In the Prince Jin's Mansion.
Zhou Jiayun waited until dark, but did not see Prince Jin coming. After asking around, she found out that Prince Jin had gone to Concubine Wu's place.
Zhou Jiayun was extremely reluctant to marry the Prince of Jin, but she had always thought that she would be favored by the Prince of Jin based on her appearance, family background, and the fact that she was the Emperor's cousin. Unexpectedly, on the first day of their wedding, the Prince of Jin went to Concubine Wu's place...
"What is the origin of this Concubine Wu?"
The nanny beside Zhou Jiayun had already found out everything, and said, "I have always wanted to tell you, Concubine, but you don't want to hear it. This Concubine Wu has a great background. She is the daughter of the wet nurse beside Princess Qi and has served Qi Yuning since she was a child. It is said that Princess Qi previously gave the important assets of the Qi family to Concubine Wu for disposal.
After Concubine Wu entered the palace, His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin handed over many of the properties in the palace to Concubine Wu to manage. It is said that Concubine Wu is quite capable in the business world and is deeply loved by the prince. Since Concubine Wu entered the palace, the Prince of Jin has never visited other concubines again. "
Zhou Jiayun frowned upon hearing this and said, "Qi Yuning's maid? But now I am not even as good as Qi Yuning's maid?"
Zhou Jiayun only felt that the anger accumulated in his heart became even heavier.
Zhou Jiayun stood up and said, "Let's go to Xiwu Courtyard. I want to see Prince Jin in person."
Inside Xiwu Courtyard.
Shuang Jiang lay powerlessly on the bed. Seeing the unyielding look in King Jin's eyes, she said, "Your Highness, today a new concubine is coming. If you still have the strength, please go to the new concubine!"
King Jin pinched Shuangjiang's chin and said, "You have a good master! If I go to Zhou Jiayun's room today, your good master will threaten me again tomorrow!"
Zhou Jiayun walked into the courtyard despite the maidservants' obstruction. She heard the words of King Jin coming from inside the house. Zhou Jiayun dug her nails deeply into her palms and turned away.
It was Qi Yuning again, and Qi Yuning's hand was stretched too far.
Shuang Jiang said in the arms of King Jin: "My princess has no interest in meddling in your backyard affairs. She is just worried about my health."
The hand that King Jin was holding on Shuangjiang's chin loosened, and he touched Shuangjiang's face and said, "Rong'er won't live long. Her legs have already rotted away. I don't want her to be sad. In her last days, she doesn't want brothers and sisters, so I won't give her brothers and sisters. After she passes away, I will stop giving you medicine..."
Shuangjiang said: "Princess Rong is still young. If you can be ruthless and help her get rid of her addiction to opium, she will have a chance to survive."
"How easy is it to quit opium?"
Shuangjiang said, "I heard from a Persian merchant that this fetus is addicted to opium in the womb. If the mother who is addicted to opium is not allowed to feed the baby, nothing will happen. I really don't understand why Princess Jin risked her life to give birth to a daughter who is addicted to opium. Isn't this harming the child and herself?"
"Shuangjiang, you're going too far." Prince Jin said coldly, "Princess Jin is not someone you can talk about."
Shuang Jiang looked at the King of Jin and said, "The Princess of Jin is selfish. She knows that you are sincere to her, but she tries to tie you down with a child for life. She even lets the maidservants around her teach the little princess not to let you continue to take a princess and have children. She doesn't care about you, let alone the child.
Among the wealthy families in Shengjing City, everyone knows that the eldest daughter who has lost her mother cannot be married. If Princess Jin really cares about her daughter, she should have chosen a mistress with a kind heart and good family background for the Xu Palace when her life was in danger, just like Princess Xu did, who could protect her daughter..."
King Jin glared at Shuangjiang and said, "You talked too much today."
"If Your Majesty thinks I talk too much, then Concubine Zhou should be the one who talks less."
King Jin narrowed his narrow fox eyes and looked at the powerless Frost without any pity. He did not let her go until an hour later when Frost begged for mercy in a hoarse voice.
Prince Jin walked out of the house and into the courtyard. He took advantage of the moonlight to recall what Arong had asked him to do without Shuangjiang today. He had always loved Arong, but she had refused. He knew from the beginning that Shuangjiang was different from the Princess of Jin. They looked similar, but had very different personalities.
Princess Jin was born into an aristocratic family that has been around for thousands of years. She is pure and unworldly, and has the character of a daughter of an aristocratic family.
As for Shuangjiang, perhaps she had worked in the business world, had been a maid, and was from the Qi family. She was gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, and although she looked extremely vulgar, that added a lot of liveliness to her.
