When others asked him why he practiced martial arts, he only said that he practiced martial arts to protect his father.
Although it later turned out that this ice-smart kid actually had shortcomings.
Although he ultimately failed to learn it.
Thinking of this, Emperor Yong only asked the eunuch beside him to find another box and put it away. As for other things, he could not keep it anymore.
He waved his hand and asked someone to carry the last box down.
When he raised his head again, he saw that Jiang Nianjiao had been waiting aside for a long time.
She was dressed plainly today, clearly looking like a widow.
As soon as he saw her, Emperor Yong unconsciously thought of Concubine Yuxian who left him not long ago.
This girl is so lucky that the two people she cares about actually care about her.
During her lifetime, Concubine Xian almost only regarded her niece as her biological daughter.
King Jin played a opposite role with his mother for her sake.
Otherwise, he had no intention of giving this girl new grace.
But she was also unfortunate. After all, the two people who loved her most had left her one after another. Moreover, her marriage went through many ups and downs from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, but it never came to fruition.
But no matter what, he decided to give the girl the freedom to get married.
So after pondering for a moment, he suddenly said to Jiang Nianjiao, "Have you gone to the front hall to see Zhen'er?"
Jiang Nianjiao nodded.
"Do you know why I came to you?" Emperor Yong then asked softly.
Although Jiang Nianjiao had already guessed the reason, she still chose to shake her head.
Emperor Yong didn't say much. He only said, "I originally planned to arrange your marriage with Zhen'er in a grand way during the New Year celebrations after Zhen'er came back from Yunzhou."
Having said this, Emperor Yong then let out a long sigh, "I just didn't expect that God would not follow people's wishes, and I didn't expect that something like this would happen to Zhen'er. If I had known, I wouldn't have sent him there."
Speaking of this matter, Emperor Yong seemed to regret his decision very much. He held his forehead with his hands and his voice choked up several times.
Jiang Nianjiao originally thought he was as cold as Emperor Yong, so he should have been used to this kind of thing. After all, in the original world, if he had not completely ignored the father-son friendship, Zhao Yanzhen would not have rebelled later.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Yong was actually a little sad at this moment.
Therefore, even though Jiang Nianjiao didn't have a good impression of Emperor Yong because of her aunt's affairs.
But at this moment, he at least looked vaguely like a father.
"Your Highness, please express your condolences and stop by." Jiang Nianjiao whispered.
Emperor Yong waved his hands feebly. After a while, he put away his tired expression and cheered up, "It's a pity that the marriage between you two can't happen. I have no intention of delaying you. After all, your father You are the only daughter. Although you are a woman, you still have to shoulder the responsibility of opening up the family, so I plan to cancel your marriage to Zhen'er."
"Fortunately, you are not married to Zhen'er yet, so you don't have to mourn for him. If you have a suitable candidate in mind, I can still make the decision for you."
With Qi Peipei's tip, Jiang Nianjiao had naturally expected what Emperor Yong said.
Emperor Yong thought that he had spoken very openly.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Nianjiao suddenly knelt down.
Just when Emperor Yong was puzzled, Jiang Nianjiao said loudly, "Please take back your Majesty's orders. Gillian does not want to marry anyone else in this life. If possible, I would like to keep the integrity of the Third Highness."
Hearing these words, even Emperor Yong was shocked. He looked at Jiang Nianjiao carefully and saw that the woman's face was full of determination and stubbornness.
Emperor Yong felt that his mood was complicated and difficult to describe.
He naturally hopes that his child can get married, and he is actually more willing to keep her in the royal family than to let the Jiang family join other families in marriage.
But for a marriage without heirs and the status of a widow, I'm afraid Jiang Fang may not agree to it.
Therefore, after Emperor Yong thought about it for a while, he just said, "You should think about it carefully. If your father knows about your decision, he may be very sad."
“Gillian has made up her mind!
Even if my father comes forward, I will not change my mind towards His Highness. If His Majesty does not agree, Gillian invites herself to become a monk at Miaofa Nunnery and prays for His Majesty the King of Jin. "Jiang Nianjiao insisted.
Emperor Yong didn't know what kind of medicine Jiang Nianjiao was selling in the gourd. He didn't think Jiang Nianjiao had deep feelings for his son. After all, didn't she keep saying that Chen Jinghuai was her husband before? But later, even if her son interfered with her marriage, she was not very sad.
And didn’t Lu Zhizhang often go to Jiang Mansion during these days? Although he only wanted to discuss government affairs with Jiang Xiang, everyone knew that he was a drunkard and did not care about drinking.
It was also because he saw that this young man had no foundation and had now been taken over by his own son that he could allow the two people to communicate with each other.
Thinking of this, Emperor Yong couldn't help but said again, "Think about it again, and why do I remember that you have been very close to Lu Zhizhang recently?"
