Chapter 211 The Drunken King

Kneel down in the hall and listened to the prince's very young voice read the imperial edict loudly. Jiang Yong's mind flashed, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help hooking up. Although he hasn't figured out why the emperor appointed Jiang Ting as the county head. But now at least one thing can be certain, that is, they don't have to worry about the royal family and let Ting'er be the prince's side concubine.

Although this Derong County owner is only an empty name, it is not as good as those royal noble daughters with feudal lands. But even if it is just an empty name, it represents a different identity. If Jiang Ting is only the eldest daughter of Yipinhou Mansion, it is still possible to be accused of being the crown prince's side concubine. But now that she has been appointed as the county head, this possibility is completely gone. Because in any case, the identity of the crown princess should not exceed that of the crown princess.

After thinking about this layer, Jiang Yong's originally panic calmed down. No matter what the emperor thinks, it is a good thing that the Jiang family can avoid the royal struggle.

After the reward, it is almost dusk, and it is time for a celebration banquet. The celebration banquet was held in the imperial garden. There were maids coming to report for a long time, and everything was almost ready. So the emperor waved his hand and personally led the civil and military officials to the imperial garden.

Now is the heyday of spring, and it is a good time for flowers to bloom. The grass and trees in the imperial garden are flourishing, and the flowers are clustered, shining in the afterglow of the sunset, and there is a beautiful spring scenery everywhere, which makes people feel bright in their hearts.

The celebration banquet is naturally not really for drinking and eating. How many times a year can there be a banquet where hundreds of officials gather together? The emperor was in poor health and should not drink more, but after the banquet, he said a few words of emotion. After drinking a few cups with the ministers, he let everyone be free.

In the imperial garden, as the musicians in the palace came to the banquet to play the pleasant sound of silk bamboo, the beautiful dancers' clothes fluttered into the banquet like the arrival of fairies, and the ministers gradually let go of their hearts and drank a glass of wine with the people around them.

Jiang Yong is also a layman. Although he is still a little calm, he is gradually immersed in this cheerful atmosphere. Among other things, it was enough for him to feel proud and happy that the banquet was held for their triumphant generals.

"Lord Jiang, I would like to give you a toast."

A slightly strange voice sounded behind him, which brought Jiang Yong back to his senses. He subconsciously looked back, but couldn't help but be stunned. Because the man who came to him to toast was the King of Jing.

Jiang Yong quickly got up and bowed his hand to salute: "I have met the prince."

King Jing waved his hand, bent down from the table and picked up the glass that Jiang Yong had just filled with wine and said, "Don't be polite. I'm here to come to Lord Jiang for a drink. This glass of wine, Lord Jiang, for me to defeat the fierce enemy in the Southern Tang Dynasty! Please!"

After saying that, King Jing looked up and drank all the wine in the glass. He handed Jiang Yong the cup he had just picked up from the case in the other hand. Jiang Yong took the glass with both hands and said, "Thank you for your love." Then, he also drank all the wine in the glass.

"Lord Jiang is good at drinking, let's have another drink!" After watching Jiang Yong drink a glass of wine, King Jing bent down to pick up the wine pot on the table, first filled a glass for himself, and then handed it to Jiang Yong: "Speaking of which, I and Lord Jiang are also predestined. Four years ago, at this time, we met halfway to Beijing because of fate. After that, Lord Jiang's daughter saved my son again and again. I have wanted to have a few drinks with Lord Jiang for a long time, but I have never had a chance. Today, Lord Jiang must fulfill my mind.

Jiang Yong heard this and was secretly alert. He doesn't know Prince Jing at all. It was good for everyone to walk together halfway four years ago. But later, because Ting'er saved his son, they soon separated again. Later, when he came to the capital, the Prince Jing did not show his intention to make friends with him. Instead, his son repeatedly pestered Ting'er...

Thinking of his daughter's close relationship with the prince's son, Jiang Yong felt very headache. This master didn't come to get close to himself to help his son marry his daughter, did he? But it's not right. Isn't it rumored that the Prince of Jing hates the son of King Jing?

How did Jiang Yong know that Prince Jing didn't know what the wind was this time, and suddenly changed his attitude towards Liu Yao. This time he came to Beijing to congratulate him on the great victory of the Western Expedition. He was just to help Liu Yao marry Jiang Ting. Moreover, they have been informed that they have gone to Jiang's house and will soon go to Jiang's house to make a final order!

However, for fear of his concern, Wen and Jiang Ting both gave a death order to General Manager Zhang, so that he was not allowed to tell Jiang Yong the news that King Jing went to Jiang's house to "seeking relatives". And King Jing was extremely strict, and no one dared to spread words indiscriminately. Therefore, the so-called "seeking relatives" incident that he went to Jiang's mansion has not spread yet. It's not surprising that Jiang Yong can't guess King Jing's intention.

