Chapter 363 Love Token
It's a bit windy.
The wind ruffled the stray hairs on the boy's forehead.
It stirred up the boy's heart.
Jiang Zifeng felt warm inside, and her cheeks were burning.
It turns out that besides his family, there was someone else who had always been thinking of him and longing for his return.
There's something strange about this feeling.
Jiang Zifeng held the sachet, turning it over and over, looking at it again and again.
Cui Liulang took the sachet, placed it in front of him, and pointed to the pattern on it. "Can you see it? It's embroidered with two magpies flying with ribbons in their beaks, the ribbons tied together, which means they are of one heart. And in the middle is the knot of hearts... Brother Jiang, this is the knot of hearts, do you know what it means?"
He really wanted to whack Jiang Zifeng on the head a few times to wake him up.
Jiang Zifeng opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
A love knot!!
He had kept this sachet close to his body for so long, but he hadn't actually looked closely at the patterns on it.
At that moment, it was as if the clouds had parted and the moon was shining through; he understood something.
This sachet was actually a token of love.
Princess Rong'an actually fell in love with him?
This is incredible.
He began to understand what was going on.
The sachet was given to him by Princess Rong'an to express her feelings, and he foolishly accepted it without knowing it.
In other words, he accepted Princess Rong'an's offer of affection.
This……
"What should we do?" Jiang Zifeng blurted out.
"If you like her, just marry her. My cousin Yuan is talented and beautiful, and her family background is unmatched in the capital. If you marry my cousin Yuan, you'll be my brother-in-law, and even a prince consort!" Cui Liulang teased, putting his arm around his brother's shoulder.
Then she leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Brother Feng, don't underestimate my cousin just because she's young. She's the Emperor's cousin."
To win the heart of Princess Rong'an is something that countless noble families dream of.
But it was precisely because of this that Jiang Zifeng was filled with apprehension.
The Emperor's cousin!!
If he marries Princess Rong'an, wouldn't he become the Emperor's cousin-in-law?
Uh! This...
A little scary.
How could a mere deputy general like him possibly marry Princess Rong'an?
Like it?
I probably still like it.
He genuinely felt that the princess was a good person; his sister liked her, his mother liked her, and his aunt liked her.
Even her younger sister, Little Red Bird, and Jiang Xiaobai like her.
No one in the family dislikes her.
Sometimes I feel like Princess Rong'an is like family to them.
I never thought of it any other way.
Although she was a princess of noble birth, she was not pretentious at all. She was gentle and quiet, and when she was with her younger sister, she was a lively and lovely little girl.
She flew kites, had barbecues, and even climbed over the wall to pick cherries with her younger sister, only to be caught by Princess Jiayue.
Jiang Zifeng couldn't help but grin foolishly as she recalled the past.
Seeing his reaction, Cui Liulang understood.
She put her arm around his shoulder and said earnestly, "Brother Feng, let me tell you, my cousin Yuan has already come of age, and so many men are lining up to propose to her. If you don't go now, you'll miss your chance. Can you bear to see her marry the wrong person and cry every day?"
Jiang Zifeng naturally didn't want to.
However, it's inevitable to feel insecure and prone to anxiety.
Some hesitated.
"But Liu Lang, I can't presume to ask for her hand in marriage just because I accepted her sachet. If she were an ordinary woman, that would be one thing, but she is a princess, the emperor's cousin. I'm afraid I can't just marry her whenever I want."
Princess Rong'an was interested in him, but the idea of her asking him to marry her seemed a bit far-fetched.
Although her mother and the Princess Consort of Liang were on good terms, there was a significant difference in their social status compared to that of the princess.
The Lu family's situation has improved somewhat, and the maternal grandfather's family has been exonerated and reinstated.
But they still have a complicated relationship with their scumbag father, and they are still accumulating military merits.
How could a mere deputy general possibly marry Princess Rong'an?
Furthermore, he was about to head to another battlefield, where his fate was uncertain and his return date was unknown.
How could he make a promise to the princess, how could he make her wait for him day after day?
He will write a letter to Princess Rong'an to explain things clearly.
Before I could even utter a word of refusal, I was interrupted by a voice behind me.
"How can that be? If you like her, you'll marry her."
