Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Chapter 210 Spices
King Jin rested at home for two days, then went back to the yamen to revise books.

Jiang Changning's life is still the same, eating and sleeping, doing pregnancy exercises, taking walks, carefree and at ease.

On this day, Chen Yi came over suddenly to say hello, and said: "I don't really like the incense that the house distributes to me, I want to go to the incense shop to buy the kind of incense that I use in my boudoir."

"If I remember correctly, Mrs. Chen has been here for more than a year. The incense in the house has always been those three types, and I haven't changed it. Why don't you like to use it all of a sudden?"

"My concubine, I didn't dare to say anything about my concubine's identity before. I was afraid that my concubine would think that my concubine was too busy. Now that I have been with her for more than a year, I know that my concubine is the most generous person, so I boldly raised this matter with her."

Jiang Changning chuckled, "You don't have to use words to compliment me. It's a rule that concubines are not allowed to go out. I won't break this exception for you."

"Princess, can someone help me buy some spices? I have learned how to make incense, so I can make it myself." Chen Yi's real purpose is this, and she clearly knows that Jiang Changning will not let her go out.

"No wonder you asked someone to help you buy spices." Jiang Changning smiled lightly.

At first, Chen Yi didn't want to alarm Jiang Changning, so she asked someone to buy spices for her in private.

She felt that Jiang Changning was pregnant, such a trivial matter, the people below should not report it.

But after hearing Jiang Changning's words, she realized that the people who bought them not only refused to help her buy them, but even reported the matter to the public.

Chen Yi knelt down and said: "The princess is pregnant, such a trivial matter, I don't want to disturb the princess, so I will find the buyer, let them help buy some spices back, not to deceive the princess on purpose."

"They didn't buy it for you, but you still came to disturb me. It seems that this incense is very important to you." Jiang Changning picked up his glass and took a sip of the apple juice.

"I have nothing to do all day long, so I just want to get back to my boudoir affairs." Chen Yi said.

Jiang Changning pondered for a moment, "Okay, I will ask someone to buy spices for you, and the cost will be deducted from your monthly money."

Chen Yi was so persistent in buying spices, Jiang Changning was curious about what kind of incense she was going to make, so he decided to help her.

"Thank you, Princess." A look of joy flashed across Chen Yi's face, she didn't expect Jiang Changning to agree to her.

"You need those spices, please make a list for me." Jiang Changning said.

"Thank you, Princess, I'm sorry, Princess." Chen Yi took out the written list.

Shu Cui stepped forward to take the form, but did not forward it to Jiang Changning immediately.

"Is there anything else Mrs. Chen can do?" Jiang Changning asked with a smile.

"The concubine resigns." Chen Yi saluted and withdrew.

"Princess, I don't know what kind of fragrance Mrs. Chen has dyed on this list, it smells so bad." Shu Cui's statement was a bit exaggerated.

There is a fragrance on the note, but it is very weak, and you can only smell it when you put it on the tip of your nose.

Jiang Changning knew her worries, and said with a smile: "I don't bother to look, you read and I listen."

Shu Cui smiled and said, "Okay."

She unfolded the list and began to read: "Xiangsha seven coins, mother lilac nine coins, wood incense nine coins..."

"There are quite a lot of spices. What kind of fragrance is she planning to mix?" Jiang Changning leaned on the pillow, resting his chin with one hand, thoughtful.

"Princess, do you really want to help her buy these spices?" Xiulan frowned, "This servant feels that she has something wrong in her heart."

"I know, that's why I bought spices for her. I can deal with her when she makes a mistake."

Xiulan frowned even tighter, "Princess, you are pregnant now, so you can't put yourself in danger."

If hitting the rat hurts the jade bottle, then it's better not to hit it, and it's not too late to lure the rat away.

"Don't worry, I won't risk my body. You have someone stare at her. Once she makes a move, hold her down."

"The servant knows."

It took five days for the buyer to prepare all the spices and utensils for making incense that Chen Yi wanted.

After Xiulan checked it herself, she asked her mother-in-law to send it to Chen Yi, "Be careful, don't spill it."

After getting the things, Chen Yi retreated from the maid and prepared them alone in the room.

It was near the Dragon Boat Festival, and the fragrance of rice dumplings was wafting inside and outside the house.

Jiang Changning smelled the aroma of rice dumplings, and his appetite increased greatly. After eating three meat dumplings, he still wanted to eat.

Nanny Feng stopped her from eating, "Princess, although glutinous rice is warm in nature and nourishes Qi and warms the stomach, if you eat too much, it will become ineffective."

"Okay, I won't eat." Jiang Changning glanced at the rice dumplings in the sea bowl reluctantly, "Take them away, don't tempt me by putting them in front of me."

Xiulan smiled, "Princess, walk around, let's eat another one after eating."

Jiang Changning, who was lazy and didn't want to move, went for a walk in the yard for the rice dumplings.

After walking for a while, Shu Cui came over and said, "Princess, Mrs. Chen is here."

Fang Ju, who was walking with Jiang Changning, frowned, "Why is she here again?"

"Let's go, let's go see if she's here." Jiang Changning turned around slowly.

Entering the small hall, Chen Yi stood up, waited for Jiang Changning to sit down, and saluted: "I have met the princess, please greet the princess."

"Mrs. Chen, don't be too polite, just sit down and talk." Jiang Changning said with a faint smile.

Banqin came in with tea, and stood beside Jiang Changning, without leaving.

Chen Yi glanced at her. The princess was really well protected. Fortunately, she never thought of rough fights.

"Princess, tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival. I made a sachet for the princess." Chen Yi took out a scarlet sachet embroidered with the pattern of five blessings holding a baby.

Jiang Changning smiled, "Mrs. Chen has a heart."

Without saying anything else, he accepted the sachet.

After Chen Yi left, Fu Cui went to carry the sachet. The posture was like carrying a dynamite bag, which amused Jiang Changning, "The incense in the sachet will be fine."

Even though Chen Yi planned to use incense to harm people at the beginning, but after the spices she entrusted to buy in private failed, after the matter was brought to light, Chen Yi dared not, and would not use incense to harm people.

The most important thing is that Jiang Changning also knows how to make incense. The spices that Chen Yi bought are all non-toxic spices. Unless Chen Yi knows the secret recipe that she does not know, the incense will not harm her.

"It's better to be careful." Xiulan said cautiously.

The maid took the sachet to the room in the west corner of the courtyard, and asked Nanny Feng to open the sachet and pour out the spices so that Nanny Feng could identify it.

The spices are all ground into powder and blended together. It is not only easy to identify them.

Mother Feng looked at it for a long time, "Smell the fragrance, there should be Huoxiang in it."

Others, she really couldn't tell the difference.

"Is it harmful to pregnant women?" Xiulan was most concerned about this.

"Harmless." Nanny Feng replied.

Huoxiang not only wards off filth and dampness, but also has curative effects on chest and abdominal fullness, vomiting, etc.

But besides Huoxiang, Mother Feng was not sure what else was in it, "The princess is pregnant, so it's better not to use this incense."

"What mother said is true." Xiulan asked Fangju to put away the sachet.

After Jiang Changning became pregnant, he never brought a sachet or used incense.

It was even more impossible for her to take the sachet from Chen Yi, and she didn't even ask where the sachet was going.

　I'm going back to my in-law's house to attend my nephew's wedding!
