Chapter 27 The True and False Crown Prince's Concubine
With the standard character of being beautiful, strong and tragic, Nangong Jing not only possesses all the advantages of a man, but is also completely devoted to Murong Qing.
Not only did he silently guard her and give up everything, but in the end, in order to prevent Murong Qing from being sad, he even gouged out his own eyes and donated them to Shen Yutang, who was blinded by the poison... Along with the 200,000 elite soldiers that he had spent his entire life and the whole country's strength to build, he handed them over to Shen Yutang, helping him ascend to the pinnacle of power.
On the night when Murong Qing was crowned as queen, Nangong Jing, upon realizing that a traitor was causing trouble, died in battle with the rebels in the snow outside the city.
In a way she didn't know, he protected her for the last time.
Jiang Wanning still remembers...
When she was reading the book, she was so obsessed with the emotional subplot between Murong Qing and Nangong Jing that every time she saw Shen Yutang interrupting her, she wanted to swatter him away.
Especially when I saw Nangong Jing alone and sad.
She couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Murong Qing is really blind. She would rather not have such a powerful, gentle and devoted man than get entangled with that bastard who always makes her angry. She must have a masochistic tendency.
But now it seems that if Murong Qing and Shen Yutang can divorce, Nangong Jing may have a chance to come out?
If it really doesn't work, she wants to do it herself.
After all, she is a wife!
Such a loving and loyal man often only exists in books. In reality, you can't find one even if you dig three feet deep into the ground... Good things should be kept within the family.
…
The study of the prime minister's residence.
"A-choo."
Nangong Jing's nose felt slightly itchy and he couldn't help but sneeze.
I felt inexplicably as if something strange was targeting me.
Seeing this, the servant hurried over to close the window, then picked up the cloak hanging on the chair and put it on Nangong Jing.
"Master, the wind is strong today. The catkins by the lake are probably flying around a lot. Why don't you just not go to Mingxiang Teahouse?"
Nangong Jing's skin is whiter than snow, and his handsome face is as beautiful as jade, but with a hint of weakness. However, his lips are as red as the rouge on a woman's dressing table. Even when he is sick, he looks better than others.
"It's no problem. It's a rare opportunity for the Marquis of Pingyang to invite me. Coincidentally, the Qinzhai across from the teahouse recently acquired two famous zithers, and I'd like to go and take a look... Go and prepare the carriage."
"Yes, Master."
…
Mingxiang Teahouse.
Jiang Wanning arrived a little early, so he took Murong Qing around the teahouse twice and then went outside to take a look at the environment.
It was indeed as Nanny Lin said, the teahouse was located by the mountain and the water. Although it was built in a relatively prosperous area, it was a quiet place in the hustle and bustle, which was just right for Murong Qing's habits.
"Qingqing, how is it? Do you like this building?"
Murong Qing was extremely satisfied, but didn't dare to show it too much on her face: "This building looks new, and the location is so good... I'm afraid the price is not cheap."
Jiang Wanning spoke arrogantly and waved his hand.
"Don't worry about the price. Your mother-in-law is not short of money and can still afford a building. Just tell me if you like it or not."
Murong Qing nodded slightly and responded softly.
"Um."
This was the first time in her life that she felt what "spoiled" was from her mother-in-law.
She couldn't help but think in her heart that Shen Yutang had had it too easy these years, but he didn't know how to appreciate his blessings and always complained about his mother-in-law being too nosy. What an ungrateful person he was.
As the two were about to walk back to the teahouse, they heard a burst of flowing piano music coming from the piano room diagonally opposite the teahouse. It sounded very pleasant, like a gentle breeze blowing on your face.
Even Jiang Wanning, who has always been picky about his ears, thought that this person played the piano quite well.
Seeing Murong Qing pause, obviously attracted by the sound of the piano, Jiang Wanning took her hand and walked into the piano room.
"This looks like a piano shop? Let's go in and take a look..."
When the two of them walked in, the piano music stopped.
There was no one playing the piano in the house.
A hint of disappointment flashed across Murong Qing's face, but his attention was soon attracted by a guqin placed in the middle of the shelf.
Jiang Wanning followed him over. Although she didn't know much about antiques, it didn't affect her ability to identify valuables.
Especially this piano is specially displayed separately, it is obviously a good thing.
"Qingqing, how about this zither? If you like it, let's buy it... Anyway, I brought enough money with me today."
Murong Qing's cheeks turned red when she heard this, and she quickly withdrew her hand that had just reached out to touch the strings. She was obviously shocked by her mother-in-law's extravagance.
I subconsciously declined.
"No, no need... Mother has already spent all the money on the clinic, so why should I ask for anything else?"
Jiang Wanning disagreed, thinking that he would leave the Marquis' Mansion in the future.
She especially enjoys the feeling of spending money like water.
"Why are you being so polite to me? I remember you playing the piano quite well... and your birthday seems to be coming soon, so this piano is perfect as a birthday gift for you!"
"But this piano looks very valuable. I don't need such a good one."
"I just want to buy something expensive. At worst, the money I spend will be charged to Yutang's account. He usually spends lavishly on me anyway."
Murong Qing still felt a little hesitant: "Wouldn't this be... not good?"
Jiang Wanning waved his hand and spoke confidently.
"What's the big deal? That evil creature made you unhappy, so you should spend his money as much as possible! Otherwise, if you keep putting yourself down here and saving money for him, and he turns around and spends it on other women, you'll be sick to death."
Hearing this, Murong Qing's eyes flickered slightly, and she couldn't help but think of the birthday gift Shen Yutang gave to Murong Yan'er every year.
Her birthday is very close to Murong Yan'er's.
So every time Murong Yan'er received a birthday gift from Shen Yutang, she would run to her to show off.
As her husband, Shen Yutang never asked about her birthday, obviously he never took it to heart.
But she is not sad now.
Because her mother-in-law remembered her birthday and bought her gifts, she felt so happy just thinking about it.
The two were talking.
The owner of Qinzhai had just seen off a wealthy businessman and hurriedly came up to him with a smile, apologizing.
"Madams, I'm afraid I'm sorry! This Jiuxiao Huanpei Qin was already spotted by the Crown Prince's Consort from the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion yesterday... She said she'd come and take it away today, so I'm afraid I can't sell it to you two."
Murong Qing: “?”
Jiang Wanning: “?”
Hearing the shopkeeper say this, the two of them looked at each other in surprise.
Their faces all had expressions as if they had seen a ghost.
What's going on?
Wasn't Qingqing standing right in front of her? How could a consort from the Pingyang Marquisate suddenly appear? ...Outrageous.
In order to avoid making a mistake, Jiang Wanning even confirmed it with the shopkeeper.
"Shopkeeper, I didn't hear clearly just now... Which prince's consort are you talking about?"
"Isn't she the Crown Prince's Consort of the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion? Oh, you two couldn't be from other places, right? How come you don't even know about the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion?"
