Chapter 239 Going Home

By the time King Jin finished his business and left the palace to return home, it was already two days later.

After returning home, although he was eager to see his little princess, he still went to Liuxuan Courtyard to comfort his frightened mother and concubine.

When the concubine saw him, she asked anxiously: "Where are you injured?"

"It was just an arrow in the shoulder, nothing serious." King Jin knew that if he said he was not injured, the concubine would be suspicious, and he did not want to explain his secret return to the capital.

"Let me see." The concubine pulled at her son's clothes.

"Concubine, I just changed the medicine and wrapped it with gauze, so you can't see it." Prince Jin did have an arrow wound on his shoulder, but it was almost healed. He took two steps back and avoided the concubine's hand.

Hearing what he said, the concubine no longer insisted on looking at his injuries, "Isn't it time to go to the palace to mourn tomorrow?"

According to the rules, the day after the death of the emperor, all the palaces should go to the palace to mourn, but who made the late emperor die too quickly? Even if there was a precedent to follow, it took these two days.

"Well, it's time to go to the palace and cry." King Jin said.

"Your wife is about to give birth. You and I are going to the palace, and there is no one to take care of things in this house." The concubine disliked the fact that the emperor died at the wrong time.

"I will discuss with the princess to see if we can ask my cousin to help take care of things for a few days." King Jin had thought about all aspects before he decided to kill the emperor.

"I'm just afraid that Yao'er can't handle it well." The concubine said hesitantly.

King Jin smiled, "My cousin was trained by my mother and concubine. She will be responsible for the affairs of the house for a few days. There will be no problem."

The concubine smiled with satisfaction and said: "Okay, let her take care of it for a few days."

"The princess and I will come back later to have dinner with my mother and concubine," King Jin said.

"Okay." The concubine smiled.

"Son, I retire." King Jin bowed, left Liuxuan Courtyard, and returned to Rujing Courtyard.

In Rujing Courtyard, Jiang Changning, dressed in plain clothes, was lying on a chair in the corridor, listening to Fang Ju reciting poems.

The maids saluted King Jin one after another, and the movement woke up the stunned Jiang Changning.

Jiang Changning opened his eyes and saw Prince Jin striding over. He stood up with a smile and said, "The prince has finally come back from his work to see his wife and children."

"Are you angry?" Prince Jin held her hand.

"No, I know the prince is busy with business, I was joking." Jiang Changning said with a smile.

"Did he bother you?" Prince Jin lowered his eyes and looked at her belly.

Jiang Changning smiled, "He is so good."

King Jin helped her into the room, sat down on the kang, and said: "Ning'er, my mother and I are going to the palace to mourn, so we can't stay with you at home. You're pregnant. I'm really worried. I want to

Please ask my cousin to help take care of things in the house so that you don’t have to worry about it."

"The prince and I really have a spiritual connection." Jiang Changning also thought of asking Yan Yinyao to help the housekeeper.

"It's necessary, we are husband and wife." Prince Jin put his arm around her shoulders, leaned over and kissed her lips.

Jiang Changning put his arms around his neck and responded enthusiastically.

They had been separated for several months. No matter what, she missed him very much, especially because of the late emperor's conspiracy. It was very valuable that he could come back safely.

Prince Jin put his arms around her waist and wanted to hug her tightly, but a big belly pressed against him, stopping his movements.

Prince Jin let go of Jiang Changning and stared at her big belly, "Bad boy, you will really ruin your father's good deeds."

"Don't say that, the child will be angry." Jiang Changning said angrily.

"If you dare to be angry with me, I'll spank you when you come out." Prince Jin said, touching her belly.

The baby seemed to understand and kicked me hard.

"Ouch." Jiang Changning gasped in pain.

"Good baby, be good and don't bully your mother." Prince Jin gently stroked her belly and coaxed softly.

At this time, Xiulan came in and said, "Your Majesty, Princess, the hot water is ready."

Jiang Changning pushed King Jin and said, "Your Majesty, go take a bath to relieve your fatigue."

"We will have dinner with my mother and concubine later."

Jiang Changning responded with a smile, "Okay."

When King Jin came out from the bath, he took a handkerchief and wiped his hair dry, "Ning'er, help me tie my hair."

"I'm not very good at it. Let's give it a try. If you don't pull it well, the prince won't be dissatisfied." Jiang Changning leaned on the pillow and smiled.

"I don't mind it, no matter how you comb it, I won't mind it." Prince Jin sat down next to Jiang Changning.

Such a tall person, sitting on a small stool, with his long legs shrunk, looks a bit funny.

Jiang Changning smiled, picked up the silver comb, and combed King Jin's hair, "Some people say that people with soft hair are not hard-hearted."

Fortunately, he has long hair. If he had short hair, it would be very prickly.

Jiang Changning combed his hair on the top of his head, tied it up, and put a jade crown on his head, "What a handsome husband."

"You can tell that I am a handsome man just by looking at the back of my head? The princess has really good eyesight." King Jin said with a smile.

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and my prince's hair is more handsome than other people's." Jiang Changning said with a smile.

"I like to hear the princess tell the truth." King Jin said seriously.

The couple joked for a while and then went out to Liuxuan Courtyard.

Yan Yinyao's mother and daughter and Princess Kangren had arrived first and were chatting and joking with the concubine.

"My cousin is back safely, and my aunt and cousin will feel at ease." Yan Yinyao said with a smile.

King Jin said politely: "These days, my cousin will be with my mother and the princess."

"Cousin, don't say that. It's a blessing for me to be with my aunt and cousin." Yan Yinyao was happier living in the palace than at the Zeng family.

She was widowed and returned to her family. She should have returned to the Yan family, but the Yan family was a stepmother and did not want to accept her. If the concubine had not protected her, she and her daughter would not have known how to live.

What's even more rare is that Jiang Changning treats her very well and allows her to live here without any discomfort.

It was also because of this that when the concubine tried to ask her if she wanted to remarry not long ago, she firmly refused.

"Cousin, I have something to trouble you with," King Jin said bluntly.

Yan Yinyao said with a serious expression: "Cousin, please tell me."

"The emperor has passed away. My mother-in-law and I are going to the palace to mourn. Your cousin-in-law is about to give birth. I would like to trouble my cousin to help with the affairs in the palace."

Yan Yinyao hesitated, Jiang Changning handed the tea cup in front of her, and she subconsciously took it.

Jiang Changning smiled, "She agreed."

King Jin was stunned and couldn't help but laugh.

"Cousin, there is such a thing." Yan Yinyao said coquettishly.

"How dare you help me share my worries?" Jiang Changning asked with a pout.

Yan Yinyao smiled, "I am happy with it, how dare I not be happy with it."

It was settled that she would help the housekeeper.

Early the next morning, King Jin accompanied the concubine into the palace to cry. He left early and returned late, working hard.

On the afternoon of October 19, Jiang Changning woke up from a nap and felt a sinking feeling in his abdomen, "Is she about to give birth?"

Jiang Changning took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, "Mother Feng, labor pains have begun. I'm about to give birth."

Aunt Feng supported her and said, "Princess, don't worry, the first baby will not come so soon. I will help you to the delivery room."

The delivery room was decorated a month ago. It was cleaned every day and smoked with mugwort for half a day. The room was very clean and tidy.
