Back at Rujing Courtyard, the maid had prepared hot water. Prince Jin pulled Jiang Changning and said, "Let's take a bath together."
"No, the weather is cold and I don't want to catch a cold and get sick." Jiang Changning flatly refused.
"When the weather gets warmer, we'll go together." Prince Jin looked at her with anticipation in his eyes.
"Just go in quickly." Jiang Changning pulled his hand out of his grasp with force.
"I took it as your agreement." Prince Jin said shamelessly.
Jiang Changning didn’t take it too seriously. By the time the weather got hot, she might have fallen out of favor.
Who knows which beauty will be enjoying a double bath with Prince Jin
After Prince Jin came out of the bath, Jiang Changning went to take a bath.
When I came out of the bathroom, I saw Prince Jin leaning on the kang reading a book.
The temperature in the warm room was high. Prince Jin's collar was half open, his jet-black hair fell loosely on his shoulders, and he exuded a seductive aura.
Jiang Changning's eyelids twitched at this. She quickly sat down with her back to him and asked Fangju to help her wipe her hair.
Her hair is like clouds, fine and dense.
One handkerchief was not enough to dry her hair. Fangju was about to change a handkerchief when Prince Jin said, "I'll do it."
Prince Jin stood up and walked over, took the handkerchief from Fangju's hand, and helped Jiang Changning wipe his hair.
Jiang Changning did not refuse. Since Prince Jin wanted to enjoy the pleasure of the boudoir, she cooperated obediently.
She was prepared to be hurt by the pulling, but Prince Jin's technique was so gentle that it didn't hurt her at all.
The corners of Jiang Changning's lips curled up in a mocking sneer. It seemed that Prince Jin and Park had also played this trick before, which was why they were so skilled at it.
The hair was half dry, and Prince Jin didn't know how to tie it up, so he could only return Fangju with regret.
Fangju used the gold ring to press the hairpin and helped Jiang Changning put her hair up.
The hair is casually tied up and not neat, showing a messy beauty.
After spending most of the day entertaining guests at the princess' residence and not taking a nap, Jiang Changning felt a little sleepy. She sat back on the kang, leaning against the pillow, her cheek supported by her bare hands, her eyes half-closed.
The lazy posture is very seductive.
Prince Jin had an idea and went up to the kang to hug her.
Jiang Changning was so shocked that he opened his eyes, "Your Majesty!"
"Ningning, you don't need to get out of bed for the next three days." Prince Jin said with a wicked smile.
The last bit of sleepiness that was left was scared away.
Jiang Changning's eyes were misty, and he pleaded, "Yong Zhou, please forgive me once!"
If she can't get out of bed for three days, she will be killed.
"I don't want to forgive." Prince Jin picked up Jiang Changning.
"Yong Zhou, it's time to have dinner." Seeing that the King of Jin was unmoved and was going to the bedroom, Jiang Changning said, "It's still daytime, it's not good to do it during the day, Yong Zhou, Yong..."
"Ningning, be good. Call me again when we get to the bed." Prince Jin walked faster.
Jiang Changning was powerless to resist and could only transform into a fish, to be eaten dry by him again.
The two of them had dinner at the first quarter of the evening.
Jiang Changning, who was tired and hungry, stared at the man opposite him with resentment, what a beast!
Fortunately, Prince Jin was not a real beast. He did not bother her again at night, which made Jiang Changning feel relieved.
In a daze, Jiang Changning noticed that the person next to him got up, and his sleepiness immediately disappeared. He opened his eyes and found that the room was very dim, with only a faint light in the corner.
"Eternal Day." Jiang Changning called softly.
The King of Jin, who was about to tiptoe out, paused and asked, "Did I wake you up? You should sleep a little longer. It's still early."
"What time is it?" Jiang Changning sat up and rubbed his eyes to make himself a little more awake.
Her childish actions made King Jin laugh, "It's not even the hour of Yin yet."
It was not yet Yin time. Jiang Changning calculated silently, which meant it was not yet four o'clock. "It's so early."
Jiang Changning lay down, hugged the quilt, and turned over.
He said there was no need to get up, so she didn't get up.
Jiang Changning fell asleep again in a daze.
