The Evil King's Favorite Concubine: Genius Perfumer

Chapter 247 Concubine Jiang Visiting Relatives ([-])

"There is no particularly effective way. I think it is better to leave this kind of matter to the officers and soldiers."

Fang Shaobai nodded innocently.

"Well, you decide." Han Rui smiled meaningfully, he knew that Brother Shaobai would never do such a thing, just kidding himself...

Deling City, Jiangfu.

As the evening approached, the hustle and bustle inside and outside the Jiang Mansion did not show any signs of weakening.

Although the welcoming wall that has been lined up neatly since early morning has disappeared from the alley in front of the mansion, the rows of chariots and horses are still pouring towards Jiang Mansion in an endless stream.

The officials and gentry all over the city sent their representatives with the most respectable status to greet the concubine Jiang who had returned to visit her relatives.Even if the emperor's relatives are all over the world now, and the idle clan is worthless, the King of Xiang is different from those low-ranking clans!

In any case, he is also the emperor's own son, and now he is still living in the capital with his family - before the emperor passed on the throne, theoretically, every son had the opportunity to inherit the throne.Anyway, even if you don't invest in King Xiang, there is no need to offend such a prince, right?
In fact, if it weren't for Han Rui's low-key personality and the least socializing, he would definitely receive piles of flattery.But every time Han Rui came back to Deling, he would be haunted by ghosts. Except for a few close relatives of the Fang family, he didn't like to see anyone, and it was impossible for others to get close and flatter him.

Concubine Jiang came back with great fanfare this time, in stark contrast to Han Rui's quiet return to Deling.

The male guests among the guests will naturally be received by the Jiang family's masters in the outer room, and only female guests with a certain status can be invited into the inner house to meet Jiang Concubine and Empress Concubine Jiang.

In order to welcome my aunt back to her hometown, Jiang Mansion has been extensively renovated inside and out, and the inner hall is now also decorated with colorful flowers.

Concubine Jiang was sitting at the head of this lavish and luxurious inner hall, her attire was relatively simple and elegant, she did not wear the rich clothes of a married woman corresponding to her status.Just kidding, I just met a few women in the village, can I dress up carefully?That's the downfall.

The relatives and female relatives of the Jiang family and the visiting female guests sitting next to him were all dressed neatly, lest they would be misunderstood by the concubine Jiang as being negligent and rude.In the hot weather, everyone wears three layers of brocade dresses. Fortunately, there are big ice basins at the four corners of the hall, and there are maids fanning the cool breeze non-stop, so it is not likely to cause heat stroke faint.

Concubine Jiang, who was nearly [-] years old, looked like a young woman in her early twenties from a distance because she was well maintained, with a slender figure and beautiful eyebrows and eyes.In the past few years, there have been many beauties who have come and gone in Xiang Wangfu, but no one has been able to snatch her favor from Xiang Wang, which shows that Jiang Concubine's methods are astonishing.

I can't help it, thinking back then she relied on this skin to turn her cousin-in-law into her own husband, and he was also the stepwife that the media is marrying, was it easy?If you don't take good care of it, how can you keep petting it?

It's just that time is not forgiving, and no matter how hard you take care of it, it can't match the passage of time. Concubine Jiang's eyes finally have fine lines that are difficult to get rid of.She also knows that it is not enough to win over the King of Xiang by just relying on appearance and wrist... You must manage your own business well, and have enough assets, gold and silver, to be able to spend money all the way to support your son!
Thinking of her precious son Han Cong, Concubine Jiang was really both in love and anger.This time he went back to his hometown for his own important affairs, so he had to leave his son in the capital. I wonder if that kid will be obedient and stop causing trouble?How can a child who is less than ten years old be so naughty!
Of course, Han Cong's deeds would be more than just naughty in the eyes of others.The famous scholars and Confucians who were hired by my mother to teach with a lot of money frequently acted violently. Not only did they refuse to obey the discipline of the husband, but they also came up with all kinds of weird ways to tease the husband.He also beat and scolded the servants of the family, and slapped him with big ear blows at the slightest dissatisfaction, more majestic than King Xiang.

The king of Xiang was born impatient with the affairs of the children in the backyard, and the concubine Jiang blindly pampered him.

In fact, Concubine Jiang is the most shrewd, but this son is her heart and soul, and she always feels that "the child will grow up when he is young".And there are no elders to control her in Prince Xiang's mansion, and her mother's family is thousands of miles away. The concubine only wants to protect herself, and the only eldest son Han Rui who can speak in front of her will not kindly remind her not to raise her son.

Just before Concubine Jiang left the capital, she hired a new gentleman for Han Cong, but she didn't know if she could last until she returned to Beijing.It is impossible for those well-known scholars to endure Han Cong's yellow mouth all the time, so what if he is the son of King Xiang?

In the Great Xiao, the power of Shilin Qingliu is no worse than that of nobles...

Concubine Jiang finally showed a bit of tiredness after casually dealing with all the female guests who came to visit.Mrs. Zhou of the Jiang Manor came over with a wink and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the dinner will be served soon."

It means that if you hold on for a while, you can go back to rest after dinner.

Concubine Jiang twitched the corner of her mouth, as if giving her sister-in-law a good look, but suddenly thought of someone.

Hmph, I've been here for a long time, and that kid Han Rui doesn't even show half of his face?How brave he is!
On the pier, Concubine Jiang didn't see Han Rui coming to greet her, so she felt overwhelmed at the time.It's just that there are so many people that it's hard to get angry, and the few letters sent by her natal family through the post station a few days ago made her have to re-examine this obtrusive stepson.

Damn Han Rui, his life is really tough!Why didn't he go there early like his frail mother?

I remember that he was also a sick child when he was a child. At that time, the imperial doctor who came to Xiangwang's mansion also said privately that this child was born with a weak disease, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to raise him.

At that time, the concubine Fang of Hunan had been ill for a long time, and she depended on the medicinal juice to hang her life.Han Rui also took medicine with his mother. He had a cold and cough every three days. The four or five-year-old boy looked like a three-year-old, with a small yellow face, and he didn't have the atmosphere of a royal child at all.

She went to Beijing with Fang Jiang's family at that time, saying that Princess Fang missed her family and relatives and wanted to call some relatives to Beijing to meet - everyone knows that this is to explain the funeral.

Originally, she was only Princess Fang's cousin. If it happened that Fangjiang's family didn't have any girls of the right age to go to Beijing, she would not be able to enter the palace.Unexpectedly... In the end, she was fulfilled!

"If I had known at the time, I would have been cruel and gave this kid to..."

Concubine Jiang thought bitterly in her heart.

When she married into the palace, she clearly looked at Han Rui's child who had died young, but now she has grown up perfectly!That's not all, he didn't know where he learned martial arts?
Thinking of this, Concubine Jiang's mood became even worse.But at this time, I heard a servant report that Han Rui, the eldest son of Prince Xiang, has arrived at the mansion to serve his mother and concubine——

Serving the concubine?

The sarcasm on Concubine Jiang's face flashed away.
