Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Chapter 1 Meeting the Guest
One day in March, a maidservant in blue bijia hurried past the Zhuang's inner house and went straight to Baogeju.

As soon as she entered the door, the maidservant who was netting in the corridor saw her and raised her voice and asked, "Sister Guixi, why are you here?"

"Is Cousin in the room?" Gui Xi asked.

"The girl is in the room." The servant girl replied.

A maidservant in a green shirt came out of the room, "Guixi, why are you here? But what is the old lady's order?"

Guixi didn't answer her question, but instead asked: "Xiulan, what is Cousin doing in the room?"

"Young lady is painting in the house." Xiulan is Jiang Changning's eldest maid, "Wait a moment, I will report."

"Let Guixi come in." Jiang Changning said from the room.

The old lady Zhuang will celebrate her [-]th birthday next month, and she will draw a picture of Guanyin as a birthday present.

Guixi lifted the curtain of the door and went in.

Xiulan frowned slightly and followed in.

Gui Xi bowed his knees and said, "My maidservant greets Miss Biao."

"Don't be too polite." Jiang Changning put down his brush.

Guixi smiled. "Cousin girl, change your clothes quickly, and go to the front with your servants. Princess Runan is here, and the old lady asked the girl to go out to meet guests."

Jiang Changning smiled faintly, "Princess Runan Wang Taifei is here, she is a rare guest."

In order to avoid taboos, the imperial family and the royal family did not have much contact with the ministers on the surface.

It's not a holiday, why did Princess Runan come here?
"Fangju, wait for me to change clothes." Jiang Changning ordered another girl close to her, and asked Xiulan to ask Guixi about the intention of Princess Runan's visit.

"Biao girl, the old lady ordered, let the girl dress up well, don't be rude." Guixi said and followed.

Jiang Changning's heart sank, thinking of the recent rumors in Beijing.

The envoys of the Xile Kingdom came to Beijing. For the sake of the friendship between the two countries for generations, the Lord of the Xile Kingdom proposed marriage to the emperor, intending to marry the princess of this dynasty as the mother of the country.

He has only been enthroned for more than five years now, and has a son and three daughters under his knees. The eldest of the three princesses is only three years old, and the youngest is just one month old.

Among the royal family, there are seven women of the right age, and among them is Princess Huizhu of the Runan Palace, and she is the one who is most likely to be designated.

Princess Runan came to the dealer suddenly, could it be that she wants to find someone to marry on her behalf?
Xile's folk customs have always been tough, and their customs are also different from those in the Central Plains.

It's fine to accept a step-marriage, but what Jiang Changning can't accept is the weather there.

Living in the picturesque Hangzhou since she was a child, she is used to the humid environment, while Xile is a place of bitter cold.

Back then when she went north and came to the capital, she was not used to the weather here and suffered a serious illness. If it wasn't for Nanny Zhou and the others who took good care of her, she would have almost died.

To let her go to Xile to get married is to let her die.

"Biao girl, please change quickly, don't keep the concubine waiting for too long." Guixi urged the thoughtful Jiang Changning.

Jiang Changning restrained his mind, and asked tentatively: "You don't need to wait, you can invite the second girl and the others, and just meet at Xifangting."

"Mother Yu has gone to invite the three girls. The old lady specially asked the slaves to serve the cousin girl." Guixi had a respectful attitude, but he didn't dare to look at Jiang Changning, his whole body was full of guilt.

A coldness flashed in Jiang Changning's eyes, Mrs. Zhuang was afraid that she would not go, so she asked someone to keep an eye on her.

She lives in the dealer's house, even if she wants to escape, she can't escape now.

There is no need for Mrs. Zhuang, she is so urgently marking people.

Without asking any more questions, she picked out a white dress embroidered with bamboo leaves, which was soft and sharp.

Fangju was dexterous, and tied Jiang Changning's bun, put on jewelry, and said softly, "Girl, it's done."

Jiang Changning looked at the delicate and delicate girl in the Linghua mirror, and a sneer flashed across his lips. The old lady Zhuang would never think of sacrificing her so easily.

"Xiulan, go and get the purse from the small box." Jiang Changning paused, "It's the purse embroidered with gardenias that we brought with us when we came from the south."

Xiulan's face changed slightly, she knew that the purse contained a golden lock, which was given to the girl by a lady.

The girl once said that she would not use the golden lock unless it was absolutely necessary.

But today, the girl suddenly wants to wear the golden lock, which means that the foreigner who is going to meet today will bring the girl a lot of trouble.

In the past six years, the girl has been a lowly worker in the dealer's house, begging for perfection, and let it be fine if she doesn't get much credit from the dealer's house. I didn't expect that the dealer would allow foreigners to bully the girl now.

Xiulan gritted her teeth with hatred, turned around and went into the bedroom, opened the hidden drawer of the canopy bed, took out a small box from it, and took out the purse inside.

"Girl." Xiulan held the purse in both hands, and sent it to Jiang Changning respectfully.

Jiang Changning took the purse, tied it around his waist, got up and said, "Sister Guixi, let's go."

Although Guixi felt a little weird, she didn't want to ask in detail, so she and Xiulan took the two little girls and followed Jiang Changning out of the courtyard to the courtyard of Mrs. Zhuang.

There was a group of people sitting in the flower hall, including Zhuang's old lady Jiang, the Zhuang family's eldest wife Wu, second wife Zou, second grandmother Xiao Wu, and a jeweled and graceful Princess Runan.

But they didn't see the girls of the dealer, so they just called her here by themselves, what an obvious intention!
The hatred in Jiang Changning's heart added a little more.

Six years ago, Mrs. Zhuang sent someone to take her to Beijing as an aunt. She had expected that her life would be a big event and that she would be calculated by the dealer.

But if Mrs. Zhuang really thought she was a persimmon and could handle it as she wanted, then she would be wrong.

Jiang Changning clenched her fists. This is a tough fight, and she has to be careful.

She walked over with a calm expression, and saluted Wanfu, "Changning has seen the concubine, please greet the concubine..."

Princess Runan didn't wait for her to finish the ceremony with a few people, she got up to help her, and said affectionately, "It's common every day, so don't be so polite."

"Concubine Xie loves you, but etiquette cannot be broken." Jiang Changning took the opportunity to break away from Concubine Runan's hand.

It really made her feel sick to be hypocritical with the people who plotted against her.

"What a polite girl." Princess Runan praised.

Jiang Changning greeted the Zhuang family's wives and was about to step aside.

Princess Runan immediately grabbed her hand, "Miss Jiang is really a rare beauty, old sister, you are really good at treating people, you can make a girl so beautiful that people are happy at first sight." what."

"The concubine concubine has won the prize. Everyone around girl Ning is fine, but this body is too thin. After so many years of care, she is still sick. Every now and then, she has to ask the doctor to get medicine. It's even more unbearable. The pain of running around and exhausting." Mrs. Zhuang bit the word "running around" very hard.

Jiang Changning's downcast eyes showed a hint of surprise, is Mrs. Zhuang defending her?
Mrs. Wu said, "Biao girl was really sick in the past, but she has recovered after so many years of recuperation. Look at this complexion, her skin is as smooth as fat, and she is as beautiful as peaches and plums."

Jiang Changning hooked the corners of his lips, and a mocking sneer flashed past.

Wu Shi has always disliked her and was wary of her, for fear that the old lady would marry her to Zhuang Zike.

But who likes that Ma Bao boy who loves to be in the background, is useless, and has no achievements?
