Chapter 246 First Year of Junior High School

Chen Yi returned to the palace and went to the Rujing Courtyard to meet Jiang Changning. She sat in the warm pavilion and stared at the incense burner in a daze.

It was easy for her to enter and exit Rujingyuan on the pretext of paying respects. She could also put aphrodisiacs into the incense burner without anyone noticing.

But how can she ensure that she can be in the same room with Prince Jin when using aphrodisiacs?

Jiang Changning's strict defense prevented Chen Yi from contacting Prince Jin alone, which made her very distressed.

But Chen Yi's eyes became firm. She had managed to get such a rare medicine. She would definitely be the real woman of King Jin and give birth to his heirs.

Chen Yi walked to the incense burner, bent over and smelled it, her face full of intoxication.

When Jiang Changning came in, this was what he saw, "Mrs. Chen."

"I send my regards to the princess." Chen Yi calmed down her expression and saluted respectfully.

Jiang Changning raised his hand, indicating that she didn't need to be polite, and asked casually: "Is your aunt's health okay?"

"My aunt is just a little sick, and her illness worsened only because she missed me. When I saw my death, I felt relieved that the illness was not serious." Chen Yi had already thought of her words and was able to deal with it easily.

"It's a blessing to have your mother in mind." Jiang Changning said calmly.

Chen Yi did not dare to answer and remained silent.

"Go back to your room and rest." Jiang Changning was not in the mood to chat with her.

"I take my leave." Chen Yi bowed, bowed, and exited the Nuan Pavilion.

Jiang Changning watched her leave and called Xiulan in, "Clear the incense burner and wash it clean. Then Mrs. Chen will come over and there will be two people standing in this room."

She never dared to underestimate these concubines, and precautions were inevitable. Even if the worry was unfounded, it was better than being plotted without knowing it.

Xiulan's heart trembled, "This slave is careless."

"It's okay, just pay attention in the future." Jiang Changning did not blame her too much.

With the addition of a child, there are many things to do, and there are not enough people in the yard.

Jiang Changning said to King Jin: "Xiao Ming needs to recruit a few people around him. I want to choose from the Jiang family's old servants. Do you think it's okay?"

Prince Jin looked at her, "What do you think?"

"I said? I said yes."

"That's fine."

Jiang Changning pouted, "Is the prince trying to deal with me?"

"It's not perfunctory, the prince just listens to the princess."

"Your Majesty is getting better and better at coaxing people."

"Can you make the princess smile?"

Jiang Changning pursed his lips and smiled, saying: "Not only can I make this princess smile, but I can also get a sweet kiss from me."

As he said that, he leaned forward and kissed the corner of his mouth.

She wanted to pull away after the kiss, but Prince Jin hugged her waist and said, "Princess Jin, running away after flirting is too much."

King Jin finally caught the opportunity, pinned the man down on the kang, and started eating.

But before the main course was served, the disruptor came, "Wow wow wow" Xiao Ming cried.

"My son is awake, please let me go." Jiang Changning woke up from his confusion in an instant.

Jiang Changning held his son and breastfed him, and King Jin said angrily: "You bastard who cheated on me."

Xiao Ming seemed to know that he offended his father, so he behaved very well that night, and his father finally ate enough. The next day after eating, his mother's waist was sore and swollen, and she couldn't get up.

Fortunately, it is already the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, and everything that needs to be prepared is ready, and we are just waiting for the New Year’s Eve dinner.

It had been less than a hundred days since the death of the late emperor, so the palace banquet on New Year's Eve would definitely not be held, but the congratulations on the first day of the new year were not cancelled.

At the first quarter of the first lunar month, Jiang Changning was woken up after only sleeping for an hour.

Sitting in front of the dressing table in confusion, Ren Fangju helped her dress up.

Going to the palace to pay tribute during the emperor's funeral was a little different from usual. Jiang Changning's princess uniform was sapphire blue, and her phoenix crown was also plain.

There are six silver phoenixes holding pearls on the crown. The phoenixes hold a string of six pearl tassels in their mouths. Surrounding the silver phoenixes are clusters of silver flowers with citrine stamens.

Among the flowers, there are exquisite butterflies and birds with lifelike shapes.

Luxurious and beautiful is the advantage of this silver phoenix crown, but it is also the biggest disadvantage of this silver phoenix crown.

As soon as he put it on, Jiang Changning held his neck and said, "Oh, my God, it's really killing me."

Before going out, Jiang Changning also visited her son who was sleeping soundly, told the maid to take good care of him, and then followed King Jin out.

As soon as the curtain was opened, the cold wind mixed with snowflakes hit his face, and Jiang Changning shivered from the cold.

King Jin took the cloak and put it on for her personally, "Where's the hand warmer?"

Xiulan immediately offered a hand warmer. Prince Jin took it and put it in Jiang Changning's hand, "Hold it."

It was snowing outside, and it had been falling for a long time, and a thick layer had accumulated on the ground.

The couple went to the Liuxuan Courtyard to pick up the concubine, and then went out to the palace.

The carriage moved forward slowly and steadily, the wheels making a creaking sound as they pressed against the snow.

Half a mile away from the palace gate, the carriage stopped, but it turned out that Prince Qing's Mansion had arrived early in the morning and for some unknown reason blocked the road.

The concubine sneered, "Prince Qing is really carried away."

"A villain will run rampant when he succeeds." Jiang Changning agreed.

Because the Empress Dowager was unwilling to move out of Fushou Palace, the Empress Dowager took a group of the late emperor's concubines to live in Kangning Palace.

In the side hall, there was no one except people from Prince Qing's Palace. When they saw the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law from Prince Jin's Palace coming in, they greeted them politely.

Princess Qing still smiled and said: "Princess Jin, congratulations, you have won a man in one fell swoop."

"Thank you." Jiang Changning smiled lightly.

"There are a lot of things going on these days. Don't be surprised if you can't go to the house to see your children."

"It doesn't matter." Jiang Changning wished she wouldn't come.

After chatting for a while, people came in one after another. This time, officials of third rank and above and imperial orders were eligible to enter the palace, and there were more people in the side hall.

No one exchanged much greetings, just smiled and nodded to each other, and then waited silently for the Queen Mother's summons.

The first person the Queen Mother summoned was the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of Prince Jin's Mansion. Under the envious eyes of everyone, Princess Jin took Jiang Changning to the main hall.

In the main hall, the Queen Mother and the little emperor were sitting on the throne. It seemed that mother and son were getting along quite well.

"Congratulations to Aunt Wang on the birth of her grandson." The Queen Mother said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Princess Jin smiled so hard that her eyes were filled with fine lines. She had been looking forward to her grandson for so long, and finally she got her wish.

"I wonder if the young prince looks like Prince Jin or Princess Jin?" the Queen Mother asked with a smile.

"Like Brother Yu."

After chatting for a while on the topic of Xiao Ming, the Queen Mother ordered the maid to bring a tray. On the tray were a set of gilt longevity locks, gilt bracelets, and anklets, "a gift for the young prince."

"Thank you, empress." The concubine and Jiang Changning stood up and said.

Taking the gifts from the Queen Mother, the Dowager Princess and Jiang Changning went out, and then the Queen Mother summoned Prince De's Mansion. This made the female relatives of Prince Qing's Mansion quite displeased, and their expressions were extremely ugly.

Prince De's palace also had a little princess. The Queen Mother did not favor one over the other, and also gave the little princess a six-piece gilt set.

Of course, the pattern is different. The one for the Jin Palace has Yinan grass pattern on it.

The one given to Prince De's Mansion has the mother-of-pearl pattern on it.
