Not only did he save the royal family's face, but Huangfu Qingming, who had been maliciously ridiculed by the public for being a cuckold, looked much better for a while.
He personally went to the Eastern Wasteland to find Princess Lanchu. In addition to bringing the princess back, he also wanted to kill the rumored adulterer.
But Princess Lanchu was alone at that time, and the rumors were self-defeating.
Now she is explaining it in front of the whole world, which is equivalent to helping him save his face and making his previous bad mood disappear.
From the looks of it, Ji Lanchu must have decided to marry him!
She had just received a lot of good fortune in the Secret Land of Ten Thousand Dragons. After marrying him, that good fortune would be his Huangfu Qingming's. Thinking of this, he felt even happier.
"Because of my willfulness, rumors spread everywhere and Huangfu Qingming was ridiculed for nothing. I am here to express my apology to him."
At this time, through the Shuijing Stone, people all over the world saw Huangfu Qingming shaking his head gracefully, saying that he didn't care at all.
"But, Mr. Huangfu, before the wedding, Lan Chu has one more wish. I wonder if you are willing to help me realize it?"
Ji Lanchu pursed her lips and said.
"What else do you wish for, Your Highness the Princess?"
At this time, Huangfu Qingming was in full view of everyone, showing his dignity and elegance.
"As I said before, Lan Chu hopes that her future husband will really like me and be willing to do anything for me."
"If he marries me easily, Lan Chu will inevitably worry that he will not cherish me in the future."
Ji Lanchu was born with such beauty and beauty, and yet she said such words, I really feel pity for her.
"Your Highness Princess, you are serious. I promise to protect you for the rest of my life."
Huangfu Qingming said seriously.
"It's always easier said than done," she responded.
"That's right! If you want to marry our princess, even the proud emperor Qingming won't be able to do so easily!"
In Luoyang City, the man said excitedly.
"The princess is still young and has illusions about love. She must be hoping to have unforgettable memories before marriage, right?"
Girls of the same age as Princess Lanchu were full of sympathy for her, thinking that she must not want to become a victim of political marriage.
"Then what does Her Majesty the Princess want me to do?"
Huangfu Qingming noticed something was wrong at this time, but Princess Lanchu spoke like this in front of everyone in the world, and it would be impossible if he didn't express it.
"I want to... compete in martial arts to find a bride!"
Princess Lanchu seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then said, her voice spread loudly.
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Yang Hong's face changed, and Huangfu Wuji in the square frowned tightly!
"I hope that my husband will be a strong man who can stand up to the heaven and earth. He can pass five levels and defeat six generals, defeat all competitors, and come to marry me under the eyes of everyone, riding on colorful auspicious clouds!"
"Contest for marriage across the continent! If you are willing, give me such a romance!"
Princess Lanchu looked in the direction of Huangfu Qingming. He thought she was looking at him, but in fact her eyes fell on the young man in a white robe in the corner.
Huangfu Qingming's expression became frivolous. In front of the whole world, the princess said this to him. If he refused, wouldn't it mean that he was timid?
As a recognized genius in Kyushu, he has been blessed with good luck since he was a child. He thinks that no one of his age can compare with him.
Although it would be troublesome to recruit a bride through a martial arts competition, it would prolong his wedding with the princess, but how could he be afraid of any competitors?
Since she wants a romance, what if you give her a romance?
"Okay, I agree to the princess's request! There will be a competition in the whole continent to recruit a bride! Anyone of the same age can come. I, Huangfu Qingming, will definitely defeat everyone and marry you openly and honestly!"
Huangfu Qingming said with great arrogance. As soon as his words fell, the whole city of Luoyang was boiling.
Not only Luoyang City, but all major cities in Kyushu are also excited at this time, excited for this upcoming contest to recruit a bride!
"Confused!"
Huangfu Wuji had a gloomy face and couldn't help cursing secretly.
It was supposed to be good, and he could marry Princess Lanchu the next day, but Qing Ming was provoked by the atmosphere and actually agreed to Princess Lanchu's request!
You must know that once you open your mouth in front of the whole world, it is too late to regret it!
Although he believed that his grandson would not lose to anyone of the same age, it would be bad if something changed during this period!
This matter may even affect his original plan!
"Princess Lanchu is really powerful. She used the power of the people in the world to make Huangfu Qingming unable to get off the tiger. This is how the competition for marriage was decided."
"In this case, even if the emperor wants to object, she can't do it. This is her own idea, or there is guidance from an expert..."
Jiang Yu, a sickly scholar, murmured. Although he was young, he seemed to have seen through everything. His eyes couldn't help but glance at Gu Chen, and he happened to see the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"No matter how good the strategy is, there must be someone of his own age who can defeat Huangfu Qingming. He is lucky."
He couldn't stop sighing.
Huangfu Qingming personally agreed to the martial arts competition, but in front of the whole world, when Emperor Yang Hong came to power again, he had no choice but to announce that the wedding would be postponed and changed to a martial arts competition.
To him, this was like a farce and was Lan's last struggle before her first marriage.
He quickly discussed with the officials and decided that all eligible males under the age of twenty-five can come to the imperial capital to participate in the martial arts competition. The competition will start on September 15th and will be held at the Imperial Arena.
As the quasi-consort, Huangfu Qingming only needs to appear in the finals.
This was a careful trick played by Emperor Yang Hong to prevent accidents as much as possible.
The Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony came to a dramatic end, and the martial arts tournament became the hottest topic among tens of millions of people in Luoyang now and in the next few weeks.
When everyone in the square was leaving, Gu Chen passed by Princess Lan Chu.
"Leave it to me next."
Gu Chen walked by and his voice entered Ji Lanchu's mind.
"I trust you."
Ji Lanchu no longer had the despair before, and said softly but firmly.
Gu Chen left the square, listening to the constant talk in the city about martial arts and marriage, and returned to Shen's Mansion with Shen Xudong.
"National Master, this junior will have to stay in the imperial capital for some time, so I'm afraid I will have to continue to disturb you."
Gu Chen said politely.
"Young Master Chen, there is no need to be polite. You can stay in my Shen Mansion as long as you want."
Shen Xudong smiled and looked at Gu Chen with a profound look.
After he left, Gu Chen returned to his residence, and Qinglin Killer God walked out of the shadows.
"A hero has a hard time being a beauty. Do you plan to participate in the martial arts competition to find a bride?"
he joked.
"This is not only for Lan Chu, but also for my revenge plan, and at the same time, it can also fulfill the Emperor's instructions."
Gu Chen said calmly.
"Oh? What are you going to do? It's not just as simple as defeating Huangfu Qingming, right?"
Qinglin Killer God was extremely curious. At this moment, Gu Chen had an unprecedented murderous aura.
"In this martial arts tournament, I will kill every step of the way until Huangfu Wuji's reputation is ruined!"
Gu Chen has a tiger in his heart and smells the rose carefully.
