Chapter 324: Fighting for the Top Scholar



"Yes, if he changes his mind, I will leave him and find another talented young man. With my status, intelligence and beauty, and as the legitimate daughter of the King of Zhenbei, I can choose from any talented young man in the entire capital."

Murong Shuo immediately persuaded Gao Zhijun. He wanted to help his sister cancel the engagement immediately and then bring young talents from the capital to his sister for her to choose from.

"What my second brother means is what I mean. If Huo Jinqian betrays my sister, we will help her break off the engagement and help her choose a good husband."

Murong Fu also began to express his opinion that he would never let his sister suffer any injustice.

As much as Liu Ningchu liked Huo Jinqian just now, she now hates him as much.

"This may be a misunderstanding. It's just wishful thinking on the part of those women. Jin Qian can't possibly like those delicate ladies."

Hong Qiujue comforted Gao Zhijun, fearing that she would misunderstand.

Jinqian is not the kind of person who is easily bored with the old and loves new things.

She knew very well the character of the son she raised.

"My daughter-in-law is right. Don't worry, Jinqian is not that kind of person. He is kind-hearted and loyal. He will never change his mind easily. He has liked Zhijun for so long, it is impossible for him to stop loving her."

"Sixth sister-in-law, those women are just wishful thinking. It's impossible for Sixth Brother to like them. Don't you understand how Sixth Brother feels about you? He wants to spend his life with you, so how could he change his mind so easily?"

Huo Jinxiu comforted Gao Zhijun and analyzed the situation for her.

"You all misunderstood. I'm not unhappy, nor do I distrust him. If he really changes his mind, becomes ungrateful, and wants to marry another woman, I will automatically withdraw. I hope you won't try to stop me, and I won't vent your anger on him. A forced melon won't be sweet. If he doesn't love me anymore, let him go."

Gao Zhijun felt warm in her heart when she saw that everyone was worried about her and cared about her.

In this world, besides love, there is also family affection, not to mention that she doesn't think it is love. Nothing is more precious than family affection.

Seeing that they wanted to say something else, Gao Zhijun called everyone to eat: "Okay, let's continue eating? Otherwise the food will get cold."

Everyone had to agree that the delicious food suddenly became difficult to swallow.

The servants went back to call their master, and when the master heard it, he immediately came over in a carriage.

Since their daughter liked the top scholar, they snatched him away and made him their daughter's husband.

The custom of ministers competing for the top scholar has always existed, and many top scholars have agreed to it. After all, if he can get close to a minister in the court, his career will be smooth sailing, saving him decades of hard work!

When they arrived, Huo Jinqian had already ridden past the Hongfu Restaurant and was almost at the palace.

The ladies and girls who had just tried to rob Huo Jinqian also left the restaurant and followed closely behind.

When the ministers came to Huo Jinqian and saw that it was Huo Jinqian, they were all embarrassed.

This number one scholar was not something they could dream of, as he was Princess Xiangyun's fiancé.

Princess Xiangyun, the emperor's favorite, the people's respected, the benefactor of Daliang, who dares to offend her? Who dares to steal her husband?

"Dad, the man my daughter wants to marry is him, today's top scholar?"

"Dad, my daughter wants to marry the girl. You have to help me snatch her away, otherwise I will never marry."

"Father, you are the Marquis, you must help your daughter win the top prize!"

…………

Those young ladies pulled their fathers and started to speak coquettishly.

They all believed that as long as they used their trump card, their father would agree.

"Nonsense! How can you marry the number one scholar? He is Princess Xiangyun's fiancé."

The ministers scolded angrily.

If it were someone else, they would definitely help their daughter find a husband.

He was none other than Princess Xiangyun's fiancé, and no one dared to offend Princess Xiangyun.

"What? He is Princess Xiangyun's fiancé?"

Not only did the young ladies not believe it, even the ladies did not believe it.

It's no wonder they didn't believe it. At the original banquet, men and women were separated by a screen. Later, when they played pot-throwing, everyone's focus was on Princess Xiangyun and the Second Princess, and they paid even less attention to Huo Jinqian.

When some ladies and young ladies heard about Princess Xiangyun, they stopped their commotion. Although they felt unwilling, they had no choice but to accept it. After all, Princess Xiangyun was not an ordinary princess. Her status was special and they could not compare.

Some young ladies, however, did not think so. They looked down on princesses of different surnames who came from rural areas. Although she was favored by the emperor and loved by the people, she had no real power and could not compare with their family backgrounds.

When Huo Jinqian was stopped by those ministers at first, he looked confused and unhappy, not knowing what they wanted to do.

Later, he heard that those ministers were the fathers of the young ladies behind him, and that they had stopped him because they wanted to take him back to marry their daughters. His face instantly turned black, and a raging fire burned in his heart, turning him into a violent rage.

It was because of their daughter that Zhijun misunderstood him. He was anxious and wanted it to be over quickly so that he could go back and explain and comfort her.

"Dad, my daughter wants to marry him. I don't care what method you use, I just want him to marry me!"

"Dad, she's a princess from the countryside, why are you afraid of her? Even if she is a princess, she's not a presentable princess, how can she be as precious as a daughter?"

"Dad, the top scholar is handsome and knowledgeable. Don't you want your daughter to marry him? With the top scholar joining us, our family will become even stronger."

The young ladies who looked down on Gao Zhijun asked their father to help them win Huo Jinqian.

"Nonsense! If you keep talking nonsense, you will be punished by family rules!"

My goodness, you actually dare to speak ill of Princess Xiangyun, are you looking for death?

"Master Huo, I'm sorry, we didn't know you were the top scorer. Please forgive me for any offense I caused you just now!"

"Yes, it was because of my youth and ignorance that I offended Mr. Huo. I hope you will forgive her because of her young age."

"My daughter just bumped into Mr. Huo. I apologize on her behalf. I hope Mr. Huo will be magnanimous and not hold it against her."

The fathers of those young ladies flattered Huo Jinqian and used moral blackmail against him.
