The next day.
After the competition ended yesterday, the results of the competition were spread.
After a day of brewing, the news spread throughout Chang 'an.
......
Vermilion Bird Street, Yaxin Restaurant.
Yaxin Restaurant was located in the most prosperous area of Vermilion Bird Avenue and was the largest restaurant in Chang 'an.
There were more than 300 three-story buildings with extremely luxurious decorations.
The first floor was for the common people and the rich to eat, but to go up to the second floor, one had to be a noble.
The private room on the third floor was a place where only the upper echelons could enjoy themselves.
At this moment, in the lobby on the first floor.
"Did you hear about the competition yesterday?”
"What competition?"
"You haven't heard of this? In order to choose a husband for Princess Changle, His Majesty had set up a civil and military competition. The contestants were all young masters of the upper class of Chang 'an City. Whoever won the first place in both competitions would be granted a marriage by His Majesty!”
"Sigh, it's a pity that such a good thing has nothing to do with us.”
"Is the result out yet? Who has been bestowed a marriage by His Majesty?"
"It's that Duke Lu's fourth son, Cheng Chu Yu!”
"Cheng Chuyu? That famous playboy? So many young masters of aristocratic families couldn't compare to a profligate young master? That's impossible!"
"Absolutely true! Now, it was almost spread throughout Chang 'an City!”
"According to the news I received, Cheng Chuyu was incredible yesterday. He went head to head with the young masters of the hundreds of aristocratic families and did not give in at all. In the theory examination, he displayed shocking talent in one go, suppressing all the young masters of the aristocratic families until they could not even raise their heads!”
"I heard that Cheng Chuyu's calligraphy was even inferior to the great calligrapher of the generation, Elder Yu. The content of his calligraphy even stunned the five examiners, and they exclaimed that Cheng Chuyu was a rare genius!”
"Is it that ridiculous?"
"Why not? I also heard that Cheng Chuyu's divine power was astonishing, and in the combat examination, he sent dozens of young masters from aristocratic families flying with a single move! He's so strong that it's unreasonable!"
"So powerful?"
"What's the big deal? Cheng Chuyu's feats were not limited to this. The eldest son of the Duke of Zhao, Zhangsun Chong, acted recklessly against him and was crushed by him with a single finger. He did not even have the chance to admit defeat and beg for mercy. In the end, he was carried down! It's too tragic!"
"The second son of the Duke of Chen is even more embarrassing! With just a glance from Cheng Chuyu, he was so scared that he peed and admitted defeat!”
"Hiss! How could such a powerful figure be a profligate young master?”
"Who knows? Even that group of profligate sons, Yuchi Baolin, and the others who were with him were ridiculously strong. Yesterday, those young masters from the aristocratic families were so miserable that they were crushed by these people until not even dregs were left!”
"Speaking of which, it's really unlucky. I originally thought that Zhangsun Chong would win and even bet 500 taels of silver on him, but now I've lost everything!”
"What's five hundred taels for you? I bought a thousand taels! It was hateful that Zhangsun Chong was so disappointing!”
......
Not only on the first floor, even the customers on the second floor were all talking about yesterday's competition.
However, the news came from various channels, and each version was different. In addition, some people wanted to show off their gossip, so they exaggerated the news.
By now, it had already formed an extremely exaggerated version. Some were real and some were fake, making it impossible for people to tell.
Zhangsun Chong used his cloak to cover his pig head, wanting to drink some wine to vent his anger from being humiliated by Cheng Chuyu.
However, as soon as he walked into his restaurant, he heard these extremely unpleasant words. His face turned even redder. Compared to a pig's head, he looked more like a pig's head.
If it wasn't for the fact that he only had a trace of rationality left, he would have already chased these people out of the restaurant.
He couldn't stay in this kind of environment any longer. Zhangsun Chong didn't have the mood to drink anymore and left the restaurant with a cold face.
......
Not only the Yaxin Restaurant, but also all the restaurants and markets in Chang 'an City, as long as there was a crowd, were discussing the competition yesterday.
Even those young ladies from noble families who were not married had heard about this matter. When they heard about Cheng Chu Yu's domineering behavior in the competition, many young ladies from noble families were moved. They sighed that they did not meet Cheng Chu Yu earlier and let Princess Chang Le choose this good man.
At some point, Cheng Chuyu suddenly had another name: The number one young master of Chang 'an City!
This name was spreading like wildfire, and the vast majority of people actually agreed with it!
Zhangsun Chong, who had returned to the manor, overheard the servants 'discussion. He returned to his room with a livid expression and smashed everything that could be smashed. Only then did his anger subside a little!
......
......
Cheng Chuyu had a good sleep and only got up late in the morning.
After washing up, she felt refreshed.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the daily check-in. You have received: One packet of tomato seeds!"
Cheng Chuyu didn't pay much attention to the system's notification. After eating, he walked out of the manor and was about to find Yuchi Baolin and the others to go to the gambling den to withdraw money.
Outside the manor, a young girl wearing a curtained hat rushed over. She was only paying attention to the road and did not expect there to be someone in front of her, so she bumped into Cheng Chuyu.
Afraid that the girl would fall, Cheng Chuyu subconsciously hugged the girl's slender waist.
Although there were several layers of clothing separating them, they could still feel the amazing elasticity.
"Uh... Why is it you? Why are you here?"
Through the translucent curtain hat, Cheng Chuyu saw the girl's hazy face.
It was Princess Li Lizhi of Changle, who was also his future wife.
Li Lizhi felt shy when she was hugged by Cheng Chuyu and felt her strong arms. Her entire head was warm, and her cheeks were flushed red. She was exceptionally moving.
Li Lizhi avoided his gaze and stammered,"I... I'm here to look for you. Why? Don't you welcome me?”
"That's not it. Of course, I welcome my future daughter-in-law to come and look for me. It's just a little strange. Why would your father allow you to come and look for me? Could it be that he had snuck out again?”
Cheng Chuyu had already accepted it, so she naturally wouldn't resist Li Lizhi anymore.
Moreover, this future daughter-in-law was quite good to him.
Li Lizhi blushed even more and mumbled,""Who is your future wife…"
"Who was the one who kept forcing me to marry her?" Cheng Chuyu teased. She even threatened me, saying that if I don't marry her, I'll tell Imperial Father.”
Recalling her bold actions in the palace that day, Li Lizhi blushed so much that blood was about to drip out. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at Cheng Chuyu's teasing gaze, nor did she know what to say.
Even she herself did not know why she had the courage to do such a thing that day.
Seeing Li Lizhi like this, Cheng Chuyu couldn't tease him anymore. She restrained her smile and said seriously,"Did you sneak out or not?”
"Of course not," Li Lizhi replied in a low voice."Father has allowed me to leave the palace as I please, but I have to bring the Thousand Bull Guards with me."”
Only then did Cheng Chuyu notice that there were ten Thousand Bull Guards in casual clothes waiting outside the manor.
"Can you…"
"Hmm?"
"Can you let go of me first? I can't fall…"
"Um."
