The news of Xia Ningxing being granted marriage to Lu Tingli spread across the entire imperial city as if it had grown wings.
Both the common folk and the royal relatives couldn't help but discuss it in great detail.
"It is said that this Xia Ningxing is the legitimate daughter born to Minister Xia's primary wife from the countryside, and although she's a legitimate daughter, she grew up in the wilderness, crude and powerless, inept at music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. What on earth did Prince Tingli see in her?"
"Who knows, but I heard she is extremely beautiful, maybe he was drawn to her face."
"Ah, this is such a superficial era!"
"Prince Tingli is the most handsome man in the court, full of wisdom and learned, it's such a waste to match him with a country girl."
"Exactly!"
"How pitiful and lamentable."
