Relying on He Jing and the power of the He Family, obtaining nobility and entering the court is definitely sothing that will co naturally.
The Seventh Prince looks like a refined scholar, but in his veins flows the blood of the Royal Family, and he has ambition too.
Even if he cannot ascend to that position, he wants to beco a high-ranking Prince, not just an invisible Prince with an empty title.
After listening to those words from He Shu, his shaful heart was moved.
Yet, he still couldn’t let go of He Shu, his childhood friend and life savior.
He Shu continued to wipe her tears, "I know your friendship, but, Third Sister is the most stubborn person."
"The person she has chosen, the things she has set her sights on, she will never easily give up!"
"...Also, Second Uncle treats extrely well, and Third Sister and I are full-blood cousins. I, I cannot ruin her happiness!"
He Shu truly understood the art of speaking.
She indeed considered marrying the Seventh Prince; after all, the Seventh Prince was the son of the Emperor, regardless of anything.
As a woman without a father and without brothers to rely on, even with the Marquis Nanning as her natal family, she couldn’t marry into a good family.
At most, it would be to so Duke Mansion or the Marquis Mansion’s younger son, youngest son, or even a Concubine Son.
Or, she could choose a rising star from a poor family.
He Shu didn’t want any of these diocre choices.
Marrying the Seventh Prince, she could at least be a Princess Consort.
Even if not favored, it was still of at least a decent rank.
With the identity of a Princess Consort, many of He Shu’s previous ideas could be realized.
Opening shops, creating gunpowder, starting overseas trade... Having insights from future generations, He Shu didn’t shy away from striving for herself.
But alas, the era does not allow it.
Transmigrating to ancient tis for ten-plus years, the wise yet cautious He Shu had long understood all of this.
She would never be like so brainless transmigrators who would easily advocate for equality for everyone, that won and n are the sa.
Before having the ability to break traditions and change rules, she could only endure.
And the Seventh Prince was her vital step towards success and self-realization.
Unfortunately, for He Shu, the best choice, the Seventh Prince, was chosen by He Tian.
He Shu could only painfully let go and instead persuade the Seventh Prince to propose to He Tian.
While persuading, He Shu definitely wouldn’t say she didn’t dare or couldn’t marry the Seventh Prince.
She first told the Seventh Prince that marrying He Tian would greatly benefit him.
Then she said that Second Uncle He Jing treated her very well; she valued blood kinship and wanted to fulfill He Tian’s deep affection.
After saying all of this, the Seventh Prince was both moved and heartbroken: Shushu was indeed a kind and wonderful girl, and she truly cared for him!
Coincidentally, He Tian committed a foolish act and crafted a crude, cliché trap.
The already sowhat tempted Seventh Prince half-heartedly accepted, and together with He Tian, fell into the lake.
In front of everyone, with skin-to-skin contact, the engagent between the Seventh Prince and He Tian was thus decided.
Even though He Jing felt uneasy, thinking that the Seventh Prince was not a good match for his daughter.
But things had developed to this point, and since the foolish act was done by his own daughter, He Jing had no other solution.
He went to the Imperial Palace to request a marriage decree from the Emperor.
The Emperor favored Marquis Nanning and General Jingbei, knowing that he would be making an in-law relationship with He Jing, he was naturally very pleased.
Only at this mont did the Emperor suddenly rember that Laoqi was already eighteen, reaching the age to establish a family and career.
With the marriage decided, then his career—
The Emperor made a grand gesture, writing a decree not only for marriage but also appointing the Seventh Prince as a Commandery Prince.
In just one day, the Seventh Prince beca Prince Qi and also had the strong support of the He Family as his newfound Yue Family.
Following this, He Jing also helped Prince Qi secure a position for training in the Ministry of War.
Having been granted a royal title and able to serve at court, Prince Qi’s status completely changed.
While secretly rejoicing, Prince Qi still felt sowhat desolate—
In the end, he still couldn’t marry the girl he had adored for more than ten years.
Prince Qi loved, cherished, and felt guilty towards He Shu, yet He Tian, the one with reckless acts, made another foolish move.
Although the He Family blocked the news of the "wedding dress drama," Prince Qi and He Shu had known each other for a decade, so naturally, he had his own sources.
On the day He Shu went to the suburb of the capital’s temple, Prince Qi received the news.
"Well, well, He Tian, your sches have all succeeded, yet you still don’t restrain yourself!"
"Shushu always considers you, yet you still plot against her!"
"Shushu is kind, yet I am a person who holds grudges and exacts revenge over every little thing..."
But though Prince Qi was angry, he didn’t dare openly reprimand He Tian.
The only thod he could think of was intentionally dishonoring and coldly neglecting her.
Using He Tian’s obsession with him to hurt, torture her...
