He felt He Yuan's petal-like lips tremble in his palm. His palm instantly became soft and moist, and his arm stiffened. He immediately let go of He Yuan's mouth and whispered into his ear, "Lie still! I'll go out and take a look!" With that, she jumped down the ground like a cat and left the room in a flash.
He Yuan couldn't hear it clearly at all. He only felt that his breath, mixed with the fragrance of the wine, was warm on his eardrum. He then passed his eardrum over his neck, and the chicken grains on his back instantly rose up, not daring to move for a moment. When he came back to his senses, he heard several voices shouting outside the window, "Boss, it's us! Don't fight!" It was the voice of Jiang Hua Hong and Jiang Hua Gai.
"It's the middle of the night. You guys ran under my window, shouldn't you fight like this?" Jiang Hua An's voice wasn't loud, but it was still filled with his usual dignity.
"Boss, we're just passing by. We're just passing by, we're leaving immediately!" Jiang Hua Hong led his three generals to flee while hugging their heads.
Hearing the door creak, He Yuan walked into the room, closed the door, and poured himself a cup of tea in the dark. He then closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Jiang Hua An poured two cups of tea and went to bed. He saw He Yuan's tiny body huddled in the corner of the bed. He gazed at it for a while before falling asleep.
Hearing what He Yuan said, Jiang Huashan, who was sitting beside him, breathed deeply. He had fallen asleep, but he was no longer sleepy. He lay there thinking: "I wonder if dad and mom ever miss me?" If he were to marry himself, would his brother and elder brother not get used to it? He rolled around a bit more, but soon got up in a hurry and quietly sat down. His eyes adjusted to the darkness and saw that Jiang Huashan was facing outwards, his strong long legs bent a little, but his feet were pressed against the edge of the bed. The bed was about half the height of him, and he was about to jump out of it. It seemed dangerous, and he hesitated for a moment as to how he was going to get out. After a while, seeing that no one had moved, he steeled his heart and slowly crawled out of the bed. He first stretched out his right leg to cross the bend of Jiang Hua An's leg, and his right hand also reached out to support his leg on the edge of the bed. Just as he was about to pull his left leg over to the bed, he saw Jiang Hua An's legs move. He Yuan jumped in fright. His left leg tripped on the crook of Jiang Huashan's foot, and with a "bam", he fell flat on top of Jiang Huashan. His head was pressed against Jiang Huashan's midsection.
'This is bad, this is too embarrassing. He wouldn't think that I climbed up to molest him right? ' But then again, his thighs were truly elastic, and his waist seemed to be a little too sturdy. He was truly worthy of being a martial artist. As He Yuan's thoughts raced, he let out a scream. Before she could make a sound, a strong arm lifted her up and asked, "What's the matter?"
"I don't want to get out of bed on purpose." He Yuan hurriedly tried to argue and was about to get up when Jiang Huanan lifted him with his hands and dragged him down onto his lap. He grabbed onto the lapels of Jiang Huanan's clothes with both hands, revealing his firm and sexy chest.
As a result, He Yuan sat on Jiang Hua An's body in an unsuitable posture, his hand gripping the front of Jiang Hua An's shirt tightly. It was as if he was an impatient female wolf that had just torn apart Jiang Hua An's clothes. Oh, I didn't do it on purpose! He Yuan screamed in his heart, but his body was petrified. He was still in an awkward position, when he heard Jiang Hua An say gently, "You're still young, so you shouldn't be like this."
What and what? What happened to you? He Yuan recovered from his petrified state. His face flushed red, he opened his mouth to argue, but then realized that Jiang Huashan had not let go of her waist. He seemed to be holding back a smile.
It was the beginning of July and the heat was unbearable. Their clothes were thin, making a ruckus, but they were sweating. He felt her soft little butt was sitting on his lap and he could smell a nice scent coming from her. Suddenly, he coughed and reached out to carry He Yuan to the ground, saying, "The toilet is behind the screen!"
He Yuan kept silent and looked down to find his shoes. After he was done, he used the light coming from the crack of the door to reach behind the screen.
Jiang Huashan had good hearing, and the intermittent sounds behind the screen kept hitting his eardrums. His heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he muttered to himself, "I have to wait a few more years!" As soon as the words left his mouth, he stretched out his hand to cover the front of his shirt and pulled the blanket over his waist. Then, he turned around and went to sleep.
He Yuan came back from undoing his hands and saw that Jiang Huashan wasn't moving at all. This time, he couldn't believe that Jiang Huashan was fast asleep. He climbed onto the bed's edge and climbed over him to lie down next to him.
Compared to Jiang Hua An's silence, Jiang Hua Kuan was much more noisy. Because Chen Zhu had taken a sip of wine, his body was covered in another red lump. He had spent the entire night searching for prickly heat powder, and had also drunk a lot of tea to quench his thirst.
