At first, when she thought her husband was just a royal merchant, Wange didn't feel like she was marrying above her station, since merchants didn't have a high social status in that era. After all, she was the daughter of a fourth-rank official.
But after learning the other person's identity, Wan Ge didn't understand.
He's rich, powerful, and incredibly handsome. Even if he were a little weak, it wouldn't matter. There's absolutely no need for him to choose me!
Feng Ji reached out and touched her cheek: "It seems you really don't remember me at all."
Wan Ge looked puzzled.
Feng Ji lowered his head: "A year ago at Mingyue Restaurant, you gave me the last peach blossom pastry."
When Wan Ge heard him say that, she seemed to have a vague recollection of it.
My mother really liked the peach blossom pastries from Mingyue Restaurant. A year ago, she had just returned home from her maternal grandparents' house, and when she was at Mingyue Restaurant, she wanted to buy a peach blossom pastry.
There was only one serving left, and at the same time, another young master wanted it too.
Wan Ge was reluctant to give it up, since her mother also liked it, but the young master's servant told her that his young master was from Jiangcheng and they were going back today, so they hoped she would give it to them, and his young master was willing to pay three times the price.
When Wan Ge heard that they were leaving the capital and returning to Jiangcheng, she knew that the journey was long and they probably wouldn't come back often in the future. Anyway, her home was in the capital, and she could come back to buy it tomorrow, so she gave it to them and didn't take their money.
Wan Ge could no longer remember what the other person looked like, because she hadn't been able to see clearly from that distant glimpse.
If she had met the next day, or clearly seen the other person's face, she probably wouldn't have forgotten. But so much time has passed and she still doesn't see clearly. Besides, if such a trivial matter isn't brought up, she naturally won't remember it.
…
"So that young master was you. Your servant said you were going back to Jiangcheng, and now I realize." It turns out the servant wasn't lying back then; he really did go back to Jiangcheng.
Feng Ji nodded: "At that time, I fell in love with you at first sight."
"Because I brought you pastries?"
Feng Ji shook his head: "No, it's just that I fell in love with you the moment I walked in."
Even if the other person did nothing, even if he only glanced at her, the feeling of his heart racing at that moment seemed to tell him that he had fallen in love with a woman at first sight.
So after Wan Ge left, he immediately ordered Zhui Ying to investigate who Wan Ge was and where she lived.
After learning about Wan Ge's news, he returned to Jiangcheng and discussed it with his parents. Then he sent a letter to his parents in the capital to tell them about it.
He had been preparing for a long time, and finally formally proposed marriage half a year ago. At the time of the proposal, he did not hide his identity.
He wore a jade pendant that represented his identity, and Wan Ge's father recognized it at a glance. He asked him about his identity and the same question about why he chose Wan Ge.
Feng Ji told him the truth and expressed his sincerity.
But he didn't know why his father-in-law hadn't explained things clearly to his wife.
Perhaps he didn't want his wife to get involved with the royal family, so he told her that he was just a royal merchant.
As for the matter of the imperial merchant, Princess Rong was actually once the richest woman in the country. Her family had been in business for generations, and she was her only daughter, so her parents had long ago left all their assets to him.
When the Crown Prince wanted to seize power, he needed a lot of money, so Prince Rong took the initiative to earn money. It was through this that he met his wife.
They not only cooperated to make money, but also went through many major events and faced life and death several times, long ago valuing each other more than themselves.
…
"Do you really like me that much?" Wan Ge asked, looking at him again.
Feng Ji nodded very seriously: "To me, my wife is more important than my life."
"But I heard that you have a childhood sweetheart you can't forget."
Feng Ji was stunned for a moment, then quickly explained, "Absolutely not! I've never had any contact with women except for you and Mother."
Given his status and power, he could easily have gotten close to other women, but he wasn't interested in any of them.
He doesn't like to interact with women or strangers, so where did his childhood sweetheart come from, or any other person he has a crush on, and why is he so attached to her?
"But I always see you staring blankly at a hairpin. Could it be a gift from your sweetheart?"
Hearing her say that, Feng Ji smiled helplessly: "It was indeed given to me by my sweetheart, but it seems that my sweetheart didn't recognize me."
"What?" Wan Ge was puzzled again. Judging from his words, it seemed that he meant it was his or that he had given it to her.
Feng Ji took out a beautiful hairpin from his sleeve and handed it to Wan Ge.
Wan Ge could clearly see the style of the hairpin, and the glass beads on it were something her grandmother had acquired at a great expense.
After the engagement was made, Wan Ge used this hairpin as a token of their love and had it given to Feng Ji.
Wan Ge often saw him staring blankly at the hairpin, but she didn't see the style of the hairpin clearly. Every time she walked up to him, he would put the hairpin away.
Wan Ge never imagined that the other person was holding her hairpin. If it was hers, why would he hide it?
Moreover, he looked like he was reminiscing about someone while looking at the object, even though I was right in front of him.
"I'm right in front of you, why are you still staring blankly at your hairpin?"
Feng Ji thought of this and felt a year's worth of grievances: "You don't like me. My mother said that you should show more respect to the person you love and wait until you are willing."
