"Little Pear, have you found out everything?"
The maid sitting next to Wan Ge immediately replied, "Miss, I have found out all the information you asked me to gather. The young master who has been corresponding with you is named Jun Yuchen, courtesy name Ziqian. He is the third-ranked scholar in the imperial examination. I heard that on the day the third-ranked scholar paraded through the streets, all the flowers in the city were bought up. He is exceptionally handsome."
Wan Ge nodded and sighed helplessly, "It's beautiful, but..."
However, after chatting for a while, Wan Ge discovered that the other person was not what she had imagined. Although she respected some of the other person's views, she did not agree with them. Their relationship was at most just mutual appreciation, and it was absolutely impossible for it to go any further.
Therefore, it is limited to friends only.
"But what?" Xiao Li opened her eyes wide, also looking forward to meeting the legendary third-place scholar.
It is said that this time, the top scholar and the third-ranked scholar were both first, but when deciding who would be the top scholar and who would be the third-ranked scholar, the emperor immediately felt that Jun Yuchen was very suitable for the title of third-ranked scholar because he was just too handsome.
Although the top scholar was also very handsome and had exceptional literary talent, on the day of his parade through the streets, everyone went to see the third-ranked scholar, so his popularity was significantly lower.
"He and I are not suitable to be husband and wife," Wan Ge said truthfully.
Xiao Li immediately said, "But if you don't hurry up and find someone to be engaged, His Majesty might make you a prince's consort before long."
As the daughter of a first-rank general protecting the country, and with her maternal grandfather being the renowned Hermit of Mushan, there were countless men who wanted to marry her since she was a child.
Even the emperor had tested the general when the young lady was a child, asking whether he wanted to give her to his young grandson as a wife.
However, the crown prince was later found to be plotting a rebellion, and the emperor killed him in a fit of anger, and also exiled the rest of the crown prince's family.
The emperor's temperament changed drastically afterward. He imprisoned the empress in the cold palace and took in many concubines, and the number of princes and princesses also increased.
Therefore, it was normal for the emperor to want to arrange a marriage between her and the prince, since the princes later became her age, not much younger.
However, her mother and grandfather had long held this view. They did not want her to get involved in royal disputes, so when she was young, they said that she was in poor health and could only be sent to her maternal grandparents' home to recuperate.
Everyone felt that biological parents would never really let their daughter leave, especially since she was the legitimate daughter of a general's family. If she wasn't sent away, she could still grow up with the prince. Therefore, no one doubted the authenticity of her supposed illness.
They would never have imagined that the claim of her being ill was indeed a lie. However, she was born with a weak constitution, but years of conditioning had long since cured her.
To make the story seem more believable, she still had to pretend to be sickly.
…
“It’s okay. My mother said she’s already found a few suitable candidates for me, and I’ll meet them. If I really can’t find anyone suitable, maybe he can help me.”
Although the other party has some different opinions from me, the general direction is similar. Moreover, I can feel from the other party's content that they are also an honest and kind person. If I really can't find a suitable candidate, marrying them is not a bad thing.
"Well, if all else fails, we'll ask the third-ranked scholar for help."
