Chapter 119 Sending a Concubine
"The fairy is very affectionate, and the little king has suffered." King Jin hugged the man into his arms, "I wonder how the fairy can enlighten the little king?"
"I'll give you the immortal energy with my mouth." Jiang Changning leaned forward and kissed him.
"Little Wang is stupid, one breath of immortal energy is not enough, he needs more." King Jin happily deepened the kiss.
After the couple talked nonsense about morality and Buddhism, Jiang Changning asked Xiulan to take the sign and ordered a doctor to come into the house to see the injuries of the two beauties.
The beauty was not qualified to hire an imperial physician for treatment, so she could only hire a doctor from outside. If the fight between two concubines in the Jin Palace spread out, it would inevitably spread.
In the eyes of some people, this means that Jiang Changning cannot control the concubines in his house, and is a coward and incompetent person. They have completely forgotten that Jiang Changning had previously expelled a concubine to Zhuangzi.
So that day, the yamen of the Ministry of Rites was found in the suburbs of the valley, and on the pretext of having something to do, they invited King Jin to a restaurant for a drink.
King Jin was invited to go, and when he entered the door, he saw that in addition to the suburbs in the valley, there was also a middle-aged man and a beautiful girl.
"Your Majesty, Chen Daochang, has met with the prince and wishes him well." Chen Daochang was the fifth-rank doctor in the former Ministry of Punishment.
His father died three years ago, and he stayed at home to observe mourning. Now that the period of mourning has expired, he has no way to seek reinstatement, so he spent a lot of money to find help in the valley.
That beautiful girl is his second daughter Chen Dingding, and she is also the gift he plans to give to King Jin.
It was not difficult for the King of Jin to resurrect a fifth-rank official, but the King of Jin did not want to accept his gift.
"The princess doesn't like the smell of wine all over my body, so I won't have to drink this wine." King Jin refused Chen Dingjing to pour him wine, "If you have something to do, just say it."
Hearing that King Jin used the princess as an excuse, Gu Zhongjiao and Chen Daochang didn't believe it, but they couldn't expose him.
Chen Daochang winked and asked Chen Dingding to put down the wine bottle and stay quietly aside.
He expressed his loyalty to the King of Jin, saying, "Although I am a low-ranking official, I have no great talents, but I can still make use of them. I am willing to serve the prince."
There are so many people in the capital who want to serve King Jin, but King Jin's expression has not changed.
"Your Majesty, speaking of which, Brother Pinglun also came from the imperial examination. He also rode horses in the streets back then. He served as a county magistrate and solved several major cases." Gu Zhongjiao said helpfully.
"It turns out that Mr. Chen is a master of criminal investigation." King Jin said while turning his board.
"It doesn't matter whether you take it or not, you will be lucky even if you get an official position." Chen Daochang smiled modestly.
King Jin asked calmly: "It is logically easy for a criminal investigation expert like you to return to the Ministry of Punishment. Why can't you be reinstated?"
Chen Daochang sighed, "To be honest with the prince, I was walking around, but just when the official department was about to issue an official document, I was stopped by the Crown Prince of Wei."
The King of Jin narrowed his eyes slightly. It is likely that not many people knew about his grudge against the Duke of Wei, but he could not be sure that the news was not leaked at all.
What if someone knew about it and used Chen Daochang to set him up?
"Have you ever offended the Duke of Wei?" King Jin asked.
"Xiaguan handled a case four years ago and implicated the brother of a concubine of the Duke of Wei. The man committed a murder and was executed after questioning. The crown prince of Wei blamed Xiaguan for this."
Chen Daochang looked gloomy. He suspected that his father's matter was related to the crown prince of Wei Guogong, but there was no evidence, so he could only keep silent.
"Killing for life, the Crown Prince of Wei really shouldn't be so angry." King Jin commented.
