Following the imperial edict, the girl's family knew that they could not resist and could only accept their fate.

The girl's mother persuaded her for a long time, and her father threatened the whole family's life, but finally the girl had to obey.

After the young man (Pu Yong) learned the news, he became seriously ill.

Both mothers regretted not arranging marriages for their two children earlier.

Three months later, the girl hurriedly married into the Tenth Prince's Mansion and became the Tenth Prince's concubine.

Outsiders envied the girl for being so lucky to marry a prince.

But only the girl herself understood why the emperor wanted her, a woman of ordinary origin, to marry a prince.

There is no other reason, just because this prince is too inconspicuous, and he probably never asks for any appreciation from the emperor.

It was rare to speak this time. The emperor took a look and realized that this woman's family background was very average. That's good! Very good! It not only satisfies my prince's request and makes him feel grateful to me, but also makes me feel at ease with him. From now on, there won't be any big turmoil. I just want to be the unknown prince obediently!

The palace of the tenth prince is hidden in a corner of the palace, and it pales in comparison to other magnificent palaces. It is small in scale, the buildings are old, and the walls are peeling off, as if the traces of time are deeply imprinted on every brick and stone.

The door of the mansion is narrow, and the paint on the front door has faded and looks mottled and worn. The stone lion at the door has also lost its former majesty, and its body is covered with dust and moss.

When you walk into the house, you will see a simple courtyard with uneven ground and overgrown weeds.

There is a small pond in the middle of the courtyard. The water is turbid and there are fallen leaves and debris floating on the water. The rooms in the Prince's Mansion are also very small, with dim lighting and simple furnishings. Paint peeled off the walls, exposing the masonry underneath.

The wooden frames on the windows have rotted away and the window paper is in tatters, unable to stop the cold wind. The furniture in the mansion was old, covered with scratches and stains, and had obviously been used for a long time.

The bedding on the bed was thin and gave off an old smell. The entire prince's palace was filled with an atmosphere of loneliness and depression, which made people feel the prince's unpopularity and the hardship of life.

On the night when the girl got married, she lived in a newly repainted and decorated new house, and she didn't know what it was like outside.

When she got up the next day, she was shocked.

Is this the Prince's Mansion? It's not as good as a farmer's house in her village!

But what she didn't expect was that despite being so depressed and looking so poor, the tenth prince actually had two concubines in the house!

Is he rich or not?

Why don't you repair your yard better if you have money? At least it doesn't look so shabby.

No money? Don’t want so many women if you don’t have money!

Your two concubines don't look like they have no money. The beads and hairpins on their heads are worth at least one hundred taels of silver.

This amount of money is enough to keep your yard looking tidy.

The girl had no choice but to join in, and she felt even more sad when she saw this scene. I can't be enthusiastic about the tenth prince.

But the tenth prince seemed to be possessed by a poison and had a soft spot for her. He ignored all the other concubines in the palace and doted on his concubine for half a year.

until……

That day, there was a huge uproar in the capital! Because, a very remarkable figure has emerged, a character that is rare to meet in hundreds of years - Pu Yong, the number one scholar in cultural relics!

In other words, the number one scholar in martial arts that year was Pu Yong, and the number one scholar in literature was also Pu Yong.

While the handsome young man was riding his horse through the streets, the girls were throwing handkerchiefs like crazy. I heard that someone else had money wrapped in a handkerchief, and they wanted to hit it more accurately, but the boy easily caught it and threw it back.

When the handkerchief landed on the girl accurately, the whole audience screamed! So handsome!

Many ministers in the court also praised Pu Yong's articles and said that he was a rare talent!

The princes all want such a capable person to be their own, and there are even people in the capital saying: The brave man who wins Pu will conquer the world!

Of course the tenth prince also wanted to win over him.

But he knew that he was not qualified. His background was very inconspicuous among the princes. His mother was the maid of a low-level princess in the palace. Others said it was her mother who crawled into bed to have him, but he knew that it was all someone else's plan. After giving birth to him, the mother was gone. He was probably killed. And he already had someone to guess.

However, there was no substantial evidence. He had been tired of trying to survive for so many years and had no energy to find the truth.

Fortunately, he is very self-aware. He is determined not to want things he shouldn't want, and he is determined not to want things he shouldn't want. He knows very well that as long as he is low-key enough and good at flattering, he will have enough to eat.

The harder life gets, the more he wants this Pu Yong to be in his name. With capable go-getters, you can get out of your current predicament.

Of course, these were all he thought about in bed at night.

He inquired about it, and several princes spent a lot of money to invite him, but none of them could come. Neither family likes it.

If he spent tens of thousands of taels on someone like Pu Yong, he would be willing to hire him.

Of course the premise is - he wants so much money!

Children without a mother or a father will be fine if they can have enough to eat, so don’t have too many fantasies.

But what he never expected was that on that day, a servant suddenly came to report that someone had sent a letter asking for an audience.

The tenth prince opened it out of boredom and was immediately startled: Pu Yong? It's actually Pu Yong? Did he invite himself to meet?

why?

So many rich and powerful princes invited Pu Yong, why didn't he go?

Having seen enough intrigues in the palace, the Tenth Prince knew very well that pie in the sky would never happen to him!

But since someone has written a letter, of course he has to know how to do it. Maybe, just by chance, Pu Yong is willing to invest in his own name?

Perhaps, his reputation has already spread all over the country, otherwise how can he explain this letter?

Would Pu Yong invite the unknown tenth prince to meet him? How can it be!

After the tenth prince dressed up carefully, he borrowed a carriage from the eighth prince in the palace and went straight to the date.

The place where Pu Yong made an appointment was a teahouse. His family was an hour away from the center of the capital, but only half an hour away from the palace.

The Tenth Prince had also been to the teahouse before. It was full of flowers yet elegant, and it was a popular place for wealthy scholars.

He had no money, so he once went there with the Eighth Prince to cheer him and others up.

The time in the carriage passed quickly.

In the bustling teahouse, the tenth prince was invited. The moment he stepped into the room, his eyes were attracted by Pu Yong sitting by the window.

Pu Yong has a tall and straight posture, and his handsome face looks even more handsome in the sunshine. His eyes were deep and bright, exuding a unique charm, and the tenth prince couldn't help but be shocked. The two people's eyes met, as if they instantly ignited the spark in each other's hearts.

"The tenth prince?"

"Yes. Mr. Pu?"

"Yes!" The two smiled at each other and sat down.
