Chapter 379 - 379 379 Begging the Emperor Father to Grant
?Chapter 379: Chapter 379: Begging the Emperor Father to Grant Marriage Chapter 379: Chapter 379: Begging the Emperor Father to Grant Marriage Murong Jiu had never seen Ruan Hongwen; if it hadn’t been for today when he had drugged Lou Zixi under the command of the Fifth Princess, she wouldn’t have even remembered such an insignificant person.
Indeed, he was insignificant. Although Ruan Hongwen had been the Top Scholar in his past life, he had accomplished nothing notable, merely lukewarm in his endeavors.
However, he was likely part of the Fourth Prince’s faction, but it was unknown if he had been bought over by the Fourth Prince by now.
Although he was now a Tanhua, he was just an inconspicuous minor official in the Hanlin Academy, and it would take him a few more years to possibly be promoted.
But he was overshadowed by Lou Zixi, making it even more difficult for him to stand out.
Being a mere compiler in the Hanlin Academy was less appealing than being the sole Prince Consort.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have taken advantage of the situation, claiming he and the Fifth Princess were in mutual affection.
Originally, he had just wanted to frame Lou Zixi and ruin his perfect marriage arrangement, making him marry someone he didn’t like. But upon seeing the situation exposed, he immediately clung to the princess, showing his inherently selfish nature.
Jun Yuyan said to Murong Jiu,
“He is indeed very jealous of Lou Zixi, and he lacks personal morality. Although he hasn’t married yet, he likes to disguise himself to frequent brothels, fond of women.”
