Traveling to ancient times to become a princess, she wins every step of the way

Her beauty is known throughout the country.

When I was young, people from several neighboring countries sent me to ask for my hand in marriage.

Unfortunately, she never agreed.

Both the late emperor and the current empress dowager loved their daughters dearly. At that time, Dongling was very powerful, so there was no need for her to marry in order to maintain peace.

So he let her choose her favorite consort according to her temper.

Unexpectedly, fate has its way with people.

There are many romantic young men in the world, and among them, this one is attracted by Chu Shenzhi, the new top scorer in that year.

At the banquet hosted by the late emperor for the third class, Chu Shenzhi also fell in love with the beautiful and talented eldest princess at first sight.

The princess and the number one scholar should have been a good story.

It was a pity that Chu Shenzhi had already started a family and married a wife at home in Jiangzhou.

Chu Shenzhi is also aware of his status and situation. Every time he meets the eldest princess on any occasion, he deliberately alienates her and hides his love for her in his heart.

In the end, the eldest princess couldn't help but miss him, so she stopped him on the road personally and asked him if he liked her and why he was always so cold to her.

Chu Shenzhi almost couldn't hold back at that time and poured out his love for her.

In the end his reason triumphed over his emotions.

Chu Shenzhi confided to the eldest princess that he had already married a wife, and told her very coldly that in his heart, he only had his wife, and he would not be tempted by any other woman.

After learning about this, the eldest princess became depressed and unhappy all day long.

In fact, Chu Shenzhi's wife was ordered by his parents and a matchmaker. A few days after marrying her, he embarked on the road to obtain fame. He and her first wife did not have a deep relationship.

He treated the eldest princess like that just because he didn't want to ruin her reputation.

Throughout the ages, there are many people who once were the top picks in high school, stopped their wives and remarried in order to pursue a better life.

But Chu Shenzhi came from a scholarly family, so he couldn't do such an outrageous thing.

What's more, he knew that although he went out to take the exam, he had a lot of hardships along the way.

But compared to his wife, who took care of the family and served his parents as a filial piety, the hardships he endured were nothing.

In this way, the two people who were extremely matched in the eyes of the late emperor and the current queen mother did not get together because Chu Shenzhi had already married.

The eldest princess was depressed and lost for a long time before she came out of her obsession with Chu Shenzhi.

But from then on, she seemed like a different person.

The most charming and smiling eldest princess, the apple of the late emperor's eye, turned into an old girl who was indifferent to people and things, and had no interest in anything.

She liked to entertain guests, so she ordered the princess palace to be closed to guests, and she moved to a courtyard outside Duqi City, where she lived a life of seclusion.

For the first month or two, the late emperor thought she had the temper of a little girl and did not blame her.

Instead, he urged Emperor Dongling, who was still the crown prince at the time, to take time to visit his eldest sister.

The next one or two years of cardamom life were wasted by her like that.

The late emperor was furious, and Long Yan was furious.

He immediately called Chu Shenzhi to the front of the palace and asked him what he meant to his eldest daughter! ?

In the past two years, Chu Shenzhi had been secretly waiting for the eldest princess.

Every time he took a break, he would disguise himself and go out of the city to find an inn to stay for one night near the eldest princess's villa.

Although he never dared to appear in front of her, every time he looked in the direction of the other courtyard and stayed up all night.

The Long Shadow Guard sent by the late emperor to secretly protect the eldest princess would naturally report all these things to him.

Chu Shenzhi didn't know that all his actions had been known to the late emperor.

In the main hall, facing the questioning of the father and younger brother of his beloved woman, Chu Shenzhi revealed his feelings to others for the first time.

He admires the eldest princess, but he dare not approach her because he thinks he is not worthy!

He is not qualified for that!

Even the late emperor, whose hands had been stained with the blood of countless enemy soldiers, had a moment of soft-heartedness and sympathy when he saw the young man he admired so much kneeling in the hall crying.

Even more, I admire him for being able to maintain an innocent heart towards his first wife despite the overwhelming wealth and wealth right in front of him.

However, after being moved, the late emperor became furious!

Did his eldest daughter live like a nun just for such a useless person? ?

Where did he leave his father? !

After a while, the late emperor issued an order in front of Chu Shenzhi for the eldest princess to get married to the prince of Nanting.

The eldest princess never thought that her father, who had held her in his hands since childhood, would treat her like this.

What made her even more miserable was that on the day the imperial edict arrived, it was snowing heavily and chilling to the bones.

The person who went to stand in front of her in the other courtyard and announced the decree to her was not the late emperor's chamberlain, but Chu Shenzhi, who was the cabinet scholar at the time.

At that time, Chu Shenzhi was holding an orange-yellow imperial edict and standing in the snowy courtyard. His fair cheeks were turned red by the wind and snow, but the redness was not one ten thousandth of the scarlet color in his eyes.

The moment she received the imperial edict, the eldest princess was devastated. With tears in her eyes, she looked up at Chu Shenzhi who was so close but out of reach, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Master Chu."

After those words, the eldest princess followed the order and went to Nanting to get married without saying a word.

It's been ten years since she left.

In those ten years, Chu Shenzhi went from being a bachelor in the cabinet to becoming a prince and tutor on a par with Su. He was responsible for teaching Emperor Dongling's studies and answering questions about life.

In those ten years, Chu Shenzhi was diligent, loyal and patriotic, and accepted many students from poor families as his disciples. He also brought his parents and first wife to Du Qicheng.

It was also during those ten years that he had a daughter with his wife, Chu Yan.

The eldest princess gave birth to her eldest son with the Prince of Nanting, who is now the Prince of Nanting, Nangong Yun (yun).

Maybe it's God's will.

Just when the two of them were thinking about each other, they had to face the reality of life.

Chu Shenzhi's wife suddenly suffered from an emergency and was bedridden overnight. He searched for medicine for her, but nothing worked.

Just before his wife passed away, she told Chu Shenzhi that not long ago, she had asked someone to send a letter, and the envelope had the words "Dangling Princess" written on it.

Only then did he realize that his wife had known for a long time that the person in his heart was not her, but the eldest princess.

Chu Shenzhi buried his first wife with a guilty heart, but he never thought that the letter she sent to Nanting before her death would actually bring him the woman he had buried in his heart all his life.

That day, the sun was shining brightly. Chu Shenzhi retreated from the court, holding his daughter Chu Yan in his arms and teaching her how to read. When he looked up, he saw the eldest princess bathing in the golden sunshine.

That's right, after Long Yun saw the letter from Chu Shenzhi's wife entrusting her husband and daughter to her, she left Nanting where she had lived for ten years without any hesitation and returned to Dongling.
