Jiang Zhinian talked a lot with Leng Yuebai, and learned some of the situation in the capital. He also knew that there was nothing wrong in the capital for the time being.

It was not until the evening that Jiang Zhinian saw Yan Jiyou again.

Although she knew Yan Jiyou was fine, she was actually worried because she didn't see him come back.

Only after seeing him coming out of the palace and seeing him with her own eyes did Jiang Zhinian feel relieved and at ease.

Yan Jiyou was still holding the food box he brought back from the palace. He looked at Jiang Zhinian and said gently, "I'm sorry, I'm back late."

Jiang Zhinian's nose felt sore and he walked forward.

Yan Jiyou naturally and gently embraced her.

"Don't worry, nothing's wrong."

"I will convince my father to grant us a marriage, but it may take some time."

"But I will ask my father to issue the imperial decree to grant the marriage as soon as possible."

Even if Jiang Zhinian didn't ask anything, Yan Jiyou wanted to explain it to her.

Jiang Zhinian felt at ease when listening to Yan Jiyou's words.

He would tell her everything, so that she could feel more truly cared for and loved.

This made her feel more secure and confident in this relationship.

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard. It's good to think of you."

Maybe Zhinian didn't even know that she gave him great motivation.

"You don't have to worry. Father has praised you a lot."

"I also recognize your contribution, but for the sake of your reputation, the emperor cannot reward you more for the time being."

"In fact, my father originally wanted to make you a princess."

Jiang Zhinian was shocked when he heard this, "Princess!"

Only royal relatives are qualified to be called princesses.

And I have never heard of anyone being conferred the title of a princess.

Yan Jiyou knew that Jiang Zhinian was surprised, so he said, "Father is telling the truth."

"How the plague in Jiangzhou was resolved this time may be just my one-sided account. Father may not believe it completely. He is worried that my description may be emotional."

"But the doctors came back with us this time. Father summoned a few of them and found out that you were the one who came up with the antidote to the plague. So Father believed in your medical skills and believed what I said before that you saved me."

"Perhaps Father will also call you into the palace for questioning."

"But don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

Yan Jiyou's eyes were determined.

He wouldn't let anything hurt her in the slightest.

"As for the Huo family's affairs, Master Huo and his men may have to stay in Beizhou for a while. I will find a way to get them back to Beijing as soon as possible."

Yan Jiyou said he would find a way, so he would definitely do it.

Jiang Zhinian knew that Yan Jiyou would do this if he said so.

He never tells lies.

She gently pressed Yan Jiyou's hand and shook her head, "No need to do that. I've thought it through. It might be safer for grandpa and the others to stay in Beizhou."

"After all, there are more disputes in the capital."

"If grandpa and his friends come back this time, I don't know how the other princes will attack them."

"They are away from trouble in the North State, at least they are safe."

"Besides, my grandfather and his family have been pardoned, and their previous crimes have been waived. It would be good for them to stay in Beizhou for a while."

"And this should also be what grandpa and the others think."

She thought her grandfather would think the same way.

My grandfather mentioned some ideas when we were communicating via correspondence before.

In addition, her grandfather gave her many personal connections and asked her to give them to Yan Jiyou. Obviously, he also decided not to return to the capital for the short term.

What's more, there is a difference between returning to the capital directly and returning to the capital after making a contribution.

In her previous life, she remembered that some things were discovered in Beizhou, which could help her grandfather and others gain merit.

If things in the capital could be resolved sooner, she would like to take some time to go to Beizhou and talk to her grandfather in person.

It is always inconvenient to write in a letter.

Some things are better said in person.

Yan Jiyou lowered his head and looked carefully at Jiang Zhinian's expression. Knowing that she was serious, he said, "Okay."

As long as Jiang Zhinian wants her grandfather to come back, he will find a way to get them back as soon as possible.

What's more, Master Huo is his master, so he should do so.

But if Zhinian and Master Huo agree, then Master Huo should stay in Jiangzhou for the time being.

After talking for a while, Yan Jiyou sat down with Jiang Zhinian, opened the lunch box and said, "Are you hungry?"

"Eat while it's hot first."

"These are some dishes I asked Chef Lin to prepare. I asked him to make more."

He knew what kind of food she liked to eat, and Lin Yuchu was a good cook, so Jiang Zhinian liked to eat these dishes before.

When she went to Jiangzhou before, Chinen didn't eat these meals.

So he brought some extra, just to let Jiang Zhinian eat more.

Jiang Zhinian might be worried about what happened in the morning court today and might not be able to eat well.

Looking at the sumptuous meal on the table, Jiang Zhinian felt the atmosphere of home, a smile appeared on his face, and his body and mind felt relaxed.

"Try it."

Yan Jiyou handed the chopsticks and bowl to Jiang Zhinian.

He picked up the chopsticks and served the food to Jiang Zhinian.

Perhaps because Yan Jiyou was by his side, Jiang Zhinian instinctively felt at ease and relaxed, and ate too much without realizing it.

The two of them were eating and talking, having a great time.

Yan Jiyou likes this feeling very much.

He thought that only when Jiang Zhinian was by his side did he feel the warmth and that his heart had found a home.

……

Everyone thought that after a few days of waiting for the Fourth Prince's issue to be resolved, the Emperor would grant the marriage.

If the marriage was granted directly in the court at that time, everyone would talk about Jiang Zhinian's affair with the Fourth Prince and the Crown Prince after dinner, and they would worry that it would be disadvantageous to Jiang Zhinian.

So this matter was put on hold for the time being.

But unexpectedly, after a few days, some rumors appeared in the capital.

These rumors are all slandering Jiang Zhinian.

"I heard that the reason why the Fourth Prince was imprisoned was actually because he said he liked Miss Jiang."

"Just because you said you liked Miss Jiang, you were locked up in the Dali Temple. Is this so outrageous? Or is Miss Jiang so capable?"

"It's because the Fourth Prince wants to compete with the Crown Prince for a woman. He's just a prince, how can he possibly compete with the Crown Prince? Naturally, he won't let her go."

"And why does Jiang Zhinian seem like a beauty who brings disaster? You see, because she was the wife of the Yongping Marquis, the Yongping Marquis died and the Yongping Marquis's mansion was gone."

"That's right. Now that the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince are involved, how can she, a divorced woman, still dream of becoming the Crown Princess or the Crown Prince's Consort?"

"That's right, I don't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is."

"There must be something wrong with this Jiang Zhinian."

"That's right. Only a seductress would be able to do this. She caused the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince to fight over her."

"I don't know what kind of seductive tricks she used."

"I heard that the prince wanted the emperor to grant him a marriage, but the emperor did not agree."

"Your Majesty is wise. You cannot let the Crown Prince and the Prince be deceived by a woman like Jiang Zhinian."
