Jiujiu's appearance was so sudden, but because of Yan Sui and Lord Ouyang's operation, as well as Gao Zong's means to maintain Yan Sui's image, even if Jiujiu's appearance was sudden, no one said a word of no.
Even if someone wanted to say no, with so many big shots standing at the top of the food chain praising her, if they said no, wouldn't they be going against the big shots?
There were so many big shots standing behind Jiujiu, especially Yan Sui, who was the master of falling out with others. As long as one had a little bit of brain, they wouldn't dare to say no.
Therefore, Jiujiu's reputation was quite good.
This good reputation continued until Yan Sui gave Jiujiu a sky-high betrothal gift, and Jiujiu's reputation reached a peak.
Moreover, after Gao Zong took advantage of the situation to release that Jiujiu was the last disciple of Master Miao Yin, Jiujiu was praised to the heavens and the earth.
Master Miao Yin was an eminent monk who was seventy-five years old. In ancient times, she was an exceptionally rare person with a long lifespan. Most importantly, Master Miao Yin was a famous eminent monk. Thirty years ago, after listening to Master Miao Yin's lecture, Gao Zong praised her greatly and directly conferred the Miao Yin Temple, where Master Miao Yin was, as a national temple.
After being greatly praised by Gao Zong, the Miao Yin Temple was flourishing with incense. Then, there were several people who spread the news that Miao Yin Temple was pregnant after praying for children, and the incense in the Miao Yin Temple was even more vigorous.
There were countless people who wanted to worship under Master Miao Yin, but to everyone's disappointment, Master Miao Yin claimed that she had sworn in front of Buddha that she would no longer accept disciples.
Under such circumstances, Jiujiu worshiped under Master Miao Yin. Other than Jiujiu's great wisdom, there was no other reason why Master Miao Yin would look at her favorably.
After Jiujiu reached the age of eighteen, she directly got engaged to Yan Sui as soon as she came back. It could be seen that Jiujiu was a good person.
Although many people gloated in their hearts and said that Yan Sui had a violent personality and that if Jiujiu were to marry Yan Sui, she would probably be dealt with very badly by Yan Sui, even if they said so, they still could not conceal the envy in their hearts.
A few days ago, Yan Sui personally went to the Ouyang Manor to deliver the betrothal gifts.
According to the witnesses, the betrothal gifts that Yan Sui gave to Jiujiu were so many that they filled up the courtyard of the Ouyang manor. There were even a lot of betrothal gifts at the entrance.
Although the Ouyang Manor wasn't as big as the Zhennan Manor, it wasn't small either.
How many betrothal gifts did Yan Sui give to fill up the courtyard?
The amount of betrothal gifts was directly related to how much a man cared about you. Even if the Lord of Zhennan's Mansion was rich and overbearing, it could be seen that the Lord of Zhennan's Mansion valued Jiujiu and was full of sincerity.
She was already so important before they were even married. If they were married, she would probably be the apple of his eye.
Not long after the betrothal gifts were given, Yan Sui directly went to the palace to ask for a decree, saying that he wanted to imitate his parents and father-in-law and mother-in-law and be a couple with Jiujiu for a lifetime.
He even specially asked for a decree that if he couldn't do it, he would be demoted to a commoner.
Once this news came out, it instantly caused a sensation.
Even in an ordinary merchant's family, as long as the man had a bit of money, there was no one who didn't have a womanizer. Taking in concubines was a common thing, not to mention the nobles. Gaozong was famous for being infatuated, but he also had dozens of concubines in his harem.
As for the other princes and lords, except for the Zhennan Manor, which of their mansions didn't have a few concubines? Yan Sui, such a person who was doted on by everyone, actually volunteered to stay with Jiujiu for a lifetime.
In order to make Jiujiu feel at ease, he even volunteered to ask for a decree.
The people who were originally afraid of Yan Sui because of his violence were instantly moved by Yan Sui's infatuation. Especially many unmarried ladies, they were even more moved.
As long as it was possible, which woman wouldn't be willing to marry a man who only liked her?
As for someone like Yan Sui, who had a noble status and was willing to do this, it was even rarer.
Even though many men said that Yan Sui was spineless, in the hearts of women, Yan Sui's reputation was unprecedentedly high.
After the engagement, Yan Sui even sent the rare items he found to the Ouyang manor every few days.
Other than those madams at the banquet who knew a little about it, although the others hadn't seen Jiujiu's appearance, they concluded that Jiujiu must be a rare beauty in the world from Yan Sui's attentive attitude.
Ouyang Pinting, who originally wanted to use Jiujiu's unknown identity to attack Jiujiu, didn't make a move. Yan Sui and Gao Zong's series of actions completely destroyed her idea. Ouyang Pinting was furious, but she couldn't do anything to Jiujiu.
Now, Ouyang Pinting was full of hatred. She hated Jiujiu, but she hated herself even more. She hated herself for not killing Jiujiu at that time. If she had killed Jiujiu directly at that time, there wouldn't be so many things today.
As Yan Sui became more and more eager for Jiujiu, Ouyang Pinting knew that she couldn't continue to stay in the Ouyang manor.
If she continued to stay, she was afraid that she would be angered to death.
A few days before Jiujiu was about to get married, on a dark and windy night, Ouyang Pinting carried her luggage and left the Ouyang manor with Lu Liu under the disguise of the night.
Ouyang Pinting was very ambitious, so she quickly found a man who was very ambitious. The Eighth Prince, who was miserably played by Yan Sui.
The Eighth Prince's age was about the same as Yan Sui's. If they really counted, he was younger than Yan Sui by a month.
When the Eighth Prince was young, he was favored by Imperial Concubine Jing and had a good life. But because of Yan Sui's trap, Imperial Concubine Jing was banished to the cold palace and the Eighth Prince was directly put under house arrest.
In the second year after Imperial Concubine Jing was banished to the cold palace, the Eighth Prince was finally released after Gao Zong took her life with a cup of wine.
Within a year, the Eighth Prince experienced his mother being banished to the cold palace and poisoned to death by his own father. He was simply used to the cold and warmth of the world. Especially in the days after his mother was poisoned, he didn't have enough to eat or warm clothes to wear. He even had to bow and scrape in front of the eunuchs and maids who took care of his basic necessities. He was only released after Imperial Concubine Jing was poisoned to death.
Even if Imperial Concubine Jing was in the wrong, the Eighth Prince was still his own child. Because he didn't like him, Gao Zong directly threw him into the Student Council.
With no one behind him, the Eighth Prince had to live with his tail between his legs in the Student Council.
Imperial Concubine Jing was able to become an imperial concubine, so her methods were naturally not weak. As her son, the Eighth Prince was the same.
Soon, the Eighth Prince obtained the Eighth Prince's attention and was brought out by the Eighth Prince. After several years of operation, he had successfully eliminated the grudge in Gao Zong's heart and even had some errands in his hands.
Moreover, because he didn't have a foundation, Gao Zong didn't have to worry about many things and directly let him do them. Because of this, the Eighth Prince had done quite well in recent years.
However, the Eighth Prince wasn't satisfied at all.
