Chapter 14: The General's Pet (14)



The sound, like the breeze blowing, seemed to carry some kind of magic, directly penetrating Jiang Jingran's heart.

Jiang Jingran suppressed the emotions in his eyes and looked up at the person who came.

"I, I really didn't mean to do that. I just tripped over the Cuju and grabbed my sister's foot in a hurry. I, I, it's all my fault. It's all my fault that my sister almost fell and put her in danger!"

Jiang Jingran's eyes were red and she was crying like a pear blossom in the rain. Her face was full of self-blame and she kept repeating this sentence.

"I believe you didn't do it on purpose. This was just an accident. Don't blame yourself too much."

Jiang Jingran looked at the Third Prince pitifully: "Your Highness, are you really willing to believe me?"

The Third Prince looked at her tenderly: "Of course, get up first."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand in front of Jiang Jingran. Jiang Jingran was flattered and his hands that were supporting him on the ground tightened slightly.

"I, I can get up by myself, don't sully His Highness's hands."

"No problem."

The Third Prince still did not withdraw his hand after hearing this. He leaned over slightly, shortened the distance between him and Jiang Jingran, and stretched out his hand in front of her.

"You sprained your ankle, be careful."

Jiang Jingran's eyes flickered slightly. She bit her lower lip, hesitated for a while, and then raised her hand and placed it in the palm of the Third Prince's hand.

The third prince exerted a little force and pulled Jiang Jingran up without hesitation.

Jiang Jingran, relying on the Third Prince's help, ignored the shock on everyone's faces and limped towards his seat.

When the two passed in front of the Fifth Prince, the latter narrowed his eyes and looked at the Third Prince with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes.

Haha, this clearly shows that he is trying to support the Prime Minister's daughter.

His third brother was still a little impatient...

Jiang Jingran was supported by the Third Prince and came to the seat. She brushed away the Third Prince's hand and knelt down.

"Just now, I tripped over a Cuju ball and nearly caused a disturbance in my haste. Your Majesty, please punish me!"

The emperor glanced at Jiang Jingran calmly and said in a deep voice, "Since it was an accident, please return to your seat. I don't want this to ruin my mood."

Upon hearing that His Majesty would no longer pursue the matter, the Prime Minister, who had originally wanted to stand up and plead, felt his butt slump and sat back down.

I breathed a sigh of relief!

It is no secret in the court that His Majesty favors Fu Yanci. Fortunately, today is the Cuju Banquet and His Majesty is very pleased. If it were any other time, Ran'er would have been punished!

"Your Majesty, I thank you!"

Jiang Jingran supported himself on the ground with his hands, put his head on the back of his hands and saluted politely.

She was about to stand up when the Third Prince, who was standing beside her, suddenly knelt down beside her.

"Father, there is something that has been weighing on my mind for a long time. Today, I would like to ask for an imperial decree from you."

"Oh? What imperial edict?"

The emperor's tone was neither salty nor bland, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

The Third Prince glanced at Jiang Jingran and said seriously, "This son has long admired Miss Jiang Jingran from the Prime Minister's Mansion. Please, Father, grant this son a marriage and marry this young lady to me!"

hiss--

Everyone widened their eyes in disbelief. Even Jiang Jingran, the person involved, was stunned. He looked at the Third Prince beside him in shock.

3. The Third Prince admires me?

After noticing her gaze, the Third Prince looked at her gently, then turned his head to look at the emperor in the high seat, waiting for his response.

The emperor said nothing, his eyes were so deep that it was hard to tell what he was thinking.

The huge Cuju field was completely silent, so quiet that one could only hear his own breathing.

After a long time, the emperor spoke.

But he didn't look at the third prince, instead he turned his head to look at the queen beside him.

"Queen, what do you think about this?"

The Queen tightened her hands beneath her sleeves, but her face remained soft. She smiled and said, "Yuan Zhen has found someone he admires, and as his mother, I am naturally delighted from the bottom of my heart."

The emperor pursed his lips and returned his gaze to the two people kneeling on the ground.

"Since that is the case, I hereby decree that the Third Prince is now of marriageable age. The Prime Minister's daughter, Jiang Jingran, is still unmarried and is a perfect match for the Third Prince. To take advantage of her beauty, I hereby betroth her to him as his consort. All ceremonies will be jointly handled by the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Observatory, and the wedding will take place on an auspicious day."

The fifth prince frowned and was about to speak when the crown prince beside him calmly grabbed his wrist.

The fifth prince pursed his lips and swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

"Thank you, Father!"

"Your Majesty, I thank you!"

Jiang Jingran knelt down in a daze to thank him, until someone pulled her arm up and helped her sit down at a seat, and then she came to her senses belatedly.

She was previously overshadowed by Jiang Jingyu's status, but now she has become the Third Imperial Consort personally appointed by His Majesty?!

She had only met the Third Prince three times. When did he fall in love with her?

Jiang Jingran's expression changed from shock to confusion, and then from confusion to excitement.

Afraid of being noticed by others, she quickly lowered her head to hide the excitement in her eyes.

Everyone sat back in their seats at this point, unable to recover for a long time.

First, the General Zhengbei's bride was nearly disfigured, and then the Third Prince publicly requested an imperial decree for a marriage? ?

Fu Yanci and Jiang Jingyu, who left first, were destined not to be able to watch the show from the front line.

The two of them had already left the imperial palace and were heading towards the general's residence.

The two people riding on the same horse were very close to each other, and Jiang Jingyu could even feel the breathing coming from the side of his ear.

The warm breath sprayed on her ears, making her feel itchy, and her whole mind was focused on the man behind her.

Fu Yanci behind him was also unable to concentrate at this time.

Jiang Jingyu's hair fluttering in the wind fell on his face, and the woman's faint fragrance also drifted into his nose with the wind.
