At the beginning of the coming-of-age ceremony, Zimu and Shaoshang's dignified and graceful image was once again established in the minds of various noble families and officials. Compared with the original heroic women who were as good as men, the appearance of the two sisters this time was even more noticeable.

The two sisters were as beautiful as fairies in the sky, each with her own unique beauty. Even the daughters of officials who had never seen them felt inferior to them.

General He and Madam He were fine as they were more grateful and proud to see their two daughters come of age. Only Emperor Wen cried as much as he did in front of General Huo Chong's portrait.

Empress Xuan and Empress Yue were unable to stop Emperor Wen and felt that this was too shameful.

When Wen Zirui and Huo Buyi proposed to Zimu and Shaoshang at the banquet, Emperor Wen refuted their proposal before Madam He and General He even opened their mouths.

"Zi Rui and Zi Sheng, what are you two asking for? Asking for a marriage?"

"Father, I..."

"His Majesty……"

"You two, stop being so arrogant. Don't you realize how much older you two are than Zimu and Zijin? When you were running around and causing trouble everywhere, Zimu and Zijin were not even born yet. How dare you do that?"

The noble families and civil and military officials at the banquet were silent. They had already warned their sons and nephews not to covet these two princesses of different surnames.

With such talents and the rights granted by His Majesty, there is a high probability that they will marry into the royal family in the end.

The fact that Wen Zirui and Huo Buyi proposed marriage in public today proved that their guess was correct, but they never thought that the first person to jump out to stop it would be Emperor Wen.

All the civil and military officials in the court and the heads of various families were somewhat confused about the development of the situation.

"Father" "Your Majesty"

"Zi Rui, as a prince, you will definitely have many concubines in the future. I don't want my Zi Mu to be trapped in the backyard with a group of girls and waste his life."

"And you, Zisheng, as the only blood of Brother Huo, you have the responsibility to rebuild the Huo family. Zijin was weak since childhood and almost died young. It was He Yong and his wife, me and the two queens who carefully raised him. The doctor said that it would be difficult for Zijin to have children in the future. You also know that. What do you mean by asking for it now?"

Emperor Wen scolded his favorite son and his most beloved adopted son equally. Looking at his two beautiful adopted daughters and then at the two boys, he became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it.

"Father, the Emperor, will only marry He Zhaojun in this life. If she wants to go to court, we will go together. If she is needed to go to war, I will go to the battlefield with her. I will not let her be trapped in the back house and waste her years. I don't want anyone else except her."

"Your Majesty, Zisheng is the same as the Third Prince. He will not marry anyone except He Shaoshang Zisheng."

Emperor Wen was very pleased but he didn't show it on his face. He quietly looked at the faces of He Yong and his wife and the officials of the Cui family and continued to ask them, "You think I can safely hand over Zimu and Zijin to you with just a promise?"

"Father, I can ask for an imperial decree. Zirui only wants Zimu in this life. If anyone else appears and makes Zimu unhappy, let Zimu take out the imperial decree to break off the engagement and demote me to a commoner."

After the Third Prince finished speaking, all the officials in the venue gasped. You know, there are two queens, Xuan and Yue, in the harem now, and all the children born to them are legitimate.

Although Emperor Wen had not yet appointed a crown prince, everyone in the court knew that the two candidates for the crown prince were between the eldest prince and the third prince.

Wen Zirui's proposal for marriage now can be said to have directly reduced the possibility of his seizing the throne to the lowest level. Since ancient times, there has been no emperor with only one empress. Even if it is not for the stability of the court, it is necessary to prevent the future dictatorship of foreign relatives.

"It's the same for me. There is more than one way to revive the Huo family. There was no Huo family a few hundred years ago. If Zijin doesn't want to have children, we can adopt some orphans left over from the war, give them the surname Huo, and raise them as our children. This will also help revive the Huo family."

Huo Buyi gave his family a bargaining chip and said, "If your majesty and the uncle and aunt of the He family are worried about Zisheng, he can marry into Shaoshang's family. The children we adopt in the future can also have the surname Huo."

Emperor Wen still wanted to add fuel to the fire for his two sons.

This time, before he could even open his mouth, He Yong spoke up: "Your Majesty, I agree. Since the Third Prince has requested the imperial decree, I will not hold it hostage anymore. I am also relieved to marry Zimu to the Third Prince. Prince Huo is the only bloodline of General Huo Chong. Given the friendship between me and General Huo Chong, I cannot let Zisheng marry into the family. If my two daughters have no objection, I will agree to your marriage proposal."

Everyone at the banquet shifted their gaze from Huo Buyi and Wen Zirui to Zimu and Shao Shang, as if they couldn't miss any opportunity to get something to eat.

"Father, Empress, Mother, Father and Mother, your daughter is willing." Two crisp voices spread throughout the palace.

For a moment, both the parties involved and the onlookers were particularly harmonious.

The eldest branch of the Cheng family, who sat at the bottom because of their low official position, were also sincerely happy for Shao Shang.

The third son of the Cheng family had a simple idea: as long as his sister was safe and happy.

The dirty deeds done by the second wife of the Cheng family, Mrs. Ge, and the old lady also spread in a small circle in the capital. In short, it was difficult for Cheng Ling to marry into the capital or a noble family like in the TV dramas.

For many years afterwards, Zimu and Shaoshang were together no matter in battle or other matters. Wen Zirui and Huo Buyi were also together for life as they had said when they proposed to each other.

The eldest prince is indeed a very benevolent crown prince, with the same personality as Queen Xuan. He is also accompanied by his virtuous wife, Qu Lingjun, who is the daughter of an aristocratic family. He is not as mediocre as he is in the drama.

In addition, after he was named the crown prince, the people around him were replaced. Wen Zirui, Huo Buyi and Lou Ben also assisted him wholeheartedly after he ascended the throne, and he became a wise monarch with both kindness and majesty.

At the last moment of her life, Shao Shang held her husband and Zi Mu and murmured, "Sister, thank you, sister. Today I can finally understand what would happen if you didn't take me back... Sister, your life was too hard."

"Luckily, I have my sister and Zisheng. My husband, you have to take good care of the children and see them get married and have children... It's too dark ahead, so I'll go scout the way for my sister and husband first."

After Shao Shang's death, Huo Buyi followed Shao Shang's instructions step by step. He watched his youngest child get married and have children, and then followed Shao Shang one sunny afternoon.

After Wen Zirui and Zimu helped the Huo children deal with Huo Buyi's funeral, Zimu's body in this world also reached its limit, and his organs were rapidly deteriorating.

"Husband..."

Wen Zirui seemed to sense that Zimu was about to leave, so he quietly sat beside Zimu and hugged her: "Yes, I'm here."

"It is my great fortune to meet my husband in this life. It is great to have you."

"It is a great honor for me to meet you, Madam. Are you sleepy?"

"kind of……"

"Let's go, it's time for a nap."

"it is good"

Four years after Shao Shang's death, Huo Buyi and Wen Zirui passed away at the same time half a month apart.

The whole country was in mourning that year, and the people spontaneously mourned the three people for a year, just like the year Shao Shang died.
