The court officials had bewildered expressions on their faces, inwardly shocked and terrified.
To marry off a princess to a subject was different from making a subject's daughter the Crown Princess. The Crown Prince was the heir apparent and the future emperor. The potential candidates for the Crown Princess would naturally be from families whom the Emperor trusted and valued.
Could it be that the Emperor had never suspected the Hua family?
No, no, many court officials instinctively dismissed such speculations and started to guess in another direction.
Could it be that the Emperor was already dissatisfied with the Crown Prince and wanted to eliminate both the Crown Prince and the Hua family at once?
The court officials glanced secretly at the smiling faces of those around them. Everyone seemed to be oblivious to what it meant for the Crown Prince to be connected to the Hua family. This idea gradually solidified in their minds.
Certainly, that's how the Emperor must be thinking.
The thoughts of the examination candidates were mostly simple. They saw that Hua Changkong had just become the top scholar and that his sister was to be the future Crown Princess, so naturally, they showed more enthusiasm towards Hua Changkong.
"Brother Hua, congratulations."
"Brother Hua, double happiness has arrived. Congratulations."
Lin Sen frowned slightly as he watched the candidates who fawned over Hua Changkong. As scholars, why were they valuing fame and fortune so much?
"These people are just useless opportunists," the second-ranked scholar surnamed Xie, said sourly next to Lin Sen, "It's not that we lost to him in talent, but we lost to him in status."
Lin Sen found the comment somewhat unpleasant. His status was higher than that of this scholar surnamed Xie, yet his ranking was two places lower. Wasn't this scholar surnamed Xie implying that his talent was far inferior?
With this in mind, Lin Sen lowered his brows and ignored him.
Seeing that Lin Sen was not paying attention to him, the second-ranked scholar surnamed Xie felt somewhat uncomfortable. Wasn't it Lin Sen the one who felt the most upset during Hua Changkong's most glorious moments?
After the examination results were announced, the most popular event for the common people was the parade of the top scorers. The streets were crowded with onlookers, and young girls had prepared sachets and flowers, waiting for the top-scoring candidates to pass by.
Some influential merchants had cleverly hired entertainers to beat drums and put up their large signs by the street, hoping to make the passersby notice their business.
Yao Songbai, as a descendant of the Yao family, had a quite outstanding appearance. His uncle held the title of Fuma relying on his handsome face. Otherwise, with his lack of substance and the soul that couldn't even pass the scholar's exam, how could he become a Fuma?
The top scholar and all the other top scorers below him were all riding on horseback. Yao Songbai and Hua Changkong were good friends, so naturally, their conversations appeared more intimate. The second-ranked scholar surnamed Xie, watching the women screaming incessantly for Hua Changkong and Yao Songbai, felt excluded.
A good man relied on his talent. What use was it to be so good-looking?
The second-ranked scholar surnamed Xie snorted coldly, turned his head the other way, and stopped looking at the two of them.
"Brother Xie," Hua Changkong smiled, "I noticed that your expression didn't look good. Are you feeling unwell?"
"No need to worry, Top Scholar Hua. I'm perfectly fine," the second-ranked scholar surnamed Xie replied stiffly.
"If Brother Xie is fine, then I can rest assured," Hua Changkong smiled amiably, seemingly unconcerned about the second-ranked scholar surnamed Xie's rudeness.
The people leading the horses were from the Ministry of Rites. They overheard the conversation between the two and couldn't help but be filled with a warm and considerate impression of Hua Changkong, while the second-ranked scholar surnamed Xie's awkwardness and difficulty in getting close to people were apparent.
In the capital, anyone who worked in the Six Ministries knew quite a few influential people, so it was only natural that these newly successful candidates became the objects of scrutiny by various departments.
In the teahouse, Yao Jiamin watched Hua Changkong and Yao Songbai pass by on their tall horses. She patted Yao Wenyin's shoulder and comforted her, "Being the fourth-ranked candidate is great. Titles like the Top Scholar and second-ranked candidate don't sound as good as the fourth-ranked candidate, right?"
Little did she know that there was no hint of sadness on Yao Wenyin's face. Instead, she looked excited and said, "Indeed, it was right to follow Fushou Junzhu. My brother's ranking in the Palace Examination has improved!"
Yao Jiamin: "..."
