Yu Zheng returned home and changed into regular clothes, ordered Zhui Yun Zhufeng to prepare generous gifts, and went to Jiang's house openly.
Although the imperial edict was delivered to Jiang Zhai yesterday, he did not go there in person, so he went to Jiang Zhai today to propose marriage.
The servants of the Jiang family all knew Yu Zheng. When they saw his driver, they immediately went in to inform him and welcomed Yu Zheng in respectfully.
"Girl, Your Highness King Jing is here." The servant reported happily.
Jiang Shu, who was checking the account books with his abacus, put down his writing and stood up, and hurried to the front hall.
Yu Zheng, dressed in dark purple silk, was sitting on the left side of the hall, with gifts piled up on several tables in the hall.
Jiang Shu stood still outside the door, took a deep breath to calm down his turbulent mood, and then stepped into the house.
"Your Highness." Jiang Shu's pretty face was slightly red, like a peach blossom in March, with a hint of feminine shyness.
Yu Zheng's dark eyes lit up and he asked her to sit next to him and talk.
The two of them had just exchanged a few words when Jiang Ning came carrying Jiang's father and Jiang's mother behind her back.
Yu Zheng has a high status, and according to the rules, he should be given the top position. But today he came to ask for marriage, so he asked Father Jiang and Mother Jiang to sit on the throne.
After the two of them sat down, Yu Zheng stood up and walked to the hall, bowed and spoke slowly.
"I have been happy with my wife for a long time, and now I sincerely seek to marry you. If you give her the right gift, we will have a prosperous progeny. We will live together for the rest of our lives, and we will never let each other down."
Father Jiang and Mother Jiang's eyes became hot when they heard this, and they nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, we will entrust Shu'er to the prince."
The imperial edict was issued, and Yu Zheng didn't have to come here, but he came here specifically to show that he paid enough attention to Jiang Shu.
Jiang Shu felt Yu Zheng's sincere and passionate heart, his apricot eyes turned slightly red, and his eyes were full of water.
In such an atmosphere, Jiang Ning, a pure and enthusiastic young man, couldn't help but choke. He asked with red eyes: "Your Majesty, after my sister marries to the palace, can she still go home often? Can we often go to the palace to see her?"
This is what Jiang Ning cares about the most.
Before Jiang Shu married to the Marquis of Jing'an, the Marquis rarely allowed her to return to her parents' home without telling her, and they were not allowed to visit at will.
Jiang Ning was very disgusted when he heard what was said that was not in line with the etiquette and the rules.
As the younger brother, Yu Zheng understood Jiang Ning's thoughts and feelings and solemnly promised: "Yes."
"She is just marrying me, not being imprisoned. Nothing will change. Not only can she return to Jiang's house at will, but she can also go out to do business and shop as usual. Of course, the door of the palace will be open for you at any time. ."
Jiang Ning was stunned. She didn't expect Yu Zheng to be so tolerant: "Isn't it against the rules and etiquette?"
Logically speaking, a royal palace has more rules than a declining prince's palace.
rule?
Yu Zheng stood upright with his hands behind his back and smiled sarcastically: "My father, the emperor, and his wife live deep in the palace and would never set foot in the palace. So in the palace, your sister and I are the rules."
After Yu Zheng reminded her, Jiang's mother suddenly remembered that after Jiang Shu married into the palace, she would neither have to serve her parents-in-law nor be controlled by her mother-in-law. As long as Yu Zheng agrees, she can do whatever she wants.
Coupled with Yu Zheng's tolerance and love, Jiang Shu fell into a lucky nest when she married into the prince's palace.
Looking at the whole of Shangjing, I can't find another one.
Thinking of this, Jiang's mother felt happy for Jiang Shu from the bottom of her heart.
Jiang Shu was very moved when he heard Yu Zheng's words. He felt his chest heat up, filled with emotion and joy.
Jiang's father and Jiang Ning, who were originally reluctant to leave, were greatly shocked after hearing this, and no longer felt a trace of panic or sadness.
Mother Jiang wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, you don't have to indulge Shu'er too much. You still have to follow the rules, but you can't lose the face of the Holy Emperor and the noble concubine."
Although the emperor and his concubines would not leave the palace easily, things outside the palace could not be hidden from their eyes and ears. If they are displeased by overstepping the rules, it will definitely put Yu Zheng in trouble and make them dissatisfied with Jiang Shu.
