As for Yuan's mother.
During this period, Yuan Shaojun was drunk every day. If he had not been waiting for Jiang Linglong to bring back news from the plum blossom viewing banquet today, he would not even want to stay in this house full of sadness.
He didn't even notice that his mother was locked up in the woodshed by Jiang Linglong's order and was starving to death.
However, after Yuan Shaojun stepped forward, Wang Youquan took a half step back and said, "Wait a minute, General Yuan, this imperial edict is not for you."
Yuan Shaojun: “???”
"Miss Jiang." Wang Youquan didn't bother to pay attention to Yuan Shaojun's reaction. Instead, he turned his gentle gaze to Jiang Linglong. "This old servant now has two imperial edicts. In this one, to comfort your grief over the loss of your son, the emperor wishes to confer the title of Princess Jing'an on you. You will be granted a Princess's Mansion and may remain in Kyoto."
Hearing this, Jiang Linglong's eyes suddenly lit up.
Before she could speak, Wang Youquan produced a second imperial edict, "The Emperor has asked me to ask you, young lady, are you willing to go to Fanjiang to marry?"
"If you are willing, the emperor will grant you the title of Princess Anguo, a fief of 5,000 households, and make you the principal wife of the prince of Fanjiang." Wang Youquan had a very friendly smile on his face.
It's easy to let down your guard.
Talking to Jiang Linglong at this moment, he also sounded like an elder with earnest words, "Miss, you must think carefully. You have had physical intimacy with the prince of Fanjiang, and many people have seen it. If General Yuan doesn't mind, it's fine, but if..."
"If you want to marry again in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a good family."
"Besides, Princess Jing'an is just a title. Apart from a Princess Mansion, there's nothing else. Of course... choosing to be a Princess does have its advantages. After all, you don't have to go too far from home, and finding a safe place is more than enough. But you have to fight for a good future..."
Wang Youquan did not continue with the rest of the sentence.
He has said enough today.
Jiang Linglong was not a fool, so she could naturally understand the key points.
The emperor would grant the title of princess today. Firstly, there were too many people present, and if he didn't show his attitude, it would be embarrassing for the royal family. Secondly, it was also to comfort her pain of losing her son.
But the person who did something wrong was Prince Fanjiang, and the royal family could punish Fanjiang, but if she wanted more benefits, she should naturally ask Fanjiang for them.
But marriage is different!
If she went to Fanjiang, she would not be doing it for herself, but for the entire Ming Dynasty. The weight of this would naturally be different!
Besides...
Jiang Linglong turned her eyes to the side and glanced at Yuan Shaojun, who was still in shock, with a hint of disdain.
Today's miscarriage was naturally her plan. No matter how powerful the Prince of Fanjiang was, it would be difficult for him to sleep with her until she had a miscarriage. Let's put all that aside.
No matter in terms of talent, appearance or status, Prince Fanjiang is much stronger than the current Yuan Shao!
Even if she stayed in Kyoto, she probably wouldn't be able to find such a high-ranking family.
"Miss Jiang, you can take your time to think about it. There is no need to rush to give me an answer. I will wait here."
Wang Youquan was still as gentle and friendly as ever. When he worked for the emperor, sometimes there were no specific instructions from his superiors, but he knew exactly what to say and when.
Only then did Yuan Shaojun finally come to his senses, "Jiang Linglong, what does this imperial decree mean? What does it mean that you had physical contact with the prince of Fanjiang? How can you, a married woman, go to marry into a foreign alliance?"
Yuan Shaojun's eyes turned red.
But Jiang Linglong completely lost her patience and simply shook his hand away.
Just now she was willing to act weak because she didn't know how the royal family would deal with this matter, but now the result is out.
Then why should she pretend to be nice to a loser like Yuan Shao?
"Don't you understand what Eunuch Wang said? I told you before that Prince Fanjiang forced me to marry him. Everyone saw it. Now the emperor has issued an order. I am already the Princess of Anguo. Soon I will represent our dynasty to go to Fanjiang to marry."
"Forget it. Even a loser like you who only wants to climb up the social ladder by relying on women wouldn't understand such glory."
As she spoke, Jiang Linglong rolled her eyes at Yuan Shaojun.
The disdain in his eyes couldn't be more obvious.
"It seems that the princess has made up her mind." Wang Youquan's smile grew even wider, and he directly took out the imperial edict that conferred the title of princess upon him. "Then please accept the edict, princess."
After receiving the imperial decree, she will be a princess!
Even if she goes to Fanjiang, she has the entire Ming Dynasty backing her up!
If Prince Fanjiang inherits the old Chanyu's position in the future, she can still be the queen!
With such a future, even if she can't compare to Lin Chunhuan's, she won't lose out at all!
In just a short moment, all that flashed through Jiang Linglong's mind was the beautiful life in the future. However, before her hand touched the imperial edict, Yuan Shaojun rushed out, snatched the edict away, his eyes red.
"What a shit princess!"
Yuan Shaojun panted heavily, making a wheezing sound. "Jiang Linglong is my wife, sworn in by heaven and earth. Will she marry you just because you ask her to? Even if you are the emperor, what right do you have to seize someone else's wife?"
Before he could finish his words, Yuan Shaojun stepped forward and grabbed Wang Youquan by the collar, "You damn eunuch, go back and tell that tyrant emperor that he likes my wife, Yuan Shaojun, right? I won't let him have his wish!"
"Crazy, crazy, crazy!" Jiang Linglong took two steps back.
She had just had a miscarriage and was very weak. Furthermore, she hadn't been in good health to begin with. She was frightened by Yuan Shaojun and almost collapsed to the ground. It took her a long time to steady herself. "Yuan Shaojun, are you crazy?! That's an imperial decree! How dare you disobey it!"
"Why the hell am I afraid?"
"My father helped him build the Ming Empire. Now that my father is gone, he dares to insult me like this. I will fight him to the death!"
Compared to Jiang Linglong's fear and Yuan Shaojun's excitement, Wang Youquan seemed much calmer. He waited until Yuan Shaojun finished speaking before he smiled and said, "General Yuan, don't get excited."
"This old servant advises you to think clearly before you speak."
As he spoke, a long sword was placed on Yuan Shaojun's neck. The leader of the secret guards sighed, "Young General Yuan, why don't you learn your lesson?"
“You, you…”
Although he said he was willing to fight to the death, when his life was really threatened, Yuan Shaojun couldn't even utter a complete sentence. He just let go of Wang Youquan's collar with trembling hands.
"Our emperor is certainly not one to force or rob others. Before the princess marries, he must respect your opinion. Princess Anguo, are you the one who wants to divorce General Yuan?"
Jiang Linglong came back to her senses.
Just now she thought that Yuan Shaojun was not completely useless, at least he inherited some of his father's bloodiness. Now it seems that she was just overthinking.
A coward is a coward!
Even if you urinate on his head, it won't arouse his courage!
