Chapter 126: Corruption
King Jin frowned when he saw Imperial Physician Xue and Chun Lai accompanying him, "Master Xue, what disease does my princess have?"
"Prince, please rest assured, the princess is just suffering from a weak fire, nothing serious." Doctor Xue said with a smile.
"That's good." King Jin felt relieved and nodded to Dr. Xue, "Thank you."
"Your Majesty, you are welcome, this is the duty of a lower official." Doctor Xue said with a smile.
King Jin did not bother to be polite to him anymore, and went directly into the palace and returned to Rujingyuan.
When he entered the room, he saw his little princess reading a storybook and eating melon seeds. "You are getting angry and you are eating this. You are not allowed to eat it."
"I'm not suffering from internal heat, I just asked Dr. Xue to diagnose me as having internal heat." Jiang Changning put the bookmark away and said.
"Why?" King Jin asked curiously.
"Princess Yu sent an invitation and invited me to enjoy the flowers. I don't want to go, so I'll just pretend to be sick." Jiang Changning said with a blunt smile.
King Jin became even more curious, "Why?"
The housewife likes to hold flower viewing feasts and tea tasting parties the most. Why is his little princess so special?
"There is a gap between me and her. She must have bad intentions when she invites me to a flower viewing party. Now that she is pregnant with a child, if something happens to her at the party, she will frame me and say she has an upset stomach.
If I see red, then I’m not in big trouble.”
The inner residence of Prince Jin's Mansion is relatively clean, and there are relatively few dirty things happening, but Prince Jin has not never heard of people using children to frame others.
But this matter usually happens between wives and concubines in the same house, or between sisters-in-law.
"She shouldn't be like this. After all, this is her first child. If she gives birth to a boy, he will be the crown prince of Prince Yu."
"I don't care about her. I keep a distance from her." Jiang Changning looked at King Jin, "Yong Zhou, I want to give birth to a daughter for the first time, wouldn't you like it?"
"As long as they are born to you, I like both sons and daughters." King Jin said with a smile.
Jiang Changning smiled. She was satisfied with King Jin's answer, but she didn't want to delve into the authenticity of this sentence.
Three days later, the flower viewing banquet at Prince Yu's Mansion was ushered in. In addition to Jiang Changning, other guests included Crown Princess De, Princess Xu of Prince Qing's Palace, Crown Princess Ding and other royal wives.
Princess Ningxia's absence was expected, but Princess Jin didn't come either, so people couldn't help but ask.
"I sent an invitation to Princess Jin, but Princess Jin was ill and couldn't come to the banquet." After Zhao Xifang explained, she added, "The second mistress of Wuchang Bo Mansion said that when Princess Jin was a girl, she had such a weak body
He's just weak, I think it was a disease brought from his mother's womb, so he needs to rest more."
"Diseases brought from the mother's womb are difficult to treat. No wonder she's not pregnant yet even half a year after getting married." Mrs. Xu took the opportunity to add insult to injury.
"I see that Princess Jin's complexion is quite good. She doesn't seem to have any deficiencies. Whether or not she has children depends on fate." Princess De's wife was impressed by Jiang Changning and spoke for her.
"Perhaps there will be good news from the Jin Palace in a few days." Prince Changshan's concubine, who was on good terms with Prince Deok's concubine, echoed her words.
Zhao Xifang glanced at the two of them and said: "Princess Jin and I participated in the talent show together, and got married one after another. Now that I'm pregnant, I thought about letting her come over to share the joy."
"My cousin means well, but it's a pity." Mrs. Xu laughed in a sinister way.
The Crown Princess of Prince De frowned, and Mrs. Xu seemed to have a strong opinion of Princess Jin.
Ordinarily, they don't have much contact with each other.
Could it be that something unknown happened between them?
"I hope she will get well soon and invite her to enjoy the flowers again if there is a chance." Zhao Xifang said with a smile.
When I first heard this, there was nothing wrong with it, but upon closer inspection, it became intriguing.
They were all people from the royal circle, few of them were simple people, and everyone could hear the malice in their words.
Princess De Wang said somewhat unhappily: "Okay, Princess Jin is not here, so don't talk about her, so as not to prevent others from misunderstanding that we are a bunch of villains who love to gossip behind other people's backs."
"Let's just enjoy the flowers." Prince Changshan said helpfully.
"Cut the paintings and ask them to bring the flowers." Zhao Xifang looked at the two of them, her eyes slightly focused. Jiang Changning was really quite capable, and he actually managed to win over these two people.
After admiring flowers and having a luncheon at Prince Yu's Mansion, Crown Princess De made excuses and left Prince Yu's Mansion.
After thinking about it, Crown Princess De decided to pay a visit to Prince Jin's Mansion.
"The Princess of Prince De is here?" Jiang Changning was a little stunned when he heard the announcement.
When a high-ranking family comes to visit, they will send greetings a day in advance. Did this happen suddenly? Did something happen?
Jiang Changning quickly changed his clothes and went to Zhengzeyuan to meet the guests.
When Princess De Wang saw Jiang Changning, she asked directly: "Sister-in-law, have you ever offended Princess Yu and the Xu family?"
"Why did they say bad things about me at the flower viewing party?" Jiang Changning asked with a smile.
"I'll tell you exactly what happened." Crown Prince De's concubine told her what happened at the flower viewing banquet.
Jiang Changning asked with a smile: "Last year, when the King of Ningxia got married, the Princess of Ningxia fainted on the wedding sedan, do you still remember it?"
"Remember, how could I not remember this once-in-a-hundred-year event?" Princess Dewang said with a smile.
"Everyone thinks that Princess Yu did this. Princess Yu refuses to admit it. If she doesn't admit it, just admit it. She insists on diverting the trouble and putting this blame on my head. She wants Princess Ningxia to cause trouble for me. But she doesn't want to admit it.
Princess Ningxia is not a fool, so on the day of Laba Festival, Princess Ningxia came to settle accounts with her."
After hearing this, the Crown Princess of De suddenly realized, "This Princess Yu is still some kind of talented woman. With her character, oh my, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk."
Jiang Changning continued: "As for the Xu family, I have not offended her, but the Duke of Wei's palace has always been close to the Zhao family, and she will definitely be Princess Yu's pawn."
"That's why you didn't go to her flower viewing party."
"She is pregnant and precious. I don't dare to have a verbal argument with her. If I get angry with her and make her angry, how can I compensate her for the baby?"
"That makes sense. I also need to stay away from her, so as not to eat the mutton and get into trouble." Princess De Wang said.
"Suiyan, thank you very much." Jiang Changning smiled.
"Why are you so polite? Who made us feel like old friends at first sight?"
"You came just in time. Fresh fruits and vegetables were delivered from the village in the morning. I am sending people to deliver them to your house. You can take them back with you now."
"I prefer your good stuff again."
Jiang Changning asked his servants to carry a basket of fruits and vegetables onto the carriage of Crown Princess De, and sent her outside the Yimen. He watched her get on the carriage before returning to Rujingyuan.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Jiang Changning's face darkened. Zhao Xifang was pregnant and could not move. Mrs. Xu's foul mouth needed to be washed.
In the next few days, Jiang Changning was preparing a medicine that could make people temporarily lose their voice.
