Chapter 64 Shameless
Before anyone else could answer her questions, the young woman in a rose-red coat came over with two girls and said with a smile on her face: "This must be Princess Jin."
"I am." Jiang Changning glanced at the maid next to him.
It was her first time socializing with these clan women, and she was unfamiliar with them and didn't know them.
Ms. Qiao didn't come, but even if she came, she probably wouldn't mention Jiang Changning.
The concubine asked Crown Princess De to take care of Jiang Changning, and also asked a maid next to her to follow Jiang Changning. She was expected to help in places where Crown Princess De would not be able to attend to.
But Jiang Changning glanced at her, and she remained indifferent. Instead, Prince De's concubine whispered: "She is the second mistress of the Baling Palace, Mrs. Jiang."
"Hello, Princess Jin, sister-in-law, I'm from Prince Baling's Mansion." Mrs. Jiang said with a smile.
"Hello." Jiang Changning smiled.
"Sister-in-law, Princess Jin, these are my two younger sisters, Jiang Xunying and Jiang Jiayao." Ms. Jiang smiled, "Don't be stupid, call someone quickly."
"Hello, Sister Jiang." The two Jiang girls saluted.
This title?
Jiang Changning understood what the three Crown Princesses said in an instant and said with a smile: "That's not the right title. I'm not as old as you. Besides, we're not familiar with each other. Please call me Princess Jin."
After saying this, Jiang Changning stood up and walked away, as if avoiding dirt.
"Sister-in-law, Princess Jin..." Jiang wanted to chase after her, but was stopped by the Princess of Baling who came over.
"Isn't that embarrassing enough?" Prince Baling's concubine glared at her angrily.
Princess Jin just got married and she rushed to give her away. She was really not afraid of offending anyone.
"What's shameful? A wife should take concubines for her husband and spread her wings." Jiang said plausibly.
Princess Baling was frail and sick and could no longer go out to socialize. The Crown Princess Baling was just a sister-in-law and could not control her younger sister-in-law. In one mistake, this person got in front of Princess Jin.
Hearing what she said, Prince Baling said angrily: "Leave it all to the second master. The second master doesn't have a son yet."
With Crown Princess Baling in the way, Jiang had no chance to confront Jiang Changning again.
When all the distinguished guests arrived, Mrs. Xu came over to invite everyone to sit down.
Princess Qing's birthday banquet was of a much higher standard than Mrs. Zhuang's, and even the emperor gave her three tables of banquets.
The dishes at the banquet were very rich and tasted quite good.
On the stage, "Ma Gu's Birthday" was sung lively.
After the five flavors of food and wine have passed, the juniors of Prince Qing's Mansion began to present birthday gifts.
The crown prince and his concubine presented a jade sculpture of pine and crane to prolong life, the second master and second wife presented a gold-plated double-sided embroidered kang screen, and the third master and third wife presented a pair of vases depicting five blessings. The two princesses presented
There are also gifts given.
After the grandchildren presented their birthday gifts, the prince politely thanked all the guests and then led the men away.
After the banquet, the remaining seats were removed, tea and snacks were served again, and "Three Stars Congratulations" began to be sung on the stage.
Although Jiang Changning did not drink alcohol, he drank too much tea and felt anxious. He got up and left the table to go to the bathroom.
Before she had taken a few steps, she bumped into Mrs. Xu, and the teacup in Xu's hand fell on her.
"Oh, Aunt Wang, I'm so rude." Mrs. Xu said in panic.
"You kid, why are you so careless? Why don't you take your Aunt Wang in and change her clothes quickly?" Prince Qing's concubine said angrily.
The corners of Jiang Changning's lips raised, and his smile did not reach his eyes. His eyes were cold. In just a short moment, she saw three flaws.
First, at a banquet, the young lady of the palace will not walk around with a cup of tea.
Second, Mrs. Xu’s movements were not smooth. The tea cup was not knocked over by mistake, but she was spilling the tea.
The third is the look of pity shown in Xu's eyes.