How could she forget that her cousin had already betrayed her and regarded Hua Liuli as a good friend? Even if Hua Liuli pointed to the sun in the sky and said it was the moon, her cousin would nod and say, "Fushou Junzhu has such good vision, she can see the moon during the day. She must be a gifted person."
Once a person's moral standards start to decline, they have no bottom line.
"Fortunately, you didn't continue to oppose Fushou Junzhu," Tian Shan said happily, "Otherwise, we would have embarrassed ourselves again."
Yao Jiamin: "..."
Was it appropriate to say something that undermined her own prestige and boosted the spirits of others?
As she watched the lively parade pass by, Yao Jiamin said, "Although Hua Liuli is despicable, I have to admit that the people in their family are quite good-looking."
"Of course, General Wei was the most beautiful woman in the capital when she was young."
"Even now, General Wei is still the most beautiful woman," Yao Jiamin would always defend General Wei.
"I think Fushou Junzhu's appearance surpasses that of her parents. She perfectly inherits all the best qualities from both of them..."
"Cousin, I think it's your eyesight that's not good."
"My perception of beauty is the best."
"Then why did you call Hua Liuli a little wretch before?"
"I did that to vent your anger. Besides, those who can be little wretches can't be ugly."
Seeing the two of them arguing, Tian Shan casually peeled a fruit from the table and ate it, not participating in their battle of words.
Anyway, she understood that no matter how they argued now, neither of them could utter a single harsh word when facing Hua Liuli.
"Junzhu!" A maidservant hurriedly ran up the stairs, her expression excited. Tian Shan recognized her as a person from Royal Princess Shunan's side.
"What's the matter?" Yao Jiamin thought that something had happened at home when she saw the maidservant's hurried expression. She didn't have time to quarrel with Yao Wenyin and asked, "What happened?"
"Just now, news came from the palace that His Majesty, the Emperor, has chosen Fushou Junzhu to be the Crown Princess," the maidservant gasped for breath and said, "Kang Wang is now leading officials from the Ministry of Rites to the Hua Family Estate for the marriage proposal. Royal Princess Shunan has said that you are friends with Fushou Junzhu and asked you to hurry back and accompany her to the Hua Family Estate to offer congratulations."
"Wait, are you saying that the Emperor has chosen Hua Liuli to be the Crown Princess?!" Yao Jiamin looked at the maidservant who brought the news in shock and took a while before saying, "Is this information accurate?"
"Nubi wouldn't dare to deceive you. Nubi also heard that His Majesty proposed this marriage to General Hua in front of many court officials. It shows how much importance he attaches to this marriage," The maidservant was pleased in her heart. Since their Junzhu and Fushou Junzhu were closest friends, once the Crown Prince ascends the throne, their Junzhu would be the closest friend of the future empress.
Even if Junzhu didn't have the support of her own family, as long as the Empress supported her, the people in her husband's family wouldn't dare to mistreat her.
"What is the Emperor thinking..."
How could he be so reckless?
Yao Jiamin couldn't hear the maidservant's chattering voice anymore. In her mind, scenes of the Crown Princess violently beating the Crown Prince played out one after another. Eventually, the Emperor would be furious, and the Hua family would be reprimanded. As a friend of Hua Liuli's on the surface, she would also be scorned by the imperial family and would have to live with her head held low in the capital from then on.
It was tragic, so tragic.
Ever since her mind went haywire and she started troubling Hua Liuli, she had stepped into a pitiful abyss.
"Junzhu, please don't space out. Royal Princess Shunan is waiting for you to go back."
"Yao Jiamin, you should hurry back soon. Don't make Royal Princess Shunan wait too long," Hearing the maidservant's urging, Yao Wenyin, who had just snapped out of the shock, pushed Yao Jiamin with her hand and whispered, "We should also go home."
Her surface appeared calm, but her heart was roaring.
Why did the gentle and kind Fushou Junzhu have to marry the Crown Prince?
The Crown Prince was mean-spirited, ill-tempered, and lacked consideration for others. Fushou Junzhu would undoubtedly suffer so much hardship and injustice by marrying him.
The Emperor was truly cunning. He must have known that the Hua family would not agree to a private marriage proposal, so he deliberately brought it up in front of the court officials.
Given General Hua's loyalty to the Emperor, he would never let the Emperor lose face in front of the court officials, so he could only grit his teeth and agree to it.
It's just that Fushou Junzhu, a tender and delicate big white cabbage, would be snatched away by a pig that is Crown Prince.
