Have you heard? The young Prince Kang actually married a maid!!!
Zhou Yuhuai was tricked into spending a night with a maid. The next morning, they were caught in the act. The emperor already wanted to make things difficult for him, so he arranged their marriage, and Zhou Yuhuai had no choice but to marry her.
Ning Niang had been born into this world from the womb as a maid in the Minister of Revenue's household. In one fell swoop, she leapt from servant to princess consort. She knew that many people thought she was unworthy of the position, but she wanted to secure her place. So she went to great lengths to win Zhou Yuhuai over, only to be turned away every time! At last, she couldn't take it anymore and slapped him hard in front of a crowd.
She finally understood: if a gentle approach wasn't going to work, there was no need to keep currying favor. The emperor had arranged their marriage, and unless Zhou Yuhuai wanted to rebel, they could never divorce! So Ning Niang decided to use this opportunity to make money and, while she was at it, to "make a move on him"!
But as she kept at it, Ning Niang began to realize something was off. Why did Zhou Yuhuai keep staring at her? Had he seen through her?
The hottest topic on the streets and alleys of the capital was when this handsome young prince would divorce his wife. Even the high-ranking officials and nobles were secretly placing bets, each one wagering more than the last!
Then, just after they placed their bets, they saw the young prince kneeling before his wife, begging her not to divorce him. Um... could they quietly get their bets back?
