Jiang Jiang exclaimed, and the travel journal fell to the ground with a "pa" sound. Lu Zheng, however, chuckled softly and nuzzled her nose. "Since Madam likes my looks, why don't you take a look at me more often?"
He deliberately tilted his face upwards, letting the flickering candlelight fully illuminate his features. This angle made him look exceptionally handsome, the cinnabar mole at the end of his eye almost burning one's eyes.
Jiang Jiang felt a burning sensation in the tips of his ears, and he tried to dodge but was grabbed from behind.
Lu Zheng's breath brushed past her lips, with a hint of temptation: "What does Jiang Jiang like about me? Is it here..." His fingertips touched the corner of her eye, "Or here..." and stroked her light-colored lips.
Jiang Jiang just felt that he was like a fox spirit that sucked people's energy.
She was so tired that she fell asleep as soon as she hit the bed, but he still had energy.
The wedding holiday lasted only ten days, and in a flash, Lu Zheng had to go to court again.
Seeing that he was very tired, Jiang Jiang offered to help him with the accounts.
While flipping through the account book, she heard her maid Feng Xin rushing back from outside, gossiping, "Prince An has gone to the mansion to propose marriage."
Jiang Jiang nodded without any other reaction.
Feng Xin was a bit anxious: "The eldest lady is also insisting on marrying Prince An. Now the rumor is that the Prime Minister only promised his daughter to the Sixth Prince after seeing him."
Taking sides with the prince is a sensitive matter.
Especially when the emperor of the current dynasty is in his prime.
Jiang Jiang's marriage to the Ninth Prince did not cause much discussion except for some people who felt sorry for her. Qi Wei believed that he was a disabled person and would never be able to ascend the throne in this life.
The Sixth Prince, Prince An, is different. His mother is a noble concubine and is quite favored by the emperor. He can always put forward his own unique insights in the court and has many supporters behind him.
Now, if we get the help of the Prime Minister, the wind direction in the court will change.
Prime Minister Jiang had never betrayed Lu Zheng in his previous life, and it was certainly impossible for him to do so in this life, so Jiang Jiang was not in a hurry.
Prime Minister Jiang should keep his distance from the Sixth Prince to prevent the Emperor from becoming suspicious of him.
After leaving the court, Lu Zheng also mentioned this matter to Jiang Jiang, his eyes fixed on her expression: "They all say that the two sisters of the Jiang family have the same status but different fates."
Jiang Jiang looked into his eyes, and there was a painful struggle in those bright phoenix eyes.
He was afraid that she thought so too.
Jiang Jiang reached out and touched his cold face. He must have hurried back home after the court session. She warmed his face with her hand, feeling distressed. "You have to live your life yourself, not follow other people's advice."
Lu Zheng held her hand tightly and whispered, "I understand. I'm just afraid someone will come and say something in front of you and disturb your mood."
Jiang Jiang smiled, tilted her head and thought for a moment, then coaxed her: "Then you have to work harder, my husband, to make them shut up."
Seeing that she looked natural and didn't blame him for the gap, Lu Zheng felt that his heart was warmed by her.
"Jiang Jiang, believe me." He raised his eyes, his gaze like a blade, transforming the seven-color brilliance into ten-color danger. "Give me some time, and I will make sure no one in the world dares to talk about you."
He looked like a sharp sword just out of its sheath, and only Jiang Jiang dared to put his hand on his blade.
--
Jiang Yun finally got her wish and became Lu Xuanxuan's legal wife.
He treated her more gently in this life.
Apart from always asking about his parents' attitude towards him, Jiang Yun felt that there was nothing wrong with his life.
She said to Lu Xuan: "I believe you have the ability and can ascend to the throne without my father's help."
At first, Lu Xuan thought she was just being polite. Why would he marry a princess whose in-laws had no support?
It wasn't until he realized that his father-in-law was truly heartless that he turned his attention to Jiang Jiang.
