I'll still ride a horse with her.
The current scene is somewhat embarrassing.
Countless eyes were watching from the street.
Xiao Tang wished she could bury her head in her arms like an ostrich.
She looks like a complete disgrace right now.
Riding a horse alongside the Regent in full view of everyone was somewhat... too arrogant.
Di Jingling spurred the horse, and it galloped off at top speed.
Xiao Tang instinctively gripped his pants tightly.
My intention was to grab his pants, but I ended up grabbing the flesh on his leg instead.
It hurt when I pinched you.
"Your Highness, are you trying to murder your husband?" His tone was cold, but he was actually in pain from Xiao Tang's grip.
She reluctantly released her grip.
Nestled in his arms, she tilted her head back and asked sweetly, "My lord, where are we going?"
"I don't really like riding horses, I'm scared~"
She pretended to be aggrieved and counted on her fingers.
Di Jingling looked down and could only see the woman's slightly lowered head and her trembling eyelashes.
It's not that I'm actually afraid of riding horses, I'm just wondering if you're trying to trick me again, you big brat?
[Looks like he's got real talent.]
Her response was a soft chuckle from the man.
To Xiao Tang, it sounded more like a mockery.
"Go to Lord Lu's wedding."
As he explained, he still slowed down the horse's speed.
It was as if the princess in his arms was truly frail and easily frightened.
Xiao Tang's attention was drawn to the phrase "Lord Lu's wedding."
She blinked slightly.
Which Lord Lu?
I don't know much about the court officials either.
It wasn't until they arrived at the gate of the Lu residence that Xiao Tang realized who this Lord Lu was.
Minister Lu's father passed away long before the late emperor.
However, this person was not described in the book, so Xiao Tang didn't take it to heart.
Outside the mansion gates, crowds of people had come to join the fun.
Before the bride's sedan chair arrived, the Minister stood in front of the mansion gate, dressed in a festive groom's outfit, looking truly handsome and dashing.
He dusted off his clothes, his expression somewhat blank, perhaps due to nervousness.
But when he noticed two pairs of eyes looking at him, he suddenly turned his head.
Unexpectedly, their eyes met those of the Regent.
"Regent!" He was startled and immediately knelt down.
With his exclamation, everyone else knelt down as well.
Everyone was amazed.
After all, Lord Lu was just a minor Minister of Rites, so why did he attract the attention of the Regent to attend the wedding in person?
Could it be...?
Is this a sign that Lord Lu is about to be promoted?
Those present were quite astute, and their blessings for Lord Lu became even more fervent.
Just as Xiao Tang was about to climb off the horse, he pulled her into his arms.
The man's thin lips brushed against her earlobe: "Does Your Highness know that several spies from the Northern Frontier have entered the capital?"
Xiao Tang shook her head in surprise.
[Why do I feel like you're talking about Murong Ze? Didn't you capture everyone?]
Are you implying that among the many people attending this wedding today are spies?
For Xiao Tang, none of these things mattered!
The point is, she has no problem with him wanting to whisper, but is it necessary to bring his thin lips so close?
It was almost touching her earlobe.
So much so that... her ears felt a little hot.
Anyone who didn't know better would have thought the man was saying something flirtatious to her, making her blush.
"The details of espionage are known only to you and me."
"When you enter the wedding banquet, don't eat or drink anything offered by strangers, understand?"
The man gave a few more instructions.
He then lifted her off the horse.
Xiao Tang nodded like a chick pounding garlic.
She suddenly felt that the villain at this moment was like a wise old man giving her advice, treating her like a child?
She can immediately smell if there's something wrong with the drinks or food.
The couple entered the wedding banquet hand in hand.
It also made others envious.
Most of the guests present today are officials below the ninth rank who want to curry favor with Lord Lu.
The presence of the Regent and Queen, on the contrary, brought a sense of grandeur to the otherwise modest wedding banquet.
When Xiao Tang sat down, she still had a polite smile on her face.
Someone nearby exclaimed, "I didn't expect the Regent's wife to be so dignified, unlike the rumors!"
"Yes, the princess is really beautiful, she seems much prettier than the seventh princess."
Xiao Tang originally had no particular thoughts, but after hearing their discussion, she became unhappy.
Why compare her to that scheming, innocent female lead?
Hmph, Xiao Rourou is not worthy of being compared to her!
Just as I was pondering this, the emcee shouted, "The auspicious time has arrived!"
Just as the newlyweds were about to perform the wedding ceremony, a group of people suddenly surged in from outside. The man in the lead was wearing the cold, golden armor that was worn by people from the northern frontier.
He came in with more than a dozen brothers, walking with a swagger.
But when Lord Lu saw this scene, his expression changed drastically, and he showed a look of fear.
"I have come all this way just to present Lord Lu with a small gift. I am sure Lord Lu will like it."
The Minister's face had turned ashen.
He secretly glanced in the direction of the regent.
It's quite strange that the Regent would be here today...
Xiao Tang also looked at the gift box handed out by the Northern Frontier people, and couldn't help but curiously lean over to Di Jingling's ear.
"Husband, the spy you mentioned... could it be Lord Lu?"
If they hadn't come to attend this wedding, they probably wouldn't have known that Lord Lu had such a good relationship with the people of the Northern Frontier.
