That night, Kyoto was calm and peaceful, and the events of the Duke of Ying's mansion did not spread. Except for a few political enemies who were secretly keeping an eye on the Duke of Ying, no one knew what had happened.
However, after the court session the next day, an imperial edict was delivered to the Duke of Ying's Mansion.
His Majesty personally arranged a marriage between the second son of the Duke of Yingguo and Prince Rong.
The Duke of Yingguo and his family arrived at the door and set up an incense table to welcome them. Cui Jing, who was beside the empress, personally read the imperial decree. After reading it, he helped the Duke of Yingguo up and said with a smile, "The Duke of Yingguo has raised a good son. Good days are yet to come."
The Duke of England smiled politely and chatted with her for a few words. Lord Sun looked at Jiang Lusheng who slowly stood up, and he became more and more satisfied.
Prince Rong is your Majesty's biological sister and is quite favored by your Majesty. If she marries him and becomes the legitimate ruler, she will be a member of the royal family in the future. Regardless of whether she can give birth or not, at least her status and position will be very different, and the benefits she brings to the family will be far more than what is seen on the surface.
In the future, when their children get married, their value will increase accordingly.
"Lusheng, it seems that the princess has spoken for you in front of His Majesty. She truly values you. Men in our Kun Kingdom are helpless and have no choice when it comes to marriage. It is even more difficult to meet a wife who loves him. I don't know what you think of the princess, but while she likes you, you should capture her heart."
Lord Sun held Jiang Lusheng's hand and spoke earnestly.
Jiang Lusheng "..."
He also felt a little indigestion about this world.
Although he knew that he had good intentions, looking at Lord Sun's kind face, Jiang Lusheng seemed to see the ancient nanny in a trance.
Especially the hand that was being held felt extremely uncomfortable. He pulled his hand out without leaving a trace and met Cui Jing's meaningful gaze.
"Your Highness has made a lot of efforts to make this marriage possible. The Second Young Master must serve His Highness well after he gets married." Cui Jing said, then bowed and said, "I will return to report to His Majesty. Farewell."
"I'll see Lord Cui off—" said the Duke of England.
Cui Jing waved his hand, "Please stay, sir."
Watching the group go away, Jiang Lusheng glanced at the imperial edict and the corners of his mouth curled up almost imperceptibly.
He turned around, and his older brother, who rarely showed up, nodded coldly at him and said, "Congratulations."
Jiang Lusheng smiled and said, "Thank you."
Jiang Luqing's expression was a little subtle. He stood next to his father, not knowing what he was thinking. When Jiang Lusheng looked over, he even dodged his gaze.
Jiang Lusheng raised his eyebrows and said nothing, but kept his little abnormality in mind.
After receiving the imperial edict, Lan Shuang finally felt relieved. This matter was a done deal. She was happy and immediately rewarded everyone in the mansion with one month's salary.
Meng Yu smiled broadly, "Does the prince like the second young master so much?"
"Nonsense, don't you like me marrying him as a decoration? Go, go, go to the Duke of Ying's mansion and deliver a message saying that I'm inviting the Second Young Master to go boating."
"Okay, I'll go right away!"
Meng Yu turned to leave, but Lan Shuang suddenly changed her mind and called out to her, "Wait—"
"Your Highness, do you have any other instructions?" Meng Yu looked at her puzzled.
Lan Shuang turned and went into the study, picked up a pen and wrote an invitation. The handwriting on it was not dry yet, so she blew on it and said, "This is more formal. Go ahead."
Meng Yu: "..."
She looked at Lan Shuang with a complicated expression. How much he liked her? He wrote the invitation so carefully. The prince was really a playboy... No, the playboy had turned over a new leaf?
While complaining in her heart, she went to the Duke of England's mansion in person. When she left, she felt as if someone was looking at her. She frowned and when she walked to a stall, she glanced back with the corner of her eye while looking at something.
In the end, there was nothing. Meng Yu suspected that he might have overthought, so he felt relieved and continued to move forward.
After she walked away, Yun Xing at the corner stuck his head out to take a look, then pressed his chest guiltily.
“That was a close call…”
He breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the direction Meng Yu left, and murmured, "Is this direction to the Duke of Ying's Mansion?"
He remembered the news he had heard before, his eyes flashed, and after hesitating for a moment, he followed.
…
Meng Yu personally handed the invitation to Jiang Lusheng. Jiang Lusheng was in a good mood and rewarded him with a few pieces of silver. Meng Yu was immediately bribed by him. "Second Young Master is so generous and kind. The prince is so lucky to marry you."
Jiang Lusheng laughed, what kind of fence-sitter is this guard?
He didn't take the flattery seriously and asked Huaixiu to send the person out. He opened the invitation and took a look at it. He couldn't help laughing when he saw the first sentence.
"Dear Jiang Jiang, cross it out. It's so corny. Honey, now that spring is turning into summer, the night scenery is just perfect, and the breeze is gentle. Let's go boating on the lake together to enjoy the night view. It must be a special experience. Come on, come on, give me a heart."
A small black heart was drawn behind the words "比心".
Jiang Lusheng laughed, "Childish."
However, although he said this, he read the invitation several times and repeatedly touched the little heart on the back. After thinking for a moment, he went into the study, picked up a pen and added another little heart on the back. Only then did he put the invitation away with satisfaction.
Jiang Lusheng thought for a moment and took Huaixiu out early.
Kyoto is so big, he hasn't had a good look around yet, and he hasn't bought some small gifts for Lan Shuang by the way.
However, as soon as he walked out of the door and reached a secluded place, he was stopped by someone.
Huai Xiu nervously stood in front of him, trying to appear calm, but his mouth trembled as he opened it. "You, you, you—who are you? What are you doing blocking the road? Are you trying to rob me?"
Yun Xing's gaze passed over him and looked at Jiang Lusheng behind him. Even though he tried his best to hide it, Jiang Lusheng still saw the jealousy and unwillingness in his eyes.
Quite interesting.
Jiang Lusheng pushed Huaixiu's hand away and took a step forward to face Yunxing.
"What is it?"
Yun Xing looked at his indifferent appearance, and memories of his past life kept coming back to him.
In his previous life, he was just a concubine. Because the prince liked him, he knelt down and begged in front of His Majesty, and finally got him the position of the main king.
But in this life, Jiang Lusheng actually became the legitimate ruler, and that was his position!
Yun Xing pursed his lips and clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves. "I have a few words to say to you about Prince Rong. Would you be willing to come with me?"
"Sir, don't go. This man has an unknown origin and is always talking nonsense. He is definitely not a good person!" Huaixiu said worriedly.
Jiang Lusheng didn't care. "No problem. Since it's related to the prince, I'm all ears. But this is not the place to talk. Let's go."
"Young Master!" Huaixiu stomped his feet. Jiang Lusheng glanced at him lightly, and Huaixiu immediately shut up.
Forget it, the young master is a man of his own ideas, so he should stop worrying about it.
Yun Xing glanced at the two of them with a cold expression.
If the Xu family had not gotten into trouble and he had been implicated, he would now be a nobleman with followers wherever he went, instead of being homeless and controlled by others like he is now.
