Shen Tingsi seemed to have sensed Jiang's mother's concerns, and he dispelled them before she could speak.
After hearing this, Jiang's mother swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. After hearing what Shen Tingsi said, she was horrified and couldn't calm down for a long time.
Father Jiang also clenched his fists. Although he was a little slow in emotions, he finally realized Shen Tingsi's feelings for Jiang Li. What he never expected was that His Majesty would go to such lengths for his daughter!
Jiang's father and mother knew that the king was a man of few words. Since His Majesty had already said that he would only marry Li'er in this life and would not take anyone else into the harem, these words were definitely not sweet words to deceive them and gain their consent!
Father and Mother Jiang stood there in a daze with different thoughts in their minds, and they couldn't recover from Shen Tingsi's words for a long time.
Hearing these words again, Jiang Li turned her head to look at Shen Tingsi who was sitting in the main seat. As soon as she looked over, her eyes met Shen Tingsi's deep eyes and the undisguised emotions in his eyes.
When Jiang Li looked at Shen Tingsi, the corners of her mouth curved.
What more could a husband ask for after choosing such a good man? Shen Tingsi did not urge the stunned Jiang's father and mother, giving them enough time to accept his identity.
Jiang's father and mother believed in their own judgment. Although they had only been in contact with Shen Tingsi for a short time, the couple had been working in the business world for more than 20 years and had a very sharp eye, otherwise they would not have strongly opposed Jiang Li's marriage into the general's mansion.
But once you enter the palace, it's like entering a deep sea, and it's a lifelong commitment. Although marriages have always been decided by parents and matchmakers since ancient times, Jiang's father and mother do not want to make any decisions for Jiang Li on their own.
They were thinking of asking His Majesty to give them some time to put the matter aside, and then ask Jiang Li for her opinion in person after His Majesty left. However, as a daughter, Jiang Li could see what Jiang's father and mother were thinking at a glance.
"Mom and Dad, I was worried about you because of my daughter's willfulness and ignorance. After going through all the things that happened before, my daughter has grown up and knows what she wants."
"Your Majesty came here today only after obtaining my daughter's consent last night. I came to my parents' house to talk about this matter. Your Majesty and I are of the same mind, and I am willing to go to the Imperial City with him. I hope to get your consent and blessing."
Jiang Li looked at Jiang's father and Jiang's mother seriously and told them her true thoughts.
"Pear..."
Father and Mother Jiang looked at Jiang Li, their eyes unconsciously reddened.
"Mom, don't cry."
Jiang Li took out a handkerchief to wipe Jiang Mu's tears and held her hand tightly.
It is said that men do not shed tears easily. When Mr. Jiang thought about his daughter going to the imperial city and leaving them, his eyes turned red, his shoulders trembled and he was unable to speak.
With the comfort of Jiang Li and Shen Tingsi, it took Jiang's father and mother a long time to calm down.
"Your Majesty, I only have one daughter, Li'er, and I have spoiled her since she was little. I don't ask for anything else, I just hope that Your Majesty can forgive Li'er when she makes a mistake!"
Father Jiang's voice was choked with sobs, and he was about to stand up and kneel in front of Shen Tingsi.
Shen Tingsi quickly supported him: "Uncle, you don't have to be polite. I will love Li'er as much as you and your aunt do, and will not let her suffer any grievances."
In front of his future father-in-law, Father Jiang, Shen Tingsi did not have the slightest imperial airs. At this moment, he was just a son-in-law seeking the consent and approval of his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Father Jiang sat back in his seat, looked at Mother Jiang, and nodded in agreement.
Although they were reluctant to let their daughter leave, there was no reason for them to stop her from meeting her true love. If they could see their daughter find someone worthy of trust in her lifetime, they would finally feel relieved.
Throughout the conversation, Shen Tingsi's attitude remained gentle, no different from yesterday, which made Jiang's father and mother less restrained. With Jiang Li's presence to ease the atmosphere, the tense emotions of Jiang's father and mother soon relaxed.
