Chapter 173 Donations

After hearing what Prince Jin said, Jiang Changning realized that his whole body ached and his throat felt uncomfortable. It turned out to be the sequelae of high fever.

"You were so troubled last night that you didn't have a good night's sleep?" Jiang Changning saw that there were green shadows under his eyes.

Knowing that he took care of me personally last night and did not rely on others, I felt a little moved in my heart.

"No, he's as burnt as Mrs. Tang, and he's talking nonsense." King Jin said with a joking smile.

Jiang Changning suddenly became nervous, "What did I say?"

You won't tell her biggest secret, Tu Lu Zui, right?

"What can you say? I just want to eat." Prince Jin pinched her small nose.

Jiang Changning breathed a sigh of relief and brushed his hand away, "It's a blessing to be able to eat."

"Drink the medicine for a while, but don't refuse to take it if it's bitter."

"After drinking the medicine, I want to eat candy." Jiang Changning said softly.

"As long as you drink the medicine obediently, you can do whatever you eat."

Facts have proved that this is a lie.

People who are sick should avoid fat and meat and eat light food.

Looking at the millet porridge Xiulan brought in, Jiang Changning took it for granted.

Millet porridge is rich in nutrients, nourishes yin and replenishes blood, and is the most suitable for patients like her.

The King of Jin watched the man drink the medicine, and then said: "I'm going out to do some errands, and I'll be back to have lunch with you later."

"Go and do your work, I'm fine." Jiang Changning's fever has subsided.

"Watch the princess and don't let her come out to play in the snow." King Jin warned several maids.

Jiang Changning was unhappy, "I'm not playing in the snow."

"Yes, you didn't play in the snow, you made a snowman." King Jin said with a smile as he walked out.

Jiang Changning stopped talking. The evidence was piled up in the yard. What could she say? She rolled onto the kang.

The lights in Rujingyuan were turned on for most of the night, and other people in the mansion gradually knew about it.

The concubine sent her maid to inquire about the situation, and Princess Kangren came to visit her aunt in person.

Knowing that Jiang Changning had a high fever last night, Princess Kangren said: "Auntie's body and bones are still too weak. Auntie, why don't you practice Wu Qin Xi with me to strengthen your body?"

"When I get better, I will practice with you." At this time, Jiang Changning had completely forgotten the idea of ​​keeping a distance from Princess Kangren.

Mrs. Pu, Chen Yi, and those beauties all felt that they would be able to see the bright moon until the clouds cleared.

Jiang Changning is sick, so he can't still occupy the prince, right?

Even if she wanted to occupy it, the concubine would not agree.

They really guessed what the concubine was thinking. That evening, when King Jin went to pay her respects to the concubine, the concubine said, "Jiang is sick, so don't live with her, lest she pass it on to you."

.”

King Jin frowned and said: "Rujingyuan is very spacious. Besides, her illness is not serious and it is not passed on to others. There is no need to go back and forth."

"Yu'er, you care too much about Mr. Jiang." The concubine said unsatisfied.

The King of Jin was amused by the concubine's foolish words. Was this advising him to spoil his concubine and destroy his wife?

Not to mention whether the censor would impeach him, he himself was not willing to do so.

Spare your virtuous and pampering wives and dote on those concubines with low moral character.

However, this theory did not make sense to the concubine. The King of Jin chose the concubine and said most seriously: "Mother concubine, she is the son's legitimate wife. The son is still looking forward to her giving birth to a son. Only the legitimate son can inherit the son's title."

.”

Hearing this, the concubine frowned and said, "Let the imperial doctor prescribe medicine for her and let her nurse herself back to health. The bones in her body are too weak."

"It's freezing cold. The wind blew in Prince Ding's Mansion yesterday, so I fell ill." Prince Jin did not dare to say that he took Jiang Changning to the ice playground.

After hearing this, the concubine complained: "If Prince Ding's palace can't hold a banquet, then don't hold it. It will make everyone sick, really."

King Jin echoed a few words, and then said with concern: "The weather is cold. If my mother and concubine are tired from sitting, please walk around in the house and don't go outside. If you are bored, let the maids play cards with you."

"Don't worry about me. There is a constant charcoal fire in this room and it is very warm. However, you have to go to court and go to the Yamen every day. You have to pay attention to the cold and don't freeze." The concubine said.

After the loving mother and son paid filial piety, the King of Jin returned to Rujingyuan.

The group of concubines who were all dressed up did not wait for the arrival of King Jin after all.

Jiang Changning was detained by the King of Jin in the courtyard to recuperate. For three days, she didn't even go out to the courtyard door, let alone the courtyard door. At most, she only opened the window to look at the white snow outside.

Early that morning, I received a greeting card from Crown Princess Deok. She wanted to pay her a visit tomorrow.

Jiang Changning was overjoyed. She was ill and seemed to be isolated from the world. He was eager to hear gossip and relieve his boredom, so he personally replied to her message, "We'll be waiting for you at the mansion tomorrow."

The next day, Crown Princess Deok came over, and she asked immediately: "Do you know how much money was raised at the disaster relief banquet that day?"

Jiang Changning guessed: "At least one million, right?"

"One million, seventy-nine thousand taels."

"There are so many. I can buy a lot of food in Jiangnan."

"A relief department has been set up and Prince Ding is in charge." Prince De's concubine said with a sneer, "This is just like catching a mouse into a rice barn. It's strange that he doesn't keep watch and steals."

"The imperial court will send someone to monitor the censor."

"This is not the first time that King Ding has eaten steamed buns with human blood. The imperial censor is useless." Prince De's concubine cursed angrily, "That year, the Huaihe River flooded and corpses were everywhere. The court took out half a million shi.

Of the food and one million taels of disaster relief funds, before leaving the capital, King Ding embezzled two hundred thousand."

Jiang Changning frowned, "Knowing that he was corrupt, the court didn't punish him?"

"The evidence disappeared overnight, and the matter was settled."

"Prince Ding is quite capable, but this time he won't even think about corruption."

"With the experience last time, I'm afraid there will be more corruption this time."

"The Huaihe River is far away from the capital, so it's easy to manipulate. This snowstorm is right on the border of the capital. He wants to repeat his old plan, but I'm afraid it will be difficult. Besides, your eldest son and my prince will definitely send people to keep an eye on him."

After Jiang Changning's analysis, Princess De was convinced. She talked about the affairs in the palace, "Two talented people in the palace have given birth to their first son."

"Is it a princess or a prince?"

"Su Cairen gave birth in the morning, and she gave birth to a princess, and she was promoted to a concubine. Wu Cai gave birth to a son, and she was promoted to a virtuous concubine. When she is out of confinement, she will be given a canonization ceremony."

"No wonder my prince has been out early and back late these past two days."

"I came here to ask you to go to the palace to congratulate Concubine Wu Xian. Do you think you will be free someday?"

According to the etiquette and law, when a nobleman in the palace is conferred a concubine, the concubine of the first or second rank must enter the palace to congratulate her. On the day of the canonization ceremony, she must also go to watch the ceremony.

"I have to ask my prince about this and see when he will allow me to go out." Jiang Changning said resentfully.

"Prince Jin cares about you. Don't act like a good boy just to get an advantage." Prince De's concubine smiled, "When you find out the exact date, write me a message so that we can enter the palace together."

"Okay, what are you preparing for the congratulatory gift? You have to tell me so that I don't have to look through the account book again."
