When the King of Jin saw Doctor Xue and then saw that it was Chunlai who was with him, he frowned and asked, "Master Xue, what is wrong with my princess?"
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. The princess just has excessive internal heat and there is nothing serious." Doctor Xue said with a smile.
"That's good." Prince Jin was relieved and nodded to Doctor Xue, "Thank you for your help."
"Your Highness is too polite. This is my duty." Doctor Xue said with a smile.
Prince Jin didn't bother to exchange pleasantries with him any more and went straight back to Rujing Courtyard.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw his little princess reading a storybook and eating melon seeds. "You are getting angry, and you are eating this. You are not allowed to eat it anymore."
"I'm not suffering from internal heat. I just asked Doctor Xue to diagnose me as suffering from internal heat." Jiang Changning said as he put the bookmark away.
"Why?" King Jin asked curiously.
"Princess Yu sent me an invitation to enjoy the flowers, but I didn't want to go, so I pretended to be sick." Jiang Changning said with a blunt smile.
King Jin became even more curious, "Why?"
The women in the inner court love to hold flower-viewing banquets and tea-tasting parties. Why is his little princess so special
"There is a rift between her and me. She invited me to the flower viewing banquet, which must have bad intentions. Now she is pregnant. If she makes a scene at the banquet and accuses me of having stomach discomfort and spotting, I will be in big trouble."
The inner quarters of Prince Jin's mansion were relatively clean, and dirty things rarely happened there, but Prince Jin had heard of people using children to frame others.
However, this kind of thing usually happens between wives and concubines, or sisters-in-law in the same household.
"She shouldn't be like this. After all, this is her first child. If she gave birth to a boy, he would be the Prince of Yu."
"I don't care whether she is that serious or not. I will stay away from her." Jiang Changning looked at King Jin, "Yong Zhou, I want to give birth to a daughter as my first child. Would you like it?"
"As long as they are born by you, I like them both, sons and daughters." Prince Jin said with a smile.
Jiang Changning smiled. She was satisfied with King Jin's answer, but she didn't want to delve into the truth of this sentence.
Three days later, the flower-viewing banquet at Prince Yu's Mansion welcomed guests including, in addition to Jiang Changning, Prince De's Crown Princess, Grandma Xu from Prince Qing's Mansion, Prince Ding's Crown Princess, and other royal wives.
The absence of Princess Ningxia was expected, but since Princess Jin was also not there, some people inevitably asked about it.
"I have sent an invitation to Princess Jin, but she is ill and cannot come to the banquet." After explaining, Zhao Xifang added, "The second wife of the Wuchang Earl's Mansion said that Princess Jin was weak when she was a girl. I think it is a disease she brought from her mother's womb. She should rest more."
"The disease she brought from her mother's womb is very difficult to cure. No wonder she is still not pregnant after half a year of marriage." Xu took the opportunity to add insult to injury.
"I see that Princess Jin looks well, and doesn't seem to have any deficiencies. Whether or not one can have children is a matter of fate." The Princess of De had a good impression of Jiang Changning and spoke up for her.
"Maybe in a few days, there will be good news from the Prince of Jin's Mansion." The Crown Princess of Prince Changshan was on good terms with the Crown Princess of Prince De, and she agreed with her words.
Zhao Xifang glanced at the two of them and said, "Princess Jin and I participated in the beauty pageant together, and we got married one after another. Now that I'm pregnant, I wanted to ask her to come over to share in the good fortune."
"Aunt meant well, it's a pity." Xu laughed sarcastically.
The Princess Consort of Prince De frowned. It seemed that Lady Xu had something very against the Princess Consort of Prince Jin.
Normally, they don't interact much.
Could it be that something unknown happened between them
"I hope she recovers soon. I'll have the chance to invite her to appreciate the flowers again." Zhao Xifang said with a smile.
At first glance, this statement seems fine, but upon closer inspection, it is thought-provoking.
The Dewang Crown Prince's wife said somewhat unhappily: "Well, since the Jinwang Consort is not here, let's not talk about her, so that others won't misunderstand us as a group of villains who like to gossip about others behind their backs."
"Let's just enjoy the flowers." Prince Changshan chimed in.
"Cutting the pictures, let them bring the flowers up." Zhao Xifang looked at the two of them, her eyes slightly fixed. Jiang Changning was really capable, as he had actually won over these two people.
After appreciating the flowers and having lunch at Prince Yu's Mansion, Princess De found an excuse and left the Mansion.
After much deliberation, the Princess Consort of Prince De decided to go to the Prince Jin's Mansion.
"The Crown Prince's Consort is here?" Jiang Changning was a little stunned when he heard the announcement.
When wealthy and powerful families come to visit, they will send a visiting card one day in advance. This one came suddenly. Did something happen
Jiang Changning quickly changed his clothes and went to Zhengzeyuan to meet the guest.
When the Dewang Crown Prince's wife saw Jiang Changning, she asked directly, "Cousin, have you ever offended the Yuwang Consort and the Xu family?"
"Why did they say bad things about me at the flower-viewing banquet?" Jiang Changning asked with a smile.
"Everything you said is true." The Crown Princess of Prince De told him what happened at the flower-viewing banquet.
Jiang Changning asked with a smile: "Last year, when the Ningxia prince got married, the Ningxia princess fainted in the wedding sedan. Do you still remember?"
"Remember. This is a once-in-a-century event. How could I not remember it?" The Crown Princess of Prince De said with a smile.
"Everyone thinks that this was done by Princess Yu. Princess Yu refuses to admit it. She doesn't have to admit it, but she has to shift the blame to me, and wants Princess Ningxia to cause trouble for me. But Princess Ningxia is not a fool. If it's Laba Festival, Princess Ningxia will come to settle the score with her."
After hearing this, the Princess of De suddenly realized, "What kind of talented woman is this Princess of Yu? With this kind of character, oh my, tut tut tut."
Jiang Changning continued, "As for Xu, I haven't offended her, but the Duke of Wei's Mansion has always been close to the Zhao family, and she will definitely be a pawn of Princess Yu."
"That's why you didn't go to her flower viewing party."
"She's pregnant, precious, I dare not have a verbal argument with her, what if I make her angry, and make her sick, how can I compensate her with a baby?"
"That makes sense. I should stay away from her, too, to avoid getting into trouble before I get to eat the mutton." said the Crown Princess of Prince De.
"Sui Yan, thank you so much." Jiang Changning said with a smile.
"Why are you being so polite? We hit it off right away."
"You came just in time. The farm delivered some fresh fruits and vegetables this morning. I was just sending someone to deliver them to your house. You can take some back with you now."
"I got your good stuff again."
Jiang Changning asked his servants to carry a basket of fruits and vegetables onto the carriage of Prince De's wife, and sent her to the outside of the ceremonial gate. He watched her get on the carriage before returning to Rujingyuan.
As soon as he entered the yard, Jiang Changning's face darkened. Zhao Xifang was pregnant and it was not easy to move around. Xu's stinky mouth needed to be washed.
In the next few days, Jiang Changning prepared a medicine that could cause a person to temporarily lose his voice.
She came across this prescription by chance when she was reading some miscellaneous books, and she thought it was the best remedy for dealing with people with foul mouths.
