Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Chapter 87 Gift (Third)
The next day, Zhuang Qingchan went to Prince Jin's mansion with heavy gifts to visit Jiang Changning.

Jiang Changning was well aware of Zhuang Qingchan's intentions, "Are you okay in the palace? Did Princess Ningxia make things difficult for you?"

"Sister Xie Ning is concerned. I'm fine in the palace. The concubine is no more difficult to please than the old lady. The concubine is too busy to take care of herself and has no time to embarrass me." Zhuang Qingchan laughed.

"That's good." Jiang Changning said with a smile.

"The concubine has kept the princess locked up, and she is not allowed to go out, and she is asked to copy "Women's Commandments", "Women's Training" and "Women's Regulations."

"Yesterday was the Laba Festival. She was clamoring to go back to Song's house. The concubine couldn't stop her. Seeing that she was honest these days, she let her go out, but she didn't want to. She would run over and make trouble."

"After the concubine and the prince found out about this, they were very angry, so they wanted to come and apologize. I wanted to see Sister Ning, so I took the initiative to ask Ying to come over."

Jiang Changning smiled, she didn't dislike Zhuang Qingchan for using her as a backer, "You can come over to play if you have anything to do."

"Thank you, Sister Ning." Zhuang Qingchan smiled and pushed the big gift box beside her. "This gift was prepared by Toffee, and it is an apology.

Then put the small gift box on it, "I prepared this one, it's a birthday present for my sister. If I want to come that day, I can't come to celebrate in person, so let's send the gift first."

"You have a heart." Jiang Changning did not open the big gift box, but opened the small gift box.

Inside the gift box was an embroidered kang screen. Looking at the needlework, it should have been embroidered by Zhuang Qingchan herself.

In the morning, Jiang Changning greeted the concubine and went back to the courtyard. At the gate of the courtyard, he saw Chang Youzhong's men coming down to Le, "My little one, please greet the concubine."

"Get up, but what is your order?" Jiang Changning asked.

"A batch of fruits came as a tribute from the south, and the prince ordered the young ones to send them back to the mansion. The prince said, please ask the princess to take care of the distribution." Lai Le replied.

"Okay, I see, thank you for making a trip." Jiang Changning smiled.

"It's not hard, it's a small duty." Lai Le said with a smile.

Jiang Changning asked Xiulan to give him a reward, and Lai happily left.

When I entered the yard, I saw three big baskets.

With the status of King Jin, the amount of fruit that King Jin can receive from the tribute is quite sufficient.

In the baskets are tribute oranges, grapefruits, bananas and other southern fruits.

The yellow tribute oranges are attractive to look at, Jiang Changning picked up one and peeled it.

After tearing off all the white veins on the orange flesh, Jiang Changning broke off a piece and put it in his mouth.

The orange juice is sweet with just the right amount of sourness, and the orange flesh is fine and slag-free. The oranges that can be presented as tributes are really extraordinary.

After eating an orange, Jiang Changning began to distribute the fruits.

The concubine is the big head, and Mrs. Qiao occupies the position of sister-in-law, so she has to give it to her.

"Just six oranges, two grapefruits, and two handfuls of bananas." Jiang Changning was reluctant to share the delicious tribute oranges with Qiao's.

Jiang Changning also asked Shu Fei to send fruit to Jiang Nan and the Zhou brothers.

Mrs. Qiao didn't want to eat the fruit sent to Ronghuayuan.

She insisted not to call Jiang Changning Princess Jin, so that she could imagine that she was Princess Jin.

But today's batch of tribute fruits really told her that Jiang Changning was the concubine of Jin and the real mistress of the palace, even if she didn't have the right to give in.

Then there was something that made her even more angry. The 16th day of the twelfth lunar month was Jiang Changning's [-]th birthday.

This was Jiang Changning's first birthday in marriage, and Mrs. Qiao didn't want to celebrate it for her.

However, King Jin persuaded the concubine early on, and the concubine personally ordered Qiao to hold a birthday banquet for Jiang Changning.

It was Jiang Changning who said: "You don't need to work hard, just have a meal with a few people in the family." Only then did Qiao's exhaustion be relieved.

