Chapter 54 Tea
Hearing what the two said, the Queen Mother twitched her lips and said, "I feel relieved that you get along so well. I'm afraid that I might mess up the relationship and become a bitter couple."
"Your Majesty, you have a unique discernment, comparable to Yue Lao Matchmaker, and everything she points out is a good match." King Jin said with a smile.
"We will not let down your Majesty's expectations, and we will get along well with each other." Jiang Changning said respectfully.
The Queen Mother did not believe a word of what the couple said, but she had a happy smile on her face.
The three of them chatted for a while, and the Queen Mother rewarded the two with a bunch of things. The two thanked them and left the palace to return to the palace.
In the palace, Princess Jin, wearing a sapphire blue Baizi Qianqiu coat, was sitting upright with a calm expression on her face.
Mr. Qiao, who was sitting aside, looked at her and then at her.
She originally thought that the concubine would embarrass Ms. Jiang and make Ms. Jiang kneel down and beg before she came out to drink this cup of daughter-in-law tea, but she didn't expect the concubine to be waiting here early.
You must know that the concubine has always looked down on people with humble backgrounds. She has never liked her and the Park family. She thinks that her ancestors are from a blacksmith background and that the Pu family's ancestors are from a farming family.
In the words of the concubine, "No matter how much you wash, you can't get rid of the muddy smell all over your body."
The concubine would treat Ms. Jiang differently because she is also a daughter of an aristocratic family?
A declining aristocratic family is like a fallen phoenix, not worth mentioning.
"It's already the right time, why haven't you returned home yet? Could it be that the Queen Mother has left a meal?" Qiao said deliberately.
The concubine snorted coldly and her face darkened.
At this time, the maid came in and reported, "His Majesty, the prince and the princess have returned to the house."
"Even if that fox doesn't understand the rules, my son won't be rude either." The concubine glanced sideways at Mrs. Qiao.
Mrs. Qiao raised the corners of her lips. The concubine didn't like Mr. Jiang either. Otherwise, why would she call Ms. Jiang a fox?
However, Mrs. Qiao misunderstood. The concubine did not like Jiang Changning, but Hu Meizi was not scolding her, but the queen mother.
The concubine and the queen mother never really had any bad relations, they just disliked each other.
A quarter of an hour later, Prince Jin, who had changed into cyan uniforms, walked in with Jiang Changning, who was wearing a red embroidered peony dress with wide sleeves.
Mrs. Qiao took a breath and was surprised by Jiang Changning's beauty.
He has a golden hairpin on his head and a jade-green garland on his waist.
Pearls are intertwined with jade bodies, and corals are intertwined with trees.
Luo Yi is fluttering, and the light train is carried far away by the wind.
I look forward to the glorious legacy, and my roar is like an orchid.
The concubine said she was a fox, and she was right.
"I have seen my mother and concubine, and I have kept her waiting for a long time. My son and your daughter-in-law will serve you tea." King Jin said with a smile.
"Okay." No matter how much the concubine dislikes Jiang Changning, she will not deny her son face.
One maid came over with two futons, and another maid brought tea on a tray.
King Jin knelt down first, and Jiang Changning knelt down next to him.
"Concubine, please have tea." Prince Jin took the teacup from the tray and brought it to the concubine.
"Good boy." The concubine smiled and took the cup, took a sip of tea, put the cup on the table, picked up the red envelope she had prepared and handed it to King Jin.
"Thank you, concubine." Prince Jin took it with both hands.
Jiang Changning took the tea cup and offered it to the concubine, "Mother, please have tea."
"Be good." The concubine took the cup with dignity and took a sip of tea.
Mrs. Qiao gritted her teeth and tightened her jawline. When she got married, the concubine did not drink her tea.
The fact that the concubine drank this tea to save face was all the result of King Jin.
After serving tea to Princess Jin, Jiang Changning took the tray handed over by Xiulan, with clothes, shoes and socks on it.
The concubine picked up the shoes and looked at them. The stitching was so fine that no threads could be seen. "The female dress is not bad." She praised it, but she felt that this was not Jiang Changning's craftsmanship.
Jiang Changning sewed a few stitches at the end of this set of clothes, shoes and socks, and expressed his meaning, "Thank you for your compliments."
"Since you have married into the royal palace, you should abide by the ways of a woman and provide your husband with a long line of heirs." The concubine motioned to the maid to bring over the tray.
"My daughter-in-law will obey the teachings of my mother and concubine." Jiang Changning reached out and took the small tray, which contained the meeting gift given to her by the concubine.
Next, it’s time to meet Mr. Qiao.
Among peers, there is no need to kneel down, and King Jin does not need to salute Mrs. Qiao, "Princess, this is my sister-in-law."
Jiang Changning brought a cup of tea and said, "Sister-in-law."
Mrs. Qiao twitched her lips, half-smiling, took the tea cup, put it aside without drinking, took the red envelope, "We will get along well in the future."
If it weren't for the plate of fried leek dumplings in the morning, Jiang Changning might have believed her words. Now, he didn't believe a word of it and said with a fake smile: "We will definitely get along well."
Then Princess Kangren came to visit her uncle and aunt. The meeting gifts Jiang Changning prepared for her were a pair of jade bracelets and a jade pendant carved with a Ruyi boy.
Jade bracelets are better than jade in quality, while jade pendants have good meanings.
The child holds it as he wishes, and grows as he wishes.
"Thank you, aunt." Princess Kangren's eyes were heavy and her expression was indifferent.
Jiang Changning smiled and said, "No thanks."
After the tea ceremony, King Jin and the concubine said a few more words of concern before taking Jiang Changning back to the courtyard.
When he reached the entrance of the courtyard, King Jin stopped and said, "Ning Ning, give us a name for the courtyard where we live."
When Jiang Changning came back earlier, he had noticed that the plaque on the courtyard door was blank, "What was the original name of this courtyard?"
"This is a new courtyard." Prince Jin looked at her with soft eyes, "Our new courtyard."
Jiang Changning did not understand the deep meaning of King Jin's words. She would be careful when naming her maid, and the name was simple and straightforward.
Baogeju is derived from the word "guest residence". However, as long as she did not divorce or divorce, she would live in this courtyard for the rest of her life, so she had to give it a nice name.
Jiang Changning pondered for a moment and asked with a smile: "How good is Rujingyuan?"
Not to mention that King Jin had hired an imperial physician for her before and the eldest princess of Jiashan for her. Just last night, he treated her so gently that it was easy for others to fall for her.
But he is a prince, and he has several rooms for concubines and a lady waiting to come in.
She cannot be let down. Her heart is extremely precious and cannot be handed over easily.
Keep your mind like a mirror, it will look like a mountain, it will look like a water, it will not change when the environment changes.
"The stream is as clear and level as a mirror, and a leaf flies in and the waves grow softly." The king of Jin was thinking about this poem.
Jiang Changning followed his intention and said with a smile: "I just crossed the small bridge and there was a stream on the bridge, so I thought of it."
"This is a very good name." King Jin smiled.
"Can I ask the prince for a calligraphy treasure?" Jiang Changning asked with a smile.
"The prince doesn't have any calligraphy, but your husband can write one for you."
"Is it good for me to be my husband?"
"What I wish for."
The couple chatted and laughed as they entered the yard and entered the study together.
The furnishings of the study room are very particular. In addition to pens, ink, paper, and inkstones, there are also ink pads, water drops, pen holders, ink cartridges, pen curtains, pen holders, pen rests, etc.
There is a pot of Asparagus bamboo placed on the high table, which is lush and green.
