The mother and son did not allow the King of Jin and others to refuse, and as soon as they sang in harmony, they rewarded the group of dancers.

The King of Jin reluctantly thanked the other sixteen officials, and after the Qianqiu Banquet, each of them took one back to his home.

Returning to the mansion, King Jin asked Chang Youzhong to arrange for the well-known dancer, "Just find a remote courtyard for her, and don't bother the princess."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chang Youzhong accepted the order.

When King Jin returned to Rujing Courtyard, Jiang Changning was standing in the corridor playing with the parrot. When he saw him come in, he was about to raise a smile to say hello, but saw that he had a gloomy face.

Jiang Changning's heart skipped a beat. Did something go wrong at the Qianqiu Banquet?

Welcoming King Jin into the room and sitting down, he served tea with his own hands, "Yong Zhou, what happened?"

Prince Jin took the tea cup, took two sips, put it down, and said, "Ning Ning, come here and let me hug you."

Jiang Changning didn't know what happened, so he obediently threw himself into his arms.

King Jin held her quietly for a while, then let go and said: "That beast, let the dancer sing "A Girl in a Car" at the Qianqiu Banquet."

Jiang Changning didn't react immediately. After all, this poem was not widely sung.

When she remembered the words in the poem, her face turned cold and she said angrily: "I shouldn't have taken the risk to save this beast back then!"

"You are right to save people, but he is ungrateful and wants to repay kindness with hatred, so he is not worthy of being a human being." King Jin quickly comforted his angry wife.

Jiang Changning walked around the room twice, but couldn't find anything cheap to smash, so he could only throw himself on the kang, grab the pillow, "Ahhhhh!"

He held the pillow as if he were the emperor and punched him several times to vent his anger.

"Don't hurt your hands." Prince Jin hugged her.

"What should we do in the future?" Jiang Changning leaned in his arms, with a faint look of worry in his eyes, "Without the thousand-year principle of guarding against thieves, it is impossible for me not to attend the palace banquet."

After a pause, Jiang Changning continued: "Even if I claim to be ill and never attend the palace banquet, the Queen Mother will not just let me go. She will definitely summon me to the palace. After all, she proposed me to you,

She has no good intentions, I am a chess piece she stuffed into the palace, she will definitely let me play my role."

"Ning Ning, I'm not telling you this to bother you. You have to believe me. I won't let him hurt you."

Jiang Changning turned around in his arms and looked up at him, "Yong Zhou, haven't you ever doubted me?"

King Jin reached out and touched the corners of her eyes, "A person with such clear and smart eyes will not become someone else's pawn."

Jiang Changning smiled, stood up on tiptoes, and kissed him on the lips, "Yong Zhou, thank you, I will be a good Princess Jin."

Prince Jin did not hear the reservation in her words, but told her, "There is another freeloader in the house."

Jiang Changning's mouth twitched slightly, "You rewarded another beauty?"

"A dancing one."

Jiang Changning raised his eyebrows, "You're the one who danced "A Girl in a Car"?"

King Jin nodded, and Jiang Changning chuckled, "Okay, now we have four tables of mahjong."

"It takes too much money to raise so many idle people."

"My lord, don't be so stingy."

"My salary is meager and it is not easy to support a family, my princess."

Jiang Changning pursed his lips and smiled, "Then I can find a way to sell them all to make some money from selling myself?"

"Thank you, Princess."

Jiang Changning snorted softly, "If I really kick them all out, my reputation as a jealous woman will definitely resound throughout the entire capital."

This was one of the reasons why she did not drive Wang Jiao'e and Fan Meizhu away to Zhuangzi.

"I did it."

"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that I will be spoiled by my pampering?"

"I just love Ning Ning's delicate look, especially in bed." King Jin said the second half of the sentence while biting Jiang Changning's earlobe.

Jiang Changning gave him a light slap and said, "Not serious."

"If I were serious about you, you would cry." King Jin said with a smile.

"Hate."

"This can't be done, I can't make you hate me." King Jin pressed the person on the kang and scratched him.

Jiang Changning was ticklish, so she avoided his hand while laughing so hard that her branches trembled.

The couple laughed for a while, and Jiang Changning's hair was spread out. He asked the maid to come in and dress up again.

Jiang Changning handed the military book on the shelf to King Jin, "Let's read the book. Don't tickle me anymore."

"Okay, let's read." King Jin looked at the bright sunshine outside, a little regretful that it was getting dark too early.

Both of them were sitting on the kang, with different postures. One was leaning on the pillow and reading a storybook, while the other was sitting upright and reading a book of war.

At the beginning of the Youshi period, the two of them went to the Liuxuan Courtyard to pay their respects to the concubine and have dinner with her.

After dinner, on the way back to Rujingyuan, Cao Jiang came over and said that he had something to report.

"I'm going to the Jingshe Hall and will be back soon." King Jin said.

"Okay." Jiang Changning returned to Rujingyuan.

Cao Jiang reported to the King of Jin that he was investigating Chen Daochang, "What he said is true. Mr. Gu will introduce him to meet the prince, not all because of accepting his money."

"Is it possible that he is thinking about the daughter of the Chen family?" King Jin said casually.

Cao Jiang smiled, "Your Majesty is wise."

King Jin was stunned and couldn't help but laugh, "Since he likes her, let him invite a matchmaker to come to propose marriage and bring him in as a continuation of his marriage."

"My subordinates will inform Mr. Gu."

"As for the vacancy..." King Jin pondered for a moment, "There is always loyalty."

"Your Majesty, there are vacancies in the Department of Civil Affairs of the Ministry of War and Dushui City of the Ministry of Industry. The mother of Dali Si Yousi Cheng is seriously ill and it will be time to submit a letter soon." Chang Youzhong replied.

"Let him go to the Ministry of War to stay first." King Jin said.

The King of Jin made arrangements, and Chang Youzhong and Cao Jiang acted separately.

Guzhongjiao was overjoyed to learn that the King of Jin had agreed to marry Chen Dingding. He immediately informed his parents, invited a matchmaker and went to Chen's house.

Although Gu Zhongjiao was twelve years older than Chen Dingding, he still remarried, and he still had a legitimate daughter from his original wife, but Gu Zhongjiao was the cousin of King Jin and also had an official position.

The most important thing is that Chen Dingding married her as a real wife.

It is said that she would rather be the concubine of a rich man than the wife of a poor man, but the Gu family is not poor.

Who wants to be a rich man's concubine when he can be a rich man's wife?

Although the Gu family's family status is not as high as that of Prince Jin's family, it is already a great blessing to be able to climb up to the Gu family.

Moreover, the wife’s natal family are the legitimate relatives.

Chen Daochang and Mrs. Chen are quite satisfied with this marriage.

However, Chen Dingding was unwilling and asked why.

He just said: "My daughter is still young and wants to stay with her parents for a few more years."

She knew her daughter Mo Ruomu, and Mrs. Chen saw through her at a glance and knew that her daughter still wanted to enter the palace and become a concubine for King Jin.

"Ding'er, although Prince Jin is good, he is not your beloved. If you become his concubine, your life and death will depend on the princess. You have no control over it. Not to mention anything else, you need the princess's permission even if you go home to visit your parents.

.”

Chen Dingding bit her lower lip and didn't answer. It was obvious that her mother's words did not convince her.

"Ding'er, if King Jin wants to take you as his concubine, Mr. Gu will never let a matchmaker come to propose marriage. This marriage shows King Jin's intention. So, Ding'er, even if you reject this marriage,

The prince will not accept you either."
