Chapter 428 Do You Want to Be My Sister-in-law
When Jiang Dichen heard that he had to go to the palace to eat the New Year's Eve dinner, he couldn't help but frown, "Haven't we already eaten the New Year's Eve dinner? Why do we have to go to the palace?"
Emperors of every dynasty had a rule that every New Year, they would host a banquet for court ministers a few days in advance, and when the New Year's Day came, many ministers would stay at home and celebrate the New Year with their families.
Butler Zhao also looked puzzled and said, "I don't know."
Jiang Dichen said, "Okay, the palace should prepare early. I will enter the palace after I have finished eating."
"Yes, Your Highness." After receiving the order, Butler Zhao turned around and left.
On New Year's Eve, every household in the capital was busy preparing for the New Year, and Prince Han's Mansion was no exception.
This year, because there was one more person at the dinner table, Jiang Yingxue seemed very excited. While eating, she said to her brother, "Fifth brother, do you know? When you were not in Beijing, I had the New Year's Eve dinner alone, and it was so lonely."
After she finished speaking, she paused and said to her brother with a smile: "Fortunately, you are back this year, and cousin Yao is here to accompany me. I am really happy."
Yao Chuyan glanced at Jiang Dichen and said to Jiang Yingxue, "It is Chuyan's blessing to be able to have dinner with the princess. Chuyan is also very happy."
Jiang Yingxue looked at Yao Chuyan and said with a smile: "That's right, we get along so well, it would be great if we could become a family!"
After hearing what Jiang Yingxue said, Yao Chuyan couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
Sure enough, before Yao Chuyan could reply, Jiang Dichen put his chopsticks on the table with a "snap" and shouted at Jiang Yingxue, "Jiang Yingxue, if you dare to say another word of nonsense, go back to the palace."
Jiang Yingxue was startled by Jiang Dichen's sudden outburst. She didn't have time to swallow the food in her mouth. She looked at her brother with a confused face and asked, "Fifth brother, what's wrong?"
When Jiang Dichen saw his sister like this, he knew that he was wrong, very wrong. He, Jiang Dichen, had been a soldier for more than ten years and a strategist for more than twenty years, but he didn't expect that he raised his sister to be so arrogant and brainless.
Jiang Dichen felt very guilty. He had failed his mother's last wish and failed to raise his sister well. Jiang Dichen sighed and said to his sister, "Xue'er, you are not young anymore. I will help you choose a consort later."
Jiang Yingxue was stunned for a moment after hearing what her brother said. After she came to her senses, she looked at her brother with a sad face and said, "Fifth brother, even you find me annoying, right?"
Jiang Dichen said: "When a girl grows up, she will get married."
He can protect his sister for a while, but he can't protect her forever, so she has to learn to grow up, and while he can still control her marriage, he should find a suitable man for her to marry.
After hearing what her brother said, Jiang Yingxue lowered her head and cried, "But I just want to marry the person I like."
"Who do you like?" Jiang Dichen asked his sister.
As long as the other person's character is acceptable, Jiang Dichen can fulfill his sister's little wish.
After all, I am the same, I only marry the woman I like.
Hearing her brother asking about the person she liked, Jiang Yingxue looked at her brother with tears in her eyes and said, "Fifth brother, I like Master Lan, but he has been put into a coma for two years by Divine Doctor Shen."
After Jiang Yingxue finished speaking, she suddenly thought of something. She looked at her brother fiercely and said, "Fifth brother, I heard that Lan Wanxi is a very good doctor. Can you help me find her and ask her to cure Mr. Lan?"
When Jiang Dichen heard that his sister had not given up on Lan Zhiyan, he suddenly changed his expression and said to his sister sternly: "Xue'er, Lan Zhiyan is not a good man, so just give up the idea."
"Fifth brother, no..." Jiang Yingxue was about to say something, but Jiang Dichen yelled at her, "Eat."
Jiang Yingxue looked at her brother with a serious face and didn't dare to say another word.
Yao Chuyan was so frightened that she dared not utter a sound and just lowered her head to eat her meal in silence.
Because he had to go back to the palace, Jiang Dichen only ate until he was half full and then got up and left.
When Jiang Yingxue saw her brother leave, she cried to Yao Chuyan while eating, "Cousin, am I really that annoying? Fifth Brother doesn't like me anymore."
Yao Chuyan put down her chopsticks and comforted her, "Princess, you think too much. You and your cousin are siblings. How could he hate you?"
"But, Fifth Brother..." Yao Chuyan glanced around and made sure that there was no one around. She whispered to Jiang Yingxue, "Cousin is like this, I'm afraid he wants to marry Concubine Lan. Don't get angry with cousin recently. I believe he will still love you very much."
Jiang Yingxue was reminded by Yao Chuyan, which reminded her of all the things Shen Ruolalan had done to her in the past. Her face changed instantly, and she said angrily, "No, we must not let this woman in, otherwise, Fifth Brother will really ignore me."
Seeing this, Yao Chuyan quickly comforted her, "Princess, don't do anything stupid, or your cousin will blame you."
Jiang Yingxue thought of her brother's attitude towards that woman. She was silent for a moment, sneered, and asked Yao Chuyan: "Cousin, do you want to be my sister-in-law?"
Yao Chuyan was so frightened after hearing what Jiang Yingxue said that she quickly covered her mouth and whispered to her, "Princess, are you going to kill me?"
She dreamed of becoming her sister-in-law, but her cousin didn't even want to look at her, so how could he marry her?
Yao Chuyan knew that it was impossible for her to be with him, so as long as she could see him from afar, she would be content.
Just like the New Year’s Eve dinner tonight, even though she was not happy eating it, it was worth remembering for a lifetime.
Jiang Yingxue pulled her hand down and said to her seriously, "Cousin, I know you like Fifth Brother. If you are willing, I will find a way to make you my sister-in-law."
Yao Chuyan hesitated for a moment, looked at Jiang Yingxue and asked, "Princess, what can you do?"
Jiang Yingxue said to her mysteriously, "Just wait for the good news."
After she finished speaking, she whispered a few words in the nanny's ear, then stood up and left.
In the palace, there were no ministers at tonight's New Year's Eve dinner. It was only attended by the royal family, and the meal was lively and comfortable.
After everyone had finished eating, the emperor announced to everyone, "I called you all here tonight to tell you that after the New Year, our Jiang family will have another wedding."
After hearing the emperor's words, everyone present looked at him with confusion, except Jiang Dichen, who looked as if it had nothing to do with him.
The emperor looked at the puzzled crowd and explained, "I have just sent someone to the Shangshu Mansion to read the imperial decree, granting the marriage between the fifth son and the third daughter of the Shangshu Mansion. We will choose a date after the Chinese New Year to get married."
After the emperor finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Dichen who looked calm and asked, "Old Fifth, do you have any objections?"
Jiang Dichen, who was drinking tea, paused for a moment after hearing what his father said. He said to his father indifferently, "What father chooses is naturally the best."
