Poor Family: I reached the top by marrying a wife

Chapter 455: Lustful? I'm afraid he's not good!

"A letter from the Xu family?"

The girl in the white dress frowned slightly and reached out to take the letter.

However, after opening the letter, the girl was shocked!

"She's still alive!?"

"How can this be!?"

"If she is still alive, why doesn't she come back?"

"No, she must still be alive, but..."

The girl in the white dress was stunned!

But if people who are familiar with the girl in the white dress saw her like this, they would be even more shocked!

Because this girl hasn't been like this for a long time!

The last time this girl acted like this was the night when the previous emperor passed away and the princes fought for the throne...

At noon the next day, Jiang Chen led the team to the gate of the capital!

At this time, officials from the Ministry of Rites were already at the gate of the capital city, preparing for the welcoming ceremony!

With the appearance of Jiang Chen, the welcoming ceremony officially began!

In an instant, gongs and drums sounded!

Jiang Chen rode a horse and walked at the front of the team!

"Welcome Lord Jiang back from disaster relief!"

"Congratulations, Lord Jiang, the disaster relief effort was a success!"

"Congratulations, Lord Jiang!"

A team of officials from the Ministry of Rites rushed out with smiles on their faces.

When Jiang Chen saw these officials, he quickly dismounted from his horse.

"I have met you sirs!"

"Your Excellency is too kind! We are unworthy of your words!"

The officials of the Ministry of Rites hurriedly returned the greeting to Jiang Chen.

This Jiang Chen looks younger than they imagined!

No wonder Cai Jing was so alert!

"My Lords, Jiang has no official position and now only has the empty title of a marquis, so I should naturally respect you, my Lords!"

"I don't know, how will you all arrange for me?"

Jiang Chen asked politely.

He already knew that someone in the capital was plotting against him, so he had to be careful about everything!

……

"Lord Jiang, His Majesty has issued an order to grant you a mansion in recognition of your contribution to disaster relief!"

"We'll take you there later!"

"As for the meeting with the Emperor, His Majesty will choose a time to summon you!"

"Now, Lord Jiang, please come with us!"

The Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites said with a smile.

"In that case, thank you very much, sir!"

Jiang Chen bowed respectfully to the Right Vice Minister of Rites, and then followed him away.

There are only about thirty followers behind him now, and there is a carriage with Zhihua and Zhirou sitting in it.

As for Su Yue, Jiang Chen had already sent someone to send her back to Luzhou County.

Compared to the capital, Luzhou County is safer!

"Lord Jiang, let's say goodbye now. We'll meet again in the capital if we're lucky!"

Han Peng said goodbye to Jiang Chen reluctantly.

Although they had not met for a long time, he admired Jiang Chen very much!

"Commander Han, we will all be in the capital from now on, so we will definitely see each other often!"

"Let's say goodbye now!"

Jiang Chen clasped his fists and bowed to Han Peng, then walked into the capital.

Han Peng returned to the palace with the imperial guards.

But as soon as Han Peng arrived at the palace, he was summoned by Emperor Dajing!

This made Han Peng look confused.

I thought, isn’t Emperor Dajing busy?

If he was not busy, he should summon Jiang Chen, the great contributor, first. How could he summon him?

With doubts, Han Peng came to the imperial study.

"I pay my respects to your Majesty!"

Han Peng saluted respectfully to Emperor Dajing!

"Well, no need to be polite, just stand up!"

Emperor Dajing said calmly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Han Peng stood up after hearing what Emperor Dajing said.

……

"Commander Han, you followed Marquis Jingyuan on this disaster relief mission. I'm sure you saw all the details of Marquis Jingyuan's disaster relief efforts, right?"

"Your Majesty! I have seen everything! Lord Jiang is truly a god. He prayed for rain and ended the drought!"

Han Peng said with envy.

But when Emperor Dajing heard this, a hint of displeasure flashed across his face!

"Commander Han, are you saying that Marquis Jingyuan's prayer for rain really happened?"

"Tell me the details of his prayer for rain!"

"Your Majesty, it is true that Marquis Jingyuan prayed for rain!"

"At the beginning, Marquis Jingyuan built a rain-praying platform, holding the sword bestowed upon him by His Majesty, pointing the sword at the sky, and shouting for the rain to come!"

"Then, the storm came!"

"Marquis Jingyuan said that he himself does not have this ability, and this is all due to the merit of your majesty's sword!"

"Because that sword carries the might of His Majesty's dragon!"

"That's why I can call the wind and rain!"

Han Peng said this with a respectful look on his face.

And these words were also instilled in him by Jiang Chen recently!

Because Jiang Chen knew that after Han Peng returned to the palace, he would be the first to be questioned by Emperor Dajing!

"Is it because of my sword?"

Emperor Dajing's eyes lit up with joy!

If that's the case, that's easy to say!

"Your Majesty, this is what Marquis Jingyuan said!" Han Peng said respectfully.

"Yes, I understand."

"By the way, I heard that the Eighth Sage King tried to win over Marquis Jingyuan. Is this true?"

Emperor Dajing asked again.

"Your Majesty, it is true!"

"Because Marquis Jingyuan likes beautiful women, the Eighth Sage King gave the most beautiful courtesan in Suzhou City to Marquis Jingyuan!"

"But Marquis Jingyuan has always adhered to his original intention and ignored the Eighth Sage King's recruitment!"

"In order to prevent the Eighth Sage King from assassinating him, he has been under the protection of the Royal Guards!"

"In my humble opinion, Marquis Jingyuan will never surrender to the Eighth Wise King!" Han Peng said respectfully.

……

"Marquis Jingyuan, do you like beautiful women?"

Emperor Dajing was even more surprised!

He is not afraid that his subjects have no weaknesses, but he is afraid that his subjects want nothing!

Now Jiang Chen is lustful, so why not say it!

As long as Jiang Chen works hard for him, he will give Jiang Chen countless beauties!

"Your Majesty, Marquis Jingyuan... is indeed lustful. Of the three most beautiful women in Jiangnan, he... brought two of them..." Han Peng said awkwardly.

He didn't know whether he was saying bad things about Jiang Chen.

But since their Majesty asked, he could only tell the truth!

"Hahaha, that's fine. If a man doesn't indulge himself in romance when young, he will live his youth in vain!"

"Since Marquis Jingyuan likes beautiful women, I will satisfy him!"

"There is no shortage of beauties in Dajing!"

"Commander Han, you've been very tired recently in Jiangnan. I'll give you five days to go back and rest!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Han Peng was filled with gratitude.

Five days of rest is already a lot for the guards.

After all, the Imperial Guards are there to protect His Majesty the Emperor personally!

After Han Peng left, Emperor Dajing felt much more relaxed!

Jiang Chen is also a human being and has weaknesses!

Moreover, Jiang Chen used his sword to pray for rain, which proved that Jiang Chen had him in his heart!

The more Emperor Dajing thought about it, the happier he became.

However, Emperor Dajing was at a loss as to what kind of reward to give Jiang Chen.

Military generals, absolutely not!

So as to avoid becoming self-reliant.

What about promotion of title?

Marquis Jingyuan has no fiefdom!

Otherwise, how about giving Jiang Chen some fiefdom as a reward?

As for the official position...if it doesn't work, how about changing to a civil servant?

Just when Emperor Dajing was thinking hard, Cai Jing came!

"Your Majesty! I heard that Marquis Jingyuan has returned to the capital, so I came to see Your Majesty!"

"Regarding the position of Marquis Jingyuan, I have some suggestions!"

"Um!?"
