"Your Majesty, what's going on between you and my daughter?!"
Madam Jiang was puzzled, wondering what had happened. Fei Leng explained the whole story, including how he had been drugged.
After hearing what Fei Leng said, Lord Jiang and Madam Jiang remained silent for a long time, perhaps because they still couldn't accept it!
After waiting for a long time, Madam Jiang looked at Jiang Jingyue and spoke hesitantly.
"Xiao Jing, what are your thoughts on this matter? Are you willing to go with the Emperor?"
The main concern, in Madam Jiang's view, was that the Emperor was indeed getting quite old, and she was genuinely worried.
When he heard Madam Jiang ask that question, Fei Leng felt inexplicably nervous. He kept his eyes fixed on Jiang Jingyue, and only when he saw Jiang Jingyue nod did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Since Jiang Jingyue had no objections and was already carrying the Emperor's child, Madam Jiang had no choice but to agree. Otherwise, given Jiang Jingyue's current state, she didn't know what to do.
"Mother, the Emperor treats me very well, so don't worry! Moreover, the Emperor said that after I enter the palace, he will make me a concubine and treat me well. Your Majesty, don't you agree?"
Upon hearing Jiang Jingyue's words, Fei Leng immediately nodded.
"Don't worry! I promise I will treat Xiao Jing well. And when the child in Xiao Jing's belly is born, if it is a prince, I will make him the crown prince, and if it is a princess, I will make her the eldest princess. I will definitely treat Xiao Jing well."
Lord Jiang had a certain understanding of what kind of person the Emperor was, and he believed what the Emperor said, so he nodded after hearing what the Emperor said.
"Your Majesty, since it is so, I hope Your Majesty can treat Xiao Jing well. Although I know that I am not qualified to say such things to Your Majesty, I still want to say it."
Xiao Jing has been raised as a boy by us since birth, so she behaves very much like a boy in some ways, almost exactly like one. I hope Your Majesty will not mind. She is a child I have always cherished and pampered. The only time she disobeyed me was when she ran off to the border to fight. I just hope that Your Majesty can continue to pamper her and not let her suffer any injustice.”
Jiang Jingyue was so moved that she shed tears. She hadn't expected her parents to think so much about her. She couldn't control herself and ran towards Prime Minister Jiang, throwing herself into his arms.
"Daddy, you are so good to Xiao Jing. Xiao Jing is so happy to have such a good daddy like you."
These are words that the Jiang Jingyue of the past would never have said, but this Jiang Jingyue is not the same Jiang Jingyue.
Lord Jiang's heavy mood vanished instantly because of these few words, and he suddenly had a change of heart.
As long as their daughter is happy, that's all that matters. It's just that the man their daughter likes seems a bit out of place in their eyes.
"Xiao Jing, as long as you're happy, that's all that matters. If you're happy, your father will be at ease. The most important thing now is to find some kind of excuse to let Xiao Jing regain her womanhood so that the child in her belly can be born legitimately."
Fei Leng had been thinking about this as well. The main reason was that this matter couldn't be explained in just a few words, so Fei Leng thought for a long time but still didn't speak. Perhaps he didn't know how to say it!
For a moment, everyone fell into deep thought, and no one spoke.
After a while, Jiang Jingyue spoke first.
"Otherwise, you could just say you've adopted a goddaughter. Didn't the Emperor and Empress Dowager say they'd help you with the selection process? I can then participate, and that way you can enter the palace legitimately."
It has to be said that Jiang Jingyue's idea was good, and it immediately gained the approval of the others. However, Fei Leng was still a little worried about Jiang Jingyue.
“But Xiao Jing, if we go through the selection process, it will take quite a while. By then, your belly will definitely be big, and you won’t be able to participate in the selection at all.”
What Fei Leng said wasn't without reason. Now, the idea that he had finally come up with had been overturned again.
"I think the most important thing right now is to send Xiao Jing into the palace. Otherwise, when the baby is more advanced in the pregnancy, it will definitely not be so easy for her to enter the palace. Let's do as Xiao Jing said. She is your adopted daughter. I will issue an edict to let her enter the palace."
After much thought, Fei Leng could only come up with this one method, which was simple and probably wouldn't result in as many people getting pregnant.
"But Your Majesty, what about the Empress Dowager..."
Although Jiang Jingyue didn't finish speaking, Fei Leng immediately understood and reached out to rub Jiang Jingyue's head.
This action almost made Lord Jiang so excited that he slapped Fei Leng's hand away. If he hadn't suddenly remembered that the person in front of him was the Emperor, he would have already made a move.
"Xiao Jing, you don't need to worry about the Empress Dowager. I will speak to her. Now that you have a child, your mother will be very happy to know."
With all her worries resolved, Jiang Jingyue felt much more relaxed.
All she needs to do now is wait patiently for the man to come and take her to the palace.
"Xiao Jing, I'll head back to the palace now. I'll go back and talk to the Empress Dowager about this, and ask her to help you make proper arrangements for your life after you become Empress. Now that you have a child, you need to be more attentive to everything."
Jiang Jingyue nodded, then just kept staring at Fei Leng, showing no intention of seeing Fei Leng off.
Fei Leng was getting impatient, and Jiang Jingyue was getting a little helpless. Didn't they say they were leaving? Why are they still standing here?
It was Madam Jiang who saw through Fei Leng's thoughts, and she immediately spoke to Jiang Jingyue.
"Xiao Jing, the Emperor is leaving. Go and see him off."
Jiang Jingyue was stunned for a moment. When she looked up, she saw Fei Leng's expectant gaze.
Jiang Jingyue, who originally didn't want to see him off, had no choice but to follow Fei Leng and escort him out.
As soon as they were out of Madam Jiang's sight, Fei Leng immediately pulled Jiang Jingyue into his arms.
"Xiao Jing, why do I feel like you're still very happy even though I'm about to leave? You don't seem to be reluctant at all."
Fei Leng's words almost caught Jiang Jingyue off guard. Hearing his mournful tone, Jiang Jingyue was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Your Majesty, how could I be happy? The thought that I won't be able to see Your Majesty for a long time after Your Majesty returns to the palace makes me extremely sad. That's why I didn't look at Your Majesty just now. I was afraid that if I saw Your Majesty, I would be reluctant to leave."
After Jiang Jingyue said these words, Fei Leng was stunned and instantly believed that what Jiang Jingyue said was true.
