Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Chapter 321 May
The festive April has passed, and May, which is called the poisonous month by the people, is ushered in.

Jiang Changning never thought May was poisonous, she liked May very much.

The weather in May is hot and cool, and the warm wind blowing slowly makes people feel refreshed.

However, on the morning of the first day of the lunar new year, people from Sui Guogong's mansion came to report the funeral, and Sui Guogong's mother, Mrs. Tai, died of illness.

It is not surprising that this wife passed away after years of lingering sickness.

Sui Guogong's Mansion is the Empress Dowager's natal family, although there is not much contact with Jin Wang's Mansion, but as the saying goes, red things are not uninvited, and white things come uninvited.

What's more, Sui Guogong's mansion has come to report the funeral, and Yili must go to express his condolences.

Jiang Changning changed into plain clothes, and waited for King Jin to come back, "Change quickly so we can go to the Duke of Sui's mansion."

"Let the brat change into his clothes and go together." King Jin said as he untied his belt.

Jiang Changning frowned, "My son is still young, so he shouldn't go to that kind of place."

"Not too young." King Jin put his hands on Jiang Changning's shoulders, with a serious expression, "He is the eldest son of King Jin's mansion."

Jiang Changning looked at him for a moment, "I'll send someone to call him."

After both father and son changed into plain clothes, the family of three went to Sui Duke's mansion.

The next day, on the morning of the second day of May, people from Xinjian County's mansion came to report the funeral, and the Xinjian County Duke died of illness.

Jiang Changning was stunned for a moment, "How could it be? Didn't it mean that a hundred-year-old ginseng was found? Didn't it mean that Xinjian's condition has improved?"

"No matter how good the medicine is, it can't really reverse the disease. The Duke of the county is getting old, and his fate has come." Although King Jin was sad, he was stable.

The family of three rushed to the Xinjian County Government House, and before they got out of the carriage, they heard mourning and joy.

The eldest princess of Jiashan was so sad that she was lying in bed and unable to get up. The people who presided over the overall situation were the Duke and Mrs. Shaojun.

Facing a bereaved family who has lost a loved one, the only thing they can say is, "My condolences by the way."

On the third day of the fifth lunar month, Uncle Baorong's mansion came to report the funeral, and Mrs. Shizi died of dystocia.

Jiang Changning was stunned. Three days in a row, three funerals, Lord Yan was rushing for performance, or something?
Uncle Baorong's mansion, King Jin and Xiao Ming'er don't need to go, Du Jiang Changning can just go over to offer condolences.

The next day, Jiang Changning had breakfast and was walking in the corridor. Shu Cui came in from the outside, and she asked tremblingly, "Whose family is here to report the funeral today?"

Shu Cui laughed dumbly, and said, "No, no one came to report the funeral today."

Jiang Changning patted his chest, "It's okay, it's okay."

If someone came to report the funeral, she really had to believe that May was the poisonous moon.

On the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of May, in the early morning, King Jin entered the palace. Jiang Changning and Yan Yinyao took Zeng Mi, Xiao Ming and Xiao Bai to the moat to watch the dragon boat race.

The location of the color shed in Jinwang Mansion is quite good.

After sitting in the color shed for a while, Jiang Changning took Xiao Ming to pay a visit to the color shed of Prince Qing's Mansion.

Although King Jin and King Qing are political enemies, King Qing is old after all, he is an elder and deserves to be respected.

When Princess Qing saw Jiang Changning, she said in a strange way: "Why did Princess Jin come here? It's really expensive!"

Her younger brother was ransacked and exiled because of the prisoner exchange case. She hated King Jin to the bone. Jiang Changning was the concubine of Jin, and she hated the same.

Jiang Changning covered his mouth and nose with a fan, "No wonder I smelled a bad smell when I came in. It turned out to be a lowly land. The river bank is so spacious. Why did Princess Qing ask someone to find such a place to build a colorful shed?"

Princess Qing didn't expect that Jiang Changning would follow her words and call this a low place, so she was stunned.

Jiang Changning continued to tease her, "This place is so close to the viewing platform, Princess Qing really thinks this is a cheap place?"

Where the emperor is, it is all precious land.

"Princess Jin, what my mother-in-law said was just a polite remark, why are you so aggressive?" Princess Qing interrupted.

"The concubine is really in the same line as the concubine." Jiang Changning gently shook the round fan with his right hand, and led Xiao Ming out with his left hand. "The stench is so bad that it is unbearable."

"Jiang Shi, stop for me." Princess Qing said sharply.

Jiang Changning ignored her and left the booth without looking back.

Princess Qing couldn't chase her out, she continued to argue with Jiang Changning, and could only slap the table angrily.

"Mother Concubine, aren't you angry?" Xiao Ming'er asked.

"Why are you angry?" Jiang Changning asked back.

"Princess Qing and the others are very rude."

"They were rude, so I fired back unceremoniously."

Xiao Ming'er recalled the previous situation, and said: "So it is Princess Qing and the others who should be angry."

Jiang Changning reached out and touched his head, "Son, remember, the winner is not proud, the loser is not discouraged, only the incompetent can get angry and growl."

Xiao Minger thought for a while, and said: "The winner is not angry because he won, and the loser is not angry because he thinks about winning next time. The incompetent knows that he will never be able to defeat the opponent, so he will be angry."

"My son is so smart." Jiang Changning said with a smile.

Accompanied by the guards, the mother and son returned to their color shed not long after Wen's son-in-law and Princess Kangren came.

"Aunt, Cousin." The young couple saluted.

"There is no need to be so polite." Jiang Changning said with his hands empty.

The young couple came with their families, did not sit for a long time, chatted for a while, and then left.

After they left, noble ladies from other mansions came to visit with rice dumplings, greeted them politely, and left.

At the third quarter of Sishi, the sound of the whip of the Qing Dynasty came from outside.

Surrounded by the four regents, civil and military officials, and guards, the little emperor came to the moat to watch the dragon boat race.

This is the first time he has visited in person since he took the throne.

The little emperor sat down on the viewing platform. Except for the four regents, everyone else retreated outside and scattered around the viewing platform.

After the little emperor put his eyes on the yellow dragon boat, the members of each team boarded the boat and began to race.

Three heavy drums sounded, and sixteen dragon boats flew out.

The sound of gongs and drums shook the sky, and the people watching the race were all shouting excitedly.

Jiang Changning held up his clairvoyance for a while, then lost interest and sat there peeling rice dumplings to eat.

She ate up the small and exquisite zongzi in one go. Seeing that everyone was concentrating on watching the dragon boat rowing, she secretly peeled off another one and ate it.

Zongzi is made of glutinous rice. If she eats too much, she will not be able to digest it. It will also cause bloating, stomach pain, acid reflux, abdominal distension, diarrhea, and constipation. King Jin forbids her to eat more.

"No, those two dragon boats are about to collide." Yan Yinyao said suddenly.

Jiang Changning quickly swallowed the zongzi in his mouth, picked up his clairvoyance and looked over.

The blue dragon boat and the red dragon boat collided together, and the two dragon boats were moving fast. The collision caused the two dragon boats to overturn, and the people on board fell into the water one after another.

A rescue boat was nearby and immediately rowed over to save people.

When there was chaos on the river, someone overheard shouted: "There are assassins, escort, escort."

Jiang Changning turned pale with shock, "Xiao Ming, Xiao Bai, come to Mother quickly."

Yan Yinyao had already hugged Zeng Mi, and asked in a panic: "Biao sister-in-law, what should we do?"

"There are guards outside, don't be afraid, we'll be fine." Jiang Changning tried to stay calm.
