Jingmen Fengyue

Chapter 297 Dispute (4)
The queen nodded silently.

"Your Majesty!" Wu Quan came to the gate of Fengluan Palace, bowed to the inside, and complained out of breath, "Just now someone sent back the news that Second Young Master Zheng won all the bets. Do you know how much Second Young Master Zheng bet? It's twenty bets. One bet is 10 taels, and the bet is a hidden bet. This round won several million taels of silver in the blink of an eye."

Everyone was startled when they heard this.

The emperor looked at Wu Quan and asked puzzledly, "You mean he won all the bets himself? What about others?"

"No one else bet right!" Wu Quan said.

"Which boat team won?" asked the emperor.

"It is the one recommended by King Yuqian of Lingnan, the No. [-] painting boat." Wu Quan said with admiration, "It is said that the painting boat shows the unique skills of exquisite flying flowers and a hundred birds coming to court. What’s more, at the end, it attracted a hundred birds to circle around the boat, unable to go away. This is the real stunt. The first place is well deserved.”

"Oh?" The emperor looked at Wu Quan, "It seems that Brother Yuqian is able to recommend you to the capital, and you really have a unique eye!"

Wu Quan naturally wouldn't nod or answer the emperor's words when he heard the words.Back then, the emperor was only born of a nobleman, but he got the support of Queen Deci and his only son, Prince Ying, to take the throne.Back then there were many brothers, and in that fight for the throne, some died, some were injured, and some were distributed.This King Yuqian was competitive but powerless, and did not cause too much harm to the emperor. Therefore, after the emperor ascended the throne, he was sent to the fief, which is Lingnan.But in the end it is a vassal king, and it is somewhat taboo.

"In the past, this kid didn't play very well. What's the matter this year?" The emperor was puzzled, and looked at Prince Ying and Princess Ying.

Princess Ying shook her head, a little annoyed, and said angrily, "My wife doesn't know, this brat dares to bet twenty secretly, he is really not afraid of losing half of Prince Ying's mansion to me."

"Isn't this a win? The noble son of the capital city has lost this time, and I'm afraid his pockets will be full, so he will be enriched alone." The queen said with a smile, "But he is really brave, 200 million taels The hidden bet of silver, doubled to 400 million taels."

"Hmph, what can't he do! This time, he will have the face to show off his strength after winning this time." The emperor said.

"Your Majesty, alas, it's not the second son Zheng who made the bet, but the maid next to him. It should be said that the maid is bold." Wu Gonggong said.

"Huh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, "There is such a thing, please explain it carefully."

"It's like this. Today, the second son of Zheng took the maidservant to the Yunu River. Originally, the second son of Zheng didn't seem to want to play, but Princess Lian and the eighth prince insisted on pulling him to play. He didn't show face. Princess Lian was annoyed. , and pulled that maid..." Wu Quan carefully reported all the news he had received to the emperor.

After hearing this, the emperor did not speak.

"It's amazing, it turned out that a maid made a bet and won." Concubine Lin said in surprise.

"The courtiers have always been curious about the maid who the second son of Zheng received to listen to the voice. It has been more than a month, and the second son of Zheng has not brought her into the palace. Is the little maid so discerning? I am afraid that the second son of Zheng Tell her which bet to bet on!" Concubine Shen said.

"I think what Sister Shen said makes sense. If the second son Zheng bets, we will still believe it." Concubine Liu responded to Concubine Shen.

"It's also reasonable for you to say that." Concubine Lin said.

Princess Ying smiled, and took over the conversation, "You are not familiar with Tingyin, she is indeed a courageous little girl. Maybe Brother Zheng didn't ask her to choose such a thing, but she chose it herself. That The child looks cute, but in fact, his temper is about the same as that of Zheng'er, and he grew up with a lot of guts."

"Princess, could it be that she, a maidservant, made the bet?" Concubine Shen and Concubine Liu still didn't quite believe it.

Princess Ying smiled and said, "I'll find out when I go back and ask him. Maybe he asked her to do it. As a mother, I don't dare to guarantee it."

"Miss Zhongyonghou's Mansion didn't go to the Yunuhe River today? Why did Brother Zheng take a maid with him on such a day?" Dowager Lin asked.

"He went to Zhongyonghou's Mansion first in the morning. The Hua girl in Zhongyonghou's Mansion had been tossing hard for the past two days during the Chinese New Year. She finally got better and went back. A few days ago, I went to Prince Ying's Mansion to see her. Hey, then There are a lot of red beans on her face, and she can't see people anymore. Poor child, I don't know when the magic doctor will be found to cure her disease." Princess Ying sighed.

"It's serious again? How can this be a good thing? I've always wondered why Brother Zheng won't marry Miss Zhongyonghoufu?" Dowager Lin looked at Princess Ying and asked with concern.

Princess Ying saw that the emperor also looked at her, and she sighed, "It's my fault too. Back then, after I gave birth to Zheng'er, she was pregnant, and Yuwan and I talked about the child, and we made an agreement. Said that if she gave birth to a daughter, then she would promise it to my son. We are handkerchiefs, good sisters, let the two children become married, and we will become in-laws. I will definitely not lose her daughter. She does this The mother-in-law will definitely not make things difficult for my son."

"There is such a thing? Why haven't you heard it all these years?" Concubine Lin was a little surprised.

"It was just a verbal agreement at the time." Princess Ying glanced at the emperor, saw that he was listening seriously, she lowered her eyelashes, and continued, "Besides, the gates of the Prince Ying's Mansion and the Zhongyonghou Mansion of our two wives are very different. It's not an ordinary family, and we can't decide what we say. Although we both have our hearts, but we didn't discuss this matter further, and both Xie Ying and Yu Wan had an accident. This matter can only be shelved."

"So that's how it is!" Concubine Lin suddenly said, "Since this is the case, why did Brother Zheng not marry her? Did you mention it to him?"

Princess Ying shook her head, "I didn't mention it, I just talked to my dowry girl a few times in private, maybe I was accidentally overheard by him, and I kept it in my heart. Nine years ago, at the old Hou Ye's birthday banquet, He probably met girl Hua. Later, girl Hua was sick and couldn't go out for a walk. The bastard was curious about the crabapple in Haitang Garden, and said that it was better than the Luomei from Luomeiju or the crabapple in Haitang Garden, so he ran quietly. I went to someone’s Haitang Court to see Haitang. It should be Shangxin after coming and going. A few days ago, I heard that the emperor intends to marry him, and Hua girl has passed her age, so he became anxious. With Lingque Terrace, which one will come out?"

"There are so many things going on? Why didn't I hear you mention before that brother Zheng actually likes Xie Fanghua secretly?" The queen couldn't help asking.

"How do I know? I always thought that he was so domineering and domineering, that he didn't like the ladies in Beijing. The Luomei Residence where he lived didn't let any maids in. I thought he didn't like women. What are you worried about? You can’t wait to drag a maid to him. You all know that!" Princess Ying said angrily, "It was only on New Year's Eve that I found out that he was going to marry Miss Zhongyonghou."
