Seeing Prince Jin accompanying Chen Yi, Jiang Changning showed no emotion at all. He turned around lightly, holding the lotus lantern and walking towards the river, as if he had not seen Prince Jin and the others.
Just as the Prince of Jin was about to chase after her, Chen Yi said, "Why is Princess Chun'an wearing men's clothes? She is so unorthodox."
"What's wrong with a woman wearing men's clothes?" Prince Jin said in a cold tone and walked away.
Chen Yi wanted to say something, but Prince Jin had already left.
Although Prince Jin was chasing fast, Jiang Changning was also walking fast, and he lost track of her again.
Fortunately, knowing that Jiang Changning had bought a river lantern and would definitely release it, he went straight to the river to look for him.
There were people coming and going on the street, and there were countless people wearing light blue clothes.
I looked around, but couldn't see the beauty.
The evening breeze is gentle, carrying with it moisture and a faint scent of fat.
The so-called beauty is on the other side of the water.
Prince Jin found Jiang Changning standing by the river, holding a lantern and making a wish.
Willow branches sway in the wind, the river surface ripples, and the person standing in the light is graceful and elegant with a graceful figure.
Jiang Changning bent down and put down the lotus lantern. He gave it a gentle push with his hand and the lotus lantern floated to the middle of the river.
"Girl, Prince Jin is over there and has been watching you for a long time." Xiulan said in a low voice.
Jiang Changning raised his eyes and saw a handsome man in moon-white brocade clothes standing with his hands behind his back, a smile on his lips and a gentle look in his eyes.
A line of poetry suddenly popped up in my mind: I raised my cup and looked up at the blue sky, as bright as a jade tree facing the wind.
He is indeed good-looking, but he is too fickle.
Jiang Changning retracted his gaze and said, "It's getting late, let's go back."
After saying this, he turned and left without hesitation.
"Jiang... County..." King Jin called out softly, but felt something was wrong.
After chasing for a few steps, Jiang Changning was blocked by the guards and had already gone far away.
"Didn't she see me?" Prince Jin seemed to be asking himself, or perhaps he was asking his entourage.
"The shadows of lights, moon and people were so numerous that they dazzled people's eyes. That's why the county princess didn't see the prince." Chang Youzhong analyzed.
King Jin hesitated for a moment, "But why do I feel like she's angry?"
angry
Does the county lord have it
Chang Youzhong said, "Your Highness, it's a big festival, the county lady is out having fun, she should be very happy, there's nothing to be angry about."
Prince Jin was not sure whether Jiang Changning had really rolled his eyes, so he had to look for him again in depression. However, he did not find anyone this time, so he had to return to the palace.
Not long after Prince Jin sat down in the study, a maid brought him sobering soup and a midnight snack.
Concubine Qiao would ask the small kitchen to prepare supper for Prince Jin every day.
"What's for supper?" Chang Youzhong asked.
The maid replied, "It's wontons in chicken soup."
"No need for sobering soup. I didn't drink any alcohol today." Chang Youzhong brought in the wontons.
King Jin waved his hand and said, "If you don't want to eat it, take it out."
It seems that the prince was quite depressed because he couldn't talk to Princess Chun'an!
Mrs. Qiao soon learned from the kitchen that Prince Jin did not drink the sobering soup or have a midnight snack.
"Is Your Majesty feeling unwell or in a bad mood?" asked Mrs. Qiao.
"My lady, I don't know." The maid replied.
"What are Chang Youzhong and Cao Jiang's expressions like?" Qiao asked.
"usual."
"Did you hear them say they were going out to see somebody tonight?"
"I have never heard of it."
Mrs. Qiao asked seven or eight questions, but didn't get the answer she wanted, so she sent the maid away in embarrassment.
Two days after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the embroiderer from the Knitting Department came with the wedding dress.
"The county lady has thought it all out." The embroiderer smiled flatteringly.
"Thank you for your hard work in changing." With the help of the maid, Jiang Changning took off his Zhai robe and put on his own clothes.
