Being carried home by a rough man, Jiaojiao gets rich again and again

Chapter 373
"Don't worry, I'm not stupid. Besides, Xiao Jingshan and the imperial concubine are still here, so nothing will happen."

The imperial concubine and Xiao Jingshan both protected her, but she was not afraid of the tall man supporting her.

Tao Yuerong whispered, "As long as you know what's going on."

The two of them murmured a few words to each other, then stopped talking when they saw someone coming.

"The Duke's wife and the eldest prince's concubine are really close, which makes me envious."

The speaker was Yu Tongzheng's daughter Yu Qingqing, who was also the fourth prince-to-be.

Next to her is her mother, Mrs. Fish.

"I have met the Duke's wife and the eldest prince's concubine." Yu Qingqing greeted the two of them.

Although Yu Qingqing is also a prince's concubine, after all, she and the fourth prince are not married yet. Even if they are married, Jiang Hao is the emperor's wife, and she should salute.

As for the Duke's wife, she is of the first rank and has the same status as the prince's concubine. She is also an elder and can also receive gifts.

Jiang Hao took a look at the prospective fourth prince.

Compared with Zeng Hongmei, who looks dignified and majestic, Yu Qingqing looks like a sweet girl, with dimples on her face, which makes people feel close to her.

Tao Yuerong answered calmly, "Miss Yu and her mother naturally have a good relationship."

She has always been so cold outside. With her status and identity, no one would pick on her.

Tao Yuerong signaled Jiang Hao with her eyes, "I'll go in first, you be careful."

Jiang Hao responded with his eyes, "I know, I know."

After seeing the Duke's wife leaving, Yu Qingqing acted coquettishly with her mother, "Mom, you go in first, I want to talk to the eldest princess."

Mrs. Yu's expression was doting, "Okay, okay, you young people have a nice chat, and I won't interrupt you."

After that, he bowed slightly to Jiang Hao and then left.

Yu Qingqing smiled as she talked to Jiang Hao, with a hint of shyness on her expression.

"I met the eldest princess when I went back to the palace banquet last time. I was detained by my mother and didn't go over to say hello to you. Don't be angry with me."

Jiang Hao felt confused and didn't answer.

Is it because he is restrained by his side or because he doesn't like her due to his undecided status? She is not stupid.

Yu Qingqing blushed again and said, "Fortunately, we will be sisters-in-law in the future and can visit each other frequently."

He stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling person. Although Jiang Hao was not very enthusiastic, he was not too cold either.

The two talked for a while at the door and then entered the hall together. Most of what Yu Qingqing said was about admiring her.

Jiang Hao remained polite and polite. After entering, Yu Qingqing returned to her mother.

She is the prince's concubine, and she is in the front position, so the two of them are not together.

However, when Jiang Hao went in, she noticed Zeng Hongmei looking at her and frowned when she saw her going in with Yu Qingqing.

Jiang Hao found it interesting and sat down in his seat. Next to him was an old royal family member, some kind of old princess.

Jiang Hao said hello, but the other person's look was arrogant and it was obvious that he looked down on her. Naturally, she would not put a hot face on a cold butt.

Emperor Yi'an appeared last with his concubine as usual.

Arriving before them were Concubine Jing and Concubine Yu, the hosts of the palace banquet.

The two concubines have equal status, and above them is the noble concubine.

This is the second time the imperial concubine has appeared at a palace banquet in 20 years, and the situation is obviously much better than the last time.

Concubine Jing and Concubine Yu looked at each other, obviously reaching an agreement on their goals.

First, kick out the sick man who has been favored for more than 20 years, and then they will each rely on their own abilities.

On New Year's Eve, the king and his ministers have fun together.

Emperor Yi'an was always very talkative on such occasions, so all the family members, sons and daughters of the ministers were present, and some even brought their relatives.

By participating in this kind of palace banquet, not only can you see the beauty of the sky, but if you are lucky, you may be able to reach the sky in one step.

It is also the best occasion for ladies and gentlemen from various families to meet each other.

Looking at the dark crowd, if it weren't for her good eyesight, she probably wouldn't be able to identify anyone at a glance.

The eldest prince, the third prince and the fourth prince have already booked their wives, and the only one left is the second prince.

Although a prince can marry both his wife and his wife, naturally he has to compete for the position of the second prince's main concubine rather than his side concubine.

After all, the concubine is also a concubine.

I don't know who started it, and unmarried ladies from various families performed performances one after another.

Emperor Yi'an was very happy to see the peaceful scene of the country and the people, and turned to ask the concubine next to him.

"My dear concubine, you may have a noble girl that you like. It's time to point out the right concubine to Qian'er."

They are all sons, and the others are married, so it is not easy to favor one another and leave the second prince alone.