Prince Jin took a deep breath. When Qi Yuning stood up for Shuangjiang today, Prince Jin was not annoyed at all. After Qi Yuning knew his feelings, he smiled bitterly. It seemed that his so-called deep love was just like this.
After all, if someone had dared to speak ill of the princess in front of him before, he would have definitely not let that person stay.
After washing up, Frost felt stuffy, so he opened the window and saw the man in the yard. The crescent moon was dim, the sky was dark, and there were only two servants holding lanterns beside him.
Shuang Jiang said from the window: "Your Highness, why are you still standing there in the courtyard? Why don't you go to Concubine Zhou's place? Otherwise, you will be blamed by the Queen Mother tomorrow!"
The King of Jin turned around and looked at Shuangjiang in the window. Why did he think Shuangjiang looked like the princess? After all, there was no similarity except for the face.
"I am not afraid of being blamed by the Queen Mother!"
The Prince of Jin does not seek the throne, so he is not afraid of anything. As the uncle of the young emperor, he does not seek a future in the court, and the Empress Dowager has no reason to blame him for not visiting his concubine.
Zhou Jiayun sat in the new room with the wedding character pasted on it all night until she saw Chen Xiao. She laughed coldly, stood up, took down the wedding character beside the bed, and tore it into pieces!
…
The next day, when Qi Yuning got up, she saw that it was already noon outside, and she couldn't help but sigh.
When Xiaoman saw Qi Yuning stand up, she stepped forward excitedly and said, "Princess, Princess, Prince Jin did not go to Zhou Jiayun's room yesterday. I heard that Prince Jin asked for water three times from Sister Shuangjiang yesterday!"
Qi Yuning stretched out his finger and tapped Xiaoman's head: "You have the ability to find out about this? Aren't you ashamed?"
Xiao Man said: "What is there to be ashamed of? I am only telling you that it seems that the King of Jin really likes Sister Shuang Jiang!"
Qi Yuning said to Xiaoman: "Don't ask about other people's backyard affairs anymore."
Xiaoman said: "Oh."
After dressing up, Qi Yuning dealt with official business until noon, when she finally had time to have lunch with Lingling.
Each room in the princess's mansion has separate lunch.
Lingling saw Qi Yuning having lunch. She stared at the dishes on the table with her mouth watering.
Lingling quickly took a piece of mutton from the plate that the maid in front of Qi Yuning served her, and stuffed it into her mouth in an instant.
Seeing this, Qi Yuning snatched the mutton from Xiao Lingling's hands, "How can your hands be so fast? You can't eat it yet!"
"Eat!" Lingling's small peach blossom eyes looked at the mutton that Qi Yuning threw back on the table, and her two greasy little hands were about to grab it, "Eat! Eat! Again and again."
Qi Yuning never thought that the first word Lingling could say would not be "mother" or "daddy", but "eat, meat".
“Eat, eat!”
Qi Yuning listened to Lingling's unclear words and handed Lingling to A Li beside him. Under Lingling's gaze, he ate half a plate of mutton.
It was a great joy for Qi Yuning that the baby Lingling could say the word "eat" in a baby voice.
After lunch, Qi Yuning went to the palace to deliver food to Lu Ze, and told him the good news that Lingling could speak. After all, Lingling's babbling before was somewhat vague, but today she uttered the word "eat" clearly.
Qi Yuning delivered the meal to the Qiming Hall next to the Zichen Hall. Lu Ze was currently handling government affairs in the Qiming Hall.
When Qi Yuning arrived at the Qiming Palace, he sneaked in without being notified, and heard Qin Feng's words, "It's hard to drink and chat with you now. You are busy during the day, and you always go home early at night."
Lu Ze smiled softly and said, "Now that you have a wife and daughter, you naturally can't drink at night anymore. If you are alone and bored, can I help you find a wife?"
Qin Feng said, "Come on, I am not worthy of your vision. You are the only one in Shengjing who dares to marry Princess Qi."
Lin Jiang said beside Qin Feng: "Hahaha, don't let Princess Qi hear you saying this."
Qi Yuning heard this outside, but she never expected that Qin Feng would actually talk about her behind her back, so she went inside and said, "I haven't congratulated Prince Qin on his promotion to Minister of Justice yet."
Qin Feng didn't expect that the first time he talked about Qi Yuning behind her back, Qi Yuning heard it all and said respectfully, "Princess."
Lu Zelian stood up and walked to the door, took the food box from Qi Yuning and asked, "Why are you here?"
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and said, "If I don't come, how can I listen to your brother talking about me behind my back?"
Lu Ze smiled and said, "Qin Feng doesn't mean any harm, what's the matter?"
Qi Yuning said: "I came to tell you that Lingling can talk, and to bring you some food." (End of this chapter)
