Chapter 164: Relegated Concubine

Jiang Changning's worries came true. It snowed continuously for several days, and a miscellaneous room in the palace could not hold up and collapsed.

Fortunately, no servants went in to get anything at that time and no one was injured.

But even the miscellaneous rooms in the palace were collapsed by the snow, and the simple wooden houses outside the city collapsed one after another.

The medical clinics in the city are full of patients suffering from frostbite, cold, and bruises.

Jimin Bureau, nursing homes and other places were crowded with homeless victims.

Just when Jiang Changning was thinking about whether he should give porridge and cotton-padded clothes to help the victims, he received an invitation from Prince Ding's Mansion.

"Disaster relief banquet." Jiang Changning's eyebrows moved slightly.

If it were really a disaster relief banquet, Jiang Changning would be happy to raise some money, but he was afraid that Princess Ding was just trying to gain fame.

Jiang Changning signed the invitation and said, "Xiulan, please reply to the post and say that I will be there on time."

It would be impossible for her not to praise Princess Ding. She just hopes that Princess Ding will not lose her conscience too much.

She will go to the disaster relief banquet, but the disaster relief does not have to wait until after the banquet.

"Ask Uncle Wu to set up two pots outside each store, one to cook porridge and one to cook cold medicine." Jiang Changning ordered Shu Fei.

After discussing with the concubine again, porridge and medicine stalls were set up at the east and west gates to distribute to the victims.

In addition to Jinwangfu, Dewangfu, Changshanwangfu and other palaces, porridge stalls and medicine stalls were set up.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and it will snow in the next few days.

On the day of the disaster relief banquet, Jiang Changning got up early and found that King Jin had not gone to the morning court. He was sitting in the Nuan Pavilion, looking through the script book she had read, "Is there a day off today?"

"The weather is too cold, so Your Majesty skipped the morning court. Besides, I also received an invitation to go with you. Are you happy?" King Jin asked with a smile.

The male guests and the female family members went out for a banquet, but they couldn't be in the same room. They could just go together on the way to Prince Ding's mansion.

However, Jiang Changning still said with a crooked smile, "I'm happy."

"If someone with no eyesight collides with you, just feel free to do it. I will take care of everything." King Jin ordered.

"I will never lose the prestige of Prince Jin's Mansion." Jiang Changning replied seriously.

Prince Jin pinched her small nose and said, "I want you not to wrong yourself."

"I have the prince as my backer, who dares to wrong me?" Jiang Changning hugged his arm with a bright smile on his face.

While the couple was chatting and laughing, the maid reported outside: "Princess, the two ladies and Aunt Liu are here to pay their respects to you."

"What kind of greetings can you ask for on a cold day?" King Jin frowned.

Jiang Changning's eyes flashed, "The prince is feeling distressed, why do you blame me for not being able to spare their greetings?"

"You little heartless boy, I feel sorry for you getting up early." Prince Jin had already told the concubine that he would not ask Jiang Changning to pay her respects.

He still remembered what Jiang Changning said: Sleeping in is the greatest respect for a warm bed in winter.

Although he didn't quite understand this sentence, he remembered that his little princess liked to sleep in.

"I spared them the greetings. They didn't come yesterday, but they came today. I think they knew you were here and went to greet you specially." Jiang Changning explained.

King Jin's face darkened, and a stern look flashed in his eyes.

These three concubines actually dared to peek into the main courtyard of the mistress, damn it!

"Your Majesty, go out to meet them, I won't go." Jiang Changning sat on the kang and grabbed the soft pillow, "Your Majesty, go and come back quickly. I'll wait for you to have breakfast."

"Are you so sincere that you are not afraid that I will never come back?"

Jiang Changning raised his eyebrows, "My legs are on the prince's body. If the prince wants to leave, I can stop him once, but I can't stop him countless times. What's more, they are also the prince's legitimate concubines. It is natural that they want to see the prince. How can I stop them?"

"This little mouth is becoming more and more sharp." Prince Jin reached out to pinch her face.

Jiang Changning stretched out his hand to stop him, "Your Majesty, send the people away immediately. After breakfast, we have to go out, so don't waste time."

"The princess asked me to do something, should I pay some errand fees?" King Jin turned over his hand with his palm facing up, "The sky is clear, and the court is not short of hungry soldiers. Come on, Lord Official."

Jiang Changning held back his laughter, "The state official has no money."

"I don't want money, but the state official can pay with your own flesh. I don't mind."

"If you mind, Mr. Prefect, go ahead." Jiang Changning threw the cushion to him.

"Xiao Wang takes orders and goes to do things now." King Jin smiled and walked out the door.

As soon as he entered Nuan Pavilion, the smile on King Jin's face disappeared. He went in with a cold face. When the three people in the room saw him coming in, their faces were full of joy, "Your Majesty."

They asked their confidants to keep an eye on the movements in Rujingyuan. When they saw Chang Youzhong, who was supposed to go to the Yamen with King Jin, in Rujingyuan, they guessed that King Jin had not gone to the morning court.

By chance, the three of them came to pay their respects to the princess. They met on the road, and they understood each other tacitly, so they entered the Mirror Courtyard together.

As for whether they could see the prince after coming, they were not sure. After all, the princess was really a domineering and jealous woman.

But unexpectedly, the princess did not come out, and the prince came to see them alone.

King Jin got straight to the point and asked, "It's such a cold day. Why did the princess come here even if you don't have to pay her respects?"

"Reply to the prince, the princess rewarded me with some good materials, and I made new clothes. I just put on my clothes today, so I came here specially to show the princess." Chen Yi saw that King Jin's expression was wrong, and immediately

Give a reasonable excuse.

King Jin stared at Chen Yi and did not point out that there was anything wrong with her excuse. Instead, he looked at the other two people and asked, "Why did you come here?"

"I'm telling you, my aunt is sick, and I want to go back and see my aunt." Pu's reason is better than Chen Yi's.

Mrs. Liu has always been short of quick wits, "Replying to the prince, I... I am... the princess is too good to me. If I don't come to say hello for a day, I feel uneasy. Yes,

I feel uneasy."

"Are you uneasy?" King Jin sneered, "You dare to peek into the mistress's main courtyard, what else do you dare not do?"

"I don't have a concubine." Mrs. Liu defended subconsciously.

"The princess is kind-hearted and has treated you leniently. Not only are you ungrateful, but you also harbor malicious intentions. What do you want to do when you peek into the mistress's main courtyard?" King Jin asked sharply.

The three concubines were so frightened that they knelt down. Pu and Chen Yi insisted on their reasons. They could not afford the crime of peeking into the mistress's main courtyard.

Without any reason, Mrs. Liu became the one who stood out, and was used by the King of Jin to kill chickens and scare monkeys.

"Chang Youzhong." King Jin called, and Chang Youzhong walked in.

"Let her move to Tongyouyuan, that place is quiet." King Jin ordered.

The name Tongyouyuan sounds good, but it is the most remote courtyard in the palace. It has some debris and has not been inhabited for a long time.

"Your Majesty, I know I have made a mistake, please spare me." As soon as Mrs. Liu said these words, Mrs. Pu and Chen Yi knew that she was completely finished.

"Take it away." King Jin was ruthless.

Mrs. Liu only brought one maid, and after collecting a few clothes, she was imprisoned in Tongyouyuan.

As for Pu and Chen Yi, the King of Jin said a few words, "Keep yourself safe and take care of yourself. If you think the Jin Palace is not good, I will give you a different place to live."