Besides, the second prince is still the elder brother, so he should get married before the third and fourth princes.

Concubine Su said softly, "I've asked Qian'er, but he doesn't have a girl he likes yet."

Emperor Yi'an frowned, "How can he leave the important matter of marriage to him?" The concubines of the third and fourth princes were proposed by Concubine Jing and Concubine Yu. They were both outstanding ladies in the capital. Emperor Yi'an felt that there was no problem and gave them to him directly. Married.

Xiao Jingshan has his first wife. Although he is dissatisfied, he accepts her. When the time comes, he will accept two concubines with good families.

When it's Xiao Qian's turn as his concubine, she should be matched with someone who has a good family background and good looks in all aspects.

"My concubine is with someone she loves, and naturally she hopes the same for our son."

Concubine Su looked at Emperor Yi'an with affection in her eyes.

Emperor Yi'an was very impressed by these words and waved his hand to let the second prince choose.

Tell him which one you like, and he will marry you again.

Now the woman whose family background was originally unknown began to make moves.

Since the emperor has said so, can't they also be concubines?
The eldest prince's concubine is both a merchant girl and from the private sector, so their families are no better than Jiang Hao's.

At the concubine's table, Su Wanting, who was marginalized, clenched her hands tightly as she looked at these noble ladies who wanted to marry the second prince.

Originally, she had a chance. If Concubine Su hadn't let go, she would have become the second prince.

She hated Concubine Su and Emperor An.

As soon as she got old, she was buried in the harem for the rest of her life.

The maid sent by Concubine Yu to keep an eye on Su Wanting had a clear view of her expression.

It seemed that Concubine Yu had guessed that this noble man was actually interested in the second prince.

If you make good use of it today, you can kill two birds with one stone.

As for the second prince himself, he still knew nothing about Concubine Yu's plan. He looked at the noble ladies from various families who tried their best to flatter her and was very indifferent.

Since he was a child, he had seen his father doting on his mother and concubine in every possible way, and he had no expectations for marriage.

In today's terms, it means that you are disgusted with marriage and are afraid of marriage.

As a son of a noble family proposed to marry a daughter of a noble family, and Emperor Yi'an granted the marriage, the atmosphere became even better.

Seeing that the emperor was in high spirits, everyone present relaxed and exchanged glasses and started talking.

Jiang Hao went to change his clothes and came back and found that Xiao Jingshan was missing.

She was about to send Xiao Jiu beside her to look for her when Yu Qingqing came over.

Yu Qingqing was very enthusiastic when she first came up. Thinking of the dog man's abilities, she asked Xiao Jiu to step aside first.

Every time she entered the palace, she asked Xiaojiu to follow her in condensed clothes.

Xiaojiu has the skills to ensure her safety.

Although Sha Niu is not bad at skills, she has a cheerful and lively personality and is not suitable for walking in the palace.

"First Princess, I have written a new poem. Please help me taste it."

Yu Qingqing didn't know whether she brought up this topic intentionally or unintentionally.

Jiang Hao's smile remained unchanged, "Ms. Yu, has she forgotten my origin? I don't know how to do such elegant things."

Yu Qingqing immediately blushed and apologized, "I'm sorry, I just wanted to talk to you, so I found an excuse. I forgot for a moment that I didn't mean to embarrass you on purpose."

She looked like an innocent rabbit, and her apology was so sincere that no one would think she was sincere.

Even people who wanted to be angry were embarrassed to be angry.

What's more, Jiang Hao doesn't care about this.

"It's okay. If I can't, I just can't. There's nothing to admit."

She doesn't pursue this, so naturally she doesn't care much.She doesn't feel inferior when others attack her about her background, and she can speak out openly about it herself.

Looking at Xiao Jingshan's position, it was still empty.

It's strange why the dog man hasn't come back yet.

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a commotion in the palace.

A palace goddess burst in with a flustered expression.

Concubine Jing scolded, "What kind of behavior are you in such a panic? Which palace are you from? Why don't you understand the rules so well!"

She is responsible for the palace banquet, so she naturally has the right to intervene.

The palace maid trembled and knelt down, "In response to Concubine Jing's words, this slave... this slave is the maid of honor in the palace of the Concubine Jing."

Emperor Yi'an, who was chatting with Concubine Su, raised his head and said, "You are from Concubine Su's palace. Please stand up and answer."

"What happened?"

Why did the former harem feel that Emperor Yi'an was particularly partial to Concubine Su? It was because he would give preferential treatment to even the dog next to the concubine.

As soon as he heard that this maid was from the imperial concubine's palace, he asked her to get up and reply.

The palace maid stood up tremblingly, "Slave, this slave saw..."
