Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Chapter 90 Killing Heart (Third Watch)

After the maid greeted the four of them, she said: "Princess Jin, Zhuang Cairen invites you to sit with the Empress Dowager after you have seen her. She has prepared your favorite vegetarian tea and peach soup."

Jiang Changning doesn't like vegetarian tea and peach soup.

Zhuang Qingyan knew that she didn't like food, but why did she prepare these?
Vegetarian tea, peach soup, vegetarian tea, peach soup, what does it mean?
Jiang Changning understood instantly, Su Tao ran away!
This is what Zhuang Qingyan wanted to convey to her. It seems that the person who invited her to sit with Zhuang Qingyan was not Zhuang Qingyan, but the emperor.

What a shameless man, how can such a person deserve to be the king of a country?
"Please tell Zhuang Cairen that if you are free, I will go there." Jiang Changning smiled lightly.

Whether you have time or not, it's up to her to decide.

After the court lady left, Mrs. Qiao said, "Master Chun'an, Mr. Zhuang Cai summoned you, so you can go, why wait for you to be free?"

"Sister-in-law, this is my first New Year's Eve banquet, and I don't know the rules. I said I have time to go because I don't know how long it will take to see the Queen Mother. If it's time for the dinner, can I not go to the dinner? See Zhuang Cairen?" Jiang Changning asked for advice.

Qiao's words choked.

The concubine gave Qiao a sideways look, "Brother Yu, daughter-in-law, you are very thoughtful, so your answer is correct."

"Thank you for your mother's concubine's teaching." Jiang Changning smiled.

After drinking a small bowl of soup and eating a few pieces of pastries, there was food in my stomach, and I felt at ease.

After rinsing his mouth with tea, he went to Fushou Palace under the guidance of the concubine.

Gao Yanyun politely invited the four of them into the hall to meet the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager bestowed a seat on Princess Jin and beckoned Jiang Changning to her side, holding Jiang Changning's hand, "Why is this child's hands so cold? But the clothes are too thin?"

Before Jiang Changning could answer, the Queen Mother continued, "Yan Yun, go and get that pheasant head fur."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager, for the reward." Jiang Changning was about to stand up to thank him, but the Empress Dowager refused to let him.

The Empress Dowager smiled at the Jin Wang Taifei: "Now that the Jin Wang is also married, you don't have to worry all day long, and you can enjoy the blessings in the future and wait to have a grandson."

"Thanks to the Empress Dowager marrying him, I have such a good daughter-in-law." Jin Wang Dowager said with some sincerity.

The food prepared by Jiang Changning still pleases the concubine.

Although there were many people present, the queen mother kept the four of them chatting for a quarter of an hour in order to show her intimacy and respect for Jiang Changning.

The empress dowager's move aroused the envy and jealousy of many people.

Coming out of the hall, Mrs. Qiao said: "There is still half an hour before the dinner, and the county magistrate of Chun'an can go to Zhuang Cairen."

Hearing that Mrs. Qiao urged her to go to Zhuang Qingyan's again, Jiang Changning's eyes darkened slightly. Does Mrs. Qiao know something?
Qiao is the emperor's accomplice?

If this is the case, Joe can't stay any longer.

For a long time, Jiang Changning didn't pay much attention to Qiao Shi. Even if he said he was going to make a move, he was just scaring Qiao Shi and didn't really make a move.

She will tolerate Qiao Shi, not because of how magnanimous she is, but because of the loneliness in the boudoir, the cat playing with the mouse, and being funny.

But now that Qiao's is so vicious, it won't work.

In Jiang Changning's narrowed eyes, a killing intent flashed across his eyes, and he said tentatively, "Sister-in-law, if you want to see Zhuang Cairen so much, why don't you go with me."

"No, you are cousins, so I won't bother you to reminisce about the old days." Qiao shrugged.

Jiang Changning became more and more sure that Mrs. Qiao was in collusion with the emperor, and Jiang Changning would not do anything that put him in danger.

No matter how strict the precautions are, there is a certain probability of loopholes.

This matter, if one is not careful, it will be beyond redemption.

With Zhuang Qingyan, Jiang Changning would never take any risks, "My lord told me to follow my concubine, I have to listen to my lord, not to mention that I have nothing to do with Zhuang Cairen."

Jiang Changning insisted on staying with Princess Jin, it was impossible for Mrs. Qiao to drive her away by force.
A small servant stared at the group of people in Prince Jin's Mansion, and saw that they were on their way to the Guangming Hall where the dinner was held, and ran quickly to Zhuang Qingyan's palace.

As Jiang Changning expected, the emperor was at Zhuang Qingyan's place.

He was sitting on the throne, looking at the door of the temple.

Zhuang Qingyan sat down on a chair covered with a navy blue chair, with her hands folded on her thighs, her whole body tensed.

When the little servant ran in, she raised her head, a look of panic flashed in her eyes, could this catastrophe be avoided?

"But it's here?" The emperor's face showed joy.

"Replying to the emperor, the female family members of the Jin Palace have gone to the Guangming Palace." The little servant replied.

The emperor's face darkened, "Zhuang Cairen, what did the maid you sent say?"

"If you go back to the emperor, I will ask the maid to tell Jin Wangfei that I have prepared tea and snacks, and invite her to come over and catch up with the concubine."

This sounds fine, but why didn't Jiang Changning come?

"Let the maids please." The emperor said.

"Your Majesty, the dinner party is about to begin, Princess Jin probably won't be here." Zhuang Qingyan didn't want to send someone to invite Jiang Changning at all.

The emperor stared at Zhuang Qingyan with cold eyes.

Zhuang Qingyan's scalp was numb, her heart was beating like thunder, and she forcibly reminded calmly: "Your Majesty, it's time for you to change your clothes."

The emperor remained silent, Zhuang Qingyan did not dare to move.

After a long time, the emperor said: "Wait for me to change my clothes."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhuang Qingyan heaved a sigh of relief, today's test has passed, right?

As for the future, let's talk about it later.

Before Shen Shizheng, except for the emperor and empress, everyone else had arrived at the Guangming Hall.

Princess Jin and Princess De sat together, Jiang Changning sat at the same table with King Jin and his wife, and Mrs. Qiao took Princess Kangren with her.

"Ningning, is there any secret in the box containing ginseng tea? Why is it still warm after three hours?" King Jin asked curiously in a low voice.

For the first time in so many years, after the festival, I ate something. It was still warm ginseng tea. After drinking the tea and eating a few pieces of pastries, my stomach felt better and my whole body felt much better.

"I'll tell you when I get back." Jiang Changning smiled.

"Okay." King Jin smiled, took a tribute orange and began to peel it.

Jiang Changning sat dignifiedly, enjoying the singing and dancing performance in the hall.

From time to time, people came to talk to King Jin, and women came to say hello to Jiang Changning.

Although Jiang Changning has been married to the palace for more than three months, it just so happened that during these three months, people held some kind of banquet. She didn't go out much to socialize, and she had limited contacts with female relatives.

All the governments were very curious about this orphan girl who married King Jin under the name of Queen Mother and Emperor's savior.

Although Jiang Changning was not familiar with their appearance, he knew their names and identities. During the conversation, he did not show the slightest timidity.

Concubine De, who was talking with Princess Jin, smiled and praised: "Sister-in-law, your little daughter-in-law is worthy of being from an aristocratic family, and she is much better than some people."

Princess Jin smiled, "It's okay."

There were not many people in the main hall, who were watching the song and dance performance seriously, but the maikos still danced with dedication, and the musicians also played their instruments with dedication.

　Joe's death is coming to an end.
