1937 Chapter 1937-a bet

Third Master Lu looked at Lu Jun for a long while. When it was their turn to enter the carriage, he instructed Lu Jun, How about this, Ill ask your second brothers opinion during the new year. Well talk about this after the new year.

Lu Jun heaved a sigh of relief. It was fine as long as he didnt refuse.

Each familys carriage stopped in order, and the people in the carriage got off and followed the palace maids to Baohe Palace.

The palace of Baohe was the place where the Emperor of the great Zhou hosted banquets for his subjects. It would be held in the palace of Baohe on every Festival or the birthday of the Empress.

The Baohe Palace Hall was very large, and only the family members of officials above the second rank were invited, so it was not enough to sit.

After all the officials had arrived, the Emperor and Empress Xue supported the Grand Empress Dowager over. The little crown Prince was already two years old, so he followed by the Empress side, holding onto the corner of her clothes as they walked.

The Emperor Wanwan, Grand Empress Dowager Wanwan, Empress Dowager Wanwan, His Highness the Crown Prince Wanwan

Everyone knelt down and paid their respects.

Rise!

After helping the Grand Empress Dowager to sit down, the Emperor returned to his seat. After seeing Empress Xue and the little crown Prince sit down, he called for everyone to get up.

Usually, the Emperor would be very serious at such a time. With the princes and princesses of the Western Region around, he had to maintain His Majesty at all times.

After everyone had taken their seats, the eunuch ordered the dishes to be served.

The Emperor raised his wine cup and said a few auspicious words. After everyone raised their cups and drank, they began to eat.

Not only were there delicacies, but there were also songs and dances.

The music was melodious, and the dance was graceful. Many people were watching while eating, especially he lianyi, who couldnt take his eyes off the beautiful girls. He was enjoying the wine while admiring the beautiful women.

Gu Xin was already immune to pretty girls, so she started to eat.

Gu Xin and Gu si ate with great relish. Gu Ren and Gu yingxue sat together, enjoying the dance as they ate.

Dopey Gu, call me big sister! Gu yingxue was so angry that she smacked him and said, I cant make any decisions for you now. You have to ask second uncle about this. However, I dont think second uncle will agree to it.

Why? Gu yingxue wasnt angry and didnt feel ashamed to ask.

Gu Nian and dopey Gu were smarter than her while she was dumber.

Why? Because I have an older brother above me and a group of younger brothers below me. I dont need to occupy an important position in the Imperial court. The Emperor and the ministers could only be at ease with their benefactors. I cant be too outstanding. If Im too outstanding, others will worry. His younger brothers had not grown up yet, so it was not too late to train his younger brothers after his son entered officialdom. So, I cant be too outstanding, or Ill cause trouble for the family. Gu Ren a.n.a.lyzed the situation for Gu yingxue.

Thats impossible, right? Youve been tortured by second uncle to study all day, and youre telling me that he doesnt want you to take the Imperial examinations? I dont believe it. Gu yingxue shook her head.

Why is it impossible? Gu Ren rolled his eyes and laughed. you dont believe me? Why dont we make a bet? In the first month of the lunar year, I asked second uncle if he would be willing to send me to the Royal Academy when I reached the age. He would definitely be willing.
