Chapter 126 Dedicating the King's Backyard
The palace of Prince Duan was filled with joy, and the young guards were eager to welcome the mistress back to the palace overnight.

Even the idiots in Prince Duan's Mansion can see that their prince likes Miss Haitang.If you don’t look at it, the west wall of the Cheng Mansion is about to be broken by them!Now that the prince is finally getting his wish, who wouldn't be happy for the prince?

Zhou Changshi poured cold water on the side: "Oh, the prince's wedding, there are many procedures to go through, including accepting, asking for names, accepting, accepting, asking for dates, and then arriving to welcome the bride. Each one requires two rounds of back and forth in the palace. Over and over. I'm a good boy, it didn't take more than a year and a half, how could it be done? What do you brats know? Go back to your house and sleep!"

Xian Wang's mansion was also decorated with lanterns and festoons, full of joy.

Since the concubine and his wife did not need a wedding ceremony, they chose an auspicious day according to the almanac. King Xian beat gongs and drums, and carried Zhao Jiayi and Yu Yanrong into the mansion on the same day in two red sedan chairs.

An Changshi of Prince Xian's Mansion was a little worried. The backyard of Prince Xian's Mansion was about to become uninhabitable again.He had to think about expanding the yard further back.Yes, just do it!Maybe there will be another banquet in the palace one day, right?
In the entire Prince Xian Palace, the most angry person was not Concubine Xu, nor Concubine Du, but Cheng Xiangjin, who was four months pregnant.She wasn't angry that King Xian would add another newcomer, but she was angry that Cheng Haitang had cut off her way to enter the palace of Xian Wang by giving birth to a child!Sisters in the same house cannot serve the two princes of the current dynasty respectively. This is an ancestral system. She cannot complain. If she wants to complain, she can blame the wild girl who came back from the mountains.

She, Cheng Xiangjin, must remove this stumbling block if she wants to be Mrs. Xian Wang: "Cheng Haitang, don't blame me for being cruel. I also want to accumulate blessings for the child in my belly, but why don't you choose one of the many men in the dynasty? Prince! You and I are destined to have you without me, and me without you!"

Facing the bronze mirror, Xiang Jin murmured: "If my mother could have cared about me a little bit, she wouldn't have done something like that and lost her life. If my mother wants to move a Cheng Haitang out of the house, she won't just turn her palms." What happened? But now, I’m the only one left alone.”

Rui'er rubbed Cheng Xiangjin's shoulders and comforted her: "Girl, don't worry, you still have the eldest son in your belly! Now, His Highness King Xian is your support. You can't let him alienate you. Girl, Your Highness can It's been a while since I've been in our house, and now there's a new person in the house."

Concubine Zhao and Madam Yu had consummated their marriage with King Xian last night, and the news of their jealousy naturally reached Cheng Xiangjin's ears. She touched her slightly protruding belly just now, feeling a little lost.The love between King Xian and her was still vivid in his mind. The sweet love in the past had become the pleasure of others in the blink of an eye.

"Yes, I can't let His Highness forget me." Cheng Xiangjin quickly looked in the mirror.This is a polished bronze mirror with diamond patterns, but now Xiang Jin only hates that it is too bright. It shows her face that is a little pregnant and slightly swollen. Even the foxy eyes that are usually attractive are also reflected in it. The flesh on his face was so crowded that it lost its shape.

Xiang Jin suddenly panicked, picked up the scissors and cut off the concentric flower spikes strung on the back of the mirror. With a "pop" sound, she knocked the mirror on the table, leaned on the table and began to cry: "Call Your Highness." What are you here for? To show him how ugly I am now?"

King Xian didn't know that there was an undercurrent surging in the backyard, let alone Cheng Xiangjin's self-pity.After going to court and changing clothes in the room, he hesitated for a moment. The new concubine Zhao and Mrs. Yu were both very nice and he liked them both.But at present, King Xian is even more eager to establish a close relationship with the Kangding Marquis.

After the chaos in Yanwuchang, Prince De withdrew to Shu, Prince Qing and General Liu subdued the law, and now Duke Zhong is still supporting him.Thinking about falling out with Ji Shi in the future, King Xian must not place all his hopes on Ji Shi.Therefore, Xian Wang believes that the backyard should be his loyal supporter.

In Princess Xu's family, except for Taishi Xu who could say a few words for her in the court, there were no prominent members in the next two generations. The family's power was gradually declining and it was not enough to rely on.

Concubine Du's brother is the General Manager of the Chinese Army and has some military power. Although the last military horse case caused him some hardship, he is still loyal to her.It's a pity that there is no right to speak in the court.The new wife Yu Yanrong, although her father was just a county magistrate, when she entered the government, she handed him 5 taels of silver on her father's behalf.It seems that County Magistrate Yu can give him considerable support in terms of money in the future.King Xian forgot to think about how a sesame official could have so much money to honor him.

Then there is Concubine Zhao, she is the second daughter of the Kangding Marquis. With the support of the Kangding Marquis, he would have two legs to walk in the court.That day he chose the second girl in a fit of enthusiasm. Later when he entered the palace, he was scolded by Concubine Ji. He himself regretted it for a while.At this point, I can only hope that Zhao Jiayi is clever and sensible and can do something for him in front of her father and brother.

After thinking about it this way, he walked to the west wing.

When Zhao Jiayi heard the sound of King Xian coming in, she sat on the edge of the bed and turned her face to the wall, deliberately ignoring him. "What's going on?" King Xian sat down with a smile, "Could it be that the flowers on the wall are prettier than me?" As he spoke, he held Zhao Jiayi in his arms.

Zhao Jiayi half pushed and half leaned into his arms, and said coquettishly: "Your Highness, you are so cruel! I waited for you all night last night. You walked out of my door, and then you were seduced by some foxy girl!"

King Xian didn't answer. He held her head with one hand, moved it along her cheek, and chewed it with his mouth. He stopped letting her speak. Zhao Jiayi really shut up.There were many women in the backyard, and some of them would always come to complain to him. King Xian was very troubled. This was the only way to shut them up as quickly as possible without being unreasonable. It was simple, effective, and tried and true.

King Dan also has King Dan's troubles.

In the past few days, he went to Qin Tian Prison to stay there every day. Qin Tian Prison was forced to do nothing, so he calculated three good days and auspicious days for Prince Duan to choose.King Duan took a look: they were July 28th, August [-]th, and October [-]th.Duan Wang almost wanted to lift Qin Tianjian's table.

"Why is there no suitable time earlier? Sir, please write for the first half of the year!" King Duan said with a shy face.

Lord Qin Tianjian Zhu touched his goatee, shook his head and said, "Prince Duan is unaware of something. I have been observing the sky these days and nights, and found that Mercury retrograde happened in the first half of the year, which is not suitable for you two! You don't want to After getting married, the husband and wife may not get along.”

Husband and wife are not getting along?That won't work!He could only settle for the next best thing, so King Duan pointed to the first day and said, "That's it!"

Soon, the palace, Prince Duan's Mansion, and Cheng Mansion all received the news:
On July [-]th this year, Xie Ruitang and Cheng Haitang got married.
