Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Chapter 220 Marriage
Qingmei and Wenhai were quickly found. Qingmei was sixteen or seventeen years old, with a handsome appearance and a tall stature.

Wen Hai is not good-looking, old-fashioned, in his early twenties, looks like he is 30 years old, and his back is a little hunched. Standing with Qingmei, they look about the same height.

Judging by the appearance of the two, they are not a good match.

Jiang Changan glanced at Chen Yi, "Qingmei."

"The servant is here." Qing Mei bent her knees.

"Although you are Mrs. Chen's dowry maid, once you enter the palace, you are the maid of the palace." Jiang Changning couldn't bear Qingmei being so abused by Chen Yi, and reminded her.

Qingmei bit the corner of her lower lip, "Thank you, Princess."

Jiang Changning heard what she meant and knew what she meant.

Good words are hard to persuade a person who wants to die, so he asked calmly: "Madam Chen said that you are old and wants to marry you to Wen Hai, are you willing?"

Qingmei lowered her head and said: "Your maidservant listens to Madam."

Jiang Changning knew about this marriage, and Qingmei was not happy, but if she didn't say anything, Jiang Changning would not force her to make decisions, "Wen Hai, would you like to marry Qingmei?"

"If you go back to the princess, the younger one is willing to marry, and the younger one will treat Qingmei well in the future." Wen Hai said immediately.

Jiang Changning smiled, "Since the husband is affectionate and the concubine is interested, let's choose a date to get married."

"Thank you, Princess." Wen Hai was full of joy.

Qingmei lowered her head and said nothing.

"Fangju, go to the cashier and pay eight taels of silver to Mrs. Chen." Jiang Changning looked at Chen Yi, "Mr. Chen, I will entrust this matter to you, go down."

"Yes, Princess." Chen Yi didn't want to push this matter to others.

After dismissing the three of them, Jiang Changning leaned back on the lead pillow, "To achieve the goal, we will use all means and skills."

Chen Yi only has two dowry maids, and now she has given up one, and when will the other one be given up?
"Princess, the slaves will be watched to death." Xiulan whispered.

"Okay." Jiang Changning was quite curious about what kind of trick Chen Yi would come up with to climb onto King Jin's bed in such a devious way.

Of course, now that King Jin is not in the mansion, Chen Yi has been making arrangements. Jiang Changning is only being stared at, not obstructing her, wanting to see how far she can go.

Just when the undercurrent was surging in Prince Jin's mansion, King Jin arrived in Shandong.

In the territory of Shandong, there was a severe drought for several days, mourners were everywhere, and people died of hunger everywhere.

There was a skinny man on the side of the road, who was struggling to move forward, and fell to the ground after not walking very far.

"Save people." King Jin ordered.

The follower went over, turned the person over, breathed out, "My lord, this person is out of breath."

Judging from its shape, it should be starved to death.

King Jin frowned, how could the disaster be so serious?

Although there have been various disasters in recent years, there are granaries in Shandong, and there have been droughts for a few years, only dozens of days, so the disasters will not reach this level.

It seems that this trip, he not only wants to provide disaster relief, but also to investigate corrupt officials.

"Chang Youzhong, order fifty guards, and bring one hundred catties of grain into the city." King Jin ordered.

In this way, King Jin distributed some food along the road to save people. Although it was a drop in the bucket, it could save a few lives anyway.

Ten days later, he arrived in Jinan Prefecture. Officials, big and small, had heard the news and went to the gate of the city to greet him.

King Jin glanced at the officials and asked them to report their names and official positions.

The prefect of Jinan said with a smile: "My lord, I have prepared a welcome banquet at the restaurant in the city."

King Jin followed them into the city, went to the restaurant, looked at the table full of dishes, "The disaster is serious, how can you be so extravagant and wasteful?"

All the officials hurriedly pleaded guilty, and the prefect of Jinan explained: "My lord was tired from traveling all the way, and the next official ordered someone to prepare a table of dishes. Everything will be kept simple in the future. Please forgive me."

King Jin smiled and said: "It's better to keep everything simple, and I don't want to talk nonsense. I just hope that everyone will unite as one this time so that the people can tide over the difficulties safely."

All the officials responded quickly.

After Jin Wang had eaten, he went to the post station. Later, he summoned these officials one by one to inquire about various matters.

There has been no rain for dozens of days, and the fields are dry and dusty. Not to mention the seedlings, there is not even a single weed. Birds and pond fish have died due to the drought and extreme heat.

Judging by the situation, we know that there will be no harvest this year.

King Jin was busy with disaster relief, but he didn't forget to write a letter to Jiang Changning.

When Jiang Changning received the letter, he was talking with Zhou's sister-in-law.

Zhou's sister-in-law sent it, a box of children's clothes sewn by herself.

"I have only one baby in my stomach, and the two sister-in-laws come here to make so many clothes, he has to change five sets a day." Jiang Changning laughed.

"Wangfei's belly is either a little prince or a little princess. Let alone changing five sets a day, it's okay to change fifty sets a day." Luo Shi said seriously.

Jiang Changning thought that in this time and space, there is no convenient diapers. Children wear diapers, and babies who are one or two months old are not easy to urinate.

The child will definitely wet his clothes and pants, and he may really have to change five sets of clothes a day.

"Thank you two sisters-in-law." Jiang Changning picked up a colorful blouse, "Is this Baijiayi?"

"Children who wear hundreds of clothes can be blessed by hundreds of families, less sick and less disasters, and easy to grow into adults." Miao said with a smile.

"The two sisters-in-law are interested." Jiang Changning said sincerely.

"It should." The sister-in-law laughed.

The three were chatting, and Shu Fei came in, "Princess, Mrs. Zhuang of the Ningxia Palace gave birth, and the mother and child are safe."

Jiang Changning hooked his fingers and counted the time, "It's not even October yet, why did you give birth?"

"It's about time. It's normal to give birth ten days earlier and ten days later." Miao said with a smile.

Jiang Changning also knew that with such equipment in modern times, the expected date of delivery is not yet accurate, let alone now, "Let Xiulan prepare gifts as usual, and send them to the Ningxia Palace at three o'clock."

It's just that the Prince Jin's Mansion prepared the gifts, but the Ningxia Palace did not hold three banquets. It is said that Princess Ningxia stayed at the Song family and refused to return to the Palace to preside over the overall situation.

The Ningxia Palace doesn't pay attention to it, and it is only natural that the Ningxia Princess is angry if the concubine is born first.

Immediately afterwards, there was news that Princess Ningxia wanted to reconcile.

People outside who didn't know the inside story talked about this and sighed: "Mr. Song is too angry."

The eldest son of the concubine is indeed the source of the chaos in the family, but it has also reached the point of disharmony.

The king of Ningxia was happy to see the reconciliation and separation. He couldn't tell about Song Yirou's refusal to consummate the marriage with him.

At this moment, a bad news came from the palace. The eldest prince suddenly fell ill and fell into a coma.

The emperor is inhumane now, he only has two sons and three daughters, and he cannot afford to lose any one of them.

The imperial doctors in the imperial hospital were almost driven crazy by the emperor, "Your Majesty, the eldest prince can't swallow this medicine, and he can't feed it."

"Think of it, you give me an idea, you must let the eldest prince drink the medicine." The emperor was furious, "If you can't save the eldest prince, you don't have to."

"Your Majesty, I thought acupuncture would revive the eldest prince, and then I would feed the decoction." An imperial doctor boldly suggested that a dead horse should be treated as a living horse doctor.

The emperor pondered for a moment, "You give the needle."

"Yes, Your Majesty."
