Yanzhi's head buzzed and she stood there blankly, at a loss as to what to do.

The maid beside her saw that Yanzhi was not leaving and asked, "Madam, what's wrong with you?"

"What's the name of the new number one scholar?"

Yanzhi's mind was in a mess, but she was obsessed with one answer.

"Xu Xingzhi, Master Xu." The maid beamed with joy. "Who in the capital doesn't know the love story of Xu the Champion and the Princess?"

"The eldest princess is His Majesty's only legitimate daughter, and has been doted on since childhood. Once, while leaving the palace incognito, she was abducted by human traffickers and nearly sold to a brothel. It was Xu Zhuangyuan who rescued the princess from the traffickers."

"From now on, the princess will marry no one but Lord Xu. It is a great honor for the emperor to grant the marriage."

Princess Li Leran is the only daughter of the emperor and the empress, and also the eldest daughter. Naturally, it is not excessive to pamper her.

The emperor and the empress were reluctant to part with their only daughter, so the eldest princess was still unmarried at the age of twenty. Girls from ordinary families started discussing marriages at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and got married at the age of fifteen, or at the latest sixteen.

Many people privately discussed that the eldest princess would never be able to get married.

But this year the eldest princess fell in love with the new number one scholar at first sight, and she was determined to marry him. She cried and made a fuss, asking the emperor to issue an order.

The Emperor and the Empress did not agree with the eldest princess marrying Xu Xingzhi. They wanted to choose a son from a prominent family or a first-rank official in the capital. Although Xu Xingzhi passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar at a young age, he was not as good as the young masters in the capital.

Helplessly, the eldest princess' heart fell on Xu Xingzhi, and the emperor and the queen had no choice but to agree.

Yanzhi sat in the teahouse from morning to night with a blank look in her eyes, and no one knew what she was thinking.

The maid urged her again and again, but Yanzhi remained unmoved. Finally, the maid brought up the matter of Prince Li, and only then did Yanzhi walk out of the teahouse as if she had lost her soul.

On the way back, I could still see the princess's people distributing wedding candies and silver to the people.

The people happily received the silver, discussed the eldest princess with those around them, and expressed their congratulations.

Everyone said that the eldest princess and Lord Xu were a perfect match made in heaven.

Yanzhi was in high spirits, her soul had already drifted away. She wanted to see Lord Xu.

She wanted to know if Lord Xu was her Sanlang.

The wedding day soon arrived. Yanzhi occupied the best teahouse early in the morning, which was the must-pass place for the wedding procession.

If she hadn't seen Lord Xu in person, she wouldn't have believed that Lord Xu, who married the princess, was Sanlang.

The red carpet stretches as far as the eye can see from the imperial palace to the mansion of the number one scholar. The trees in the city are hung with red silk. There is an endless stream of people, and everyone's face is filled with joy.

Suddenly someone among the people shouted: "The bridegroom is here."

People kept pushing forward to see this top scholar.

Xu Xingzhi came slowly on horseback to greet the eldest princess. He was a young man in red clothes and riding a white horse, with a slight smile on his face.

coming.

Yanzhi was in great torment.

Xu Xingzhi came along with the light, and the halo behind him was like the appearance of gods and Buddhas, blessing this grand wedding.

Yanzhi's mind went blank for a few seconds, and her heart was in chaos.

Sanlang, whom she thought about day and night, became someone else's groom.

And she became someone else's mistress.

I still remember that when she was a child, Xu Xingzhi ran back from the academy with sweat on his face and taught her to read patiently and carefully.

Although he was only three years older than her, he taught her how to read and write in a serious manner like a teacher.

Sanlang is the third child in the family, and everyone around him calls him Sanlang. After Yanzhi learned to write, she wrote a full page about Sanlang.

When he was not teaching her, Sanlang liked to tease her, causing her to quarrel with him. She could never win the argument and would cry in anger, and he would anxiously coax her.

When she grew up a little, her father sold her to a brothel and asked her to learn to play the piano and dance. She would be beaten if she performed even slightly abnormally.

