Yue Jiang: "Your Highness, why do you think Miss Xiange keeps running to the East Palace? It's not just to talk to me, but because Xiange has feelings for Military Advisor Rong Ying."
“These times I’ve come here, ostensibly to keep my concubine company and relieve her boredom, but in reality I want to see Military Advisor Rong Ying more often.”
Jing Yan hesitated whether or not to accept the letter.
He used the excuse that Xiange was a member of the Cheng family to prevent Yuejiang from contacting this woman, and Yuejiang actually used the excuse that Xiange liked Rongying.
How did Yue Jiang come up with this lie? She tells lies so easily and skillfully.
“Rong Ying told me that he didn’t plan to get married, you know that.”
Yue Jiang nodded: "Of course I remember, but matters of the heart can come unexpectedly. What can I do if Xiange has fallen for Military Advisor Rong Ying?"
"It's really strange that Military Advisor Rong Ying doesn't want to get married. Could it be that he has a hidden illness?"
“No,” Jing Yan coughed awkwardly for Rong Ying, and sighed, “He carries the deep-seated hatred of his family’s blood feud on his shoulders. Although he is currently serving me, he hopes that one day he can avenge his family.”
"Unfortunately, the other party is no ordinary person, and the chances of Rongying's wish coming true in her lifetime are extremely slim."
"He is obsessed with something, so he finds it hard to pay attention to other things."
"Such deep-seated hatred, it turns out that Military Advisor Rong Ying has suffered so much," Yue Jiang said with slight surprise. Then she thought about it and realized that Rong Ying's relationship with Yu Chuxuan was extraordinary. Jing Yan even said that he was originally from the Yu Kingdom.
It seems that the enemy must be a nobleman from the Jade Kingdom, or even, in serious cases, a member of the Jade Kingdom's royal family.
"Yes!" Jing Yan felt a pang of sympathy as he thought of Rong Ying's tragic fate.
Suddenly, Yue Jiang said, "Wouldn't that mean we should get married even more?"
Jing Yan smiled helplessly: "Jiang'er, Rong Ying's heart is not here, I cannot force her to do something she cannot do."
Yue Jiang: "I didn't say that Your Highness should force Military Advisor Rong Ying to get married. I just wanted to say that Military Advisor Rong Ying's great revenge is so difficult to avenge that it is something that may never be achieved in this lifetime."
"Wouldn't Military Advisor Rong Ying suffer a lifetime of torment? He's still all alone, it's hard to say he's not trapping himself. If he gets married, he'll have someone very close to him, and he'll have children in the future."
“At least Strategist Rong Ying has a new goal to strive for. Even if his life comes to an end, he will still have happy memories to look back on. It's not like he's still suffering from his inability to take revenge when he's on his last breath, is it?”
"Your Highness, as Rong Ying's close friend, you wouldn't want to watch him live a life of melancholy, would you?"
“Of course I don’t want to,” Jing Yan said with pity in his eyes. When he looked up again, he saw Yue Jiang staring at him with a cunning look, like a fox, and with a clear idea in her mind.
"Your Highness, Miss Xiange and Military Advisor Rongying are such a perfect match! I think it's very likely that they will be a good couple!"
Jing Yan squinted, observing Yue Jiang's eagerness to grant his wish: Could it be that the woman from Yue Kingdom came to seduce Rong Ying?
“No, that woman is interested, but Rong Ying is not, so we will be an unhappy couple. I cannot force her into marriage,” he firmly refused.
Yue Jiang: "Your Highness, I did not ask you to force me into marriage. I heard that Xiange is a distant relative of the Cheng family and came here to wait for the elders of the Cheng family to arrange a good marriage for her."
"She never expected to fall in love with strategist Rong Ying. She was arranged to marry by the Cheng family, and she could have married someone she liked anyway, so she decided to be brave for once."
"There is no need for Your Highness to bestow a marriage at this time. Let's see if Xiange can move Military Advisor Rongying to marry her. If Military Advisor Rongying personally requests the decree at that time, Your Highness can then issue the decree to make it a perfect match."
