Reborn in ancient times: I will make my family rich

Jiang Nan, who was planning to watch the fun from the sidelines, was stunned for a moment when his name was suddenly called.

"Child, why don't you go quickly?" the Queen Mother smiled and urged Jiang Nan.

Everyone off the field also focused all their attention on the two of them.

When Gu Yanzhou heard his name, he immediately stepped forward and knelt down to listen to the order.

Jiang Nan also hurried down and knelt beside Gu Yanzhou.

Seeing that the two were ready, Li Sheng unfolded the imperial edict in his hand:

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that Jiang Nan is a skilled doctor, like Hua Tuo in the world. She has cured the Empress Dowager's headache and is very fond of her. Therefore, I make an exception and adopt Jiang Nan as my adopted daughter, naming her the Princess Miaoyi. General Gu Yanzhou is young and promising, with outstanding military achievements, and the Princess Miaoyi is kind and honest, with outstanding character and appearance. They are a perfect match made in heaven. I hereby grant them marriage today. I decree this."

After Li Sheng finished speaking, the two of them immediately bowed to thank him and accepted his order.

All of a sudden, apart from those who knew the relationship between Jiang Nan and Gu Yanzhou, the news of them being granted the title of county princess and the marriage between the two of them aroused a lot of excitement among the people.

Gu Yanzhou stepped forward and took the imperial edict from Li Sheng, feeling mixed emotions.

No wonder the emperor said he had a surprise for him.

Gu Yanzhou was indeed surprised when he looked at the imperial decree granting marriage in his hand.

Gu Yanzhou was naturally happy to marry the girl he loved, but he had other concerns in his mind.

As Gu Yanzhou stood up, Jiang Nan also looked a little surprised.

"I am tired today, my dear ministers, please do not worry about me, everyone, enjoy your drink."

The emperor suppressed his anger and finished his business. Suddenly he stood up and spoke quietly to everyone.

As he left, he snorted coldly at the queen and walked away in a huff.

"Farewell, His Majesty," the Queen and all the ministers stood up and saw him off.

"Alas," the Queen Mother felt a little regretful as she looked at the two people who had become alienated.

Jiang Nan looked at the emperor who left the table angrily and guessed that it was probably because he did not reach an agreement with the queen just now.

Although she was far away and couldn't hear clearly, she could see the expressions on the two people's faces clearly.

The Queen's aloofness and the Emperor's anger indicated that the relationship between them was not like an ordinary one.

After the emperor left, the empress dowager asked everyone to do as they pleased and the palace banquet continued.

"General Gu, congratulations to the County Master Miao Yi."

"This is a match made in heaven. Congratulations."

The ministers were all shrewd people. After the empress dowager spoke, they came forward to congratulate Jiang Nan and Gu Yanzhou.

At the same time, he also wanted to get close to Jiang Nan by showing off his reputation.

The Queen Mother’s adopted daughter, regardless of her previous background, is now on a meteoric rise.

In addition to their identities, the emperor personally granted their marriage, making them a strong union. Few people can have this honor.

"Thank you," Gu Yanzhou clasped his hands together and returned the greeting with a smile on his face.

Jiang Nan stood beside Gu Yanzhou and nodded politely in return.

Although Gu Yanzhou is usually serious, has no clique, and has no close friends in the court, he is a favorite of the emperor!

Jiang Nan stood there and felt his face was about to freeze from smiling.

I couldn't help but raise my hand and rub my face gently twice.

"Sister-in-law, I can finally call you openly," Gu Huixuan slipped over when Xu was not paying attention.

"Tsk, you used to yell like that a lot," Jiang Nan often bickered with Gu Huixuan on weekdays.

"Can that be the same?"

Gu Huixuan raised his eyebrows.

"Come on, both of you sit down and talk!"

Gu Yanzhou took advantage of Gu Huixuan coming up to chat with Jiang Nan to temporarily separate the ministers who wanted to come forward, and quickly changed the topic between the two and asked them to sit down.

Didn’t he see Jiang Nan rubbing his face just now?

"Sit there," Jiang Nan looked at Gu Yanzhou.

