Chapter 99 Meeting with Jiang Mingan
The wedding date of Princess Lan Meng and General Yu Heng was set for September 28th.
Jiang Yuyan and Empress Hua had informed each other that they wanted to go back to the valley to worship their ancestors before the wedding. The Empress was in a good mood at the moment and agreed. She only told her to tell Jiang Mingan.
Thinking of her fiancé bestowed by the emperor, Jiang Yuyan had many thoughts and was hesitant in her mind, so she decided to make an appointment to meet him before leaving.
When Jiang Ming'an received the message, his face turned red unnaturally. General Yuheng, who usually didn't dress up, took him half an hour to dress up before he went out.
The two met on the third floor of Canshang Restaurant.
As soon as Jiang Mingan entered, he saw the person who was as far away as the moon, standing in front of the window, as if thinking about something. There was a faint sadness between her brows, which did not detract from her peerless beauty, but made her look even more pitiful.
"Princess!" Jiang Ming'an's throat became blocked and he had trouble breathing.
“General…” Jiang Yuyan turned around, parted her red lips and smiled at him.
Jiang Mingan was dazzled by the bright smile for a moment, and looked away unnaturally, as if he was doing business, "What is the matter with the princess?"
The tone was stiff, not like a date between an unmarried man and woman, but more like a business meeting.
Jiang Yuyan looked at the man's red ears and felt amused.
This general is usually serious and cold, but he is very innocent and awkward with women, which is quite a cute contrast.
"General, please take a seat." Jiang Yuyan gestured for him to take a seat, picked up the purple clay teapot on the table and poured him a cup of tea, then said slowly, "There are some things..."
Jiang Mingan was moved by her graceful movements, raised his teacup and took a sip to cover up, saying, "Princess, please speak."
Jiang Yuyan lowered her eyes to look at the wisps of tea smoke, and said faintly: "I wonder what the general thinks of my marriage with you?"
Hearing this, Jiang Ming'an frowned slightly, and sat even more meticulously, saying in a deep voice: "I will follow the emperor's will."
Jiang Yuyan stared at him, her tone confused: "Is it just because of the imperial edict?"
"No!" Jiang Mingan denied it immediately, showing anxiety and restlessness.
"Then... why?" Jiang Yuyan tilted her head and looked at him with a faint smile on her lips.
Jiang Mingan's cold face seemed to have cracks, and after a while he said: "I admire the princess..."
The man's face and neck turned red after he said this.
Jiang Yuyan looked at his expression and was secretly shocked. This general seemed to like her more than she thought.
"It seems that the general likes me very much?" Jiang Yuyan ran her fingertips across the cup, raised her eyebrows, and raised her voice.
Jiang Mingan said nothing, his eyelashes trembling like sieves. The knuckles holding the teacup suddenly tightened.
After a while, he asked, "Does the princess volunteer?"
Jiang Yuyan was stunned.
Jiang Ming'an is a true hero. When Xiao Yuanyan talked about the war in the north, she admired him very much. It is said that a woman's love comes from admiration. She had a good impression of him every time she met him and even spoke well of him many times.
A closer look revealed that the man had sharp eyebrows and dark eyes, and was heroic and dashing, with the bearing of a great general. In modern times, he would be equivalent to a defense minister or a senior general, and it would be a good match for her.
So when the Queen talked to her about it, she really seemed to have no intention of objecting.
Jiang Yuyan felt a little embarrassed, feeling that she had been cheated again, but she still said frankly: "I think the general is worthy of anyone, and I am honored."
Jiang Mingan's face turned a little redder and he coughed twice.
The two of them were temporarily caught in an awkward atmosphere that seemed like a blind date.
Thinking of her identity and those gentlemen, Jiang Yuyan began to have a headache and her smile faded. Since they were going to get married, she couldn't hide her secret after all, and husband and wife should be honest with each other.
But, can Jiang Mingan be trusted?
Jiang Yuyan then whispered tentatively: "What would you do if I hid something from you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Mingan's brows suddenly frowned.
Her words didn't seem to be a joke. Instead, they seemed to be covered by a thick fog. My heart was in turmoil for a moment, and suddenly I felt as if I had walked through mountains of swords and seas of fire...
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn, and even the heat in the teacup had gone out.
After a while, Jiang Mingan finally said solemnly: "I don't know what the princess is hiding from me. If the princess is willing to tell me everything, as long as it does not harm the country and the people, I will protect you at any time! If the princess does not want to say... I am willing to believe the princess!"
"Thank you!" Jiang Yuyan breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes flickering slightly. In the end, she still didn't dare to reveal her true identity.
Before leaving, Jiang Yuyan and Jiang Mingan explained about returning to Lingshu Valley during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Jiang Mingan nodded to show that he understood.
When they were about to leave, he grabbed her wrist again. He seemed to have thought for a long time and said, "My princess is very smart and has her own ideas, but I hope that you will never put yourself in danger. After all, there are people around you who care about you. If something happens to you, they will all get hurt."
I would get hurt too.
Jiang Yuyan was stunned for a moment, then pulled back her hand and said, "General, what you said makes sense. I appreciate your advice!"
The warmth from Jiang Mingan's fingertips suddenly disappeared. As he watched her leaving, he always felt that there was still a mountain between their hearts, and he felt lost for a moment.
