Shaoyao's men also sped up their movements, "Madam, how could there be an imperial decree?"
Qingyin was about to shake her head when she found her hair was being held by Shaoyao. "I don't know, maybe it's for the general."
When Shaoyao heard that it was for the general, she didn't feel surprised at all.
It has been so long since the general returned triumphantly, and she has been muttering several times, wondering why the emperor's reward has not yet come down.
It seems that this time it has finally arrived.
Although Shaoyao was excited, she worked in an orderly manner and finished everything for Qingyin in a short while.
Qingyin walked to the door and asked, "Uncle Fu, where is the general?"
"It's packed."
Two voices sounded at the same time, and Uncle Fu smiled and left.
Qingyin looked at someone under the corridor, walked over happily, and stood side by side with him.
The two of them arrived at the front hall, and the eunuch who was to announce the decree had just arrived.
The imperial edict first praised Jiang Chen's achievements in a grand manner. Not only did it grant Jiang Chen the title of a king of a different surname, it also mentioned Qingyin.
Hearing the words "match made in heaven", Jiang Chen couldn't help but curl his lips.
Thinking back to that day in the Yangxin Palace, the emperor finally asked helplessly, "Do you think you are a good match for Qing?"
He seemed to have replied, "It's a match made in heaven."
Qingyin was shocked at first, then surprised.
"Thank you for your grace." Qingyin knelt down to express her gratitude.
The father-in-law smiled and said, "Congratulations, General, and congratulations, Madam."
Uncle Fu took the opportunity to step forward and stuffed a large bag of silver into the father-in-law's pocket, "Thank you for your help, father-in-law."
The old lady looked at this scene and found it a bit annoying.
Jiang Chen saw the old lady's expression, but he pretended not to know and turned his gaze back to Qingyin.
Qingyin felt the gaze on her and smiled back.
She knew that he had requested this imperial edict for her.
Otherwise, His Majesty would not have paid attention to her name.
It turned out that he had seen and remembered her uneasiness for so many days.
Now, I can finally return to the Shangshu Mansion with dignity.
Although her mother never mentioned the exchange marriage again, she knew that her mother was always worried.
On the contrary, every letter from her mother was to comfort her.
Qingyin took advantage of the fact that no one was looking at her and secretly put her hand into Jiang Chen's hand, whispering: "Thank you!"
Jiang Chen held the tender hand in his hand, feeling a sense of satisfaction.
After watching her father-in-law leave, the old lady spoke at the right time, "Zilin, come with me to the ancestral hall."
Qingyin quickly pulled her hand back, and when she looked again, she had regained her proper smile.
Jiang Chen held the imperial edict in his hand and took Qingyin's hand again with his other hand. "Together, father and brothers probably haven't seen you yet."
Looking at the holding hands, the old lady moved her lips and finally managed to hold back the three words "inappropriate".
She guessed that after returning from this victory, the emperor would commend the general's mansion and perhaps even give him a promotion.
Unexpectedly, he was promoted, but it was only Jiang Chen.
Being a king of a different surname, what a great honor this is.
Looking at the entire dynasty, the only ones who received this honor were the late King of Chu Han Yuan and Jiang Chen.
Logically, she should be happy, but should she be happy?
No……
His status as a king of a different surname has nothing to do with this general's mansion or Suizhou.
It is impossible for Sui Zhou to inherit the throne as a nephew.
In other words, no one can bear it except Jiang Chen's descendants.
When they arrived at the ancestral hall, the old lady said, "Kneel down."
Jiang Chen placed the imperial edict on the table, then gestured to Qingyin to kneel down with him.
Looking at the tablet above, a trace of pain flashed across Jiang Chen's face.
The old lady's eyes and eyebrows were also filled with sorrow. Suddenly, she said, "Zilin, do you know your mistake?"
Qingyin looked over, not knowing why.
Jiang Chen straightened his back and said, "My son knows his mistake."
Even if he doesn't know where he is wrong, since his mother says he is wrong, then he is wrong.
He didn't know why his mother didn't like him since he was a child.
But he remembered that before his father died, he held his hand and asked him to take good care of his mother.
Since he has agreed, he must do it.
The old lady looked at her son and frowned, saying, "Your eldest brother never forgets to bring you a copy of anything he has. It was he who persuaded your father to allow you to pursue a career in literature.
He just hopes that you can live well, but you have let him down.
Now you are building a career, but you are ignoring his children. Tell me, are you doing justice to your elder brother?"
Qingyin couldn't quite keep up with the old lady's train of thought.
What does this have to do with Jiang Chen?
Besides, if it weren’t for Jiang Chen, Jiang Suizhou would not be the prince.
To put it bluntly, thousands of people died on the battlefield. Does the emperor give special rewards to every soldier who died in battle?
It was because Jiang Chen led the troops and held his ground all the way, and even drove Xiliang back to its old nest, that he was able to have the General's Mansion and the position of Crown Prince that he could inherit.
Jiang Chen said nothing, but kowtowed three times to the tablet, then stood up. He extended his hand to Qingyin and said, "Let's go."
The old lady was so angry at this scene that her blood boiled and her hands trembled subconsciously.
Older people are most afraid of being too emotional.
And these days, she has been angry about so many things.
Qingyin sighed and said to the old lady, "Mother, my husband is fighting outside, forgetting life and death, not only for the people of Dafeng, but also for you, mother."
The old lady then set her sights on Qingyin. She frowned and shouted, "How dare you! It's not your turn to speak here."
Jiang Chen squeezed Qingyin's fingers to comfort her and said softly, "Mother, we'll take our leave now."
After so many years, he is actually tired.
He remembered,
The first letter he received from home was in the first year after his father and brother passed away. He risked his life, sneaked into the enemy camp, and took the head of the enemy general.
The emperor was very pleased and bestowed this general's mansion upon him.
When he saw the letter from his mother, he thought she would care whether he was injured and whether she would tell him to protect himself.
It is credible that there were only a few words in the letter, asking him to report to the emperor and appoint Sui Zhou as the crown prince.
He received another letter from home later, but at a glance, he knew that the letter was from someone else.
He remembered that during his first year on the battlefield, his father and brother showed him letters from his mother.
Although the handwriting in the letters at that time was not beautiful, he still remembers the concern and worry expressed between each line.
And the last letter home was four months ago.
That was the second letter her mother wrote to her personally.
Said he had found a wife.
But he concealed all the ridiculous things Jiang Suizhou did on their wedding night.
He just said that because he was not there, Sui Zhou was worshipping in this hall on his behalf.
I'll explain it to everyone when he comes back.
If there was no letter from Uncle Fu lying on the table, perhaps he would have thought it was his mother's sincere love.
Unfortunately, there is no if.
