Returning to Rujingyuan, Jiang Changning did not ask about the maid, but calmly told Xiulan, "Prepare water, I want to take a bath." "Yes, Princess." Xiulan put down the red date tea and left.

Jiang Changning sat down on the kang and took a sip of tea from the cup. It had a strong red date flavor and a faint sweetness.

"I didn't?" King Jin's tone was a little aggrieved.

"This is sweet tea. You don't like drinking it." Jiang Changning said casually.

When King Jin heard this, he felt a little happy. She knew what he liked.

Jiang Changning was frightened by his tender gaze and trembled. Although she was very happy today, she was very tired. She wanted to rest. She didn't want to be cooked!

Drinking red date tea in small sips, ignoring Prince Jin's gaze, she waited for Xiulan to come in and said, "Princess, the water is ready."

He quickly ran away and went to take a bath.

Soaking in the warm water with a faint floral fragrance, Jiang Changning was still thinking, how can he escape the fate of being boiled today?

After she finished taking a long bath, she entered the bedroom refreshed.

As soon as she went to bed, she told herself that she must fall asleep as soon as possible and go to find Duke Zhou before King Jin came out of his bath.

But the more I want to sleep, the less I fall asleep. I am obviously very tired.

Hearing the sound of Prince Jin entering the room, he closed his eyes tighter.

"Ning Ning, are you asleep?" King Jin walked to the bed and lifted the curtain.

Jiang Changning didn't answer, yes, she fell asleep.

Prince Jin got on the bed lightly. He lay on the quilt for a while to warm up, and then reached out to hug Jiang Changning.

Jiang Changning was mentally prepared, and she let him hug her softly without revealing her secrets.

It was just that Prince Jin sucked on her neck, which almost caused her to lose her power, but luckily she held back.

Seeing that she was already asleep, the King of Jin was reluctant to wake her up, so the couple just slept with their quilts covered.

Jiang Changning pretended to be asleep, and pretended to be asleep.

Have a good night's sleep.

In the early morning, when Jiang Changning woke up, King Jin had already gone to the morning court.

After lazily getting up and washing up, Mrs. Park and Mrs. Liu came, respectfully saluted and said: "Greetings to the princess, may the princess be blessed."

"No need to be polite." Jiang Changning raised his hand. Who set the rules for a concubine to come to the main wife every day to ask for help?

If the wife doesn't want to see the concubine, why would the concubine want to see the wife?

The two are disgusted with each other, but they still have to deal with each other every day.

After eating something, Jiang Changning went to the Liuxuan Courtyard to pay his respects to the concubine.

Mrs. Pu and Mrs. Liu followed her out of Rujingyuan and watched her leave.

"The princess is looking more and more radiant." Mrs. Liu said in a strange tone.

Mrs. Pu glanced at her but said nothing.

"They said they arranged for us to sleep with each other, and the date was set, but in the end she occupied the prince alone." Ms. Liu said angrily.

Mr. Pu frowned, "Ms. Zhou was just kicked out of the house. Do you want to be kicked out too?"

Mrs. Liu's face changed drastically and she pursed her lips.

After walking in silence for a while, Mrs. Pu suddenly said, "I don't know, Princess, when will Mrs. Chen be allowed to enter the palace?"

"I'm afraid it will have to wait until after the new year, right?" Ms. Liu speculated.

"This mansion is really deserted." Mrs. Pu said quietly.

Not only the Park family, but also the Emperor and the Emperor Annan felt that the palace of the Prince of Jin was too deserted, so he rewarded ten of the fifty beauties brought by Annan to the Prince of Jin.

In the past, the emperor would not dare to reward such beauties to Prince Jin, but this time, the emperor ignored Prince Jin's refusal and rewarded ten of them at once, "Prince Jin should not be busy with official duties all day long, he should relax more."

The King of Jin could only accept, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

Let Chang Youzhong send ten beauties back home to meet Jiang Changning.

Jiang Changning was practicing calligraphy in the study, and Xiulan walked in with a gloomy face, "Princess, Eunuch Chang is here, please come out."