Seeing that Chen Zhu was sitting on the bed, Jiang Hua Kuan could not help but itch. He reached out to grab her back and hurriedly held her hand, not letting her scratch him.
"I can't help it!" Chen Zhu immediately reprimanded Jiang Huagang, "It's all your fault, it's all your fault. You insisted on letting me drink your wine, didn't you know that I would get a red bar from drinking wine?"
"Ugh!" Jiang Huagang was so baffled by the accusation that he had no choice but to extend his other hand to stroke Chen Zhu's back, making her feel less itchy. He comforted her, "Just endure for a while longer."
"Much more comfortable!" Feeling Jiang Hua Kuan's hand on her back, Chen Zhu felt better and commanded, "Harder! Harder!"
Jiang Hua Kuan remained silent and could only heavily stroke her back. Not long later, Chen Zhu's thin clothes started to wrinkle. Just as he was about to stop, he heard a sound from outside. It sounded like someone was laughing uncontrollably. Suddenly, he shouted, "Who is outside?" As he said this, he jumped off the ground, pushed open the door, and rushed out.
"Second brother, please help second sister-in-law. We won't disturb you any longer!" Jiang Hua Hong led the other three generals and ran far away while teasing them.
Hearing the words of Jiang Hua Hong and the rest, Chen Zhu's face turned red, and she felt even more itchy than before. Jumping off the ground, she went to get some prickly heat powder and sprinkled it down her neck.
When Jiang Hua Kuan came in, he saw Chen Zhu reach out to touch her neck, and suddenly went over and pressed her hand: "I'll sprinkle a little more prickly heat powder on your back, it should be enough."
"I told Little He to come in and spill some water for me!" Chen Zhu's face was flushed red as she whispered, "You just need to hide behind the screen."
"That little He girl of yours, ah, just now she was dozing off outside the doorstep and had already let her go to sleep." Jiang Hua Kuan shook his head and said, "I was too busy to touch the ground. Other than the guards, I'm afraid they've all gone to sleep. It's better not to disturb them." As she spoke, she saw Chen Zhu in front of her, reaching only her chest height. She simply pulled Chen Zhu's collar back, sprinkled some prickly heat powder on it, reached into her collar, and placed her hands on her back.
Chen Zhu only felt a chill on his back, and then a burning hot palm touched his back. Instantly, his whole body was covered with tiny chicken grains, and his ears were completely red, but he did not dare move.
"Yes!" Jiang Hua's wide hands circled Chen Zhu's back as he muttered to himself, 'As expected, girls are soft and slippery. Even their backs are as tender as tofu, what the hell!' He quickly withdrew his hand and said to the screen in a flash, "I want to wash my hands!"
Behind the screen, there was a copper basin. In the copper basin, there was clear water for washing his hands. Jiang Huagang stood in front of the copper basin. His hands felt soft and his heart was a little messy. He did not put his hands into the water for a long time.
Chen Zhu was also in a daze. After a while, Jiang Hua Kuan came back to his senses. He hurriedly got onto the bed and curled up on it to pretend to be asleep. But his heart was thumping loudly.
Old Madame Jiang was so excited that she couldn't fall asleep today. After praising He Yuan and Chen Zhu, she slapped her thigh and said, "Although the two young sisters are young, they seem to be high class and will live a long life in the future. It is the blessing of the heavens that they were able to marry two wives in one go."
Shang Jie was also extremely excited today. Although she was tired, she forced herself to keep Old Lady Jiang company as she looked out.
After Jiang Zhen sent off the last batch of guests, he turned around and said to old lady Jiang: "It's certainly a good thing that I married two wives today. However, this grudge between the young prince of Beicheng has been formed. Now, he could only hope that the Grand Princess would be able to deal with him well in the palace, which would be able to dispel some of the Little Prince's resentment. Otherwise, it will affect the relationship between the two countries for many years. " As they were talking, the steward came in to report that someone from the Grand Princess's estate had arrived. He hurriedly said, "Quickly, invite them in!"
After the people from the Grand Princess's estate left, Jiang Zhen let out a sigh and said, "I didn't think that Tang Zhi Li would dare to ask to marry the little princess. The empress was actually willing to give the little princess to him. Tang Zhili wanted the little princess to have all the face he could get. In this way, the state relationship between the North and the South will not only remain unscathed, but it will also be strengthened. "
Hearing that, Shang Jie's worries were relieved. She smiled and said, "We let Tang Zhi Li off. He's just the Third Prince, but he's already the precious daughter of our Emperor. However, would the emperor blame the Residence of General and the Residence of He? If it wasn't for us quickly marrying Miss Yuan into the imperial palace, the emperor wouldn't need to compensate the little princess. "
Jiang Zhen paced around and pondered for a while before saying, "As the empress of the emperor, how can you just care about personal affairs? If he really wanted to solidify the relationship between the north and south, then he would have to have royal blood in order to show his sincerity. Furthermore, Tang Zhi Li's request to marry Sister Yuan was most likely just an attack from the east. If he came and asked to marry the little princess, it would be hard for him to do so. He couldn't ask to marry Miss Yuan, but the emperor had no choice but to give him the princess. "This time, I'm afraid it's Zhou Kuangzheng's plan."
