After coming out of the secret room, King Jin ordered his men, "Don't torture them anymore. Cut their tendons in their hands and feet, and then let the doctors heal their wounds and save them for future use."
After coming out of the Huaibei Prince's Mansion, Prince Jin went around to Qianmen Street to buy coconut-shredded Nyonya cake.
Yesterday Jiang Changning told the maid that he wanted to eat it and asked the maid to buy it.
When he heard this, he decided not to ask the maid to buy it, and he went to buy it himself.
Although the name of Coconut Nyonya Cake sounds strange, it looks very good, with green and white colors, which is very pleasing.
The taste is also quite good, not sweet, with a strong coconut flavor, soft and refreshing.
This pastry pleased the little princess, and the Prince of Jin, who had been a vegetarian for several days, was able to eat meat in the evening.
Tossed by the waves, the couple sleeps in harmony, neck to neck.
On the first day of the winter month, the imperial physician came into the mansion to check the pulse of the female family members.
Jiang Changning's period had just ended, so naturally there was no good news.
The concubine was a little disappointed, but the marriage was not long, so she didn't say much.
Qiao asked, "Mother, do you remember when the village head sent the New Year gifts to the mansion last year, he said that although the seeds were good, the fields were too poor and there would not be much harvest."
The concubine frowned, and Jiang Changning smiled, "Even if the harvest from poor fields is poor, there is still a harvest. No one would plant crops in the barren mountains and wilderness, let alone harvest."
Qiao's face was as gloomy as water, and she stared at Jiang Changning fiercely.
Jiang Changning looked indifferent, stared at her, and refused to give in.
After a moment of silence, Mrs. Qiao said, "The fertility temple outside the city is quite effective. The county lady can go and pray. Maybe she will get pregnant soon."
This didn't sound like a big deal, but given Qiao's character, there must be something behind this. Jiang Changning didn't even think twice and said, "Since you know that the temple is efficacious, why didn't you go and pray for it back then? If you can give birth to another grandson, mother will definitely be happy."
Qiao's expression froze, she pursed her lips and said nothing, while Jiang Changning smiled and drank the cup of tea.
In the evening, Prince Jin returned home. The Concubine Dowager asked him to take a rest and accompany Jiang Changning to the Temple of the Goddess of Childbirth outside the city to pay homage.
Prince Jin promised everything in front of the Queen Mother, but when he returned to Rujingyuan, he changed his words.
"There's no rush about having a child. You're still young. Let's wait until you've recovered." Prince Jin said.
Jiang Changning was a little surprised, but since Prince Jin took the initiative to postpone having children, did that mean she didn't have to take birth control pills secretly
"But what about mother?" Jiang Changning asked deliberately.
"I'll take care of mother's matter, don't worry." Prince Jin said with a smile.
Jiang Changning smiled, "I'll listen to you."
"So good." Prince Jin touched her head with satisfaction.
Two days later, Prince Jin brought back a middle-aged zither player.
The middle-aged zither player was named Yao. He worked at the Music Bureau and had superb skills.
Prince Jin spent a large sum of money to invite him to teach Princess Kang Ren.
Seeing that Prince Jin had found the zither player so quickly, Mrs. Qiao said happily, "Kang Ren, why don't you thank your uncle quickly."
Princess Kangren bowed to the Prince of Jin as instructed, "Thank you, uncle."
"Study the piano well from Master Yao in the future." Prince Jin said with a smile.
"Kang Ren, don't let your uncle down." Qiao secretly decided to let Princess Kang Ren practice the piano for half an hour longer in the future.
"I will study the piano seriously." Princess Kang Ren said.
On the tenth day of this month, King Ningxia married Song Yirou.
Jiang Changning and Princess Kang Ren accompanied the Concubine Dowager and Prince Jin to the Ningxia Palace to attend the wedding banquet and watch the ceremony.
The King of Ningxia was still the King of Ning three years ago. After the King of Ning died, the Crown Prince succeeded to the throne.
