Chapter 95 New Year's Eve

In the outer hall, she took off her cloak to keep out the cold. The Queen Mother did not know that Jiang Changning was not wearing the pheasant fur she had rewarded yesterday, but this did not prevent the Queen Mother from talking about it.

"The pheasant fur is golden and green, and the green color is shining. Only Chun'an can wear it to be dazzling."

"My mother has given me something as a reward, so I can't be stingy. I have a piece of white fox fur and give it to Chun'an as well." The emperor took the opportunity to say.

Pheasant fur is made from the most beautiful feathers on a pheasant's head and is very precious.

White fox fur is more precious than pheasant fur, and is made from the armpit hairs of many foxes.

Thunder, rain, and dew are all gifts from the emperor. On this occasion, Prince Jin and Jiang Changning could not refuse, but could only smile and thank them.

Coming out of Fushou Palace, Prince Jin and Jiang Changning looked as usual, a bit unfazed.

Qiao said with a bit of envy: "The pheasant fur is already a rare thing, and the white fox fur is worth thousands of gold."

Prince Jin and Jiang Changning did not say anything, but the concubine said displeasedly: "You are short-sighted and ignorant. The pheasant fur is just made of pheasant feathers. No matter how good the white fox fur is, can it be better than the sable fur?"

Sable fur is the king of furs, and the concubine has a sable fur, which was given to her by the old King of Jin.

Mrs. Qiao lowered her head after being scolded, but she was dissatisfied. How many people can wear sable fur?

When they arrived at the palace gate, the concubine still said angrily: "Those who don't have family background are just petty."

A smile flashed across Jiang Changning's lips, and he stepped forward to support the concubine, "What great insights can young people have? I need more advice from my mother and concubine to avoid making a joke. If there is no concubine in charge of this house, I don't know what will happen.

What kind of chaos is this?"

"Mother, what the princess said is exactly what the son wanted to say." King Jin agreed.

The concubine was coaxed by the couple and her anger turned into happiness. She smiled and said, "Your wife is very good."

Yesterday, the Queen Mother gave Jiang Changning a pheasant-head fur coat. She thought she would wear it when she came to the palace today to attend the congratulatory party, but Jiang Changning did not have it. This shows that Jiang Changning may not even look down on the pheasant-head fur coat.

No matter how precious the pheasant fur is, it cannot change the fact that it is made from the hair on the head of a wild duck.

Wild duck head, wild girl.

Girls from aristocratic families don't know how to wear pheasant-head furs. That is to say, it is only those who are ignorant who regard pheasant-head furs as a treasure.

Mrs. Qiao glanced at King Jin with an aggrieved look. King Jin didn't pay attention, but Jiang Changning did.

The concubine sat in the car. Jiang Changning deliberately walked past Mrs. Qiao and said quickly: "Sister-in-law is shameless, and the palace still wants her."

Ms. Qiao was shocked, what did Ms. Jiang mean?

Jiang Changning didn't care how frightened she was, and held the maid's hand to get into the carriage.

Return to the palace and go back to each courtyard.

Looking at the box containing the white fox fur, Jiang Changning said with disgust: "Lock the things in the box and don't mention it in front of me."

Xiulan carried the box and went out. Jiang Changning was still angry. He picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Ah, poof, it's so hot."

"Let me take a look, but I'm burned." King Jin came over and said.

Jiang Changning stuck out his tongue, and Prince Jin looked at it carefully, "Fortunately, it was only red and not blistered."

"Even tea is bullying me." Jiang Changning said angrily.

"Don't be angry, there's nothing to be angry about with this dog." King Jin coaxed softly.

Jiang Changning snorted coldly, "Such a bitch is worthy of being the king of a country."

A cold light flashed in King Jin's eyes. Such a dog was indeed unworthy of being the king of a country.

The couple changed their clothes and went to Liuxuan Courtyard to pay New Year's greetings to the concubine.

Going to the palace to pay congratulations is the country, and returning home to pay New Year greetings to the dowager is home.

The country is organized by rank, and the family is organized by age.

