Chapter 266 It's all Zhang Sheren's fault
What happened next?
Everyone present was extremely anxious.
Those familiar days of eagerly gossiping about others are truly something to miss.
You should know that the marriage between the Secretary and the Princess of Penglai was written into a storybook.
The Secretary and Junior Supervisor did not take concubines, and the Princess of Penglai did not seek male lovers.
The two were deeply in love and treated each other with utmost respect, which aroused the envy of many.
Now Shen Zhiyi is actually saying that these two will break up sooner or later!
[They kept this secret so well; nobody knows that this model couple is actually a couple in a contractual relationship.]
Everyone looked at the Secretary and Junior Supervisor in shock.
Good heavens, only the Secretary and Junior Supervisor know how to play this game; they even came up with a marriage agreement!
Strictly speaking, marriages based solely on love rarely last. It might sound harsh, but for most people, love does have an expiration date.
Therefore, marriages based on mutual agreement, like those between the Secretary and the Princess of Penglai, are actually more likely to last.
The entire court was puzzled.
Shen Zhiyi, you should take a look at what you're saying.
This is contradictory.
【but! 】
The entire court held its breath and concentrated.
If this arranged marriage falls apart later, Zhang Sheren will definitely be blamed.
Zhang Sheren, who was engrossed in watching the melon, suddenly felt a burning gaze.
No, what's going on!
Shen Zhiyi wants to harm him?
Has he offended Shen Zhiyi recently?
Oh, damn brain, think of something!
Unlike the others who looked on with amusement, the secretary looked at Zhang Sheren with bewildered eyes.
The secretary standing in front of him couldn't help but speak up.
"Secretary-General, would you like to ask the General of the Cavalry for a hat?"
The secretary was completely bewildered.
What do you mean?
He asked the General of the Cavalry for a hat... uh, wait!
His face flushed with anger as he said, "The county princess doesn't even know Zhang Sheren!"
The Secretary-General sighed softly, his gaze towards the Junior Secretary-General filled with even more pity.
"You don't need to say anything, I understand."
Secretary Lang added, "It's alright, men don't need a hat."
The librarian said in a low voice, "Anyway, men have cheated on women quite a few times, so it's not a big deal for women to cheat on men occasionally. If you're a man, you have to be magnanimous, after all, the other party is a county princess!"
It's already quite kind of them not to bring their male concubines in front of you.
The secretary was speechless and choked with emotion.
What is this and what?
He finally understood what everyone's look meant.
It seems the entire court thought he had been cuckolded.
"What are you thinking?!" The secretary roared silently. The hat was too conspicuous; General Yunhui could have just worn it himself.
"Don't think like that, it's impossible for the county princess to be a princess, impossible..."
The secretary silently swallowed his words.
Then he silently comforted himself.
No problem, no problem. This is all between him and the county princess. It's nothing shameful, and it's not like he's deceiving the emperor.
They just didn't tell anyone; they weren't lying on purpose.
The more the secretary and the supervisor thought about it, the more at ease they felt, believing they could accept the gaze of others with composure.
In any case, the Princess of Penglai would never cuckold him!
The Secretary-General is now at ease, but Zhang Sheren is nearly frantic with worry.
If it weren't for the fact that he was still attending the morning court session, he would have loved to rush up to Shen Zhiyi, grab her arm, and shake it vigorously!
Shen Zhiyi, you'd better explain yourself clearly!
Hurry up and clear his name!
[This courtier is really something; why doesn't he write his own unofficial history instead of trying to get involved with the daughter of the Minister of Rites?]
Zhang Sheren couldn't keep up with Shen Zhiyi's train of thought for a moment.
Everyone was even more puzzled. Wasn't the story about Zhang Sheren interfering in the marriage of the most favored couple in the entire capital? How did it get involved with the daughter of the Minister of Rites?
Ever since.
The burning gazes of all the officials instantly shifted to the Minister of Rites.
The Minister of Rites, who was secretly dozing off, instantly woke up completely.
What? What is that thing? Why is it on him again?
Are you running out of explosive anecdotes to write? No inspiration? Come to me! I have tons of explosive anecdotes to share.
For example, the Minister of Rites had diarrhea a month ago, but he couldn't get to the outhouse in time and ended up pooping in his pants, hahaha.
Zhang Sheren's eyes lit up, and he began to write furiously.
The Minister of Rites closed his eyes without a sound. It had been a month, and Shen Zhiyi was still able to dig it up.
[And also, Secretary Lang, haha, he dreamt he was looking for a latrine all night, and didn't even wake up, so he just wet the bed.]
Secretary Lang blushed.
[I guess I don't have these kinds of dreams often enough. Unlike me, I have them so often that if I find myself dreaming about needing to go to the toilet, I have to wake up and go, otherwise I'll wet the bed.]
The secretary was on the verge of tears.
He has never had such a good memory in his entire life. It is so vivid that he will never forget it, even after he is buried in the ground and becomes a ghost.
Zhang Sheren's eyes lit up again.
We have the materials!
He even thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to include himself, the secretary, the junior supervisor, and the princess of Penglai in unofficial histories.
Innocence? To hell with that!
For the sake of his grand project of unofficial history, some small sacrifices are well worth it.
For example, the junior secretary is actually afraid of women; it's a really strange and problematic trait.
All civil and military officials in the court were shocked.
The secretary, Shao Jian, who was afraid of women, has been married for many years and is rumored to be deeply in love with the Princess of Penglai.
Rumors are indeed unreliable.
[The Princess of Penglai is afraid of men; she's terrified of any man she sees. Tsk tsk tsk, so after these two learned of each other's secret, they used it as the basis for their subsequent agreement to become a married couple.]
[Hilarious! These two could stay home all day, 365 days a year, without ever seeing each other.]
[I don't know where the rumor came from that this couple was very loving.]
Shen Zhiyi gave a strong look of disdain.
However, these are not the fundamental reasons why this couple was bound to break up sooner or later. The fundamental reason lies with Zhang Sheren.
Zhang Sheren nodded as he held his pen.
He understands, he understands everything.
He was the mistress of the couple, the Junior Secretary and the Princess of Penglai, who interfered in their "happy" marriage and gave the Junior Secretary a huge green hat.
The reason lies in Zhang Sheren's novel, "The Overbearing Prince's Charming Little Princess."
"Cough cough cough."
Now all the civil and military officials have settled in Bengbu.
Look what they heard.
Zhang Sheren, who was writing furiously, couldn't continue. He awkwardly looked up and noticed the strange looks from everyone.
He smiled politely.
Hey.
That's right, the recently popular bestselling novel that has swept the entire capital—"The Overbearing Prince and His Charming Little Princess"
I am but a humble person, and that is who I am.
But what does the story he wrote have to do with the marriage between Secretary Guan and Princess Penglai?
