Chapter 219 Proposal
Jiang Lige was silent, unable to refute.
How can you allow others to sleep soundly under the couch?
Jiang Lige has always understood this principle, but he never thought it would happen to him.
"Where is Bo Xuan? Has the emperor said how to deal with him?" Jiang Lige asked.
"Your Majesty has already promised me that until the truth is revealed, Jiang Boxuan will be temporarily kept in the capital as a hostage and no punishment will be taken." Ning Yunxiao paused, then explained, "But if this is truly the work of the Xu family, then it is a blood debt owed to the Xu family, and I cannot stop Your Majesty from punishing him."
"That's enough."
Jiang Lige knew that if Ning Yunxiao had not intervened, Jiang Boxuan would have been imprisoned as soon as he arrived in Beijing. Now, at least until the Xu family's rebellion was confirmed, Jiang Boxuan was still safe.
As long as there is time to maneuver, everything is not too bad.
Thinking of this, Jiang Lige said sincerely: "Your Highness, thank you."
Ning Yunxiao curled his lips and added, "However, we have to send Jiang Boxuan out of the palace tomorrow. Although he is young, he is a man after all, and it is really inappropriate for him to live in the harem."
"Where will he live from now on?"
"Jiayi Pavilion."
Jiayi Pavilion is the inn used by Shengling State to accommodate envoys from various countries. As a hostage, it is indeed the safest option for Jiang Boxuan to live here.
"Then I will escort him out with His Highness."
"it is good."
After finishing the business, Jiang Lige's heavy mood finally eased a little. She opened her mouth and was about to speak, but heard the sound of fireworks exploding outside the house.
Only then did she realize that if Nan Chu hadn't gotten into trouble, they would probably be watching the fireworks on the cruise ship at this moment.
Ning Yunxiao probably guessed what Jiang Lige was thinking, so he stood up and pushed open the closed doors and windows.
Colorful fireworks bloomed in the sky, lighting up the entire night. Ning Yunxiao turned around in the sky full of fireworks, and his obsidian eyes were only fixed on Jiang Lige's figure.
Then he said, "Jiang Lige, marry me."
Jiang Lige was stunned for a moment before he stammered, "Your Highness is stupid. We were going to get married anyway."
"It's not the Crown Prince, nor His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The one proposing to you right now is Ning Yunxiao. I'm proposing to you today not because of the imperial decree, nor because you are the Princess of Nanchu, but because..."
Jiang Lige didn't know if it was an illusion, but when Ning Yunxiao said this, she actually caught a flash of tears in his eyes, and there was even a hint of suppressed relief in his tone.
"I like you, Jiang Lige, I like you. I've wanted to say this for a long time, and it wasn't until today that I finally had the confidence, ability, and position to say it. It's great."
If Ning Yunxiao had said this in the past, Jiang Lige would have readily accepted it, but now...
"Ning Yunxiao, if I were you, at this critical juncture, I would not choose to revisit the marriage that has been put on hold. My mother is no longer the Queen of Nanchu, and my in-laws have become criminals condemned by thousands of people. In the future, I might become Nanchu's abandoned child, or even a criminal. Marrying me will not benefit you in the slightest."
The words suppressed in his heart surged in his throat several times, but Jiang Lige finally said them out.
But compared to Jiang Lige's heavy heart, Ning Yunxiao smiled lightly and replied, "Jiang Lige, if I were you, I would agree without hesitation. Because now, only the identity of Crown Princess Sheng Ling can protect you. As long as you marry me, Nan Chu will have to think twice before making things difficult for you or your mother. You think so much about me, why don't you think about yourself?"
The nonsensical answer made Jiang Lige sneer and jokingly said, "Fool."
Ning Yunxiao, who was being scolded, didn't care at all. He took a step forward and pulled out a wooden box from somewhere. "This is the gift you almost missed."
Jiang Lige opened the box and saw a jade plaque lying quietly inside the sunken wood box. The jade plaque was translucent and was obviously made of the finest warm jade. The pattern on the jade plaque was simple, and the three words "Prince's Order" were engraved in the middle.
Even though Jiang Lige was calm about it, he never thought that Ning Yunxiao would give him such a generous gift. He was so scared that his pupils trembled.
"The... the Crown Prince's order?"
"Yes." Ning Yunxiao answered naturally, "Ali, everything I have is for you."
"Ning Yunxiao, I won't try to get ahead of you. One day, you'll be thankful for what I said today. Thankful..." Jiang Lige suppressed the sourness in her nose and stood straight, as proud as ever. "Your sincerity has touched this princess. You are blessed to have such a beautiful woman by your side."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Lige was embraced in a warm embrace. The man's chin resting on her hair was trembling slightly. Even if Jiang Lige didn't see it, she could probably guess that the man was smiling with satisfaction.
Then he said, "Having a beautiful woman by my side, growing old together, is what I deserve."
Well, I've been with this guy for a long time, and he hasn't learned anything else, but he's become more and more shameless.
Jiang Lige complained silently.
After saying that, a warm kiss landed on her forehead.
But it was obvious that Ning Yunxiao wanted more than that. That soft spot spread from the center of his eyebrows to the bridge of his nose, the tip of his nose, and then downwards...
"Uh……"
Just before the kiss landed on his lips, the sound of a boy waking up could be heard from the inner room. Jiang Lige bounced far away as if his tail had been stepped on. Ning Yunxiao's face opposite him...
It also sank completely.
His future brother-in-law is really not very sensible.
Jiang Lige blushed and explained, "Bo Xuan is awake. I'll go in and take a look."
Although his brother-in-law was not sensible, Ning Yunxiao, as his future brother-in-law, still needed to love him as well as his family. "I'm with you."
Jiang Lige nodded, and the two of them went into the inner room one after the other.
At that time, Jiang Boxuan was being helped by Songyue to drink medicine. He leaned against the pillow, his pair of black eyes rolling around, looking at the unfamiliar scene in front of him.
The moment he saw Jiang Lige, the boy's eyes turned red. Even though they hadn't seen each other for a few years, Jiang Boxuan recognized her at a glance.
Jiang Boxuan glanced around warily before timidly asking, "Are you... my sister?"
Jiang Lige's eyes also turned red. She took two steps forward, touched the boy's head, and said gently, "Bo Xuan, I am your elder sister."
"Sister!"
After all, he was a child who had been spoiled since childhood. Just one sentence made him burst into tears. He hugged Jiang Lige and cried like a tearful person.
The scene of the brother and sister recognizing each other was so touching that many palace servants wiped away their tears quietly.
Only Ning Yunxiao, who was standing nearby and had no chance to introduce himself, felt a little depressed. His words "I'm your brother-in-law" were muffled by the loud crying.
Ning Yunxiao tried hard to portray the image of a sensible brother-in-law. "It's rare for you siblings to be together, so I won't disturb you. I'll pick you up tomorrow."
Jiang Lige had no doubts and nodded, "Okay, thank you, Your Highness."
Well, this time I was completely hurt.
