[When did he die? The Third Prince was only ten years old when he ascended the throne. He was born to Concubine Chen. This means the old emperor only had less than ten years left to live!]
Jiang Ying knelt there, feeling extremely frightened.
Fortunately, she was the only one who could hear her monkey son’s rebellious words!
Otherwise, the whole family would not know how they died.
However, after hearing this revelation, her resentment towards the emperor who was destined to have a short life was much less. She even couldn't help but look up slightly and take a few peeks. She felt that the emperor was dignified and noble, and didn't look like someone who would have a short life, right?
[Alas, not only did he die young, he also had few children. Concubine Chen's twins, a boy and a girl, are his last children!]
Before Jiang Ying could continue to marvel, Jiang Yilin, kneeling beside her, said coquettishly with charming eyes, "Your Majesty, your humble servant Jiang Yilin has been raised by the Jiang family since childhood. My father said that he would adopt me as his adopted daughter from now on. Like my sister, I am also a child of the Jiang family.
"I once went to the palace with my mother to attend the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet. I met the Emperor from afar. He is an extraordinary hero, diligent and hardworking. He is praised as a wise ruler by all the people of Nanzhao."
Compared with Jiang Yilin's eloquent words, Jiang Ying's dry "Your Majesty, your humble servant greets you" seemed very honest!
As expected, who doesn't like to hear nice words? Jiang Yilin's voice was like an oriole, sweet and melodious. The emperor couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and praised, "Mr. Jiang, I think this adopted daughter is really well raised. This is what I had in mind when I arranged a marriage for my brother Yan Zhuo before, but..."
"Your Majesty, I have something to say." Yan Zhuo suddenly spoke, interrupting the emperor.
The latter was not angry at all, and said with a smile, "Oh? What do you want to say, brother Jun?"
"Your Highness..." Yan Zhuo glanced at Jiang Ying calmly, his face expressionless, "Your Highness is not feeling well and doesn't like having too many people in the house, so just one hostess is enough."
The refusal was clearly implied in these words.
After all, Nan Zhao Guofeng is like this. If a woman gives birth to a child for a man, no matter whether he is good or bad, she will be given the position of a concubine.
Killing the son and keeping the mother is something that only despicable people who are not worthy of being seen in public would do. Normal people would never advocate for it.
So, when Yan Zhuo said he only wanted one, it was more likely that he wanted the one who had given birth to a child?
Everyone looked at Jiang Yilin and then at Jiang Ying. Some agreed, while others expressed regret.
Jiang Yilin was stimulated by Yan Zhuo's words, and her fingers pinched into her palms without realizing it.
After a moment, he adjusted his mood and raised his head to say something, but Concubine Chen interrupted him with a sweet laugh, "Your Majesty, isn't it too early for you to make a conclusion so quickly?
"In my humble opinion, there are already many beautiful and intelligent ladies in the capital who are as eloquent as Jiang Yi Nu. Miss Ying is not as peaceful and elegant, and has a calm and far-sighted mind.
"And I heard that she is good at medicine. Your Highness is not feeling well. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to have someone like her who understands your feelings by your side?"
Concubine Chen has gorgeous facial features and is one of those beauties with a strong sense of beauty. She speaks without choking, but has a charming and delicate air about her. She is completely different from Jiang Yilin's affectation.
So Jiang Ying also admired her very much, as she was so brave as to play tricks in front of Concubine Chen.
No, it’s been discovered, right?
Concubine Chen was pregnant, and the emperor doted on her. She immediately put aside her slight affection for Jiang Yilin and turned to ask Jiang Ying, "Jiang, do you really know medicine?"
Jiang Ying said calmly, "Yes."
"Oh? I see you don't talk much. With this kind of personality, you're either introverted and timid, or you're extremely confident in yourself. Which one are you?"
"Of course she belongs to the latter." Yan Zhuo said.
Jiang Ying immediately had the urge to kill him with her eyes. What a bastard, he was causing trouble for her again!
As expected, the emperor immediately put on a half-smile of interest, "Okay, although we have female officials in Nan Zhao, most of them are in charge of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and there are very few female doctors.
"But there are occasions when we need a female doctor. For example, if one of my concubines has a headache or a fever and feels unwell, a female doctor will naturally be more appropriate to treat them."
Jiang Ying had no choice but to agree, "Your Majesty is right."
The emperor suddenly changed the subject and called out to Huang Mingquan, "I remember you had some problems with your legs and feet recently, and you just finished taking the medicine. Why don't you go forward and let Jiang feel your pulse to see if she can really diagnose what's wrong with you? Then tell me what the medicine you're taking is and whether it's the right medicine for you."
Huang Mingquan was holding a whisk in his hand, and it was not difficult to guess his identity - Eunuch Huang, the chief eunuch of the emperor.
Eunuch Huang bowed and flicked his whisk, "As you command."
As he spoke, he slowly walked to Jiang Ying's side and extended his hand to her, "Miss Jiang, please."
Jiang Ying looked at everyone's expressions and thought, wow, this is a test for her!
The key point is that the trouble-making dog prince didn't speak for her at all, and looked calm and confident.
Is he crazy?
Yan Zhuo did this on purpose. If he didn't let Jiang Ying show any of her outstanding qualities, how could the emperor agree to make her his principal wife?
Not only did he want to get rid of Jiang Yilin, he also wanted her to be his legal wife, which was what he had promised before.
As for whether she is willing to marry, that is another matter.
"Eunuch Huang, wait a moment." Jiang Ying was in a dilemma and had no choice but to do as he was told. Before taking the child's pulse, he handed the child to the maid.
"Come on, girl." Siyu cheered her up nervously.
[Mother is so powerful, mother can definitely do it!] The monkey son clenched his little hands into fists in excitement.
Jiang Ying smiled, walked back to Eunuch Huang, said three words "Sorry for the offense", and began to take his pulse.
