Ever since he sat down at the table, Yan Zhuo's eyes drifted uncontrollably towards the table of Jiang Ying and the child, intentionally or unintentionally.
Like being possessed.
The scene of Jiang Ying punishing Meng Niaoniao kept replaying in my mind like a frozen frame.
How could she be so capable? Yan Zhuo had the illusion that he had truly gotten to know Jiang Ying on the first day!
Hearing this, he was unusually slow to react for a moment, "What about Mingzhu? What about Yumu? Her last name is not important. What matters is that she is my son's biological mother."
Maybe he really wanted to marry her for just this one reason before, but now, there is undoubtedly another one.
He wanted to see what kind of woman was underneath her ever-changing appearance!
At present, she has magically gathered cunning, gentleness, decisiveness and casualness. How many surprises does she have that he doesn't know about?
When Prince Qin heard this, his expression froze and he stared at his son without blinking.
Something happened! The old iron tree seems to be blooming!
But this is a little different from what was expected. Both daughters of the Jiang family want to marry his son, and neither of them is willing to be a concubine. What should he do? Should he make her his equal wife?
Prince Qin stroked his chin and couldn't help but ask tentatively, "Zhuo'er, look at what this has caused. Although Zhi'er's mother is indeed the blood of the Jiang family, Jiang Yilin is also a rare and good girl. When your royal brother issued the imperial decree before, the matter of the real and fake legitimate daughters was not exposed. Now that it's like this, why don't you follow the example of Ehuang and Nvying and marry them both? It's fine if my son doesn't get married, but if I marry two, and make them equal wives, it will also be a good story!"
However, the more Qin Wang spoke, the colder the air around him felt.
Everyone at the table was a bunch of old foxes, pretending to clink glasses and not get involved in the conversation between the father and son. Only Jiang Shang was also involved in the game, so the group of people drank while lowering their heads and gloating.
Yan Zhuo raised his eyebrows slightly, his tone calm but cold, "Does father-in-law think the same?"
A concubine? The one he wants to marry doesn't want to marry him, and the one he doesn't want to marry is always there for him.
Yan Zhuo couldn't help but have a worse impression of Jiang Yilin.
Jiang Shang was also thinking about this question, his face a little gloomy, "I..."
But just as he said a word, a shrill voice announced, "The Emperor has arrived—The Imperial Concubine has arrived—"
The Emperor is here? And the Imperial Concubine?
Everyone was shocked and quickly stood up, bowed to greet him, and dropped the topic.
Everyone was wondering why the emperor suddenly came to Prince Qin's residence without saying a word. Could it be that he also came to congratulate Prince Qin?
Four people walked slowly towards them from a distance. Leading them was the handsome emperor and Concubine Chen, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a slightly bulging belly.
Inside the flower hall, people were seated on both sides, shouting, "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor, and a thousand years of live the imperial concubine."
Jiang Ying followed the crowd and knelt down to pay his respects, but it looked a little strange with the child in his arms.
Fortunately, the emperor didn't pay attention to her and only looked at Jiang Shang and other loyal ministers in front of him.
The emperor was in his thirties, looking young and gentle. "Jiang Qing has been guarding the border for us, Nanzhao, and terrifying the enemy. It's not easy for him to return to the capital. Thank you for your hard work."
【It’s not hard work, but a hard life. 】
But before Jiang Shang could answer, little Yan Zhi imitated Jiang Ying's tone and complained.
Jiang Ying couldn't help wanting to laugh, and secretly pinched the child's thigh: Son, please be quiet.
Here, the tall and majestic Jiang Shang nodded slightly. "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? I am a military officer. I eat your salary and bear your worries. Naturally, I am willing to devote myself to our country until my death. This time, it is really because of a family incident, so I have to ask Your Majesty's permission to return to the capital for a few days."
As they were talking, the seats of honor in the flower hall had already been given to the emperor and Concubine Chen.
The emperor held Concubine Chen's hand all the way, like a loving couple.
But everyone understood that the emperor valued Concubine Chen's fetus. After all, many men in their thirties were almost grandfathers, and the emperor had only two princes and one princess.
The eldest prince is five years old, the second prince is three years old, and the little princess was born at the end of last year.
Only when the royal family has many descendants can the dynasty prosper. And it is because the princes are not yet useful that the emperor has no choice but to use his cousins.
As for my brothers, well, I can’t trust them.
"Is it about the true and false legitimate daughter?" The emperor's eyes showed a hint of interest. "Jiang Qing's matter is quite strange. It's only natural for him to come back and take a look.
"Besides, Jiang Qing's eldest son saved my life, and his second son saved my second prince's life. Morally and logically, I have no reason to deny Jiang Qing leave."
Although the young emperor said it casually, Jiang Shang knelt on one knee without thinking too much, "Your Majesty is the king, and we are the ministers. It is an honor for a minister to die for the king!"
"Your humble servant and I, your sons, dare not take credit for anything. Your Majesty, please do not say such things again. I am ashamed!"
This attitude is just the right amount of humble, making the old foxes around him feel ashamed.
I thought to myself, no wonder the Jiang family is so favored. With such intelligence, it would be no problem for them to maintain their current prominence for a hundred years.
For a while, his eyes frequently fell on the three sons of the Jiang family and Jiang Ying who had just been recognized.
This girl is already Prince Yan's wife, so I don't think too much about it, but those three sons... Oh, with a long sigh, it would be great if Jiang Yuanyi and Jiang Yuanchen were not sick...
What they don’t know is that Jiang Yuanyi is pretending to be blind and is not really blind.
Jiang Yuanlang is just pretending to be stupid, he is not really stupid.
Faced with these obscure and complicated gazes, the two brothers couldn't help but roll their eyes.
Soon, he discovered that, apart from the majority of people looking at Jiang Ying, a small number of them began to secretly pay attention to Jiang Yilin...
The emperor was obviously the same, "I was also very curious after hearing about the true and false legitimate daughter of Jiang Qing's family.
"Since you're here, Jiang Qing, how about calling your two daughters out to meet me?
"I would like to see whether it is better to have a girl who is related to Jiang Qing by blood, or to have been raised in the Jiang family since childhood."
Jiang Shang was also speechless at the emperor's bad taste, but he couldn't refuse, so he couldn't help but give the old lady a wink.
Lian stepped forward at the right moment and said, "I wish to greet the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine. Both maids have indeed come with us today. Sister Lin, Sister Ying, the Emperor has summoned you, why don't you come forward quickly?"
What are you seeing?! They only have two eyes, a nose, and a mouth. How can they have three heads and six arms?
Jiang Ying lowered her head and walked out with her child in her arms, but this did not stop her from complaining in her heart.
Little Yanzhi blinked his big eyes, and tried to look towards the emperor from Jiang Ying's arms. He pouted and thought to himself, "Oh, this is the emperor who died young due to his bad luck. He's so handsome!"