At three quarters past noon, Xiulan came into the room and woke her up.
While she was dressing, Fangju reported to her, "Princess, Madam Cui brought people into the mansion yesterday and placed them in the last hall."
"If there's anything missing, let Chunlai go get it." Jiang Changning didn't want his people to be embarrassed by the Qiao family, so he simply relied on Chunlai.
"Princess, Madam Cui has cooked some wolfberry and Ophiopogon porridge. You can have a bowl of it to fill your stomach." Shu Fei came in.
Today Jiang Changning had to say good morning without the accompaniment of Prince Jin. Thinking of the expression on the Concubine Dowager's face when she said good night the day before, Xiulan was worried that the Concubine Dowager would embarrass Jiang Changning again.
Yesterday she asked Madam Cui to prepare breakfast so that Jiang Changning wouldn't have to deal with the Concubine Dowager on an empty stomach.
It was so early in the morning that Jiang Changning had no appetite, but she couldn't bear to disappoint the maids, so she drank the bowl of porridge that nourished her liver and kidneys.
After drinking the porridge, rinsing his mouth again and applying lip balm, Jiang Changning took the maids to Liuxuan Courtyard.
The concubine was old and slept little, so she had already gotten up.
"Greetings to the Concubine Dowager. Did you sleep well last night?" Jiang Changning asked respectfully.
"What time did Yong Zhou get up?" the concubine asked even though she knew the answer.
"I got up before the hour of Yin." Jiang Changning replied.
"Yong Zhou has been working so hard outside. When you return home, don't bother him and serve him well. Do you understand?" the concubine said in a deep voice.
"My daughter-in-law will serve the prince well." Jiang Changning said with his head down.
The concubine dowager scolded Jiang Changning for a few words, and then the Qiao mother and daughter came.
The Qiao mother and daughter paid their respects to the imperial concubine, and then the four of them came out to have breakfast.
After finishing breakfast quietly, Jiang Changning saw that the concubine had nothing to say, and was about to leave when Qiao spoke up, "Mother, should we let Princess Chun'an meet the people in the prince's room?"
Qiao insisted on not calling Jiang Changning the Princess of Jin, as if the Princess of Jin was her.
Who are in the room
Are they those concubines
Jiang Changning laughed. Did Qiao think that this would cause trouble for her
"It's time to meet her. There should be rules for matters in the prince's room, otherwise it would be too improper." The concubine signaled the maid to call the prince of Jin's concubine.
"The Concubine is right." Jiang Changning lowered his eyelids with a faint smile on his lips.
"Princess Chun'an, to be honest, you just came in, and they have been serving the prince for several years. You still have to ask them for advice on how to serve the prince." Qiao felt that Jiang Changning was forcing a bitter smile and continued to attack her.
"They are all old people who serve the prince, so I don't have to worry about them not being able to serve the prince well." Jiang Changning didn't care how many concubines the Prince of Jin had, but she was not happy about Qiao's slapping her in the face. "My eldest sister-in-law is really concerned about what's going on in the prince's room."
Jiang Changning's tone was calm, without a trace of emotion, but Qiao felt guilty and did not dare to speak in response.
Princess Kangren failed to notice the undercurrent beneath this calmness. "My mother is in charge of the affairs of the Prince of Jin's Mansion, so she must be concerned."
"Sister-in-law, it's really hard for you to manage the Prince Jin's Mansion. Why not find someone to share the burden with you?" Jiang Changning still said in that calm tone.
Qiao couldn't respond to this. If she did, Jiang Changning would take advantage of her and she would have no choice but to share the power. She pretended not to hear it and drank the cup of tea.
Jiang Changning smiled, but did not press on to seize the position of housekeeper.
The situation in the mansion is still unclear, so she is not in a hurry. It would be more fun to wait for all the monsters to emerge and cause some trouble before seizing power.
Note: King Jin said aggrievedly: I have never wiped anyone else’s hair.
Jiang Changning sneered: I don’t believe it.
King Jin held his heart and said: What do you want me to believe
Jiang Changning was cold and heartless: I don’t believe it no matter what.
The King of Jin looked up at the sky in silence.
