Chapter 1937 Make a Bet

Master Lu San looked at Lu Jun for a while. When the carriage came to them, he told Lu Jun: "Let's do this. I'll ask your second brother about his opinion during the New Year. We'll talk about this after the New Year."

Lu Jun breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he didn't refuse, it would be fine.

The carriages of each family stopped in order, and then the people in the carriages got off and followed the palace maids to Baohe Hall.

Baohe Hall was where the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty entertained his ministers. Every festival or the birthday of the emperor and empress would be held in Baohe Hall.

Baohe Hall was very large. Only the families of officials above the second rank were invited to come, and it was not full.

After all the ministers came, the emperor and Empress Xue helped the Empress Dowager come over. The little prince was more than two years old, and the little guy followed Empress Xue, holding the corner of Empress Xue's clothes and walking together.

"Your Majesty..., Empress Dowager..., Your Highness the Prince..."

Everyone knelt down and bowed.

"Stand up!"

The emperor sat back in his seat after helping the Empress Dowager to sit down. After seeing Empress Xue and the young prince sitting down, he called everyone to stand up.

Generally, at this moment, the emperor was still very serious. With the princes and princesses of the West, he had to maintain the majesty of the emperor at all times.

After everyone sat down, the eunuch asked people to serve the dishes.

The emperor held the wine glass and said a few auspicious words. Then everyone raised their glasses and drank together, and then started to eat.

Not only was there delicious food, but also singing and dancing.

The sound of the piano was melodious and the dance was graceful. Many people ate and watched, especially Helian Yi, who couldn't take his eyes off the beautiful girls. He was enjoying the wine while admiring the beauties.

For example, Gu Xin was immune to beauties, so she started eating.

The food her sister made was delicious and novel, but the food in the palace was not bad, especially after Uncle Gu planted more types of vegetables in Kunzhou, which directly enriched the ingredients in the imperial kitchen.

Gu Xin and Gu Si were eating with gusto, while Gu Ren and Gu Yingxue sat together, enjoying the dance while eating.

"Sanniu, do you think I can go to the Royal Academy? I feel that besides writing storybooks, I can do many things!" Gu Ren pulled Gu Yingxue and asked.

"Gu Erdan, call me sister!" Gu Yingxue slapped him angrily, and then said, "I can't make the decision for you now. You have to ask your second uncle about this. However, I don't think your second uncle will agree."

"Hahaha, you don't understand this! Your second uncle will definitely agree!" Gu Ren laughed at Gu Yingxue and looked at her like a fool.

"Why?" Gu Yingxue was not angry either, and asked without shame.

She knew that Gu Nian and Gu Erdan were smarter than her, and she was dumber.

"Why? Because I have an older brother and a bunch of younger brothers. I don't need to occupy an important position in the court. Only Enzi can make the emperor and the ministers feel at ease. I can't be too outstanding, because others will worry if I am outstanding. The younger brothers below are not grown up yet. It's not too late to train the younger brothers after Enzi enters the officialdom. Therefore, I can't be too outstanding, or it will cause trouble to the family." Gu Ren analyzed to Gu Yingxue.

"Impossible? You are tortured by your second uncle to study all day long. You tell me that he doesn't want you to take the imperial examination? I don't believe it." Gu Yingxue shook her head.

"Why is it impossible?" Gu Ren rolled his eyes and smiled, "You don't believe it? How about we make a bet? In the first month of the year, I asked my second uncle if he would send me to the Royal Academy when I was old enough. He would definitely be willing."
