Although the concubine told King Jin that Jiang Changning had a meek temperament and did not agree with it, it was not important. Her son cared more about her, which was more important.

"It's right not to let her know. Anyway, she was the one in the palace who pointed it out to you. The one in the palace has never had good intentions towards Prince Jin's palace."

"That's what the concubine said." Prince Jin randomly picked some unimportant matters in the court and told them to the concubine.

The concubine believed it was true and helped with suggestions.

The look on King Jin's taught face made the concubine satisfied.

The mother and son were chatting when Mrs. Qiao and her daughter arrived, so the topic could not continue.

The concubine said unhappily: "You are a shameless thing."

When Mrs. Qiao entered the Nuan Pavilion, she saw that only Prince Jin was there and Jiang Changning was not here. A happy look flashed across her face. It was great that there was no such thing as Jiang Changning's eyesore.

The warm scene that Mr. Qiao imagined for a "family of three" to have a meal with the concubine did not happen. The concubine drove the people away, "It's snowing, take Kangren back to the courtyard."

"Concubine, it's cold. You'd better not get up too early. Why don't you delay the greeting time by two quarters of an hour?" King Jin said with concern.

The concubine was moved by her son's thoughtfulness and said, "If you postpone the greeting time by two quarters of an hour in the morning, you don't have to come over in the evening. It's dark and the roads are slippery."

"It's okay if they don't come over. The son can come over to accompany his mother and concubine." King Jin said with a smile.

"Okay." The concubine smiled happily, showing the fine lines at the corners of her eyes.

Mrs. Qiao and Princess Kangren left, and Prince Jin had dinner with the concubine.

After dinner, King Jin talked with the concubine for a while before leaving the Liuxuan Courtyard.

"Your Majesty, are you going to the Blue Algae Garden tonight?" Chang Youzhong asked.

"Chang Youzhong, did those cakes that the princess rewarded you feed into the dog's belly?" King Jin asked in a deep voice.

Chang Youzhong's heart trembled, the prince valued the princess, and he asked the prince to go to Chen's place. He was really confused, "Your Majesty, it's Chen who has something to say to the prince."

"Chang Youzhong, are you planning to change your master?" King Jin asked coldly.

"Little..." Chang Youzhong gave himself a slap in the face. Forget it, it's better not to say anything. The more he said, the more wrong he would be.

The fourth day of the twelfth lunar month was the day when Chen Yi entered Prince Jin's Mansion. On this night, Prince Jin really should go to sleep with her, but there was an incident about the silver needle when he entered the house. It was understandable that Prince Jin didn't go to sleep with her.

Chen Yi's status was undecided and she was in an awkward situation, but early the next morning, she came to Rujingyuan to pay respects to Jiang Changning.

It's just that she was too early. It was three quarters to three o'clock in the morning and Jiang Changning hadn't woken up yet.

"Miss Chen, please wait in the Nuan Pavilion." Xiulan raised the curtain and said.

"I'm here to serve the princess." Chen Yi said.

"The slaves will serve the princess, so there is no need to strain Miss Chen." Xiulan said with a smile on her face.

Chen Yi bit the corner of her lower lip and said, "You should serve the princess as you should."

"Miss Chen, please come to the Nuan Pavilion for a meeting." Xiulan would not let these concubines get close to Jiang Changning.

Chen Yi had no choice but to enter the Nuan Pavilion.

As soon as she entered the Nuan Pavilion, Chen Yi smelled the faint fragrance of flowers.

She likes to make incense and is very sensitive to fragrance. This fragrance is very special.

It has the smell of sunshine and citrus. Smoking this fragrance in winter will give you a warm feeling.

This kind of incense is probably privately made.

There is no such exquisite incense in any of the major incense shops in Beijing.

Subconsciously, she went to look for an incense burner.

Good fragrance goes with a good stove.

She saw a green-glazed Suanni incense burner.

The furnace body is in the shape of a lotus, and a Suan Ni squats on the furnace lid.

