Chapter 64 How about marrying the fourth brother?
"Promise your eldest daughter to my son, and I promise you with all my heart that she will not be wronged in my Li family!"
The emperor pulled Jiang Huailiang and opened his heart to him.
"To be honest with you, Second Brother, I originally planned to match the girl Wan with the Third Brother, but a few days ago your sister-in-law came to me and said that she wanted to match the girl from the Song family with the Third Brother.
Oh, I'm in the wrong, right? I must have agreed to whatever she said.
Second brother, let me be honest with you.
I will find a way to arrange marriages for the eldest sons and daughters of the civil and military ministers among you.
It's not that I don't trust you, it's that we've only just conquered our country and can't afford even the slightest bit of turmoil. Therefore, I can only nip the hidden danger in the bud. This is a good thing for both the ruler and the minister. What do you think?"
This was definitely a heartfelt statement, and Jiang Huailiang's mouth moved bitterly several times.
"Your Majesty, I promise to be loyal to you forever! If all else fails, how about I retire? As long as you can rest assured, I'll do anything!"
"I'm not worried about you, but you're the head of the nobility. Just because of our friendship, your eldest daughter isn't allowed into the royal family. Isn't that unreasonable?"
"……I…"
"Go back and discuss it with your brother and sister-in-law!
The third son's position as the principal wife is already gone, and I won't mention the fourth son's ridiculous behavior. Only the eldest and the second son are left. You two can choose one.
Duke Ling, this is the Emperor's order!"
When his sworn brother became the emperor, Jiang Huailiang knew that he didn't have much choice.
"My lord, I obey the order."
Lingguogong Mansion.
Qiuya Garden.
The three members of the Jiang family sat facing each other again with frowns on their faces.
"Did the emperor really issue a death order?"
"Um."
Jiang Wan slammed the table angrily.
"I'm not even thirteen years old at the moment, why is the emperor so anxious?"
"You are not very old, but his son is not young anymore."
Jiang Huailiang looked apologetic.
"Big girl, this time you've been dragged down by your father. I guess your mother and I won't be able to make the decision on your three siblings' marriages from now on."
A glint of water flashed in Xu's eyes.
"Let's go and beg the Emperor again. Tomorrow I'll go into the palace and beg the Imperial Concubine! How can I survive the days deep in the inner court?
The eldest prince will become the crown prince or even the emperor, and his backyard will be filled with countless women! My daughter absolutely cannot go..."
She didn't have any great ambitions, nor did she expect her children to marry into a wealthy family. She just hoped that her three children could live a peaceful life.
Jiang Wan thought about Li Yuanxiu's plot in the original book, but couldn't find any clues. However, Li Yanxiu and his princess Song were indeed very loving.
So I looked up at my mother.
"Mother, I will go to the palace with you tomorrow!"
Mrs. Xu looked at her husband, and only after he nodded slightly did she respond.
"good."
After a sleepless night of tossing and turning, Jiang Huailiang had just gotten up to attend court when Xu's mother and daughter got up to put on their makeup. As soon as it was light, they went straight to the palace to ask to see the Imperial Concubine.
When Mrs. Qiao received the notification from the palace servant, she was stunned for a moment.
"What could you want from me so early in the morning?"
Li Chengxiu, who was eating in my mother's palace, quickly put down his bowl and chopsticks and urged.
"Mother, Mother, please let someone in quickly!"
"Don't you think I should let someone in? You should finish your meal and leave quickly. Don't delay me here."
After driving his son away in disgust, he gave orders to the maid.
"Qingliu, go and greet the wife of the Duke of Lingguo."
"As you command!"
Li Chengxiu wiped his mouth shamelessly and ran towards his palace.
"I prepared a gift for my sister Wan, I'll go get it right away!"
Mrs. Qiao watched the boy scurry away like a rabbit, rolling her eyes in amusement. She then stood up, went into the bedroom, tidied herself up a bit, and waited for the Jiang family mother and daughter to arrive.
"Your Highness greets the Imperial Concubine!"
"Your humble servant greets the Imperial Concubine!"
"Hurry up and take a seat."
"Thank you, Madam!"
After sitting down and having tea, Jiang Wan pretended to be dignified and sat quietly in the chair, listening to her mother exchanging pleasantries with the superior.
"Your Majesty, I have the audacity to ask for an audience. I really have something I would like to ask for your grace."
Xu knew that the Imperial Noble Consort was a smart person, so she went straight to the point without beating around the bush, explaining the whole story and then pleading while wiping away her tears.
"My eldest daughter is truly not cut out to be your mistress. Please, Your Majesty, persuade the Emperor to retract his decision!"
If there is anyone in this world who can make the emperor change his mind, it is only the imperial concubine who has this ability.
Qiao narrowed her eyes and looked at Jiang Wan.
"You don't want to marry the eldest prince?"
Jiang Wan stood up and knelt down.
"No, to be more precise, I don't want to marry any prince. I am not suitable for the palace. I want to marry a simple man and live a simple life."
"What? Did marrying the prince make you feel wronged?"
The room was quiet for a few moments.
"say."
"right!"
Jiang Wan boldly raised his head and met the Imperial Concubine's gaze.
"I have a bad temper and I can't stand some grievances!"
The little face is beautiful, bright, bold and unruly.
Qiao lowered her eyes and looked at her.
"I can't stand it. What can you do?"
Bang!
The teacup on the table next to Jiang Wan was suddenly crushed into several pieces by a small, snow-white hand.
"Perhaps, I can do that."
Qiao was a little stunned.
Mrs. Xu rushed over to check her daughter's hand.
"You kid, why did you start fighting over a disagreement? What did I teach you at home? Let me see, are you hurt?"
"No, Master Zhao taught me to use clever strength."
After making sure that her daughter's hand was fine, Xu bowed and apologized to the Imperial Concubine.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. My little girl has a bad temper. It's all because I didn't teach her well. Please forgive me!"
Qiao waved her hand and asked her to get up.
"That's fine. How can a young man not be full of energy?"
Looking at the little girl in front of her, she suddenly laughed, feeling as if she saw herself many years ago.
"Sister, you are a smart child, and I won't lie to you. Given your father's status and military power, the Emperor would certainly be worried if he allowed you to marry someone else.
If your father were to retire like this, would you be willing to accept that? Your father's achievements were earned by slashing and slashing his way through the battlefield. Are you willing to let everything the Jiang family has go to waste?"
"I can't bear to."
"So, girl,"
The imperial concubine smiled and gave her advice.
"How about you marry my fourth child?"
Bang!
A silly roe deer outside the door bumped directly into the door frame, and the little things in its hands fell to the ground with a bang.
Li Chengxiu was jumping around like a frightened dog.
"no!"
"Do you have the right to speak? These are all women chatting, what are you, a man, doing here? Get away from here!"
She was almost able to seduce this clever girl, but her silly son acted foolishly again, making Qiao so angry that she almost lost her noble image as a palace concubine.