On the other side, Feng Jue also expressed his feelings to Qingzhu. Ever since the first time he met Feng Jue, Qingzhu had reserved a place for him in his heart. Now the two of them can be said to be in tune with each other.
After learning that Qingzhu also had feelings for him, Feng Jue smiled like a fool and insisted on carrying Qingzhu on his back to the kitchen to meet Qingzhu's adoptive mother, Aunt Zhou.
Aunt Zhou is forty-six years old this year. There are a few strands of silver hair on her hair, but her hands and feet are still very nimble. Aunt Zhou takes care of many things in the kitchen.
Since Qingzhu was adopted, Qingzhu has been staying in the Jiang Mansion with Aunt Zhou. Although there is no blood relationship between the mother and daughter, their relationship is closer than blood is thicker than water.
Although they are reluctant to part with Qingzhu, Aunt Zhou and Jiang's father and mother have the same idea. They want to see Qingzhu find someone worthy of trust in their lifetime so that she will have someone to rely on for the rest of her life.
At the insistence of Jiang's father and mother, Shen Tingsi stayed at the Jiang Mansion for lunch, and Feng Jue and Qingzhu also stayed at Aunt Zhou's house for a meal. After the meal, the relationship between them improved a little.
Shen Tingsi and Feng Jue stayed in Jiangnan for another five days. During these five days, they went to Jiang Mansion every day. Not only did they win the beauty, but their future father-in-law and mother-in-law were also completely conquered by their sincerity.
The Empress Dowager's birthday is in a month and a half, and it will take a month to get back to the imperial city from Jiangnan. In order to get back before the Empress Dowager's birthday, Shen Tingsi submitted his resignation to Jiang's father and mother.
Although they knew that this day would come sooner or later, and Jiang's father and mother had made preparations for separation in advance, they still couldn't control their emotions when the day finally came.
She was already crying out of breath when she was sending Jiang Li, Shen Tingsi and others to the dock.
In the past, it was Jiang's father and mother who coaxed Jiang Li, but today it was Jiang Li's turn to coax the two elders. Jiang Li kept comforting them along the way, and her lips were almost worn out before she managed to temporarily calm them down.
"Li'er, when you get to the palace, don't be so willful like before, okay?"
"Don't worry, mom. I've taken note of all this."
"My daughter, remember to send a message to your father when you get to the palace. If you miss us, let us know. Your mother and I will leave immediately to visit you in the palace."
"I understand, Dad. Don't worry, I will send you messages often in the future."
Jiang Li held the arms of the two men and listened carefully to the nagging that had been said countless times.
"Dad and Mom, you have to take care of your health when I'm not around, okay?"
Father and Mother Jiang nodded, their lips trembling and unable to speak.
"Don't worry, father-in-law and mother-in-law. I will take good care of Li'er. You are always welcome to the palace."
Shen Tingsi came up to the two of them and changed his words before leaving.
Father Jiang took a deep breath and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"The boat is here, Li'er, Your Majesty, please get on board quickly, don't miss the time."
Mother Jiang suppressed her reluctance and urged the two to get on the boat. She patted Jiang Li's hand before she got on the boat. Everything was said without words.
Shen Tingsi took Jiang Li's hand and boarded the boat, followed by Feng Jue and Qingzhu. They stood at the bow and waved to Jiang's father and mother as well as Qingzhu's adoptive parents at the dock.
"Mom and Dad, please go back quickly. It's windy here. Take care of yourself!"
"Be careful on the road, and remember to send a message back!"
Jiang's father, Jiang's mother and others also waved at them, expressing their concern for them.
Under the gaze of several people, the sailboat began to move towards the center of the lake, gradually fading out of their sight and heading towards the direction of the imperial city.
On the other side, the palace.
"Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, there is news from Jiangnan!"
