Chapter 277. Betting
The two little ones kept arguing, and Emperor Wenxuan was so scared that he was sweating coldly.
"Since it's the Crown Prince's recommendation, then Princess Yong'an will be in charge of this matter. After the imperial examination is over, she will be rewarded with two thousand taels of gold!"
Oh my God!
The little gold he had just snatched from those bastards was put back into the little girl's pocket before he could even warm it up.
Yunhua's eyes lit up instantly, and she grinned and shouted, "Your Majesty, I will definitely not let you down!"
[Oh my...]
Our Donglin Emperor is truly generous. He not only governs well, but also loves his people like his own children, and works tirelessly for them. Unlike the neighboring Beijiang Emperor, who is incredibly stingy, even starts wars and disregards the safety of his people.
[You are truly a wise ruler. With you in charge of Donglin, the world will be peaceful, the seas and rivers will be clear, and prosperity will flourish...]
Yunhua's flattery made Emperor Wenxuan so confused that he couldn't tell east from west and north from south. He raised his head proudly.
This is not.
He was so happy that he said immediately, "The imperial examination is a matter of great importance to the future of Donglin. With Lord Xiaoyun supervising, I am relieved. Two thousand taels are not enough to express my gratitude. I will add another three thousand taels!"
Civil and military officials expressed their opinions.
They really don’t envy me at all!
"Your Majesty, thank you for your reward!" Yunhua smiled so hard that his teeth were showing. Everyone knows how to flatter.
The Book of Life and Death pouted, somewhat unhappily, and said, "Forget it, forget it. Since the old emperor knows the rules, let's let him go this time."
Emperor Wenxuan breathed a sigh of relief. This girl was really easy to coax.
The judge's pen stared at the prince intently, noticing he was constantly lowering his presence and looking menacing. "Let's let the old emperor go, but we can't let the prince who came up with this idea go!"
[Huahua is growing up now. It's hard enough getting up early to go to court, and he even squeezes out your rest time. Look how thin my Huahua has become!]
Everyone: ...
Nangong Yuan looked at his little girl with heartache.
I have indeed lost weight.
What a pointed chin! The chubby little girl looked prettier before.
Nangong Yuan glanced at the Crown Prince dimly and said, "She... has lost weight. She has been really worried about your future as the Emperor and the world of Donglin."
Prince: I&%￥#……
He wanted to cry but had no tears, as he was clearly pushed out by someone.
"Your Majesty, I was the one who recommended this matter. I feel guilty for asking Princess Yong'an to take care of the imperial examination in addition to her regular duties. Although I have your reward, I would also like to give you three thousand taels of gold as a reward."
His three warehouses.
The last one has been opened.
[Wow! You're quite considerate. I'll let it go this time. I'll take good care of you from now on...]
Your two children, Xiao Fengxian and Xiao Haitang, then came to my house.
"Little Shushu, Little Bibi, what do you think? Should I let Xiao Fengxian become the next emperor right away, or should I let the crown prince be the emperor for ten days or half a month to satisfy his desire before dethroning him?" Yunhua sighed inwardly.
[I'm so confused. If only the Crown Prince could give me some more gold and let the Crown Princess accompany me...]
The prince was staggering and grabbed Nangong Yuan's arm to prevent himself from fainting.
"Listen, listen!"
"She not only cared about my warehouse, but also my children, and finally even my wife!"
"Cousin, can't you really control your little girl?"
Nangong Yuan replied calmly, "I'm afraid of my wife!"
He was afraid that Xiao Huaer would be unhappy and he would be the one who would suffer in the end.
Anyway, the little girl was just teasing them, so he wasn't worried at all.
Prince: ...
The grass is green and the birds are singing, it is March again.
Yunhua changed into a thin shirt, and students from all over the country arrived in the capital one after another.
During this period, the entire court was troubled by Yunhua and a few other guys, and it seemed as if it had lost its energy and spirit.
They used to be eager to attend court, but now they are terrified when they have to see Princess Yong'an every day.
Yunhua had just come home from court and was sitting in the carriage when he heard shouting from both sides of the street.
"Hurry, hurry, bet on the first place, bet on the first place, who will be the new top scholar this year? Everyone, come and place your bets!"
"I'm betting on Yun Qingmo, the eldest son of the Yun family!"
"I'll bet on him too!"
Everyone was talking about Princess Yong'an's elder brother, who was very talented and famous since childhood. Not only was he taught by the Prime Minister himself, but he was also supervised by the Marquis of the Cui family. Basically everyone was watching over him.
"Not only that, I heard rumors that the Yun family's ancestors once gave him special treatment."
"Really?" Someone immediately changed his bet.
"By the way, I heard that Cui Jingchu, the eldest son of the Cui family, is also taking the imperial examination this time. The first place winner is the princess's brother, so the second place is most likely to be him."
"I'm betting on him! Cui Jingchu is second."
Once someone starts betting, others will follow.
Yunhua rolled her eyes. She already knew the result of the exam, so she didn't bet on her elder brother.
After returning to the Yun Mansion, she disguised herself and sneaked out through the side door.
[You two should keep quiet for a while. If the people knew it was me who placed the bet, they would definitely buy the same as me!]
[Xiao Huahua, don't worry, I'm keeping my mouth shut!] The Book of Life and Death made a hushed gesture, indicating that he understood.
[Bibi remained silent. This was a matter of utmost importance to Xiao Jinzi.]
"I'm going to bet on Zheng Bingzhi as the second-place winner and Cui Jingchu as the third-place winner."
Her cousin was as knowledgeable as her elder brother, but he had a good appearance, so he was directly selected as the third place winner.
Everyone was stunned, "Young Master, did you bet on the wrong thing?"
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the second place basically belongs to Cui Jingchu. Although Zheng Bingzhi's name is mentioned in the list and he is said to be from a small place and has some knowledge, he can't be ranked second!
Yun Hua pinched her throat and stubbornly pressed the small gold coins under the two people's names, "It's them, five thousand taels each!"
She wanted to bet more, but was afraid that her boss would not have the money to pay her in the end.
Seeing Yunhua's generosity, the boss smiled and agreed, "Young Master, you are straightforward. You can't withdraw this bet."
He put the money into his pocket without hesitation. The man was stupid and had a lot of money. How could he refuse the money given to him for free? The total amount was about 10,000 taels.
Make money!
Yun Hua left proudly, and Nangong Yuan immediately sent people to place bets as well.
The boss is so happy, there are so many fools this year!
Yunhua was walking on the street and eating. Under an old locust tree not far away, a fortune-telling stall attracted Yunhua and she walked towards it.
"If you're passing by, don't miss me. I'm Jia Tiezui. My words can determine your future, and I've never failed in fortune-telling!"
"Sir, I see you're a student taking exams this year. You're surrounded by red energy, which seems like a happy event. Unfortunately, the red is tinged with black, so I'm afraid you're missing out..."
"Don't worry, young man. I have a talisman here. Wear it every day and I guarantee you'll make the list. It's not expensive, just fifty taels."
Yunhua:......