Although He Lianyao is gone, his widow is still there.

Mr. Qiao knelt down and kowtowed, "My daughter-in-law pays New Year greetings to my mother and concubine. I wish her a happy New Year and all the best."

The concubine snorted softly, took a red envelope from the tray and handed it to her, "Get up."

"Thank you, concubine." Mrs. Qiao took the red envelope with both hands, stood up and stepped aside.

King Jin and Jiang Changning knelt in front of the concubine together. King Jin smiled and said: "My son has paid New Year's greetings to his mother and concubine. I wish my concubine a happy new year, peace and health."

Jiang Changning said with a smile: "My daughter-in-law pays New Year greetings to her mother and concubine, and wishes her mother and concubine good luck in the new year. There are no taboos, five blessings, wealth and good fortune."

"Okay, okay, I also wish you good luck and happiness." The concubine cheerfully took four red envelopes with gold on them and handed them to the two of them.

Mrs. Qiao squeezed the red envelope in her hand. She was also her daughter-in-law, but the concubine treated her differently. It was too much!

You don't even need to look inside, just the outer shell. There is a difference. The one given to her is for the servants, while the one given to Jiang Changning is for the distinguished guests.

Prince Jin and Jiang Changning took the red envelopes and stood up to leave. Princess Kangren stepped forward to pay New Year's greetings.

The concubine had no objection to her only grandchild, so she also gave her a big red envelope with gold on a red background, "I hope that next year, one more grandchild will come to me for a red envelope."

King Jin smiled, "Mother, my son will work hard."

Jiang Changning remained silent, lowering his head and pretending to be shy.

Then the stewards of the mansion came in to pay New Year's greetings to the masters, and while the servants were waiting, they kowtowed at the courtyard gate.

Several masters gave these people rewards respectively, and after the servants left, they sat with the concubine for a while.

The concubine, who had gotten up early for two days in a row and stayed up late yesterday, wanted to catch up on her sleep and sent them away.

Returning to Ruyi Courtyard, I had just sat down in the Nuan Pavilion, without even taking a sip of tea, when Fangju came in and reported, "The prince, the princess, Mrs. Park, Aunt Liu, and Miss Chen are here to pay New Year's greetings to the prince and princess."

Jiang Changning lowered his head and looked at the jade bracelet on his wrist. The texture was delicate, transparent, and the color was vivid. It was a truly beautiful jade flawless.

Prince Jin looked at her and when he saw that she was silent, he suddenly smiled and said, "Let them come in."

Not only the Pu family, Liu family and Chen Yi came, but also the two maids Lutao and Yingqiao who had never appeared in front of Jiang Changning, as well as the ten beauties from Annan Kingdom.

More than a dozen people all entered the Nuan Pavilion, and the small Nuan Pavilion was suddenly overcrowded.

Jiang Changning's eyes fell on Lu Tao. She was the oldest among several concubines and had a delicate appearance.

After they respectfully paid New Year's greetings to her and King Jin, Jiang Changning gave him a seat and asked with a smile: "Is the injury on Miss Chen's leg healed?"

Chen Yi stood up and said: "In reply to the princess..."

"Sit down and talk, you don't have to be so formal." Jiang Changning said with a smile.

Chen Yi sat down again, "The injury on my leg has healed."

"That's good. Then choose a day to serve me tea and fulfill this title." Jiang Changning turned to look at Prince Jin, "Your Majesty, can you choose a day?"

King Jin met her clear eyes and asked with a smile: "Do you really want me to choose the date?"

"The prince is taking a concubine. Of course, the prince will decide the date. What if the prince doesn't like the date of choosing the concubine?" Jiang Changning said.

King Jin pondered for a moment, "Then it will be the eighth day of the lunar month."

"Okay, I'll let someone arrange it." Jiang Changning didn't bother to lecture or say some virtuous words to gain favor in front of Prince Jin, "Do you have anything to say, Your Majesty?"

Since these concubines did not come to pay New Year greetings, King Jin almost forgot about them. Naturally, he had nothing to say to his concubines and shook his head.
