Chapter 429 Jiang Dichen, That Woman Is For You to Marry
After Jiang Dichen finished speaking, he glanced at the Queen and said to his father with a smile: "No wonder Father wants to add another concubine. It turns out that the Queen is really old and ugly."
Jiang Dichen poured a glass of wine and said to his father, "Father, I congratulate you on having another beautiful girl. I wish you can give birth to a little emperor for us all soon..."
Before Jiang Dichen finished speaking, he heard the emperor yelling at him: "Jiang Dichen, that woman is for you to marry!"
Jiang Dichen raised his eyebrows and looked at him and said, "Did I agree to marry you?"
The emperor said to him with a dark face: "You have to marry her even if you don't want to!"
Jiang Dichen snorted in his heart, then stood up and said, "Father, I am full and will leave first."
However, he stopped after walking a few steps, turned back and said to the emperor expressionlessly: "Father, this marriage, either you accept it, or you take it back immediately. Anyway, I, Jiang Dichen, will not marry."
After Jiang Dichen finished speaking, he left without looking back.
The emperor looked at his back and cursed: "Rebellious son, if you dare to disobey the imperial decree, I will take away your power."
Jiang Dichen, who had already walked far away, listened to his father's words. He just paused for a moment and left without looking back.
He wanted to take back power, he was eager to do so. Without all these messy things, he would rather go to Nanshan to accompany Ruolan and her son, living a carefree life, working from sunrise to sunset.
Seeing that his father was angry, Jiang Yixuan added fuel to the fire and said, "Father, my fifth brother is becoming more and more unreasonable now."
The Crown Prince also quickly added: "Fifth brother is more than just rude. He doesn't even take our father seriously."
After he finished speaking, he looked at his father and said, "Father, I have received news that my fifth brother has signed a contract with the Xia Kingdom. I heard that the gold and silver alone are worth tens of millions of taels. He has never mentioned this to you."
After the Emperor heard what the Crown Prince said, he looked at him fiercely and asked, "Is this true? And how did you know this?"
The emperor really has no idea about this matter.
The prince met his father's gaze and said calmly, "Father, it's no secret that the Emperor of Xia was expelled from the royal family because Xia Hongmiao hurt Shen Ruolan. I heard that the most crucial reason for this was that the Emperor of Xia wanted to shirk his debt, so he resorted to this desperate measure."
"I know." When the emperor heard that it was because of Shen Ruolan again, he became even more displeased with her.
Suddenly the emperor thought of something. He looked at the prince and asked, "I heard that Shen Ruolan has powerful weapons. You have lived in the mountains for so long. Is this true?"
The prince said truthfully: "To reply to Father, this is true."
Shen Ruolan kept the matter of the mysterious weapon very secret. He tried to go in and find out what was going on several times but was caught by her people. To be more precise, he was caught by Jiang Dichen's people.
The emperor heard it was true, he looked at his son and asked: "Have you seen it? What kind of weapon is that?"
The prince thought about it for a moment and said to his father, "Father, Shen Ruolan has several kinds of weapons. One is similar to a bow and arrow, which can fire more than a dozen arrows in a row, and it is also very accurate and powerful, but the range is not very far. There is another kind, which I only saw is a cloth bag, but it is very powerful and can blow up hundreds of people in an instant."
The queen, who was originally furious with Jiang Dichen and whose face turned blue, started to make plans in her heart after hearing what her son said.
Since Shen Ruolan has such good things, and her son is also interested in her, she can lure her to her own camp before Jiang Dichen marries her.
The prince's words shocked the emperor for a long time. After a long while, he asked the prince, "Since she has such a powerful weapon, why doesn't she let Lao Wu use it?"
If Lao Wu had such a powerful weapon, why would the imperial court have to spend so much energy attacking the State of Yan?
It is both labor-intensive and costly.
The prince looked at his father's matter-of-fact look and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. He, Jiang Dichen, wanted to use it, but the question was whether others would give it to him.
Jiang Qing was dissatisfied in his heart, but he still responded to his father: "Father, this, I don't know."
Seeing the prince like this, the emperor knew that he could not get anything useful out of him. However, at this moment, his opinion of Shen Ruolan suddenly changed a little. At the same time, he was thinking about the fifth brother's marriage.
Jiang Dichen came out of the palace and did not go back to the palace directly. Instead, he went directly to the military camp to celebrate the New Year with the soldiers. When he returned to the palace, it was already late at night.
"Fifth brother, you're back." Jiang Yingxue suddenly appeared from the corner and shouted to him with a smile.
Jiang Dichen saw that his sister was still awake. He frowned and said to her, "Xue'er, it's getting late. Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Jiang Yingxue said to her brother coquettishly: "Fifth brother, I want to stay up all night with you."
After saying that, she took her brother's arm, looked up at him and asked cautiously, "Fifth brother, is this okay?"
Jiang Dichen looked at his sister who was full of expectation, and his heart suddenly softened. He said to her, "Okay."
"Thank you, fifth brother." Jiang Yingxue happily responded when she heard that her brother was willing to stay up with her to celebrate the New Year.
After saying that, she pulled her brother and said, "Fifth brother, let's go to my yard. I have prepared a midnight snack."
Jiang Dichen originally wanted to say that they could just stay in the hall, but looking at his happy sister, he couldn't bear to refuse and so he followed his sister's wishes.
Jiang Yingxue pulled her brother to her yard. She asked him to sit down and said, "Fifth brother, the food on the table is made with a very unique soy sauce. It tastes very good. Come and try it."
Jiang Dichen looked at the delicious dishes on the table and asked his sister in surprise, "Xue'er, what is this soy sauce?"
After hearing what her brother said, Jiang Yingxue quickly asked the palace maid to bring a small bowl of soy sauce, and said to her brother as if offering a treasure: "Fifth brother, this is it. I heard that it is the only one in the entire Beiming."
After she finished speaking, she paused and continued, "However, this thing is delicious when used to cook dishes, but it's a bit too expensive. Just a small bowl cost me fifty taels of silver."
When Jiang Dichen heard that this small bowl of dark black water cost fifty taels of silver, he took it and sniffed it and said, "Xue'er, are you sure you are not being cheated?"
A bowl of black water costs fifty taels of silver, which is more expensive than buying gold.
Jiang Yingxue hesitated for a moment and said to her brother: "Fifth brother, this was sold to me by the Third Emperor's wife's second brother, it shouldn't be possible."
If he dared to sell fake goods to cheat her, she would definitely make his family pay for it.
Jiang Dichen was silent for a moment, then ordered his subordinates, "Yan Mo, send someone to check what's going on."
"Yes, master." Yan Mo replied.
Seeing that her brother was worried, Jiang Yingxue said to him, "Fifth brother, this stuff is really delicious when cooking. If you don't believe me, try it."
Jiang Yingxue said this and picked up a piece of meat that she had specially reserved for her brother and gave it to him with her chopsticks.
Jiang Dichen paused for a moment while looking at the meat, then lowered his head and started eating.
The braised pork tasted fat but not greasy, soft, sticky and fragrant. Jiang Dichen felt that the taste was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had eaten it before.
