Chapter 203 Toys
Chang Youzhong quickly brought the things over, but it was too hasty to conclude that the maid was sent by the Queen Mother based only on a sign from Fushou Palace.
But the Queen Mother was also suspicious, so the King of Jin did not let Qiu Shuang continue the interrogation. Instead, he asked Chang Youzhong to find a way to take the person to the dungeon of the Huaibei Palace and let the people there interrogate him.
There are specialties in skills and strengths in industry, but Qiu Shuo is lacking in judging people.
King Jin did not tell Jiang Changning truthfully about this matter. He only said: "I will take care of everything, so you can raise your baby with peace of mind."
Jiang Changning just listened to him, didn't ask any more about the matter, and raised the baby with peace of mind.
March 3rd, Shangsi Festival.
The concubine felt that Jiang Changning was able to get pregnant successfully because she ate red eggs that day, so she wanted to go to Hongluo Temple to fulfill her wish.
Jiang Changning whispered: "Your Majesty, this is obviously your fault, what does it have to do with eating red eggs?"
King Jin also murmured in a low voice: "It's our fault."
Jiang Changning gave him an irritated look, and King Jin explained seriously: "I'm right, I can't accomplish anything by myself."
"Ouch, shut up now." Jiang Changning said in embarrassment.
"My lord, you set the fire first."
"As I said, I can set fire, but you can't light lamps."
"The people are not convinced."
"If you don't accept it, hold it in."
"I'm just holding it back," King Jin said pointedly.
This person
Jiang Changning turned his head away and ignored him. She was not as thick-skinned as he was, and she couldn't talk to him.
Prince Jin looked at the tips of her red ears and smiled with joy. He teased his shy little princess for nothing. It was so fun!
The couple failed to persuade the concubine, so they asked Yan Yinyao to accompany the concubine to Hongluo Temple.
Jiang Changning stayed in the house and took care of little Zeng Mi.
Yan Yinyao specifically told her daughter, "Don't bump into your cousin, you know?"
"I know, my cousin has a little brother." Zeng Mi said in a sweet voice.
The concubine was overjoyed when she heard this, "Mi'er, your cousin's aunt has a little brother, right?"
It is said that children have clear eyes and clear mouth.
Jiang Changning didn't believe it. Her belly was only three months old. According to medicine, it takes four months for the gender to be known.
What Zeng Mi said was probably taught by Yan Yinyao to please the concubine.
"It's the little brother." Zeng Mi smiled and clapped his hands, "The little brother calls me sister and will play with me."
"Mi'er is right." The concubine hugged Zeng Mi into her arms and smiled so hard that she couldn't even see her teeth.
Jiang Changning stroked her forehead, seeing the concubine like this, she was really worried that the concubine would collapse if she gave birth to a daughter.
After the concubine had teased Zeng Mi for a while, the aunt and nephew went out.
Jiang Changning ordered people to invite Princess Kangren to come. The older children would take care of the younger ones, so she would have nothing to do.
This saves Zeng Mi from running over after a while and asking, "Cousin, is your little brother good?"
"Cousin, when can my little brother call me sister?"
It made her one head and two big, and she couldn't live in peace.
Before Princess Kangren came, Jiang Changning sent in a small toy made by someone else.
There was a big box full of toys. Not only Zeng Mi cheered, but Jiang Changning also liked it.
Zeng Mi took a wooden wheelbarrow and pushed it around.
Jiang Changning was sitting on the kang, playing with the brain-building tower.
Yu Nao Tower is a level-breaking board game with three difficulty levels. Because it is for children, Jiang Changning asked the carpenter to make the simplest one, with two building block bases and five building blocks.
Although it is the simplest, there is not only one possibility of assembling the building blocks. After they are assembled according to the picture drawn, there should be no bulges or spaces.
At this time Princess Kangren came and said, "Greetings to Aunt Wang, may Aunt Wang be blessed."
Jiang Changning said several times that there was no need to be so polite when the family met, but Princess Kangren promised well, but still did not change, so Jiang Changning had no choice but to let her go.
"Kang Ren, get on the kang, let's play a guessing game."
"What guessing game?" Princess Kangren took off her shoes and got on the kang.
After Jiang Changning explained, the aunt and nephew started playing.
The guessing game was divided, and Jiang Changning won, "Is he the one with white hair?"
"No." Princess Kangren shook her head.
Jiang Changning covered the person with white hair on the card, and Princess Kangren asked: "Is it black hair?"
"No." Jiang Changning answered her question, and then asked: "Are you wearing floral clothes?"
"Yes." Princess Kangren nodded.
It was Princess Kangren's turn to ask. She saw that there were only three cards standing in front of Jiang Changning. If she asked another question, Jiang Changning would probably find the card he was looking for.
What question should she ask to turn defeat into victory?
"Is there a pockmark on your face?" Princess Kangren asked.
"No." Jiang Changning replied.
Princess Kangren knew that the bet was lost. On the cards in front of her, there was only one pockmarked person.
"Is he growing a beard?" Jiang Changning asked.
Princess Kangren replied: "Yes."
Jiang Changning smiled, "Let's play another game."
"Okay." Princess Kangren thought this was quite fun.
Looking at Jiang Changning who was playing happily with her niece, Xiulan silently turned to look at the lamp stand in the corner. Is this toy really made for the young prince?
Jiang Changning didn't care what Xiulan thought. She and Princess Kangren took out all kinds of toys and played with them one or more times.
"Mi'er, this doll is for you."
"Thank you, cousin." Zeng Mi hugged the lady doll that was the same size as her and smiled with her big eyes shaped like crescent moons.
The gift given to Princess Kangren was a beast-fighting chess set. Jiang Changning told her how to play, "In order of size, they are elephant, lion, tiger, leopard, wolf, dog, cat and rat. However, rats can eat elephants, but elephants cannot."
To eat the rat, the same chess piece can eat each other.”
Princess Kangren held the beast-fighting chess and returned to the courtyard happily.
When King Jin came back in the evening, Jiang Changning took him and his four maids to play Three Kingdoms.
"How do you play this?" King Jin looked at the cards with exquisite patterns and found them quite interesting.
Jiang Changning explained the gameplay in detail, "The first step is to draw identity cards. There are four types of identity cards: lord, loyal minister, rebel and traitor.
"Killing a general who is a rebel can draw three additional cards. When the Lord accidentally kills a loyal minister, he will lose all the cards in his hand. Let's play. I don't understand it very well. Let's get familiar with it as we play."
Several people drew cards. Jiang Changning drew the traitor, King Jin drew the lord, and the couple were enemies.
Looking at the cards in her hand, Xiulan once again doubted Jiang Changning's intention in making this toy. Was it really made for the young prince to play with?
No matter what Xiulan thinks, Jiang Changning's life will be more enjoyable with these toys.
On March 20th, Chunwei posted the list, and Zhou Du believed that it was no surprise that he was on the list, and he was still seventh.
Zhuang Jike didn't do too badly in the exam this time, ranking 183rd.
Those who win the examination are called "Gongshi", and the first one is called "Huiyuan".
The number of admissions is variable, ranging from more than a hundred to three or four hundred. There were as many as 5,000 people taking the exam this time, and a total of 412 were admitted. Zhuang Jike's ranking is quite good.
After the results of the joint examination are announced, the candidates who are selected for the examination will take part in the palace examination next month.
Note: Xiulan looked suspicious: Is this really made for the young prince to play with?
Jiang Changning said seriously: The little prince’s mother must first become familiar with the game before she can teach him how to play.
