The swelling and pain in Jiang Ling's lips had subsided a little by the next morning, and she took a carriage to the Prince of Jingnan's Palace.
I was so excited along the way.
Because there is great news.
Jiang Yi is going to get engaged to Su Wantang!
-
Yesterday afternoon, when the two of them were being affectionate in the hall, the good news reached the Zhou residence.
Zizhen jogged all the way to Qiyun Pavilion, and saw Luzhu, Yesong and Yebai standing outside the pavilion.
"What are you doing here? Why don't you go inside?"
As she was about to go in, she was stopped by Luzhu.
Luzhu still looked a little embarrassed and whispered, "Don't go in yet."
"I have something to report to the young lady." Zizhen was puzzled.
Lu Zhu coughed twice and said, "Well... the young master and the young mistress are not available. Please go in and report later."
Zizhen glanced at her, then looked at Ye Song and Ye Bai beside her. Both of them looked quite unnatural.
She caught a glimpse of two figures behind the gauze curtain in the hall, who seemed to be hugging each other. She understood what was going on and felt a little uncomfortable. She stood obediently beside Luzhu.
"Then I'll go in later."
Jiang Ling learned the news before dinner. She was so excited that she wanted to go back to her parents' home to find out the truth. But then she thought again and decided to go the next day so that they could have lunch together.
"elder brother!"
As soon as Jiang Ling entered the main courtyard, she saw the whole family gathered in the main hall. She saw her old brother with a happy but naive face at first glance.
"Ling'er?"
Jiang Yi looked up and smiled even more deeply. When he saw her jogging, he frowned and stopped her.
"Don't run, be careful."
Jiang Ling, holding up her skirt, walked up the stairs into the main hall in three or two steps. She was greeted by a family of cheerful people and asked hurriedly, "Tell me what's going on?"
How come after not seeing each other for a few days, the two of them are suddenly getting engaged!
Jiang Yi's face showed shame and joy again, and several people talked to her at once.
Su Wantang and Jiang Yi have been keeping in touch these days, exchanging letters and small gifts, and their relationship is steadily growing.
Just yesterday, Jiang Yi got up in the morning and finished his morning exercise. He looked at the rising sun and felt the soft and bright sunshine shining on himself, and his heart was filled with excitement.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and suddenly thought.
What is Yunyi doing?
He should have gotten up and paid his respects to the Empress Dowager, and is probably having breakfast with her now.
She has a small appetite, so maybe she can only drink half a bowl of shrimp porridge, or eat a few exquisite meat wontons, and then pair them with some delicious and refreshing side dishes.
What will she do next?
I should first check on the lovely pots of flowers she has grown to see if they have grown any new green leaves or buds, and then water them.
Then I went back to my small study to read.
My eyes are sore from reading. Occasionally I look up to see the flowers and plants blooming outside the window and listen to the clear birdsong.
Occasionally...I will think of him.
Write him a letter, or read a letter he wrote to her.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yi's heart was already beating very happily in his chest.
These were the daily lives that Su Wantang had written to him in letters, and he loved reading them.
However, the scenes mentioned in the letter could only be described by his poor imagination.
If I could see it with my own eyes...
He sighed with regret, and then his heart started to itch, and he felt some courage surge forth.
So Jiang Yi walked all the way to Qingyunju, came in front of Jiang Lianshan and Meng Wanjie who were having breakfast, and knelt down and kowtowed in front of their surprised gazes.
The sound was still mixed with the moisture of the early morning.
"Dad, Mom, I want to marry Princess Yunyi."
-
The air froze for a moment, and the chopsticks in Jiang Lianshan and Meng Wanjie's hands fell to the table with a clang.
The two exchanged glances, and Jiang Lianshan spoke first, asking seriously, "Have you thought it through?"
Jiang Yi raised his head, knelt straight, and answered in a resounding voice, "I've made up my mind."
His eyes were bright and clear, "I want to marry her."
Jiang Lianshan and Meng Wanjie looked at each other again and nodded. Jiang Lianshan stood up and patted his shoulder.
"Go change your clothes and follow me into the palace."
Jiang Yi was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and responded crisply, "Hey!" He stood up and ran towards Huayangtai.
The morning light shone on him, illuminating his energetic and cheerful face.
So the two of them went into the palace with the betrothal gifts, first went to pay their respects to the Emperor, and then went straight to Shoukang Palace to ask the Empress Dowager to marry Princess Yunyi.
This betrothal gift was prepared by Meng Wanjie a long time ago.
They said they didn't care about his affairs, but they were secretly asking about him. The two of them were well prepared.
When Jiang Yi was kowtowed respectfully to the Queen Mother, Su Wantang came in with freshly prepared snacks. She was so shocked that she almost knocked over the tray held by the maid next to her.
The Queen Mother looked up and saw her flustered and shy face. She smiled gently, then her face hardened again and she said to the tense Jiang Yi, "If you treat Wan Tang badly, I will never forgive you!"
Jiang Yi desperately suppressed his inner joy, fearing he would lose his composure, and answered loudly, "Yes! I will definitely not let Yun Yi down!"
Su Wantang was standing there hesitantly, not knowing whether to leave or stay, with her hands tightly clasped together and her face flushed with shame.
"aunt......"
The Queen Mother waved to her, smiled and pulled her to her side. Her face was full of kindness, and she sighed softly, "Now all my worries are gone..."
The two were engaged, and Feng Yu issued an edict to grant the marriage.
