In order to marry Zimu, the Duke of Qi's Mansion even offered two betrothal gifts, one to the imperial palace and the other to the Sheng family.

Among the three daughters of the Sheng family, who are very popular in Bian Jing at this time, Zimu, as the daughter of His Majesty and the Queen, is something that ordinary people dare not even think about.

But after Rulan and Minglan presented their betrothal gifts at the Duke of Qi's Mansion, they were quickly engaged to the Earl of Yongchang and the Marquis of Ningyuan, which made those who were still waiting and watching feel heartbroken.

The most popular people in the Sheng family now are Zimu’s two elder brothers, Changbai and Changfeng.

Father Sheng still chose the second daughter of Jiangning Hai family for Changbai. The Sheng family's status was not as good as that of the Hai family, which had five Hanlin scholars.

Old Madam Sheng used the same routine she used when she asked for Madam Wang's hand in marriage for Sheng Hong, and took Zimu and Changbai to visit Old Madam Hai.

As expected, as soon as Changbai appeared, both the old lady and the eldest lady of the Hai family liked this young man with a noble temperament and upright stature.

In particular, the eldest lady of the Hai family treated Changbai as her own son-in-law when she first met him, so it wasn't long before Sheng Changbai got engaged to Hai's second daughter.

One year after Hai entered the family, the marriage of Zimu's biological brother Sheng Changfeng in this life was still the same as in the drama, and it was proposed by the head of the Liu family, who was a former classmate and friend of Sheng's father and was comparable to Hai Shi.

Old Man Sheng and Madam Wang live in harmony, but the one he loves in his heart is Lin Qinshuang, and he pays more attention to Zimu and Changfeng.

Since both sons were equally outstanding and Lin Qinshuang was not considered a concubine in the Sheng family, Old Man Sheng really didn't want to find a wife for Chang Feng that was much inferior to the Hai family. Naturally, when the head of the Liu family personally proposed marriage for his legitimate daughter, Old Man Sheng was delighted.

When Old Man Sheng saw Miss Liu, he felt a little calmer, because compared with his fourth daughter and youngest daughter, Miss Liu was only pretty and attractive.

Old Man Sheng, who was originally worried that Chang Feng might feel aggrieved, was relieved after hearing a few words from his son. Firstly, Liu and Chang Feng could really get along.

Liu's eldest daughter is proficient in everything from playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Even Chang Feng feels that it is not a loss at all to marry such a wife.

Madam Wang and Lin Qinshuang had a very good relationship. Lin Qinshuang was considered Old Man Sheng's second wife. After Hai and Liu came into the family, the two mothers did not make things difficult for their daughters-in-law.

I said it early on that except for the first and fifteenth days when they need to go to the ancestral temple to burn incense, I don't need my daughter-in-law to follow the rules in front of me. She should just live her own life.

Madam Wang's elder sister, Lady Kang, had come to the Sheng family several times before. When Lady Kang proposed to marry Zi Mu to her son, Madam Wang saw through her elder sister and automatically kept her distance from Lady Kang.

The prince born to Empress Cao likes to stick to Zimu the most.

"Sister, hold me~"

As soon as Zimu entered Queen Cao's courtyard, a round, white and tender little ball bumped into him.

Qi Heng, who was standing at the side, picked up the little girl and asked, "Can I hold you?"

"I don't want my brother-in-law to hold me, I want my sister to hold me." Little Tuanzi frowned and asked Zimu: "Does my sister not like me anymore?"

Zimu quickly took the little girl from Qi Heng's arms and explained, "Okay, okay, hold me, I love you the most."

"You're pestering your sister again. You're already six years old and you're still being held in someone's arms. You're really shameless." Empress Cao said to Zimu, "Don't pay attention to him. A prince is almost being spoiled like a princess."

When the little prince heard this, he stopped playing coquettishly with Zimu and struggled to get off the ground and said to Empress Cao seriously, "Mother, I am a man."

Zimu's fourteenth birthday banquet was held in the imperial palace. Because the emperor now had a biological son and was still in good health, all the royal family members had been very honest over the years and no one dared to think of anything unnecessary.

Gu Tingye finally joined the army. In his own words, after much consideration, he decided that wielding swords and sticks was more suitable for him.

On Zimu's fourteenth birthday, he solemnly asked the emperor for the imperial edict that he and the emperor had agreed upon when they were children and which had never been published.

The emperor thought that his daughter had already been engaged, and now he hesitated for a long time thinking about the imperial edict.

The next day, the imperial edict that had been sealed for seven years arrived at Princess Jinyang's mansion. When Qi Heng heard that his fiancée was about to lead the Yulin Guards to war, he ran to the princess's mansion despite Princess Pingning's obstruction.

"Brother Yuan Ruo"

Qi Heng looked at Zimu, who was facing him with his back to the light. It was exactly the same scene as when they first met.

Qi Heng didn't want to recall the past, so he stepped forward, grabbed Zi Mu's arm tightly and held her in his arms, his face full of anxiety and worry.

"Zi Mu, can you please not go? The swords on the battlefield are too dangerous."

Zi Mu gently hugged Qi Heng's waist with both hands and smiled to comfort him: "Brother Yuanruo, don't worry, I have martial arts skills, and even if things get worse, I still have firearms, so nothing will happen."

Qi Heng was still worried: "But..."

"Brother Yuanruo, this is the agreement between me and His Majesty, and it is also my responsibility and obligation as a princess." Zimu looked at him firmly, "Besides, I also want to do my part for our dynasty."

Qi Heng knew that once Zimu made up his mind, he would not change it. He sighed helplessly: "I will wait for you to return safely. Zimu, you must return safely."

Zi Mu teased Qi Heng with a smile: "Brother Yuan Ruo said this as if she were a young wife sending her newlywed husband off to war."

"If you want, I can marry you when you come back safely."

"Hahahaha, if the princess knew you said that, she would be mad to death. But, Brother Yuanruo, wait for me to return triumphantly and then marry me, okay?" Zimu gave him a reassuring smile.

"Okay, I'll marry you when you come back."

-----------------

Before Zimu led the Yulin Guards and the female doctor he had trained for many years to go to war, Gu Tingye also appeared at the city gate with a team of people.

Zimu looked at Gu Tingye in surprise, and then looked at the Sheng family and the Qiguogong family of three in the crowd.

Liang Han was busy trying to comfort Rulan, who had a sad face.

After Zimu dismounted and said his final goodbyes to his family, the Emperor and Empress Cao appeared on the city wall to boost morale.

"Fourth sister, we will wait for you to come back."

"Mo girl, take good care of yourself."

"Don't worry, my brother and sister-in-law are here to take care of everything at home."

……

-----------------

"Why are you here too?" Zimu and Gu Tingye, one the commander-in-chief of Yulin Guards and the other the commander-in-chief of Gu Family Army, rode their horses side by side.

"You are my future mistress. Are you worried about your sixth sister?" Gu Tingye said with a proud look on his face.

He knew that Zimu had been prevented from getting close to Minglan several times by the Gu family's inner house, so this was a rare opportunity to show himself in front of his future aunt, and he would definitely not let it go.

“……”Gu Tingye is indeed annoying.
