The husband who forced her to marry her couldn't keep her warm, and she didn't want him to

After hearing this, the Duke, who was sitting in Miaoyin Hall, couldn't help but frown slightly.

Jiang Nansheng, who was standing beside Emperor Jianming, said slowly, "A few months ago, I took my mother and wife to eat vegetarian food at the Huguo Temple. I did meet His Majesty once at that time."

Jiang Nansheng's words were even more shocking than what the emperor had just said.

The emperor lived in Huguo Temple since he was young and was brought back to the palace shortly before the death of the late emperor.

This matter was a fact that almost all officials of the previous dynasty kept silent about, and dared not speak of it, for fear of touching the emperor's reverse scale.

Unexpectedly, it was in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion that Jiang Nansheng, the owner, said it so bluntly.

One can't help but focus his attention on Gu Jinchu.

There seems to be a sense that she is a beauty that brings disaster.

However, it was Madam Zheng, who was supported by the Minister of War Zheng Wenyang. After hearing the news, she tilted her head and looked up and down at Emperor Jianming, as if looking for a familiar shadow in him.

Zhao Yu, who was standing facing the light, turned around and looked at Madam Zheng. He smiled openly and said, "The old lady recognized him."

Gu Jinchu couldn't help but look at Jiang Nansheng, exchanged glances with him, and shook his head imperceptibly.

I don't understand what my grandmother and His Majesty are talking about.

Madam Zheng showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, as if she finally remembered, "Your Majesty is the young monk who led Jin Chu to the Huguo Temple eight years ago!"

Emperor Jianming nodded and said, "Madam, you have a good eye. I have indeed changed a lot since I was a kid."

Old Madam Zheng smiled and thought to herself: Isn't that a big change?

He has grown taller, has longer hair, and is now wearing a dragon robe! He is completely different from the skinny little monk.

"You haven't changed at all, otherwise I wouldn't have recognized that the little girl in the red cloak who was lost and crying was Madam Jiang Wu in front of me." Emperor Jianming Zhao Yu continued.

Gu Jinchu curled the corners of his lips. His Majesty was quite unexpected. You can say whatever you want, but why describe it in such detail?

Madam Zheng laughed twice, pointed at Zheng Wenyang beside her, and turned the topic to her son:

"That year, I was accompanying the soldiers to Sanjiang Fort with my family. I never expected that I would have such a connection with Your Majesty."

Emperor Jianming's eyes fell on the swaying lotus in the lake, and he said in a light tone, "Yes, time flies."

"That's exactly what happened!" Old Madam Jiang said with a smile, "It's as if everything was destined. That year, I was also at the Huguo Temple with Xiaowu."

Seeing everyone looking at him, Jiang Nansheng smiled lightly on his elegant face and said self-deprecatingly, "If I knew that the girl who gave me candy would marry me in the future, I would have behaved better."

The loyal and brave marquis was a man of unscrupulous character. He said with a smile: "How old was Madam Jiang Wu at that time? Sir Jiang really wanted to please Madam Jiang, so he dared to say anything."

Among the people near Miaoyin Hall in the center of the lake, only the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Zhou Boyan dared to tease him like this in public, and in front of Jiang Nansheng.

Jiang Nansheng smiled, and bowed to Zhou Boyan, with a smile on his face, "Please be merciful, Lord Zhou. My wife is shy, so please don't bring up this matter."

"Oh! It's rare!" Zhou Boyan waved the folding fan in his hand, nonchalantly, "It's rare to see Lord Jiang begging for mercy."

After Jiang Nansheng said this, naturally no one would continue the previous topic.

Wang was a little disappointed, as she expected to hear something.

He couldn't help but look at Gu Jinchu who was a few steps away. He felt that his fifth brother's wife's fate and fortune were really extraordinary.

Looking in her direction, she noticed that there was another person who was also looking at her fifth brother's wife in the same way.

She raised her eyes and followed the line of sight. It was the Third Master of the Chen Family.

Chen Zhengde stood in the crowd, his eyes looking at Jiang Nansheng from time to time, and then falling on Gu Jinchu, who occasionally smiled at Jiang Nansheng.

After being discovered, he saw that the person opposite him was the wife of the Crown Prince of Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

Chen Zhengde nodded slightly and smiled at Wang.

Emperor Jianming stood in Miaoyin Hall for a while and did not go deeper into the courtyard.

It seemed as if he had just noticed that the officials who were at the banquet just now were now following him not far away, and he immediately said, "It's getting late, I have to go back too."

Jiang Nanhuai supported his father and felt that it was time for him to say something. However, given his official position, he had never had a conversation with the emperor even when he attended the morning court.

I opened my mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Seeing his brother's somewhat embarrassed face, Jiang Nanli, the Second Master Jiang, stepped forward, bowed respectfully and said:

"Just now I noticed that His Majesty didn't seem to have a good appetite. Although the cooking skills of the mansion's cooks are not as good as those of the royal chef, her vegetarian hot pot is still pretty good. Why don't His Majesty stay and try it?"

Among the Duke's children, Jiang Nanli is the one who is most similar to his father in both appearance and temperament.

He said this neither humbly nor arrogantly, then raised his eyes to meet the gaze of Emperor Jianming.

Emperor Jianming thought for a moment and said, "I met with Lord Jiang alone this morning. He said he wanted to experience the harmonious atmosphere of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion. I saw them just now and they are indeed brothers in love and respect for each other. They are worthy of praise and learning."

After hearing this, the officials present looked at each other in surprise. The Jiang family had kept the news secret very well.

The Duke said, "I'm sorry for not treating you well enough." What he meant was that the Jiang family didn't know about this.

With his status, even if he did not respond, he would not deceive the emperor for the sake of face.

Jiang Nansheng bowed and said, "I dare to guess that His Majesty prefers this kind of relaxed atmosphere. That's why he didn't tell his family because he didn't want them to be too nervous."

Emperor Jianming nodded, with a gentle smile on his face, "I appreciate Minister Jiang's kindness, so let my sister stay at the Jiang family to enjoy the vegetarian hot pot instead of me."

Zhao Xuan, who was standing beside Madam Jiang, knelt down and bowed: "Thank you, my royal brother, for your kindness. I am very grateful to you."

After hearing what Zhao Xuan said, Zhao Yu stopped, turned around and looked at her and said:

"My royal sister, why did you come back to your maternal grandparents' home to celebrate my grandmother's birthday and thank me? You are making me, your royal brother, feel ashamed..."

He paused for a moment and then continued, "Then let's arrange the marriage between the imperial sister and Zheng Kaicheng on July 17th as Lord Yang mentioned, so that the imperial sister's thanks just now will not be in vain."

Zhao Xuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then bowed deeply.

The eldest princess knelt down, as it was about the marriage with the Zheng family. The old lady of the Zheng family and the younger generations of the Zheng family also knelt down and kowtowed.

Then everyone present knelt down, bowed, and respectfully sent the emperor back to the palace.

After the Duke and his wife stood up, everyone stood up and expressed their congratulations to the Jiang family and the Zheng family.

The Duke looked deeply at the direction where His Majesty left, and the wrinkles between his brows did not relax for a long time.
