Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Chapter 81 Taking a Concubine (Part [-])
Then several officials came out, and they also strongly supported the compilation of "Wenyuan Yulan", and said: "The merits of this work will benefit the future!"

The King of Jin objected, "This matter is too laborious and costly, please think again, Your Majesty."

To compile such a set of books, collecting books is a difficult task, not only the collections of the royal family and officials' homes, but also from the folks.

Collecting books from the people, if you take them by force, there will be chaos.

King Jin's objection convinced the hesitant emperor that he must compile "Wen Yuan Yu Lan".

The matter of compiling books has little to do with the generals, it is as quiet as a chicken.

Civil officials quoted classics and were very enthusiastic about compiling "Wenyuan Yulan".

"Your Majesty, I think that compiling this book requires a person with both ability and political integrity, and a high position to be the chief editor, so that this matter can be carried out smoothly." A civil servant said.

Someone recommended Mr. Tan to be in charge, but Mr. Tan declined, "It's not that I don't want to share your majesty's worries, it's because I don't have the skills to do so. Next year will be the year of the Grand Competition."

Someone elected other officials, and finally the editor-in-chief fell on King Jin.

King Jin declined, but the emperor agreed.

The reason why the emperor agreed was simple, what King Jin didn't want to do, he wanted him to do.

As the emperor, you can make things difficult for others.

Moreover, King Jin was busy with writing books and neglected the beauty, so he had the chance to approach her and take it as his own.

"Ah chirp..." Jiang Changning, who was missed by the emperor, sneezed.

"Princess, it's fine to let the slaves take a look. Why do you want to come in person?" Xiulan asked worriedly.

"After I entered the door, it was the first time I brought my concubine in. Of course, I had to see how the arrangement was, so as not to make a mistake and make people think that I was giving her power." Jiang Changning laughed.

"Chun Lai is being stared at, that one doesn't dare to be a monster anymore." Fu Cui said.

Jiang Changning and Xiulan smiled, but did not correct Fu Cui.

When it came to tidying up the yard and bringing Chen Yi in, Mrs. Qiao really didn't act like a demon.

The reason why she doesn't act like a demon is probably because Chunlai sent people to watch her, and she couldn't find a chance.

Qiao's yard was cleaned up, not far from Pu's small courtyard, and it was also the first courtyard, named Lanzaoyuan.

After all, it is just taking a concubine, which is incomparable with marrying a wife.

The entire palace, the Blue Algae Courtyard, was decorated with lanterns and festoons, as if it was a happy event.

Jiang Changning entered the courtyard and looked around. As a concubine, Chen Yi can only live in the main room when she is serving her bed. She usually lives in the east wing.

"This flower is a bit withered, go to the greenhouse and cut a few more branches." Jiang Changning ordered.

After checking it inside and out, there was nothing wrong with it, so Jiang Changning went back to Rujingyuan.

After a while, King Jin came back from his court.

"Yongzhou, you're finally back, change into your auspicious clothes." Jiang Changning put down his notebook, reached out to pick up the red brocade robe, and shook it off.

King Jin looked at her steadfastly, without speaking.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Changning asked.

"Are you so happy that I take a concubine?" Jin Wang asked lightly.

His tone was calm and without ups and downs, but Jiang Changning could hear his displeasure.

Taking a concubine is a happy event for a man, what is there to displease him?
Jiang Changning threw the brocade robe on the kang, "It's as long as the prince is happy, it doesn't matter if I'm happy or not." After a pause, "The Queen Mother pointed out the Chen family to the prince, how can I stop her from entering?"

Seeing Jiang Changning's straight face, King Jin was happy.

When he thought that Jiang Changning was inconvenient, he didn't arrange a room for him, nor did he force him to go to the concubine's room.

Knowing that he misunderstood her, Jin Wang hurried to her side and hugged her, "Ning Ning, there is another idler in the family, and it is not easy to earn money."

The resentful tone made Jiang Changning laugh dumbly, "Does Yongzhou want to increase revenue, or to reduce expenditure?"

"How to open up the source? How to save money?" King Jin asked.

"Food is the most important thing for the people, what do you think about opening a rice shop?" Jiang Changning avoided the question of saving money.

"Okay, where do you want to spread the rice? Where does the rice come from?"

The couple discussed about opening the rice shop, and Xiulan reported from the outside: "My lord, my concubine, the sedan chair has arrived at the entrance of the square."

"Yong Zhou, change your clothes quickly." Jiang Changning broke free from King Jin's arms and urged.

King Jin changed into a red auspicious uniform with a blank face, and went to Zhengzhengyuan with Jiang Changning.

Chunlai, who was in charge of Zhengzhengyuan, saw the two of them, and trotted over, "Greetings to the prince, and regards to the princess."

"Thank you." Jiang Changning nodded slightly.

Walking into the main hall, many guests came. Seeing the couple coming in, they got up and saluted: "I have seen the prince, I have seen the princess."

The couple sat down in their seats, and Jiang Changning said with a smile: "You don't need to be too polite, please sit down, thank you for coming to watch the ceremony."

The guests all smiled and said, "It's my honor to be here to watch the ceremony."

It's just that the concubine smiled amiably, why didn't the prince have a trace of joy on his face?
"Newcomers come in." Xi Po raised her voice outside.

Chen Yi, who was wearing a wedding robe embroidered with peach red peony flowers, walked in with the support of her wife and maid.

"The newcomer greets the prince and concubine." Xi Po said.

Chen Yi was helped to stand in front of King Jin, and slowly knelt down on the kneeling mat.

"Hiss..." Chen Yi took a light breath, a trace of pain flashed across her pretty face.

King Jin didn't notice Chen Yi's strangeness, he was looking up at the lantern hanging from the roof the whole time.

Jiang Changning saw it, but he didn't understand where her pain came from?

The maidservant brought tea, and Chen Yi picked up a cup sideways, and offered it, "My lord, please drink tea."

King Jin took the teacup and put it aside, "From now on, I will serve the princess in the mansion well, and don't gossip too much to make the princess angry."

"I would like to obey the prince's orders." Chen Yi's voice trembled, as if she was enduring something.

Chen Yi was helped up by Xi Po and the maidservant, she frowned again, her steps were a bit inconvenient.

Now not only Jiang Changning, but also the wives and grandmas watching the ceremony saw it.

Chen Yi knelt down again and whispered, "Ah!"

The man threw himself forward, resting his hands on the soft cushion.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Changning asked with a frown.

"Needle." Chen Yi touched her knee with her hand, and took out a silver needle from there.

The people watching the ceremony gasped and looked at Jiang Changning with a bit of panic and panic in their eyes.

Jiang Changning looked calm, looked at Yinzhen, looked at Chen Yi, turned to look at King Jin, "My lord, what do you think about this?"

"You won't, and you don't need it." King Jin raised one corner of his lips, "Someone is being stupid."

King Jin's complete trust made Jiang Changning more calm, and smiled, "Come here, bring a sedan chair and send Mrs. Chen off."

"Miss Chen." King Jin interrupted her and corrected her address to Chen Yi.

Jiang Changning looked at King Jin questioningly with puzzled eyes, and King Jin said with a straight face, "She didn't serve you tea."

When a concubine enters the house, the most important thing is to offer tea to the mistress. If this process is not passed, the status of the concubine will not be confirmed.

The makeup on Chen Yi's face was a bit heavy, and she couldn't see her face, but she shook her body, which showed that she was hit.

The people watching the ceremony were shocked, Jin Wang was very protective of Jin Wangfei!
　King Jin smiled like a spring breeze: Your Majesty, do you like this gift in return?
