"Why, are you worried that Nihuang will snatch me away?"
Gong Yu really felt this guilty and worried.
Having been with Lu Xiao for many years, she knew how important Nihuang was to him.
So she immediately said: "Master, I don't need it"
Lu Xiao interrupted her and hugged her gently.
"Don't worry. I promised you I'd be responsible, and I won't break my promise. But I want Nihuang too. Emperor Liang is planning a public martial arts competition to find a bride. I think the announcement will be made to the world soon. I'm sure the other kingdoms will send people to participate. I want to see his expression when Nihuang is finally married off by a commoner."
Emperor Liang's calculations were very loud.
He wanted to marry Nihuang off and also wanted to use this opportunity to find an ally among the other nations.
It can be said that he alone wants to take advantage of all the advantages in the world.
There is no such good thing in this world.
Who says that a married woman must stay at home to take care of her husband and children?
The idea of a woman following her husband after marriage doesn't work for Lu Xiao.
So he would definitely not let Emperor Liang get his wish.
After receiving the confirmation of the guarantor's love, Gong Yuxin finally felt completely at ease.
For the next few days, Lu Xiao stayed at Gong Yu's place.
At the same time, he also sent a message to Mei Changsu, telling him where he lived.
Just as he had said to Gong Yu, a few days later Emperor Liang indeed announced to the world that he would openly select a husband for Nihuang.
The imperial edict also stated that any suitor of suitable age and appearance could participate in the martial arts test, and ten would be selected to compete with Princess Nihuang to determine the final winner.
When this news came out, the whole world was shocked.
At the same time, diplomatic missions from surrounding countries had also arrived in Jinling.
It can be seen that Emperor Liang had already discussed this matter with other states in advance.
As a result, Jinling City suddenly became much more lively.
There aren't many entertainment activities these days.
The public martial arts competition to find a bride was enough to attract the attention of all the people in Jinling.
Time passed quickly, and after a few days, the martial arts competition to win a bride officially began.
In the Xuelu Courtyard of the Ningguo Marquis's Mansion, a group of people were chatting and chatting, while Mei Changsu and Xiao Jingrui were dressing up.
"Come on Feiliu, change it, this one doesn't look good."
At this moment, Yan Yujin rushed in angrily from outside.
"Okay, you guys, I've been waiting for you outside the palace gate until my feet are sore, and you're here dressing up."
Xiao Jingrui immediately stood up and explained, "Today is the first day of the martial arts examination. The Emperor will be personally present at Yingfeng Tower. If you go early, you'll just be kowtowed and saluted. What's the point?"
Mei Changsu also said, "There's nothing interesting to see on this first day. We can just go after noon."
Mei Changsu hadn't been feeling very comfortable staying at the Ningguo Marquis' Mansion these past few days, because his identity as Su Zhe had been exposed on the third day of his arrival.
Although this was intentional on his part.
But the troubles caused by this still gave him a headache, and he had to think of ways to scheme against Prince Yu and Xie Yu every day.
Just yesterday, the Queen came to the Ningguo Marquis's Mansion in person, saying she wanted to see him.
The Queen is Prince Yu's adoptive mother, so she came to Xie Mansion to recruit Mei Changsu for Prince Yu.
Fortunately, Xiao Jingrui was very righteous and helped him to avoid this big trouble.
But then again, Xie Yu is a very shady person. On the surface, he let his second son befriend Prince Yu, but secretly he himself defected to the Crown Prince.
People say that even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, but he was willing to use his own son to find out Prince Yu's movements. How cruel!
I don't know if his second son will be able to withstand the blow if the news of him being a princeling is exposed.
After hearing what the two of them said, Yan Yujin slowly calmed down, and then he asked.
"By the way, didn't Brother Lu say he was going to see the Three Wonders of Jinling? All three of my families have been there in the past few days, but there's no trace of him at all."
Yan Yujin was also a person obsessed with music, so after hearing that Lu Xiao had the same hobby, he immediately took him in as a close friend.
Unfortunately, in the past few days, he had been to both Miaoyinfang and Yangliuxin, and even Hongxiuzhao.
But he never saw Lu Xiao.
That's why he asked this question.
Mei Changsu smiled after hearing this and said, "Of course you can't see him. He's been having a great time these days."
Gong Yu had to give Mei Changsu a heads-up about leaving Miaoyinfang.[]
So Mei Changsu actually knew that Lu Xiao had taken Gong Yu in.
Although he was very surprised as to why Lu Xiao suddenly made this decision, since his friend had already made it, he certainly would not stop him.
Yan Yujin became even more curious.
"Oh, is there a better place in Jinling? How come I don't know about it?"
Mei Changsu smiled and said, "Okay, you can go ask him in person later. With his 2.0 personality, he will definitely go to Yingfeng Tower today."