However, the matter of King Jing who went straight to Jiang's mansion after coming out of the palace on the day he entered Beijing was still discovered by many people. Therefore, although I don't know what he did when he went to Jiang's mansion, many suspicious rumors have resurfaced in the capital.

Therefore, at this time, the ministers saw that Prince Jing personally came to Jiang Yong for a drink, and the two talked happily. They were also secretly wondering whether the Jiang family was really going to marry King Jing's Mansion.

Jiang Yong did not understand King Jing's intention, and he himself was a very cautious person. Therefore, in the face of King Jing's sudden enthusiastic attitude, he felt inexplicable and could only deal with it. However, he had a bad impression of King Jing, and his son Liu Yao was even worse, so his attitude towards King Jing was not enthusiastic.

Jiang Yong's original intention was to drink a few cups with King Jing, and then find a way to send him away. But before he figured out what to do, King Jing was a little drunk. He pulled Jiang Yong and said it without saying anything, and then suddenly pulled him to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I have a request for your success." With that, King Jing did not forget to drink half a glass of wine that had been sprinkled in his hand and burped loudly.

"Oh, what request? Let me listen to it." The emperor looked at King Jing drunk and crazy with a smile.

Jiang Yong, who was pulled by his side, stood firmly with a black line on his head, and then bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I drank a few more cups with Lord Jing just now, but I didn't expect to make Prince Jing drunk. I beg the emperor to punish me.

The emperor waved his hand at Jiang Yong and said with a smile, "You don't have to care. Prince Jing just drank all the way from me to your place. It's normal to be drunk now. The emperor's intention is that Prince Jing himself is greedy and has no relationship with others.

Jiang Yong was relieved. He was afraid that Prince Jing would do something to lose his sight before driving, which would implicate himself. However, looking at the confused, red and drunken Lord Jing, Jiang Yong couldn't believe that he was really drunk. However, I don't know what this master wants to do, and he has to pretend to be drunk?

"Your Majesty, I want to ask you to be a matchmaker." King Jing pulled Jiang Yong to his side with a smile and pointed to him and said, "I think I'm very close to Lord Jiang. I want to have a daughter-in-law with him, don't you think?"

Jiang Yong suddenly turned his head and stared at King Jing, with a stunned and unbelievable face. He really didn't expect that King Jing would come to him like this and come to talk to the emperor about the marriage of the two families through drunkenness. He finally understood why King Jing had to pull him to drink just now. But now it's a little late to understand. If the emperor responds, what should he do?

The emperor smiled, but did not respond to King Jing. Instead, he asked Jiang Yong, "Jiang Yong, what do you think of King Jing's proposal?"

Jiang Yong has taken back his face and reluctantly replied with a smile, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that Prince Jing is drunk and will talk about this when he is confused for a while. It's better to think carefully about a woman's marriage here..."

"Lord Jiang's words are bad! I drank a lot of wine, but I'm not drunk yet. As the saying goes, the female in-laws here have two good surnames. You see, I have the same temperament with you, and my son is very predestined with your daughter. How good it is to get married!" Lord Jing glanced at Jiang Yong with the wrong eyes and waved his arm and shouted, "Think about it, if your daughter hadn't found my son from the woods four years ago, I might have left my son there. Also, if she hadn't sacrificed her life to protect each other and hurt her whole body to protect my son, my son may not have died at that time. What a good fate! Your Majesty, do you say yes?

Jiang Yong looked at Prince Jing with a proud smile and almost fainted without coming up in one breath. He never expected that Prince Jing would shout these things so shamelessly. His son was saved by a little girl two years younger than him, and he shouted so proudly! Doesn't this man care about his son's reputation at all? Or is it shameless at all?

"Cough, this is quite predestined." The emperor glanced at Jiang Yong, who was pale with a dark face, coughed twice, and resisted not laughing.

However, the emperor doesn't laugh, and someone laughs. King Jing shouted loudly, and many civil and military ministers could hear it clearly. The Protector, who was sitting not far away, couldn't bear it at all and laughed.

Jiang Yong suddenly turned his head, and his eyes fell on the protector like a knife. He has always admired the way of protecting the army, but the position of protecting the country's government and the Zhenbeihoufu has determined that he can't make friends with the old general. But not being able to make friends well does not mean that he can't admire the protector. However, the smile of the Duke of Protector made Jiang Yong laugh all his admiration. At this time, looking at this strong old general, Jiang Yong has only one idea in his heart. Is he laughing at King Jing or Ting'er?
