Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Chapter 76 Beauty
Back in Rujingyuan, Jiang Changning didn't ask about the maidservant, but calmly told Xiulan, "Prepare water, I want to take a bath." "Yes, Princess." Xiulan put down the jujube tea and retreated out.

Jiang Changning sat down on the kang, took a sip of tea with a cup, the taste of red dates was very strong and slightly sweet.

"I didn't?" King Jin's tone was a little bit aggrieved.

"This is sweet tea, you don't like it." Jiang Changning said casually.

When King Jin heard this, he felt a little joy, she knew what he liked.

Jiang Changning was startled by his tender gaze. Although she was very happy today, she was very tired. She wanted to rest, and she didn't want to be boiled!
Sipping red jujube tea in small sips, ignoring King Jin's gaze, waiting for Xiulan to come in and saying: "Princess, the water is ready."

I ran away quickly and went to take a bath.

Soaking in the warm water with a faint floral fragrance, Jiang Changning was still thinking, how can he escape the fate of being boiled today?
After she took a long time to take a shower, she entered the bedroom refreshed.

As soon as she went to bed, she told herself that she must fall asleep as soon as possible, and go to find Zhou Gong before King Jin came out of the bath.

But the more I want to sleep, the more I can't fall asleep. I'm obviously very tired.

Hearing the sound of King Jin entering the room, he closed his eyes even tighter.

"Ningning, are you asleep?" King Jin walked to the bed and opened the curtain.

Jiang Changning responded, yes, she fell asleep.

King Jin got on the bed lightly. He lay down on the quilt for a while, and when he was warm, he stretched out his arms to hug Jiang Changning.

Jiang Changning had been mentally prepared for a long time, and let him hug him softly, without revealing his secrets.

It's just that King Jin sucked on her neck, which almost broke her, but she managed to hold back.

Seeing that she was asleep, Jin Wang was reluctant to wake her up, so the husband and wife slept under the quilt.

Jiang Changning pretended to be asleep, and then he really fell asleep.

A good night's sleep.

In the early morning, when Jiang Changning woke up, King Jin had already gone to court.

After lazily getting up and washing up, Mrs. Pu and Mrs. Liu came and saluted respectfully: "Greetings to the princess, best wishes to the princess."

"You don't need to be too polite." Jiang Changning raised his hand, who made the rules for this kind of concubine to come to ask the main wife to settle down every day?
A wife doesn't want to see a concubine, so why would a concubine want to see a wife?

The two are tired of each other, but they still have to deal with each other every day.

After eating something, Jiang Changning went to the Liuxuan Garden to pay his respects to the concubine.

Mrs. Pu and Mrs. Liu followed her, exited Rujingyuan, and watched her go.

"The princess is getting more and more radiant." Liu said with a strange tone.

Pu Shi glanced at her, but said nothing.

"It was said that she arranged for us to sit in bed, and the date was fixed, but in the end she occupied the prince alone." Liu said angrily.

Mrs. Pu frowned, "Mrs. Zhou was kicked out of the house, do you want to be kicked out too?"

Liu's complexion changed drastically, and she pursed her lips tightly.

After walking for a while in silence, Mrs. Pu suddenly said, "I don't know Wangfei, when will that Mrs. Chen be allowed to enter the mansion?"

"I'm afraid we have to wait until the next year?" Liu speculated.

"It's really deserted in this mansion." Mrs. Pu said quietly.

Not only the Pu family, but also the emperor and the emperor Annan felt that the mansion of the Prince of Jin was too deserted. Of the fifty beauties that Annan paid tribute to, he rewarded ten of them to the Prince of Jin.

In the past, the emperor dared not reward King Jin with such beauties, but this time, the emperor ignored King Jin's refusal and rewarded ten of them at once, "Don't be busy with official duties all day, King Jin should relax more."

King Jin could only accept, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

Ask Chang Youzhong to send ten beauties back home to meet Jiang Changning.

Jiang Changning was practicing calligraphy in the study, and Xiulan walked in with a gloomy face, "Princess, Eunuch Chang is here, please go out."

