Chapter 484 I have no choice but to let you down
Jiang Dichen said indifferently: "Ruolan, you are the mother of my child, my woman, it is only natural for me to help you do anything."
Having said that, he ignored Shen Ruolan's attempts to stop him and began to massage her legs with skillful techniques.
Shen Ruolan looked at the man who condescended to massage her legs, and thought about what the emperor had just asked her to do, and her mood became complicated.
Shen Ruolan could never accept sharing a husband with someone else.
But people are all made of flesh and blood. Jiang Dichen was so good to her, and she didn't want to make things difficult for him, let alone let him fall out with the emperor because of her own affairs.
After a long silence, Shen Ruolan said to Jiang Dichen, "Jiang Dichen, why don't you marry her? I..."
Jiang Dichen didn't wait for Shen Ruolan to finish her words. He said to her sternly, "Ruolan, I don't like what you said. Don't say it again in the future."
Shen Ruolan looked at him and said, "But the emperor has already issued the decree. There is no room for reversal."
Jiang Dichen said with a serious face: "I have my own way to deal with this matter, you don't need to worry about it."
After he finished speaking, he looked up at Shen Ruolan and said softly: "Ruolan, no matter what the emperor father said to you, it does not represent me. I will never break my promise to you or to you."
Shen Ruolan looked at him and said, "I just don't want to embarrass you."
Jiang Dichen listened to Shen Ruolan's caring words, and he suddenly said in a good mood: "Ruolan, I'm not embarrassed at all. Don't worry, I will take care of this matter."
Shen Ruolan saw that he was full of confidence. She looked at him curiously and asked, "Then how are you going to deal with this?"
Jiang Dichen was silent for a moment and said, "I'll tell you later."
This is the imperial palace, it's not convenient to talk.
Shen Ruolan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
The two of them rested well and were about to get up and leave when they saw Jiang Qing walking towards them from the opposite side. He smiled and asked them, "Fifth brother, Ruolan, what happened to you?"
Shen Ruo quickly stood up and bowed to him, saying, "I greet your Highness the Crown Prince."
"Brother." Jiang Dichen called out to Jiang Qing and said nothing else.
Jiang Qing nodded to Jiang Dichen and asked Shen Ruolan with concern: "Ruolan, how is your injury?"
After he finished speaking, he explained to Shen Ruolan: "When you got into trouble, I had to go back to Beijing for something urgent, so I couldn't go look for you. I'm really sorry."
Shen Ruolan said to Jiang Qing with a distant look: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I'm fine."
Jiang Dichen saw that Jiang Qing had never taken his eyes off Shen Ruolan since he arrived, which instantly made him unhappy. He took Shen Ruolan's hand and said, "Ruolan, let's go. The child should come find us."
Shen Ruolan didn't want to stay in the palace for a moment. After hearing what Jiang Dichen said, she nodded and said, "Okay."
After saying that, she said to Jiang Qing, "I will not bother His Royal Highness the Crown Prince any more. I will leave first."
When Jiang Qing saw Shen Ruolan leaving, he couldn't help but follow her and shouted, "Hey, Ruolan..."
Jiang Dichen saw this and suddenly stopped, turned around and said to him coldly: "Brother, Ruolan is my woman, please be careful about your words and actions and how you address her."
Before he was not in the mountains, he seduced Ruolan all day long, but now he is so unruly in front of him. Does she really think that Jiang Dichen is good-tempered?
Jiang Qing looked at Jiang Dichen, who was full of jealousy. He touched his nose and said, "Fifth brother, Ruolan and I are old friends, so there is nothing wrong with calling her by her name."
Jiang Dichen said to him with a mocking look on his face: "Really? Are you the kind of friend who abandons his savior when he is in trouble?"
"If you are such a friend, then it is better not to have one."
Jiang Dichen finished speaking and said to Shen Ruolan: "Ruolan, let's go."
Shen Ruolan glanced at Jiang Qing and left with Jiang Dichen.
Jiang Dichen's words made Jiang Qing feel a little embarrassed. He wanted to explain to Shen Ruolan that he was not that kind of person, but Jiang Dichen didn't give him a chance. He could only watch Shen Ruolan's departing back and fell into deep thought.
Du Fang beside him whispered, "Master, we should go in."
Jiang Qing retracted his gaze, nodded to his subordinates, and walked into his father's study.
Not long after, a roar came from the emperor's study: "Father, that woman was clearly given to Jiang Dichen by you, why do you want me to marry her?"
That’s right, after Jiang Dichen was unwilling to marry Liu Meizhao, the emperor had to turn his attention to his eldest son, because among the many princes of marriageable age, he was the only one who did not have a wife.
The emperor knew that this was a bit unfair to his eldest son, so he said to him after a moment of silence, "The fifth son has been bewitched by Shen Ruolan and refuses to marry. Now you are the only one without a wife and children, so I have to let you down."
The emperor doesn't want to take back what he has said, otherwise where would he put his face and dignity?
So, no matter which son it is, as long as he marries the girl, it will be fine.
Jiang Qing said with a gloomy face: "Father, I don't want things that others have thrown away, so you should find another way to deal with this matter."
After saying this, he bowed to his father and said, "Father, I am not feeling well. I will take my leave now."
After Jiang Qing finished speaking, he turned around and walked out without waiting for the emperor to speak.
The emperor looked at his disobedient sons and was so angry that his face turned blue. He angrily said to Eunuch Li: "Eunuch Li, tell me, am I too old and useless?"
Otherwise, why would all his sons stop listening to him?
Eunuch Li smiled and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, who said that? You look much younger than those men in their prime."
After the emperor heard what Eunuch Li said, he stood up and sighed, "You are the only one who can make me happy."
After saying this, he said to Eunuch Li: "Come on, let's go to the Imperial Garden to get some fresh air."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Li finished speaking and shouted, "Set up the Imperial Garden!"
Jiang Dichen brought Shen Ruolan out of the palace. He did not rush to take her back to the villa, but took her shopping on the streets of the capital again.
Jiang Dichen pointed at the dazzling array of things on the street and asked Shen Ruolan, "Ruolan, do you want to buy anything from these things?"
Shen Ruolan looked in the direction Jiang Dichen pointed and saw that they were all children's toys. She picked out a wooden rabbit, looked at it and said to Jiang Dichen, "This little rabbit is very delicately made. An He will definitely like it."
Jiang Dichen heard that his daughter liked it, so he waved his hand and ordered his subordinates, "Come here, pay."
Shen Ruolan quickly stopped him and said, "Wait."
After she finished speaking, she saw Jiang Dichen looking at her with a puzzled look on his face. She smiled at him and said, "Pick one for your son too."