The body of the furnace is an upturned lotus-style Xumizuo with a blooming lotus, half of which is glazed and half of which is unglazed.

The areas that are not glazed appear yellowish white, which is mainly to express the effect of the lotus under the light, which is very subtle.

On the stove lid, Suan Ni is sitting squatting with his head raised and his tail raised. There are three bells on his neck and one foot is stepping on an embroidered bead, which makes him look very lively.

Suanni is hollow, and white smoke curls out from its mouth, which is in line with the legend that Suanni, one of the five sons of the dragon, likes to swallow fireworks.

A complicated look flashed in Chen Yi's eyes. She had seen an incense burner that was smaller than this one and was worth thousands of gold.

The incense burner is treasured by the owner and will only be taken out at specific times or when there are special guests.

But here, it is like an ordinary incense burner placed in the heating cabinet and can be used at will.

The palace is really rich and noble, but it's a pity that she is just a wife and can't enjoy these things.

Unless one day, the mother becomes a concubine based on the value of her son.

If Jiang Changning knew what Chen Yi was thinking, he would tell her that even if she were a princess, even if she became a concubine in the future, she would not be able to enjoy it. These are all her dowry.

"Miss Chen, what's wrong?" Xiulan brought tea in and saw Chen Yi staring at the incense burner, "But Miss Chen can't get used to this fragrance?"

"The fragrance smells very good." Chen Yi looked away, not daring to get on the kang, and sat down on a chair covered with a red embroidered tufted chair.

Chen Yi waited in the Nuan Pavilion for a long time. When Xiulan came in to change her third cup of tea, Pu and Liu came in.

Seeing Chen Yi, who was still dressed as a girl who had not left the court, Park and Liu immediately knew her identity, and Mrs. Chen was unable to complete the concubine ceremony.

"Mrs. Park, Aunt Liu, this is Miss Chen." Xiulan introduced her responsibly.

"I've met Mrs. Park, I've met Aunt Liu." Chen Yi's status has not yet been determined, and she is inferior to others.

Mrs. Pu accepted her courtesy, and Mrs. Liu bowed down and returned the gift.

The three of them waited in the Nuan Pavilion for a short while before Jiang Changning arrived.

When he came in, Jiang Changning said: "Miss Chen has an injury on her leg, so there is no need to be polite."

Chen Yi froze there. The injury on her leg was not serious. After applying medicine and spending another night, it was mostly healed.

Mrs. Pu and Mrs. Liu looked at each other quickly, and then greeted Jiang Changning.

"It's cold in winter, so I'll say hello in the morning a quarter of an hour later," Jiang Changning said.

"Thank you, Princess, for thinking of me like this." Mrs. Pu bowed and said.

Jiang Changning smiled and said, "We live in the same house, let's understand each other."

Fang Ju led people to bring breakfast in. Chen Yi was about to step forward when she saw Pu and Liu retreating aside.

Chen Yi was surprised, don't they serve the princess to eat?

The Pu family and the Liu family really don't need them. Just as Liu Ye said, Jiang Changning has more than a dozen maids around him, so these concubines are out of the question.

Jiang Changning didn't like having her concubines watch her eat, but she couldn't drive her away.

The two sides can only continue to get along in such an awkward manner.

After breakfast, Jiang Changning went to pay his respects to the concubine.

The three concubines escorted her to the door and watched her get into the sedan chair.

Mrs. Dali lifted the sedan and walked forward. Chen Yi followed and found Mrs. Pu and Ms. Liu standing still, "Don't you have to go and pay your respects to the concubine?"

Mrs. Liu replied: "It is rare for a concubine to see concubines."

"Now we can each go back to our respective courtyards to rest." Mrs. Pu sighed quietly, "It's such a long day with nothing to do every day. It's really hard to live this day."

After saying this, Mrs. Pu twisted her waist and left like a weakling.

"Miss Chen, do you want to go together?" Ms. Liu asked.

"Okay, let's go together." Chen Yi accepted Liu's kindness.
