Chapter 47.3
Shen Huyang looked indifferent, Thats why Third Brother started looking around for a scholar who is willing to join him. If it wasnt for the loyalty of that person Grandfather left you, I wouldnt have known that Third Brother was actually eyeing my marriage.
Speaking of that, the hint of relaxation on Shen Huans face also completely disappeared, Im the one who got Sister into trouble. If it wasnt for me
Even if it werent for you, I still wouldnt have been able to make my own decisions about my marriage.
Well just leave it up to fate
Shen Huyang looked down at the people who were talking and laughing together, Ive been watching a lot of Jurens these days, and theyre pretty much the same Since Father Emperor decided to look for a son-in-law for me this time, its the same no matter who I choose.
Its just a matter of mutual respect. Either way, with my status as a princess, even if I dont have a good relationship with my husband, I would still be able to live a comfortable life.
She was born as a princess without the protection of a biological mother, and although she had a younger brother, it only made it harder and harder for the two of them to live in the palace.
Shen Huyang was not favored and neither was her younger brother. She was fine; being a woman, at most, she would only be subjected to the ridicule and sarcasm of the other princesses. But her younger brother was different. He was a prince; as soon as he was born, he was a thorn in some peoples side. Losing their mothers protection didnt lead to people showing them mercy, instead, they became more and more unscrupulous.
They grew up, alive and well, but if they didnt start to fight back, based on the nature of their brothers, no matter who gets the throne in the future, they wouldnt be able to live well. So why not fight?
The expression of the man on the other side, who still had some youthfulness in his features, became obscure, Im the one who got Sister involved.
Because he was a prince, others wouldnt let his sister marry a husband with a good family background.
Thus this time, the choices for Shen Huyangs husband were very few. They had almost exhausted all the connections left by their maternal grandfather, but this time, none of the jurens with good grades and were of appropriate age managed to enter the eyes of the two.
They were born as a prince and a princess, so even if they were bullied, the education they received made it difficult for them to take interest in an average person.
Just thinking that his wonderful sister, because of him, could only marry a random person, he clenched his fists tightly as determination flashed in his eyes.
He must get the throne and protect his sisters health for the rest of her life!
Someone hurriedly came upstairs and approached the two, Fifth Highness, someone has come with a letter.
Shen Huyang saw the anxiety on the guards face and told her brother, Go to the private room. Ill stay and look around a bit more.
Okay. Im going to go in first, you guys, stay and protect the princess.
Yes!
Seeing her younger brother leave, Shen Huyangs expression was somber as well.
She was a woman and had lived in the palace since she was born. How could she not have imagined, if she gets married in the future, what her husband would look like, what kind of conduct would he have, whether he was really talented, or whether he was willing to treat her well?
But she just didnt expect to be married off in such a hurry.
Right now, the imperial rankings havent been published yet, but during this time, her younger brother has already searched out those Jurens who scored good results with the connections left by their maternal grandfather. There were also some good ones, but generally, they had already married early while the remaining ones Though there were no problems with their academic knowledge, everything else was very mediocre.
Shen Huyang sighed, a bitter smile hung on the corner of her mouth.
What else do you expect? She and her younger brother didnt have their biological mother anymore, so they were lucky enough to have grown up safely. Asking for too much would only add to their sadness.
She was about to turn around and leave when two young gentlemen walked in.
Thats good, I thought that Brother Hus expression was a sign that we were not welcome Come, Brother Lin, sit down quickly! Brother Hu has invited us to sit with him!
Hu Chuan, who did not extend an invitation:
Just now, several Jurens had already sent their greetings and left, but at the moment, there were still scholars coming and going all around. So with this many pairs of eyes watching, he really couldnt directly try to get rid of them.
It was fine if Zhao He just planned to sit down, but his mouth kept on chattering, Brother Hu, I heard you vomited blood yesterday? I was very worried after hearing that and couldnt bear to wait before coming to see you right away. By the way, from what Brother Lin told me, I heard you liked the hotpot base from my house? In that case, Ive brought some for you today.
He took out a small box and handed it to Hu Chuan.
Brother Hu, this is unique to my house. And youve already seen it before during the test, so naturally,click you know how delicious it tastes, dont you?
Hu Chuan looked at the little box on the table with a sullen face, and immediately remembered how he had been miserably tortured by its fragrance during the exam.
As he was struggling to write, the fragrance wafted by his nose.
As he was eating rice congee, the fragrance wafted by his nose.
As he was sleeping, it was still that same fragrance!
Every time he opened his eyes and drooled because of the aroma in his sleep, he would think about how nice it would have been if he had accepted it when Lin Shiheng said he wanted to gift it to him. Even within his dreams, he was surrounded by the aroma, night after night.
However, although he could smell it every day, he just wasnt able to eat it.
Thinking of those days of holding back, Hu Chuan clenched his fists in a death grip, while next to his ears, Zhao He asked him extremely affectionately again, Brother Hu, you havent answered me yet. Yes or no?
Hu Chuan gritted his teeth, Yes.
Thats great. Here, put it away. Were classmates, so its only right that we look after each other.
Damn you, classmate!!
Hu Chuan endured so much anger that he had to take a few vigorous gasps. Zhao He quickly y leaned over with concern, Brother Hu, why do you look so pale? Youre not going to vomit blood again, are you? Quick, quick, Ill pour you a cup of tea to suppress it!
Ill be fine after a bit.
Lin Shiheng smiled and lowered his eyes slightly. He picked up the teapot with a pair of white hands. First, he moved the teacup forward, then aligned the teapots spout and slowly poured out a cup of tea.
Brother Hu, please.
Hu Chuan stared at him, this was the exact same pose the other made when he moved the bowl of soup to make him hungry during the middle of the exam. Hu Chuans chest choked with a fierce tightness.
He stiffly picked up the cup.
Many thanks.
Dont mention it.
Lin Shiheng looked up and smiled at him.
This landed in Shen Huyangs eyes, who was watching them from above, and she was slightly startled.
He really was a pure and innocent gentleman.