It's just that Mrs. Qiao is not happy whether it is done or not.

Why didn't she celebrate her first birthday when she married in?
What is Jiang's better than her?

Mrs. Qiao was about to go mad with anger, but she couldn't help the concubine, she didn't want to bear the grudge against King Jin, so she blamed everything on Jiang Changning.

"Mr. Jiang, why don't you die!" Mrs. Qiao had already smashed a set of tea sets, but she was still not relieved, and asked her servants to take out another set from the warehouse to smash it.

The underground of the Nuan Pavilion was in a mess.

Mrs. Qiao was quite forbearing, and usually would not throw things at random to vent her anger, but this time she was too angry and couldn't hold it back.

Time flies, to the nineteenth.

Son's birthday, mother's bitter day.

After getting up early, Jiang Changning greeted the concubine, returned to Ruyi Courtyard, and set up an incense table.

A stick of fragrance, remembering my parents in modern times.

Jiang Changning said silently: "Father, mother, my daughter is doing well here, she is already married, you don't need to urge the marriage anymore."

Coincidentally, she and the original owner had the same birthday, December [-]th in the lunar calendar.

In modern times, the Gregorian calendar is February [-]rd, and the sign of Aquarius belongs to the lamb.

A stick of fragrance, reminiscing about Jiang's father and Jiang's mother in this time and space, "Father, mother, Changning is doing well, please rest assured."

The third stick of fragrance should be a birthday wish. Jiang Changning has no wish. Now she doesn't have to work hard, but she can afford food and clothing, and has someone to serve her.

"Then wish the country and the people peace." Jiang Changning put the incense in the incense burner.

At noon, King Jin came back with a long box, "birthday gift."

Jiang Changning took the long box. No matter what, it was a happy thing to receive a gift on his birthday, "What is it?"

Opening the box, there was a scroll of paintings inside, Jiang Changning took out the paintings and unfolded them.

It is painted with red and fiery red camellias, and next to the flowers is a young woman wearing a red sable fur cloak.

Looking at the young woman's familiar face, Jiang Changning raised the corners of his lips, "Yong Zhou, I like this gift very much."

Jin Wang is a master of both calligraphy and painting, and is proficient in poetry, but it is said that he is best at painting landscapes and plants, and has never painted figures.

But Jiang Changning knew that this painting was written by King Jin, and with King Jin's domineering temperament, he would never allow other painters to paint her.

The painting looks like a photo, is this called not being able to draw characters?

Jiang Changning smiled, his eyes were bright, King Jin was hiding something very deep.

At the suggestion of King Jin, Jiang Changning hung this painting in the study of the Second Academy.

The concubine also gave Jiang Changning a birthday gift, a red gold flower crown with branches.

The crown is dotted with rubies, shining brightly.

Looking at the exquisite golden crown, Qiao Shi almost died of acidity, the concubine never gave her a gift.

What Princess Kangren sent was also a painting, a painting of the Five Blessings that she drew herself.

The brushwork is immature and the colors are bold.

Jiang Changning solemnly expressed his gratitude to Princess Kang Ren, and said: "I like it very much, Kang Ren's paintings are really good."

Young and mature, the unsmiling Princess Kangren showed a light and pleasant smile.

"I don't know what to give, so I asked the dining room to prepare a table of good dishes, and consider it a gift from me." Qiao said with a smirk.

Jiang Changning didn't care too much about accepting Qiao's gift, and said with a smile: "My birthday banquet, how can I let my sister-in-law spend money, mother and concubine gave me such a precious golden crown, the prince can't be stingy, mother and concubine, the table food costs , let the prince go out, do you think it's okay?"

"My concubine is too cunning. If I know that I want to ask my concubine to come forward, I can't refuse." King Jin said intentionally.

The concubine smiled and said, "Your daughter-in-law celebrates her birthday, and you should pay for the food."

"Okay, I'll go." Jin Wang readily agreed.

Looking at Jiang Changning, who was standing beside the concubine, smiling like a flower, Qiao's teeth itch with hatred.

Hu Meizi, even Hu Meizi, can really confuse people.
