After Duke Jiang returned to the Duke Jiang Mansion, he found Jiang Taohua and told her that Emperor Mingqing had asked her to enter the palace.
"Taohua, don't be afraid. Dad will accompany you into the palace." Duke Jiang looked at Jiang Taohua with a loving face and spoke in a very gentle voice.
Jiang Taohua looked at him and said, "Dad, you don't have to accompany me to the palace. The emperor asked you to call me to the palace. I guess he only wants to see me."
The emperor really only wanted to see his daughter. Before letting him leave, he specifically instructed him to let his daughter enter the palace alone and that he didn't need to follow her.
But he was really worried about his daughter going into the palace alone, as she had never been to the palace before.
Now that the emperor asked her to go to the palace alone, she must be very scared.
"Taohua, if you are afraid of entering the palace alone, dad can accompany you." Duke Jiang looked at her with love.
If his daughter was afraid to enter the palace alone, he was prepared to disobey Emperor Mingqing and accompany his daughter into the palace.
Jiang Taohua said, "Dad, I'm not afraid. You don't have to accompany me to the palace."
"All right."
When Duke Jiang saw that his daughter refused to let him accompany her into the palace, he finally compromised.
Finally, Jiang Taohua went to the palace alone in the carriage prepared by Duke Jiang.
The carriage stopped at the palace gate. Jiang Taohua got off the carriage and walked to the outside of the imperial study under the guidance of a palace servant.
Eunuch Yuan, who served the emperor, went in to report.
"Your Majesty, Miss Jiang is here."
Emperor Mingqing, who was reviewing memorials, put down his red brush and said, "Announce it."
Eunuch Yuan went out to invite Jiang Taohua in.
Jiang Taohua walked into the imperial study, came before Emperor Mingqing and bowed respectfully to him, "Commoner Jiang Taohua pays homage to His Majesty."
"Stand up and raise your head."
Jiang Taohua stood up and raised her head, and saw a man in his sixties wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, with a rosy complexion and vigorous spirit.
Although his face has shown signs of aging, he still looks like a handsome young man.
While she was looking at Emperor Ming Qing, Emperor Ming Qing was also looking at her. The little girl in front of him was wearing a green gauze dress.
This face looks extremely beautiful, her figure is graceful, and she exudes charm all over her body. This girl is stunningly beautiful.
Emperor Ming Qing looked at Jiang Taohua and thought, this little girl is so beautiful, no wonder she has bewitched that brat of his.
After looking at Jiang Taohua, Emperor Mingqing couldn't help but praise her and said, "You are born with a good appearance."
Jiang Taohua didn't respond.
Emperor Mingqing continued, "I have something to ask you."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
Emperor Mingqing coughed lightly and asked in a tactful tone, "How far have you and Jingyan progressed?"
He really wanted to ask her if she had had sex with his son.
"I did everything I shouldn't have done." Jiang Taohua replied.
The gossip in Emperor Mingqing's eyes became even stronger. He wanted to ask her if there was anything wrong with his son, but he felt that asking such a question would damage his image as an emperor, so he gave up the idea.
"Since you and Jingyan are already husband and wife, I will grant you a marriage."
Jiang Taohua said calmly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Seeing that she remained calm and was not happy about his promise to arrange a marriage between her and his son, Emperor Mingqing felt a little unhappy.
He thought to himself, all the noble ladies from the aristocratic families in the capital were looking forward to marrying his son, and such a great blessing as marrying his son fell on her, so why wasn't she excited at all?
While he was pondering, Eunuch Yuan's voice rang out from outside the palace, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin requests an audience."
Emperor Mingqing frowned slightly. He had just called Jiang Taohua into the palace when this brat came to ask for a meeting. He was really afraid that Jiang Taohua would be bullied by this brat.
Emperor Ming Qing sighed in his heart. This brat has a beloved woman now and he no longer has him, his old father, in his heart.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin requests an audience." Eunuch Yuan, who reported outside the door, did not hear Emperor Mingqing's reply, so he spoke again.
"Let him in."
Long Jingyan entered the imperial study and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Jiang Taohua was unharmed. He then walked up to Emperor Mingqing and bowed respectfully, "Your Highness, I am here to see you."
"What do you want from me?" Emperor Mingqing glanced at him and said unhappily.
Just now he saw his son coming in with a frown on his face. When he saw Jiang Taohua, his frown suddenly relaxed. He knew without thinking why his son came to see him.
Long Jingyan looked at Emperor Mingqing seriously and said, "Father, Taohua and I are already married. She may even be pregnant with our son. Please grant us our marriage today."
"Why are you so anxious? I won't grant you a marriage today. I will grant you a marriage on my birthday." Emperor Mingqing said unhappily.
He was worried because his son didn't get married, and now he is worried because his son is anxious for him to get married.
This son is protecting Jiang Taohua so much now. If he marries Jiang Taohua in the future, he will definitely have no place for his old father in his heart.
Knowing that his father was going to arrange a marriage between him and Jiang Taohua on his birthday, Long Jingyan said nothing more.
There are only three days left until his father's birthday, and he has been waiting for three days.
Emperor Mingqing wanted to talk to Long Jingyan alone, so he asked Eunuch Yuan to take Jiang Taohua for a stroll in the Imperial Garden.
After Jiang Taohua left, only Emperor Mingqing and Long Jingyan were left in the imperial study.
Emperor Mingqing glanced at his son and said, "You've really grown up. You've even managed to sneak into a woman's bedroom."
"Without Taohua by my side, I cannot sleep peacefully." Long Jingyan said seriously.
Emperor Mingqing said angrily, "When you were alone, weren't you sleeping well?"
This son used to be pure and had no interest in women, but now that he is with Jiang Taohua, he has become immoral.
But to be honest, the ginger peach blossoms are indeed very beautiful.
She is so beautiful and charming at such a young age, no wonder she can win over his icy son.
Long Jingyan didn't respond.