Shang Jie's mouth dropped open when she heard that. "Hey, I said that Zhou Kuangzheng and Tang Zhi Li heard that we were all at the He household asking for marriage, why didn't they go to the palace to see the emperor and have him issue orders? "So you've already calculated everything. Knowing that the He Estate wouldn't bear to have their daughter marry into the distant, you'll definitely find an excuse to reject them. Take advantage of the He Estate's rejection and pretend to be furious and enter the palace …"
"You finally understand!" Jiang Zhen nodded his head and said, "You were afraid that Hua An and Hua Kuan wouldn't marry, so you took advantage of Tang to ask for marriage. Sister Yuan and Sister Zhu are in danger of getting married far away, so you took advantage of the chaos to coax Hua An and Hua Kuan to marry their wives. And Tang Zhi Li, taking advantage of the fact that your family was in the He mansion, suddenly rushed to the door and refused the marriage. Then, the two left while Old Madam He was in the middle of rejecting the marriage and took the opportunity to marry the Little Princess. At this time, the emperor naturally wouldn't reject Tang Zhi Li. "That's a good move indeed."
Old Madame Jiang interjected, "Since our Nanchang has promised the little princess to their little prince, then we should send someone to the kingdom to ask for her hand in marriage. Changing from one to the other was only fair. Before their little princess gets married, our little princess will also drag things on and not marry them. "
"The older the wiser!" Jiang Zhen and Shang Jie spoke in unison, making Old Lady Jiang laugh.
"Alright, it's getting late. Quickly rest!" Old Madame Jiang looked at her son and daughter-in-law with a smile. "It's so easy for you two to be in-laws. You still need to drink your wife's tea tomorrow. Don't get up too late."
Early the next morning, while He Yuan was still in a daze, he heard someone knocking on the door outside. It seemed to be saying that an imperial edict had arrived, asking the young general and the Eldest Young Mistress to come out and receive it. Jiang Hua An also woke up and called for someone to bring water for him to wash up. With dark eyes, the almond came in to help comb He Yuan's hair and clothes. As she did so, she whispered, "Miss, are you alright?"
He Yuan shook his head. Cough, I'm only eleven years old. After dressing up, they saw that Jiang Hua An had come out from behind the screen. He had already put on a new set of clothes, and the two of them left the bridal chamber together.
He Yuan came in with his head covered by a veil yesterday and didn't see anything clearly. When he came out of his new room, he saw that red lanterns were hung all over the veranda on both sides of the yard. He nodded to himself; no wonder the candles in his new room were extinguished last night, as well as the light from the lanterns.
Old Madame Jiang and the others had already dressed as per the order, and were ready to receive it. Jiang Hua An and He Yuan came out, and Jiang Hua Kuan and Chen Zhu also came out. They all let out a sigh of relief.
When all the servants had arrived, they began to read the imperial edict. The imperial edict was extremely tantalizing. It took a long time for him to speak. Actually, the meaning behind his words was that the Jiang family was very loyal. The young general Jiang Hua An was currently marrying He Shi's daughter, and hearing that He Shi's woman was sentimental and virtuous, he was bestowed the title of 'second rank wife'.
After the imperial edict was read out, the emperor's reward came down. Everyone hurriedly expressed their gratitude. After sending off the attendants, the crowd congratulated He Yuan on getting the title and then rushed to call him 'Young Madam'. While they were laughing and joking, the wife had already prepared tea for the newlyweds.
After drinking tea from He Yuan and Chen Zhu and giving them the red packets, Old Lady Jiang smiled and comforted them with a few words, then told them about the Emperor's promise to marry the Little Princess and reassured them that there was no need to worry about this matter anymore.
He had actually not fallen asleep last night, but had thought about Tang Zhi Li's proposal once more. When he heard Jiang Zhen said that Tang Zhi Li had asked for the emperor's hand in betrothing the little princess to him last night, he suddenly came to a realization: "I only want to find out if Northern Cheng Kingdom's embroidery ladies are thirsty, but I don't need to be thirsty to this extent. For a prince of a country to actually come to the Residence of He and ask for marriage with the envoy, this is very strange. So it turns out that they are just scheming against each other. "
He Yuan was initially worried that this matter wouldn't end well. When he heard that Tang Zhili actually wanted to marry the Little Princess, he used a roundabout way and couldn't help but loosen his breath.
"The emperor ordered the attendants to come early in the morning to reward us with gifts and bestowed the title of elder sister Yuan. This is also the heart of the general's estate." Shang Jie smiled at He Yuan and said, "You are the eldest daughter-in-law. You can just follow us into the palace to thank us."
He Yuan quickly complied and went into the room to change.
