Chapter 451 My fiancée is Princess Anping
Although the other students were curious, they did not dare to look around.
After all, the ground has not been touched yet.
Song Yun was familiar with all of this and was not curious.
He just sat there with a very calm expression.
The emperor talked about the imperial examination.
Looking at the top three again,
He joked to Song Yun, "I heard that Song Zhuangyuan was surprised by the parade today."
When the emperor spoke, Song Yun definitely couldn't just sit and answer.
He stood up and saluted, saying, "I am sorry to have made you laugh, Your Majesty."
"I heard you took money from a young lady."
"That was the student's fiancée. She didn't know about the custom of throwing sachets during the parade of the top scholar, and she was curious, so she threw silver instead."
Gu Yichen laughed: "Haha, your fiancée is quite interesting."
Song Yun certainly knew that at his age, there would definitely be people asking about his marriage.
Instead of letting others ask, it is better to tell the truth yourself first.
It saves some people from thinking.
Everyone listened to Song Yun saying that he had a fiancée.
My heart is filled with disappointment.
And Concubine Yi heard it.
Seeing Xiyue's liking for him.
This man is good and indeed has a good appearance.
Besides, there were many students in all dynasties who eventually married noble ladies. This was just an engagement, not a marriage, and it could not be cancelled.
Then she smiled and said to His Majesty, "Your Majesty, Xiyue also went to watch the parade of the number one scholar this morning, and came back to tell me in the afternoon that this year's number one scholar is a handsome man! I didn't expect that, and after seeing him, I found that he is indeed a very talented man."
After saying that, she didn't forget to look at him.
Meaning tell him.
On one side is your country fiancée and on the other side is a princess. You know what to choose, right?
Gu Yichen was puzzled: "Oh," and then glanced at Song Yun.
Song Yun is still talented, but he cannot marry the princess. If he marries a princess, he will generally only be able to hold a sinecure.
So he thought for a while: "Xiyue will soon be of marriageable age. When the time comes, I will ask the Queen to find a good match for her."
The meaning couldn't be more obvious.
In this era, any talented and learned man would not marry a princess. If he did, he would usually ruin his future.
At this time, Lord Xu said, "I heard that the number one scholar Song married a common wife. I think the conditions are different now, so there is no need to marry together. Of course, he can marry another one. This is not uncommon."
Lord Xu thought to himself that he had brought this matter to light.
Of course he knew that his fiancée was Princess Anping, but he only wanted to marry the princess.
Your future will be ruined.
Having a shared wife in a family is a joke in itself. Next, whether he continues to share his wife or marries another woman, his reputation will be damaged.
Sharing wives only happens in remote villages.
No man in the capital can accept this.
If Song Yun married another woman after graduating from high school, he would be abandoning his original wife.
No matter which choice you make, it’s wrong.
When everyone heard that Song Yun, such a handsome man, had a shared wife at home, the flames of gossip were ignited.
Gu Yichen was also surprised.
Song Yun glanced at Lord Xu.
He raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Lord Xu Bukui is an important official, he has many informants, and he knows everything clearly."
Song Yun's words were full of traps.
Everyone in the palace has informants, but having them is one thing, and saying it so bluntly is another.
Lord Xu knows so much about the family affairs of a newly crowned top scholar. This is a bit too much.
Lord Xu saw that His Majesty did not look very well.
He quickly stepped forward and knelt down, bowing to the emperor and saying, "Your Majesty, I just admire the new champion, so I know a little bit about him. I have absolutely no other intentions."
Gu Yichen then calmed down and said with a smile: "Master Xu is too nervous. Didn't I say anything yet? Get up!"
Lord Xu wiped the sweat from his forehead.
At this time, Concubine Yi broke the dull atmosphere and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it is like this. Miss Xu has a good relationship with Xiyue, so she asked for Xiyue's help."
Gu Yichen looked at the students and said, "Every year the court admits some young and promising students. Everyone has suitable children in their families, so it's normal for them to know something about this."
There is no emperor who doesn't hate factions. He doesn't hate it so much now because his sons are not yet adults.
So there is no such worry.
Therefore, everyone is very casual about marriage and does not make too many guesses.
Then he looked at Song Yun and said, "Song Aiqing, your future is limitless. Wouldn't it be too unfair for you to share a wife? Besides, you haven't gotten married yet, so it's good for your brother to take care of you."
Song Yunyi felt so wronged thinking that they were the only ones taking care of him.
He cupped his hands and said sincerely, "Your Majesty, my family was very poor and I had nothing. My mother worked hard to raise the five of us. Later, my family suffered misfortunes one after another, and I also went through hardships and survived many deaths. As for my fiancée, she was the common wife my mother married for my brothers."
At this point, he paused and continued, "In my hometown, many families cannot afford to marry a daughter-in-law, so the phenomenon of sharing wives is very common. I don't feel embarrassed or difficult to talk about such things."
Then, he raised his voice slightly and said firmly: "On the contrary, since my fiancée came to our home, she has not despised our poverty. Instead, she has worked tirelessly and wholeheartedly to take on the responsibilities of the family."
"Gradually, my brothers' conditions improved, and my own health gradually recovered, and our family has now reached its current state. I can continue to study, all thanks to my fiancée's hard work for this family."
Finally, he said passionately: "How can I forget my gratitude and betray my loyalty just because I passed the imperial examination today? I believe that an ungrateful person is not qualified to be an official. Moreover, it is precisely because I have experienced these things that I should apply the knowledge I have learned to solve people's livelihood problems, so that the people can have enough food and clothing, marry wives and have children."
Gu Yichen listened quietly as Song Yun narrated his past word by word.
I have to say that this great scholar is really amazing. Even those things that others are too embarrassed to talk about can be told in such a touching way when they come out of his mouth.
"With your knowledge, you have a bright future, but aren't you worried that others will laugh at your 'dark history' behind your back?" Gu Yichen asked curiously.
Song Yun shook his head and answered firmly: "No, that is not my black history. It is just the way I came here. It is also my honor. And your majesty also knows my fiancée."
This is probably the most words Song Xie has ever said at one time in his life.
But for Xia Xia's reputation, it must be established.
Instead of letting others talk behind your back, it is better to speak out frankly.
Hearing this, Gu Yichen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked with interest: "Oh? Who is she?"
"My fiancée is Princess Anping." Song Yun answered without hesitation.
