The queen is crazy and spoiled, and the tyrant bows to her

Chapter 356 Lu Jinan vows

As Xie Zhiyan stepped out of the palace, a gust of cold wind blew snowflakes in his face. He subconsciously squinted his eyes, and inadvertently looked up, and saw Jiang Wantang standing quietly in the snow. She was dressed in red and fox fur, like a red plum blossom blooming in the cold winter, cold and noble.

The biting cold wind blew her hair, and a few strands of hair gently brushed against her cheeks, reddening her cheeks and nose. The fox fur cloak on her body fluttered slightly in the wind and snow, making her look more graceful, elegant, and independent.

Xie Zhiyan saw her flushed cheeks, frowned subconsciously, and slowed down his pace involuntarily.

The conversations and footsteps of the surrounding courtiers seemed to gradually fade away. In the entire gray world, it seemed as if only he and Jiang Wantang in the wind and snow were left.

Their eyes met in the air, and for a moment, it seemed as if time had frozen.

Snowflakes fell on Xie Zhiyan's shoulders and hair, but he was completely unaware.

There was a complex light flashing in his eyes, with surprise, heartache, worry... the emotions were strong and complicated.

There is an indescribable emotion hidden in his eyes...

At this time, Lu Jinan, who was following behind him, also noticed Xie Zhiyan's abnormality. He followed his gaze and saw Jiang Wantang in the wind and snow.

But when she saw that the little palace maid standing next to her was not Yun Shang, she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Seeing this, Lu Jinan raised his eyebrows slightly, but didn't say anything.

He can empathize better than anyone else the feeling of unrequited love.

So, Lu Jinan said considerately, "Sir, I have a few words to say to the Imperial Concubine. To avoid suspicion, why don't you go with me?"

He did have a few words that he wanted Jiang Wantang to convey to Yun Shang, whom he deeply loved.

During the days since he returned to Beijing, the letters he wrote to Yun Shang never received a reply.

No matter how determined Yun Shang's attitude was, he was unwilling to give up.

After hearing Lu Jinan's words, Xie Zhiyan came back to his senses, withdrew his gaze, and rejected his proposal.

At this moment, Xiuzhu, who was beside Jiang Wantang, was already walking towards the two of them.

Walking up to them, Xiuzhu bowed to them and then said to Lu Jinan, "Sir Lu, my queen would like to have a moment with you."

Lu Jinan blinked in surprise and looked at Xie Zhiyan beside him with a look of astonishment.

The latter said nothing...

Afterwards, Lu Jinan tidied up his official uniform and followed Xiuzhu towards Jiang Wantang.

Lu Jinan walked up to Jiang Wantang, bowed, and said, "Your humble servant greets the Imperial Concubine. What are your wishes?"

Jiang Wantang looked at Lu Jinan quietly, her eyes calm and deep. After a moment, she opened her lips slightly, her voice soft but with a majesty that could not be ignored.

She said, "Lu Jinan, I agree to your marriage with Yun Shang."

Lu Jinan felt a buzzing sound in his head, his pupils trembled violently, and he stood there as if he had been cast under a spell.

Happiness comes too suddenly...

It is no exaggeration to say that he even thought he was hallucinating.

Lu Jinan looked at Jiang Wantang in front of him in shock, his eyes unable to hide his excitement. He was stunned for a long time before he regained his ability to speak: "Mother...Mother, what are you talking about?

"Why..." Jiang Wantang chuckled and said calmly, "Master Lu is unwilling?"

"Yes!" Lu Jinan almost blurted out, his voice becoming high-pitched because of excessive excitement.

He nodded hurriedly, his face showing uncontrollable excitement and joy: "Yes, I am willing!"

"It's just..." Lu Jinan hesitated for a moment, looking a little embarrassed: "Shang'er...will she agree?"

Jiang Wantang looked at him, his expression unchanged, and said calmly, "She agreed."

"Seriously?"

Lu Jinan's eyes suddenly lit up, and his voice trembled slightly with excitement.

Jiang Wantang nodded slightly, then she changed the subject, her tone suddenly becoming a little colder: "But, Lu Jinan, I want you to promise that no matter what happens in the future, you must protect her, love her, and respect her..."

"If she hurts even a hair around you in the future, I will never let you go!"

Jiang Wantang's voice was not loud, but every word was clear, and every word was filled with a chilling majesty.

Lu Jinan immediately lifted up his official robe and knelt on the snow with a plop.

He raised three fingers and swore to the sky with a serious and solemn expression: "I, Lu Jinan, swear to the sky today that I will love only Yun Shang in this life, and I will never have other thoughts. I will love her, protect her, respect her, and never leave her. I will depend on her through life and death..."

"If you break this oath, I will die a miserable death, struck by five thunderbolts, and there will be no return!"

His voice was firm and powerful, echoing in the snow and ice. Every word seemed to carry his solemnity and promise, lingering for a long time in the wind and snow.

Jiang Wantang looked at Lu Jinan kneeling on the ground. The coldness in her eyes gradually dissipated. She nodded slightly and said softly, "Get up."

"From now on, I will entrust Yunshang to you..."

"Your wedding date will be set for seven days from now. Go back and make good preparations. Don't let her down any further."

"Seven days later?!" Lu Jinan was a little surprised and couldn't help but exclaim.

Judging from the time, the wedding date is a bit too hasty.

Jiang Wantang narrowed his eyes slightly and asked coldly, "Is there a problem?"

"no problem!"

"I will live up to your trust, Your Majesty. I will also make this wedding a grand occasion and will not let Yun Shang suffer any grievances!" Lu Jinan said with a firm tone and bowed.

Admittedly, the wedding date was a bit hasty, but it was exactly what he wanted.

He would love nothing more than to marry his beloved as soon as possible.

Jiang Wantang felt quite relieved when she saw his firm attitude towards Yun Shang.

She waved her hand and turned to leave.

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your help!" Lu Jinan said solemnly and bowed again.

All the way back, Lu Jinan felt his steps were light, as if it were unreal, and he felt both excited and nervous.

Xie Zhiyan did not leave, but just watched them from a distance.

For some reason, he always felt uneasy the moment he saw Jiang Wantang.

So, when Lu Jinan was walking back, Xie Zhiyan walked over.

He looked at Lu Jinan, who was full of joy, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "What did she say to you?"

Lu Jinan's face was filled with an irrepressible smile. He looked at her excitedly, his tone unable to conceal his excitement: "My lord, the imperial concubine said that she agreed to my marriage with Yun Shang, and she also set the wedding date for seven days from now!"

When he said this, his eyes sparkled with happiness and his hands trembled slightly unconsciously.

However, Xie Zhiyan's pupils darkened and his expression changed instantly...
