The maid responded.
Huaiqing nodded slightly, then seemed to suddenly remember something and asked.
"That girl Lin'an seems to have been a little too quiet recently. Did she come today?"
The maid thought for a moment, then said, "The Second Princess has arrived, along with Princess Pingyang, and a man is accompanying her."
Huaiqing was not surprised to hear that Lin'an came with Princess Pingyang.
She knew that the two of them had a very good relationship, the kind that was inseparable.
But why did a man appear out of nowhere?
Huaiqing subconsciously frowned and said, "Man? What kind of man? Did that silly girl Lin'an get tricked again?"
In order to compete with Huaiqing, Lin'an is very fond of recruiting people.
Unfortunately, she is not smart enough and often ends up attracting scammers.
And every time this happened, Huaiqing would clean up her mess.
Huaiqing was also troubled by this.
The maid said, "It shouldn't be this time. The man is wearing Yunlu Academy uniform, and his behavior seems even closer to Princess Pingyang. I was in a hurry to report this, so I haven't paid much attention to it. How about I go and ask him?"
Huaiqing waved his hand and said, "Forget it. Since he's a student from Yunlu Academy, he's probably not a bad person. Pingyang isn't the brainless person like Lin'an. To dare to be intimate with this person in public, their relationship must be something special. This person is most likely her unknown fiancé, and he shouldn't have ulterior motives. I'll go and see for myself after the poetry gathering begins."
The marriage between Prince Yu's line and Yunlu Academy had previously caused some commotion in the capital.
Although most people didn't know which student the man was from Yunlu Academy, it didn't stop people from knowing about it.
"Yes, I understand." The maid replied.
Pingyang waved his hand and said, "Alright, go down and make the arrangements. We should have another half hour left. If the two teachers from the Imperial College and Yunlu Academy arrive, please let me know in advance."
Since it is a poetry gathering.
Anyone who participates will inevitably have to write poetry.
When someone writes poetry, naturally someone has to judge whether it is good or bad.[]
This time, Princess Huaiqing invited a scholar from the Imperial College and a scholar from Yunlu Academy to serve as judges.
The biggest event in the capital recently was Zhao Shou's entry into the imperial court.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that His Majesty intends to make greater use of Yunlu Academy.
Therefore, everyone is looking forward to the rivalry between Yunlu Academy and the Imperial College.
Therefore, the number of people attending the Huaiqing Poetry Festival this time was much greater than before.
Chapter 107 The Intent to Kill
Princess's Mansion.
After finally dealing with a bunch of childhood friends from Pingyang, Lu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
Those girls are really crazy.
On weekdays, they are all graceful and elegant outside, looking like ladies from wealthy families.
But who would have thought that their private boasting skills were more terrifying than the other.
I won't go into details.
If you want to know, you can check the chat records between your girlfriend and her besties.
All in all, it will definitely subvert your three perspectives.
Seeing Lu Xiao's lingering fear, Pingyang beside him smiled and said.
"Are you scared?"
Lu Xiao nodded: "Indeed."
Pingyang laughed and said, "Actually, they're just good at talking. If they really get into trouble, they're all more timid than the other."
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded behind the two of them.
"Pingyang?" "910"
The voice was a man's, and there seemed to be some surprise in his tone.
They both turned around at the same time and saw two men.
The two men were dressed in blue and purple respectively.
He looked young and polite, but his eyes concealed a deep evil and greed towards Pingyang.
Although the two disguised themselves well, they still couldn't hide from Lu Xiao's eyes.
"Pingyang, it's really you. You never attend poetry gatherings like this, so why are you here today?"
The man in blue on the left said this in a familiar tone, his voice sounding very intimate.
Lu Xiao turned his head and glanced at Pingyang, then asked, "Pingyang, who are these two?"
Without waiting for Pingyang to speak, the man introduced himself: "I am the legitimate son of the Earl of Pingyuan, and this is Zhang Yi, the son of the Minister of War. Are you the lucky girl from Yunlu Academy who is engaged to Pingyang?"
The eldest son of the Pingyuan Earl spoke in a very arrogant tone, with an air of superiority.
From the outside, the marriage between Prince Yu and Yunlu Academy was just a political deal.
Therefore, many people did not think that Princess Pingyang would truly like the student from Yunlu Academy to whom she was engaged.
After hearing the man's self-introduction, Lu Xiao's eyes suddenly flashed with murderous intent.
It turned out to be the two of them.
According to the original timeline, these two guys will soon force Pingyang to death.
This also explains why the two of them had such inexplicable malice and greed in their eyes when they saw Pingyang.
After all, among all the ladies from wealthy families in Dafeng Capital, Pingyang has always been the most beautiful.
There were definitely quite a few wicked young men from aristocratic families who secretly harbored malicious thoughts towards her.
It was her own simple mind that could not tell.
