How I Became the Emperor - Chapter 289

[289. Chapter 289 Hey, why did the hydrangea run into my arms?]

After a while, Lu Gan stood on the top cornice of a teahouse.

There is a bright starry sky above the head, and the missing moon hangs in the sky, casting a bright and clear light.

The cold wind blows on the spring night, making people feel a little bit cold.

In the middle of Zhuque Street ahead, a tall building was hung with lanterns, making the surrounding area look as bright as day.

At this time, red cloth had been wrapped around the high-rise building, leaving a large area vacant.

Outside the red cloth, there were crowds of scholars, rich men, swordsmen, butchers, official ladies… and even girls from flower houses who came to join in the fun.

Many people in the crowd were impatient and clamored to catch the embroidery balls, but were blocked by the city patrol officer.

“Here you go!”

Zhao Mingyue jumped over, landed next to Lu Gan, and handed over a paper bag of black melon seeds.

“Okay.”

Lu Gan took it, sat down, and stared at the third floor of the embroidery building.

The two began to nibble on melon seeds, waiting for the show to begin.

when!

The sound of a gong resounded through the long street.

The closed wooden door on the third floor opened, and several beautiful girls in brocade clothes walked out with gentle steps, lined up on the left and right.

One of the maids in blue came to the railing and said in a clear voice: “Everyone, today is a happy day for me, Princess Lingkui of Nuzhou, to throw an hydrangea ball to choose a good son-in-law. Which young master can catch the hydrangea ball thrown by my princess? They will be married immediately and will become the princess’s son-in-law. They will be sent to the palace to be married on the spot. Princess Lingkui is invited below. “

Hearing this, everyone immediately turned their attention to the third floor.

Under the gaze of everyone, a young woman wearing a turquoise blue palace dress slowly walked out.

But seeing her beautiful face, elegant temperament, and a pair of watery eyes that seemed to reflect two bright moons, she was gentle and moving.

The moonlight shines on her Shengxue skin, which is as crystal clear as jade and seems to be glowing.

“As the rumors say, this Princess of Yunze Kingdom is very beautiful, as beautiful as water. What do you think, Lu Gan?”

Zhao Mingyue bumped Lu Gan’s shoulder with her hand.

“It’s indeed pretty.”

Lu Gan narrowed his pupils into a vertical line and nodded lightly: “However, in my eyes, both Youxue and you are three thousand times more beautiful than her.”

“Hehe, just based on your words, I’ll give you this bag of melon seeds.”

Zhao Mingyue smiled and put the melon seeds in Lu Qian’s hand happily.

At this time, Princess Lingkui bowed slightly and said in a beady voice: “Little girl Lingkui, thank you all for your support.”

The voice spread very clearly and was pleasant to the ear.

After finishing her words, the maid in green clothes next to her took a step forward and said: “Young masters, although it is said that Hydrangea is choosing a husband tonight, the princess does not want to choose a mediocre person who is as timid as a mouse as her husband. Therefore, you want to It takes a lot of effort to pick up the embroidery balls at the entrance.”

As he spoke, a guard walked out of the embroidery building and walked around the open space in front of the embroidery building holding a sign.

Everyone looked through the lights and found three conditions listed above.

Wusheng, scholar, Xiaofu.

Suddenly, there was a cheer and commotion among the crowd. I thought it would be harsh, but I didn’t expect it to be so simple.

Dang Dang Dang!

Three gongs sounded, and the guards began to let people in.

After waiting for almost half an hour, the large area in front of the embroidery building was instantly crowded with men, both young and old.

“Hey, my Eighth Emperor brother actually came to join in the fun and brought ten palace guards with him. What a shame!”

Zhao Mingyue glanced at the crowd and couldn’t help but be surprised.

Hearing this, Lu Qian followed her eyes and found a handsome young man wearing white clothes and shaking a jade fan.

It was none other than the Eighth Prince Zhao Ya.

Behind Zhao Ya is the Chaoyang lineage among the Xuanhuang Seven Lineages, as well as the support of aristocratic families from the three states in Jiangbei. Their power is only slightly weaker than that of the fifth prince Zhao Lin.

“Lu Gan, why don’t you go and grab it? This is the princess!”

Zhao Mingyue touched Lu Gan’s shoulder, and there seemed to be a different meaning in her smiling eyes.

“It’s not worth it.”

Lu Qian shook his head, just narrowed his eyes and spit out three words.

This is the princess of Yunze Kingdom! Marry her and go home. What if one day she thinks of the hatred between the family and the country and secretly plots to poison her?

Only a fool would marry!

Lu Gan’s eyes were like arrows, staring at the red cloth iron plate held by a maid on the third floor of the embroidery building.

The Dragon Balls…are there.

That should be the hydrangea!

“It’s weird! The dragon beads are actually placed in the hydrangea?”

Lu Gan frowned and realized that something was wrong.

At this time, the maid in green clothes said: “The auspicious time has come! Come, light some incense!”

After her voice fell, a girl brought the incense burner and placed it on the table next to her.

