The daughter of the mansion is slapped in the face every day
Chapter 98 Marriage Grant
Jiang Yunxi thought to herself, "Zhao Zhexuan, you've been scheming against me, and I've kept every one of them in my mind. Just wait, I won't let you off easily."
"Your Highness, you know my whereabouts very well, don't you?" Jiang Yunxi stared into Zhao Zhexuan's eyes and asked him openly, "How did Your Highness know that they didn't come back with me?"
Jiang Yunxi was deliberately reminding Zhao Changta to let him know that his son was reaching too far.
Zhao Changta's eyes swept over Zhao Zhexuan.
Zhao Zhexuan's heart trembled slightly and he immediately fell silent.
Zhao Changta has always been suspicious. Jiang Yunxi thought that she had been biased towards Zhao Zheyong just now. If she hadn't explained it clearly today, Zhao Changta would have thought that she was in the same faction as Zhao Zheyong.
Jiang Yunxi had just opened her mouth when Mu Kang spoke first, "Someone anonymously reported the Daizhou incident to the Censorate. The Censorate was unable to find out who sent the anonymous letter. I'm afraid the eldest prince is more powerful than all the censors in the Censorate combined, and he actually knows things that we don't know."
Mu Kang sarcastically mocked him, adding fuel to the fire.
Zhao Zhexuan would certainly not admit the crime of forming a clique for personal gain. He immediately knelt down and said to Zhao Changta, "Father, I am innocent. I am only doing my duty and raising my doubts. Speaking of which, the princess and my third brother were married before, and they are in the same group. Father, please do not listen to their unreasonable accusations!"
Mu Kang did not give in at all. "If you say that this marriage is good for the princess, it is really ridiculous. After the Third Prince proposed the marriage, the princess was reluctant to agree. Concubine Jiang also made the princess lose face. If you say that the princess can help with all her might regardless of past grudges, I really think the princess is the reincarnation of a bodhisattva. The princess has never been to Daizhou, and she has nothing to do with the Third Prince. I don't understand why you have to drag the princess into this matter?"
He looked up and glared at Zhao Zhexuan.
Zhao Zhexuan knew that Jiang Yunxi had nothing to do with the matter, but he wanted Jiang Yunxi to use the anger from being humiliated by the third prince to testify against Zhao Zheyong.
Now, Zhao Zhexuan naturally couldn't find a reason to drag Jiang Yunxi into this matter.
He had no choice but to give up.
"Your Majesty, speaking of this, I feel that there is something quite strange, that is, the Third Prince's request to marry the princess. The Third Prince clearly had an affair with Concubine Jiang, but he still wanted to marry the princess. It is really unbelievable. I have found out that the Third Prince had arranged for Concubine Jiang to go to Juzhou and steal the prescription for curing the epidemic from the princess. Concubine Jiang stole the princess's prescription and lied to her, saying that the trial of the medicine had no results, and secretly gave the prescription to the Third Prince. The Third Prince was worried that the princess would tell the truth, so he wanted to cover up the matter with marriage and shut the princess up."
Mu Kang sighed, "What a deep plan, I admire you."
There is a lot of irony in this last sentence.
Mu Kang went to great lengths to make up this story just to clear the relationship between Jiang Yunxi and Zhao Zheyong.
Jiang Yunxi didn't expect Mu Kang to make the story so perfect. She knew that Mu Kang must have found corresponding evidence to support his statement. For a moment, she felt that something was wrong.
"Father, I didn't. Wanwan did bring the prescription, but I didn't ask her to steal it. She stole it on her own initiative. It has nothing to do with me. As for the marriage, it was the princess who wanted to marry me, not me who wanted to marry her." Zhao Zheyong immediately began to defend himself.
Jiang Yunxi was worried that Zhao Changta was suspicious of Jiang Xueyi, thinking that Jiang Xueyi still wanted Jiang Yunxi to be the queen, and wanted to talk back.
Mu Kang took the lead and refuted Zhao Zheyong, "Why would the princess want to marry you? The princess and I know each other well, and the Queen Mother also wanted to marry me, but Concubine Jiang got there first and got engaged to me. Later, Concubine Jiang had an affair with the Third Prince as she wished, and kicked me out."
"The Queen Mother was afraid of what others would say about the princess, so she didn't dare to arrange a marriage between me and the princess. She was afraid that others would laugh at the princess picking up things that Concubine Jiang didn't want." Mu Kang kowtowed to Zhao Changta, "Now that the matter has been made clear, I beg Your Majesty to grant me and the princess a marriage."
Jiang Yunxi looked at Mu Kang who was kneeling on the ground with some surprise in her eyes.
This explanation was so perfect that Jiang Yunxi actually believed that it was not made up on the spur of the moment, but was a set of explanations that had been prepared long ago.
There were too many variables in this situation, and Jiang Yunxi was at a loss for words for a moment. She suddenly felt like she was being plotted against, but this plot, in the final analysis, was taking advantage of her plot.
The layers upon layers left no room for error, like a big net that trapped her, forcing her to accept the marriage.
Otherwise it would confirm what Zhao Zheyong said.
"Yunxi, what do you think?" Zhao Changta looked at Mu Kang, asking for Jiang Yunxi's opinion.
Jiang Yunxi bowed his head, without any joy on his face. "This matter is decided by the elders. Yunxi's parents have passed away. I beg Your Majesty to discuss and decide with Grandmother."
Jiang Xueyi happened to enter the hall at this time. She heard the noise inside and roughly guessed what had happened.
Looking at Jiang Yunxi and Mu Kang kneeling below, Jiang Xueyi's eyes were filled with satisfaction. She smiled and said to Zhao Changta, "Your Majesty, these two children are in love. I have always wanted to arrange a marriage for them."
"But Concubine Jiang rejected the Mu family's marriage proposal first. I was always worried that others would say Yun Xi picked up someone Concubine Jiang didn't want. I was also worried that the Mu family would be upset about Concubine Jiang's rejection of the marriage proposal and would secretly treat Yun Xi badly, so I kept dragging my feet and not agreeing to the marriage."
"Since the two children are in love today, let's grant this marriage." Jiang Xueyi has always felt that according to Jiang Yunxi's age, even if they haven't married yet, they should have been engaged.
If she delays any longer, when all the men of marriageable age in the capital are married, Jiang Yunxi will truly become a laughing stock in the capital.
Zhao Changta sat back in his seat and nodded, "Mother, you raised Yunxi single-handedly. Just come and arrange the marriage, I will not interfere."
Jiang Xueyi decisively arranged the marriage for Jiang Yunxi.
"Princess, don't you want to thank God for his grace?" Zhao Zhexuan reminded.
Jiang Yunxi's gaze fell on Jiang Xueyi, who smiled and nodded at her.
Jiang Yunxi felt a complicated feeling in her heart, but she still kowtowed slowly and said in a solemn tone, "Yunxi thanks the Queen Mother and His Majesty for granting us marriage."
The sound of heavy kowtows rang in her ears.
It seemed to foreshadow her fate.
Everyone in the hall had a happy look on their face.
Jiang Xueyi thought that Jiang Yunxi had finally found a caring partner, Zhao Changta thought that the Jiang family had finally distanced itself from the fight for the throne, Zhao Zhexuan no longer had to worry about the Queen Mother supporting Zhao Zheyong to take the throne, and Mu Kang acted according to his own wishes and got what he wanted.
The only exception is Jiang Yunxi.
