Chapter 161 Seeking a child
When Zhao Cheng told the whole story, Jiang Changning didn't know what to say. How could it be such a coincidence?
"Do those officials think Uncle Wu was bribing Mr. Jiao in this way?" Jiang Changning asked.
It cost eight thousand taels of silver to buy that shop.
"Yes." Zhao Cheng replied.
Jiang Changning knew that it would be difficult for the Zhou brothers who were at home to handle this matter. He pondered for a moment and said, "I understand the matter. I will rescue Uncle Wu."
In the evening, when King Jin returned to his residence, Jiang Changning solemnly told him about the matter, "Yong Zhou, Uncle Wu is an old servant of the Jiang family. He has been loyally managing the Jiang family's business. He will never do anything illegal.
Go bribe officials."
The King of Jin saw her stern, serious, and extremely cute face. He smiled slightly and said, "Instead of bribing those petty officials with money, it is better to bribe me, the prince, with beauty."
As he spoke, he reached out and pulled the person into his arms, "This is a simple matter. I am doing something for the princess. How can the princess thank me?"
Jiang Changning listened to what he said with ease, knowing that there was room for maneuver in this matter, so he breathed a sigh of relief, put his little hand on his chest, looked up at him, his eyes were as charming as silk, and he smiled sweetly.
"How does the prince want the little girl to express his gratitude?" Jiang Changning's voice was soft and sweet, as if it had been mixed with honey.
Prince Jin came up to her and said a few words in her ear.
Jiang Changning blushed and pushed King Jin, "I don't want it."
"It's very comfortable. Good Ningning, just obey me, Ningning." King Jin got his mind on it and wanted to make her agree.
At night, when they went to bed, Jiang Changning couldn't resist him, so King Jin got his wish.
The next day, King Jin, who accepted the beauty's bribe, arranged for people to do things.
Prince De also arranged for someone to handle the matter, and when the two brothers met, they exchanged information.
"I thought it had nothing to do with me, but I didn't want to get involved anyway." Crown Prince Deok said with a bitter smile.
King Jin smiled and said: "Even if we don't want to get involved, some people will drag us into the water."
In the early morning court, after hearing what King Ding said, King Jin expected that neither he nor Prince De would be able to stay out of the matter.
Sure enough, things went as he expected, but he didn't expect that his little princess's old servant would be involved.
Although King Jin and Prince De were paying attention to the case, they did not intervene rashly. They knew that King Ding was secretly watching.
Mrs. Jiao, the crown prince of Changyu Bo, had labor pains for an hour and gave birth to a baby weighing three kilograms and seven taels.
Looking at the thin and red grandson, who was not as strong as her eldest grandson, Mrs. Changyu felt like she had eaten Mrs. Jiao alive.
When Crown Princess Deok went back to her parents' home to visit her sister-in-law and nephew, Mrs. Chang Yuba couldn't help complaining to her daughter, "She didn't even look at how big her daughter's belly was. She came over crying and shouting, and she made you smaller."
My nephew was born prematurely."
"It's good to be able to give birth smoothly." Crown Princess Deok sighed.
Mrs. Chang Yubo also sighed, "That's right. I'm lucky that I didn't kill two people."
The mother and daughter talked a few words about the Jiao family. Mrs. Chang Yubo looked at her daughter's belly and said, "It's been a few years since you got married. Why is there still no movement in your belly?"
"Mother, all girls here are destined to be together. If the child doesn't come, there's nothing I can do about it." It's not like Princess Deok doesn't want to have a baby.
The couple had sex frequently, but she was anxious even if she didn't get pregnant, but she couldn't be anxious about this.
"The talisman water in the Empress Temple outside the city is very effective. I will accompany you to ask for it. If you drink it, you will definitely have a son." Mrs. Chang Yubo said.
The Princess of Prince Deok knew about this magical water, but she never thought of asking for it to drink. When her mother said this, she couldn't help but feel a little moved, "You don't need to accompany me, it's not like I can't find a place."
"You can find the place, but you have to go."
"I'll just go."
The Crown Princess of Deok kept her word, and of course she also made an appointment with Jiang Changning and the Crown Princess of Changshan.
She and Princess Changshan got married in the same year. It has been more than three years, almost four years, and they are still not pregnant.
Jiang Changning has been married to Prince Jin for a year, and there is still no movement in his stomach.
Everyone drank the magic water, got pregnant together, and then got married as a baby. Thinking about it, they all felt very good.
Jiang Changning doesn't believe that you can get pregnant by drinking Lingfu Water, but it's still possible to go to the Empress Temple outside the city.
After informing the concubine, the next day, Jiang Changning took his maid and, under the protection of the guards, to meet Prince De and his wife.
"Why are you thinking of going to the Empress Temple to ask for the talisman water?" Prince Concubine Changshan asked when she saw Prince Concubine De Wang.
"If you want to have a baby, go ahead. What's the matter, aren't you in a hurry?" Princess De Wang glanced at her sideways.
"This matter cannot be rushed." Princess Changshan touched her belly and said, "Can you really get pregnant after drinking the magic talisman water?"
"I heard that you can get pregnant, so there's no harm in giving it a try." Prince Deok's concubine was also in a hurry and sought medical treatment.
"I advise you two not to drink magic water. I don't know whether you can conceive a child, but I know you will definitely have diarrhea." Jiang Changning advised seriously.
"Listen to this, you don't plan to drink the magic water, so why are you going to the Empress Temple with us?" Princess Changshan asked with a smile.
"I'm going to play with you, but the weather today is not very good. We have to go back quickly. It won't snow until it snows, and it won't be good if we are trapped in the temple." Jiang Changning lifted the car curtain and looked at it. Road outside.
"It's true, the sky is overcast, I'm afraid it's going to snow." Princess Changshan came over and looked out, "Suiyan, how about we go another day?"
"If you say you should go, you must go, otherwise the Queen will think we are not sincere." Princess Deok said.
"Okay, okay, go, go, go." Crown Princess Changshan said with a smile.
The Son-Giving Empress and the Son-Giving Guanyin are not the same person. The Son-Giving Lady is also known as the Zhusheng Empress, the Lady of Son-giving, the Son-and-Grand Lady, and the Son-Giving Lady. She is a goddess who controls children and assists in pregnancy.
Guanyin is one of the incarnations of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and it is also used to give children to people.
A simple distinction is that the Lady Sending Lady is Taoist, while the Guanyin is Buddhist.
The Lady Sangzi is a local deity, and Guanyin is a foreign monk.
There are also differences between the two statues. The Lady Sending Lady is a dignified, kind-looking woman with a rosy complexion. She is sitting, holding a big fat doll in her arms, holding a children's book in her left hand, and a pen in her right hand.
Avalokitesvara is dressed in white, holding a fat baby in its arms, standing or sitting on a lotus platform.
The Temple of the Empress Dowager, outside the capital, is not big, covering an area of about two and a half acres, and is guarded by about a dozen Taoist nuns.
Although the weather was not very good, there were still many women who came to the Empress Temple to seek talismans and they lined up in a long queue.
"How long will it take?" Jiang Changning looked around, "You guys stand in line here, I'll walk around."
She came here to play, not to ask for talismans.
"Don't go too far." Prince Consort De warned.
"I know." Jiang Changning responded with a smile.
The Niangniang Temple is very prosperous and has many people coming and going. A small market has been formed next to it, and nearby villagers come here to sell some mountain products.
