In the side courtyard next to the princess's courtyard, the court doctor packed up his things and replied, "Third Young Master, Miss Guyu is in a coma due to the high fever caused by the cold entering her body. I have already prescribed medicine. Boil three bowls of water into one bowl. Take three times a day. She will be cured within three days."

Before Li Yu could speak, the princess beside him asked, "But what should we do about the wound on her head? She's bleeding so much."

"It's a minor wound on the head. Not much blood will flow out. As long as you don't get it wet, it will heal in a few days. But you may feel dizzy and want to vomit, so you need to rest well in the next few days."

After the doctor finished speaking, he left. The princess sat in front of the bed and held Guyu's hand, blaming herself: "It's all my fault. I asked her to go out with me today even though she looked so bad."

Li Yu took a deep look at the bandage on the girl's head and said expressionlessly, "Let's go. Don't disturb her rest."

The princess covered her with the quilt, stood up, went out and asked a little maid to wait outside, and then followed Li Yu back to the main courtyard.

The princess opened her lips slightly and hesitated to thank him again and again: "Thank you, third brother, for sending Guyu back."

Li Yu turned around, with a look in his eyes that the princess could not understand, and said coldly: "Think about the consequences before you do anything, you are not a child anymore."

After that, he went out and left.

The princess was left alone with her back turned, wiping her tears.

"Princess, Master Xu is outside the courtyard asking you to leave."

Only after hearing what the maid said did she turn around, wipe her tears with a handkerchief, straighten her dress with a happy face, and walk out awkwardly.

A tall and thin man was standing outside the door, looking at her and smiling.

The princess came forward with a red face and called out tenderly, "Brother Zijin."

Xu Zijin touched her head and asked gently, "What were you doing there just now?"

The princess's face turned even redder. After a long while, she didn't tell the reason. She said angrily, "Brother Zijin, don't ask anymore."

"Is Guyu okay?"

Speaking of this, the princess looked sad: "The court doctor checked it out and it was caused by fever. He fainted and broke his head. He needs to rest well."

Xu Zijin comforted him, "It's good that you're fine. Don't worry too much. If the court doctor says it's fine, then it's fine. Don't come to see me next time. It's not safe. I'll come to see you when I have the chance."

The princess felt warm in her heart and nodded obediently: "I understand."

Xu Zijin: "I have to go. The prince will scold me soon."

The princess looked up and urged him: "Then go quickly."

Back in the main courtyard dining room, everyone knew what he was doing there, his own daughter\sister. Once you are sure of that, even eight horses can't pull you back.

On the way back, Su Yi couldn't help but ask, "What did you do just now?"

"Go see the princess. I have known her since childhood and we like each other. The prince promised that as long as I enter the top three, he will come to propose marriage."

"Just now, the maidservant beside her fainted and broke her head. She and the maidservant have been like sisters since childhood. I am afraid that she will be sad."

After Xu Zijin finished explaining, Su Yi didn't ask any more questions. Since childhood, that was not her.

After resting for a few days, the emperor finally decided to let Su Yi enter the Dali Temple, and the second and third place candidates enter the Hanlin Academy, and all three of them would start as eighth-rank officials.

Everything was on track, and after the hype about the top three had died down, Su Yi went to meet Mr. Xu.

"Student Su Yi greets you, sir." Perhaps due to past reasons, Su Yi still calls himself a student.

Lord Xu praised: "Yes, I didn't make a mistake in choosing him back then."

"Oh, by the way, where is your sister? Didn't she come to the capital with you?" Lord Xu thought of the girl who was full of schemes and cooked the most unique meals he had ever eaten.

"She is not my sister," Su Yi said calmly, "She is my fiancée."

Lord Xu hissed, "Child bride?"

Su Yi didn't like this name, he said: "We are childhood sweethearts, we grew up together."

Lord Xu felt regretful and asked again, "Why haven't you gotten married yet?"

