At this moment, Jiang was playing chess with Liu Ma with a smile on her face, and she looked very happy.
"Your chess skills haven't improved at all, haha..."
"This old slave is so stupid. If the old lady hadn't taught me, I wouldn't even know how to pick up a chess piece."
"Hahaha...you're exaggerating. You only know how to cheer me up."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Mengli's voice came from behind.
"Grandma, are you playing chess? You look pretty good."
Jiang had her back to him, unaware that Wen Mohan was there too. "What's good about that? It's just killing time. If I were to play chess with your grandfather, I'd be defeated in just a few moves."
Aunt Liu had already seen Wen Mohan, and her smile froze.
Seeing that her expression was not right, Jiang looked back and saw Wen Mohan standing behind her with an elegant smile.
The smile on his face froze for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure, forcing a faint smile and nodding, "Your Highness Prince Yu..."
"Grandmother, there's no need to be so polite." Wen Mohan also bowed in return. "Just now, the servants outside said that you were not at the mansion. I thought you were really not there."
"It seems that these servants neglected their duties and didn't even come in to check. Otherwise, they wouldn't have said that Grandmother wasn't at the mansion."
Jiang felt a headache coming back and could no longer maintain the faint smile on her face.
He immediately asked Liu Ma to put away the chess pieces and then ordered Xiaochun to make tea.
"Your Highness, please sit down and have some of the coarse tea from our mansion."
Even if you feel uncomfortable, you will still be polite.
Wen Mohan didn't hesitate to sit down and said, "Thank you, Grandma. I like the tea here the most. The tea in the palace is not as fragrant as the tea here."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mengli pressed her lips into a line in a desperate attempt to suppress a smile.
She is quite good at talking, as if she were covered with honey.
Jiang didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Your Highness, I'm sure you're not here just for tea this time, right?"
Wen Mohan nodded, "Yes, Meng Li has good news to tell you. Or rather, two good news. I just don't know which one to tell you first."
Two good things?
Jiang wouldn't believe this either.
The good things that happened between the two of them were bad things in her eyes.
Jiang Mengli stole a glance at Jiang Shi, then said to Wen Mohan: "The best things will be left for later, so you will be happier this way."
Wen Mohan heard this and felt that there was some truth in it. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
Their eyes met, filled with affection.
Jiang frowned and said impatiently, "I have a headache. If you want to talk, just tell me. If not, I'll go and rest."
As he was about to stand up, Jiang Mengli hurriedly said, "Let's talk, don't be anxious."
Wen Mohan poured a cup of tea and handed it to Jiang, smiling faintly, "The Imperial Astronomical Observatory has already selected a date. It will be an auspicious day in half a month."
Upon hearing this, Jiang dropped the teacup in her hand with a clang.
The tea in the cup spilled all over the floor, but fortunately it didn't spill on me.
Xiaochun hurried forward and squatted down to pick up the broken pieces.
Jiang's face darkened as he asked, "How can this be a good thing? It's a bad thing for me! Why is it so urgent to wait for half a month?"
"A-Li, why did you agree to him? What's so good about him? As a prince, he will have three wives and four concubines in the future."
"He likes you now and makes a lot of promises to you, but can he guarantee that he won't change his mind in the future? Men's hearts can change."
Wen Mohan was afraid that Jiang Mengli would be affected by this, so he immediately assured her, "Grandma, believe me, the situation you described will never happen."
"You can't just not get married because you're worried about something that hasn't happened yet, right? They say it's better to destroy a temple than to ruin a marriage. So, my grandmother did this..."
"It's different!" Jiang interrupted before he could finish, "You two are not suitable, the most unsuitable couple!"
When he said this, he became a little excited and his face turned pale.
Jiang Mengli hurriedly stood up and walked over to comfort her, "Grandma, don't be angry. I have some special good news to tell you."
Jiang: "I won't listen, my heart can't take it!"
It’s definitely not a good thing.
She was afraid that she would vomit blood out of anger.
Jiang Mengli reached out and hugged her, saying coquettishly, "Grandma, don't be angry. This is really good news. I begged His Majesty in the court today to let my parents come back."
"What?" Jiang looked at her in disbelief. "Then...then what did the emperor say? He didn't agree to your request?"
"Did the other civil and military officials say anything? Don't keep me in suspense. Tell me what's going on."
Although I seldom mention my son, I actually miss him often.
I miss you the most when it’s late at night and everyone is asleep. I always wish my whole family was there.
Jiang Mengli smiled and said, "His Majesty has agreed, but my golden medal of immunity from death is gone. His Majesty said he will send it to me once the imperial edict is drafted."
When Jiang heard this, he felt that the whole sky suddenly became much brighter.
Suddenly it felt unreal, like a dream.
Those who have been exiled have rarely returned.
"A-Li, are you saying this is a dream?" Jiang was a little dazed. "Pinch me and see if I'm dreaming."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mengli immediately pinched her leg, causing her to groan in pain. "It really hurts, you hit her really hard."
Hahaha……
Jiang Mengli laughed so hard that she fell forward and backward, "You asked me to pinch you. Only when it hurts will I know that this is not a dream."
"Hahaha... It's not a dream, it's not a dream..." Jiang smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed. She was so happy that she didn't know what to do.
Now it seems that all the unhappy things have been forgotten.
She laughed for a long time and then said, "We need to decorate the other courtyards as well so that they can live there when they come back."
"How long will it take to get back from the wilderness? How can we get there faster? The journey back will also be a bit dangerous..."
I was so happy that I was incoherent.
He kept talking, and his words were full of concern for them.
Wen Mohan comforted her, "Don't worry, grandma. I will ask the emperor for a few Dragon Shadow Guards and go to the wilderness with the eunuch who issued the imperial decree."
"With the Dragon Shadow Guards protecting them, you don't have to worry about their safety. They'll be there faster if they go as fast as they can, and I believe they'll be back in three months."
The Dragon Shadow Guards are carefully selected and rigorously trained.
Jiang smiled and nodded repeatedly after hearing this. "Okay, thank you very much, Your Highness Prince Yu. Haha... That's great..."
I dream of family reunion.
I thought I would never have such an opportunity until I died.
I never thought that they would be able to come back now.
Wen Mohan hesitated for a moment and then said, "Grandma, can you tell me why you don't want us to be together?"
The originally joyful atmosphere was instantly broken by his words.
Jiang looked at the two of them with a complicated look in her eyes, and then said, "Your Highness Prince Yu, please go back first. I will visit you tomorrow."
She didn't want Jiang Mengli to know those things, and wanted to talk to Wen Mohan alone. The fewer people who knew, the better.
Wen Mohan heard this, smiled and stood up and said, "Okay, then I will wait for grandma in the mansion tomorrow."
