Empress, she doesn't want to fight

Chapter 134

"I have met the empress dowager myself." Jiang Man entered the inner room and slowly saluted the empress dowager.

The second prince who was held by Jiang Man saw Jiang Man's actions, followed Jiang Man's example and saluted, and said vaguely: "...See... Your Majesty."

The Queen Mother laughed and asked someone to help Jiang Man up, and went to help the Second Prince up, pulled her into her arms and hugged her: "Ouch, little boy of the Ai family, why are you so smart?"

The Empress Dowager liked the Second Prince already, but just now she heard the news that the Eldest Princess was pregnant, and now seeing the clever Second Prince, she loved her even more.

The second prince leaned against the empress dowager's arms and smiled.

Jiang Man looked at this scene with a smile, and said: "I heard that the eldest princess is pregnant, I will congratulate the queen mother here first, and you will become a great-grandmother."

The queen mother laughed when she heard the words, "Xiwan has always been looking forward to having a cute and smart child like the second prince, and now she finally got her wish."

Jiang Man smiled and said, "The princess's child must be smart and cute."

Jiang Man accompanied the Queen Mother to talk for a while in the palace, and left the second prince to accompany the Queen Mother in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, then left.

Back in Yunhua Palace, Jiang Man asked people to prepare a lot of medicinal materials and the small clothes that the Second Prince had worn before and sent them to the Princess' Mansion.

The eldest princess’ son-in-law came to the palace to announce the good news. Of course, it is impossible to only go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning. In the Princess Mansion, after seeing the emperor's actions, the public's concubines immediately sent congratulatory gifts to the eldest princess.

It's just that among so many people's gifts, only Jiang Man prepared the most carefully.

The eldest princess received the congratulatory gift from a concubine in the harem, took a light look, and asked the maids around her to put everything into storage, but she liked the little clothes worn by the second prince sent by Jiang Man very much. After looking at it again and again, he personally took a piece of the little clothes worn by the second prince and put it under his pillow.

There are folk rumors that if a boy's clothes are placed on the bedside of a pregnant woman, it will also attract boys.

The eldest princess doesn't mind having a boy or a girl, but she really likes the second prince, and she feels that if the second prince's clothes are placed on her bedside, the possibility of her having a child as smart as the second prince will be even greater. bigger.

"Ms. Zhaoyuan really has a heart." The eldest princess couldn't put it down to the little clothes worn by the second prince, but the nanny beside the eldest princess was very happy with a 300-year-old ginseng sent by Jiang Man. Although there is no shortage of ginseng, but after ginseng has been used for a hundred years, the value of ginseng almost doubles every ten years, like a 300-year-old ginseng, it is rare to see one in the palace.

Such an old ginseng is a life-threatening thing when a woman gives birth. Jiang Zhaoyuan is willing to send such a good thing to the eldest princess, which shows how much Jiang Zhaoyuan values ​​the eldest princess.

The eldest princess glanced at the 300-year-old ginseng in the hands of the nanny, and nodded, "Jiang Zhaoyuan is so caring, this princess will naturally remember her kindness."

In the past, she was able to get along with Jiang Zhaoyuan mostly because of the second prince's face, but after this time, she really felt a little bit of affection and gratitude for Jiang Zhaoyuan in her heart.

The news that the eldest princess was pregnant came within two days before the second princess got married.

The marriage of a princess is naturally not the same as that of ordinary people marrying their daughters. All matters are handled by the Ministry of Rites and the Clan Mansion. The Ministry of Rites and the Clan Mansion are also responsible for the dowry of the second princess. Although the dowry won't make her fall into the prestige of a princess, it can't compare with the dowry of the eldest princess when she got married.

When the eldest princess got married, not only was the dowry generous as the first princess, the queen mother also made up a lot of good things, and the emperor also took a lot of good things from the private treasury to add to the dowry for the eldest princess.

Both the second princess and Feng Zhaoyi knew that the eldest princess was the daughter of Empress Zhou, so the queen mother treated her differently, and they naturally didn't dare to expect the queen mother to be so kind to the second princess, but they felt that she was also the daughter of Emperor Yong'an, and Emperor Yong'an would not One should treat the other more favorably, but until the day before the second princess got married, Emperor Yong'an did not see the second princess, nor did he mention the matter of adding anything to the second princess's dowry.

All the concubines in the palace sent make-up to the second princess, but this could not appease the dissatisfaction in the hearts of Feng Zhaoyi and the second princess.

It's just that Feng Zhaoyi and the second princess were dissatisfied with the way Meng Jieyu died in front of them before, but they didn't dare to show it.

On the day of the second princess's wedding, Emperor Yong'an actually met the second princess.

Looking at the second princess in a wedding dress standing in front of him, Emperor Yong'an sighed and said, "Since you chose the person yourself, just marry and live a good life. I hope you won't regret today's choice in the future."

The second princess looked at Emperor Yong'an's expression and didn't know why, and suddenly there was a sour feeling in her heart, "Father Emperor..."

Soon, the auspicious time came, and the second princess left the palace where she grew up in a luxurious wedding dress.

The second princess was married on the sixth day of August, and the envoy of Dongli Kingdom arrived in the capital on the evening of the ninth day of August.

On the night of the tenth day of August, Emperor Yong'an arranged a banquet in the palace to welcome the envoys of Dongli Kingdom.

Not long after the banquet started, the envoys of the Dongli Kingdom stood up and toasted Emperor Yong'an: "Our Dongli Kingdom came here to see the great scenery, and secondly, to send a gift to His Majesty the Emperor. Offer a gift, and wish to form a friendly state with Dajing, and not invade each other within a hundred years."

As soon as the envoys of the Dongli Kingdom finished speaking, there was an uproar at the banquet. The two countries established diplomatic relations and would not invade each other for a hundred years. This is really the best thing for the current Jing Dynasty.

However, Emperor Yong'an was not as happy as the other ministers. A dark light flashed in his eyes, he gently turned the empty wine glass in his hand, and said: "The envoy said this, but I am very curious about the gift prepared by your country."

"Haha, don't worry, Your Majesty the Emperor Dajing, you will be satisfied with our gift." After the envoy clapped his hands, a group of dancing girls in dance costumes came out, the leading lady wearing a thin With a layer of veil, although she couldn't see her face clearly, her every move and gesture was full of charm.

As soon as she appeared, she immediately attracted the attention of most men present.

The envoy of Dongli Kingdom seemed to be very satisfied with the effect. He went to see Emperor Yong'an complacently, but he saw that the obsession in Emperor Yong'an's eyes was not as he imagined.

Although the envoys of the Dongli Kingdom were disappointed, they were also confident that no one in Emperor Yong'an could resist the charm of their bright pearl.