The maid in green said in a clear voice: “When the stick of incense is burned, whoever has the hydrangea in his hand will be the best husband for the princess. In addition, my princess has prepared a dowry, totaling thirty thousand taels of gold, pearls and gems.” A box, a box of jade jewelry, and over a hundred maidservants, as well as martial arts secrets, earth-level elixirs, etc. Everyone, you can prepare.”

The maid in green fell down, and the whole long street immediately became excited.

The eyes of all the men in the field were shining with excitement, and they were gearing up to catch the ball.

Under the gaze of everyone, the maid held the hydrangea in front of Princess Lingkui.

Princess Lingkui opened the red cloth and held up the hydrangea holding the red damask brocade. Her watery eyes began to look at the crowd, seeming a little hesitant.

When everyone in the field saw it, they immediately started shouting and shouted:

“Princess, throw it this way! Although I, Li, am a pig butcher, I will definitely have no problem letting you eat meat every day!”

“Don’t believe him! Princess, Throw it at me and I will sell you cakes to support you!”

“What a beautiful princess with hibiscus blooming from clear water and beautiful scenery tonight. I wonder if the princess is willing to be with Xiaosheng, oh, who can kick my ass?

” ! Who dares to snatch the princess from Pindao? Pindao will fight him forever! “

…

There was a commotion in the place, and all kinds of ghosts and monsters came out, making Zhao Mingyue giggle and tremble.

At this time, Lingkui, who was on the third floor of the embroidery building, waved her hand, and the hydrangea flew out and threw it towards the crowd.

That astonishing speed was like a cannonball being fired!

Um? !

Lu Qian’s face changed slightly.

This hydrangea weighs at least 13,500 kilograms!

The moment the hydrangea was released, someone had already spotted the opportunity and took action first!

“Haha, the hydrangea is mine.”

With a burst of laughter, a big man in black in the crowd jumped up and grabbed the hydrangea hard like a tiger attacking the moon.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the person flew into the air, he was hit by the hydrangea.

As if being hit by a stone weighing ten thousand kilograms, the man shuddered, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and crashed to the ground.

“Wow! This is not a wedding hydrangea. It’s clearly a murder hydrangea! Run!”

Someone screamed when they saw this scene.

Suddenly, a bunch of scholars dispersed, and almost half of the people in the field were missing.

“It’s just a thousand catties of hydrangea! Look at the poor monk’s thunderous hand!”

At this moment, a thunderous roar sounded, and a bald head emerged from the crowd, as fast as lightning, and his big hands were like sunflower fans, grabbing the hydrangea that was about to fall to the ground. .

“You damn bald donkey, how dare you snatch the princess from a poor Taoist? Look at the whisk!”

The old Taoist priest in black and white robes flashed in the crowd, like a slippery little fish, and suddenly rushed to the side of the hydrangea, with the whisk in his hand like a white snake, Curl to the hydrangea.

boom!

With a strong impact, the hydrangea was severely knocked into the air and shot out diagonally.

“Hahaha! It’s better to come early than to come by chance! This hydrangea belongs to me, Luo Wanxing, the flying hero in the clouds!”

Suddenly, a snow-white figure flew out of a restaurant in the distance, stepping on the heads of the onlookers, trying to grab the hydrangea. .

Unexpectedly, before he flew into the field, a hand suddenly stretched out, grabbed his leg and slammed it on the ground.

There was a loud bang.

Luo Wanxing smashed a human figure on the ground.

The person who took action was a domineering lady: “Humph! I don’t know whether to live or die, and I even dare to step on my hair that I just had done!”

Suddenly, farce broke out.

The hydrangea was hit, snatched, and shot back and forth in the sky by numerous Gang Qi realm warriors.

It feels like playing volleyball.

As a stick of incense burned rapidly in the incense burner, more and more people took action. A loud sound exploded in the field, strong winds blew up, and the long street was shattered.

The red stripes on the hydrangea also exploded, revealing its true body, which was a stone egg as big as a fist.

Every time the stone egg flies out, the speed is astonishing, comparable to the attacks of seventy or eighty apertures in the Gang Qi Realm.

The terrifying power scared the people who were joining in the fun to stay away and not dare to get close at all.

The number of warriors competing for the ball gradually decreased.

“Take action!”

In the middle of the field, the eighth prince Zhao Ya glanced at the long incense that was about to burn out and snorted an order.

In an instant, the ten guards around him shot out at the same time, knocking them away from the fighting warriors in the sky.

In the midst of this electric light and flint, a sneer appeared on the corner of Zhao Ya’s mouth. Thinking of the moist bodies of Princess Yunze and the imperial concubine, he suddenly leaped into the sky more than six feet high.

His big hands were like holding a bird, and he gently picked up the stone egg in his hand.

Before the pride could appear on his face, a blue electric light suddenly flashed from the surface of the stone egg and hit his hand.

“Ah!”

With a cry of pain, Zhao Ya threw the hydrangea away with force.

Under the gaze of everyone, the hydrangea flew out in a perfect arc, swept sixty feet across, and landed in the arms of a handsome man eating melon seeds on the eaves of the roof.

The incense burned out.

Outside the crowd, Fang Youxue, who had a face as cold as frost, crossed her arms and crossed her chest, her eyes cold.
