Shi Yihe is just an eight-year-old girl, how can she stand being looked at like this.
Although she appeared to be a well-behaved young lady, her real temperament was rather perverse. Zhou Zheng's tenacity and unyielding appearance attracted her, and she also saw that Zhou Zheng wanted her to help.
Because of this, she told Ling Zhiyan that she lacked a follower, and that this child was very suitable, good-looking, and very good-looking to have around her.
Shi Yunheng and Ling Zhiyan both loved their daughter very much, but they just bought a follower and they followed her.
After leaving Zhou Zheng by his side, Shi Yunheng first noticed that this child was unusual. He was obviously illiterate and could not write, but he could read with just a few words. He felt that it was a pity for such a smart child to be his follower, so he asked him to study with him.
Shi Yunheng believed that Zhou Zheng would be promising in the future and would not hinder his future, so he canceled his slave status and introduced him to a scholar friend, who accepted him as a student. It can be said that Zhou Zheng's treatment in the Shi family was not bad.
.
A few years later, Zhou Zheng and Shi Yihe both grew up to be teenagers, and their love for each other began to blossom. After testing each other, they found out what they wanted. Shi Yihe has always been bold, and expressed his thoughts to Shi Yunheng and his wife.
.
The couple had made this plan for a long time. Seeing that they both had ideas, they decided on the matter.
In this dynasty, some people got married early and some got married late, but the engagement time was always at the age of 12 or 13. The couple thought that Zhou Zheng was a good prospect. Since their daughter liked it, they should get engaged early to avoid other mistakes. I asked them about their opinions.
After learning that they agreed, the two couples began to discuss the idea.
Zhou Zheng was nine years old when he came to the Shi family, and fourteen when he got engaged to Shi Yihe. This was his fifth year in the Shi family.
Originally, Shi Yunheng and his wife thought that the engagement was safe. Zhou Zheng could study peacefully and did not have to rush to get married. It would be almost perfect to get married when he was seventeen or eighteen. They never expected that something happened to Zhou Zheng. On the third day after the engagement,
Yue, Zhou Zheng disappeared, leaving only a letter.
The letter said that he remembered his identity, and because he had to do important things, it was inconvenient to stay in the Shi family. He would come back to marry Shi Yihe after he had settled the matter.
The Shi family were a little angry, but they thought that Zhou Zheng was unusual from the beginning, and they guessed that the other party was in some danger, and they didn't really dislike him, so they decided to wait and see.
Shi Yihe believed that Zhou Zheng would never forget his promise, but when she went to Beijing again, she happened to see Zhou Zheng marrying the imperial concubine.
She was very angry, but she had no impulse to go out and say anything.
Zhou Zheng had a different status at this time. He was a high-ranking prince. If she rushed out at all costs, not only would she suffer, but her family would suffer as well.
By the time she returned to her residence, she had almost figured it out. She told Shi Yunheng and his wife about the matter, and stated that the matter between her and Zhou Zheng was over, and asked them to announce Zhou Zheng's unexpected death.
Later, when she returned home, she spent half a year downplaying the incident. Just when she was about to meet her, Zhou Zheng's people came to find her, revealed their identity, and said they would take her to Beijing to be the concubine.
Shi Yihe was so angry that she laughed. She didn't care about being a side princess.
She would rather be a poor man's wife than a nobleman's concubine. Besides, that place is a whirlpool, and going there means countless troubles. She is not a fool. Even if she stays at home and doesn't marry, it is better than rushing to be a concubine.
Okay. Her family is not so poor that she needs to beg for food, so why bother?
