Chapter 92: Marriage

Nan Jiao was in a state of confusion. She glared at him fiercely and said through gritted teeth, "Who do you say is the tigress?"

Zhan Beiheng said calmly: "Whoever bites it is it."

Nan Jiao: “…”

Zhan Yeyuan listened to their conversation with a faint smile on his face.

Feng Qingqing was a little jealous of Nan Jiao and Zhan Beiheng. Even though they were bickering, one inexplicably felt that their relationship was very good.

And she and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...

Ever since the last incident, she always felt that their relationship had changed. She no longer dared to act recklessly in front of him, but was instead cautious.

She didn't like this at all.

She especially missed the way they used to get along with each other. She could do whatever she wanted with him, without any restraints, and could say whatever she wanted and do whatever she wanted.

But now, she had to weigh everything she said and did carefully in her mind, for fear of upsetting him or offending him.

But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not changed.

He treated her the same as before and didn't make things difficult for her.

It's her own fault.

A moment later.

Unmarried women from ministers' families came on stage to perform their art.

Soon it was Jiang Zhiyan's turn.

Mu looked at her with a smile on her face and soothed her, "Don't be nervous, just be casual."

Jiang Zhiyan nodded with a gentle and sweet smile, stood up and walked slowly towards the open space in the middle for performances. Just as she stood firm and prepared to dance.

"Fourth sister, why don't I accompany you?" Nan Jiao stood up and said.

When Mu heard her words, her heart instantly rose in her chest, her whole body tensed up, and her face was full of worry.

What does she want to do!

This unfilial daughter definitely has bad intentions!

Jiang Zhiyan turned to look at her, and said with a faint smile without changing her expression: "Don't bother Fifth Sister, there are musicians in the palace."

Nan Jiao walked straight to the open space and said confidently, "I think I play better than the musicians. Your Majesty, please give your daughter-in-law a chance to perform."

She looked at Emperor Jingming.

Emperor Jingming glared at her with a dark face. Everyone in the capital knew that she was a clueless idiot, yet she dared to say that she played better than the musicians!

He felt heartbroken when he thought that his beloved son had been touched by her.

She performs when she wants to perform.

If she didn't play as well as the musicians, he would punish her!

"Okay." Emperor Jingming said loudly.

Jiang Zhiyan's expression was slightly stiff. She looked at Nan Jiao, who was smiling brightly, with her hands tightly clenched under her sleeves. She definitely didn't come here to accompany her out of kindness.

What to do?

She must perform well today and strive to get the emperor's marriage proposal.

Nan Jiao approached Jiang Zhiyan and patted her shoulder: "Fourth sister, this is our first time performing on the same stage. I will cooperate with you."

Jiang Zhiyan smiled uncomfortably, and said in a voice that only they could hear: "Jiang Nanjiao, what do you want to do?"

Nan Jiao said innocently, "I'll accompany you!"

Jiang Zhiyan: “…”

Zhan Beiheng frowned. What did this woman want to do?

One look at her expression told me she was going to do something bad.

The musician quickly made way for Nan Jiao.

Nan Jiao looked at the guqin on the table, her red lips raised in a beautiful arc, "Fourth sister, what kind of song do you want?"

Jiang Zhiyan calmed down and said, "Gently."

She can't mess around!

Maybe Jiang Nanjiao came up to provoke her on purpose, in order to make her lose her composure. If she made mistakes in her performance, she couldn't blame her.

Nan Jiao looked at the strings of the zither and gently plucked them with her slender white fingers. In an instant, the soft sound of the zither sounded like the sound of gurgling water, pleasing to the ears.

Zhan Beiheng was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this woman could really play the guqin.

Jiang Huai also had a look of surprise on his face. He remembered that his fifth sister had never learned it, but Jiang Zhiyan had been learning piano since she was a child. But now in comparison.

But Nan Jiao is better.

When did she learn it?

Before returning to the Jiang family?

Mu's eyes were not on Jiang Zhiyan. She stared at Nan Jiao intently, fearing that she would do something bad. But listening to the melodious piano music, she was a little bit unbelievable.

That idiot played this?

She was the only one there, and she really couldn't cheat under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Her playing is just so-so, but she says it's as good as the musicians in the palace. She is really thick-skinned.

After making sure that Nan Jiao didn't move, Jiang Zhiyan gradually felt relieved. She twisted her slender waist and spun on the ground on tiptoe.

Zhan Qingheng's eyes were always fixed on Jiang Zhiyan, his eyes were gentle and infatuated. He really liked her and wanted to marry her as his princess.

Suddenly, he looked up at the queen.

The Queen met his gaze and smiled to reassure him, then looked at Emperor Jingming, "Your Majesty, Qingheng and the fourth lady of the General's Mansion are in love with each other, it's time to marry him off as a wife."

Jiang Zhiyan was the favored daughter of the general's mansion, so she was naturally satisfied.

After all, she has the power of General Jiang behind her.

Emperor Jingming pursed his lips, and after some consideration, he said, "I will arrange a marriage for them later."

Anyway, the princess that Bei Heng married was also from the General’s Mansion.

"I would like to thank the emperor on behalf of Qingheng." The queen smiled happily and felt relieved. She had tried to propose it several times before, but he refused.

Fortunately, he agreed this time.

After a dance.

Jiang Zhiyan heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, nothing went wrong. She was very satisfied with her performance and immediately bowed and prepared to go down.

Emperor Jingming looked at Zhan Qingheng who was sitting on the table and asked sternly, "Prince Rui, do you have a woman you want to marry?"

Jiang Zhiyan's heart began pounding when she heard this, and she stopped walking.

Zhan Qingheng quickly stepped forward and said excitedly, "Father, I want to marry the fourth daughter of the Jiang family as my princess. Please grant my wish."

Emperor Jingming looked at Jiang Zhiyan, "Miss Jiang Si, are you willing to marry Prince Rui?"

Jiang Zhiyan showed a shy smile on her snow-white face. She tried hard to suppress her excitement and said with a soft laugh, "I am willing."

Emperor Jingming looked at them and said sternly, "Since you like each other, I will grant you marriage. Prince Rui will marry the fourth daughter of the Jiang family as his principal wife. I will issue an imperial decree tomorrow."

"Thank you, Father!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhan Qingheng and Jiang Zhiyan were both excited that they could now be together legitimately.

Mu was so excited that she almost fainted, and the smile on her face never stopped. "Jiang Huai, look at how promising your fourth sister is. She is going to be the Princess of Rui."

Jiang Huai reached out and pressed his forehead. He thought she must be crazy.

Prince Rui is far inferior to Prince Jin.

Nan Jiao was not happy at all when she married into the Prince Jin's Palace. However, she was happier to marry Jiang Zhiyan, an adopted daughter, than to marry her own daughter.

He really didn't understand what she was thinking.

No matter what Nan Jiao was like in the past, she is still a descendant of the Jiang family.

Nan Jiao looked at the man and woman standing in the middle, being stared at by everyone, with a slight smile on her face. Suddenly, a group of colorful butterflies flew over from afar.

"Oh my god, look! There are so many beautiful butterflies!"

"Why are there so many butterflies so late at night?"

"Was it because of Miss Jiang Si's dancing that attracted them?"

“…”

As Mu listened to all the praises around him, the smile on his face deepened and he looked very proud.
