Cui Geng was really a little excited at this time, but it was not because of the "love enemy" that he was favored, but because of the name "Lu Xuan".

The word "Xuan" is not common, it turns out that Cui Geng has always thought that the "Xuan" mentioned by Li Chongjun is a phonetic error of "Xuan". It is only now that he has combined this name with the historical records.

In the history books of later generations, only one thing was recorded about Lu Xuan.

During the Tianbao period, Li Longji set up a banquet to entertain the ministers in the Qinzheng Building, and after the banquet, the ministers were all gone, and Li Longji was still upstairs watching the street scene.

At this moment, a person rode a horse and galloped downstairs, his appearance, expression, and movements were all elegant and handsome.

Seeing this, Li Longji was very happy, so he asked the left and right people, "Who is this person?" ”

The left and right people waited: "Prince Zhan Shi Lu Xuan."

Li Longji sighed: "I can't imagine that there are such characters in my lobby!" ”

After this matter reached the ears of the treacherous minister Li Linfu, he took it to heart. He was afraid that Lu Xuan would threaten his position, so he sent someone to Lu Xuan's son to say, the emperor intends to send your father to Lingnan Province to serve, this place is a miasma land, and I am afraid that your father will not be able to come back if he goes.

Lu Xuan's son said, how can this be good?

Li Linfu's people gave him a good idea - pretending to be sick.

Lu Xuan's son thought it was a good idea and came back to tell his father. Sure enough, Lu Xuan was fooled and immediately went to the table, claiming that he was seriously ill.

Li Long basically wanted to promote him, and when he looked at the music, oh, it turned out to be a sick man, so forget it.

All in all, Lu Xuan is an unlucky guy who was easily fooled and lame by Li Linfu.

Cui Geng couldn't help but secretly wonder, if Cao Yuechan really followed Lu Xuan, an unlucky bastard, would it be a good thing? Outside the order, Lu Xuan's pursuit of Cao Yuechan this time was spontaneous? Could it be that it was instigated by some people?

"Eh, Erlang, were you stupid by Lu Xuan?" Seeing that Cui Geng was silent for a long time, Li Bao'er pulled his sleeve anxiously,

Cui Geng woke up and said, "Uh, it's nothing, I'll be afraid of him?" Princess, you underestimate your own officials. ”

Li Bao'er pursed her lips and said, "Don't die with a duck's hard mouth." Lu Xuan is handsome and strong in martial arts. In terms of women's popularity, I am much better than you. ”

That last sentence is a good one.

As Lu Xuan defeated his opponents one by one, the applause in the surrounding stands came and went. The loudest screams are the little ladies and old aunts in the stands.

In the end, in the cheers of everyone, Lu Xuanli really defeated various opponents and won the first place in this martial arts, that is, Wu Zhuangyuan.

What's even more glorious is that when Lu Xuan took all the martial artists to thank Wu Zetian, Her Majesty the Empress not only warmly encouraged him, but also personally wrote the words "No. 1 in the world" to reward him.

There was another thunderous cheer in the audience.

Her Majesty's interest was also very high, and she announced on the spot that the curfew in Luoyang would be lifted tonight.

In the past, the two capitals of Luoyang and Chang'an, only on the 14th day of the first month, the 15th day of the first month, and the 16th day of the first month, will the curfew be lifted and the people will be allowed to turn off the lights in Shangyuan.

As soon as Her Majesty the Empress gave this order, people were really overjoyed, and the voice of "Long live" resounded in the sky.

However, when it comes to Cui Geng, he is not so happy.

First, he carefully found that there were several envoys from Fanbang who looked disdainful after hearing Wu Zetian's order. Obviously, people think that the Great Zhou Wu champion Taishui has lost the identity of the Heavenly Empire. This shame has been thrown into a foreign country, and Cui Geng also feels disgraced.

Second, he looked in the direction of Lu Xuan's waving hand and found Cao Yuechan, Cao Tianjiao and Cao Hao. Cao Tianjiao has been looking forward to his daughter's marriage, and he just kept waving at Lu Xuan. But Cao Yuechan, why aren't you a girl at all? Wasn't it three days ago that Cao Hao said that you don't like him? Could it be that just because he won a martial champion, you changed your mind?

Of course, whether it is the attitude of the envoys of Fanbang or Cao Yuechan's thoughts, Cui Geng can't reverse it, and after he goes back, he looks depressed.

The daughters of the Cui family were not interested in martial arts, and they did not go to the military field outside Luoyang City today. Among them, Lu Ruolan, Qin Yuer and Wang Meifang teased the little guy at home, and Cui Xiufang was very bored and went to go shopping with Radami Zhu.

Lu Ruolan observed her words and said strangely: "Erlang, why is your face so ugly?" Who has offended you? ”

"Lu Xuanbei, the champion of today's science and martial arts." The curtain was raised, and Cui Xiufang walked in, followed by Radamizhu and the Russian secret service.