"It will be soon. The family is already preparing for it."

Lord Xu no longer hesitated and gave his sincere blessing: "She is indeed a rare woman. Remember to invite me to the wedding wine when you get married in the future."

"Thank you very much"

As soon as Su Yi finished his meal and left, Mrs. Xu couldn't wait to ask, "How is it going? Did you find out clearly?"

Lord Xu sighed, "Don't worry about it. He has a fiancée. I met her that year. His family is already preparing for the wedding banquet."

Madam Xu frowned, "Have you seen a betrothed before? How can it be compared with my Jiuer? My Jiuer is the daughter of a third-rank imperial envoy. How can a country girl compare to her?"

Lord Xu was dissatisfied with this, "What are you talking about? I have seen that girl before. She is smart and intelligent. She is more than suitable for Su Yi."

Mrs. Xu couldn't believe it, "Are you saying Jiuer can't compare to her?"

Lord Xu was too lazy to waste time talking to her. He left with one sentence: "Don't mention this matter again" and left.

Mrs. Xu was so angry that she got very furious.

A maid quietly left and went to a boudoir in Xu's mansion.

"You mean, Brother Su already has a fiancée?" Xu Jiuyan slumped down on the stool with a dull expression.

The maid repeated the conversation between the two word for word, and Xu Jiuyan stood up again.

She murmured to herself, "How can a country girl be worthy of the talented Brother Su?"

Ever since she met Su Yi during the parade that day, she fell in love with him at first sight and vowed to marry no one else but him.

After saying this, he went to Mrs. Xu's room without further delay.

When Madam Xu heard her daughter's suggestion, she clapped her hands and said, "Yes, why didn't I think of that? Since Lord Su values ​​love and friendship, it's not impossible to let a country girl be a concubine. I'll talk to your father and ask him to do it."

In the princess's side courtyard in the palace, Guyu kept sneezing, one after another.

“Who is programming me?”

The princess asked worriedly, "Did you catch a cold? Should we ask the palace doctor to take a look?"

Guyu held her back and said, "Don't do that. I've recovered from my cold a long time ago. I'm not feeling unwell anywhere. Someone must be scolding me."

If a maidservant asked the palace doctor for help even though she was fine, the princess might think she was a waste and secretly dispose of her.

When she looked up, she saw the princess's amorous expression. She asked, "Princess, what are you thinking about?"

The princess smiled sweetly: "My mother said yesterday that the Xu family is ready to propose marriage, but no matter what, they have to wait until my third brother gets married first, and the order of seniority is respected."

After saying that, he sighed loudly, "My third brother is really something. There are so many noble ladies, but he doesn't like any of them. I really don't know what kind of girl he will choose."

Guyu thought of the third young master, who was aloof, aloof from worldly matters, and kept strangers away. Indeed, there were very few women who were worthy of him.

Guyu concluded: "I guess it's just that fate hasn't arrived yet."

The princess nodded, "Indeed, I can't just ask my third brother to find someone to marry just because I want to get married. That would be unworthy of me being his sister."

Guyu looked at the princess's face, it was hard to say what to do with the look on her face that showed she was eager to get married right away.

The protagonist they were discussing was currently being interrogated by the princess.

"Yuer, why don't you get married? Do you have any unspeakable secret?" The princess looked afraid that her son would say something out of line.

"Mom, what are you thinking? I just don't want to get married."

"But you are not young anymore. When your brother was your age, your eldest nephew was already three years old."

"Besides, your sister is also of marriageable age. You can't marry her before you, right?"

"Among so many girls, is there no one you like?"

Li Yu pursed his lips and hesitated for a long time, then looked up at the princess as if he had made some kind of decision, "I have a girl I like."

The princess was delighted and said, "No matter which girl you are from, as long as your family background is clean, I will propose marriage to you."

Li Yu said the name slowly with trepidation. The princess's face froze and she said without thinking, "Impossible."
