Seeing Gao Rui's uncontrollable smug and happy expression, Jiang Shi rarely had the thought of rebelling against his superiors, and his hands under his sleeves clenched into fists.
Fortunately, he controlled it in time.
Jiang Shi smiled and said, "Your Highness, it's a bit hasty to get married at the end of this year. Besides, it's cold in winter and it's not very convenient to travel. Why not wait until next spring when the flowers are in bloom?"
"Because I can't wait to marry Yingluo, to avoid any further complications. Who knows what will happen next?" Gao Rui looked at Jiang Shi. "Are you really not planning to marry Miss Yu soon? Sixth Brother has been acting strangely lately."
He frowned, the joy on his face faded, and he became more serious. "And father, I heard from Doctor Li that your health is getting worse."
This is also the reason why Gao Rui was able to marry a commoner girl as his principal wife so quickly.
To bring good luck.
Jiang Shi helped Gao Rui invite a master to lobby the emperor, and actually made the emperor believe that Gao Rui marrying a commoner girl would not only bring him good luck, but also make Wanjin's national fortune better and better.
Gao Rui secretly said to Jiang Shi: "When a person gets old, he will start to believe in the so-called gods and Buddhas fortune-telling."
Jiang Shi remained silent.
"Your Highness, please rest assured. His Majesty will recover and will definitely be able to witness the birth of the little prince."
Gao Rui sighed softly, "I hope so."
He had mixed feelings.
Although he did not have much father-son affection for the emperor, and even hated him very much at one time, he suddenly felt a little at a loss when he saw that the emperor, who was high above and awe-inspiring without even getting angry, was now fading away, gradually becoming old, and might even leave him forever at any time.
Gao Rui suppressed his wandering thoughts and turned to talk to Jiang Shi about other things.
"By the way, do you still remember the third place winner in last year's imperial examination?"
Jiang Shi's eyes flickered slightly, and he said calmly: "I remember, what's wrong?"
Gao Rui smiled and said, "I remember you told me that you wanted him to go out and gain some experience so that you could determine if he could eventually be of use to me."
"For over a year now, I have been observing him. I never expected that this third place winner is truly talented and knowledgeable. He has only been in the local area for less than two years and has already made outstanding achievements.
I had someone report this to the Emperor, and he immediately issued an order to promote him to a Beijing official. He will arrive in the capital soon, just in time for my wedding. You must help me have a good chat with him then."
"He seems to be from Chen County, just like your fiancée. Miss Yu is here too, and I think he won't refuse if you help me."
Jiang Shi subconsciously frowned and pursed his lips slightly.
This is really not good news.
He suddenly realized that he was not a generous person. He could not remain calm and tolerant when encountering anyone or anything related to Yu Tanqi.
Seeing that he was silent, Gao Rui thought he was thinking, so he asked, "Zi'an, what's going on?"
"Nothing, nothing." Jiang Shi straightened the corners of his lips.
He didn't want a man who had coveted his fiancée for many years to see her again.
Gao Rui was surprised: "Why? Do you know something?"
"Yes." Jiang Shi said seriously, "Your Highness, there is no need to rush to win him over. We still need to observe him further to ensure that there are no mistakes. It will not be too late to actively win him over."
Gao Rui trusted him very much and didn't think much about it. "Okay, I'll listen to you."
"Your Highness, have you invited him to your wedding?"
"Not yet. I want to send him the invitation after he arrives in the capital."
Jiang Shi suddenly smiled and said, "In that case, let me help His Highness deliver the invitation to him personally."
"I'll leave it to you if you want."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Jiang Shi took the invitation card that Gao Rui gave to Chi Li, and immediately gave it to Danqing after separating from Gao Rui.
"You handle it."
"yes."
Danqing took the exquisitely crafted and expensive invitation, thought for a moment, and decided to throw it into the charcoal fire.
…
Soon it was Gao Rui's wedding day.
The wedding of a legitimate prince is different from that of others. It needs to be held in the palace. Therefore, Yu Tanqi has to get up early and dress up to prepare to enter the palace with Jiang Shi.
Yu Tanqi curled up in the warm bed and didn't want to think about it.
Taohua excitedly walked to the bedside and said to her, "Miss, it's snowing today!"
Yu Tanqi looked at the still-open window in surprise: "Is this true? Is it snowing so early this year?"
Taohua nodded quickly: "It's true, it's light snow. Miss, you can open the window and take a look. There are snowflakes outside. It's so beautiful."
"Then open the window and take a look."
The window was opened and a gust of cold air was let in instantly.
Yu Tanqi opened her eyes wide and looked towards the window, and found that Taohua really did not lie to her. It was snowing outside, and there were some white and crystal snowflakes floating in the air. Although they were not big or many, they were still a pleasant surprise.
"Help me up, get dressed and wash up." She instantly felt motivated to get up.
"yes."
Taohua quickly closed the window, and then came over with Linlang to help Yu Tanqi get up, wash, and get dressed.
Because she was attending a wedding banquet, Jiang Shi gave Yu Tanqi a bright red dress.
After putting it on, she walked out of her boudoir and excitedly walked into the empty courtyard, reaching out to catch the falling snowflakes.
Suddenly, Yu Guangzhong saw someone walking towards her.
The young man was wearing a red robe and black boots, his clothes were neatly folded, his body was as tall as jade, and his pair of smiling black eyes looked at her gently.
The porcelain-white face, set off by the inky long hair, looked like a demon or fairy in the snow, so beautiful that it was breathtaking.
Jiang Shi's steps seemed to be leisurely, but in fact he had already walked quickly in front of her.
"Good morning, Tan Qi."
Jiang Shi's gentle and smiling voice brought back Yu Tanqi's soul.
"Good morning." She put down her hand and smiled sweetly.
Jiang Shi looked at her palm-sized face, which was made even whiter as snow by the gorgeous red long dress beneath her. He smiled slightly and reached out to gently wipe away the snowflakes that had fallen on her black hair.
"Tan Qi looks so beautiful in this red dress." He praised sincerely.
"You look good in red." She looked at him with sparkling eyes.
Suddenly, she thought of something and asked, "Would it be inappropriate for us to wear bright red to attend the eldest prince's wedding banquet?"
"No, a wedding banquet should be festive."
"Really?"
Yu Tanqi looked down at her red dress, then looked at Jiang Shi and blinked.
Finally, she couldn't help but ask, "If we dress like this, won't we steal the spotlight from the eldest prince and Yingluo?"
If you don’t know, you might think they are the newlyweds at the wedding banquet.
Jiang Shi curved his lips, gently pinched her soft cheeks, and said softly: "No, Tan Qi, believe me."
Since he said so, Yu Tanqi had nothing more to say.
"Let's go, let's go have breakfast first."
Jiang Shi held Yu Tanqi's hand and interlocked their fingers.
After breakfast, the two of them got on a carriage and set off for the palace.
The carriage stopped at the palace gate. After Yu Tanqi got off the carriage with the help of Jiang Shi, he keenly heard exclamations and gasps.