"Stay close to my seat, go to my place."

Gu Yanzhou's seat was just two steps away from the three people.

Anyway, the two of them are engaged now, so it’s not impolite to sit together.

In the distance, Xu watched Huixuan go to Jiang Nan, his face so gloomy that water could drip out of it.

Originally a little peasant girl with no ambition, she unexpectedly flew to the tree and became a phoenix.

Pingyang Hou, who was by Xu's side, no longer had any resistance in his heart. It was not shameful for her to marry into Pingyang Hou's mansion as a county princess.

"Did you ask the emperor to grant us a marriage?"

Sitting in his seat, Jiang Nan asked Gu Yanzhou in a low voice.

Although there are a lot of noises around, I don't have to worry about others eavesdropping.

"No, I was also surprised by the arranged marriage."

Gu Yanzhou did not choose to hide this matter.

"Could it be that the emperor saw through our relationship last time and granted us the marriage?"

If that's the case, it makes sense.

"That's it!"

Gu Yanzhou nodded subconsciously.

As smart as he was, he understood the emperor's good intentions from the moment the imperial edict was read.

As he spoke, Jiang Nan inadvertently raised his eyes and looked forward, and suddenly met Lin Lier's eyes.

Lin Lier looked at Jiang Nan with an unpleasant expression and resentment in her eyes.

Jiang Na frowned slightly. She couldn't remember any sin she had ever done to this woman, so why did she look at her like that?

"Who's that girl across from us?"

Jiang Nan asked Gu Yanzhou who was beside him.

Gu Yanzhou looked in the direction of Jiang Nan's voice, and frowned when he saw Lin Lier's expression.

"She is the daughter of the Minister of War, but her name is not very clear."

"She has a bad eye, so stay away from her in the future."

"Okay," Jiang Nan didn't say anything else, but he became alert in his heart.

The palace banquet officially ended at the hour of Xu.

After the emperor left, he never appeared again, and the empress presided over the entire period.

Because it was too late, Gu Huixuan did not follow, but took the carriage back from Pingyang Marquis' Mansion.

"The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve. The entire city of Shangjing will be on guard. There will also be lantern performances on the streets, as well as other spontaneous activities. Do you want to go and have fun in the evening?"

In the carriage, Gu Yanzhou said to Jiang Nan beside him.

A lot of things happened during this period, including work, so I haven't been with her for a long time.

"Okay, this is my first New Year in Shangjing City!"

Jiang Nan smiled and agreed, his eyes sparkling in the dark, and he was looking forward to going to the capital on New Year's Eve.

"Go back and tell your uncle that I will go and pay the betrothal gifts on a certain day after the New Year."

Gu Yanzhou leaned back in the carriage and played with Jiang Nan's fingers.

"So fast," Jiang Nan was surprised.

"You don't want to marry me."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yanzhou sensitively clenched Jiang Nan's fingers, turned his head to look at Jiang Nan, and there was a hint of hurt in his eyes.

It was one thing that he was afraid of affecting Jiang Nan, but it was another thing that Jiang Nan didn't want to marry him.

Gu Yanzhou was not aware of his own domineering behavior at all.

"No, I just didn't expect the process to be so fast. After the New Year, the restaurant has to prepare for opening, so it might be a bit busy."

Jiang Nan quickly explained.

"I'm ready. I'll let you know the time in advance and we can discuss it."

After hearing Jiang Nan's explanation, Gu Yanzhou softened his tone again.

"Today really feels like a dream. I was given the title of county lady and was granted marriage. All the good things happened to me."

"I'll let you dream every day from now on," Gu Yanzhou laughed and couldn't help but hug Jiang Nan tightly in his arms.

"You're making fun of me," Jiang Nan heard the low laughter coming from his ear, and his temper flared up. He hooked his arm around Gu Yanzhou's neck and forced him to look down at him.

"Really not, it's just that I rarely hear you talk like that."

Because of Jiang Nan's action, Gu Yanzhou was caught off guard and subconsciously lowered his head, their foreheads touching each other and their eyes met.
