Given Princess De's style, how could she find such an unpresentable man for Yan Yinyao
This matter was too strange, so Jiang Changning asked Xiaochun to send someone to investigate.
You wouldn't know until you ask. After asking, you found out that Su Quanfu was indeed the nephew of Princess De's brother-in-law, but not his biological nephew, but a distant nephew.
He did have some achievements, but they were earned through donations, not real talent or knowledge.
Another thing is that Su Quanfu loves drinking and is drunk seven out of ten days.
He got drunk and went berserk, beating people up. It was said that he beat his first wife to death.
He spent five thousand taels of silver to persuade Princess De's younger sister and brother-in-law, and only then did Princess De introduce him to Yan Yin.
How could a person like this have the nerve to ask someone to intercede for a blind date with Yan Yinyao
Moreover, five thousand taels of silver is not a small amount of money, and he is really generous.
I'm afraid there's something else going on with this blind date.
Jiang Changning thought about it and sent someone to the Ministry of War to pass on a message, asking Prince Jin to come back early as there was important matter to discuss.
The Prince of Jin was startled by the message and came back immediately. As soon as he entered the door, he asked anxiously, "Where is the princess? Where is the princess?"
"The princess is in the room," the maid replied.
Jiang Changning heard the voice and walked out of the room. He looked up and saw the anxious Prince Jin. "Prince, why did you come back?"
"Ningning, are you okay?" Prince Jin looked her up and down.
"I'm fine." Jiang Changning reacted immediately and laughed, "Your Majesty is really worried and confused. If I had something wrong, how could I discuss it with you?"
Prince Jin also came back to his senses, put his arm around her shoulders and walked into the house, "What is it that you can't make up your mind about that you want to discuss with me?"
"Do you still remember that I accompanied my mother to Xiangguo Temple a few days ago?" Jiang Changning asked.
"Who was so blind as to offend you?" King Jin asked in a deep voice.
"That day, mother actually took my cousin to meet someone." Jiang Changning told what happened that day, and also told what she asked Xiaochun to find out.
"After my cousin came to the palace, she never left the main gate or the secondary gate and had no contact with outsiders. She is just a widowed young woman. What can anyone plot against her?"
Jiang Changning snorted coldly, "It's just Xiang Zhuang dancing with a sword, aiming at Pei Gong."
"Ningning, could it be that Su Quanfu is just a toad wanting to eat swan meat? After all, his image is too bad, and my cousin doesn't like him. He has no chance to get close to me."
"But the Su family has long been in decline. Where did Su Quanfu get five thousand taels of silver? Isn't it suspicious that such a huge amount of money came from an unknown source?"
"It's suspicious. We must investigate it thoroughly."
Jiang Changning picked up the teacup, took a few sips of tea, turned his head and looked at Prince Jin, "Your Highness, do you think this matter is related to the crossbow issue?"
King Jin was surprised, "Why do you think so?"
"The thought that suddenly popped into my mind."
"It's a sudden inspiration, so it must make sense." Prince Jin said with a smile.
After the craftsmen were taken away, King Jin had people keep an eye on the courtyard, but unfortunately no one came, so King Jin's plan of waiting failed.
If Su Quanfu is really related to this matter, then there will be new clues.
"Your Highness, please talk to my mother and ask her to pick someone first and then bring him to my cousin to see, so that no one can show up and make people feel disgusted."
"I'll go talk to mother right away." Prince Jin stood up and said.
Jiang Changning sent him out of the yard, and when he turned back, he heard the maid say that the young master had woken up, so he hurried to see his son.
When Xiao Ming woke up, his little face was rosy and pink, with a tuft of little hair standing up on the top of his head. He looked soft and cute, and extremely adorable.
"My dear son, be good." Jiang Changning called sweetly.
"Mom." Xiao Ming spoke in a baby voice.
The mother and son were playing on the couch, head to head, and Xiao Ming was laughing with joy.
After a while, Xiulan brought in some food.
"Eat, eat tomorrow." Xiao Ming waved his hands and said happily.
He now likes food more than milk, and milk becomes his supplementary food.
The maid brought warm water, and Jiang Changning took a soft cloth dipped in green salt and wiped his teeth.
The little guy's teeth are well protected, with neat and tidy white little baby teeth.
While Jiang Changning was helping him brush his teeth, his eyes were looking expectantly at the food on the table.
"Come, drink some water. Don't swallow it, spit it out." Jiang Changning taught his son.
The little guy only spit out half of the water and swallowed the other half, then grinned at his mother.
"Bad boy, drink another sip and don't swallow it again. If you swallow it again, I won't let you eat the delicious food." Jiang Changning said with a stern face.
"Mom, I'll be good tomorrow." The little guy smiled ingratiatingly.
"You are not good, you are a bad boy." Jiang Changning pinched his little nose lightly.
The little guy understood and shook his head, "Not bad, not bad."
"Okay, okay, you're not bad, just drink some water." Jiang Changning fed him a few more sips of water before starting to feed him minced meat and egg custard.
The little guy has a strong appetite and is not picky about food. He finished a bowl of minced meat and egg custard cleanly.
"Tummy, I'm hungry." The little guy patted his belly, indicating that he was not full yet.
"Let's eat at dinner time. Let's go out and play." Jiang Changning helped him put on his shoes and carried him off the couch.
The water lilies in the Taiping jar are in bloom, standing tall and graceful, showing their elegance.
Jiang Changning picked up his son and said, "There are three different colors of lotus in this tank. This is a pink lotus, this is a white lotus, and this is a green lotus. Their petals are different colors, and the colors of their stamens are different."
Before she had finished imparting knowledge to her son, the little guy moved swiftly and with just one stretch of his little hand, he grabbed the stem of the pink lotus.
"You little bastard, let go now, don't be so ruthless." Jiang Changning held him, unable to pry his hands apart.
"Eat, eat, Huahua, eat." Not only did the little guy not let go, he also pulled hard.
"You're a little foodie. You want to eat everything you can get. Okay, okay, I'll ask them to fry some flower petals for you to eat." Jiang Changning held him with one hand and patted his little hand with the other hand, "Let go."
There is no need to let go, the flower has been pulled down by him. The little guy pulled the flower down and stuffed it into his mouth.
Seeing the little guy eating so happily, Jiang Changning said with a smile: "Stinky boy, give mother a piece, don't eat it alone."
When the King of Jin came back, he saw the mother and daughter eating lotus petals from a bowl. "Why are you eating lotus petals raw? And you're giving it to the brat. Aren't you afraid he'll get a stomachache?"
"I didn't give it to him to eat. He picked it himself." Jiang Changning quickly distanced himself from the matter.
"Silly boy, stop eating." Prince Jin snatched the lotus bowl from the little guy's hand.
The little guy was anxious, "Wow, Huahua, bad, poof."
He spat at his father.
Jiang Changning was stunned. "When did he learn this trick?"
"It's not easy to learn good things, but it's easy to learn bad things. This brat must be disciplined." Prince Jin held his son in his arms.
"Your Highness, he is not even two years old yet." Jiang Changning followed the father and son into the house.
"My son is very smart and he will listen to my instructions." Prince Jin said confidently.
Jiang Changning rolled her eyes silently. She still did not disturb the conversation between father and son. She still went to ask Madam Cui to fry the flower petals. Eating the flower petals raw aroused her craving for them.
