Chapter 24

King Jin accepted it, only to hear Concubine Shu say: "Concubine Mother's drink is good, you should have a cup too."

"Thank you, Concubine Mu." He tasted it, and said calmly, "It's really good... I don't know why Concubine Mother is looking for Erchen?"

"My concubine has something to worry about." Concubine Shu sighed, "I can see clearly today, you don't like the new concubine. Your father gave you five days off, you are fine, but only three days Just start busy with government affairs, don't say that I can't see it, you are just an excuse today."

"It seems that Erchen did not do well enough. Ning Qingqing is Erchen's concubine. In the future, Erchen should respect her as a guest, so as not to let the mother and concubine think about it."

"Mother and concubine misses you because of you. You are a majestic King of Jin. At the beginning, you looked down on several famous girls, but you chose Ning Qingqing like a ghost. That girl looks really good. Mother concubine thought you liked her. So I asked for this marriage for you. Do you know how much pressure and embarrassment the mother and concubine have put on for this?"

"Let the mother and concubine suffer, and the children and ministers are not filial."

"The concubine mother only does this for your own good. As long as you like it, the concubine mother will not do it for you. But now, those who don't know, think that the palace is clinging to the queen and the prince, and I just wronged you to match the second daughter of Ninghou. It's nice to say that you are benevolent, filial and obedient, but if it's not nice, the mother and concubine will accept it too."

The bad thing is that King Jin is just the prince raised by Concubine Shu, how could he really cherish him, otherwise how could he marry a dumb girl with perverted personality for King Jin.Concubine Shu has no children, and the third prince was entrusted to her to be raised when he was young.

"Mother and concubine's painstaking efforts, my son and minister are very grateful. Ah Jun knows that mother and concubine are used to keeping a low profile, but because of this matter, she has come to the forefront. It is the son's unfilial piety that has affected mother and concubine. However, Ah Jun is very concerned about this matter. The marriage is not dissatisfied in the slightest. The son-in-law communicates with her without hindrance, and once again thank the mother and concubine for her fulfillment."

"It would be best if this is the case. I am worried that you married Ninghou's daughter in order to make friends with the crown prince and Ninghou. The mother and concubine do not ask for anything but you to live in peace and happiness. If you are dissatisfied with her, in the future, mother The concubine will definitely find a beautiful girl for you to marry as a side concubine."

King Jin was mentally prepared for this interrogation of his mother and concubine, so he was able to handle it freely.

However, he was also asking himself in his heart, could it be that he really hated Ning Qingqing so much that the concubine mother saw the clues on the first day?What about outsiders?

When King Jin asked his concubine to resign, suddenly Concubine Shu called out, "Ah Jun—"

Xiao Zijun stopped, turned around, and became more respectful.

"Do you remember today's day?" Concubine Shu said.

Xiao Zijun lowered his eyebrows and said nothing, as if waiting for her next sentence.

"Burn a stick of incense for her..." Concubine Shu dropped the following words.

Xiao Zijun's indifferent eyes seemed to be frozen, he didn't respond, he just nodded, then cupped his hands and said: "My son, I'm leaving."

……

When King Jin left, Concubine Shu stood on the Wangzhuang Building, feeling melancholy, and made Tsing Yi walk over with a shawl, "Mother, it's windy here, let's go back?"

Concubine Shu shook her head, looked at Tsing Yi, and expressed her doubts.

"Tsing Yi, why do you think Ah Jun chose her?"

"Your Majesty is still worried about this?"

"If he really likes it..."

The spring half a year ago appeared in Concubine Shu's mind——

That day, it was Princess Wushuang's Jiji banquet, the Empress of the Central Palace was overjoyed, and the young female relatives of Emperor Xuan's relatives and the daughters of officials above the third rank entered the palace to attend the banquet.

Concubine Shu has always lived in secluded places, so she came later.Just after the Ching Ming Festival, the begonias beside the palace wall were in full bloom, adding a lot of warmth to the solemn palace, and she couldn't help but look a few more times.

Under the crabapple flowers not far away, there is a young girl in pink clothes, holding a skirt in her hand, looking around with a smile.At that time, Concubine Shu didn't pay much attention, because she just thought it was Princess Wushuang's guest.

Originally, as an elder at the palace banquet, she would leave the banquet as soon as she showed up, but when she saw the full banquet of noble daughters, she suddenly remembered her son who was about to go to Jingzhou, so she asked people to look for King Jin.

Ah Jun is newly crowned King of Jin, and the candidate for the concubine of Jin is in the pipeline. Although she is not his own mother, the love between mother and child is comparable to that of her own.

Through the curtain, Concubine Shu supported the stepper beside her temples, quietly observing the famous daughter at the banquet.

One of the women in a light red dress caught her attention.

She combed the unmarried woman's flat bun and drooping braids, she looked very handsome, she was enjoying the snacks on the jade plate, and she looked around curiously from time to time.

All the daughters of the mansion are full of pink faces and groomed, gentle and dignified, cautious in every move, no one dares to eat and look like this.

Among the crowd, she is indeed very different, but she is completely different in casual faux pas.

Concubine Shu stared at this face and suddenly remembered something.

She is the curious girl under the begonia flowers.

"Who is that woman?" Concubine Shu frowned slightly and asked the person in charge beside her.

"Hui Niangniang, she is the second daughter of Marquis Anding."

She nodded suddenly, "So it's her?"

Anding Hou Ningzhihuan is from the queen's side, and his second daughter is said to be dumb.I didn't expect this dumb girl to still behave like this, it's a pity that she has a good face.

After a while, a palace woman came over to announce: "The prince has arrived."

As she expected, Ah Jun has always kept a low profile and did not report when he entered the house.

Even so, as soon as Jin Wangfu entered, the eyes of all the guests at the banquet still greeted him, and then they all lowered their gazes, and Gong'e knelt on the ground.

There was a sudden silence in the hall.

There was a sound of steady and powerful footsteps.

The person who came was dressed in a radiant purple royal robe, tall and majestic, with a handsome and heroic profile, faintly revealing a calm and stern aura.

Concubine Shu was delighted that such an outstanding King Jin was the son she had raised for more than ten years.If it weren't for this adopted son, he would have no reliance in the previous court and no favor in the back court, how could he be as expensive as the third concubine?

Back then, when he came to her, he was just a four-year-old deaf child. She accompanied him to grow up step by step, from deafness to recovery, from cowardice and introversion to calmness and responsibility. the prince.

"My son greets my concubine! I don't know why my concubine is in such a hurry to call my concubine?"

Concubine Shu looked at her son kindly: "Get up quickly."

"Today is a rare opportunity. It's better than seeing it clearly on the painting. Ah Jun, who do you have your eyes on?"

Concubine Shu pointed it out to him while watching her son's reaction.

At first, King Jin's eyes were alienated, and he looked at Qianjin outside the curtain very casually.

For a moment, he suddenly saw his eyes condense slightly, and then he took a step forward and picked up a corner of the curtain.

Following Ah Jun's gaze, it was that dumb girl who behaved strangely in Marquis Ning.

She was eating happily, she inadvertently raised her head, and seemed to see A Jun over here, she lost the snack in her hand, and then seemed to be choked, and hiccupped involuntarily.

Not only did Concubine Shu despise such a reckless behavior, but even Ah Jun dared to guarantee that he would despise him.
