Quick Wear: Heaven Always Favors Me

Chapter 567: Ancient Words: The Charming Sister 15

The King of Chu didn't say anything for a while, but this already expressed his meaning.

Jiang Xiang's face suddenly turned cold.

He is loyal to his country and patriotic. He is a loyal and good minister who cares about his country and his people. He always has the attitude of "those who are not of my race must have different hearts" towards foreign races such as barbarians.

But now, seeing that his daughter was like a commodity, being manipulated at will by the emperor, for the first time in his life he doubted the education and ideas he had received.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yue raised her head in disbelief and looked at Si Zian in astonishment and shock.

Jiang Yao took in the expression on her face.

Jiang Yue was surprised.

why?

Could it be that her value is higher than Jiang Yue knows?

The King of Chu remained silent for a long time. Prime Minister Jiang could no longer sit still. He stood up, walked to the center of the hall, lifted up his robe, knelt down and kowtowed, saying:

"Your Majesty, I am only fourteen years old and not yet of marriageable age. According to the laws of the Central Plains, this is against the rules."

After Prime Minister Jiang said this, Si Zian did not react at all, but the Emperor of Chu looked gloomy.

"Prime Minister Jiang, I understand what you are talking about." The King of Chu looked at Prime Minister Jiang who was kneeling below with cold eyes, "But when discussing state affairs, you, as the Prime Minister of a country, are so unruly. You should be punished!"

Everyone could see that the King of Chu was taking out his anger on Prime Minister Jiang.

Prime Minister Jiang said that this was the law of the Central Plains. If the King of Chu forced Jiang Yao to marry him, it would undoubtedly mean that he was willing to disregard the law for the sake of the three cities.

Isn't this a sign of weakness on the other hand?

The King of Chu would never allow such a thing!

Jiang Xiang is the prime minister of a country, so he cannot punish him too severely.

But it was too light, and the King of Chu felt it was not enough.

That’s three cities!

If we get it, the Chu State will become even more powerful!

Prime Minister Jiang seems so loyal on weekdays, but how come he is so stupid at the critical moment?

The more the King of Chu thought about it, the angrier he became. After thinking for a moment, he said in a cold voice, "I think you are confused. I will dismiss you from your post for half a year and let you reflect on your actions at home."

Jiang Xiang was relieved when he heard his punishment: "Your Majesty, I obey your order."

The King of Chu was even more angry when he saw Prime Minister Jiang's attitude: "Why don't you get out?"

Jiang Xiang stood up steadily, bent over and returned to his seat.

The King of Chu was still furious, but when he met Si Zian's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, he suppressed his anger and said, "Prince, according to the laws of our Central Plains, if you want to marry her as your princess, you have to wait two years."

Si Zian raised his eyebrows: "I remember there is another term in the Central Plains, called a marriage contract."

"I can wait two years to marry my princess." When Si Zian said this, his dark golden eyes looked at Jiang Yao, "But please let me decide on my princess first."

"On the day I marry the princess, those three cities will belong to the State of Chu, okay?"

This time, Jiang Xiang couldn't get ahead anymore.

Naturally, King Chu would not refuse. He even agreed without giving others a chance to react, nor giving Jiang Yao a chance to choose.

After he agreed, he asked someone to bring paper and pen, and he personally drafted the marriage contract.

Others thought that some other emotions would appear on Jiang Yao's face, but there was none at all.

She still had a nonchalant look on her face, as if she had no idea that she was destined to be married to the barbarian prince.

In the eyes of some people, that is an expression of resignation.

This barbarian prince was handsome, but in their impression, barbarians were crude and barbaric, and there were even cases of barbarians sharing their wives with their fathers and brothers.

It's such a pity that Jiang Yao ended up like this, as she was so beautiful.

Most people think so.

Si Zian took his marriage contract, winked at Jiang Yao, and sat back in his seat.

After Si Zian's proposal, the rest of the New Year's banquet became boring.

Due to health reasons, Jiang Yao began to feel drowsy in the second half of the banquet. She lowered her eyes, and although her body was still sitting upright, her whole body had entered power saving mode.

Except for those who practiced martial arts, to others, she still seemed sober.

Especially Si Zian, who was sitting opposite, could see Jiang Yao's sleepy look clearly, and even had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

The annual banquet ended at midnight. The Emperor of Chu left first with his queen and concubine, followed by the princes and princesses.

Si Zian, who was supposed to leave after the King of Chu, waited until the third group, Jiang Xiang, left before he stood up.

He was even walking slowly on the road not far from Jiang Xiang. Sima Zhao's intention was obvious to everyone!

Jiang Xiang looked at him as if he was the god of plague. He stood next to Jiang Yao, blocking Si Zian's gaze, and protected Jiang Yao as he got on the carriage.

After seeing Jiang Yao get on the carriage, Si Zian retracted his gaze and the smile on his lips disappeared.

……

Si Zian will stay in the capital for a month, and during this month, he specifically asked Jiang Yao to enter the palace.

The King of Chu did not give Prime Minister Jiang a chance to refuse and sent someone to pick up Jiang Yao in person.

If Jiang Yao falls ill, there are several imperial doctors on standby.

Jiang Yao obviously couldn't escape.

She accepted it calmly.

When Si Zian grabbed Jiang Yao's hand and held it, Jiang Yao's brows couldn't help but twitch.

There are many calluses on Si Zian's hands, which are much rougher than Jiang Yao's white, tender and smooth hands, but very warm.

"You are too weak, it must be because you stay at home all the time." Si Zian held Jiang Yao's hand, lowered his eyes and said seriously.

Si Zian's hands are very warm, while Jiang Yao's hands are always cold. This is true even in summer, and in winter she needs a hot water bottle to get a good night's sleep.

Jiang Yao also noticed that his eyelashes were very long, and when they drooped, they cast a small fan-shaped shadow on his face.

She wanted to pull her hand back: "Prince, this is against etiquette."

Si Zian raised his eyes and looked at her and smiled, his tone lazy: "Don't worry, they dare not tell anyone."

"Besides, you will be my wife in the future. I will take care of your health first."

As he said that, he called his eunuch to bring out some things.

After a while, Jiang Yao looked at the heated goat milk wine in front of her. The strong milky aroma and light spicy taste blended together made her saliva unconsciously secrete.

While waiting, Jiang Yao's hands had already become warm.

Si Zian let go of her hand and said softly:

"This is goat milk wine from our place. It is very good for the body. You should try it."

Jiang Yao held the bowl. The temperature was slightly hot, but it was just right when she drank from it. The rich milk flavor and light sweetness rushed into her mouth, and then a warmth spread from her throat and stomach to the surroundings.

Jiang Yao felt that all the winter chill had been dispelled. She narrowed her eyes slightly with great enjoyment and drank the bowl of goat milk wine in small sips.
