Chapter 98 Good News from Heaven
Three days later, Jiang Yuyan received an imperial edict, in which Emperor Sheng Yuan named her Princess Lanmeng and granted her the right to enter the palace at any time.
Jiang Yuyan accepted the order and expressed gratitude.
Emperor Sheng Yuan seemed to have aged suddenly, with deep reluctance and melancholy in his eyes, and asked: "Why?"
Jiang Yuyan said calmly: "I said in the past that I would not enter the harem, but only serve as a female doctor..."
Emperor Sheng Yuan was silent for a moment and said, "Do you really want to marry Jiang Ming'an?"
"How can I let down the Queen's kindness?"
Seeing the cold look of the beauty in front of him, Emperor Sheng Yuan reluctantly asked again: "Have you ever had the slightest affection for me?"
Jiang Yuyan looked at him deeply, "Your Majesty treats me well, how can I remain indifferent. That night, Your Majesty and I are even. Everyone has their own aspirations, so please give me some respect, Your Majesty!"
When talking about that night, Emperor Sheng Yuan felt guilty, remorseful, and a little heartbroken.
Jiang Yuyan turned and left.
Emperor Sheng Yuan stood there for a long time, looking at the woman's lonely back, feeling lost.
The General's Mansion was blessed with good news. When the imperial decree granting marriage fell on Jiang Ming'an's head, he barely had time to react.
The Imperial Household Manager, Eunuch Li, said with a smile, "Congratulations, young general. Why don't you accept the imperial edict?"
Mrs. Gu was also smiling happily, "Why don't you thank me tomorrow? What are you thinking about?"
"Oh, OK, I will thank your Majesty for your grace!"
Jiang Mingan was so excited that he could hardly hold the imperial edict. If he had not been accustomed to the cold and serious attitude for many years, he would have jumped up in the next second. Princess Lanmeng, Shen Canglan, is a saint! The saint is willing to marry him!
Amid the teasing, gratified or envious gazes of everyone at home, Jiang Mingan calmly took a step forward and said, "I'm going to practice martial arts!" Unfortunately, his hands and feet did not move at all, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
Jiang Mingan was practicing with his sword and gun in the inner courtyard, sweating profusely, but his heart was so excited that he couldn't believe it. Ever since the Lotus Appreciation Banquet, he had been thinking about her all the time.
Trapped in the capital, he was distracted all day long. He wanted to go to the palace to see her but couldn't find a reason. God had mercy on him, and he heard his voice!
While the general's family was happily preparing for the wedding, Jiang Yuyan was busy renovating the house.
She did not accept the house granted by the emperor, but bought the two houses between Chen Garden and Jiang Mansion at double the price, and connected them to form a princess's mansion with carved beams and painted buildings. She even asked the Youyun Guards to open three underground passages, from Chen Garden all the way to Jiang Mansion.
The emperor didn't say anything, but only rewarded him with countless gold, silver and jewelry.
Unfortunately, after Shen Yi knew that she was going to have a fifth son, he was really angry. If Jiang Yuyan hadn't told him to go back to the valley to see his son during the Mid-Autumn Festival, he would probably have been angry for several days and would not have allowed the underground construction.
Xiao Yuanyan and Qin Shangyu had experienced loss before, and now everything was based on her feelings, so his expression was relatively calm.
Jiang Yuyan felt a little guilty. She tried so hard to coax one person and that person that she almost strained her lumbar muscles.
That night at Jiang's house, while they were both in a good mood, Jiang Yuyan brought up the matter of returning to the valley during the Mid-Autumn Festival at the dining table.
"I will go back to Lingshu Valley on August 15th."
"What's the matter?" Xiao Yuanyan and Qin Shangyu were both very nervous.
Jiang Yuyan said with a guilty conscience: "Shen Yi and I have a son in Lingshu Valley..."
The two were immediately surprised and seemed to be deeply shocked. Xiao Yuanyan asked: "You and him, you already have a child?"
Jiang Yuyan nodded, not daring to look at him.
Xiao Yuanyan suddenly became jealous and said aggrievedly: "Wanwan didn't give birth to a child for me. Is it because I didn't do a good enough job?!"
"This..." Jiang Yuyan was overwhelmed. "Giving birth to a child requires the right time, right place, and right people. Besides, we couldn't leave Lingshu Valley without this child."
Qin Shangyu was also a little uncomfortable, but seeing her embarrassment, he comforted her: "Wanwan, we just... just didn't react for a moment. It's good to go back and take a look. Do you want to take the baby back?"
Jiang Yuyan looked dejected when she talked about this. She shook her head and said, "I can't take it back. I'll just take a look."
The two looked at each other, and Xiao Yuanyan said in a gentle voice: "As long as it's your child, we like it. I'll go with you."
Qin Shangyu said, "I'll go too."
"Absolutely not." Jiang Yuyan hurriedly stopped him, "Shang Yu is now a member of the imperial court. If you go with him, it will make too much noise and will attract the attention of those people. A Yan..." Jiang Yuyan paused and said, "If you go, Shen Yi will be embarrassed in front of the clan members."
Xiao Yuanyan said in a deep voice: "Do you care about him so much?"
"It's due to his identity and clan rules, so let's just understand each other..." Jiang Yuyan was helpless.
"Then I'll send you to Lingshan." Xiao Yuanyan insisted. He was really afraid that she would disappear again.
"Okay." Seeing this, Jiang Yuyan had no choice but to nod obediently.
After the matter was settled, Jiang Yuyan started to talk business. She was still thinking about creating some trouble for Xie Yi, otherwise she would not be able to leave with peace of mind.
"The Fourth Prince couldn't hold back any longer, and not long ago he hired an assassin to kill the Second Prince, but was saved by Cang Yi and the others."
"The imperial concubine and the others must be making further moves." Qin Shangyu murmured.
"Indeed, we don't have to sit and wait for death. We might as well take the initiative and dig a trap for the Fourth Prince." Jiang Yuyan drew a circle in the air with her index finger and laughed playfully.
Seeing her like this, Qin Shangyu also smiled gently, "What do you want to do, Wanwan?"
Jiang Yuyan whispered: "You...find two people...and use this as a trap to enforce the law..."
Qin Shangyu struggled to understand her words, "Fishing enforcement? I wonder if the Fourth Prince can take this bait?"
"Since he failed to win over the poor family members, Xie Yi must want to train a few of his own. Besides, he just spent a lot of money on hiring assassins!" Jiang Yuyan was proud, "If he doesn't fall for us, he won't lose anything. If he falls for us, he will be completely finished!"
"Good!" Qin Shangyu praised: "It is indeed a good idea! Your Majesty will not let anyone who cheats in the imperial examination off lightly."
"Haha." Jiang Yuyan laughed out loud as she thought about it. She turned around and asked Xiao Yuanyan, "Is there any news about the Third Princess recently?"
Xiao Yuanyan had long wanted to kill the princess and had been keeping an eye on the situation, fearing that it would lead to trouble at the Jiang residence.
"Since she was released that time, she seldom went out, and only troubled the husbands and servants in her mansion."
Jiang Yuyan felt very bored, "What a rotten person!"
Xiao Yuanyan said: "Don't worry about her, sooner or later we can deal with her legitimately."
"Yeah." The few of them conspired for a long time, and Jiang Yuyan was so sleepy that she yawned several times. Now the two of them had a tacit understanding, and soon Qin Shangyu picked her up gently and carefully and walked towards his own yard.
