"Congratulations to you too. You can return to the Moon Kingdom after my wedding," Yue Jiang said, looking intently at herself in the bronze mirror, ignoring Yue Lang.
Yue Jiang didn't even glance at him, which infuriated Yue Lang so much that he gritted his teeth in anger. If Yue Jiang were to marry someone from the Yue Kingdom, he would make that person know the price of taking his things.
Unfortunately, she was the crown princess of another country, so Yue Lang could do nothing about it.
Could it be that for Yue Jiang's sake, he intends to turn the two countries against each other? Yue Kingdom cannot afford to be targeted by other nations.
In the Moon Kingdom, Yue Lang can live a carefree life, but he can't live like that when there's constant war at home.
Yue Jiang can't affect him that much.
Suppressing his inner turmoil, Yue Lang put on an indifferent expression once again.
He casually tapped the corner of the table with his fan and gave a few serious instructions.
"His Majesty said that now that you have come to Jing Kingdom, you will be the Crown Princess of Jing Kingdom from now on. You must guard your position well and not let others take it away."
"Be smart in your actions, and never do anything that could lead to your deposition or impeachment, otherwise the Emperor will not condescend to speak kindly to protect you."
"After all, our Yue Kingdom doesn't rely on a marriage alliance with just one country. In the future, we will definitely cast a wide net to reach all the other countries. You are by no means the only hope for the Yue Kingdom."
Yue Jiang was used to it: "I've heard this a thousand times, eight hundred times, before I came out. You don't need to lecture me like this now. I'm not stupid. I won't get carried away as soon as I come out."
"As long as the Emperor remembers that he once sent a princess to Jing Kingdom for a political marriage, and thinks of it from time to time, I will be extremely grateful."
Of course, Yue Jiang didn't see herself as the only support for the Yue Kingdom; the Yue Kingdom had plenty of other people they could send out for marriage alliances.
If in the future a clear winner is determined among the nations, Yue Jiang will live to see that day.
It just so happened that the Jing Kingdom, where she lived, became the highest-ranking one, so she no longer had to be a slave of a conquered nation, and she had nothing to fear in this life.
If Jingguo can't reach that high position, Yuejiang thinks it's better not to compare ranks; living is the most important thing.
But Yue Kingdom can provide her with financial support when she needs it, and she can live comfortably in Jing Kingdom with money.
Yue Lang gave a light hum, took out two contracts from his pocket, and pushed them in front of Yue Jiang.
"You have people around you in the cinnabar mine, so you know how to make money from money, don't I need to teach you?"
Upon hearing about cinnabar mines, Yue Jiang immediately became interested. She didn't need anyone to teach her; she already knew how to make money with cinnabar.
Modern rouge and face powder contain cinnabar, and painting pigments also contain cinnabar.
Cinnabar also has medicinal uses; mercury is a product extracted from cinnabar.
Don't have too many ways to make money.
"Really for me?" Yue Jiang couldn't believe it. These two cinnabar mines happened to be located in Jingguo, which would be incredibly convenient for her to do business.
Yue Lang sneered, "When has the Yue Kingdom ever lacked money? You've only been in the Jing Kingdom for a few days, and you've seen too much poverty. You've become so ignorant."
The people of Yue are good at making money, but they can't just stay in their own backyard to earn money, so each country has some industries.
The same was true in Jingguo; it was quite common to have one or two cinnabar mines.
“That’s right. If you don’t see how poor you are, you’ll be so excited about these two cinnabar mines. Thank you so much,” Yue Jiang said without any politeness, and then folded the mining deed that Yue Lang handed her and put it into her sleeve.
Looking at Yue Jiang's money-grubbing appearance, Yue Lang felt it didn't match her stunning beauty at all, though it was still somewhat endearing.
But the thought of her having sex with another man tonight made Yuelang's heart ache.
He could only feign disdain: "Keep your money-grubbing face to yourself. If Jing Yan sees you like this, see how you'll handle it."
Yue Jiang wouldn't let Yue Lang interfere; Jing Yan wasn't raised on air.
