Chapter 733: Chapter 733: The Legitimate Daughter at the Heart’s Tip
Jiang Yi laughed: “If I had known that the emperor’s eldest grandson was coming as well, I would have prepared more.”
“What Third Brother prepared is already enough.”
“Where are the two little ones?” Lin Zizi looked around.
“They’re playing in my courtyard, Seventh Sister, don’t worry, your sister-in-law is watching over them.” Jiang Yi answered.
Jiang Yi’s wife, Lu Xue, was the legitimate daughter of the Lu family, a prestigious scholarly family. Lu Xue was noble and intelligent, and she and Jiang Yi were indeed a perfect couple, even in love.
Jiang Ning smiled: “With Third Sister-in-Law here, I have nothing to worry about.”
“You still have to be careful.” Lin Zizi laughed, “Your Third Sister-in-Law is pregnant.”
“Really?” Jiang Ning was surprised, “how many months?”
“Just over two months, not yet three months, so it’s not yet known outside.” Lin Zizi glanced at the two aunts, “You should not casually mention it.”
“Yes, I will remember.”
When Jiang Ruobai and Jiang Yi arrived, their two aunts could only stand aside.
Jiang Ning quickly sent Huang Ying over to avoid the children being too naughty and disturbing Third Sister-in-Law.
Jiang Yi felt his mother was making a fuss about nothing, saying Lu Xue was not that delicate.
His reaction was immediately scolded by a room full of women, and in the end, he had to sheepishly go back himself and take over the “child-watching” duty from his wife.
Aunt Bai couldn’t wait to ask Jiang Ruobai: “Old Master, is it true that the emperor wants to arrange a marriage for our Sixth Daughter?”
“The emperor’s words are golden, how could they be false?”
Apparently, Jiang Ruobai had already learned about this from the Crown Prince.
Lin Zizi asked: “Do you think this marriage can be done?”
“From the Jiang Family’s perspective, there’s nothing that can’t be done.” Jiang Ruobai smiled, habitually looking at his youngest daughter, “Seventh Sister, what do you think?”
He didn’t ask his second daughter, who was to be married off, for her opinion first, but instead asked Jiang Ning’s.
Was it because Jiang Ning was his biological daughter and he loved her most?
Of course, it was not only that.
It was also because of her current identity – Princess Consort.
Jiang Ning glanced apologetically at her Sixth Sister, pondered for a moment, and said: “For the Jiang Family, this marriage has its pros and cons. It depends on what Father thinks. But I still hold my own opinion that the most important thing in a marriage is whether the two parties are truly satisfied with each other.”
Reminded by Jiang Ning, Jiang Ruobai finally remembered that he should ask the parties involved in this marriage.
He then looked at his second daughter: “Little Sixth, you’ve met Prince of Zhao too, what do you think?”
Jiang Yan, who was always accustomed to hiding, was being stared at by everyone, feeling uneasy and confused, clutching her clothes awkwardly, and stammering: “Daughter, daughter is leaving the decision to Father.”
Jiang Ruobai showed a “I knew it” expression.
Jiang Ning shook her head slightly and said: “Sixth Sister, you still have half a day to think about it.”
Once she returned to the palace, the matter would be settled.
Jiang Yan lowered her head and did not speak.
…
In the evening, Li Hongyuan brought Li Tingqian.
Jiang Yi brought out two large boxes of fireworks, Lingzi and Wenzan wrapped themselves into small round balls and ran and jumped in the snow, overjoyed.
Li Tingqian was, after all, several years older than them, appearing much calmer, but his eyes still couldn’t hide his excitement.
Jiang Yi, holding the fire starter, lit the fireworks himself.
Boom——
A huge flame burst into the sky.
It was dazzlingly colorful.
Jiang Ning tightened her cloak, standing under the eaves, looking up, and heard a soft sigh from behind.
Unbeknownst to her, Li Hongyuan had come to stand behind her.
