Chapter 96



Hearing this, Tong glanced at Jiang Ying subconsciously.

Are the people from the Jiang family here to attend the banquet normally, or are they here for Jiang Ying?

She still hasn't forgotten how anxiously Mr. Jiang looked for Jiang Ying last time, as if his eyeballs had disappeared!

A concubine's daughter, is that so serious?

There were many people around who had the same idea as Tong, and they were talking among themselves:

"Did you hear that? Someone is coming from the Jiang residence!"

"Do you think he is here to support her, or is Jiang Yilin here to claim her sovereignty?"

"Hehe, don't believe what you hear from others. Is she a peasant girl or a shameful concubine of the Jiang family? We will know it soon!"

Almost all the ladies present were waiting to see Jiang Ying make a fool of himself.

Not to mention Meng Weiwei and Mu Wanbai.

Their eyes sparkled with contempt and ridicule. Those with a slightly lower tolerance would have cried a long time ago.

Jiang Ying, however, did not feel any pain or itch, and even managed to pay attention to Su Yilan's attitude towards Yan Zhuo in the pavilion.

The man continued to sit in the pavilion silently, and he was more patient than Meng Weiwei and Mu Wanbai.

Although her eyes were obviously drawn when they fell on Yan Zhuo, at least she didn't rush forward like a grasshopper to show off her presence.

Just as she was analyzing Jin'er, her hand was held by the man again, "Grandma and my uncle are here, let's go and greet them together."

Now he is becoming more and more skilled at holding the baby with his left hand and holding someone with his right hand!

Jiang Ying saluted Tong in a hasty manner and said, "Madam, please leave for a moment." Before she could finish her words, she was pulled away by Yan Zhuo, who said in a low and disdainful voice, "Why should we be polite to her?"

"There are so many people here, so she won't have any trouble with me again." Jiang Ying curled his lips.

When Mrs. Tong heard this, she immediately clenched her handkerchief with both hands and looked very unhappy. However, she heard a noise from the front hall.

It seemed that everyone stood up at once, followed by the hearty laughter of the King Qin, "Duke Jiang has returned to the capital. It's rare that he took the initiative to ask to be brought back this time. It must be for the marriage of his daughter and my son Yan Zhuo. Let's go and take a look together!"

Jiang Shang was one of the most important generals in Nanzhao State, and he was also a duke, so naturally he had an extraordinary status.

Among those who came with him, none of them had a higher official position than Jiang Shang.

It is also for the king's own sake, because he is a royal relative and not an idle minister.

Therefore, he always said he would go and pick it up, and others dared not to move.

When Yan Zhuo and Jiang Ying walked a few steps, they were just walking behind them.

Tong was the hostess, and she ran very fast. At this time, she showed her princess style the most.

King Qin wore a yellow jade crown and a bright royal blue brocade robe. He looked dignified and imposing. If you ignored his slightly bulging belly, he could be considered an elegant middle-aged man.

Seeing Tong rushing over, Prince Qin frowned slightly, "Didn't I ask you to ask Zhuo'er to bring the child to me and everyone else to see? How come you haven't come for such a long time?"

What else can I say! It was all because of that little bastard Jiang Ying that we wasted time!

Tong was filled with resentment, but it was not easy to complain at this moment, so she just swallowed it and said with a smile, "Just now, someone from Duke Jiang's mansion came. Your Highness doesn't know that Zhuo'er's mistress actually has some connections with the Jiang family..."

Before Tong could finish her words, one of the officials in a red robe poked King Qin curiously.

"Look behind us, aren't they your precious son and grandson? Oh, they are so plump and fair, so cute! It is said that those who serve the king are blessed. Among those of us who are about the same age, the prince got a grandson without any effort!"

Jiang Ying is petite and walks closely beside Yan Zhuo.

The main reason was that he was moving too fast and couldn't keep up.

However, from the perspective of King Qin and others, Jiang Ying's body was mostly blocked by the columns, so all they saw were Yan Zhuo and the fat baby jumping around in his arms.

The fat baby was dressed in golden red, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, bright eyes and white teeth. His snow-white skin formed a sharp contrast with his clothes.

The little feet were wobbling, but both hands were tightly grasping the adult's collar, as if he was afraid that the adult would not hold him firmly and he would fall. His cute and cautious look was very attractive.

Even some officials who already have young grandchildren at home couldn't help but take a few more glances.

I feel sorry for Yan Zhuo for having a concubine. Look, the child he gave birth to seems to be more blessed than the prince in the palace.

늀Like the little golden boy under the seat of Guanyin.

Following the speaker's line of sight, King Qin also saw little Yan Zhuo. Although they were far apart, he fell in love with the child almost at first sight. The child was healthy, plump, and looked exactly like Yan Zhuo when he was a child. It reminded him of the beautiful relationship he had with his deceased wife when he was young.

However, welcoming Duke Jiang was a big deal at the moment, so the King looked away after taking one look. Then he looked again and turned his head back with a smile that suddenly became more sincere. "Haha, is that so? There aren't many heirs in the palace, so I'm naturally happy to have a new baby. I don't care whether it's a bastard or not."

This is the truth. In the royal family, the legitimate heir has always been in power, and the difference between legitimate and illegitimate children is not that great.

He looked forward to the second son born to Tong, and the eldest son born to his late wife, whom he also valued.

It's just that women don't talk about it all the time.

In this way, the guests who came to attend the banquet were divided into three teams, and all rushed to the gate of the Qinwang Mansion.

In the front were officials led by King Qin, in the middle were Yan Zhuo and Jiang Ying, and in the back were Meng Weiwei and others who had come over to watch the excitement.

The battle was a bit scary, but if you didn't know what was going on, you wouldn't know.

Yan Zhuo wanted to leave a good impression in front of Jiang Shang, so he unconsciously brought Jiang Ying forward. However, they couldn't squeeze forward at all. The main reason was that they were Jiang Ying's women, and it was inappropriate for them to squeeze among a group of old men.

"Forget it, let's just stay here. I guess we'll be in soon."

Yan Zhuo gave up and pulled Jiang Ying to stand in a more open place beside him. The chubby baby in his arms swung his legs even more happily!

[Wow, I see my grandpa. He is a great general. He must be very impressive, right?]

In his previous life, he admired soldiers the most. Although he later learned martial arts and had a position under the young emperor, he never had the opportunity to fight on the battlefield. This was Xiao Yanji's biggest regret.

Because of excitement, he no longer cared about being afraid. He loosened his hand, turned around, and stretched his neck to look forward. The look of anticipation to see Jiang Shang was even more eager than Jiang Ying to see his father.

Yan Zhuo was confused, "Why does this kid like to join in the fun so much?"

Jiang Ying secretly laughed and thought to himself, you don't understand this, which little boy doesn't have a military dream?

In front, the voices of King Qin and Jiang Shang exchanging greetings could be heard, but they were not clear enough due to the distance.

She heard every word of the gossip behind her.

"Jiang Shang has returned to Beijing. What will happen to the border if he leaves?"

"Soldiers guarding the border have to return to the capital without a plan. If he dares to come, it must be the emperor's permission. Why ask?"

"Well, who cares whether he comes back or not? We just feel sorry for the Jiang family. They were the best among men, but now they have become like this!"

"Jiang Yuanyi and Jiang Yuanchen? They are here, let me see where they are!"

It has to be said that the group of young ladies became even more excited at that moment.