What's wrong with loving money? When Jingguo was sending tribute to Anguo, if they didn't have to worry about money, they wouldn't have let the farmers suffer for so long.
Thinking of Anguo, Yue Jiang also thought of An Chenghuan. She asked, "Since An Chenghuan failed to marry into Yueguo this time, will he have to ask Yueguo for a princess again?"
Although the Yue Kingdom will cast a wide net and send beauties to various countries, Yue Jiang is currently the first Crown Princess to marry into a foreign land, so they will naturally favor her.
If Anguo were to re-establish a marriage alliance with Yueguo, wouldn't Yueguo be caught in the middle?
Given the hostility between Jing and An, Yue Jiang couldn't guarantee which "son-in-law" her motherland favored more.
Yue Lang shook his head: "It is our Emperor who has this intention and is willing to compensate him with one, but An Chenghuan refused."
“Jing Yan kidnapped you. If he can’t get you back, the Yue Kingdom will give him a new princess. This is nothing short of an insult. An Chenghuan will never accept such a shameful thing.”
"Without marriage, Anguo and Yueguo will not become enemies. It is said that he is going to marry a woman from the Anguo noble family."
"That's good," Yue Jiang said, her worries subsiding slightly.
An Chenghuan can marry anyone, as long as he doesn't become Jingguo's brother-in-law.
Otherwise, it sounds quite scary.
Yue Lang sneered: "You really are cold-hearted. Back then, you were the one who used your own methods to be chosen as the Crown Princess of Anguo. Now that you can't go to Anguo, you're quick to abandon her."
"I don't know whether it's a blessing for An Chenghuan to lose you, or a misfortune for Jing Yan to gain you."
Yue Jiang raised an eyebrow: "Congratulations again, you've dodged a cold-hearted person like me."
Yue Lang: "..."
...
Yue Jiang quickly dressed up as a bride. Today she was getting married from Qiluan Palace. At the auspicious hour, Jing Yan would come to pick Yue Jiang up and take her to the main hall for the ceremony. Yue Lang, her family member, would escort her to the wedding.
Yue Jiang, her head covered by a veil, was helped to the outside of Qiluan Palace, where Jing Yan was already waiting with his hands behind his back.
Hearing the noise, he slowly turned around, and what came into view was Yue Jiang dressed in a festive red that matched his own.
With the veil covering her face, he couldn't see Yue Jiang's appearance clearly, but he knew she must be extremely beautiful today.
Jing Yan strolled forward and stopped when he reached the spot.
After all, it was the Crown Prince's wedding, and the bride was a princess of the country, so neither side would make any excessive demands today.
As an elder brother, Yue Lang solemnly gave Jing Yan a few words of advice.
These were all empty promises from Jiang, who was eagerly awaiting the moon's arrival. Jing Yan nodded from time to time, accepting them all without question.
Finally, Yue Lang stopped speaking and handed over the wedding silk in his hand.
Before accepting it, Jing Yan solemnly made a promise.
"Yue Jiang will be my only wife in this life, and I will not let Yue Jiang down."
Yue Lang only had a faint smile on his face. He didn't know what kind of man he was, and he didn't believe Jing Yan's boast.
But hearing his resolute assurance that he was going to hand over a woman he desired but could not have, was unbelievable.
Yue Lang couldn't resist his mischievous thoughts. He turned to Yue Jiang and smiled, deliberately saying...
"Little sister, did you hear that? His Highness promises to be good to you for the rest of his life and never betray you. I'm so touched. I wonder if His Highness will take a new concubine and forget about you by this time next year."
"If Your Highness goes back on your word, can your brother take your sister home and raise her?"
“Brother, don’t talk nonsense,” Yue Jiang knew that Yue Lang wouldn’t stay quiet forever, and he even dared to talk back to Jing Yan.
Yue Lang disliked Yue Jiang's protectiveness of Jing Yan and continued, "Whether it's nonsense or not depends on Your Highness. If Your Highness is only saying this to add to today's joy, then of course I'm talking nonsense. But if Your Highness is serious, then where am I talking nonsense?"
He looked back at Jing Yan, his playful eyes gleaming. Yue Lang wanted to see how Jing Yan would save face.
