Chapter 100 Foreshadowing
King Jin went over to take a look and smiled, "Ning Ning is really lucky. This should be Zhao Mengjian's "Picture of Three Friends in the Winter"."
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the north wind is howling, the snow is white, and everything is withered.
On the desolate and cold earth, there are only three kinds of plants that survive the winter and bloom in cold weather. These are "pine, bamboo, and plum", which are the three friends of winter.
The Three Friends of Suihan are often included in poetry and paintings. This "Picture of Three Friends of Suihan" painted by Zhao Mengjian is definitely a treasure.
The pine needles are outlined with light ink, the brushwork is light and bright, elegant and scattered.
The thick ink of bamboo leaves is broad and the pen is strong and strong.
The sparse plum blossoms are drawn with the circle-petal method, and the stamens, calyxes and buds are clustered randomly, making them natural and vivid.
It not only well expresses the proud look of pines, bamboos and plum trees standing in the cold winter, but also reflects the artist's profound painting skills and superb painting skills.
It also reflects the noble spiritual integrity and aesthetic taste advocated by the painter as a literati.
After unexpectedly getting such a good painting, Jiang Changning asked enthusiastically: "This treasure hunt is very fun, shall we go again tomorrow?"
King Jin smiled, "Treasure hunting doesn't happen every day. The market only opens on the seventh day."
Jiang Changning's eyes moved slightly, which meant that even if she did not go to Baling Prince's Mansion with him to express condolences today, he would find a reason to kidnap her out to hunt for treasure.
Is this a little surprise?
As a housewife who cannot go out at will, Jiang Changning liked such little surprises. She looked up at King Jin and smiled and said, "I gave this painting to Yong Zhou. Thank you Yong Zhou for taking me out to gain experience."
"I don't want this kind of thank you." Prince Jin smiled, stretched out his long arms, pulled her into his arms, and said something in her ear.
Jiang Changning's face turned red, "No."
"It's very comfortable. Let's give it a try tonight, okay?" King Jin took Jiang Changning's earlobe in his mouth, "Ningning, so good Ningning, so good."
Prince Jin is a very good man in bed. When he feels comfortable, he can also make his partner reach the ultimate level.
It's just that the posture King Jin mentioned was too demanding on bending the waist, and Jiang Changning didn't think he could do it.
But when King Jin came up with this idea, he naturally wanted to get his little princess to agree.
By the time he went to bed at night, he finally succeeded.
After achieving that posture, Jiang Changning believed that human potential is infinite.
The next day, when she went to the Liuxuan Courtyard to pay her respects to the concubine, Mrs. Qiao looked at the tender Jiang Changning who was being nourished by the King of Jin. Her eyes were full of jealousy and she said, "No matter how hard the cattle plow the barren fields, it's useless. It's better to let the cattle plow more."
Fertile fields are the only way to have a harvest, County Lord, what do you think?"
Jiang Changning raised his eyebrows, smiled wantonly and wildly, and asked, "It's hard to see the delicious food on the table but not eat it, isn't it, sister-in-law?"
"The county master is not afraid that he will be in bad health if he eats too much?" Qiao said viciously.
"I wonder which one is more likely to be bad for you: overeating or not eating enough?" Jiang Changning asked with a smirk.
At this time, the maid came in supporting the concubine, and the verbal dispute between the two sisters came to an end.
"Greetings to my mother and concubine, may my mother and concubine be blessed." The two sisters saluted respectfully.
Princess Kangren was infected with cold and felt unwell, so she sent her maid over.
Knowing that Princess Kangren was ill, the concubine told Mrs. Qiao, "Invite the imperial doctor to come into the house and take a good look at her. Don't make her sick at such a young age."
"I've sent someone to ask for the imperial doctor."
"Kangren was sick. My sister-in-law went to take care of her, but she didn't come to pay her respects. Is it because she was afraid that she would blame her?"
Before Qiao could say anything to argue, Jiang Changning quickly continued: "Sister-in-law, you have misunderstood my concubine. She is not that kind of unreasonable person."
