Gu Yingxue was very supportive: "Sister Zhen, you're right! My father is my mother's perfect match. Don't settle for just anyone. You have to wait for the right person. Otherwise, I'd rather be alone for the rest of my life!"
Princess Jinghe nodded: "Xue'er, you've hit the nail on the head!"
Gu Xin asked with a smile, "Then Sister Zhen, you really don't want to know who I found out about? Don't you want to know how I found out?"
Princess Jinghe shook her finger: "No need to guess, it's definitely Hu Liang. I don't like him; he's not handsome enough. It wouldn't be fun if all you sisters each had a good-looking young man, while mine was lacking!"
Gu Nian smiled and asked, "Then, Sister Zhen, do you think Qian Liang is pretty?"
Princess Jinghe thought about it seriously: "Judging by appearance alone, if this pretty boy Huo Junhao hadn't participated in the imperial examination, then the third-ranked scholar would definitely have been the one with more money and provisions. Our emperor likes fair-skinned people, and their knowledge is about the same, so the emperor chose Huo Junhao. The one with more money and provisions didn't become the third-ranked scholar because he's a bit too tanned."
Gu Nian then asked, "What about your temperament?"
Princess Jinghe said, "The temperament of a scholar! That's what I dislike the most. If he could be like my second uncle, with the elegance of a scholar and the spirit of a military general, that would be even better."
After saying that, she glanced at Gu Nian: "Niannian, what do you mean? Are you saying that Qian Liang is in love with me? Does he dare? He's always been afraid of me. Every time he sees me, he avoids me. If I don't call out to him, he pretends not to see me. Does he dare to be in love with me?"
Gu Xin laughed: "Hahaha, he's so daring! I found him!"
Princess Jinghe: "!"
Gu Xin said very seriously, "It's true, Sister Zhen. I have evidence. Before Uncle Kang and the others came, every time you came back from your leave, Brother Qian would quickly go back to change his clothes and tidy himself up after finishing his duties."
When you went to the Goddess Kingdom with your eldest sister and He Sanjie, every time the Peng family heard news of you, Brother Qian would subtly ask Dad. He would cautiously tell Dad that you often ate at our house and treated us all like younger sisters, which is why he cared about your eldest sister. Haha, I ran into him once, and his face turned as red as an apple, all the way to his ears.
And another thing, you said he pretended not to see you, that's because he's shy. He finished every single drawing you asked him to make. This year, when you weren't home for the New Year, he drew all the grand scenes of Kuncheng during the holiday. Huo Shentong even muttered that he was a drawing maniac. He asked my sister and me for advice on drawing portraits with charcoal pencils, and we asked him why he drew so many. He said he was afraid that next time the princess would ask him to draw, he wouldn't have time because he was busy, so he drew the princess first.
When we returned from the Goddess Kingdom, Brother Qian was secretly wiping away tears, which I saw. Later, when the Goddess Kingdom was in turmoil, you went there again. He made the mistakes he was worried about. Luckily, my father wasn't there, or he would definitely have been scolded.
He had a novel hidden in his room, a storybook that Renren had commissioned to be written, called "The Fierce Princess and the Poor Scholar"! Don't ask me how I know, because Renren told me. Renren said that Brother Qian was the most discerning person in the government office, and he collected this masterpiece, a work of painstaking effort!
So, Sister Zhen, Brother Qian isn't afraid to admire you, he's just afraid to tell you! Oh, I remember now, Brother Qian once encouraged a student at school, telling him, "Do what you love, do it well, and one day someone will see it."