This marriage was a high priority for them, but they could no longer make the emperor and the imperial concubine unhappy and cause trouble to Yu Zheng.
It is important for people to know themselves. Those who value themselves will be valued by others, and those who despise themselves will be humbled by others.
"Don't worry Aunt Jiang, Shu'er will be sensible." Yu Zheng understood that Jiang Shu was not a arrogant person.
Jiang Shu felt extremely heartbroken when he listened to their words.
Yu Zheng thought of important things and said: "In the past few days, people will come to the palace to ask for names, and then the Qintian Supervisor will set an auspicious day and send them along with the betrothal gift."
"Is it so urgent?" Father Jiang and Mother Jiang were a little surprised.
It takes a long time to prepare for the wedding of a noble family, let alone the royal family.
Yu Zheng coughed lowly and said with a faint flash of dark eyes: "I am not young anymore. My father, the emperor, my mother and my concubine are a little anxious. Please forgive me."
As they are both parents, Father Jiang and Mother Jiang can naturally understand, and immediately said: "It would be better if it was earlier, we also want to have a grandson."
When Yu Zheng heard this, the doubt in his heart disappeared.
When Jiang Shu was harassed by Lin Rui last year, she told Lin Rui that she could not have children. At that time, Yu Zheng guessed that it was a lie, but he was not sure.
Later, when he got along with Jiang Shu, and even discussed marriage, Jiang Shu never mentioned this matter, and Yu Zheng had very few doubts left in his heart.
As parents, Jiang's father and Jiang's mother must have known about Jiang Shu's physical condition. What they just said completely dispelled the last trace of doubt in Yu Zheng's heart.
"Dad, what are you talking about? I'm... not married yet, how can I have a child?" Jiang Shuxian's face was red and hot, and she wrung her hands together, not daring to look at Yu Zheng.
"Okay, okay, dad won't tell, let the concubine talk about it." Jiang's father smiled happily.
Jiang Shu's face turned even redder, a bit brighter than a ripe peach in July, and Yu Zheng's throat rolled slightly at the sight.
"I'm really happy today. How many games can the prince play with me?" Jiang's father rubbed his hands with a look of anticipation on his face.
It is said that the quality of chess reflects the character, and Father Jiang also wanted to take the opportunity to learn more about Yu Zheng.
"Okay." Yu Zheng agreed happily.
Jiang Ning jumped up and said, "I want to do it too, I want to do it too."
He hasn't played chess with Yu Zheng yet!
Seeing that they were in high spirits, Jiang's mother hurriedly asked her servants to bring the chess equipment and set it up, then gave up her position and took Jiang Shu away.
The mother and daughter first ordered the kitchen to make a sumptuous banquet, and then went to Jiang Shu's house to talk about themselves.
Although Yu Zheng was a prince, he showed no air of impatience when facing Jiang's father, Jiang Ning. He played game after game with them with a serious expression, and the three of them talked happily.
Soon it was lunch time, and the kitchen was filled with a table full of delicacies. The family sat together, toasting and drinking.
I made shrimp today. Jiang Ning brought it to him out of habit, put down his chopsticks and started peeling it.
Yu Zheng was a little surprised when he saw it.
Father Jiang and Mother Jiang were afraid of being rude and hurriedly dissuaded her: "Ning'er, the prince is here, so you can't do this."
Jiang Ning didn't understand why: "Can't I peel the shrimps for my sister when the prince is here?"
Did he peel it off for Jiang Shu? Yu Zheng was even more surprised and glanced at Jiang Shu.
Jiang Shu was a little embarrassed: "Brother, don't... don't peel it off."
Yu Zheng knew that they were concerned about his presence, so he said: "It doesn't matter, I also like to eat shrimp."
Jiang Ning: "..." What does he mean? Are you using him as a shrimp peeler?
In order to resolve their discomfort, Yu Zheng stretched out his chopsticks, picked up Jiang Ning's peeled shrimp and put it into Jiang Shu's bowl, and finally ate one himself.
Jiang Ning: "??"
Jiang Shu was amused by Yu Zheng's behavior and said with a smile: "Brother, hurry up and finish eating."
Jiang Ning looked at the two people lovingly eating shrimps and suddenly didn't want to peel them.
I thought I had an extra brother-in-law to support me, but I didn’t expect that I had an extra brother-in-law to peel off!
This brother is too difficult to be a brother!