"It is a blessing for us servants to be able to make clothes for the county lady." The embroiderer said with a smile.
"The weather is hot, drink some iced juice before going back to the palace." Jiang Changning said politely.
"Thank you, County Lady, for your reward." The embroiderer knelt down.
Jiang Changning left with a smile, and her maids greeted them and stuffed their pockets.
These people in the palace may seem ordinary, but in fact, each of them is not simple and has complicated connections. Who knows which temple leader is effective, so if you can avoid offending them, do so.
Zhao Xifang also understood that it was easy to meet the King of Hell but difficult to deal with little ghosts. When the embroiderer from the Knitting Department came to take her measurements to make clothes, the Zhao family treated her well and did not dare to offend her.
After measuring the size, Zhao Xifang said casually, "I didn't expect that the wedding dress of Princess Chun'an would be made so quickly. I thought I would have to wait a little longer."
She always thought that the position of Princess Jin would be in Song Yirou's pocket.
But unexpectedly, she was snatched away by an orphan girl who appeared out of nowhere. Song Yirou had coveted her for so long, but ended up in vain. It was really a pleasure.
I thought Song Yirou would make a fuss, but she was as quiet as a chicken, which was really puzzling.
But with Song Yirou's personality, she wouldn't be like this.
When she was in the palace, she noticed the handsome Jiang Changning, but because of his ordinary family background, she did not take him seriously.
Now Jiang Changning not only became the Prince of Jin's second wife, with the same rank as her, but was also granted the title of County Lady.
Zhao Xifang smiled. She was looking forward to the confrontation between Song Yirou and the Princess of Chun'an County. It would definitely be a great show.
"The wedding dress of Princess Chun'an was not modified much, that's why it was done so quickly." The embroiderer replied with a smile.
"The work done by your craftsmanship is excellent. There is still room for improvement." Zhao Xifang said with a flattering smile.
"Thank you for the compliment, young lady." The embroiderer said with a smile.
Of course, not everyone will take these "lowly" embroiderers seriously.
When the embroiderer from the Knitting Department finished making clothes for Zhao Xifang and then went to the Song family to make wedding clothes for Song Yirou, she was neglected.
Song Yirou stood there impatiently, asking the embroiderer to measure her body, and told the maid, "Tell them my measurements and let them make them according to them."
Not to mention the reward money, not even tea and snacks were prepared. The embroiderers were dissatisfied, "She is just a princess of a county, what is there to be proud of."
"She didn't let us measure our sizes, so the wedding dress didn't fit, but it's not our fault."
"With her unreasonable temper, will she not blame us? You are really overthinking it."
"What should we do then?"
"If it doesn't fit, we can change it. If it still doesn't fit after the change, we can't do anything about it, right?"
“That’s right.”
The three embroiderers smiled at each other, and tacitly reached the decision to make an ill-fitting wedding dress for Song Yirou.
On the second day of September, Zhuang Qingyu got married.
On the afternoon of the first day of the new year, Jiang Changning brought Shufei and Fucui back to the village under the protection of Xiaochun and several female guards.
"There's no need to do that. The banker is not a dangerous place." Jiang Changning said with a smile.
"That's about the same. What if the Zhuang family takes a risk and kidnaps the girl?" Fu Cui was reluctant to go back to the Zhuang family, but she was worried about Jiang Changning.
Mrs. Zhuang was quite satisfied that Jiang Changning was willing to come again, and she said to her son privately, "She still has some conscience."
"Perhaps she has figured it out. She has to let our family arrange her marriage. As an unmarried orphan, she cannot make arrangements for it," Zhuang Shenmao analyzed.
"Don't make a fuss about this. She said it, and you should agree to her," Mrs. Zhuang advised.
"She should tell mother. We all listen to mother." Zhuang Shenmao glanced at his brother and smiled.
Old Mrs. Zhuang was very satisfied with her son's answer, and waited for Jiang Changning to come to her and beg her.
Jiang Changning said, he was not mistaken, he rolled his eyes, and he did it elegantly.