"Your Majesty has misunderstood. I have nothing to do with Lu Zhizhang. He just consulted my father on official matters."
After saying this, Jiang Nianjiao seemed to be afraid that Emperor Yong would not believe her words, so she only added, "Besides, it's not me that Mr. Lu likes."
"Not you?" Emperor Yong obviously didn't believe this.
However, as an emperor, it is naturally not easy for him to discuss these gossips.
After Jiang Nianjiao said this, she no longer mentioned the matter with Lu Zhizhang.
She only knelt down and begged again, "Please fulfill my wishes for Your Highness."
Seeing Jiang Nianjiao's insistence, Emperor Yong naturally no longer pressed for this matter. He only whispered, "Actually, it is also your father's request to me to give you another marriage. I will do your father's ideological work on this matter." Bar."
Seeing Emperor Yong say this, Jiang Nianjiao naturally thanked him.
Then seeing that what needed to be said had been said, Emperor Yong naturally waved Jiang Nianjiao off.
I just didn't expect that as soon as Jiang Nianjiao left, there was only one person walking out from behind the large marble screen behind the inner courtyard.
The man was wearing a crimson official robe, his face was like a crown jade, and his shape was like a green pine.
If Jiang Nianjiao were present, she would definitely recognize that person as Lu Zhizhang, who had been visiting Jiang's house during this period.
"I'm here to greet you, Your Majesty." Lu Zhizhang lifted up his clothes and knelt down.
Emperor Yong raised his hand to indicate that he didn't need to be polite. Then Emperor Yong only said in a tone that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, "Didn't you say before that you and her have made some progress?"
"Why, it seems to me that the progress you mentioned is just your self-righteousness."
Hearing Emperor Yong's words, Lu Zhizhang couldn't help but subconsciously clenched his fists.
He did not think that his relationship with Jiang Nianjiao was due to his own selfishness.
After all, could the burning words written in black and white be fake?
If it must be said to be false, unless she was teasing herself from the beginning.
But what good could she gain by teasing herself.
But if she really dared to tease him, he would never let her get away so easily.
After all, in his twenty years of career, no one has ever been able to trick him and get away easily.
Especially this time, his rash approach did not come entirely from Emperor Yong's instruction, but from his sincerity.
He sincerely wanted to marry her, not for her power or to take advantage of her.
But just when he thought they knew each other, all he was waiting for was her statement that she wanted to keep the integrity of the dead Third Highness, and her denial of their relationship.
Apparently in their recent correspondence, they had even discussed marriage.
Faced with Emperor Yong's doubts, at some point he even just wanted to show Emperor Yong the letters he had exchanged with Jiang Nianjiao.
But he knew that he couldn't do this. If he did, wouldn't he expose his thoughts to others?
Therefore, after a while, Lu Zhizhang only whispered, "Your Majesty is right. I think I misunderstood the progress between me and Miss Jiang. But don't worry, Your Majesty, as long as you give me some more time, I will definitely be able to..."
Unexpectedly, Emperor Yong waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about it. I thought about it and felt that her
That's a good statement. Since she is willing to keep her integrity for Zhen'er, I am naturally happy to see it happen. After all, Zhen'er liked her very much during his lifetime. If she could become Zhen'er's wife, it would fulfill Zhen'er's wish. "
Hearing this, Lu Zhizhang's fist only tightened slightly again.
She was obviously his, but in the end he could only let her become someone else's wife?
He was really unwilling.
But so what if you don't give in? Could he still compete with the prince for a woman?
It's just ridiculous that he can't even compete with a dead man.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Emperor Yong thought he still had concerns, so he whispered again, "Are you still worried about Jiang Xiang? Don't worry, this Jiang Fang may not be able to defeat her daughter. Even if he can defeat her, Now, I can grant her another marriage. As for the conflicts, let the father and daughter resolve them themselves."
Of course, Lu Zhizhang was not worried about this. He was just unwilling to do so, but what was his identity? Who was the person sitting above him? Even though he was unwilling to do so, he could only say, "The Holy One, the Holy One."
Then he only stayed with Emperor Yong until there was a eunuch outside the door looking for Emperor Yong to leave. He just left like a ghost through the back door of Prince Jin's Mansion.
There was already a boy and a carriage waiting for him at the back door. He just got on the carriage without saying a word.
"Master, did the Holy Master punish you?" The boy couldn't help but stepped forward and asked.
Lu Zhizhang glanced at the young man expressionlessly, and then said, "Did you bring all the letters from the Jiang family?"
Naturally, the boy nodded quickly, and then took out a carved sandalwood letter box from the small cabinet under the carriage.
The letter box contained the letters he had exchanged with Jiang Nianjiao during these days.
He just read the letters one by one carefully, and the more he looked at them, the more clouded his eyes became.
In the end, he just whispered in a voice that was almost gritting his teeth: "You asked for this."
