When Shi Yi thinks about Xianyu, someone always comes to disturb her.

Shi Yi: "It depends on luck. If you want to find me, you can come to Tianxianglou to find Shopkeeper He. I usually stay here when I'm in Kyoto."

Lu Zisheng said angrily: "You are not very old, why are you running around? Who is your master? Doesn't he care about you?"

Shi Yi: You little brat! You still want to trick me? I don’t even know who my master is, so who can control me?

"My master has been in seclusion for many years and forbade me to reveal his name, otherwise he would expel me from the sect. He likes freedom and doesn't like being bound." Shi Yi made up a story, but Lu Zisheng believed it without a doubt.

He felt that this was inheritance, and that the master would teach his apprentice in the same way as him.

Lu Zisheng was not too disappointed when he failed to invite Shi Yi to be the director of the Medical Department. He even treated Shi Yi to a good meal at Tianxiang Tower. After all, he had to thank Shi Yi for saving his life.

Although he didn't say anything nice, he still felt that he and Shi Yi had a friendship, after all, Shi Yi accepted the token from the Medical Bureau.

Although he couldn't take up the post right away, she would be on his side from now on. He left in a good mood.

Shi Yi: It’s good to be friends with rich people. They are generous and don’t care about money. She likes these second-generation rich people.

A big news came out of Kyoto these days. The emperor granted a marriage to Zhong Liwen, the second uncle of the Zhong family. The bride was actually a princess. This princess was the emperor's sister, Princess Anle, the fifth daughter of the late emperor.

This princess was one of the emperor's favorites because she was very talented and had outstanding looks.

Originally, the emperor planned to pick a suitable candidate from this year's top or third place in the imperial examination, because his younger sister had reached marriageable age, and the empress had also discussed it with him.

Unexpectedly, the sudden appearance of the Zhong family disrupted the emperor's original plan. The Zhong family must be settled well. Originally, the emperor could have re-employed members of the Zhong family as officials, but because of the mess that happened in the Chen Shangshu family and the serious population decline in the Zhong family, it was far from enough to just give them an official position.

After discussing with the Queen, she felt that what the Zhong family lacked most now was a successor. Zhong Limo already had a wife, and he was also old and seemed to be in poor health, so it seemed a bit difficult for him to have a child.

But the second uncle of the Zhong family is just right. He is in his prime and has no wife yet. He is also very handsome. As for education, people from the Zhong family should not be much different. Even if he is not well-educated, it does not matter. His current responsibility is to expand the Zhong family.

Therefore, the emperor felt that he should give the Zhong family the best marriage, which would not only demonstrate that the royal family was clear about rewards and punishments, but also let the people of the world see that the royal family had never forgotten their meritorious officials.

Therefore, this marriage must be of sufficient importance. Is there any marriage more important than that of a princess?

Since you are going to arrange a marriage, then give the most important princess to the Zhong family to expand the family. In this way, who would dare to say that the royal family is not kind enough to the Zhong family?

Is Princess Anle willing?

The fifth princess was reluctant at first, thinking: Can the Zhong family have a new number one or number three scholar?

Her mother told her:

"Neither the newly crowned No. 1 scholar nor the No. 3 scholar are as popular as a member of the Zhong family! Both the newly crowned No. 1 scholar and the No. 3 scholar have to start from the bottom step by step and work hard without complaint to become an official. However, the emperor will treat a member of the Zhong family well even if he is not very talented. Let's put it this way, as long as he doesn't commit suicide, he will be specially taken care of by the royal family for his whole life.

If this second uncle of the Zhong family had a little bit of talent, the royal family would have to use him. If he had made great achievements in some aspect, he would be made a shining star by the royal family. He is destined to have a smooth road ahead!"

When the fifth princess heard this, she felt relieved and realized there was nothing to be dissatisfied about.

The Queen knew what her sister was most worried about. One day, the Emperor summoned the second uncle of the Zhong family into the palace for a talk. The Queen asked the Fifth Princess to stand behind the screen and secretly take a look at what kind of person Zhong Li Wen was.

Zhongli Wen is now dressed in new clothes and no longer looks as poor as he did that day in the court. His hair is meticulously combed by servants and his clothes are gorgeous and decent.

Zhongli Wen is 28 years old, with regular features, red lips and white teeth. He looks very elegant. He is not thin because he worked frequently in the past. He is of medium height and looks well-proportioned.

After the fifth princess saw the man, she felt relieved. She originally thought that since the man was still unmarried at such an old age, he must be ugly, so she did not have high expectations. However, she did not expect that he would be so handsome, like a shining pearl. Although he was a little older, he looked mature and steady, and he was also very handsome.

The emperor inquired carefully about Zhongli Wen’s marital status and why he had not gotten married.

Zhong Liwen did not hide anything and was very frank. He explained why he did not get married:

When his father was alive, he was betrothed to a man. His fiancée's family had a close relationship with the Zhong family. But in their generation, the Zhong family was like Wang Xiaoer, and each year was getting worse.

The Zhong family had been living in seclusion, relying on their savings to make a living, and the two brothers did not know how to do business, so their family assets were naturally getting thinner and thinner. But the girl's family was different, with a large population and promising children. In the past few years, they were thriving and like fish in water, and the gap between the two families became wider and wider.

After the woman's elder passed away, her brother came to cancel the engagement on behalf of the elder. Although Zhong Liwen was a little sad, he didn't say much. He canceled the engagement on the spot, returned the token, tore up the engagement certificate, and the matter was settled.

The next year, the girl's family found her a man of equal status, and the girl happily remarried. Zhong Liwen's beautiful fantasy of marriage was shattered because of this incident, so he had no intention of looking for a partner, and this dragged on for many years.

The emperor was very satisfied with this answer, as long as he didn't have someone in his heart, and I think the emperor's sister was also satisfied. The fifth princess did not say whether she was satisfied or not, but left with a blush on her face. Seeing this, the queen understood in her heart and said that the emperor could grant the marriage.

Of course, before the marriage, the imperial physician examined Zhongli Wen's body. The princess's husband must not have any hidden illness. Fortunately, Zhongli Wen was in good health and the emperor was very satisfied.

A few days later, the Zhong family received the imperial decree granting marriage. Zhong Liwen was stunned. The princess wanted to marry him? Zhong Limo smiled and patted his brother's shoulder with relief.

Zhongli Mo: This is probably the blessing our ancestors left for future generations!

Zhong Limo said to Zhong Liwen with a serious expression:

"Second brother, the future responsibility of the Zhong family is now handed over to you. You and the princess must do your best to expand the Zhong family. Whether our Zhong family can bring glory to our ancestors depends entirely on you."

Zhong Liwen felt pressured after hearing what his elder brother said.

He understood that this marriage was not just a personal matter, but also related to the future of the entire Zhong family. However, he did not have too many expectations for love and marriage, and he could not help but feel a little hesitant.

Princess! What would it be like to be a wife?