Lu Ruolanqi said: "Lu Xuan? I've never heard of this person, what the hell is going on? ”

Cui Xiufang snorted lightly and said, "Our husband, seeing that Cao Yuechan's sweetheart won the top prize, he was in the limelight, and he felt uncomfortable." ”

Cui Geng denied: "What? What is Cao Yuechan's sweetheart? This has nothing to do with the original eight characters. ”

Cui Xiufang said: "Oh? Don't have a word? Then why did the concubine still see that Cao Yuechan and Lu Xuan were shopping in Nanshi together? ”

Radami Zhu also nodded again and again, and said, "The concubine body has also seen it." Not only that, but that cheap~ person also took the initiative to greet me. ”

The Russian secret service echoed: "At that time, I went to find my sister-in-law, and I was at the scene." Didn't you see Cao Yuechan's pride...... Hmph, isn't it just hooking up with a martial champion? Looking at her like that, it seems like hooking up with the emperor. ”

If there is a stupid boy who testifies with the Russian secret service, then it can't be wrong. Now Cui Geng is almost 100% sure that Cao Yuechan is going to climb another high branch.

However, he still insisted on finding a reason and said: "Even if Cao Yuechanzhen and Lu Xuanzhen are doing, what does it have to do with me?" To tell you the truth, the reason why I'm not happy today is because we have lost a lot of money in Da Zhou......"

Then, Cui Geng talked about today's Feng Changqing's theory, and focused on depicting the disdainful expressions of several court envoys after hearing that Lu Xuan was the champion of martial arts.

For those who don't know, when they see this scene, I'm afraid they still think that Cui Qingtian is worried about the worries of the world first, and happy about the joy of the world after the world. But how could he hide his little emotions from the person next to him?

All the women looked skeptical.

Lu Ruolan was gentle and virtuous, unwilling to provoke, so she changed the topic and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this." Finally, Your Majesty has a will, tonight Jin Wu can't help it, where are we going? ”

Radami Zhu said: "In previous years, the Shangyuan Festival was lively because there were lanterns to see. Everyone is not prepared today, and I'm afraid it's not fun. ”

Cui Xiufang said: "Tonight the moon is sparse, even if there are not many lights, you can have fun." Perhaps, some literati love this tune. Also, if you only like places with a lot of lights, I know a good place to go. ”

"Where?"

"Peony Garden. The grandmother of Zhongshan reopened the peony garden, and many literati lived there. They often held night feasts and sang poems. Therefore, the lamps and lanterns in the peony garden are ready-made. A visit to the Peony Garden tonight will certainly not disappoint you. ”

As he spoke, Cui Xiufang secretly squeezed her eyes at Cui Geng, and insinuated that in the peony garden, he still had a widow like Gongsun Youniang.

Cui Geng was in a bad mood today, but he was not interested in traveling, and said: "Forget it, people have the same heart and mind, there must be many people visiting the peony garden tonight, and it is not interesting to go." Otherwise, let's get together as a family to enjoy the moon. ”

The Russian secret service was dissatisfied: "I said brother-in-law, this is your mistake." I finally came back to Luoyang and had the opportunity to visit the capital at night. You told me to watch the moon at home, is it right to have you treat guests like this? ”

Lu Ruolan also wanted Cui Geng to distract herself, and persuaded: "Didn't you worry about those Fanbang envoys just now?" Aren't you afraid that they will take the opportunity to stir up trouble? ”

It is said that the envoys of Fanbang provoke trouble, and it has to be a headache for the Luoyang Order or the Ministry of Rites, which has nothing to do with Cui Geng's Fengchen Order. However, who made him so worried about the country and the people just now?

was so squeezed by the Russian special service and Lu Ruolan, Cui Geng couldn't shirk it, and said, "Okay, then let's go to the peony garden tonight." That's right...... Bring Feng Changqing and them all, in case those Fanbang envoys really make trouble. ”

Cui Xiufang knew that Cui Geng had a good face, and she was still rounding up the lie of the worried envoy just now, and teased: "Okay, okay, Feng Changqing is the most powerful, my hidden mother is of no great use, and I can't keep your Lord Cui safe." ”

"......" Cui Geng's old face turned red and he didn't dare to take a stubble.

In the evening of the same day, after dinner, Cui Geng and his second wife and three concubines, with Feng Changqing and others, as well as twenty female soldiers from Fengchen Mansion, went straight to the peony garden.

Along the way, the tourists are weaving, rubbing shoulders, and crowded.

reported the name of Fengchen Ling Cui Geng, and after entering the peony garden, the flow of people was slightly scarce.

However, this rarity is also relatively speaking, especially in the "Fanghua Garden", where literati often gather, it is bustling and like a downtown area.

Suddenly, Cui Xiufang stretched out her hand and said, "Look...... People aren't lying, Cao Yuechan and Lu Xuan are there. ”
