Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Chapter 366 Hangzhou
Watching Emperor Xuanzhi descend from the sky, the corners of Jiang Changning's mouth twitched slightly, "Your Majesty, there's no need to fight like this, right?"

Xuanzhi Dilang said with a smile: "That means you have Zhang Liangji, and I have a wall ladder."

"The master is playing games with his wife, and he is so serious that it makes my concubine very sad, can't the master let me go?" Jiang Changning held his heart, pretending to be weak.

"It's the master who is wrong, madam, don't worry, the master has made an apology to the madam." Emperor Xuan Zhi cupped his hands.

"Master, will you make a verbal apology?"

Emperor Xuanzhi smiled, and leaned into Jiang Changning's ear, "My lord, I would like to make amends with my own body."

"No." Jiang Changning reached out and pushed him away, "It's been a long time since I played chess, let's play chess."

"Okay." Emperor Xuanzhi quite liked playing chess with Jiang Changning, and now the only person who dares to beat him is his empress.

No matter how beautiful the scenery on the bank is when the boat is traveling in the river, it will be boring to see it for a long time.

Fortunately, every three days, you can go ashore to play in the small town nearby, which is also a bit of fun.

Just stop and go like this, and arrived in Hangzhou in late May.

Hangzhou, known as Lin'an in ancient times, also known as Qiantang, has always been known as a paradise on earth.

On the pier, lanterns and festoons were decorated, gongs and drums proclaimed the sky, local officials wore official uniforms, and celebrities and gentlemen in the city welcomed the empress with great fanfare.

Although Emperor Xuanzhi was a pragmatic emperor, he couldn't help showing a happy smile when he saw this, but he had to warn, "Although this move comes from the sincerity of respect and love, it is a pity that it will damage material resources. I regard the gangsters in the universe as my own sons. But to make Bihu rich and colorful, my heart is also happy."

The old man with white hair and beard led by the famous gentleman was very good at flattering, "Your Majesty is majestic in the world, loves the people like a son, and should be admired by all people. It is our blessing and our fortune to be able to welcome Your Majesty."

Jiang Changning, who was wearing a big red phoenix robe, stood gracefully and luxuriously one step behind Emperor Xuanzhi, smiling, listening to him talking kindly with the old man.

The palace in Hangzhou is in Gushan.

Gushan is located between the inner lake and the outer lake of the West Lake. It is the largest island in the West Lake, surrounded by blue waves and lush flowers and trees.

It's nearly June, and the West Lake at this time is just like what is written in that poem, with the lotus leaves boundless green against the sky and the lotus flowers reflecting the sun are red.

The palace here is a typical Jiangnan garden style.

The layout is free, the architecture is simple, the halls and halls can be arranged as appropriate, and the structure is not rigid.

Compared with the majestic grandeur of the imperial palace, this place looks more compact and exquisite.

"It's very good here." Jiang Changning smiled lightly.

"Hangzhou City is your hometown, we can stay for a few more days." Emperor Xuanzhi smiled.

Jiang Changning frowned and smiled, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

When he arrived in Hangzhou, Emperor Xuanzhi wanted to meet officials and deal with government affairs.

Jiang Changning summoned the members of the Jiang clan, and she returned home in fine clothes, so she could meet her natal family.

The people who came to see Jiang Changning were from the line of her grandfather's cousin, according to her seniority, they were her cousin and aunt.

The Jiang family's heirs are not prosperous, and Jiang Changning's grandfather's line is the only one left.

This cousin had a son and four daughters, and all four daughters died, leaving only his son.

Uncle Jiang Tang is nearly fifty years old and has only three daughters. The eldest daughter and second daughter are both married, and the three daughters want to stay at home to recruit.

"Your Majesty, Uncle Jiang and Mrs. Jiang are waiting outside." The servant came in to report.

"Please come in." Before Jiang Changning left Hangzhou, she had met this uncle and aunt several times. She had a good memory and recognized them at a glance.

"Grassmen (folk women) pay their respects to the empress, best wishes to the empress." The Jiang couple saluted.

"Uncle and Aunt Tang don't need to be polite, please stand up and give me a seat." Jiang Changning held his hands up.

"Thank you, Empress."

After the two sat down on the chairs, Jiang Changning kindly asked about their family's situation, the harvest in the field, and Uncle Jiang's participation in the imperial examination.

After learning that Jiang Sanniang's marriage has been decided and she is going to get married in September, "Xiaochun, go and get the mahogany carved box."

The box contains a whole set of gilt hair and face, which is just for Jiang Sanniang to add makeup.

Uncle Jiang has no official position. According to the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty, Jiang Sanniang, the daughter of a commoner, cannot wear gilt jewelry, but the empress dowager can keep it as a family heirloom.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager." Mrs. Jiang said happily.

"Wedding wine, I'm afraid I won't be able to drink it, so let Aunt Lao Tang congratulate my cousin." Jiang Changning laughed.

"Your Majesty is too polite." Mrs. Jiang said with a smile.

After chatting for a few more words, Uncle Jiang and Mrs. Jiang left, and Jiang Changning also rewarded them with something else.

Polite, estranged relatives.

After meeting his relatives, Jiang Changning changed from the gorgeous robe to a light summer shirt, and walked slowly along the bluestone path.

Not long after she boarded the viewing tower, Emperor Xuanzhi came, "Are you happy to see your relatives?"

"Happy." Jiang Changning was smiling, but his eyes were dark.

Emperor Xuanzhi hugged her from behind, "Tomorrow we will go to worship our father-in-law and mother-in-law."

"Okay." Jiang Changning replied softly.

He hugged her quietly and didn't speak again.

She leaned quietly in his arms and didn't speak.

Hangzhou is her hometown, the place where she has lived for nearly ten years, but her parents are buried here, and it is also the place where she is sad.

The next day, Emperor Xuanzhi and Jiang Changning wore plain clothes and went to the cemetery of the Jiang family.

Jiang Changning had lived in the capital for so many years, so she couldn't come back to visit her parents' graves, but she asked someone to help.

There is not a single weed on the graves of her parents and grandparents, and the tombstones are also clean and free from dust.

"Grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, Ning'er has come to see you." Jiang Changning knelt in front of the grave.

Emperor Xuanzhi knelt beside Jiang Changning, Jiang Changning was startled, "Your Majesty!"

"Even if I am the emperor, I am also the son-in-law of the Jiang family. How can I not behave like a junior when I come to the graves of my grandfather, grandmother, father, and mother?"

Tears flashed in Jiang Changning's eyes, and he said in a sobbing voice: "Grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, he is Ning'er's husband, he is the emperor of Daqin, and he treats Ning'er very well."

"Grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, I will treat Ning'er well and grow old together with her. This time, our husband and wife are here to pay homage to you. Next time, I will bring our children along."

Jiang Changning looked at him sideways, "Your Majesty, is what you said true?"

"You have no jokes."

Tears fell from Jiang Changning's eyes, "Thank you."

"Don't cry." Emperor Xuanzhi stretched out his hand to help her wipe away tears, "Grandfather and the others are alive in heaven. They will feel at ease seeing that you are living so well now."

After worshiping the elders of Jiang's family, the couple left without staying for dinner.

On the carriage, Emperor Xuanzhi smiled and said, "Take you to eat delicious food."

"I'm from Hangzhou, and I'm the one who will take you to eat delicious food." Jiang Changning corrected him.

"Then Madam Lao will take you to eat delicious food." Emperor Xuanzhi laughed.

"Wow." Jiang Changning smiled.
