879 Marriage Proposal at the Banquet

The Crown Prince and his eldest grandson looked at each other. Then, the Crown Prince stood up and said to the Emperor, ” Father, I happened to find a milkvetch Flower by chance. I wish you, father, to grow younger and stronger, and for the Long Yan Kingdom to grow stronger and stronger!”

This time, the Emperor seemed to be more interested. He said, ” Oh, a milkvetch flower? ”

The Crown Prince replied, ” yes, father!” As he spoke, he had his confidant bring out the pot of milkvetch flower.

The sight of the dark green leaves and flower planted in a small flower pot made one feel comfortable.

This time, everyone was surprised for a moment.

This year’s New Year’s gifts from the princes were truly shocking and unexpected.

In the past, if it weren’t calligraphy or paintings, it would be jade pendants or something.

But today, the third Prince’s gift was a treasure. The crown prince’s gift was also a treasure.

It was just that for the Emperor at his current age, the crown prince’s gift seemed to be more in line with the emperor’s heart.

The Emperor said to the Crown Prince again, ” yes, the Crown Prince is really thoughtful!”

The third Prince’s face darkened completely.

Why was his father so biased?

It was clearly his gift that was more valuable, wasn’t it?

Why was the Crown Prince the one being praised again?

The third Prince’s heart was filled with hatred.

The target of his hatred was the Crown Prince.

He believed that the Crown Prince had stolen everything from him.

However, he had to endure it now.

The crown prince’s gifts had been delivered, and only the eldest Imperial grandson was left.

In the past, the eldest Imperial grandson’s gifts had always been considered average, so the people wondered how it would be this time.

However, the disappointing thing was that his gift this time was still average. It was neither too bad nor too good.

A handwritten Buddhist scripture!

As the Emperor grew older, he became more and more devout to Buddhism. Every 1st and 15th day of the new year, he would chant Sutras for half a day.

The gifts from the princes and grandprinces had been delivered. According to the usual process, it was time for the Emperor and his subjects to eat, drink, and have fun.

At this moment, Jiang Yunfeng suddenly stood up and said to the Emperor, ” Your Majesty, after this New Year, Nan ‘er should be twenty-five years old. The others’ children are already over ten years old, but Nan ‘er is still single. This subject is worried!” As he spoke, he revealed a worried expression.

No one had expected that Jiang Yunfeng would suddenly mention Jiang Zhennan’s marriage on New Year’s Eve.

Even though Jiang Yunfeng said that, no one thought that Jiang Yunfeng was really worried about Jiang Zhennan.

Including the Emperor.

The emperor’s eyes sharpened as he asked, ” Oh, Minister Jiang, from what you’re saying, you have a suitable candidate in mind? I wonder which beloved family’s daughter she is?”

When the Emperor said this, he glanced at Jiang Zhennan’s expression from the corner of his eye.

However, to his slight disappointment, this piece of wood was still the same as before. There was no fluctuation of emotion on his cold and stern face.

Jiang Yunfeng immediately replied, ” it’s the a.s.sistant Minister of Revenue’s eldest daughter, Zeng Yanli!”

“What?” The Emperor was stunned at first, but then he felt a sense of anger.

He had heard of Zeng Yanli’s reputation even though he was in the palace.

Zeng Yanli was Fat and chubby. Nevertheless, beauty was skin deep.

However, this woman’s heart was not beautiful at all. She had a bad temper, was arrogant and domineering, and would kill servants at any time.

When she met the n.o.ble ladies in the capital, as long as their status was lower than hers, she would find an excuse to teach them a lesson. She would make those officials whose positions were lower than the a.s.sistant Minister of Revenue swallow their anger when they saw their children being bullied.

After all, in their eyes, this was just a small fight between children. As adults, they couldn’t really step in and teach Zeng Yanli a lesson.

As such, none of the n.o.ble families dared to marry Zeng Yanli. Only the small families that fawned over the a.s.sistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue would allow their sons to marry this Shrew.

However, what was even weirder and more shocking was that Zeng Yanli had been married five times, two of which were engagements. One of her fiancés fell to his death from a horse during the wedding, while the other was scared to death when he heard that he was going to marry a Shrew.

Her other three husbands died after the marriage. One of the husbands drowned when he pa.s.sed by a pond; The other one couldn’t stand this Shrew and hung himself. The last one was even more ridiculous. He died in a brothel.

After the death of her last husband, Zeng Yanli felt so embarra.s.sed that she simply wrapped up her bag and returned to her Maiden Home.

However, her temperament did not change at all.

The a.s.sistant Minister of Revenue was so angry that he wanted to send this evil daughter to a nunnery several times.

However, his wife loved her daughter so much that she would attempt suicide every so often to threaten her husband. She did not allow the a.s.sistant Minister of Revenue to do anything to Zeng Yanli.

After the deaths of so many husbands, people were scared. Therefore, even if they wanted to curry favor with the vice minister, they wouldn’t sacrifice their sons and grandchildren.

Zeng Yanli also refused to marry anyone that was not of n.o.ble birth. All day long, she would make a fuss about committing suicide and not getting married.

As a result, Zeng Yanli stayed with her parents for several years and never talked about her marriage again.

Now, Jiang Yunfeng suddenly proposed such a marriage. Hehe, what a joke.

Jiang Zhennan was the defender-general of the state. Even if he was a jinx, he was more than qualified to be matched with the daughter of any n.o.ble.

The Emperor asked, ” Minister Jiang, I’ve heard that Zeng Yan has a bad reputation and is a woman who brings bad luck to her husband. How could you let her be betrothed to my defender-general of the state?”

Hearing this tone, the Emperor was displeased.

However, Jiang Yunfeng and his wife were so focused on matchmaking this marriage that they did not notice the emperor’s tone.