Mu Yunji walked over and overheard it, then gave him a hard knock on the head. "Feng'er, I heard from your godfather that if you miss out on such a good girl, you won't find another one even with a lantern. You'll regret it for the rest of your life."
He is a living example.
He wasn't thick-skinned enough, bold enough, and clumsy with words, which is why he missed out on Qingyao.
Now that he has the opportunity, he is not in the capital.
He couldn't even go back to his sister's wedding; he could only offer his silent blessings.
Life is full of disappointments, and if we don't even try to fight for the one or two things that don't go our way, wouldn't life be unbearably miserable?
At this moment, he wished he could ride as fast as he could to the border and drive those northern barbarians out of Daliang.
Looking at Feng'er is like seeing my former self, hesitant and timid.
He asked very seriously, "Feng'er, your godfather will just ask you one question: do you want to marry Princess Rong'an?"
Jiang Zifeng nodded subconsciously, then shook her head.
Mu Yunji: "...Don't worry about anything. Leave this to your godfather. If the betrothal gifts are not enough, your godfather will provide them for you."
Now that I've become someone's godfather, how can I let a child worry about something as trivial as arranging a marriage?
As he spoke, he prepared to go back and write a letter to tell Lu Qingyao about Feng'er and Princess Rong'an.
This needs to be done quickly.
Especially for the children of the royal family, marriage is often not their own choice.
It would be better if the emperor didn't interfere, but if he preemptively arranged a marriage for them.
It will be too late to regret it then.
If Princess Rong'an disagrees, it would be considered disobeying the imperial decree.
“Feng-ge’er, I have already written a letter to your mother, telling her your feelings. Now all you need to do is wait patiently for news.”
Jiang Zifeng opened her mouth.
Although he had various concerns, he would be most happy if it could be successful.
After spending time with him, he actually found a fatherly feeling in Mu Yunji.
What a coincidence.
When Lu Qingyao brought her daughter to the dock that day, the person they met was Princess Rong'an.
It was half a month later when I received Mu Yunji's letter.
Princess Rong'an secretly entered the capital with a merchant caravan, dressed as a man, and only brought a few attendants, keeping a very low profile.
She has been back in the capital for more than half a month, but she has neither returned to the Cui family nor to her own residence.
The Prince of Liang also had a residence in the capital, but it was always left unused.
She stayed in Lu Garden all day and didn't go anywhere else, not even to Prince Jing's wedding.
On the day of King Jing's wedding.
Miao Miao's family, as relatives and friends of the Mu family, watched Mu Qianxue get married.
King Jing, dressed in red, rode a tall horse to greet his bride. He was exceptionally handsome and had a refined and elegant demeanor.
Her uncle smiled at her, a bright and cheerful smile.
He married the same person in both his lifetimes, and she was the one he loved.
This is a day of great joy for him; he must be the happiest person he's ever been.
Miao Miao ran back to Mu Qianxue's room, panting, and shouted, "Auntie, Auntie, the groom is here!"
Upon hearing the news that King Jing had come to fetch the bride.
Mu Qianxue smiled shyly. No matter what lay ahead, she was happy at this moment.
In families like theirs, the person you admire also admires you, and you can even get married.
And then there were a few more people.
How fortunate we are to have encountered this.
I am very content at this moment.
After the newlyweds bid farewell to Madam Mu, they were then taken to the palace.
Originally, the couple should have been welcomed into Prince Jing's residence, but the elderly Empress Dowager and the seriously ill Crown Prince wanted to attend the ceremony, so the wedding was held in the palace.
Jiang Miaomiao felt a little regretful that she could only watch half of the ceremony.
She cannot enter the palace yet.
"Auntie, from now on you'll be my maternal uncle's wife," Jiang Miaomiao called out softly as she watched the wedding procession disappear into the distance.
How wonderful, I got to see them get married in this lifetime.
I will watch them have children in the future.
With her around, Jiang Zijin could forget about getting even a fraction closer to her uncle and aunt.
Speaking of Jiang Zijin, I still feel a little uneasy.
The dream of the dancer assassinating the Prince of Chen always made her uneasy.
The little girl blew her bamboo whistle to summon the little red bird. "Chirp chirp, go and see if Jiang Zijin is behaving herself as a nun at the Three Saints Temple."
"Choo Choo Choo……"
The little red bird chirped a few times and then flew away.
