Chapter 212 Jiang Yi, you are not dead?
The four emperors spoke one after another. In addition to their dissatisfaction with the Mu Kingdom, the meaning revealed in their words was also very obvious.
Take Princess Nanyang back to recognize her ancestors.
The ministers of both sides quickly checked the letter and confirmed that it was correct, and then led people into the imperial city.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites and the assistant ministers were silent all the way, with extremely complicated expressions.
They had never expected that what they thought was just a simple visit from a neighboring country would actually involve a long-forgotten secret.
Is this too complicated?
The orphan girl of the Jiang family who everyone looks up to is actually the princess of the Jin Kingdom?
If so, when Jiang Yi left the Mu Kingdom, why didn't he take his daughter away, but let her suffer so much injustice for the Jiang family?
Yan Li is already fourteen years old.
In these fourteen years, has the Queen of Jin never thought of returning to Mu to see her daughter?
With different thoughts in mind, the Imperial Guards led the envoys to the palace unimpeded.
From a distance, the bright yellow canopy was seen, and the emperor led the military officials to welcome him in person.
The carriage slowly passed the moat bridge and arrived outside the palace gate.
Jiang Yi turned over and got on the horse.
Emperor Zhaocheng came to meet him quickly, looking at Jiang Yi, with a gentle smile on his face, and suppressed emotions in his eyes.
Before the age of fifteen, Jiang Yi was a smart and bright girl. After the age of fifteen, Jiang Yi was noble and beautiful, but she lost the dignified and stunning royal demeanor.
"Ayi." Emperor Zhaocheng's tone was a little more stable, with a hint of sighing, "I've seen you for more than a dozen times, and you are more beautiful and noble than before."
It can be seen that Jin State has not suffered any grievances.
"Your Majesty, how are you?" Jiang Yi calmly performed a half-salute and went straight to the point, "I heard that the Ninth Prince Yanli is getting married today."
The old lady Jiang, who was standing at the front of the military officials, was shocked and unbelievable, staring at Jiang Yi.
This is their daughter.
The daughter who died in childbirth fourteen years ago, Jiang Yi?
How could she... How could she...
Emperor Zhaocheng was silent for a moment, then nodded awkwardly: "Yes."
"I still remember our agreement." Jiang Yi looked at Emperor Zhaocheng without any reservation, his eyebrows and eyes were cold and oppressive, "The emperor promised to let Yan Li be the queen. Even if she wants to marry, she should marry the candidate for the crown prince that the emperor has determined in his heart. When the new emperor ascends the throne, Yan Li will be the mother of the emperor."
Emperor Zhaocheng explained: "As Ayi knows, I did originally arrange for Yan Li to be married to the crown prince, but-"
"The emperor suddenly arranged for Yan Li to be married to Mu Cang, is he going to make Mu Cang the first emperor?"
As soon as these words came out, the air suddenly became quiet.
"Empress Jiang!" Prime Minister Gu's face suddenly changed, and he interrupted her in a deep voice, "This is about the crown prince of Mu State, please be careful with your words."
Jiang Yi tilted his head and looked at him coldly: "I am talking to the emperor, do you have room to interrupt?"
Prime Minister Gu's expression froze.
The other ministers were also surprised, looking at the prepared queen of Jin State in disbelief.
"Your Majesty." Jiang Yi retracted his gaze, stared at Emperor Zhaocheng for a moment, and repeated seriously, "Are you planning to let Mu Cang be the emperor for another term?"
Emperor Zhaocheng shook his head slowly: "I don't have this idea."
"Since you don't have this idea, why do you violate our agreement?"
Emperor Zhaocheng was silent for a moment: "If I say this is Yan Li's intention, do you believe it?"
Jiang Yi believed it, but did not accept this reason: "She is just an ignorant Little girl, the emperor should follow her nature. "
"I think Mu Cang is more suitable for her." Emperor Zhaocheng argued, "The palace is full of intrigues and deceptions, and it is a good destination."
After a pause, "Just like you were willing to enter the palace fifteen years ago."
As soon as this sentence came out, Master Jiang and Old Lady Jiang concluded that the woman in front of them was indeed their daughter - Jiang Yi, who had ruined the reputation of the Jiang family and died in childbirth.
How could she...she become the queen of Jin?
Jiang Yi said calmly, "I am the same as Yan Li."
Emperor Zhaocheng nodded, "I know."
"Please issue an order immediately to cancel the wedding of Mu Cang and Yan Li."
"Isn't this too good?" Emperor Zhaocheng coughed lightly, trying to change her attitude, "The wedding has already begun, and the imperial eunuchs have calculated that today is an auspicious day. If the wedding is cancelled, it will be auspicious for the newlyweds."
Jiang Yi said firmly, "It must be cancelled."
"Jiang Yi!" Old Madam Jiang held back, walked over step by step, staring at Jiang Yi's face, "Are you not dead?"
Jiang Yi turned his eyes slightly and looked at the old lady, who was also his biological mother.
"I'm not dead." She smiled with a hint of irony, "Is mother very disappointed?"
Madam Jiang was shocked and angry when she heard this: "What nonsense are you talking about? Since you are not dead, where are these things? How can you be so rude in front of the emperor? And you want to apologize to the emperor?"
"This old lady is so arrogant." Yan Yun looked at Madam Jiang with joy, "My mother is now the regent queen of Jin State, representing the royal family of Jin State. This time she came to Mu State as a guest, so it's better for the old lady to be careful when she speaks."
She is actually the queen of Jin State.
Madam Jiang finally understood the purpose of the emperor summoning her into the palace, and stared at Jiang Yi in disbelief: "Are you dead? How can you become the queen of Jin State?"
Jiang Yi had a cold smile on his lips: "Mother is still the same as fifteen years ago."
Madam Jiang's face turned cold. Just as she was about to speak, Emperor Zhaocheng said, "The palace has prepared a banquet. Let's go in and sit down to talk."
"Before entering the palace, please ask the emperor to immediately issue an order to cancel the marriage between Mu Cang and Yan Li." Jiang Yi was firm in his attitude.
"Nonsense." Master Jiang finally spoke in a deep voice, "The marriage of the Ninth Prince and Yan Li was decided long ago, and the Imperial Eunuch has already calculated the date. After the wedding today, they are legitimate husband and wife, how can it be cancelled just like that?"
"Why can it be cancelled?" The Fourth Emperor Yan Jin smiled warmly, making people feel like spring breeze, but there was a bit of toughness in his tone, "Yan Li is my Jin Princess, we can let her marry whoever we want, and her marriage should be decided by the Emperor of Mu."
"Fourth brother is right." The Sixth Emperor Yan Yun nodded, "Yan Li is a Jin Princess, and her mother is her closest relative, and no one else has the right to decide her marriage."
Princess of Jin?
Old Lady Jiang quickly turned her head and looked at Master Jiang, and the couple seemed to have suddenly reacted until this moment.
The person who Jiang Yi secretly married fifteen years ago...could it be the Emperor of Jin?
Yes, yes.
If she was the emperor of Jin, why would she have to get married to him secretly? If she was dating him openly, would they still object as long as the emperor was willing?
Is an open marriage better than a secret one?
"Ayi." Emperor Zhaocheng sighed and looked at Jiang Yi with embarrassment, "I really made the decision on my own about this marriage. It was Yan Li who wanted to marry the Ninth Prince."
Jiang Yi frowned: "Why?"
Emperor Zhaocheng said: "It's a long story..."
"Let's make it short." Jiang Yi interrupted him, "Because Tai was treacherous and looked down on Yan Li, he found a reason to cancel the engagement and threw a basin of dirty water on Yan Li?"
