Chapter 68 Wedding Banquet
Aunt Zhou was gagged and couldn't yell, but Ms. Qiao still knew Jiang Changning's treatment of Ms. Zhou immediately.
"Kick people out of the house and send them to Zhuangzi?" Mrs. Qiao's eyes widened in shock, "Really?"
Is the solution as simple and crude as this?
"The slave girl saw with her own eyes that Chun Lai, who used to work for the prince, had someone force Aunt Zhou and the others into a carriage and take them away," the slave girl said.
Mrs. Qiao was silent for a while, and after a while, she said: "She is really brave."
"Princess..." Mrs. Qiao gave her a cold look and glanced over with murderous intent. The maidservant lowered her head in fear.
The maid standing next to Ms. Qiao said with a smile: "The Lord of Chun'an County relies on pampering to become a spoiled child. The prince will not do anything to her now, but she will be in bad luck in the future."
Mr. Qiao sneered, "How can you serve people for a long time with sex?"
She decided that Jiang Changning, who had no family background to support him, was favored by the King of Jin based on his appearance.
At the beginning of the Youshi period, King Jin returned to his residence, and Mrs. Qiao arranged for someone to wait for him on his way to Liuxuanyuan. "Your Majesty, I have something to report to the county master..."
"Panzui." King Jin interrupted him.
Chang Youzhong stepped forward, raised his palm, and slapped the little waiter three times, "Report it well."
The chamberlain thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, the princess has driven away Aunt Zhou, who is waiting for you, to the village outside the city."
"What does the princess's expulsion of a concubine have to do with you, a slave? What qualifications do you have to question the master's decision? When did the house become so unruly?" King Jin's second question was to Chang Youzhong.
"There are many talkative people in the house, and there are always some villains who refuse to obey the rules." Chang Youzhong said.
"The decline of a government begins with the chaos in the management of the inner house." King Jin said solemnly.
Chang Youzhong glanced at Cao Jiang and said, "It hasn't been long since the princess came in..."
"I don't blame the princess." Of course King Jin knew that the palace minister was still in the hands of the Qiao family.
When they arrived at the Liuxuan Courtyard, the concubine was explaining to Jiang Changning about going to Prince Yu's Mansion tomorrow. When she saw Prince Jin coming in, she burst into laughter and said, "It's early to come back today."
"There is good news in the palace. As soon as your majesty is happy, he will let us out of the palace." King Jin sat down on the chair.
"What good news?" the princess asked.
"It seems that a concubine in the harem is pregnant." King Jin did not inquire too much.
After hearing this, the concubine looked towards Jiang Changning's belly.
Mrs. Qiao smiled and said: "The county master comes in..."
"Sister-in-law." King Jin suddenly called.
Qiao was startled and looked at King Jin.
"She is my wife, the princess of Prince Jin's Mansion." Prince Jin said seriously.
A trace of sadness flashed across Qiao's eyes, and she lowered her head and fell into silence.
Jiang Changning felt keenly the change in Qiao's mood, thoughtfully.
After dinner, King Jin took Jiang Changning back to Rujingyuan.
"Ningning, sister-in-law, are you feeling sorry for you?" King Jin asked.
Jiang Changning smiled, "Yong Zhou, it's common for sisters-in-law to have discord. It's not that she is embarrassing me, but that we are embarrassing each other."
"You won't embarrass others." Prince Jin took her hand and said, "If you have been wronged, tell me."
"Do you want Yong Zhou to help me?" Jiang Changning tilted his head and asked playfully.
"Yes." King Jin replied affirmatively.
"I can handle it now, and I don't need you to step in." Jiang Changning leaned forward and kissed Prince Jin, "But I still have to thank you."
King Jin was surprised by Jiang Changning's initiative and hugged him.
"Yong Zhou, no." Jiang Changning put his little hand on Prince Jin's chest.
"What's wrong?" King Jin was puzzled.
"Did you see the ring on my hand?" Jiang Changning asked.
"Is your letter from Yue here?" King Jin asked.
Jiang Changning nodded, "You can go to Pu's or Liu's place."