"The prince is back so early?" Jiang Changning asked in surprise.

"No, the prince has not come back. It was the ten beauties that Eunuch Chang sent to the emperor as a reward for the prince." Xiulan said very unhappy.

"Ten beauties?" Jiang Changning was shocked. Did the emperor want King Jin to die of exhaustion, so as to achieve the goal of getting rid of King Jin without any blood?

Jiang Changning put down his rolled-up sleeves and walked out.

As soon as we entered the courtyard and the hall, we saw ten girls with outstanding looks.

"Young lady, I have met the princess, and I want to pay my respects to the princess." Chang Youzhong saluted.

"No need to be polite." Jiang Changning was quite polite to Chang Youzhong.

When the girls saw a beautiful young woman walking in, they all took a breath. Is this the mistress they will serve in the future?

Jiang Changning walked to the front seat and sat down. He looked at the ten slightly nervous girls in front of him and smiled slightly: "No need to be formal. What are your names? How old are you?"

The ten girls looked at each other, and one of them took a step forward, knelt down and saluted: "I have met the princess, my surname is Ruan, my name is Lizhu, and I am seventeen years old this year."

"I have met the princess. My surname is Ruan Mingshi Yao. I am sixteen years old this year."

"I have met the princess. My surname is Ruan Qinqin. I am sixteen years old this year."

Although Jiang Changning knew that the surname Ruan was Annan's common surname, the three of them were all surnamed Ruan, which made people want to ask more, "Are you of the same race?"

"As for the princess, we are not of the same race, we just have the same surname." Ruan Lizhu replied.

Jiang Changning nodded, indicating that he understood, "Continue."

Another girl came out and said: "I have met the princess, my surname is Huang Wei Ni, I am sixteen years old this year."

"I have met the princess, I..."

The girls started learning Mandarin when they set off from Annan. After several months of learning, they could understand it even though they still had a slight accent.

Exactly five out of ten people are from officials and five are from common people.

Jiang Changning did not lecture, "Let's go, I will take you to see the concubine."

"Princess." Chang Youzhong hurriedly walked to Jiang Changning and lowered his voice, "The concubine will not see them."

"Eunuch Chang wants me to take people to see the mourning concubine?" Jiang Changning asked.

The tone is calm, without a trace of anger, but Chang Youzhong still has the feeling of facing the King of Jin, not angry but powerful!

Jiang Changning ignored Chang Youzhong and took ten beauties out of Rujing Courtyard and headed to Liuxuan Courtyard.

When they arrived at Liuxuan Courtyard, Jiang Changning asked ten beauties to wait in the side room while she and Chang Youzhong went in to see the concubine.

Seeing the concubine, Jiang Changning said straight to the point: "Concubine, the emperor has rewarded the prince with ten beauties. I don't know which courtyards in the mansion are suitable for housing them. I would like to trouble my concubine to help my daughter-in-law and let my sister-in-law place them properly."

The concubine stared at Jiang Changning, "Are you unhappy?"

Jiang Changning smiled, "I have nothing to be unhappy about. These beauties are just toys, just like those ornaments. If they are good, keep them. If they are not, throw them away."

"You must really think so." The concubine obviously didn't believe her too much.

"Mother and concubine, originally it was the daughter-in-law's job to arrange for them, but now the housekeeper is the sister-in-law. Besides, this time, the daughter-in-law is afraid that she will do something inappropriate. Doesn't the sister-in-law have experience?" Jiang Changning said with a genuine smile.

Only then did the concubine realize that the power of the middle minister was not in Jiang Changning's hands. She took a cup of tea and took a sip of tea uncomfortably. She coughed lightly and said, "Before, you asked Mr. Qiao to be the housekeeper before you even entered the house. Now you

It has been two months since I married into the house, so you have to take over the housekeeping duties as soon as possible."

Jiang Changning smiled and did not answer her words.

Jiang Changning is really not in a hurry to take over as steward Quan.
