The marriage between the two was finalized by the Emperor, and the specific details were left to Yan Wan to prepare.

Mao Qian was still a little nervous, because she knew that some of the guards had lovers, who might be maids in a palace. She had no intention of breaking up other people's marriages. But when she saw the emperor bring it up and Guard Jiang agreed, she felt a little relieved.

It’s okay to have no feelings, they can all be cultivated.

Mao Qian looked at Jiang Fu's face. He was neither fat nor thin, and looked just ordinary. However, the most special thing about him was that he had an inexplicable amount of energy.

Mao Qian worked in the imperial court, and sometimes she could see Jiang Fu standing guard at the gate of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity. He often stood there in high spirits.

Such a person would never be a lazy guy. Mao Qian was smart and could take care of some household chores. She was confident that as long as Guard Jiang was a down-to-earth person, their future life would not be bad.

The emperor suddenly encountered a storm, so today's hunting was suspended. The masters all went to rest to prevent the other horses from having inexplicable problems like this one and causing fear.

In this way, everyone dispersed.

But when most people had left, Jiang Fu called Mao Qian stealthily. He shyly reached into his pockets and took out a cloth bag and said, "Miss Mao Qian, I didn't know that I was going to get married today, so I didn't prepare anything."

"The emperor has decreed that we be married. This is a kind of fate. I don't know what you girls like. This cloth bag contains a little bit of my thoughts. It can be regarded as a token of love." Jiang Fu said a little awkwardly. This person is his future wife. He has never had a wife before...

Mao Qian is already twenty-five years old. She is a little older than those new palace maids and has seen more things. She will not get carried away and fall in love with Jiang Fu just because of a few words from him.

She looked up at the shy man, took the cloth bag from him, nodded, and said, "Okay, I'll take it."

Guard Jiang's family background must not be good, otherwise it would not have been her turn. Mao Qian could feel a gold ingot inside, and she thought it was saved by Jiang Fu from his monthly salary. Since he was getting married soon, it would be a good idea to keep it, so she put it in her arms.

Seeing her so generous and neat, Jiang Fu felt that he was a little pretentious and his face turned red. It was the first time he said such words to a girl, but such words had to be said. If you don't say it, how can others know whether you are sincere or not.

Jiang Fu took a deep breath and whispered, "Although our wedding is planned by Concubine Ling, I will also prepare the necessary betrothal gifts."

The more he spoke, the more embarrassed he became. He always felt that he was being too straightforward. The marriage had just been arranged and he was already talking about all this.

Bah, Jiang Fu, you are so shameless.

Are you still thinking about spending the wedding night with someone in a few days?

Jiang Fu managed to finish these words, then hurriedly ran away with his hands and feet together.

Mao Qian just smiled slightly, turned around and walked towards where she was supposed to be working, then she thought of taking out the cloth bag from her arms and taking a look at it.

Oh, that's not right. This is what Guard Jiang just took out from his arms, and she put it directly into her arms. No wonder that person was embarrassed.

Mao Qian couldn't help but blush slightly. In fact, she was also nervous, but she still had to act more capable so that others would look up to her.

She opened the cloth bag and found a small gold ingot inside.

She smiled slightly, and her heart was finally at peace. She felt that the future would not be too bad.

*In the next few days, the Mongolian concubines had a lot of fun riding horses and shooting arrows.

Yanwan often takes care of Jingxuan, so she rarely rides a horse.

On this day, the emperor and several of his favorite concubines watched the soldiers compete in riding and archery. The concubines included Yanwan, Meiruo, and Baiergas.

Seeing the soldiers like this, the Mongolian concubines begged the emperor to allow them to fight together.

Meiruo was somewhat talented, she was good at riding and shooting, and she was most unrestrained when on horseback. Concubine Ke was two years older and more stable, and was not as reckless as Meiruo. However, recklessness also had its advantages, Meiruo was more daring to shoot arrows, while Concubine Ke only shot arrows that she was sure of.

Meiruo's level is probably above average, and Ke Guiren is average. But this is already very good, being able to compete with soldiers who have just joined the camp for two or three years.

Yan Wan just sat aside, watching the two people playing with a gentle smile.

The emperor also talked to her from time to time. He had not taught Yanwan to read poetry for a long time. Today he suddenly remembered it and asked her a few questions.

Yan Wan could answer all the questions the emperor asked, and some of her answers were based on careful thought, which made the emperor very satisfied.

Yan Wan could be considered his best student. She learned etiquette well and made progress in painting. As for poetry and songs, as long as the emperor mentioned them, Yan Wan would learn them attentively.

Not to mention that she also practiced Kunqu Opera. In the past, the emperor wanted to listen to the soft Wu dialect, so Yan Wan also learned it. However, the emperor did not mention it for a long time and had forgotten about it.

When Noble Lady Ying and Noble Lady Ke finished their archery practice, they saw the Emperor chatting happily with Noble Lady Ling, who had done nothing.

Noble Lady Ke looked at the disappointment on Meiruo's face and said, "Noble Concubine Ling is really good at tricks. We are riding horses and shooting arrows here, but the emperor doesn't even look at us. She doesn't even move, but she makes the emperor very happy with her clever words."

Meiruo's face became even worse. She returned to her seat angrily and said, "We concubines are from the grassland tribe, so we like riding horses and archery, which are not things that ordinary women like. Concubine Ling can only watch us, you won't feel lonely, right?"

Concubine Ke smiled slightly, looked at the milk tea on her table, picked it up and took a sip.

Yan Wan glanced at Concubine Ying, then looked at the emperor affectionately and said, "Your Majesty is accompanying me, I am so happy that I can't wait to feel lonely."

Meiruo looked at her beautiful face and asked, "I wonder if Concubine Ling can shoot arrows while riding a horse?"

"Oh, I forgot, Your Majesty is not from the grassland, I'm afraid you can't learn these things." Meiruo covered her mouth and said, "But I also want to see if Your Majesty, who is as smart as Concubine Ling, has a talent for archery?"

Yan Wan still maintained a decent smile. She looked at the emperor with a smile and said frankly, "Your Majesty, you know that I can't shoot arrows."

The emperor also nodded and said, "It is true that Concubine Ling does not know how to shoot arrows. What is the reason why Concubine Ying asked this question?"

Meiruo pouted and said unhappily, "The Emperor really protects Concubine Ling."

The noble lady Ke at the side took the opportunity to say, "The noble concubine Ling is intelligent. We just want to appreciate the grace of the noble concubine Ling. The emperor will not disallow it, right?"
