Of course, there was nothing to say about the Liu family, but the entire capital's powerful and wealthy families were talking about it. After all, the bride-to-be was a rumored figure, Wu Yiming, who had been rumored to have an affair with the emperor. Now, her wedding was being arranged by the empress's family, which truly shocked everyone.
The discussions were mostly about whether this was a conspiracy by the Fucha family; after all, people with dark hearts wouldn't think of things in a positive light.
Of course, some clear-headed people understand that Wu Yiming probably has no emotional connection with the emperor, but it's hard to say about other aspects. After all, although Wu Yiming is nominally the empress's adopted sister, her partner is actually the Imperial Household Department.
Some well-informed people in the Imperial Household Department even managed to find out that Wu Yiming had created a lot of value for the department, and those with ulterior motives naturally thought that Wu Yiming was probably the emperor's money bag among the people.
As for the Empress's adopted sister, it's probably for legitimacy. After all, it was fine for Wu Yiming to disguise herself as a man in the past, but now that her true identity as a woman can't be hidden, being the Empress's adopted sister would allow her to get along better.
When Zhang Mingxuan learned that his friend was going to marry Wu Yiming, he was so shocked that his jaw dropped. It's understandable; he really didn't expect it. He had never seen the two of them interact, and their families didn't seem to be related. How could they be together?
Zhang Mingxuan gradually accepted this fact. He came from a farming family, and although he was not ashamed of his background, he was more down-to-earth and did not think there was anything wrong with women making money.
In addition, given that Wu Yiming was Empress's adopted sister, Zhang Mingxuan felt that the two were quite suitable for each other.
"Have you set a wedding date?"
Liu Jiangqing was very pleased and nodded, saying, "It's settled."
Zhang Mingxuan glanced at Liu Jiangqing with envy: "You are really lucky! Miss Wu is a good girl."
When Liu Jiangqing heard his friend praise his fiancée, he felt even happier than if his own fiancée had been praised.
"I know."
Looking at Liu Jiangqing's blissful smile, Zhang Mingxuan felt like he was being blinded by her happiness, and it even made him want to get married, even though he was only a scholar with the title of Xiucai (a lower-level scholar).
He still wanted to take another step forward and get married. At least he was not willing to get married before becoming a Juren (a successful candidate in the imperial examinations). By then, his status would have changed, and he would have more options.