"No need." King Jin refused.
Jiang Changning frowned, was this her maid who wanted to sleep with her?
He thought that she didn't want to, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Yong Zhou, I have no plans to marry a maid."
Prince Jin pinched her face lightly and said, "I don't need a maid, you are enough."
Jiang Changning blinked, what did he mean?
A bloody battle?
No!
What Prince Jin meant was to use her little hands to relieve the itch.
When King Jin felt comfortable, Jiang Changning only felt his hands were sore.
The next morning, news came from the palace that the concubine was Lu Xiuju, who was three months pregnant.
As far as Jiang Changning knew, the palace would ask for Ping Anmai every half month, but Lu Xiuju was able to hide it for three months. Only when the fetus was stable did she let everyone know, "She is really quite capable."
Lu Xiuju was promoted half a level. Now she is a fifth-grade beauty, and her title is still Rou.
Since he is not the lord of the first palace, there is no need for foreign wives to enter the palace to congratulate him.
At the end of the day, the concubine took Jiang Changning, Princess Kangren, and Prince Jin to Prince Yu's Mansion.
The auspicious time derived from the birth dates of King Yu and Zhao Xifang is the third quarter of You hour.
Although the weather is good today, it is still dark during the winter time, and Prince Yu's Mansion is decorated with lanterns and colorful lights, making it as bright as day.
Jiang Changning accompanied the concubine in the wedding hall, waiting to watch the ceremony.
Princess Kangren was playing and joking with other young princesses and young masters in the back hall.
At the eleventh hour, firecrackers sounded, and someone outside shouted: "The bride is here! The bride is here!"
The King of Yu did not welcome him in person, but was replaced by officials from the Ministry of Rites.
When the sedan chair came to the door, he went out. The master of ceremonies raised his voice and said: "The groom kicked the sedan door."
Kicking the sedan door was a bit of a show of authority. The King of Jin was personally welcoming the guests, and there was no such process as kicking the sedan door.
The bride stepped over the brazier and was led into the wedding hall by the groom's officials using red silk.
In the wedding hall, there were many people watching the ceremony. Prince Yu's concubine was sitting upright with a smile on her face.
King Yu lost his father when he was young and was almost unable to inherit the title. The life of an orphan and a widower was very difficult.
Now that King Yu has grown up, married a wife and had children, Princess Yu is really happy.
Zhao Xifang is the granddaughter of Princess Wenhe. Princess Wenhe is now a popular person around the Queen Mother. Marrying her granddaughter is equivalent to gaining access to the Queen Mother, which is a good thing for Prince Yu's palace.
The process of getting married is the same, worshiping heaven and earth, worshiping the high hall, and the husband and wife bowing to each other.
Accompanied by the words of the emcee, "Sent into the bridal chamber."
The newlyweds, surrounded by guests, went to their new house.
Jiang Changning originally wanted to sit down at the table later, but Crown Princess De smiled and said: "Princess Jin, let's go to the new house to join in the fun."
Not wanting to refute her face, Jiang Changning told the concubine and followed her to the new house.
In the new house, Prince Yu took the scale from Xi Po, lifted up the red hijab, and revealed Zhao Xifang's shy and coquettish face.
In the presence of all the female relatives, the couple drank a glass of wine and ate half-cooked dumplings...
While Jiang Changning was watching with great interest, Mrs. Xu, the eldest mistress of Prince Qing's palace, walked up to Jiang Changning at some point and whispered: "Princess Jin, please take a step to speak."
Jiang Changning glanced at her, "Do you want to be stuffed with branches again?"
Mrs. Xu's face changed slightly, she licked her lips and said, "Princess Jin, I don't mean any harm."
He plotted against her and almost put her in a place of no return. If there was no malice, then there would be all good people in this world.
Jiang Changning sneered, "We have nothing to say."
"Princess Jin, if you don't go anywhere else, just say a few words outside the new house, okay?" Mrs. Xu begged.
"Okay." Jiang Changning agreed to her, and wanted to hear what kind of flowers she could tell.