It's truly heartbreaking.
Emperor Changlong was a man of action. After discussing the matter with Hua Yingting, he sent Kang Wang on the same day with officials from the Ministry of Rites, carrying piles and piles of gifts, to propose marriage to the Hua family.
Wei Mingyue looked at the courtyard filled with gifts and at Kang Wang, who had been smiling all along, and reluctantly accepted the GengTie1庚帖 - gēngtiě - dated card with the horoscope of a boy or girl sent as a proposal for betrothal
from Kang Wang's hand, then handed him a wooden box.
The wooden box contained Hua Liuli's GengTie.
After receiving Fushou Junzhu's GengTie, Kang Wang breathed a sigh of relief. Being bad at making small talk, he awkwardly said a few words of blessing before finding himself at a loss for words.
Fortunately, the officials from the Ministry of Rites were skilled at speaking and praised the Hua family from head to toe before leaving with Kang Wang.
Putting the Crown Prince's GengTie on the table, Wei Mingyue turned her head and glanced at Hua Yingting. Hua Yingting quickly said, "Don't blame me for this. His Majesty brought up this matter in front of so many ministers. I couldn't refuse."
"I know," Wei Mingyue understood in her heart that the recent attitude of the Crown Prince and His Majesty had already indicated their intentions. And Liuli obviously also had intentions toward the Crown Prince, so she didn't oppose this marriage. She just had some concerns. If the Crown Prince did something wrong in the future and her daughter ended up physically attacking him, how would their family handle the aftermath?
Since Liuli was born, they never thought about letting her enter the palace. The current situation was completely unexpected.
They taught Liuli how to beat up men, but they never expected the possibility of Liuli beating up the Crown Prince.
"Ah," Hua Yingting was so worried that he felt like his hair was going to fall out, "Mingyue, what should we do now?"
"What else can we do? We can only go to the Hua family's ancestral hall and burn several incense sticks." Wei Mingyue said calmly, "Someone, go and invite the Junzhu."
"Are we asking them to bless Liuli to not resort to violence against the Crown Prince?"
"No," Wei Mingyue smiled, "We are asking the ancestors of the Hua family to bless the Crown Prince with eternal youth and everlasting beauty."
Hua Yingting touched his own face and felt a sense of crisis in his heart. Was Mingyue implying that he had aged recently?
"Mother, did you call for me?" Before the maidservants could come and invite her, Hua Liuli entered on her own. Wei Mingyue pointed to the empty seat next to her, and when her daughter sat down, she placed the Crown Prince's GengTie in her hands, "Liuli, this is your last chance. Are you willing to marry the Crown Prince?"
Hua Liuli held the GengTie in her hands and looked at Wei Mingyue without saying a word.
"If you are willing, I will never bring up this matter again," Wei Mingyue reached out and touched her daughter's head. "If you are unwilling, I will go to the palace and decline this marriage on your behalf."
Hua Liuli shook her head, "Mother, I used to think that most couples in love were like what I saw at the border, separated by life and death. Or they were like you and Father, sweet and loving, always together in life and death."
"But I have discovered that love, just like people, can have different appearances and different tastes," Hua Liuli held the Crown Prince's GengTie, "The Crown Prince understands my interests and is even willing to defend them when facing others. I am very happy when I'm with him."
"Is that all?" Wei Mingyue's expression gradually eased, "I thought you valued the Crown Prince's appearance the most."
"Mother, am I such a shallow person?" Hua Liuli quickly said, "Although the Crown Prince is handsome, what's more beautiful is his interesting inner self."
"Have you ever thought that the Crown Prince might like someone else, or even want to have a harem like His Majesty?" Wei Mingyue couldn't help but ask, "What will you do then?"
"In that case, I can reluctantly tolerate a few concubines," Hua Liuli finished her sentence and smiled, "Mother, until the day something like that happens, no one knows what it will be like."
"At least for now, I want to agree to what the Crown Prince wants and make him happy. That's enough," Hua Liuli smiled brightly. "My heart is like his. If he has no interest in me, then I will leave. Life is short, and in the face of life and death separations, other things don't need to be taken too seriously."
Wei Mingyue nodded solemnly, "I understand, my daughter."
"General Wei, Royal Princess Shunan has come with her daughter to offer congratulations."
"Royal Princess Shunan?" Wei Mingyue raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Please let the Royal Princess enter."