The concubine looked at Mrs. Qiao with dissatisfaction in her eyes.
Princess Kangren is not a male grandson, so her attention is limited, but now she is the only grandson and the only bloodline of her eldest son, and she cares about and loves him.
"You have to take good care of Kangren." The concubine said seriously.
When Mrs. Qiao saw Jiang Changning and said a few words, she provoked the concubine to become angry with her, and her teeth itched with hatred.
Mrs. Qiao was deeply jealous of Jiang Changning, and the concubine treated Jiang Changning much better than she treated her.
I really didn't expect that the delicate and weak Jiang family would be more difficult to deal with than the Pu family who had the backing of the Anning Marquis.
Mrs. Jiang could no longer stay, and Mrs. Qiao's eyes showed a cold light.
This matter cannot be delayed any longer, or it will become a serious problem for Mr. Jiang.
Jiang Changning glanced at her and said to the concubine with a smile: "Mother concubine, I heard that on the Lantern Festival, a stage was set up on the Qingshui Bridge to sing various operas. My daughter-in-law, please accompany you to watch."
The concubine waved her hands and said: "The streets on Shangyuan Festival are full of people, squeezing here and there, so I won't go there. You kids, just have fun."
"Then I'll go see it and tell my mother and concubine after I read it." Jiang Changning said with a smile.
Mrs. Qiao interrupted: "Mother, it's time for breakfast."
"Sister-in-law, why are you always thinking about eating?" Jiang Changning pouted.
"Besides eating, what else can she care about?" the concubine said angrily.
Jiang Changning's eyes flashed with sarcasm, he could still miss his brother-in-law.
Unable to say these words, Jiang Changning glanced at Mrs. Qiao and helped the concubine up, "Concubine, they say that Qingshui Bridge is the most effective way to cure all diseases. Is it true?"
"There is such a rumor, so every year, most people go to Qingshui Bridge to walk on Baibing." said the concubine.
"Walking Qingshui Bridge can cure all kinds of diseases. No matter how crowded there are, we still have to go for a walk." Jiang Changning expressed his determination to go to Qingshui Bridge.
Mr. Qiao, who was following behind, narrowed his eyes slightly, with a strange smile on his lips.
On the night of the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Changning specifically reminded King Jin, "After the morning court tomorrow, come back to the mansion. Miss Chen will serve us tea."
"This is an insignificant matter, but you should keep it in mind." King Jin said angrily.
When Jiang Changning heard this, he refused, "Your Majesty, please tell me, is there anything important that I have forgotten?"
"When is my birthday? Are your birthday gifts ready?" King Jin asked.
Jiang Changning smiled, "Your birthday is on the seventh day of February. It's almost a month away. I will definitely prepare a birthday gift."
"If you give me a birthday gift that I am not satisfied with, you will be punished."
"This is going to be difficult." Jiang Changning stretched out his finger and poked Prince Jin's chest, "If the prince is satisfied and says he is not satisfied, then my punishment will be final."
King Jin grabbed her hand and said, "I am not like you, who talks twice and means what I mean."
"I don't think anyone is telling the truth." Jiang Changning said firmly.
Prince Jin leaned into her ear and said a few words, once again making his little princess blush.
The next day, Jiang Changning waited in Ruyiyuan until it was already midnight, but King Jin had not returned yet. "Call Chunlai and go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites. Hurry."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the voice of the maid in the courtyard greeting King Jin.
Jiang Changning opened the curtain and walked out, looking at Prince Jin who was wearing plain clothes and said, "Your Majesty, come in quickly and change your clothes. Don't miss the time."
Chen Yi's status has been decided long ago, and if she continues to be dragged on, outsiders will think that she, the principal wife, is intolerable.
"I want to choose a time to serve you tea." King Jin had a bad impression of Chen Yi, and he didn't want to give face to my concubine.
"I'm busy and want to pick a good time, okay?" Jiang Changning pulled him into the Nuan Pavilion.
"Okay, okay, whatever you want is fine." King Jin smiled, his tone full of indulgence.