At a banquet, if someone deliberately wets someone's clothes and asks them to change, there must be a conspiracy involved.
She was a guest for the first time and she didn't offend anyone. Why did Mrs. Xu do this?
Jiang Changning was very curious and followed Xu out without rejecting her.
After walking for a while, Jiang Changning stopped and asked, "Where are you taking me?"
"I'll take you to change clothes." Mrs. Xu smiled.
"Is the dressing room for guests arranged so far away? The hospitality of Prince Qing's Mansion really amazes me." Jiang Changning sneered.
Mrs. Xu's expression froze, and she smiled awkwardly and said: "Aunt Wang, it's cold, so I have to change out of these clothes quickly. Please come with me."
"Xiao Chun." Jiang Changning called.
"My servant is here." Xiao Chun took a few steps forward.
"Young lady, let's go over there and talk." Jiang Changning pointed to the corner and said.
"Aunt Wang..." Before Xu could say anything, Xiao Chun covered her mouth and dragged her over.
Jiang Changning pursed his lips and smiled, then casually broke a branch on the roadside.
Mrs. Xu had already evacuated all the servants along the way, so that it would be more convenient for her.
When they reached the corner, Jiang Changning asked directly: "Tell me, what do you want to do?"
"Take Aunt Wang to change clothes..."
Jiang Changning stuffed the branch into Mrs. Xu's mouth, "I like to deal with smart people. If you keep talking nonsense, I will mute you so that you never have to speak. By then, I don't know if the eldest grandson of Prince Qing's palace will
Divorce your wife?”
Xu looked at Jiang Changning in horror, "Ahhh!"
Jiang Changning took out the branch and said, "Tell me."
"Yes..." Mrs. Xu gritted her teeth, "It's the Emperor. The Emperor wants to see you."
According to the ritual, the emperor would not summon a foreign woman, especially alone, in this way.
What the emperor wants to do is self-evident.
Jiang Changning's face darkened, "Shameless."
Swinging the branch, he said, "There's no need to change my clothes. I'm going back to the theater."
After saying this, Jiang Changning took Xiao Chun back.
"This... what should we do?" Mrs. Xu collapsed on the ground in despair. The emperor could not explain it, and the Jin Palace was offended again.
Jiang Changning entered the hall without changing his clothes, which surprised Prince Qing's concubine.
And this little time was not enough for Jiang Changning to go to that remote courtyard to meet the emperor.
How does Mr. Xu do things?
Princess Qing could not ask Jiang Changning, and she could not leave the guests to find Xu. She had to suppress her uneasiness and accompany Princess Qing and others to watch the show.
The emperor, who was in a remote courtyard, became impatient after waiting for Jiang Changning for a long time, "How do the people in Prince Qing's Mansion do things?"
"Your Majesty, this place is a bit far from the main banquet hall, and women walk more slowly." The chamberlain explained speculatively.
The emperor thought about it, it made sense, sat back on the couch and continued to wait.
A quarter of an hour passed and no one came yet.
The emperor's face was as heavy as water, "Bastard, bastard."
The chamberlain lowered his head, not knowing how to appease his angry master.
Another quarter of an hour passed, and Prince Qing's eldest grandson came, "Your Majesty."
"Where are the people?" the emperor asked.
"Prince Jin's wife has always kept people by her side and couldn't find any opportunities." The eldest son lied.
"Trash." The emperor was extremely angry, but had no choice but to return to the palace first.
As soon as he entered the Qinzheng Palace, the Queen Mother came and asked, "Where did the Emperor go when he left the palace?"
"I just went to the street to pay a private visit incognito." The emperor had already thought of his words.
"Your Majesty, it's not that I won't let you leave the palace, but you are the Emperor and you need to take more people with you when you leave the palace to avoid danger." The Queen Mother did not have any doubts when she arrived. After all, this was not the first time that the Emperor had left the palace.
"Don't worry, Queen Mother, next time I go out, I will take Guard Zhang and the others with me." The Emperor was afraid that the Queen Mother would ask further questions, so he quickly took the book and pretended to read it.
