Today, when Chen Yi offered tea, she did not invite outsiders to watch the ceremony, but let other concubines be witnesses.
But as soon as he entered the main hall, Jiang Changning saw Qiao who had come uninvited, "Why is sister-in-law here?"
"There's something going on at home, so how could I not come?" Mrs. Qiao said with a smile.
Just as Prince Jin was about to speak, Jiang Changning gently pushed him and asked him to sit down.
Thinking of the promise she had made to Jiang Changning to let her handle the matter, she sat down on the chair with a gloomy face.
Jiang Changning smiled, "Sister-in-law, we do live in the same house and are a family, but this is our second house's business after all, it is not appropriate for you to be here."
Without waiting for Mrs. Qiao to speak, Jiang Changning said, "Come here, ask the concubine to go back to the courtyard and rest."
Xiaochun and Banqin came in upon hearing the noise and went forward to help Qiao.
Mrs. Qiao was a little stunned. She didn't expect Jiang Changning to drive people away so decisively. When she came to her senses, Xiaochun and Banqin had already held her on the left and right.
"Let me go, you two bitches, how dare you be so rude?" Qiao cursed angrily.
Jiang Changning signaled the two maids to let go, "Since sister-in-law doesn't want the maids to help her, I will escort her out myself."
As he said that, Jiang Changning went over, took Qiao's arm and pulled her out.
Qiao wanted to stay, but she couldn't find a suitable excuse for a moment. When she was distracted, she was dragged out of the door by Jiang Changning.
When they reached the door, Jiang Changning quickly let go of Qiao's arm. After holding it for just a moment, she almost felt sick.
"Today it was Chen who offered me tea. Those who came were all the prince's concubines. Sister-in-law, are you coming here because you don't want to be the master anymore and want to wear your skirt inside out and become the prince's concubine?" Jiang Changning asked with a sneer.
"This is your first time doing this. I came here because I was afraid you might miss something. You really don't know how to appreciate a good person." Qiao argued cunningly.
"Sister-in-law, you can say this, but I can't listen to it. I advise you to calm down. There are some people you are destined not to get." Jiang Changning didn't say anything more to her and turned into the hall.
A trace of panic flashed across Qiao's face, but she calmed down in an instant. Jiang Changning knew her feelings for Prince Jin, so what could he do to her
Even though Park had the support of the Anding Marquisate, they still didn't dare to touch her, let alone Jiang, an orphan.
After sending Mrs. Qiao away, Jiang Changning told the maid, "Bring the tea."
Chen Yi, dressed in pink, knelt before Prince Jin and offered him tea.
Prince Jin took the cup and put it aside. "Serve the princess well and obey her. Don't cause trouble or upset her."
The princess was mentioned three times in one sentence. Chen Yi felt bitter. How could she win favor in this situation
"I'll remember this." Chen Yi said with her head down.
The maid helped Chen Yi up and made her kneel in front of Jiang Changning.
"Princess, please have some tea." Chen Yi offered the tea with both hands.
Jiang Changning took the tea, took a sip, and put the cup down. "Serve the prince well in the future and get along well with everyone."
When Liu heard her say to serve the prince well, she curled her lips. The prince rested in Rujing Courtyard every day, so how could they serve him
She pretended to be virtuous and arranged the date, and then monopolized the prince. She was extremely hypocritical.
Jiang Changning took off the gilded flower bracelet on his right hand and gave it to Chen Yi. "You guys should also come and pay your respects to Madam Chen."
Chen Yi's status has been confirmed, so she is qualified to accept gifts from Liu and others.
"According to the rules, you need to add a few more servants to your courtyard. Tomorrow, let Concubine Dao bring some people over for you to choose." Jiang Changning said.
Prince Jin frowned, his eyes darkening.
"Thank you, Princess." Chen Yi bowed.
"Madam Chen, the prince just came back from the yamen and he must have been very tired. Please take care of him and let him go back to the yard to rest." Jiang Changning said with a smile.
As soon as she finished speaking, Prince Jin stood up. Chen Yi's expression was calm, but her eyes were bright.
Jiang Changning pursed his lips, what a stinky man, he is really impatient.
"This prince has indeed worked very hard. The princess has always served me very well. I would like to trouble the princess to continue serving me." Prince Jin said as he grabbed Jiang Changning's wrist and led her out.
Prince Jin didn't even turn his head. Jiang Changning was a little surprised. He thought Prince Jin would take Chen Yi away with him. Unexpectedly, Prince Jin didn't like the new and was attached to the old.
Jiang Changning was brought back to Ruyi Courtyard by Prince Jin, half hugged and half embraced into the warm room, and pressed on the kang and kissed.
"Yong, Zhuo!" Jiang Changning was almost suffocated by his fierce attack. She finally pushed him away and rolled quickly onto the kang. She grabbed the pillow and hugged it in her arms, panting.
Her clear black eyes sparkled with watery light, her face was flushed, her cherry lips were tender and tempting, and she was extremely alluring.
"Come here." Prince Jin opened his arms and invited Jiang Changning to throw himself into his arms.
Jiang Changning shook her head. She didn't want to do anything that would put her in a tiger's mouth.
Prince Jin rushed over to grab her, and Jiang Changning shrank back.
But the kang was so small that Prince Jin easily caught his little princess and bent down to kiss her again.
Jiang Changning put his hand over his mouth and said, "Yong Zhou, stop messing around. We'll have lunch soon."
"Are you making trouble again after lunch?" Prince Jin asked with a smile.
"Aren't you going back to the yamen to do your work in the afternoon?" Jiang Changning asked.
The King of Jin smiled and said, "During the New Year, the government office is not busy."
"By the way, Your Majesty, how do you deal with the books you have compiled?"
"Ningning wants to collect it?" Prince Jin immediately saw through her intention.
"I think some books are worth collecting." Jiang Changning said seriously.
King Jin stood up, leaned over, and pecked Jiang Changning on the lips, "Great minds think alike."
"No, it should be the husband singing and the wife following."
These words pleased the King of Jin, and he happily hugged Jiang Changning and gave him a big kiss.
After lunch, Prince Jin was unable to stay at home and trouble his little princess. Cao Jiang had something to report, so he went out.
In the Blue Algae Courtyard, Chen Yi said sadly to the table full of cold dishes, "Let's leave."
As soon as she offered tea, the prince took the princess away. How could she still expect the prince to come and have lunch with her at noon
"Madam, the mistress, Concubine Dao, has brought people here." A maid came in to report.
Chen Yi cheered up and went out to greet her. "I'm here to meet the Mistress of Concubine Dao. I pay my respects to the Mistress of Concubine Dao."
"Sister Chen, please stop being so polite." Qiao helped Chen Yi up. "We live in the same mansion, so we should be closer, but the county lady is narrow-minded and intolerant."
Although Chen Yi has been in the mansion for a month, her status is still unclear. It is not easy for Qiao to cut off contact with her. Now, under the pretext of adding someone to Chen Yi's family, she comes to make friends with Chen Yi in person.
In Zhengze Courtyard, Chen Yi had already noticed the discord between the sisters-in-law, but she would not speak ill of Jiang Changning in front of Mrs. Qiao.
Just like Jiang Changning said, they lived in the same house and were a family, but in different houses.
"Please come into the room and have some tea, Madam Concubine Dao." Chen Yi said with a polite smile.
Qiao and Chen Yi entered the warm room. Chen Yi served them tea personally and the two chatted insincerely.
According to the rules, Chen Yi left five servants to serve her.
When Jiang Changning learned about this, he smiled and did not comment.
