"It was at the Jiping County Duke's Mansion. Miss Lu said that the camellia flowers in the garden were in full bloom, so she took us to see the flowers. We met him on the way to the county road passing by the garden."
"What did he tell you?"
"Nothing was said, just greetings and hello." Princess Kangren blinked her eyes, "Aunt, is there any problem?"
Jiang Changning smiled, "It's no problem, Auntie just asked a question."
The two governments did not have much interaction, and the invitation from the Duke of Jiping's government was too abrupt.
Miss Lu brought people to the garden to appreciate the flowers. It turned out that Young Commander Lu just passed by the garden. It was really passing by and it was an intentional arrangement. It is worth discussing.
Princess Kangren is indeed going to meet someone, but the Duke of Jiping's Mansion wants to use marriage to trick Princess Kangren, which won't work.
However, the matter has not been investigated clearly yet. Jiang Changning does not want to draw a conclusion too early, nor does he want Princess Kang Ren to worry about it. "Are the camellias in the Duke of Jiping's mansion famous?"
"There aren't many famous ones, but there is one plant called Er Qiao, which is gorgeous in red and clean in white. It's top quality."
Flowers usually named after Erqiao are all famous varieties, the most typical of which are Erqiao peony and Erqiao camellia, which are both beautiful in shape and color, just like Daqiao and Xiaoqiao, two classical beauties.
"Miss Lu invited you over just to admire this Erqiao camellia?" Jiang Changning asked deliberately.
Princess Kangren recalled that Miss Lu had been talking about Erqiao Camellia and asked everyone to write poems and draw pictures, "Yes."
"The Duke's Mansion of Jiping County is really in decline. It doesn't even have Eighteen Scholars or No. 1 Scholar Red. How can a plant like Erqiao be worth showing off like this?"
"You don't have enough knowledge. You use the brass basket as a golden basin." Princess Kang Ren said with a smile.
"That's right." Jiang Changning said with a smile.
The aunt and nephew chatted for a while, and Jiang Changning smiled and said, "You must have been tired after going out. Let's go back to the yard and rest. We will go to the Durian Courtyard soon."
"My niece is leaving." Princess Kang Ren stood up, bowed and left.
After she left, Jiang Changning asked Xiulan to call Xiaochun in, "Investigate the Jiping County Duke's Mansion thoroughly, especially the Jiping County Duke and the Junior County Duke. Have someone keep a close eye on them."
Jiang Changning originally planned to investigate the matter thoroughly, confirm it, and then tell King Jin.
Unexpectedly, by coincidence, Prince Jin's men were also investigating Duke Jiping.
After listening to the report from his subordinates, the King of Jin came back and asked Jiang Changning directly, "Why did you think of Cha Jiping County Duke?"
Jiang Changning asked in surprise: "Are you investigating him too?"
After a pause, he asked nervously, "I didn't ruin your business, did I?"
"No, you have always been there to help me succeed." Prince Jin hugged her, "My little princess brings good luck to her husband."
"Then Your Majesty must treat me well." Jiang Changning said with a sweet smile.
"I'm thanking my little princess with my own actions."
Jiang Changning pouted, "Are you thanking me?"
"It must be." Prince Jin said seriously.
Jiang Changning did not bother with him about this issue, and explained why she investigated the Duke of Jiping. "A woman's marriage is like a second life, and this marriage must not be ambiguous."
"The Duke of Jiping is not so brave. It must be Prince Qing and Prince Yu who are instigating it behind the scenes." Prince Jin said calmly.
"They are so shameless." Jiang Changning cursed.
Even if Prince Qing and Prince Yu hire someone to assassinate Prince Jin, it's better than secretly plotting against the girl!
"They can't succeed as long as I'm here." Prince Jin stroked her back and comforted her.
Prince Jin intervened in the matter, so Jiang Changning asked Xiaochun to withdraw the people.
Two days later, I received an invitation from the Ningxia Palace. The King of Ningxia was going to marry again.
"She is the legitimate daughter of a small family in Beijing, and her surname is Zhong." Xiaochun also asked about the bride's situation.
The Ningxia King's remarriage reminded Jiang Changning of the former Ningxia Princess Song Yirou, so he asked, "How is Song Yirou? I haven't heard from her for a long time."
"Didn't I tell the princess?" Xiaochun asked in surprise.
"The Song family sent Miss Song to Jiangnan to recuperate, saying that they would bring her back to Beijing after she gave birth, treating her like a widow returning home."
Hearing this, Jiang Changning couldn't help but sigh, "The Song family really loves her."
If a girl from another family gets pregnant before marriage and fails to get married, she will most likely be forced to commit suicide.
But the Song family not only properly arranged a place for Song Yirou, but also was willing to let her give birth to the child.
"I hope she can cherish the love her family has for her and stop causing trouble," Jiang Changning said.
Don’t talk about people during the day, talking about people will harm your life.
Don't talk about ghosts at night, or they will come.
Jiang Changning had just mentioned Song Yirou when Song Yirou returned to Beijing despite the long journey with a big belly.
Coincidentally, the day she returned was the auspicious day for the King of Ningxia to marry again.
Originally, the two teams would not meet, but Song Yirou suddenly wanted to eat the dim sum from Jinzhuilou, so she asked the driver to take a detour.
The two teams met head-on. Song Yirou heard the joyful sounds, lifted the curtain and looked out. She saw the King of Ningxia riding on a tall horse, wearing a red auspicious robe.
She swung the car door open and got out of the car, "Are you getting married today?"
After Song Yirou became pregnant, she became much plumper. The King of Ningxia hadn't seen her for a long time. He didn't recognize her at first sight. After a moment of stunned silence, he recognized her and said calmly, "Yes."
"Congratulations." Song Yirou didn't like King Ningxia, but now she could face it calmly about him remarrying.
"Thank you." King Ningxia also replied politely.
The two teams passed each other and went further and further away.
The King of Ningxia brought the bride into his palace, had a wedding ceremony in the hall, and was filled with joy.
The Song family was stunned when they saw Song Yirou, and Mrs. Song blurted out, "Why are you back?"
"This is my home, why can't I come back?" Song Yirou asked back righteously.
Mrs. Song said with a distressed look on her face: "How can you be so unreliable, child? You are pregnant and have come a long way. What if something happens on the way?"
"Mom, I'm back safely, please stop scolding me." Song Yirou hugged Mrs. Song's arm and acted coquettishly.
Then he complained to his family, "The food the cook cooked was not to my liking. I had diarrhea for half a month and lost weight."
This statement was not convincing. Everyone looked at her round double chin and the corners of her mouth twitching slightly.
"When winter comes in the south, it rains all day long and is extremely cold. There is no floor heating or fire wall in the house. I can only use a charcoal pot to warm myself, but it is not warm at all. I am almost frozen to death."
"Grandma, mother, look at my hands, they are all sore." Song Yirou's white and tender left little finger was indeed more red and swollen than her other fingers.
"I don't want to be in Jiangnan anymore. I want to come back. Mom, I will be good and I promise not to cause any trouble."
"This..." Mrs. Song wanted to keep her daughter by her side so that she could take care of her personally, but she was not in charge of the family. She looked at Mrs. Song, "Mother."
Before Madam Song could speak, Song Yirou held her belly and said, “Oh, my belly.”
"Rou'er, Rou'er, what's wrong with you? Don't scare your mother. Hurry, go and get a doctor." Mrs. Song said nervously.
Madam Song just watched Song Yirou move back to her original courtyard.
My father is impotent, my husband is impotent, my younger brother is impotent, and my sister-in-law is impotent.
There were eight people in the family, and half of them were infected.
