Chapter 194 is a mess
In a blink of an eye, Jiang Ting and Liu Yao were the only ones left. Jiang Ting still didn't react. Why did the Empress Dowager marry Liu Yao and Princess Antai?
She looked at Liu Yao in a little stunned and couldn't figure it out in her heart. Although Princess Antai was a little uncomfortable with the marriage because of the previous marriage proposal of the Protector's government. But she is also the legitimate daughter of the prince, and some people want to climb dragons and attach phoenixes. Liu Yao is just a proton rejected by his father, and he can't even sit firmly in the position of the son of the world. Why did the Empress Dowager point out her granddaughter to him?
Jiang Ting looked straight at Liu Yao and wanted to ask what was going on. But when I thought of my neurotic reaction just now, I suddenly blushed and couldn't ask.
Liu Yao looked back at Jiang Ting and suddenly smiled. Then he staggered a few steps closer and whispered, "Don't worry, with your cousin here, it will definitely not be possible to get married."
Jiang Ting had a fever and shook her head in embarrassment and said, "I'm not worried about this... No, that, what's wrong with you? Why can't you walk steadily?"
Just now, she noticed that his footsteps were a little floating. At this time, he came directly with his stomach in his arms, and his footsteps staggered a little. Jiang Ting hasn't thought about it yet, so she naturally doesn't want to talk to him about the marriage in detail. So she pretended to be worried. Well, she was really worried to ask him.
Liu Yao smiled bitterly, lowered his head and rubbed his stomach, and sighed, "The prince punched me before going out."
"What did you say?" Jiang Ting frowned, looked at Liu Yao in disbelief, and asked, "The prince punched you?"
Liu Yao nodded, and the bitter smile on his face became stronger: "Well, after my cousin and Mr. Zhang came out, he came to me and gave me a heavy punch."
Jiang Ting was a little confused and couldn't figure out what was going on. The prince hit Liu Yao... The prince, who has always been gentle and friendly, actually beat people by himself? Are you kidding?
But the expression on Liu Yao's face doesn't seem to be joking at all. And Jiang Ting also understands that he will not joke about himself about this kind of thing. But the prince beat him...
"Well, did you do something... offend him? However, he is the prince, even if he punches you... Don't take it seriously. It's not good for him to find a reason to deal with you. Are you... serious? Otherwise, go to the hospital to find a doctor..." Jiang Ting was a little incoherent.
Liu Yao looked at Jiang Ting with deep eyes and suddenly said to her, "Ting'er, do you want to enter the palace?"
Jiang Ting was stunned and looked at Liu Yao and shook her head intuitively: "I don't want to."
Liu Yao seemed to be suddenly relieved, and the bitter smile on his face turned into joy. He nodded to her and said, "That's good. Then wait for me, and I will try my best to settle things quickly.
What does he want to settle quickly? Jiang Ting's heartbeat was messy, and she nodded in a daze and answered, "Hmm."
Liu Yao listened to her response and instantly forgot the pain in his stomach, leaving only full of joy. He subconsciously rushed forward two steps, but stopped again. He was still a little rational, and finally resisted not rushing to hug her to express his inner joy. He barely held up the calmness on his face, but every inch of his facial features was full of joy. Although he didn't say a word, Jiang Ting could feel the unparalleled joy from his face and his eyes.
Jiang Ting opened her mouth, but finally didn't say what she wanted to reject. Looking at him so happy just because of his simple response, she was also inexplicably happy. Although she knew that if she let him misunderstand, she might really have to marry him. But she didn't want to take this joy away from him from the bottom of her heart.
Actually, if marrying him can make him as happy as he is now, I'm afraid she is also willing to?
Jiang Ting suddenly had such an idea in her heart, and then she felt that his eyes were full of hot breath, and her face was about to burn when he saw it. She couldn't stand it with shame. She turned back to Yajian and closed his joyful and hot eyes outside the door.
After returning to Jiang's house from Yumeizhai, Jiang Ting's mind was no longer difficult to calm down. During this period, Wen asked her again how to deal with the marriage proposal of the Wang family. But she was upset and didn't have time to think about the Wang family. Now a prince, a Liu Yao, and a little father-in-law who caused trouble... She felt that her mind was like a mess and she didn't know what to do.
Therefore, when she was not very conscious, she directly asked people to go back to the Wen family and asked her to push the Wang family to propose marriage. It was not until the night that her mind was finally clear, that she suddenly found out what stupid she had done. However, she pushed it all, and she can't let Wen go to the Wang family again.
Two days later, the good news suddenly came from the northwest. It turned out that after Jiang Yong arrived at the border gate, he only left some people to guard at the border gate, and he took the main force of the army to detour into the grassland and captured an important city of the Northern Mongolians. There was a plan to besiege Wei and save Zhao, and he was caught off guard by the joint tribe.
The army of the Southern Tang Dynasty was brave, and Jiang Yong promoted a group of soldiers and generals familiar with the grassland, and finally won a great victory. The soldiers from North Mongolia rushed to the north again. After occupying that city, the northern Mongolians had to migrate another 200 miles to the north. Although Jiang Ting doesn't understand military, she also knows that her father has really made great contributions this time.
However, this time, the emperor did not intend to destroy the Northern Mongolians, but only ordered the border troops to advance the defense line north to Jiang Yong's position, but did not let them continue the Northern Expedition.
In addition, the emperor also ordered that Northern Mongolians who are willing to submit can stay on the original grassland to continue to live, but they are not allowed to enter the settlement of the Han people at will. However, once the Northern Mongolians of the Southern Tang Dynasty are submissive, they will have to register their household registration, and their descendants will give up their identity as Northern Mongolians to become Southern Tang Dynasty. For those who did not want to obey, the emperor also issued a clear order not to allow soldiers to slaughter indiscriminately and only drove them out of the customs.
Jiang Ting was deeply impressed by the emperor's two orders. In the past, I always thought that today's emperor was decisive to kill and punish criminals. Unexpectedly, he still had that kind heart. He was not only willing to save the lives of the enemy's civilians, but he didn't even order them to enslave.
Of course, the war does not end with a victory. But now that the overall situation has been decided, the people of Northern Mongolia have been exhausted, and the rest is the trivial ending. Jiang Yong is a military general. He comes to fight, but there are special officials to take over the political affairs at the border. Therefore, the emperor ordered him to return to Beijing to receive contributions after the war. In addition, he sent garrison officials to take over the government affairs.
Jiang Yong's victory indicates that the Jiang family is going to rise. Jiang Ting, who is choosing a marriage, naturally becomes bullish. Therefore, throughout the twelfth lunar month, Jiang Ting was constantly suffering and entangled in the face of many marriage-seeking posts.
