Chapter 195 hanged
Finally, it's New Year's Eve. Jiang Ting did not receive the Empress Dowager's decree this time, so she didn't have to go to the palace to pay a New Year call this year. She temporarily threw all those annoying things behind her mind, accompanied her two brothers and sisters to listen to set off firecrackers, watched people paste Spring Festival couplets, and also took them to paste two Fu characters everywhere... In a word, she felt really happy that she didn't have to go to the palace on New Year's Eve.
But when Wen came back in the evening, Jiang Ting's happiness was gone. Because Wen told her that the Empress Dowager specially saw her, the meaning of the words was to point Jiang Ting to the prince as a side concubine...
When the Empress Dowager said this, Wen did not dare to breathe. Although she did not want Jiang Ting to be the crown princess in her private, she could only listen. Even the Empress Dowager didn't ask her at all. She was called over, which actually served as a microphone.
In Jiang Ting's opinion, the Empress Dowager deliberately beat her. The Empress Dowager's meaning may be: Isn't she not willing to go to the palace, and even has to be in a hurry to get married first? As a result, she struggled for so long and didn't decide. All right, she won't worry about it anymore. This time, the Empress Dowager will order it for her directly...
Jiang Ting felt that she was going crazy. I thought that the Empress Dowager had ignored her for more than a month, and nothing had been said in the palace, so it was okay. How did you think that the empress dowager still wanted to marry her? At this moment, she suddenly complained about Liu Yao. Didn't he say that he would settle the matter as soon as possible? Why hasn't anything happened for so long? Doesn't he want to marry her?
Then, Jiang Ting was stunned, and then her face, ears and even her whole body burned. It turned out that she didn't feel good when she looked at this house, but she felt uncomfortable when she looked at that house. Is it because of Liu Yao? So, has she subconsciously decided to marry him? However, he is still a child in her eyes...
However, at this time, Jiang Ting could no longer deceive herself when she remembered Liu Yao's tall and slender posture and said that she wanted to marry her. In fact, she has long understood in her heart that he is no longer a child. It's just that she doesn't want to admit it. However, now is not the time to think about Liu Yao. She has to think quickly to get through this difficult time.
Jiang Ting tried her best to calm down and remembered the letter sent by her father last time. After my father won, he asked someone to bring a letter from home when sending a memorial. The letter said that since he won, he naturally could not let her marriage be decided so hastily. Therefore, in his letter, he told Wen and Jiang Ting that unless they met a good partner, it would be better to wait for him to come back and help Jiang Ting get married.
Jiang Ting felt that since her father had won the battle, there was no reason to help her get married directly without her father's consent. Besides, the emperor had promised her father that he would not let her be a concubine to the prince, so it was not so simple for the empress dowager to issue an order. Most importantly, she couldn't figure out why the Empress Dowager insisted on pointing her to the prince.
Since you can't figure it out, don't think about it. Jiang Ting knows that the most important thing now is how to solve the current dilemma. But she can't find anyone to discuss at the time, so she can only be bored alone.
A few days later, the news that the Empress Dowager was going to point Jiang Ting to the prince spread in the noble circle of the capital. And she pushed the marriage proposal of so many families before, which really hurt the face of many people. As a result, all kinds of rumors came to my face. Some say that she climbs dragons and phoenixes, and some say that she tends to be attached to power... Anyway, there are all kinds of bad rumors.
Jiang Ting was annoyed after hearing this, but she had no choice. She can't just find someone to marry for those rumors. Two days later, I just got married and was trying to make a picture at home.
"Girl, I heard a message from outside." Zhihua didn't care about the master-servant etiquette. After entering the door, he pulled Jiang Ting with an anxious face and said directly, "Some people say that the prince of King Jing took advantage of the time to ask the emperor to marry him in the early morning, saying that he asked the emperor to marry him!"
Jiang Ting's expression stiffened, staring at Zhihua and asked, "Where did you hear it? Is the news reliable? How is Liu Yao doing?
Zhihua shook his head and said, "I don't know how the son of King Jing is doing now. However, I heard that the emperor seemed to be furious and scolded him severely. This was suddenly said by a stranger to the maidservant. After saying that, he ran away, but the maidservant didn't catch up with him. Girl, what do you think we should do about this?
Jiang Ting was stunned and muttered impatiently, "How do I know what to do? Does that boy have no brain? Why did you make such a stupid move..."
The last sentence was mixed up by Jiang Ting. Zhihua didn't hear it clearly, so she asked, "Girl, what are you talking about? Who has no brain?
Jiang Ting coughed, covered up the uncomfortableness on her face, and smiled dryly and said, "I didn't say anyone. Zhihua, thank you for helping me find out the news.
Zhihua shook his head and said, "This news was not specifically inquired by the maidservant. The man took the initiative to tell theservant. The maidservant felt that it seemed that someone wanted the maidservant to send messages to the girl, so she hurried to see you. Girl, this news will spread in the capital soon. The reputation of the son of King Jing among the nobles is not good. You are now involved in this relationship with him..."
Jiang Ting took a white look at Zhihua and said, "What does this have to do with me? It's not that I want him to ask for marriage.
"Girl..." Zhihua became more and more impatient. She can't figure out why her girl is so calm. Doesn't she understand? As soon as this matter spread, her reputation was over.
"All right, anyway, it's already like this. It's useless for me to be anxious, isn't it?" Jiang Ting patted Zhihua on the shoulder and comforted her, "Don't worry, girl, I know it. It won't be bullied for nothing."
"However, between you and the prince..." Zhihua had to say more, but was stopped by Jiang Ting's gesture.
"Oka, you have become a daughter-in-law, so go home and give birth to your husband. Don't worry about these things anymore." Jiang Ting had an inexplicable smile on her face and pulled Zhihua and said, "Besides, we won't be common after you get married. Now that you are here, talk to me and make me happy. Let's leave these bad things alone.
"Girl, you are really... Oh, forget it. Anyway, as long as you know it." Zhihua smiled helplessly and said, "I'm stupid, so I can only help the girl pay more attention to the news outside. How to deal with it? There will always be a way for the girl and the old ladies to discuss more. Moreover, the master will be back soon. He will definitely have a way.
Zhihua has a kind of blind worship for Jiang Yong. Not only those who know painting, but also the young people in the house basically have this kind of plot. They all think that their master is omnipotent. Jiang Ting didn't intend to break the concept of Zhihua, so she nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, I just think Dad is coming back soon, so I don't worry about anything."
Zhihua was relieved and went back after talking with Jiang Ting for a while.
Then, in the following days, the rumors about Jiang Ting became more and more unbearable. After Liu Yao begged the emperor to no results, he actually went to the palace to beg the Empress Dowager. And after being scolded again this time, he went on to beg the Empress...
The capital was shocked by Liu Yao's infatuation. However, the result of the sensation directly led to Jiang Ting's few remaining boudoirs, all of which were blackened and wiped away. But at this time, the Empress Dowager actually spoke again, scolding everyone for talking nonsense about others, as if she still wanted to marry Jiang Ting. Although they didn't say who to point it to, everyone has already acquiesced that they want to point it to the prince.
As a result, Jiang Ting has become the most topical figure in the capital in the past decade. Then, the eldest girl Jiang, who was in the center of gossip, couldn't bear to talk about slander by outsiders and hanged herself in ten days.
