The unlucky guy was reborn as a lucky girl from a farm

Niu Li was dressed in a bright red official robe, wearing a black gauze hat with flowers in his hair, and a wide red silk sash slung across his shoulders. He rode a tall horse, and his entourage of guards stretched as far as the eye could see.

The streets were packed with people, far more than the crowds that had gathered to witness General Li's triumphant return.

The girls' shouts were deafening.

"Scholar Niu is truly a handsome man; is he married?"

The voices rose in waves.

"Hmph, it's not your turn, Scholar Niu. How about I be your wife?"

"Ah~ Look this way."

Niu Li saw all sorts of flowers being thrown at him, but he didn't dodge them. He even picked up a few and smelled them.

"Ah, the top scholar likes my flowers; he smelled my flowers."

"He smelled me too."

"The top scholar is young, and I haven't heard of him having any hidden illnesses. Moreover, his sister seems to be the manager of Yunlai Restaurant. Marrying him would be a good idea."

"You're dreaming. Only I can marry him."

"You said last time that you wanted to marry General Li, but you changed your mind so quickly."

“He’s young. General Li is so old, he must be past his prime. Why not choose the better one? I want this one.”

"You really have a vivid imagination."

"Hey, can't I even think about it?"

Looking at the crowd and listening to the cheers, Niu Li felt a sense of unreality.

I had wondered before if I really became the top scholar, would I also be surrounded by many people and paraded through the streets like General Li?

Now the dream has come true.

Ten years of hard study have earned him the title of the emperor's student.

Nier, Yanzi, Lao San, and Yichuan were also in the crowd.

"Father, I can't see."

The third brother picked up Yichuan and said, "Your brother will be here soon."

"I also want to be the top scholar in the imperial examination in the future and ride a big horse through the streets."

“Okay, that’s definitely possible. Your brother will be the top scholar in the civil service exam, and you will be the top scholar in the military exam.”

When Yanzi saw Niu Li coming, she waved her hands frantically.

Niu Li naturally saw his family and waved to them.

The girls shouted excitedly:

"He must be looking at me."

"They're looking at me."

After the parade ended, the threshold of the princess's mansion was worn down by matchmakers.

Invitations to propose marriage between Niu Li and the princess poured in.

Even the illiterate swallow can almost understand the words on the post.

His Majesty's decree was issued quickly, announcing the marriage between Prince Li and Princess Anning.

This has stirred up another storm in the capital.

"That Princess Anning is so lucky! Her family is full of good-looking people, her husband is handsome, and her younger brother is handsome too."

"Of course, she's beautiful herself, a real beauty."

"A room full of beauties, how delightful it would be to be every day."

"Exactly, exactly. In the future, I not only want to find someone who treats me well, but also someone who is good-looking."

With far fewer posts this time, Yanzi was finally less upset.

General Li was relieved and focused on preparing for the wedding.

Nier was entertaining guests at the restaurant when she suddenly saw a familiar figure.

I can hardly believe my eyes.

Her voice was slightly aggrieved and tearful.

"Master...Master~"

Zhao Jincheng's smile, bathed in sunlight, was warm and bright.

"Congratulations to my little apprentice on being granted the title of princess and finding a good husband."

Nier cried and laughed at the same time, "Bad master, stinky master, why did you only come now? I missed you so much, you know?"

Zhao Jincheng said gently:

"I miss you too."

When Ni'er saw her master, who was still so young and handsome, she realized that he was about the same age as Prince Li.

He took his master's hand and walked into the restaurant.

"Tell me quickly where you've been. You haven't even come to the capital to see me. I'll arrange some dishes for you. See if there's anything you like. We can chat while we eat."

Zhao Jincheng let her lead him into the private room.

"You're so old now, it's not appropriate for you to still be holding your teacher's hand."

“What’s inappropriate about it? A teacher for a day is a father for life. Who dares to say anything is wrong?”

Zhao Jincheng naturally doted on Ni'er.

"Okay, okay, you can hold hands if you want."

The restaurant was bustling with people, and many saw Nier holding the hand of a handsome man.

Prince Li soon found out as well.

His face immediately darkened.

Let's storm into the restaurant and see which pretty boy is so arrogant.

Standing at the door of the private room, I could hear people talking and laughing inside.

It's not a taste in my heart.

I raised my hand, wanting to push the door open, but I was a little timid.

Nier was about to ask the waiter to add a few more dishes when she saw General Li standing there like a wooden stake.

"How did you come?"

General Li's heart was in turmoil. She was already starting to dislike him and didn't like him even before they were married. Sure enough, he was too old, and a younger woman would be more suitable for her.

"Then I..."

Before he could even say "go," Nier pulled him inside.

"This is my master."

Prince Li breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it was Ni'er's master, but when he saw Zhao Jincheng's handsome and refined appearance, his heart jumped into his throat again.

My mind went blank, and I stiffly held the teacup, drinking the tea.

Hearing the two of them chatting and laughing, I felt completely superfluous.

He kept reminding himself that this was Nier's master, and it was normal for the two of them to catch up after not seeing each other for so long. He was overthinking it.

"Master, if you don't mind, please stay at the Princess's residence for the next few days to see me off on my wedding."

Zhao Jincheng looked at General Li's dejected expression and felt both amused and sorry for him.

"This...isn't good."

"There's nothing wrong with it. You're my master, no one else dares to say anything. Besides, I want my master to escort me to my wedding."

Unable to dissuade Ni'er, he had no choice but to agree.

"Whatever my apprentice says goes. It's also a long time since I've participated in such a lively event."

“That’s great, Master. Actually, I don’t just want you to escort me to my wedding.”

"Oh? What do you want me to do? I will do my best to do it."

"I also want you to be my dowry."

"This……"

Zhao Jincheng glanced at Prince Li, who had been silent all along, and now seemed even more devastated.

Nier sensed that something was wrong and immediately changed her tune.

"I was just kidding. I just wanted my master to come and see me more often when he has time."

Zhao Jincheng nodded.

"I have done my best, but this Prince's mansion, I'm afraid..."

Nier nudged Prince Li with her elbow.

Prince Li seemed to wake from a dream, and although unwilling, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Since he is Master Anning, his medical skills must be superb. I hereby grant Doctor Zhao the position of physician in the royal palace, allowing him free access to the palace."

Nier beamed with joy upon hearing this, "Master, I'll come if you want to see me."

Zhao Jincheng nodded and replied, "Mm."

Prince Li felt he shouldn't have come; now his heart ached so much he was almost numb.

But he also knew that Nier and her master had just been chatting because they hadn't seen each other for many days, which was understandable. He felt bad, but he could only adjust himself.
