The husband who forced her to marry her couldn't keep her warm, and she didn't want him to

So many things happened in late September and early October that the emperor's decree granting marriage was gradually forgotten, instead of being surprising at first.

What happened next was simply too explosive.

First, the eldest prince brought the imperial reward and baggage to Sanjiang Fort to comfort the generals and soldiers who were defending there.

Then the imperial examination results were invalidated and the emperor personally questioned them.

And today is the day when the results of the palace examination will be announced.

In Qianweilou, Gu Jinchu and the eldest princess sat in a private room facing the street this time.

"Chu Jie'er, didn't you see how lively this street became after my uncle won the first place in the imperial examination? It was simply bustling with people!"

As Zhao Xuan spoke, she pulled Gu Jinchu to the window and pointed at the street outside.

"At that time, the streets were crowded with people, and many girls had been waiting here since morning just to see their uncle!"

Gu Jinchu listened to Zhao Xuan's vivid description and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What happened next?"

"Later..." Zhao Xuan suddenly paused, as if she remembered something, and smiled awkwardly:

"Those ladies are actually concerned about my uncle's appearance..." She stopped talking and showed a hint of helplessness on her face.

It is such a rare thing for her to find a close friend who is compatible with her in all aspects.

How did she become her aunt?

It is still difficult to adapt to Gu Jinchu's future identity.

Gu Jinchu stood by the window and looked down.

Although she had never seen the grand scene of Jiang Nansheng being paraded through the streets after becoming the top scholar, she could still imagine how high-spirited he was at that time.

Thinking of this, even if I lived two lives, I would still have regrets in my heart.

She had never seen him at many times, and she had not been with him to experience them.

Even though I was filled with emotion, I was still shocked by what I saw.

"Oh my God, Princess, come here quickly!" Gu Jinchu covered her mouth when she saw the top scholar coming up. She was surprised and shocked.

Zhao Xuan shook off the snack crumbs in her hand, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and walked to the window.

"What's so good about it? My uncle is a rare genius that only appears once in a few hundred years. The last number one scholar was an old man..."

She said the last few words dryly, and was as surprised as Gu Jinchu. She pointed at the man in red on the tall horse and asked:

"Chu Jie'er, was that your third cousin who raced with us last time?"

I saw him looking up at me, but for some reason he looked away.

Gu Jinchu nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, he is really patient!"

On the day of presenting the betrothal gifts, Jiang Nansheng said that his two cousins ​​would definitely achieve great things in the future.

The fact that they passed the palace examination at the same time made their grandfather as happy as a child.

If the two old people knew that their grandson had won the top spot in the imperial examination, they would be so happy.

Zhao Xuan thought of Zheng Kaicheng, who was riding a tall horse in the crowd, wearing a red robe as the top scholar, and for some reason she thought of Zuo Hongwen again.

Ever since she knew that he was the orphan of King Cheng, she seldom thought about him.

She didn't even ask about his final fate.

The only thing I remember is that he was a young man with great ambitions.

But she never thought that everything he wanted her to see was tailor-made for her according to her preferences.

Seeing the crowd go away, Gu Jinchu turned back to sit in his chair. Seeing Zhao Xuan sitting opposite him, he asked gloomily:

"What's wrong? Didn't you ask me to accompany you to the street to choose a son-in-law, but you seem to have no interest in it?"

Zhao Xuan heard this and stuffed the candied fruit on the plate into her mouth, muttering, "It's rare to have a lover, and a life without love is not necessarily imperfect."

Her father has so many concubines, how many of them can he really care about?

Even if I gain his favor, how long will it last?

Within that red wall, the only thing that holds the relationship together is interest.

She couldn't say these words to Chu Jie'er.

Although she is older than Gu Jinchu, she will be considered her elder when she marries into the Jiang family in the future.

Thinking that in just over a month, her only friend would also be trapped in the backyard.

Now that I can no longer have a fun outing like this, I feel very depressed.

I couldn't help but think of the thrill of galloping on the horse field that day, and the Luo brothers and sisters I saw that day.

"Chu Jie'er, why don't you see Miss Wan'er?"

Gu Jinchu came out today to send a note to the Luo family. He smiled and replied, "General Luo went to Sanjiang City, and Wan'er is at home with his mother and grandmother."

The eldest princess just asked casually and didn't continue.

When the two came out of Qianweilou, an uncertain voice sounded not far away, "Yongle?"

Yongle was Zhao Xuan's title, and the only people who could call her that were people from the palace and the Jiang family, her maternal family.

The two looked towards the source of the sound and saw a young man wearing a jade crown and a vermilion gown standing alone on the stone steps of Qianwei Tower.

Gu Jinchu recognized that this person was the Sixth Prince Zhao Kuo.

Because she was wearing light men's clothes today, she bowed and said, "Sixth Master."

Zhao Xuan looked at him and frowned slightly, "How come you have no manners and are so disrespectful as soon as you leave home?"

She is four years older than this sixth brother.

Zhao Kuo grinned and said, "I was too anxious just now and didn't know what to call you. Sixth brother, please don't argue with your younger brother."

When Zhao Xuan heard his address, her relaxed brows gathered together again. What Sixth Brother!

In the blink of an eye, she was the eldest daughter of her father, the emperor, with five older brothers. If we rank them, she is indeed her father's sixth child.

She was wearing men's clothes today, so it seemed right for Zhao Kuo to call her Sixth Brother.

Only his mother always felt that his life was pitiful.

Her sixth brother is very clever.

"Where are Sixth Brother and Brother Gu going? I heard that Mingxiang Pavilion is very lively today. Do you want to go and taste tea together?"

When Gu Jinchu heard the Sixth Prince Zhao Kuo's proposal, he couldn't help but look up at him.

Even if he didn't say it, she was planning to invite the eldest princess to go to Mingxiang Pavilion together.

Otherwise, why would I be wearing men's clothes today for convenience?

If you don't look closely, they look like two handsome young men. Among the talented scholars in Mingxiang Pavilion, they are inconspicuous.

The topics are today's most popular top three and second place.

As expected, Gu Jinchu heard someone mention Jiang Nansheng, the fifth master of the Jiang family.

What the group of people said next made Princess Zhao Xuan's face change again and again.

Gu Jinchu held her hand, shook his head, and motioned for her to continue listening.
