Xie Shaoling's son is an exception!
The interpersonal relationships between the Marquis of Zhongyong's family and the Minister of Rites' family were much simpler than those between the Gu family.
In terms of family background, appearance, and ability, they are a perfect match.

"Among your study companions, is Wu Zemin, the prefect of Beiping, about the same age as Jing Shu?" the emperor asked again.