The crown prince was mediocre and had no achievements, so according to the law, his rank was downgraded from a one-character prince to a two-character duke.
At first, everything was no different from the wedding of Prince Jin, and Prince Ningxia also went to the Song family in person to marry Song Yirou.
At three quarters past the hour of Shen, the sound of firecrackers and joyous music outside the Ningxia Palace resounded through the sky.
The King of Ningxia, dressed in a bright red suit, dismounted from his horse, took the red silk handed over by the matchmaker with a smile, and looked at the sedan chair with deep affection.
"Please let the bride get out of the sedan chair!" the master of ceremonies shouted:
There were four matchmakers, two of them lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and the other two reached out to support the bride.
The bride should have stretched out her hand at this time, but the person in the sedan did not move.
When the matchmaker looked inside, everyone was shocked.
The bride was wearing a loose red wedding dress, her eyes closed, leaning against the sedan chair, the round fan in her hand tilted.
She didn't move, and seemed not to hear the noise outside.
The curtain of the sedan chair has been opened, but the bride is reluctant to get out.
Prince Ningxia's face darkened slightly. He had heard that Song Yirou was concerned about Prince Jin.
But the Queen Mother had arranged the marriage, the Song family had accepted the order, and Song Yirou had also gotten into the sedan chair. At this time, when the sedan chair arrived at the door, why was she acting like a spoiled brat
"What's going on?" The guests who were watching the excitement at the door asked in confusion.
"Why hasn't the bride gotten out of the sedan yet?"
"What happened?"
The maidservants among the guests ran quickly to the wedding hall to report to the Ningxia Queen Mother.
The female relatives watching the ceremony in the wedding hall were unaware of what was happening outside the door and were chatting and laughing.
The maidservant did not dare and could not report loudly, so she quietly walked to the Ningxia Queen Mother and whispered in her ear.
Jiang Changning, who had been keeping an eye on the Ningxia Queen Mother, curled up the corners of his lips when he saw this scene.
Suddenly, an idea came to Jiang Changning, and he looked at Princess Zhao Xifang of Prince Yu and saw a smile in her eyes.
After a little thought, I realized that she might have also taken action.
At the door, the furious King Ningxia called out in a deep voice: "Zhang Yi, go and see what's going on?"
Zhang Yi worked beside him and was very cautious in his work. When he heard the order, he hurried forward to inquire about the situation.
Seeing the unresponsive bride in the sedan, Zhang Yi was also stunned, "What...what's going on?"
"There was nothing wrong when the servants helped the bride into the sedan chair." The matchmaker hesitantly gave a relatively reasonable explanation, "I'm afraid the bride got up early and was tired from the journey, so she fell asleep."
It was really outrageous that the bride fell asleep in the sedan chair.
But such an outrageous thing happened.
Zhang Yi didn't know what to say, so he whispered, "Wake up the bride quickly, don't miss the auspicious time."
The matchmaker looked embarrassed. The sounds of firecrackers, joy and noise could not wake up the bride. Could they wake her up
"Bride, wake up, wake up." The matchmaker gritted her teeth and pushed Song Yirou.
Song Yirou was sleeping very deeply and could not be woken up at all, but the auspicious time could not be missed.
The King of Ningxia was furious, but he still had some sanity left to stop him from sending the bridal sedan back to the Song family.
"You help her out." King Ningxia said coldly.
The unconscious Song Yirou was supported by two maids and followed King Ningxia into the wedding hall.
In the wedding hall, the guests watching the ceremony couldn't help but whisper when they saw such a bride.
Jiang Changning narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled gently, using his own method to fight back, and the effect was quite good.
The Ningxia Queen Mother's face turned pale and she glared at the bride who was helped in.
First bow to heaven and earth, second bow to parents, husband and wife bow to each other, and then enter the bridal chamber.
When the Prince of Ningxia took Song Yirou to the bridal chamber, the furious Ningxia Princess Dowager could no longer bear it, so she stormed out, leaving all the guests in the wedding hall.
