If I remember correctly, when the original owner went to the Spring Banquet with Jiang Shengsheng, Song Yingying, who claimed to be a daughter of an official family, bullied her, saying that the original owner was money-minded and vulgar, and even deliberately poured tea on the original owner to drive her away.
However, since she was willing to be Concubine Chen's pawn and marry into the General's Mansion, it was obvious that she had already forgotten about this matter.
Song Yingying is good-looking and well-behaved. In the eyes of the emperor, she is a good girl.
However, there are many sons in the Jiang family, and it is not right to give it to only one.
Therefore, the emperor asked again: "Since we are talking about this matter, my dear ministers, do any of you have daughters of marriageable age? If you haven't arranged a marriage yet, why not show your talents? I am in a good mood today. If there is a suitable match, I will come forward and arrange a few good matches, which will also create a beautiful story!"
This is truly a godsend!
The officials' wives present were obviously excited. What the emperor meant was that he wanted to introduce some young masters from the general's mansion to each other!
The General's Mansion is very popular nowadays. If we can get married into this family, it would be a great blessing from our ancestors!
However, some wives of officials quietly warned their daughters not to show up. Although those young generals were handsome and wealthy, they were often away from the capital, and they were reluctant to let their only daughters marry them, leaving them far apart and unable to see each other more than once a year.
"Your Majesty, I, Yao Xiangdi, would like to perform a dance to wish Daning good weather, peace and prosperity for the country and its people!"
"Okay, accurate!"
Jiang Li found that she knew the first woman who stood up.
She was a flatterer who followed Song Yingying around all day long. When Song Yingying bullied the original owner, she often mocked her and added insult to injury.
"Is the Yao family also on the Third Prince's side?"
Jiang Li curled her lips and asked.
Seeing Gu Qingchen nodded, he suddenly felt bored. It turned out that everything was arranged in advance.
Jiang Li hadn't eaten much all day, so he was hungry now and started eating the food by himself.
Then three more girls came out and performed piano, music, and painting, but—
Every time a girl came out, Gu Qingchen introduced her like a tour guide in a scenic spot. In short, the fathers of these girls were all followers of the Third Prince, and these girls were all notoriously unruly and domineering in their own homes.
Thinking about how his brother was being blatantly plotted against by these people, Jiang Li lost his appetite while eating.
"You... seem to be very familiar with them?"
Listening to Gu Qingchen's introduction, Jiang Li inexplicably felt angry.
Gu Qingchen leaned in closer and said, "Madam is so popular right now. If I don't investigate thoroughly, and those people with bad intentions make Madam cry, then I, your husband, will be held responsible even if I die a thousand times."
Jiang Li: “!”
What the hell is this sweet name! Jiang Li felt like her ears were about to melt.
"It's not that serious."
Several brothers were looking at her. Jiang Li took a deep breath, making sure that nothing unusual would be seen.
Gu Qingchen held Jiang Li's right hand under the table thoughtfully, rubbing her index finger habitually, causing Jiang Li to feel numb all over.
My brothers are still watching...not daring to move...
"Your Majesty, this is not appropriate..."
Jiang Li pulled it gently, but it was useless.
The next moment, the man said, "Last night, my wife bit my finger. Shouldn't I comfort her?"
“!!!”
How could she not remember!
Oh my god! I made mistakes after drinking!!!
The anger she had just felt had already spread to Java. Jiang Li now just wanted to find something to do to divert her embarrassment!
"Your Majesty, these girls are truly wonderful, truly the best of gold and jade, with plenty of beauty to spare."
When the last girl named Ye finished showing her talent, Concubine Chen took the lead in applauding.
In particular, Concubine Chen raised her eyes and glanced in the direction of Jiang Li. Seeing that she looked indifferent at the moment, Concubine Chen smiled more obviously.
These girls were carefully selected by her, and none of them is easy to get along with. As long as one of them marries into the general's mansion, they will never have a peaceful life.
“It’s really good.”
The emperor nodded, then changed the subject, "Lord Jiang, if I grant marriages to several young generals, would you agree?"
Although Jiang Yao was not in the capital for many years, he knew from the expression of his wife across from him that these were not good marriages, but... thunder, lightning, rain and dew were all grace from the emperor, and he really didn't know how to refuse.
"Your Majesty, I don't agree!"
Just when Jiang Yao was feeling embarrassed, he saw Jiang Li stand up, walk straight to the middle of the hall and kneel down, "Your Majesty, I do not agree with these marriages."
“Bold!”
Concubine Chen didn't expect Jiang Li to dare to refuse directly. She angrily scolded, "Being able to receive the emperor's marriage is a blessing that no one else can even ask for. Princess Jingling, what is your intention in stopping it?"
Chen Fei had said this, and no matter what Jiang Li said, she would be accused of disrespecting the emperor's grace. Thinking of this, not only Chen Fei, but even Qin Ji, who had been silent, looked over.
"Your Majesty..." Jiang Li wiped her eyes gently with a handkerchief, and when she looked up again, her face was covered with tears.
The emperor, who was originally a little displeased, saw Jiang Li like this for the first time. He glanced at his younger brother and found that guy's expression was indeed frighteningly cold.
"What's going on? Don't worry, take your time."
After all, they are family members. The emperor immediately calmed down and comforted them.
"Your Majesty, I don't like those girls just now. I don't want them to be my sisters-in-law!"
Jiang Li's tone was like that of a jealous child. Concubine Chen almost clapped her hands for joy when she heard it. What a godsend this is. Jiang Li, oh Jiang Li, since you came to me yourself, don't blame me for taking advantage of you.
