After Sheng Weiqiao returned to Ningwei Marquis Mansion, she told Senior Master Sheng and others about the things happening in the Palace, and then she said to Senior Master Sheng alone, "It turns out that the Grand Princess Wuyang chooses me just because of the recommendation of the Empress. I've met Yichun Marquis at the flower-enjoying banquet, but I don't think we are right for each other."
"That's okay. Let's choose some other men." Senior Master Sheng sighed secretly after hearing it, wondering why his granddaughter's marriage always went wrong! Both Xu Baomo and Li Shengxu whom he chose for her had great elders in their families, and they were both excellent in political stance and appearance. However, there were always unforeseen events that made them unable to be with Sheng Weiqiao.
Was it that his granddaughter had lived so happily in the past fifteen years and she had spent all of her luck so her marriage had not been settled yet?

What kind of agreement the two sides had reached privately was naturally unknown to others.The news was that Sheng Shuihe had officially changed his surname back to Rong. However, perhaps because he had been used to the current name, he had not restored the original name of "Rong Qingchou". He was called Rong Shuihe from now on, and his courtesy name was still Hengshu.The rule that Royal Family was not allowed to participate in the imperial examination was stipulated by His Majesty Emperor Taizu, so it was not easy for future generations to violate this rule. At least the party of Gaomi King was not able to violate this rule now, so Rong Shuihe was exempted from the title of the Number One Scholar.However, it was the fact that Rong Shuihe won the first place in the entry-level examination, the first place in provincial imperial examinations, the second place in the metropolitan examination, and finally became the Number One Scholar. T
Well, Senior Master Sheng refused to attend the banquet in the sender's presence. His excuse was that he got busy with many things, such as looking for a nice mansion and making preparations for his great-granddaughter's engagement.Well, the sender who sent the invitation card to him was Madam Qi. Maybe Rong Shuihe had asked her to invite Sheng Weiqiao for the banquet, or maybe she just wanted to express her goodwill. Hearing that, she made a compromise, "Senior Master, if you really have no time to spare for the banquet, could you please let Princesses attend the banquet and have some fun?"Senior Master replied, "On behalf of the Sheng Family, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Gaomi King Family for your kindness. But Weiqiao and her niece just suffered a lot at the flower-enjoying banquet. I guess that almost everyone has heard about it. Now, the kids living with me are still in a state of shock. It is really inadvisable for them to go out. Ple
Sheng Lanci had known for a long time that Rong Shuihe was not related to Sheng Family by blood and had always believed that Rong Shuihe was a boy of a wealthy family in a region south of the Yangtze River. But now, against all expectations, Rong Shuihe turned out to be the emperor's nephew.What was worse, Rong Shuihe's origin was discovered shortly after Senior Master Sheng had arrived in Chang'an. At that time, Senior Master Sheng was pleased with the news that his eldest grandson had passed the final imperial examination and become the Number One Scholar. And then, he was told that his eldest grandson did not belong to Sheng Family. Thus, Sheng Lanci worried about Senior Master Sheng's health condition. Fearing that Senior Master Sheng's health would be affected by this matter, he admitted to his mistake, asked for punishment, gave his father a few words of comfort, and tried to straighten his father out in the letter.Now, a baby was growing in Madam F
There were some rumours that Gongsun Yingjiang had been soaked in tears and even committed suicide. Meng Bijun paid a visit to Gongsun Yingjiang with concern. Seeing that she was full of energy and in high spirits, the Empress suddenly became even more worried.Worried that Gongsun Yingjiang would be sad, Meng Bijun persuaded her to stop paying attention to what happened on the flower-enjoying banquet. And then she didn't mention it anymore and instead talked to Sheng Weiqiao, "The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon. I visited my aunt yesterday. She was so bored that she wanted to hold a lively and interesting banquet at the Dragon Boat Festival. The venue for the banquet is currently set at Shanglin Palace. You will definitely receive invitations by then, so you have to prepare your outfits quickly!"Sheng Weiqiao was surprised, "What should I prepare?"Seeing that she had memorized her teaching attentively, Meng Bijun nodded slightly and too
Senior Master Sheng felt very annoyed about the visit of the Gaomi King Family. He greatly wanted his granddaughter to stay away from Rong Shuihe, but he didn't expect that Rong Shuihe would dare to come directly to his mansion!The most inordinate thing was that when the Gaomi King couple were chatting with him and Old Madam Ming after expressing their appreciation, Rong Shuihe suddenly interrupted them and said, "Grandfather Sheng, I haven't seen my brothers and sisters for several days. Can we have a chat in the garden?""Of course!" Senior Master Sheng couldn't reject or accuse him in front of everyone. So he had to control his anger and then beckoned to his biological eldest grandson Sheng Weide to order him, "Remember to talk to Prince Mizhen more often and learn from him."At this moment, Senior Master could only hope that Sheng Weide could hinder Rong Shuihe from having a chance to talk with Sheng Weiqiao.But Sheng
Rong Shuihe tried to make excuses and maintain an expression of helplessness, "It is because you guys are here. But if there are only me and Huihe, she may not be so kind. I am not an unprejudiced person, but I do not like to have many disputes with the girls. However, I definitely hope that she can stay away from me."He once told Sheng Weiqiao with a sincere pledge that Gaomi King Family were all hypocrites. They treated him very well in public but insulted him in private. Sheng Weiqiao seriously looked at his face for a while but didn't find something wrong. Although she was a little skeptical, she did not continue to pursue it anymore. She snorted and said, "You are in our mansion now. No matter what kind of grievances between her and you, you can't drive her away so mercilessly. When Gaomi King and Princess Gaomi find out, they may blame us for not helping her. That would be great trouble!"Sheng Weide coughed repeatedly to remind Sheng Weiqiao not to
Hearing that, Madam Qi said, "It is extremely rare to find such a good bridegroom as Shuihe! He is endowed with exceptional good looks and talent. Besides, he is adept with both the pen and the sword and values human ties. Thus, we can never make a perfunctory effort to choose a girl to be his wife. The girl that we get him must be talented, pretty and gentle. Otherwise, she will not be worthy of him."Hearing Madam Qi's words, Princess Gaomi nodded again and again. Seeing that, Madam Qi continued, "But it is rare to find beauties of this kind. Mum, I have been to several places over the past few years and seen a number of outstanding girls from respectable families. But I think that only Jing Shu Princess Huan Yehe can match Shuihe."There was a soft light in Princess Gaomi's eyes as Madam Qi mentioned Huan Yehe. Then, she said and nodded, "Jing Shu? Oh, she is really an excellent girl. She is both beautiful and accomplished. Most importantly, she is endow
Although Princess Gaomi agreed to change the candidate and asked Zhao Taoxuan to live in Gaomi King Mansion for some time to see if she could have a relationship with Rong Shuihe, Zhao Taoxuan couldn't go there with her right away. First of all, she had to pack and bring at least a few belongings with her. Secondly, Old Madam Qin also had to say something to her granddaughter alone. Thirdly, although Old Madam Qin and Princess Gaomi both approved of this engagement, neither of them was dogmatic. If they couldn't get along well with each other finally, making an announcement in advance would burn all their bridges.Therefore, after Princess Gaomi and Old Madam Qin agreed on this thing, the Old Madam called the people of the two branches back and talked with Princess Gaomi as usual.Princess Gaomi greeted everyone with a smile and gave them the meeting gifts one by one, paying special attention to Zhao Taozhuang and Zhao Taoxuan. She found that Zhao Taoxuan w
