Chapter 457: Conferred County Princess
While Xu Xing was being entangled by Mu Shengyan, he was also being guarded by Zhang Zhongjing, so he was unable to enter the palace to meet the emperor, and finally had to give up.
However, his request for the emperor to grant him marriage was full of twists and turns.
The emperor told Ji Yan about his marriage proposal, originally wanting to make Ji Yan happy. After all, the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion was a first-class mansion, with military merits, the favored Consort Shu in the palace, and the young and promising and beloved Seventh Prince...
Although the Ji family has been defeated, it is still a first-class honor for the daughter of the Ji family to marry into the Duke's Mansion.
Unexpectedly, Ji Yan actually refused!
Just refuse if you want to. After all, everyone has their own aspirations, and not everyone is willing to marry into a wealthy family. Ji Yan might be worried that his granddaughter would have a hard time after marrying into the Duke's Mansion, and the Ji family is in decline and cannot support her.
However, his heartfelt remarks made the emperor feel that they made sense after repeated reflection.
When the Prince of Zhenxi wanted to form an alliance with the Duke of Weiguo, the emperor found a reason to refuse without even a second thought. He was afraid that the two palaces would join forces and force the emperor to abdicate for the sake of the Seventh Prince.
But the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion actually didn't want to have anything to do with the Prince of Zhenxi's Mansion, which made His Majesty feel a lot more at ease.
Xu Xing requested a marriage, but Ji could not provide any support. As the emperor, he was willing to make this good thing happen.
Rather...
A forced melon is not sweet. The emperor also wants to talk to Xu Xing and find another woman.
But before this could happen, the eldest princess entered the palace again.
"You said... let me grant a marriage between the prince of Weiguo and Ji Yan's granddaughter?"
What happened to Her Royal Highness the Princess, who usually doesn't mind her own business?
The emperor looked at his sister with some surprise and confusion in his eyes.
Her Royal Highness the Princess smiled and said, "To be honest with you, my brother, if Yang'er didn't dislike that girl, I would have asked you to grant them a marriage a long time ago."
Under the emperor's puzzled gaze, Her Royal Highness the Princess slowly told him how Jiang Hao cured her chronic illness with acupuncture.
He speaks little, does not take credit for himself, has a calm temperament, and is very low-key in everything he does.
The emperor was a little surprised when he heard this: "No wonder I heard from Judge Qiu that you didn't summon the imperial physician to your residence recently. It turns out that your headache has healed."
"exactly."
The princess nodded: "I didn't spread this matter around, and that girl didn't take this opportunity to get close to me, let alone spread it around. Now Yang'er insists on recognizing her as his sister, so I'll just go along with him. Plus, I like her too, so it's reasonable for me to help her find a good marriage..."
But there is one very strange thing. After Ji Yan brought the person back to the mansion, he was too low-key. Not to mention announcing it to the public, even the several rooms in the mansion did not gather together to meet him.
This information was secretly gathered by Her Royal Highness the Princess before she went to Ji Yan's house to ask Jiang Hao to go there for treatment.
To put it bluntly, he doesn't value this granddaughter.
After the princess finished her story, the emperor said, "Since you want to adopt her as your adopted daughter and marry her into the Duke of Wei's mansion, I pity her because her father died young and her mother is no longer around. She will have no one to back her up in the future and may be looked down upon. So I'll make her a county princess and grant her Jiahe."
"Your Majesty, I would like to thank you for your grace on behalf of Jiahe."
The princess was thinking about the words to bring it up, but she didn't expect...
Now, Yang'er doesn't have to worry about being bullied when she goes out.
"The imperial decree granting the marriage will be sent to the Ji residence tomorrow."
The emperor acted swiftly, as if he was afraid that something unexpected would happen if he was a little slower: "Tell that girl that I am busy with official duties, so she doesn't need to come to the palace to express her gratitude."
After a pause, he continued, "Does she only know acupuncture?"
