A shy smile graced Tian Shanshan’s face.
Fu, perplexed by the situation, breathed a sigh of relief. “It’s a good thing he understood, or else we would have given him a lesson!”
“Indeed,” Tian Shanshan replied, ncing at Fu and chuckling. “Let’s not speak of that again. Isn’t he handsome, well-mannered, kind-hearted, and knowledgeable?”
Taken aback, Fu turned to Tian Shanshan, her eyes widened as she stuttered, “Miss, you can’t be…”
Tian Shanshan blushed, but maintained herposure. “Enough, it’s too early to discuss such matters…”
As the Minister of Personnel’s direct daughter, the niece of the esteemed Concubine Mei in the pce, and the cousin protected by His Highness the Fourth Prince, Tian Shanshan had her standards set high. Only a talented and handsome top-ranked schr would be deemed worthy as a potential husband.
Others simply did not measure up.
Yet, due to her genuine interest in this man, she cared little even if he were not the top-ranked schr.
Nevertheless, Fu was shocked beyond words, her hand instinctively covering her mouth to stifle a potential scream. What had gotten into herdy? How could she develop affections for a man awaiting the examination results? Thankfully, herdy still retained her rationality.
Soon, Tian Shanshan confided in the other intermediate girls in the capital, revealing her infatuation with a candidate poised to seed in the imperial examination. She made it clear that once the results were announced, no one would be permitted to interfere.
In essence, she implied that even if other families sought to secure a son-inw, they would have to wait until she had made her choice.
Tian Shanshan held a prominent status among the nobledies in the capital’s intermediate circle and enjoyed considerable poprity. There was no favored princess in the pce, and those born of concubines paled inparison to her.
None dared to defy her wishes.
The nobledies yfully teased Tian Shanshan, eagerly inquiring about the identity of the man in question.
Tian Shanshan maintained her enigmatic smile and offered no answers.
She had no intention of divulging any information until everything was rified. What if the man failed to secure the top-ranked schr position? In that case, she had no intention of letting anyone know about her connection with him.
Word of this affair spread like wildfire, reaching even the imperial capital of Qixuan. People even approached Officer Tian from the Ministry of Personnel to inquire about the matter.
Officer Tian could only smile helplessly, regarding it as his daughter’s marriage. As long as she was happy, he and his wife trusted her judgment. If it worked out, it would undoubtedly be an extraordinary tale.
Emperor Xuan found the situation intriguing and grew interested. He dered that he would orchestrate a grand wedding for the newlyweds, allowing Officer Tian to bestow his daughter in a magnificent manner.
Officer Tian was overjoyed.
Truthfully, he was not overly concerned. He understood his daughter’s prideful nature, as she regarded all noble families, princes, kings, and young masters of the capital with disdain.
He had no knowledge of the identity of the imperial examination candidate, but he was confident that his daughter’s choice would be to his liking.
Theycked neither power nor status; what they needed were individuals of exceptional talent.
He couldn’t wait to wee such a son-inw into the family!
Given Tian Shanshan’s status as the revered daughter of heaven, news of the affair quickly spread throughout the capital. After all, the Eight Trigrams of the top noble families held immense fascination for everyone.
Qiao Xuan and the other rmended men were well aware of the situation.
The candidates grew increasingly restless, all attempting to discern who the fortunate individual might be.
Being the Minister of Personnel’s lineal daughter and having connections with Noble Consort Mei and the Fourth Prince, marrying Tian Shanshan would undoubtedly lead to a prosperous future.
