Hey! Host! I asked you to have a child, not to have a strategy.

Li Shengjia didn't expect that this person knew his affairs so thoroughly.

Being stared at by everyone, she felt ashamed and angry, her face turned red. While she was angry at the person in front of her, she also hated Zhu Baishao who was far away in Jiangnan.

"Besides, the young lady has spent a lot of money on you and sponsored your studies for the imperial examination. Now that you have passed the imperial examination, are you going to break your promise and make a fortune?"

After hearing this conversation and seeing Li Shengjia's loss of composure, everyone looked at Li Shengjia with complicated eyes.

Feeling the change in the gazes around him, Li Shengjia's face turned red and then pale, and he explained in a weak way: "Since you said we are engaged, why can't she sponsor me to study for the imperial examination?"

After these words were spoken, the people around fell silent. The person who had come over to act as a matchmaker just now quietly stepped back and no longer dared to mention the matter of marriage.

What do these people know? Zhu Baishao is just a fool! She has nothing but a pretty face! I just saved her once, but she has the audacity to come and cling to me! She has no woman's modesty at all!

Just when Li Shengjia was so embarrassed that he wanted to yell, a soft and tender crying voice came:

"You, you are actually engaged?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Princess Yunzhu being supported by a palace maid. Her face was pale and her eyes were moist. She looked at Li Shengjia with resentment, as if she had been let down by him.

For a moment, all the ministers looked at him with amusement.

Emperor Gao Yang, who was standing on the side, frowned.

His imperial sister doesn't seem like a royal lady at all. She holds a storybook about talented men and beautiful women all day long, her mind is full of love and romance, and all she talks about is these things.

If you refute her, she will burst into tears and say sadly that you don't understand love, it's like a dry well and there is no fun in it.

Any official with some connections in the court knew her character, otherwise she would not still be living in the palace and unmarried at the age of seventeen.

In ancient times, girls would usually be engaged before they turned 15 or 15. Some families who valued their daughters so much and were reluctant to let them go might keep their daughters until they were 16 or 17 before marrying them off. But Princess Yunzhu was different. No one dared to marry her.

Gao Yang had no idea when his imperial sister had come into contact with the newly crowned third place winner of the imperial examination. No wonder she was crying and making a fuss about coming to the Qionglin Banquet today, and it was actually for him.

Princess Yunzhu met Li Shengjia at the end of the palace examination and knew that he was the third place winner, young and handsome.

She remembered the stories in the novels, in which every princess and beautiful lady would be with the number one scholar, and live in harmony with him. However, the new number one scholar was an ugly middle-aged man in his thirties. How could he compare to the handsome, gentle and elegant third place scholar?

She felt that this was her true love and they should have an unforgettable love.

She threw away her shyness and took the initiative to get to know Li Shengjia.

Today, she cried and begged her royal brother to let her come to the Qionglin Banquet, but she got such news.

Princess Yunzhu was truly heartbroken. She felt that she was the most miserable woman in the world as her lover was engaged to someone else.

Li Shengjia was also panicking when he saw Princess Yunzhu. His heart was broken when he saw her frail body leaning weakly on the palace maid and her eyes looking at him with sadness and lingering affection.

Princess Yunzhu was born into a noble family, but she was extremely gentle and considerate to him. What a kind and lovely girl she was.

Li Shengjia also looked at Princess Yunzhu affectionately. He wanted to go up to her, comfort her, hug her, and explain to her, but he couldn't.

The expressions of the people around gradually changed from watching the show with interest to confusion and bewilderment; some of them could not keep up with the development of the plot.

Gao Yang looked at the two people who were oblivious to the world and whose eyes were so affectionate that they were about to draw lines, and his sword-like brows were furrowed tighter and tighter.

He even began to doubt his own and his ministers' judgment. How could this person become the third place in the imperial examination?

The eunuch beside him was good at observing the emperor's words and expressions. He noticed the emperor's misgivings and immediately stepped forward and shouted, "How dare you!"

At this time, the audience and Li Shengjia finally noticed Gao Yang, who was covered in cold air, and they all bowed and apologized.

Princess Yunzhu was still leaning on the palace maid, tears in her eyes, and she looked extremely fragile.

Gao Yang glanced at this imperial sister who had no princess's behavior, and asked Li Shengjia coldly, "Who is the one who made a verbal engagement with you?"

After hearing about the engagement again, Princess Yunzhu's face turned even paler. She bit her lips and looked at Li Shengjia pitifully.

Li Shengjia felt a pain in his heart. The princess was so pitiful and weak, and needed his protection so much, but Zhu Baishao was shameless. So don't blame him for being ruthless.

He took a step forward and replied in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the most beautiful women in the world are from the capital and Jiangnan. The most beautiful women in Jiangnan are from the Zhu family. The most beautiful women in the Zhu family are from Bai Shao. Bai Shao is too tall if she grows one inch taller, too short if she loses one inch. She is too white when she puts on powder, too red when she puts on rouge. Her eyebrows are like emerald feathers, her skin is like white snow, her waist is like a bundle of silk, her teeth are like woven shells, and her charming smile can captivate thousands of families. However, this woman is all gold and jade, but rotten cotton inside. She is like glass on the outside, but like grass on the inside. This woman has been climbing over the wall to spy on me for three years, but I have not agreed to her yet."

When he said this, many people nodded secretly, thinking that he was worthy of being the third place in the imperial examination and had some skills.

But this Zhu Baishao from the Zhu family that he mentioned, is there really such a beautiful woman in the world?

As for saying that she is a wild person, that's a joke. Do they marry wives to study and research state affairs with their wives?

Princess Yunzhu's eyes brightened more and more as she listened. He was indeed the third place winner in the imperial examination. He spoke eloquently, his heart and eyes full of admiration.

At the same time, she also heard that this was Li Shengjia's explanation to her.

He really is her ideal husband!

He understands my own mind so well!

Zhu Baishao from the Zhu family was also a beautiful woman, but she was actually a fool, and she came a step too late, because Li Lang had already fallen in love with her!

Gao Yang's eyebrows moved slightly, his eyes were deep, and a hint of interest flashed in them. Straw bag beauty? I have never seen one before.

In an instant, he thought of the palace maid he met in his childhood, and disgust flashed in his eyes again.

These women are really disgusting.

Yunzhu saw that her brother had not responded to his beloved, and worried that he would be embarrassed, so she said softly: "Li Tanhua, so, it is all Miss Zhu's wishful thinking? You don't have an engagement?"

Seeing the noble and fragile princess cautiously testing him in public, Li Shengjia felt that she was like a kitten, pitiful and cute, and his heart was filled with sourness and numbness, mixed with a little pride.

"Princess, I have been a soft-hearted person since I was young. I was afraid that she would bother me and disturb my studies. Seeing her crying so hard, I said something verbally. This... this is nothing, right?"

Li Shengjia was talking when he suddenly remembered that his parents' house in Jiangnan was also bought by Zhu Baishao. He was afraid that someone would find out about it later, so he hurriedly added: "Since then, she often used money to humiliate me. I originally swore not to accept it, but my family was poor and my parents were suffering from serious illnesses, so I had to accept it..."
