Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Chapter 266
When Jiang Changning and Zeng Zhaofu rushed outside the room where Zheng Mingzhu was housed, they heard Princess Yi Ya loudly questioning Princess Runan, "Why did my Mingzhu fall into the water?"

When Princess Runan heard the news that Zheng Mingzhu had fallen into the water, she also secretly complained. In this cold winter, the water in the pool is icy cold, and if people fall into the water, even if they are rescued immediately, they will not be able to bear it!

"I asked Huizhu, the county lord wanted to get closer to look at the ice lotus in the pond, and accidentally fell." Runan Wang Taifei explained.

"You mean that my pearl fell into the water, and she deserved it?" Eldest Princess Yi Ya said sharply.

The fact is true, but Princess Runan could not answer this way, "It's because the servants didn't take good care of the county lord."

Zheng Mingzhu was followed by the maidservant of the Zheng family. It was her fault that she did not take good care of the master, and the Runan Palace could not be blamed.

"Is this the explanation given to me by the Runan Palace?" Princess Yi Ya asked angrily.

"Sister Yi Ya, I just want to make things clear. You came as a guest, and you didn't entertain well, and let the county magistrate fall into the water. I apologize to you, and the money for the consultation and medicine will be paid by the Runan Prince's Mansion," said the Runan Prince Dowager. .

"The Zheng family doesn't lack your money for consultation and medicine." Eldest Princess Yi Ya said displeasedly.

Someone nearby smoothed things over, "It's not that the Zheng family is short of money, but the county lord happened in the Runan palace after all, and the consultation fee and medicine money are paid by the palace."

A bunch of people and mud, plus Zheng Mingzhu just fell into the water and didn't die, Princess Yiya didn't want to offend the Runan Palace to death.

This matter was settled with the Runan Palace paying a large sum of money for consultation and medicine, and also sent a generous gift.

Because of Zheng Mingzhu's falling into the water at the banquet in Runan Palace, the guests and hosts could not get away happily.

"Princess Yi Ya is really unreasonable. Obviously Zheng Mingzhu didn't listen to persuasion and insisted on stepping on the stone pier." Princess Huizhu said angrily.

"It's lucky that the matter can be resolved in this way." Princess Runan said with a worried expression on her face.

"Ten thousand taels of silver were given to the Zheng family as an apology, what else does Princess Yiya want?" Princess Huizhu said angrily.

She has been housekeeping with her mother and concubine for the past few years. Knowing that the mansion now has less income and more expenses, the 1 taels of silver that was paid out today was taken from her dowry. How could she not be angry?

She was really worried that when her fiancé came to marry her, she would not be able to provide a generous dowry.

"In such a cold weather, when Zheng Mingzhu fished out of the pool, her whole body was drenched. She was cold and frightened. She was afraid that she would get sick. Then, she might still be in trouble."

"She deserves to be sick." Princess Huizhu hated the willful Zheng Mingzhu to death.

"She deserves it, but she happened in our mansion and involved our mansion." Princess Runan frowned.

"What a troublemaker." Princess Huizhu pouted, "If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have invited her."

"Now I can only ask the Bodhisattva to bless her so that she will not get sick." Princess Runan put her hands together and said.

It's a pity that I prayed to the Bodhisattva temporarily, but the Bodhisattva did not appear, and Zheng Mingzhu had a high fever when she returned home.

Princess Yiya loves her daughter very much, and she doesn't care about the custom of inviting a doctor during the Chinese New Year, so she invites the imperial doctor into the mansion with a post.

The imperial doctor checked Zheng Mingzhu's pulse, "Princess, the county magistrate was soaked in ice water. Although he was rescued in time, the wind and cold still entered his body."

"Okay, hurry up and write a prescription." Princess Yi Ya interrupted him.

An hour later, Zheng Mingzhu took the medicine, but the high fever still persisted.

Now it's not just Princess Yi Ya and Concubine Zheng who are in a hurry, the imperial doctor is panicked, "If the county lord's enthusiasm doesn't subside, it will be dangerous."

It is very likely that he will be burned into a fool, and the imperial physician did not dare to say this clearly.

When the Zheng family was in a panic, Princess Wenhe's mansion was full of cries, and Princess Wenhe drove west to the west of the river. He died at the age of 77, a very long life in this age.

The princess's mansion was hung white, and Wen and the son of the princess arranged for people to go to the various mansions to report the funeral, while he changed into plain clothes and went into the palace.

I hope that the palace can give Princess Wenhe some honor after death.

On the second day after receiving news of Princess Wenhe's death, on the sixth day of the first lunar month, the concubine changed her clothes and took King Jin, Jiang Changning, and Princess Kang Ren to Princess Wenhe's mansion.

Princess Wenhe was old and senior, and the concubine had to go to express her condolences in person.

In the mourning hall, Jiang Changning saw Zhao Xifang, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, and his face was haggard, and said politely, "My condolences are by the way."

"Thank you." Zhao Xifang lowered her eyelids and said.

The weather was so cold that many elderly people couldn't stand it. On the night of the seventh day of the lunar new year, Xie Baoyin's grandmother, Mrs. Xie, also passed away.

Xie Baoyin was very sad, but Mrs. Xie was secretly happy. Without that old woman telling the truth, she had the final say in this back house.

The dead are the most important, even though Jin Wangfu has no contact with Xie's family, but Jin Wang and General Xie are officials in the same dynasty after all.

In the mourning hall, seeing Xie Baoyin, Jiang Changning also said, "My condolences by the way."

"Sister Ning, I don't have a grandmother anymore." Xie Baoyin burst into tears.

Also losing her grandmother, Xie Baoyin's grief is much heavier than Zhao Xifang's.

After hearing her words, Jiang Changning didn't know how to comfort her. After thinking about it, he said in words: "I heard people say that after death, people will become stars in the sky, protecting people on the ground. When you think of your grandmother in the future, just look up." Look at the sky and look for your grandmother star."

"Grandmother must be the brightest star in the sky." Xie Baoyin said with a choked voice.

"Don't be sad, live a good life, your grandmother will be at ease watching from the sky." Jiang Changning said softly.

"Sister Ning, thank you." Xie Baoyin said gratefully, she thought that Jiang Changning would not talk to her.

"You're welcome, take care and leave." Jiang Changning didn't stay long, and left with King Jin.

They changed their outer clothes on the carriage, and they had to go to Ningxia Palace for a banquet later.

During the Chinese New Year, there were banquets in each mansion one after another, and Jiang Changning was so annoyed that he changed his clothes and said, "I will also hold a banquet tomorrow, and let these people come to our mansion in a carriage."

Although the various mansions are not far away, Jiang Changning felt that it was necessary to make a fuss and let them come to Jin Wang's mansion since he went to the banquet years ago to the end of the year.

King Jin smiled, and reached out to help her take off the silver earring, "Let the people below prepare it when we go back. How about a lantern festival on the Lantern Festival?"

"I'll just say that, there are a lot of things to do at the banquet, and the concubine likes to be quiet, so let's forget it." Jiang Changning took the silver earring, put it in the jewelry box, and took out another jewelry box.

Inside the jewelry box is a pair of gilt-dotted emerald cloud flower earrings, which match the blue embroidered palace dress Jiang Changning is wearing today, elegant and extravagant.

"I'll help you wear it." King Jin took the earrings and carefully inserted the gold hooks through her earholes.

"Thank you, my lord." Jiang Changning smiled and bent his eyebrows.

"I said, I don't want to thank you verbally."

Jiang Changning leaned over to kiss him, but the carriage stopped abruptly, and Jiang Changning threw himself into his arms.
