Hidden Golden Branches

Chen Rong, the head of Jiahe County, relied on his parents' favor to choose his own son-in-law. Because she fell in love with Sun Yi, the youngest son of the Zhongyong Hou family, and asked for a marriage decree. When the war started, Sun Yi wanted to go to the front line to perform meritorious service. However, he was only a seventh-grade nomadic lieutenant and was not qualified to lead troops. So Chen Rong knelt down and begged her doting aunt, the imperial concubine, to let Sun Yi go to the front line. The emperor agreed, and it was originally intended that Sun Yi would go to the battlefield and perform outstanding achievements and come back to be promoted to a higher rank, so that he could be worthy of being the head of Jiahe County. Unexpectedly, Sun Yi married a low-ranking official and concubine in the frontier out of kindness. After returning to court victoriously, he had to exchange military exploits with the emperor for an imperial edict to break off the engagement. The emperor was furious, and others were promoted to nobility, but Sun Yi was still a seventh-rank nomadic lieutenant. Chen Rong still didn't give up. He tried several times to get rid of the concubine, but in the end, he angered Sun Yi, and his cruel words to kill Chen Rong broke her heart. Chen Rong, whose engagement was broken off, was spurned, ridiculed and talked about by others. Just as he was feeling disheartened, Ji Yuxian, a new scholar who returned to Beijing from Tongzhou to provide disaster relief, came to ask for his hand in marriage. Ji Yuxian, the prince of Anguo Gong, was praised by the world: as bright as the sun and moon in one's arms, as bright as a jade tree facing the wind. Ji Yuxian originally planned to go to the frontier to experience and come back to express his love to her. Who would have thought that Sun Yi would take the lead. God still favors crazy people, but that fool actually broke off the engagement... This article is not about rebirth or time travel. Hope you guys like it.
