Chapter 281 Getting married

The days passed quietly as the king of Jin, King De, and King Yu and King Qing fought openly and secretly.

In the early morning of July 28, Princess Deok's wife was fully pregnant, and labor pains began. It was not until the evening that she gave birth to a little boy weighing five pounds and seventy taels.

Princess De was overjoyed to finally hold her grandson, "We have to do big things for the third day of the month, the full moon, the hundredth day, and the first birthday."

"No, it's too arrogant." King De disagreed.

King Qing and King Yu were like dogs staring at bones, staring at him and King Jin closely, waiting to catch them and bite them to death.

"Mother, Concubine, Kang'er is still young. It's not suitable to come into contact with too many people, as he may easily get sick." Crown Prince De also didn't want to make a big deal, "It's better to wait until Kang'er is three years old and have a hundred-table banquet."

Princess De thought of her eldest daughter and second son who died of illness at an early age, so she no longer insisted on having a big banquet, "Then let's wait until Kang'er is three years old and have a hundred tables of banquets."

Although wine was not served at Prince De's residence, people close to him still gave him gifts.

On the third day of the wash, Jiang Changning, an aunt from the same clan and clan, was invited to add pots.

When they arrived at Prince De's Mansion, they went to the confinement room with Prince Changshan and the others to see the mother and the baby.

Princess Deok's face was pale. She had a heavy bleeding that day, which really frightened people. In just three days, her complexion had not recovered yet.

"This kid looks just like my mother." Wen Bingqing picked up the baby and said.

Jiang Changning came over and took a look. Forgive her eyesight, this little guy who was just three days old was still a little wrinkled and the red color hadn't faded completely. He couldn't tell who he looked like.

Of course, this did not prevent her from praising the little guy, "He is a handsome young man. When he grows up, he will charm many little girls."

"It's a pity that none of our families have a suitable girl, otherwise we would have to marry a baby," Zeng Zhaofu said.

"Hurry up and get pregnant with one. It will be just right in ten months." Princess Changshan said with a wicked smile.

"That's right, that's right." Others also echoed.

Prince Deok's concubine also laughed and said, "My mother-in-law, please hurry up and get pregnant."

Zeng Zhaofu waved his hand, "No, everyone knows that a son is like his mother, and a daughter is like his father. The tall and thick boy in my family is not as beautiful as he is when he gives birth to a girl. She is not worthy of such a handsome boy."

She rolled her eyes and said, "Ning Ning will give birth to a good child. She is beautiful and the King of Jin is also handsome. The baby she will give birth to will conquer the country and the city."

Before Jiang Changning could say anything, Wen Bingqing spat at her, "What are you talking about? People with the same surname will not marry, not to mention that the two families not only have the same surname, but also the same clan."

Zeng Zhaofu slapped his forehead and said, "I'm confused."

"But Ningning, our two families can get married." Wen Bingqing put the baby back in the cradle and took Jiang Changning's arm.

"Ning Ning, you can choose between my three sons." Zeng Zhaofu hugged her other arm.

Jiang Changning's lips twitched slightly. Her daughter was already being taken care of even though she didn't know where she was. "I'm not even pregnant yet. Why are we getting married? Suiyan has a daughter. You're trying to please the wrong person."

"You're right, it's all your fault for the good fortune." Wen Bingqing let go of Jiang Changning and hugged Princess De Wang's arm.

"What did I do and you blame me?" Zeng Zhaofu looked confused.

No one could answer her questions. Wen Bingqing was expressing her loyalty to Prince De's concubine, "I will definitely love my daughter-in-law as much as a daughter."

"Bao'er is still young. When she gets older, if the children can see each other, we will become in-laws." Crown Princess Deok is also willing to marry her daughter to a family with whom she is acquainted.

"That's how we agreed." Wen Bingqing said seriously.

"Would you like to give you a high-five?" Crown Princess Deok asked with a smile.

"Okay." Wen Bingqing raised her right hand, "You guys can bear witness."

"If you want us to be witnesses, then you have to treat us to a meal." Princess Changshan said with a smile.

"No problem. When Suiyan is out of confinement, how about I invite you to eat Huaiyang cuisine at the newly opened Liuquanju restaurant?"

"Keep your word."

Wen Bingqing raised her eyebrows and said, "I keep my word."

At this time, Princess De came in to hold her grandson. Except for Princess De, the crown prince, who was still in confinement, everyone else followed Princess De to the main hall as soon as they entered the hospital.

There is an incense table in the hall, enshrining the statues of thirteen gods including Bixia Yuanjun, Qiongxiao Empress, Yunxiao Empress, Birth Empress, Child Delivery Empress, Bean Empress and Eyes Empress.

The grandma who delivered the baby bowed to Princess De, then carefully took the baby from Princess De's hands, tapped the golden basin with a mallet, and the third bath officially began.

Everyone who came to watch the ceremony added a small spoonful of water into the basin according to their seniority and age, and then put some gold, silver and other things into the basin, which is called adding basins.

Jiang Changning added a palm-long gilded silver Ruyi, Princess Changshan added a jade ring, and Wen Bingqing added a silver-inlaid jasper finger ring.

Grandma Jixiang, who gave birth to the baby, couldn't stop talking and smiled until the corners of her eyes were filled with wrinkles.

According to the rules, these things that are added to the pot belong to her.

After the third bath, Princess De said a few polite words and invited everyone to move to the banquet hall for dinner.

After eating and washing up, Princess Changshan shared another piece of gossip: "Song Yirou is getting married for the second time."

Jiang Changning was surprised, "I thought she was going to hang herself on my prince's tree with a crooked neck. Why is she getting married for the second time? Who will she marry? Is she willing to marry?"

Wen Bingqing chuckled and said, "Prince Jin is not a tree with a crooked neck."

Princess Changshan made signs on her belly and raised her eyebrows, "You understand, right? She has to get married even if she doesn't want to."

"She is obsessed with Prince Jin while fooling around with other men. She is really shameless." Zeng Zhaofu scolded him with disdain.

"Pregnant out of wedlock, the Song family's tutoring is really a mess." Wen Bingqing said with disgust.

Zeng Zhaofu sneered and said, "Does the Song family have a tutor?"

Jiang Changning clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, my prince finally escaped."

Song Yirou got married for the second time, and the King of Jin had one less trouble, but Zhou Duxin was in trouble.

After a period of treatment, Zheng Mingzhu's condition improved. Of course, it was impossible to recover as before. She forgot many things, but she only remembered Zhou Duxin.

Zhou Duxin was almost driven crazy by her, and when Jiang Changning went to Prince De's Mansion to attend the Third Ceremony Banquet, he asked to see Prince Jin.

"Your Majesty, can I release this official?"

If he can't afford to provoke him, he can hide away. The Zheng family will never send people to the place where he left them, right?

"Are you sure?" King Jin asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, I am very sure."

"What if I don't agree to your request?"

"I will obey the prince's instructions."

"You don't complain?"

"Don't complain."

The King of Jin smiled slightly and said, "The rogue bandits are rampant along the coast of Fujian, either robbing homes or going out to sea to hijack merchant ships. If you just sit back and ignore them, if things go on for a long time, there will be endless troubles. Do you dare to suppress the bandits?"

"I will go all out."

"Tomorrow the Ministry of Civil Affairs will issue your letter of appointment."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhou Duxin saluted and said, "I will excuse myself."