"For now, Your Highness, how about giving Military Advisor Rong Ying more free time so that the two of them can get to know each other better?"
“I’m afraid it’s difficult. Rong Ying definitely has no interest in string music,” Jing Yan said, discouraging Yue Jiang’s confidence.
Yue Jiang asked in surprise, "Your Highness is so certain, is there some inside story?"
The inside story is that Xiange is from the Moon Kingdom, and Rongying was the first to discover it. Knowing that he was a Moon Kingdom person who had infiltrated, how could he possibly walk into a trap?
Conversely, Xiange didn't actually have any feelings for Rongying.
Seeing that Jing Yan remained silent, Yue Jiang muttered to herself, "Alas, if Military Advisor Rong Ying is truly unmoved, Xiange will be heartbroken for a long time."
"At least she is someone I feel a connection with. I will prepare several more invitations and invite Miss Xiange to the East Palace to comfort her in her disappointment."
“Well… it’s not impossible,” Jing Yan said instinctively when he heard that Yue Jiang wanted to invite more people to the East Palace.
Yue Jiang thought she had tricked Jing Yan, and said excitedly, "Your Highness, you have spoken, so you can't go back on your word. If they really get married one day, you must make it happen."
Jing Yan: "..."
They can't really be here to marry someone else. Let Rong Ying use this opportunity to keep an eye on Xiange. Once they have something on her, Jing Yan can deal with her behind Yue Jiang's back.
This also reduces the chances of that String Song bewitching Yue Jiang in the Eastern Palace, which is a huge advantage.
That resolved his inner conflict.
Finally, Jing Yan agreed: "Okay."
"hiss!"
Jing Yan came to his senses, while Yue Jiang clutched her stomach, frowned, and let out a soft moan.
He looked at Yue Jiang's belly and placed his hand on her abdomen with concern: "Alright, alright, your mother is just having a good time now and then. She didn't mean to bother you. Let your mother have her way."
Yue Jiang felt the baby in her belly gradually calm down, and she asked curiously, "Your Highness, how did you know it was the baby that was disturbed?"
Jing Yan chuckled: "Shang Yu said the baby can hear our voices. The baby is in your womb, and your joys and sorrows are intertwined. It must have been disturbed."
Yue Jiang sighed, "The little one hasn't even been born yet, and there are already complaints. I wonder who she'll take after?"
"Let me ask you something," Jing Yan said, bowing his head to Yue Jiang's belly and listening intently with his eyes closed.
Yue Jiang was caught off guard by his action, but Jing Yan had already wrapped his arms tightly around her waist, so she couldn't move and simply watched him act foolishly.
A moment later, Yue Jiang saw Jing Yan's brows furrowing and his long eyelashes fluttering, and she smiled.
"Your Highness, what did the child say that made you like this?"
Jing Yan was sullen and lied through his teeth: "Alas, the child said that Mother Consort is understanding, gentle and beautiful. The child got to know Mother Consort early on and has been growing up to look like Mother Consort."
"As they grew older and became more sensible, they learned that they had a father. Our children can serve water, and they resemble their mother in appearance, but their personalities are similar to those of their father."
“Oh, so Your Highness sometimes finds me noisy,” Yue Jiang said, tilting her head back with a low, resentful tone.
“Jiang’er has misinterpreted my meaning again.”
Jing Yan's relaxed expression froze. He was lying on Yue Jiang's lap, and when he raised his eyelids to stare at her, he could only see that she had turned her face away again.
All that was left for him was a smooth neck and a small chin, leaving him both amused and exasperated.
Yue Jiang didn't turn around, her reasoning sound: "Not necessarily. Has Your Highness never felt that I've been noisy?"
"There's always that fleeting thought that Your Highness is the one who misunderstood me. Your Highness, just tell me if it's true or not."
Jing Yan remained silent, then shifted his position to lie on his back, allowing him to see Yue Jiang more clearly. He stretched out his arm and gently moved Yue Jiang's cheek with his index finger, making her look down at him.
He then sat up slightly and whispered in Yue Jiang's ear, "It wasn't too noisy, but it was a bit annoying."
