Everyone nodded as if they were being taught.

From the first day Lu Yun entered the singing and dancing house, he showed his talent and played the guqin. His skillful technique and extraordinary noble temperament made him famous in Luoyang City.

In this era, beauties are so popular!

Luo Lingyu faced so many difficulties because she wanted to marry into a wealthy family, but Chen Xue, played by Lu Yun, did not want to marry into a wealthy family. She just wanted to be noticed by the prefect of Luoyang and enter his palace.

When Chen Xue's fame spread among the singing and dancing halls, beauties were still being sent to the residence of the governor of Luoyang, and the dead ones were carried out. The governor was tyrannical in private, and the girls in Luoyang were terrified, fearing that they would be chosen. At this time, Chen Xue, who always strolled around the courtyard carelessly, seemed to be away from the crowd, and came into the sight of the subordinates who were selecting beauties for the governor.

"This woman is very beautiful, but she seems a little cold and a little too tall..."

"But I can't find anyone more beautiful than her in Luoyang City."

"Recently, the North and South have been at war, and there are soldiers inside and outside Luoyang. The governor is restless and may become even more irritable. We should not provoke the governor, but select a beautiful woman and send her to him for his pleasure."

Lu Sanlang thrived in Luoyang and took every opportunity to enter the governor's mansion. In Nanyang, the situation on the main battlefield of the Wei generals was still stable. Luo Lingyu took some time to care about the soldiers of the Hengyang King who came to help them.

Luo Lingyu's way of helping was to use her clever tongue to obtain food from the aristocratic families for the soldiers and distribute it to them.

Prince Hengyang was surprised and slightly moved: "Thank you for your hard work, my lady."

Luo Lingyu smiled bitterly, thinking that if the war didn't end, the noble families in Nanyang would be the first to collapse. There was a barrier between the noble families and the common people, and the two sides didn't trust each other. In this situation, she was very tired of mediating between the two.

However, Miss Luo was full of energy. Even when she was very tired, she never complained. While the soldiers were distributing food, she went to the kitchen to cook for generals like Liu Mu, the Prince of Hengyang. When she brought the delicious fish to Liu Mu's table, Liu Mu was slightly surprised. Seeing the girl smiled, she said, "This fish is called 'Longevity Fish', and it is a famous food in Nanyang."

Luo Lingyu spoke in a voice like an oriole, saying that this fish was a carp from the Yellow River, which had delicious meat and was quite famous. Luo Lingyu cooked the fish with wolfberries and added her own seasoning. The fish was bright red and had a fresh fragrance. The fish was juicy and delicious.

Liu Mu sat at the table, and the girl diligently took chopsticks for him, introduced the origin and cooking method of fish to him, and told him some anecdotes to please him.

Liu Mu's expression flickered slightly. Seeing Luo Lingyu busying around like this, he suddenly had a strange idea in his mind. She was so clever and lively, and was good at so many things. He had never seen her before. She could write poems and paint, compose music and dance, play music with others, and cook. A girl who was so good at enjoying life... Whoever married her, life would be full of flavor every day, not monotonous, right?

And who is so lucky to marry her!

Luo Lingyu's voice brought Liu Mu back to reality. She frowned and said worriedly, "Why doesn't the young master eat? What did I do wrong?"

Liu Mu shook his head.

He took a bite of the fish with chopsticks, and the fish meat melted in his mouth. It was indeed delicious. Liu Mu's eyes lit up slightly, and he saw Luo Lingyu's smile. Luo Lingyu looked for a long time before asking, "Did he send any letters recently?"

Liu Mu paused for a moment before realizing who the "he" she was talking about was. He lost his appetite and interest for a moment, and then he realized that she was so attentive for this purpose. Luo Lingyu's purpose was clear, and Liu Mu almost felt it. He felt uncomfortable, but under the gaze of the girl's beautiful eyes, Liu Mu still said simply: "No. Entering Luoyang's important area, it is not appropriate to expose your whereabouts. He will never send a letter out."

Luo Lingyu nodded disappointedly: "I'm just worried about him."

Liu Mu sneered: "What does he have to worry about!"

Luo Lingyu heard his disdainful tone, as if she had a deep opinion of Lu Yun. She paused for a moment, then asked Liu Mu curiously, "I heard that when my third cousin was young, he also studied with His Highness?"

Liu Mu's interest was getting lower and lower: "... Yeah."

Luo Lingyu's eyes lit up slightly, and she leaned forward. She was not as wary of Liu Mu as before: "What kind of person was my third cousin when he was in school? Is he the same as he is now? My second cousin said that my third cousin was a playboy when he was young, and that he is much more stable now. I see that my third cousin doesn't like to attend banquets now. Was he like this when he was in school?"

Liu Mu was furious and extremely impatient. He then realized that Luo Lingyu was just gossiping with him about Lu Yun's youth. What good was that? Some people are just as annoying from childhood to adulthood.

Liu Mu glanced at Luo Lingyu and said, "He wasn't a good person before. Are you sure you want to hear it?"

Luo Lingyu nodded.

Liu Mu put down his chopsticks and sneered, "Lu Sanlang is pretending to be pure and indifferent now, but he was not like this when he was young. When he was young, he was flamboyant and arrogant. He wrote poems and essays, and his articles were spread all over the world. But he relied on his good looks to attract women. This man is not a good person. Several families of Jianye are related to the Lu family by marriage, and family marriages are not easy to refuse. Lu Sanlang deliberately replied to the wrong letters from several girls. The girls then realized how many people were pursuing him at the same time, and they quarreled with each other. That year, many families fell out because of Lu Sanlang's mischief."

Luo Lingyu: "...This shows that Third Cousin has never been interested in women."

Liu Mu: "He looked down on his teacher, so he joined other students in writing a petition, forcing the teacher to have a discussion with the students. At the worst time, he persuaded three teachers to leave within a month. As a result, no one dared to come to teach me for half a year."

Luo Lingyu: "... Third cousin is really knowledgeable."

Liu Mu: "We spent the whole year hanging out with him and didn't study much, but at the end of the year, he was the best student. We were all playing together, but he was the one who studied behind our backs. This guy is so cunning, don't you think it's infuriating?"

Luo Lingyu: "...Maybe I'm just more gifted."

Liu Mu: "..."

He said one thing, Luo Lingyu praised one thing. Liu Mu gradually stopped talking, staring at Luo Lingyu, feeling sad. In Luo's heart, Lu Sanlang was naturally different from others, and naturally good in everything. She may have liked Lu Yun from the beginning to the end. In her eyes, other people were always inferior to Lu Yun. She tried to hide it when she was in Jianye, but now she can do what she wants...