She thought about committing suicide. During the time she was in the brothel, every time she couldn't hold on any longer, she would think of Sanlang and every little detail about them.

As long as she doesn't die, she will have the chance to see Sanlang again, even if she has no chance to meet him in this life.

Before he went to Beijing to take the imperial examination, he spent all his savings to see her.

"Yanzhi, when I graduate from high school, I will come back and marry you."

Yanzhi was both happy and at a loss, "Sanlang, I... am no longer worthy of you."

You shouldn't give me hope.

Saburo said firmly, "I don't care."

"I, Xu Xingzhi, swear to heaven that when I pass the imperial examination, I will return to redeem Yanzhi. In this life, Xu Xingzhi will not marry anyone other than Yanzhi. If I break this oath..."

"Sanlang, stop talking nonsense." Yanzhi covered Xu Xingzhi's mouth to prevent him from swearing.

Xu Xingzhi smiled and grabbed Yanzhi's hand with both hands.

"If you break this oath, all you have gained will be lost, all you have sought will be lost, and you will never be able to attain rebirth in eternity."

"Sanlang." Yanzhi frowned unhappily.

Xu Xingzhi: "Believe me, Yanzhi, I will definitely pass the high school entrance exam and I will definitely come back to marry you."

"I believe you."

As the sun sets, the afterglow of the sun is like a smile, illuminating the beautiful couple.

On the day Xu Xingzhi left, Yanzhi pawned all her jewelry and took all the money in the cabinet.

Yanzhi gave all the silver to Xu Xingzhi.

Xu Xingzhi was unwilling to accept it, "I am poor, but I won't take your money."

"Sanlang, is there still a distinction between you and me?" Yanzhi was very depressed holding the silver in her hand.

"I'm keeping it in the cabinet as travel expenses. I'll get more in the future, so just think of it as an investment for yourself."

Yanzhi thought about it and remembered a word she had learned before.

Yanzhi was never able to convince Xu Xingzhi. The only time she succeeded in convincing him was when she asked him to accept her money.

These were the last words Xu Xingzhi said to Yanzhi before he left.

"I'll come back and marry you."

Yanzhi laughed at herself.

Xu Xingzhi felt a complicated gaze, looked up, and saw a familiar face with a broken and self-deprecating expression.

He pursed his lips and tightened the reins, "Go."

"Ahhhhhhh scumbag!" Yun He exclaimed in surprise, "The scumbag is my brother!"

Xu Xingzhi turned out to be Yun Jingkuo.

Mu Ze held his forehead and said helplessly: "Xu Xingzhi is not necessarily a scumbag."

"If Xu Xingzhi was not a scumbag, why did he marry the eldest princess? Why didn't he keep his promise? If he had redeemed Yanzhi as soon as he became the top scorer in the imperial examination, Yanzhi would not have met Li Cheng, and would not have become Li Cheng's concubine." Yun He was puzzled.

Just because Xu Xingzhi is played by his brother, it doesn’t mean we can cover up his nature as a scumbag.

Su Ning supported her chin with her hand and her eyes fell on Xu Xingzhi's face, which was 60% similar to Yun He.

After a long while, Su Ning said leisurely: "Your brother is dying."

Yun He:???

Yanzhi sat there until sunset, and Li Cheng sent someone to invite her back.

Li Cheng sat in a high seat, looking like he was watching a show. "Seeing the San Lang you've been thinking about, why don't you tell me what you think?"

Yanzhi's heart felt like it was being grabbed by someone, she was suffocating, crying bitterly, feeling helpless.

"Yanzhi has long been the Crown Prince's concubine. How could she still be obsessed with the eldest princess' husband?"

"Heh." Li Cheng curled his lips. "The Crown Princess is kind enough to allow you to enter the mansion. You will return home with me tonight."

Yanzhi opened her mouth, "My Lord, Yanzhi..."

"How dare you refuse the decision of this prince and his wife?"
