations from all around, she held Gu Qingyan firmly in her arms and landed on Chu Yan's dragon boat. With a "bang", she smashed Chu Yan's dragon boat and sent water spraying into the sky.