After hearing the arrogance in the tone of Pingyuan Earl's legitimate son, Lu Xiao spoke first without waiting for Pingyang to speak for him.
"Yes, I am the lucky one."
Then he turned his head to look at Pingyang, gently grasped her hand, and continued.
"Meeting you is definitely the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me."
Pingyang originally wanted to explain that she and Lu Xiao were truly in love.
As a result, Lu Xiao's actions made her blush.
Then she symbolically struggled a bit, and after realizing that the hand was holding her tightly, she blushed and whispered.
"Meeting you is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me."
One of the sweetest things in the world is not showing off your love, but watching others showing off their love.
At the same time, one of the cruelest things in the world is watching others show off their affection.
The interaction between the two immediately attracted the attention of countless people.
Her group of close friends all had gossipy eyes, sometimes whispering to each other, sometimes with auntie smiles on their faces.
As for the son of the Earl of Pingyuan and the son of the Minister of War, anger flashed in their eyes.
Provocation, this is definitely a provocation.
A mere poor student actually challenged the two of them.
It's really seeking death.
The two were about to explode, but then a familiar voice rang in their ears.
"Why are you two annoying guys here?"
As the voice fell, Lin'an suddenly appeared beside them, appearing out of nowhere. He then expertly picked up Pingyang's arm and snatched her away from Lu Xiao.
As soon as Lin'an appeared, everyone present began to bow.
"Meet Princess Lin'an!"
The two legitimate sons of the Earl of Pingyuan were naturally no exception.
However, Lin An said unhappily, "Wasn't the lesson I taught you two last time enough? You still dare to pester Pingyang. You're really asking for your own death."
Upon hearing this, the eldest son of the Marquis of Pingyuan immediately said, "Princess, please don't misunderstand me. We just came to say hello and we'll be leaving now."
After saying this, he left without looking back, taking the son of the Minister of War with him.
After the two left, Lin'an said to Pingyang
"Pingyang, I don't know how many times I've told you that the son of the Pingyuan Earl is definitely not a good person, and those who are with him are definitely bad guys. I told you to stay away from them, but you just won't listen."
Pingyang seemed to have gotten used to this matter a long time ago and smiled.
"My family and I are old friends, and his legitimate son and I grew up together. I know you've always been angry about him bullying you when you were little, but we were all young back then, so you don't need to remember it now. People change."
Lin An said angrily, "Humph, when he was a child, he dared to steal this princess's candy. Even if he has changed as he grew up, he must have become worse. I just don't like him. You said you believe me or him."
Don't mention it, although Lin An seems to be fooling around, her intuition is rare.
"I believe you, I believe you." Pingyang coaxed Lin'an like a child.
Lin'an's complexion improved.
Lu Xiao didn't directly say anything bad about the son of the Marquis of Pingyuan.
After all, he had just met the eldest son of the Pingyuan Earl for the first time. If he directly criticized his character, others would think he was narrow-minded.
However, now that we have encountered it, we can't just let it go.
He had already made up his mind that he must find an opportunity to secretly kill those two guys.
Otherwise he would feel uneasy.
At this time, Pingyang began to change the subject: "Lin'an, didn't you just say you were going to scout the enemy? How is the investigation going?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Lin An's attention was diverted to 2.3.
Lin'an immediately said, "Huaiqing has invited quite a few talented people this time. In addition to students from the Imperial College, there are also many students from the Yunlu Academy. Many of them are quite famous in the capital. Stupid scholar, can you do it alone?"
Lu Xiao laughed and said, "How about I leave?"
Lin'an said viciously, "How dare you? You promised to help me today. If you dare to run, I will kidnap your Pingyang and you won't be able to see her again until we get married."
"Then how do you want me to help you?" Lu Xiao said with a helpless smile.
He had no doubt that Lin'an could do such a thing.
Lin An said, "Of course, it's to defeat everyone and win the title of champion of the poetry competition."
Lu Xiao asked, "You think highly of me?"
Lin'an said, "I believe Pingyang. Pingyang has always said you're very talented. Although I haven't seen her, I'm willing to believe her. Just tell me if it's okay."
Chapter 108 Students Gathered
Just as Lu Xiao and Lin An were about to start a fierce struggle,
In the crowd in the distance, two pairs of unfriendly eyes were staring at him intently.
Needless to say, the two eyes were from the legitimate son of the Earl of Pingyuan and the son of the Minister of War, Zhang Yi.
At this moment, the two of them huddled in the crowd, lowering their heads and whispering to each other, and no one knew what they were planning.
Lu Xiao naturally noticed the gazes they both gave him.
But he didn't care.
Don't look at the two of them even though they have some power.
But after all, they are just ordinary people who have not yet entered the path of cultivation.
In the face of absolute strength, no matter what conspiracy they were planning, it would be impossible to succeed.
And Lu Xiao has already made his decision.
After the poetry reading was over, he would find an opportunity to secretly kill these two guys.
