Both father and mother are willing to give him the position of crown prince, which is enough to prove their sincere feelings for him!

Why should he be troubled by unnecessary worries?

If you really want to repay your father and mother for bringing you up, then... you should study hard, strive to pass the imperial examination, enter the official career directly, and seek the emperor's favor!

He wanted to win a title comparable to that of the Crown Prince of Prince Duan's Mansion for his father and mother's future child!

Gu Qinlan didn't know that at this moment, a fire of struggle seemed to be burning in the heart of little Zheng Fenghui.

She only saw Zheng Fenghui's eyes become firm, no longer confused, and a smile of relief involuntarily appeared at the corners of his mouth.

Three days passed by like a flash!

At this moment, everyone in the capital has gone to Taibai Tower to place their bets.

However, the odds of those bets are jaw-dropping.

Gu Qinlan naturally also learned about Jiang Dingyi's news and couldn't help but laugh:

"Jiang Dingyi seems to trust those kids more than I do. Isn't he afraid of losing everything?"

Xiang Zhu was combing Gu Qinlan's hair. Hearing this, she couldn't help but chuckle:

"How could we lose? I also secretly asked Jiang Dingyi to buy our young masters' victory! If they lose, I will burst into tears!"

Hearing this, Gu Qinlan couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth and asked with a bit of joking: "How much did you invest?"

Xiang Zhu coughed lightly, looking a little embarrassed, but under Gu Qinlan's curious eyes, he finally scratched his head and said in a naive way:

“I put all my savings on it!”

After hearing this, Gu Qinlan couldn't help but take a breath, stood up with a little surprise, turned around and pinched Xiang Zhu's cheek, and said with a hint of helplessness, "When did you become so bold?"

Xiang Zhu cried out "Ouch" softly, took a half step back, covered his cheeks with his hands, and looked at Gu Qinlan with a pitiful look in his eyes:

"I am not very courageous, but you are very courageous! Didn't you believe in Jiang Dingyi's talent and even bet that he could make Taibailou's business flourish in just one month?"

"I thought, since the young lady trusts him so much, he must be a cash cow that can bring in wealth! Therefore..."

Therefore, Xiang Zhu did not simply believe in Jiang Dingyi, nor did she blindly trust Zheng Fengyun and others. What she truly trusted was Gu Qinlan's insight.

Her eldest daughter was wise and brave, and since she dared to place the bet, she must have been sure of it. Therefore, the more the outside world belittled the second young master and his people, the more Xiang Zhu felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime business opportunity!

After listening to Xiang Zhu's explanation, Gu Qinlan couldn't help but laugh and cry.

At this time, the eyebag couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said in an unfathomable manner:

"Even if Jiang Dingyi is a treasure trove, this time the Second Young Master and his men are competing with the masters of the Imperial Academy! Can they win... Can Jiang Dingyi predict the future? If he loses, your dowry money, alas, will be wasted!"

After hearing this, Xiang Zhu couldn't help but look a little flustered, but when she saw that Gu Qinlan was still calm, she regained her composure.

The eldest lady is not impatient or anxious, so why should she panic?

So Xiang Zhu glared at Wocan and retorted in a neither humble nor arrogant manner:

"What about you? You talk as if you didn't place a bet yourself."

Wocan raised his eyebrows, hugged his sword tightly, looked up and said proudly:

"My approach is different from yours. I only took out half of my savings. If I win, I can make a lot of money. If I lose, it will be a glory for the young masters."

sly!

Gu Qinlan looked at the two people arguing and couldn't help laughing. The atmosphere instantly became relaxed and pleasant.

At this time, the Imperial College was bustling with noise and noise.

Today, the students of the Imperial College seemed to have given up the idea of ​​taking a vacation and flocked to the square in the center of the campus. The crowds were huge and bustling, and the scene was very lively!

In this noisy crowd, Meng Yu was standing with Yuan Jinbin and two other young students. These two students were about the same age as Yuan Jinbin.

One of them was named Li En, the second son of the Imperial Censor, and the other was named Qi Zheng, the son of the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture. These two had close ties with Yuan Jinbin, and were both outstanding in talent and learning, often ranking among the top in the Imperial College exams, so they were determined to win this contest.

However, Yuan Jinbin kept looking around in the crowd, as if he was looking for Zheng Fengyun and others. Li En and Qi Zheng saw this and mistakenly thought that he was worried, so they spoke to comfort him:

"Brother Yuan, don't worry. With Brother Qi and I helping you today, we will definitely win this competition."

"Indeed! Whether it is Zheng Fengyun or Dou Qianqian, they are just a group of spoiled rich kids, plus a young girl. How can they be compared with us?" Qi Zheng echoed and said with disdain.

Meng Yu, who was standing beside them, nodded slightly after hearing this and reminded them seriously:

"Qi Zheng and Li En are absolutely right. Jin Bin, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to show your talents in front of His Majesty! If you can win, you will not only be able to avenge your previous defeat, but you will also be more likely to gain His Majesty's favor! You must go all out!"

When Yuan Jinbin, Qi Zheng and Li En heard this, their eyes flashed with excitement! It was undoubtedly a great honor to ask for a gift from the emperor!

although……

Qi Zheng and Li En knew that their family backgrounds were far inferior to Yuan Jinbin's, and that the opportunity to seek the gift would most likely fall to Yuan Jinbin. However...

What does that matter?

Even if the greatest grace falls on Yuan Jinbin, as long as the three of them can perform well, they can also leave a deep impression in front of the emperor, which will also be of great help to their future career development!

After listening to everyone's words, Yuan Jinbin finally retracted his wandering gaze, nodded firmly and promised:

"Please rest assured, sir. We will never disappoint you! We will make sure that they can see that the Imperial College is a sacred place for students all over the world, and it is not just a reputation!"

At this moment, suddenly, the sounds of gongs, drums and suona rang out in unison, deafening!

Everyone present was stunned involuntarily and subconsciously looked in the direction where the sound came from.

At this time, outside the gate of the ancient Imperial College, a team dressed in bright red robes, like a dazzling light, marched towards the square of the Imperial College with music and drums.

The trumpeters in this team have resolute expressions, and wherever their gazes go, people can't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

These people were exactly the ones that Dongfang Hongye had requested from General Dongfang. They were the retired soldiers who had fought on the battlefields and were strong and brave!

In preparation for this grand event, Dongfang Hongye practiced painstakingly for two days and two nights in the general's mansion.

At this moment, she looked at this spectacular scene, her heart filled with satisfaction and pride.

The soldiers of Dongfang Mansion had never imagined that they, who once wore armor and were extremely brave, would now have to change into festive red clothes and revel with their young lady.