When Yan Yujin heard this, he immediately became impatient and urged the two of them on.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go quickly. If we go too late, there won't be any good seats left."
Mei Changsu and Xiao Jingrui both smiled helplessly.
In the end, Yan Yujin half-pushed and half-pulled me out the door.
Yingfeng Tower was right at the entrance to the Imperial Palace, and at this moment, the area below was filled with people watching the excitement.
As for the upstairs, it is a stand specially prepared for dignitaries.
Fortunately, both Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin have high status in Jinling.
So they had already reserved a table upstairs.
Half an hour later, the four arrived at Yingfeng Tower, and someone from the palace immediately led them to their own stand.
But after sitting down, Yan Yujin began to look around for Lu Xiao's trace.
Chapter 310: Heartbreak in the City
Unfortunately, Yan Yujin searched for a long time but still couldn't find any trace of Lu Xiao.
So he asked Mei Changsu: "Brother Su, do you think Brother Lu will be blocked from entering?"
Yingfeng Tower is right next to the palace gate, with palace walls on three sides and only the south side open.
Ordinary people were not eligible to climb onto the palace walls to watch the VIP seats at the martial arts competition and could only gather outside the entrance and watch from afar.
Therefore, Yan Yujin was very worried that Lu Xiao would be stopped by someone.
However, Mei Changsu shook his head and said, "No, he has a way to get in."
If he doesn't even have this little trick, then he doesn't know that Lu Xiao.
At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the distance.
A carriage was approaching slowly from the side of the street in the distance. When someone saw the carriage, they immediately shouted.
"Is that Miss Gong Yu's carriage?"
"What? Miss Gong Yu is here?"
In Jinling City, Gong Yu is very famous.
No one dared to treat her as an ordinary brothel girl.
Most people consider him to be a great qin master of the time.
The purpose of performing in Miaoyinfang is simply to show off my piano skills.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have set up such a unique rule.
The word "everyone" is not something you can be given lightly.
Anyone with these two characters, no matter what field they are in, will have a high social status and many people will want to make friends with them.
So when Gong Yu's carriage appeared in front of Yingfeng Tower, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Even the martial arts competition to win a bride seemed less appealing at this moment.
After all, today was only the first day of the martial arts competition, and there were very few experts on the stage.
The chances of meeting Gong Yu in person are indeed rare.
When Gong Yu's name appeared, Yan Yujin, who loved music, was naturally attracted to her.
The carriage slowly came to the Yingfeng Tower and stopped.
Then the four maids, Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju, emerged from the carriage first.
After seeing these four of them, the people around them were stunned for a moment, and then became confused.
"Hey, it's not Miss Gong Yu. That's not right. This is indeed Miss Gong Yu's carriage, right?"
These four girls usually secretly protected Gong Yu, so the people in Jinling City were unaware of this.
Just when everyone was puzzled, Gong Yu emerged from the carriage.
The moment she appeared, there were sounds of people gasping for air all around her.
But at this moment, Gong Yu got off the carriage and did not walk forward directly, but turned around and waited quietly.
Then the carriage curtain was lifted again from the inside, and Lu Xiao's figure slowly appeared before everyone's eyes.
The moment he appeared, everyone who knew Gong Yu was stunned.
"who is he?"
"Why is there a man in Miss Gong Yu's carriage?"
"Am I hallucinating? Could it be that Miss Gong Yu is already taken?"
At this moment, Lu Xiao seemed to hear the heartbreaking voices of countless people.
On the city wall, Yan Yujin's mouth opened wide at this moment, and he pointed at Lu Xiao below with a look of disbelief.
"Lu, Lu, Brother Lu?"
He was really frightened.
He never expected that Lu Xiao would appear with Miss Gong Yu.
You know, in Jinling City, Miss Gong Yu has at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, suitors.
Most of them are children of aristocratic families.
But even so, no one has been able to catch Miss Gong Yu's eye over the years.
I've never heard of her being close to that man.
At this moment, when Gong Yu faced Lu Xiao, it was no longer a question of closeness or intimacy.
Because everyone watched helplessly as Gong Yu personally helped Lu Xiao off the carriage, then affectionately took Lu Xiao's arm and walked forward, her eyes never leaving Lu Xiao from beginning to end.
With eyes like this and behavior like this, even a fool wouldn't believe that the two of them were just ordinary friends.
Yan Yujin held his breath for a long time, and finally said four words in dissatisfaction.
"Why is Long Flow (Nine) Sanba Flow DX so powerful?"
Yes, why?
This question wasn't just on Yan Yujin's mind; it was shared by all the other noble family members present.
But at the same time, more people were curious about Lu Xiao's identity.
What they were certain of was that Lu Xiao was definitely not from Jinling.
At this time, Lu Xiao and his companions had already passed through the city gate and were heading towards the city wall.
Given Gong Yu's status in Jinling, naturally no one would stop her.
