Zhao Yiming looked at the Empress Dowager with a half-smile, "If the Imperial Grandmother is alright, then I will take An An back first. She was splashed with dirty water for no reason tonight, so she needs to calm down."
The Queen Mother was so angry that she was speechless. The Queen quickly tried to smooth things over. "It's too late today. You should go back first! I'll have someone send some nourishing ingredients to An An tomorrow."
Tian An thanked the queen with a smile and turned around with Zhao Yiming.
Yaoyao sent them to the palace gate before leaving. She hadn't been back to the palace for a long time, so she had to take this opportunity to spend more time with her father and mother.
After leaving the palace, the group said goodbye to each other. Zhao Yiming and Tian An left first, followed closely by Xiao Chen, Gu Jinyan and Gu Jinzhi, and the rest of the people also walked away together.
In the carriage, Tian An poked Zhao Yiming and smacked his lips, saying, "You're really ruthless. Aren't you afraid that you might kill someone if you're not careful?"
Zhao Yiming snorted coldly! "They dared to set their sights on you. I was able to give them a break and prevent them from having no descendants. They should be secretly happy!"
Tian An suddenly became curious and asked, "Who is that person?"
When she arrived, she was already unrecognizable, but from the Queen Mother's behavior, one could roughly infer that this person must have a close relationship with her.
Zhao Yiming said disdainfully: "Who else could it be? That second-generation descendant of the Jiang family who does nothing all day and only knows how to stir up trouble!
Now that he has become like this, I can be considered to have eliminated a threat to the people."
"Jiang Junfan?" Tian An exclaimed.
Seeing Zhao Yiming nod, Tian An couldn't help but sigh, "That's the only legitimate son of the Jiang family's grandson generation. The Queen Mother is really willing to spend a lot of money on him."
Zhao Yiming's eyes darkened and he raised his eyebrows to look at her, "So you still think Jiang Junfan is good?"
Tian An didn't notice his expression, and nodded and said, "I thought she wanted to destroy me, so she had to find a bodyguard, a beggar or something."
Zhao Yiming looked at Tian An's expression and was speechless. He said in a deep voice: "Do you know what you are talking about?"
Tian An paused for a moment, then she realized how careless she was to discuss these things in front of her fiancé!
But before Tian An could argue, oh no, explain, Zhao Yiming said, "I guess the old woman wants to take you for herself."
Tian An frowned and cursed directly: "She's dreaming! Who the hell is Jiang Junfan? Does she think I'm interested in him?"
Anyone with eyes knows how to choose!
Seeing her angry and disregarding her image, Zhao Yiming chuckled, "That's right, she's just daydreaming."
Afterwards, Zhao Yiming told Tian An everything he had found out.
In fact, the Queen Mother noticed Tian An when he cured smallpox and was named Xiangjun by the Emperor.
She was impressed by Tian An's medical skills and ability to make money, and wanted to win him over to work for her, but unfortunately she never had the chance. As the queen mother, she certainly couldn't talk to a country girl in person, and Jiang Wanmeng and Yonglin, who could establish a relationship with her, were both on bad terms with Tian An, so she could only wait for the opportunity.
It was not until the emperor arranged for Tian An to marry Zhao Yiming with lightning speed that she became anxious.
The best way to control a woman is through her marriage, but now that Tian An has been married to Zhao Yiming, no other man will catch her eye.
The only one who could compare to Zhao Yiming was her grandson, Xiao Su, the legitimate son of the Eighth Prince.
But she was unwilling to let Xiao Su marry Tian An. If it succeeded, Xiao Su would be the crown prince. How could a crown prince marry a girl from the countryside?
What's more, Xiao Su is not in the capital now.
She both looked down on Tian An and coveted her abilities.
It just so happened that the Queen was holding a Qiqiao Banquet and only invited young men and women from various families.
She planned this vicious plot.
Because she was resentful that Tian An was first married to Zhao Yiming, she had no intention from the beginning to let Jiang Junfan ask for Tian An as his legal wife.
Instead, she planned to wait until Jiang Junfan defiled Tian An and ruined her reputation, and then give her a position as a concubine as a charity, so as to control Tian An and make her work humbly for the Jiang family for the rest of her life.
After hearing what Zhao Yiming said, Tian An was furious. He immediately felt that Zhao Yiming had really not hit Jiang Junfan enough. "Why didn't you just beat him to death?"
Zhao Yiming reached out and embraced Tian An, "Don't worry! Your husband will not let him go. For now, I will spare his life."
Tian An blushed and pushed him away. "Go away, we haven't even gotten married yet! What nonsense are you talking about?"
Zhao Yiming was not annoyed when being pushed away. He turned around and took out two boxes from the secret compartment of the carriage and gave them to her. When they were opened, there was a pair of glass dolls inside.
Tian An took the doll and said with joy, "This doll looks quite like you and me."
Zhao Yiming picked up the female doll that looked like Tian An and said, "This is a Mohele I had specially made for us two. We each get one."
As he said this, he put the Mohelo in Tian An's image back in his hand, obviously giving the Mohelo in his own image to Tian An so that she would remember him when she saw it.
Tian Anle carefully put the Mohele that looked like Zhao Yiming back into the box and put it into the space.
Then, a question suddenly occurred to me: "Why didn't I see Jiang Wanmeng in such an occasion just now?"
Logically speaking, Jiang Wanmeng hated her so much, so there was no reason for her to miss her excitement! But just now, she clearly didn't see Jiang Wanmeng from beginning to end.
Zhao Yiming said nothing, with a faint smile on his lips, and then he took out a hairpin that looked like a palace lantern from his sleeve pocket like a magic trick.
The buyao is made of clear yellow and white jade hollow carving, with tassels made of broken yellow jade underneath. A pearl-sized luminous pearl is also placed inside the hollow palace lantern.
The night pearl emitted light, emitting a faint glow through the hollow yellow and white jade palace lantern, and the palace lantern became lit.
As Zhao Yiming put the hairpin on Tian An, he said, "I originally wanted to use glass, but then I remembered that you prefer natural jade, so I found a piece of raw stone and polished it."
At some point, the carriage stopped and Zhao Yiming pulled Tian An to get off.
Before getting off the car, he suddenly said without thinking, "Jiang Wanmeng can barely save herself, so she naturally doesn't have the energy to watch his brother's fun."
After saying that, he looked at Tian An again, "Didn't you say that Qiqiao Festival is also called Valentine's Day in your place? Don't worry about others for now, let's go and celebrate our own Valentine's Day!"
As he spoke, he pulled Tian An towards the busy street, and soon, the two of them blended into the crowd.
Jiang Wanmeng, who was incapable of protecting herself as Zhao Yiming said, was now being pinned down by a man with a scar on his brow and a fierce look on his face.
He happened to be caught red-handed by the guards patrolling the palace, and they couldn't help but stare with wide eyes.
