Their father was a brave and skilled warrior who died on the battlefield while assisting the late emperor in unifying the country, leaving behind two beautiful sisters.
The late emperor, grateful for the memory of Jiang Tian and Jiang Yu's father, posthumously granted him the title of Duke Zhongwu and also bestowed special honors upon Jiang Tian and Jiang Yu, indicating that their marriage was to be decided by themselves.
Although Jiang Tian and Jiang Yu did not obtain the titles of princess or county princess, it was their father who took the initiative to propose it.
Their father was a loyal minister, and one who did not like to cause trouble for the late emperor.
Because nothing was mentioned, the late emperor naturally cherished the two sisters very much.
Although the sisters did not have official titles, they enjoyed the same treatment as noble ladies, and the palace would occasionally bestow gifts upon them.
If it weren't for the late emperor's most hated son launching a palace coup, leaving no one to care about the two sisters, Jiang Yu might not have died. After all, with the late emperor around, Wei Wenxuan wouldn't have dared to favor his concubine over his wife.
Jiang Yu married the civil official Wei Wenxuan based on her own feelings.
Jiang Tian then married a military general.
Their father was in the right place and received great honors after his death.
Jiang Tian's husband once again chose the right side; he followed the emperor.
After helping the emperor ascend the throne, he was appointed as a second-rank general and stationed in the northwest.
Unfortunately, when the emperor personally led a campaign against the barbarians, her husband protected the emperor and was shot through the heart by an arrow from one of the barbarians.
So, ten years after marrying that general, Jiang Tian became a widow.
Her husband treated her quite well. Before he died, he asked the emperor for decency, begging him to protect his wife, and publicly announced that Jiang Tian could remarry and did not need to stay with him.
Jiang Tian and her husband had no children. Her husband came from humble origins, and his clansmen were not doing well. All the property they left behind was inherited by her.
The emperor was grateful to her husband and bestowed upon her the title of Lady Jinrong, along with land, houses, and countless gold and silver treasures. He also arranged for her to be guarded by hundreds of people.
If she wants to remarry, she can simply ask the emperor for an imperial edict.
As a result, Jiang Tian's status was extremely high.
However, Jiang Tian was grateful for her husband's true love and stayed to wait for him for the rest of her life.
Wei Jinxiu troubled her several times, and she secretly helped her, doing a lot of things for her.
……………………
When Jiang Tian opened her eyes, she realized she had been a widow for five years.
Five years after her husband's death, Jiang Tian stubbornly remained in the Northwest. Time flew by, and the generals guarding the Northwest changed several times, but everyone knew that the lady living in the city was not to be trifled with.
In fact, the emperor had bestowed upon her a house and estate in the capital, but she refused to live there.
Many people admire her.
The boundaries of marriage between men and women in this dynasty were not very strict, and it was not uncommon for women to remarry immediately after their husbands died.
She had been married for five years and widowed for five years. She was already thirty years old. Many people had advised her to remarry, but she refused.
Then one day, Jiang Tian suddenly summoned all her confidants, took a sip of tea, and told them, "The general appeared to me in a dream, telling me not to stay in this bitter, cold place any longer. I plan to go to the capital."

………………
A month later, dozens of carriages stopped at the city gate and entered the grand mansion bestowed by the emperor.
It was already evening when they arrived in the capital. Jiang Tian didn't even have a sip of water before ordering someone to prepare a carriage.
"I haven't seen my sister for many years, I want to go see her."
Jiang Tian was skilled at managing her subordinates, and with the emperor's backing, no one dared to disobey her orders.
