Chapter 1414: Emperor of the Wei family
Editor: Atlas Studios
Su Xiaoxiao suddenly looked at Wei Ting seriously. “Are you hiding anything from me?”
Wei Ting looked puzzled. “Of course not!”
Su Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes suspiciously.
On the roof, Wuhu flapped its small wings. “A man’s mouth cannot be trusted”
Wei Ting gritted his teeth. Little stinky parrot! Come down!
In the carriage back to the palace, Princess Jingning carefully recalled a few poems written by Shen Chuan.
After entering the Hanlin Academy, he seemed to be smooth and worldly, hiding his sharpness, but he was actually ambitious and had high aspirations. He was a good seedling in the cabinet.
“Princess.”
Taozhi smiled and said, “I think Lord Shen is really good!”
“Yeah.”
Princess Jingning did not deny it.
“Eh?” Taozhi was surprised. “Princess, you don’t praise people easily.”
Princess Jingning said frankly, “He is indeed ambitious and talented.”
Taozhi asked curiously, “Princess, how do you think he is compared to Scholar Wei?”
Princess Jingning said seriously, “I’ve never competed in poetry with Wei Ting.”
In the past, her useless sister had gone against Guo Lingxi in various ways and even wanted to snatch Wei Ting from Guo Lingxi.
She had always kept a distance from Wei Ting.
Taozhi continued, “There’s also Fourth Young Master Su. He’s ranked first with First Scholar Shen. If he didn’t miss the palace examination because of illness, I wonder if there will be two top scholars!”
It was impossible for two top scholars.
She had seen their essays. Shen Chuan was slightly better at the real thesis.
Su Xuan’s strength was that his analysis and understanding of the malpractice of the Imperial Court was spot on. He was so sharp that he did not look like a fledgling scholar.
Thinking of something, Taozhi asked softly, “Princess, do you think Lord Shen is on the list of candidates for the Prince Consort?”
Princess Jing Ning asked, “So what if he is?”
Taozhi said weakly, “If he’s…”
As Taozhi spoke, she glanced at the indifferent Princess Jingning and swallowed the rest of her words.
The princess was clearly so outstanding, but she did not believe that there was a man in the world who really liked her.
Actually, she felt that Lord Shen was different from those men.
The next day, the empress had just finished her breakfast when she heard shocking news from her trusted eunuch.
“Is this true?”
The trusted eunuch said, “I’m not sure if it’s true or not. I just heard from Xiao Dezi from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It’s spread throughout the capital. He said that the royal princess has taken a fancy to Lord Shen of the Hanlin Academy and wants to take him in as her…”
The Empress slammed her fist on the table. “How dare you!”
The trusted eunuch knelt down. “Empress, calm down!”
The other palace servants in the hall also knelt down in fear and lowered their heads, not daring to breathe loudly.
The Empress said coldly, “Call the princess over!”
The trusted eunuch went to invite Princess Jingning.
Princess Jingning said, “It’s true that no one dares to gossip about me, but I’m afraid Marquis Su and Minister Su aren’t willing to marry a notorious princess as their granddaughter-in-law, especially… Shen Chuan and Su Xuan are good friends. The Su family won’t touch the woman Shen Chuan has touched.” frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
