After the news that Dingguo Gongfu and Zheng Guogong's two families were going to get married came out, a lot of people were shocked, and the noble lady who had been eyeing Xie Jingyi as her son-in-law could only silently regret it.
The emperor, Longti Kangtai, refused to accept any more concubines. Duke Dingguo's position was as stable as Mount Tai. Even if Xie Jingyi was only an heir, he was the commander of the imperial guards and the emperor's confidant. Not only did he have a promising future, but his backyard was also clean.
It can be said that Xie Jingyi is the best husband-in-law candidate in the hearts of ladies of the right age.
Now the news that he is going to be engaged suddenly came out, and the hearts of these noble girls were all broken, and they all envied and envied the second daughter of Zheng Guogong's mansion.
Originally, after Princess Qin was gone, Yang Shuqing was proudly preparing to take over, but suddenly news of Xie Jingyi's engagement came out, and Yang Shuqing was very angry, and threw the porcelain all over the floor.
"Miss, don't be angry, if you disturb the prince, you will be in trouble." Clinique cautiously persuaded, but she was very speechless in her heart. Master Xie has nothing to do with the lady, why bother to get angry for someone who has nothing to do with it.
Clinique didn't dare to say these words, the young lady has a domineering temper and is extremely possessive.
"You're right, it's not a good time to have extra problems now." Hearing what Clinique said, Yang Shuqing suddenly came to her senses. She is now a 'pregnant woman', and the King of Qin is ready to make her a princess. Something went wrong at this time.
Doctor Chen is still unconscious.
If possible, it would be best to get rid of Imperial Physician Chen, but unfortunately there is no way to do so.
Clinique secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Qianrong was sent out of the Prince Qin's mansion by the lady, and placed in a courtyard in the capital. She lived in seclusion. If she didn't investigate carefully, she would not have found out that Qianrong was pregnant.
Yang Shuqing didn't throw things to vent her anger, but she didn't do nothing, he could find someone to take action against the second daughter of Duke Zheng's mansion.
Xie Jingyi is hers, even if she can't get it, she won't allow other women to get involved.
Yang Shuqing's paranoia towards Xie Jingyi has penetrated into his bones.
In the last life, Xie Jingyi and Jiang Ningbao were in harmony with each other, Yang Shuqing had been thinking about and envious of her. In this life, she had fulfilled her wish to marry Xie Jingyi, but Xie Jingyi's status was too far apart, so she reconciled with Xie Jingyi.
But Yang Shuqing still couldn't let go.
"Clinique, isn't there any bad news from Duke Dingguo's mansion?" Yang Shuqing suddenly remembered another thing, logically speaking, it's time to call the imperial physician.
However, Dingguo's mansion seemed to be silent.
Yang Shuqing couldn't help being a little irritable. Every time he met Jiang Ningbao, he always felt that everything was in vain, which was very disappointing.
Clinique bowed her head and replied, "No."
Yang Shuqing frowned, her pretty face darkened, and murmured: "It shouldn't be, it's impossible for Xiangu Xu's medicine to be useless again, where are Jiang Nanhua and his wife?"
Clinique replied tremblingly: "They are all well."
Yang Shuqing's expression turned very ugly in an instant, and she couldn't help but slapped the table fiercely, cursing angrily: "Damn it, Xu Xiangu, a damned guy, lied to me."
Clinique lowered her head and dared not take a breath.
After Yang Shuqing vented for a while, she died down. Xu Xiangu was already dead, and it would be useless for her to get angry again.
Jiang Ningbao didn't know about Yang Shuqing's possessiveness towards Xie Jingyi, nor did she know that Yang Shuqing had attacked her parents before, and they were all resolved one by one by her magical medicinal wine. She was busy preparing the betrothal gift to be hired by Zheng Guogong's mansion. After being busy for several days, she personally Bring the official media to the door to formalize the marriage.
On the day of the engagement, Jiang Ningbao finally met Zheng Lin, the second daughter of Zheng Guogong's mansion. Zheng Lin has exquisite and soft features, beautiful and dignified, elegant temperament, a very nice girl.
Jiang Ningbao was very satisfied.
He didn't notice Chunle's surprised eyes.
Back at Duke Dingguo's mansion, Chunle couldn't help expressing her own doubts: "Madam, this servant finds that the appearance and temperament of the second girl of the Zheng family are somewhat similar to yours."
Jiang Ningbao smiled indifferently: "There are many people with similar looks in the world, so don't worry, the second girl of the Zheng family is a nice girl, and she seems to have a good temper."
"The maidservant is just worried that Master Xie will be displeased when he sees the appearance of the second girl of the Zheng family." Chun Le muttered.
Jiang Ningbao glanced at Chunle, and smiled: "There's nothing to worry about. Xie Jingyi agreed to it himself. I think he doesn't care about marrying anyone. I guess he is still thinking about Yang Shuqing in his heart."
At this moment, Jiang Ningbao has obviously forgotten the strange look that Xie Jingyi once looked at her.
Chunle: "..."
Chunxi brought fresh melons and fruits, and also brought a letter. Jiang Ningbao tore it open, and was slightly surprised that it turned out to be Jiang Mingyao's letter. After her uncle regained his title, Jiang Mingyao finally let go of his grievances and prepared to resume contact with her. .
Jiang Ningbao looked indifferent.
The relationship between her and Jiang Mingyao was weak, and Jiang Mingyao's life was very good, her husband was very good to her, it didn't matter whether he came or went, so she didn't reply, she believed that Jiang Mingyao would understand what she meant.
In fact, besides Jiang Mingyao, Jiang Shuyan, who married into the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, was also very grateful to her, and even came to express her thanks.