"Beating a dog depends on the owner's face. Although that person is a small person, he is still a person who helps the prince of Wei Guogong. Those who have been demoted have not given the prince Wei's face. It is inevitable that the prince of Wei will hold grudges and be demoted."
The King of Jin smiled, "Since you know what's going on here, why don't you give the Duke of Wei face and let this man go?"
Chen Daochang straightened his body and said solemnly and solemnly: "If a gentleman does something and doesn't do something, he who kills someone should pay with his life."
"A gentleman?" King Jin chuckled and glanced at Chen Dingding, "What happened today is not something a gentleman would do."
"My lord, I don't want to be like this, but I have been forced to do nothing. I have no hope of resurrecting, so I am looking for a way out. Uncle Yongyi fell in love with my daughter and wanted to take her as my concubine, so I helped him to resurrect."
"
"Uncle Yongyi is seventy-two years old this year. He is really getting stronger with age." King Jin said with a smile.
"My little girl is only fifteen years old this year. Even if I want to get back together again, I don't want to let my little girl fall into the pit of fire." Chen Daochang stood up and knelt down.
Chen Dingding also knelt down. If she had to be a concubine, of course she would be willing to be the concubine of the powerful, young and promising King Jin, instead of the old Yongyi Bo.
"I am willing to do my best for the prince and die." Chen Daochang kowtowed three times.
"Your Majesty, my little girl is willing to serve you as a slave and a maid." Chen Dingding reached out and grabbed Prince Jin's sleeve.
"You, father and daughter, get up first." The King of Jin did not fully believe what Chen Daochang said, "I have written this down. I will see if there is any vacancy and let you go. When you get to Uncle Yu Yongyi, I will
Let someone tell him."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty." Chen Daochang thought he was not an official. He didn't care too much. He really didn't want to send his young daughter to be a concubine for the aging Yongyi Bo.
"As for your daughter, there is no shortage of slaves in the palace. You can take her back and find a good family to marry her to." King Jin said.
Seeing that the King of Jin refused to accept Chen Dingding and that Chen Daochang was fine, Chen Dingding's eyes showed deep disappointment.
Being the woman of the Jin Dynasty is what many young girls in the capital look forward to.
At this time, the waiter brought the store's new signature dish: fish fillet with spicy sauce.
Spicy fish fillets, bright in color and fragrant.
Chen Daochang smiled and introduced: "Your Majesty, other places use other wines to make this fragrant rice fish fillet. Only this shop uses authentic fragrant rice wine, Shaoxing old wine, and osmanthus brine.
Yes, it tastes absolutely delicious."
"So, you really need to try this dish." King Jin said with a smile.
The waiter who was following next to me came up to pick up the fish fillets and eat them.
In the previous dynasty, a prince was poisoned to death while having dinner with others in a restaurant. Since then, the royal family and relatives would always bring one or two tasters or servants with them, just in case.
After King Jin tasted it, he felt that the fish fillet with spicy marinade tasted really good, so he decided to find an opportunity to bring Jiang Changning over to try it.
Seeing this, Chen Dingjing recommended another dish to King Jin, "My lord, please try this grilled abalone in the original shell. I heard it is the chef's specialty."
Abalone is one of the treasures of the sea, with tender meat.
The grilled raw shell abalone cooked by the chef tastes great.
In order to show her erudition and talent, she also specially recited Su Dongpo's poem: "The diners are good at managing and recommending the beautiful halls, the carved collars on the seats are shining, the meat and mushrooms are numerous behind the ears, and the fish skins painted with vinegar really lean against the wall."
This poem praises the delicious abalone on the Ludi seaside, and an abalone dish adds luster to the banquet.
After eating abalone, all delicacies are nothing.
"Seafood has a fishy smell and I don't like eating it." King Jin refused coldly.
Chen Daochang shook his head slightly at his daughter, asking her not to offend King Jin again.
Chen Dingding was unwilling to accept her and lowered her head. Why didn't the King of Jin accept her? Isn't she beautiful?