"My lord came back so early?" Jiang Changning asked in surprise.

"No, the lord didn't come back, it was Eunuch Chang who sent back the ten beauties that the emperor rewarded the lord." Xiulan said very unhappy.

"Ten beauties?" Jiang Changning was startled. Did the emperor want King Jin to die with all his energy, so as to achieve the goal of getting rid of King Jin without bloodshed?
Jiang Changning put down his rolled up sleeves and walked outside.

As soon as he entered the courtyard and hall, he saw ten young girls with outstanding looks.

"The little one has seen the princess, please greet the princess." Chang Youzhong saluted.

"You don't need to be too polite." Jiang Changning treated Chang Youzhong very politely.

When those girls saw a beautiful young woman walking in, they all took a deep breath. Is this the mistress they will serve in the future?
Jiang Changning walked to the seat and sat down, looked at the ten girls in front of him who looked slightly nervous, and smiled slightly: "Don't be cautious, what are your names? How old are you?"

The ten girls looked at each other, one of them took a step forward, bowed his knees and said, "I have met the princess, my name is Ruan, my name is Lizhu, and I am 17 years old."

"Meet the princess, my name is Ruan Mingshiyao, I am 16 years old."

"I have met the princess. My name is Ruan and my name is Qinqin. I am 16 years old."

Although Jiang Changning knew that Ruan's surname was An Nan's common surname, all three of them had the surname Ruan, which made people want to ask, "Are you of the same family?"

"As for the princess, we are not of the same family, but just have the same surname." Ruan Lizhu replied.

Jiang Changning nodded, indicating that he understood, "Continue."

Another girl came out and said: "I have seen the princess, my name is Huang, my name is Wei Ni, and I am 16 years old."

"Meet the princess, I."

When the girls set off from Annan, they began to learn Mandarin. After several months of study, although they still had a little accent, they could understand it.

Exactly five of the ten people were born in officials and five were born in common people.

Jiang Changning didn't reprimand, "Let's go, I'll take you to meet the concubine."

"Princess." Chang Youzhong hurried to Jiang Changning's side and lowered his voice, "The concubine will not see them."

"Did Eunuch Chang ask me to take someone to see Concubine Mourning?" Jiang Changning asked.

The tone was flat, without a hint of anger, but Chang Youzhong had the feeling of facing Jin Wang, not angry but powerful!

Jiang Changning didn't care about Chang Youzhong, and took ten beauties out of Rujingyuan to Liuxuanyuan.

When they arrived at Liuxuan Courtyard, Jiang Changning asked ten beauties to wait in the side room, while she and Chang Youzhong went in to see the concubine.

Seeing the concubine, Jiang Changning cut to the chase and said, "Concubine mother, the emperor rewarded the prince with ten beauties, and I don't know which yards in the mansion are suitable for housing them. I would like to trouble concubine mother to help my daughter-in-law so that sister-in-law can properly accommodate them."

The concubine stared at Jiang Changning, "Are you upset?"

Jiang Changning smiled, "I'm not upset at all. These beauties are just toys, just like those decorations. If they are good, they will be kept, and if they are not, they will be discarded."

"You have to really think so." The concubine obviously didn't believe her too much.

"Mother and concubine, it was originally the daughter-in-law's job to arrange them, but now the housekeeper is the sister-in-law. Besides, this time, the daughter-in-law is also afraid that she may not do it properly. Doesn't the sister-in-law have experience?" Jiang Changning said with a smile.

Only then did the concubine realize that Jiang Changning was not in the power of Zhongfu. She took a sip of tea uncomfortably, coughed lightly, and said, "You didn't enter the house before, so you let Qiao's housekeeper, now you It has been two months since you married into the mansion, so you should take over the housekeeping business as soon as possible."

Jiang Changning smiled, but did not answer her words.

Butler Quan, Jiang Changning is really not in a hurry to pick it up.

　Note: Jiang Changning's heart opened a crack, but now it is closed again.

　　Poor King Jin, it's been a long way to chase his wife.