Jiang Ningbao only asked people to pay attention to Mrs. Jiang's situation. As for the people in the big house, she didn't care.
Ever since Mrs. Jiang returned to Changning Bo's mansion, she asked someone to set up a small Buddhist hall, and stayed quietly in the courtyard, devoting herself to the Buddha.
The days calmed down again.
Apart from handling government affairs, Jiang Ningbao and Mrs. Xie took Brother Qi and Brother Lin together. After she secretly brewed flower brew for the two little guys that they could drink, the two little guys grew stronger and stronger. Also getting bigger and bigger.
On this day, Duke Dingguo took a rest, and together with Jiang Ningbao, spread a thick blanket in the garden of the main courtyard, and let the two energetic little guys crawl on it.
"Ningbao, the news just came out from the palace that the empress has activated it." Duke Ding rolled over Brother Qi, and talked to Jiang Ningbao about the affairs of the palace.
"Quite soon, where is the imperial concubine, haven't you activated it yet?" Jiang Ningbao asked casually, she was more concerned about the situation of Fu Wanning, a friend.
Ding Guogong shook his head: "According to the imperial physician, it will also be one or two days."
Jiang Ningbao nodded and didn't say anything else. Her miscarriage-preserving medicinal wine could allow them to give birth safely, so she was not worried, and instead asked about the situation of the concubine Yang Wanling: "My lord, how is the concubine now?"
At the beginning, the two concubines in the palace had accidents at the same time. In fact, Emperor Qianyuan and Duke Dingguo didn't believe that it was her, so they didn't give her death. The status of the virtuous concubine in the palace is actually very strange.
She was not favored by Emperor Qianyuan. It seemed that she only entered the palace to seek asylum. After being thrown into the cold palace, someone secretly took care of her, and she did not suffer.
When Jiang Ningbao learned of this secret, he was shocked.
"The maidservant next to the virtuous concubine bumped into the holy car and was killed with a stick. The emperor is going to let her feign death and leave the palace." Duke Ding said in a calm voice.
Jiang Ningbao widened her eyes and asked curiously.
"Does the emperor know that Yang Shuqing did it?"
Ding Guogong said in a low voice: "I don't know, the emperor suspects that it was the hands of King Qin or King Jin."
Jiang Ningbao's eyes fluttered, and an idea popped up in his heart, and he smiled slyly: "Master Guo, what do you think of disclosing the news of Yang Shuqing's fake pregnancy to King Jin?"
Recently, King Qin was making a fuss in order to correct Yang Shuqing, and I heard that Concubine Shu fainted from anger.
Dingguo raised his eyebrows, glanced at Ningbao's cunning appearance, and slightly raised the corner of his mouth: "Yes, King Qin and King Jin have fought too fiercely, and they have already ended their feud. King Jin should be happy to see King Qin make a fool of himself."
Emperor Qianyuan transferred all the officials who took refuge in the two princes, and those who were in positions of real power also replaced their official posts with confidants. The power of the two princes was weakened again and again. Seeing that the momentum was not right, King Jin had already begun to fall silent. King Qin was secretly still alive The heart is jumping up and down.
In fact, they can't afford to ride the big waves.
However, Concubine Yang, who had a strange luck, still had to be dealt with, so that she couldn't jump at all.
Jiang Ningbao was very happy to get the support of Ding Guogong. Seeing Brother Lin was about to climb to the edge of the blanket, he hurried over to hug him back to the middle of the blanket, and said something speechless.
"Brother Qi and Brother Lin are getting skinnier."
Duke Ding's eyes fell on the two little guys, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up: "This is very good, your flower stuffing is not in vain." Apparently he already knew about her secretly feeding the two little guys with flower stuffing.
A trace of guilt flashed across Jiang Ningbao's delicate face.
"My lord, do you know?"
Duke Ding nodded, with a smile in his eyes: "Well, I knew it the first time you fed them flower brew. Afterwards, I found an imperial doctor to diagnose them."
The imperial doctor said that the two children were very healthy.
Ding Guogong did not stop Jiang Ningbao's move.
Little did they know that this was the only way to avoid Yang Shuqing's calculations. Of course, it was also Jiang Ningbao's good luck.
Jiang Ningbao: "..."
In the distance, Mrs. Xie and Nanny Huang stood there watching the happy interaction of the family of four. Mrs. Xie showed a satisfied smile on her face.
"Madam, the relationship between the Duke and Madam is so good!" Huang Momo sighed as she supported the old lady.
Mrs. Xie nodded with a smile.
"Yeah, now that Jing Yi's marriage has been settled, I'm completely relieved."
"Old Madam, after Eldest Young Master made a marriage agreement, Second Madam Xie wanted to give her niece to Eldest Young Master as a concubine." Huang Momo frowned and said.
Mrs. Xie smiled coldly: "She is dreaming."
Mrs. Xie's act of kneeling down to force Xie Jingyi to marry her niece had completely angered Mrs. Xie. She asked someone to bring a message to Xie's mansion. Mrs. Xie was restrained, and she was just released, and she was restless.
"Second Madam Xie said that her niece's reputation was ruined and she could only marry the young master, but the young master ignored it. Madam Xie did not seem to give up, and blocked people on the road again and again." Huang Nam said this face Neither look good.
Mrs. Xie's face darkened: "Her niece ruined her reputation because she did it herself. Don't worry about it. Jing Yi will take care of it. You don't need to tell Ning Bao about such a trivial matter."
Grandma Huang nodded in response.
The two left as quietly as they had come.
Jiang Ningbao and Ding Guogong didn't know that Mrs. Xie came over, they sat on the blanket and chatted while taking care of the two little guys.
The warm spring sunshine fell on the two of them, coating them with a faint golden light.
