Now the weather is hot, and many things are prone to mold and rot. Although there are many people serving in the palace, they are not cleaned everywhere, especially when the emperor has just died, everyone is concerned about fighting. However, this area is very close to the emperor's palace, and it is often visited by nobles, so it is reasonable to say that there is no problem.

Jiang Chaosheng took a sniff, and only smelled the fragrance of the flowers and trees by the roadside. It rained yesterday, and there was a faint smell of mud: "What is the smell? But the smell of the father's body?"

The weather is very hot, but there are a lot of ice cubes in the palace where the coffins are parked, and the body has not yet begun to emit a distinct smell, but Ji Xuanbing is a merman, so his sense of smell may be more sensitive.

"No, it's not the smell of the corpse, or the smelly fish and rags. I smelled it when your brother came over." Ji Xuanbing couldn't remember what it smelled for a while.

"I have a lot of brothers, which brother are you talking about." The emperor died, and almost all the princes in the capital who could come came. The original owner was the eleventh prince, but not the youngest one. The older one is in his thirties, and the younger is only a few years old.

There are hundreds of people in the mourning hall, including concubines, princes and grandsons, and brothers of the old emperor. Jiang Chaosheng is sure that there is only one dead person here, and those standing there and kneeling there are all living people.

Ji Xuanbing frowned, obviously disliking the smell in his memory: "There are several of them, some very smelly, some a little bit."

He approached Jiang Chaosheng, buried his face in his clothes, and took a deep breath: "You don't have such a smell on your body." Your husband's body is always clean, with that very light herbal fragrance.

"Eleventh brother." A low and clear male voice interrupted their conversation.

Jiang Chaosheng looked up, and it was his third emperor brother who caught his eye. It turned out that he and Ji Xuanbing were walking and said that the two of them had arrived at the palace where the imperial concubine was.

He didn't say anything to the third prince, and only put down Ji Xuanbing's hand, which he was holding secretly: "It's not a place to talk outside, we'll go in and talk about anything."

They entered the palace, and the imperial concubine was waiting inside. She changed the gorgeous dress in the past and chose the most plain clothes to wear, but she has a bright face, and she looks beautiful no matter how simple she wears.

"My son has lost a lot of weight after going out for a year, and he has become darker." When he saw Jiang Chaosheng, the imperial concubine's eyes suddenly turned red. But in fact, the redness of the eye circles is made with blush, and the paleness is due to the application of a lot of powder.

After so many years, the newcomers in the palace have changed from batch to batch. The imperial concubine has long known what kind of virtue the person next to her pillow is. She only cares about her two children, and the youngest son was sent so far by her own father. After the place, she completely gave up on the latter.

Jiang Chaosheng was a little uncomfortable. Although he received the memories more or less, those memories were like watching flowers at a glance. It was similar to watching a long movie. There was no deep sense of substitution. In addition, his personality was different, which was doomed. It is impossible for him to be as close to the concubine as the original owner. I

He moved his lips and called out softly, "Mother concubine."

The imperial concubine continued to wipe her tears with the veil: "You blame me and your brother? You are unwilling to be as close to me as before." It's just been a year, and the younger son seems to have changed a lot. He is no longer squeamish and arrogant, and he is mature and stable. Not a lot.

Jiang Chaosheng shook his head: "No, the child just grew up."

He does not resent the imperial concubine, but is actually very grateful that "Qiongzhou City can have its current appearance, all relying on the mother concubine and the elder brother." The pearls that the little merman cried are indeed very valuable, but the most valuable things are too weak to protect The person who lives in the treasure may not bring great wealth but disaster.

If there is no channel for the imperial concubine, the price of pearls at the beginning is not so easy to make. In the later period of Jiang Chaosheng, the sky-high skin care cosmetics made from the powdered pearls were basically sold in the shops of the imperial concubine. The two of them are win-win cooperation. Strictly speaking, the imperial concubine has indeed made a lot of contributions to the establishment of Qiongzhou New City.

"We're a family, what are we talking about." She looked at Ji Xuanbing beside Jiang Chaosheng, "Who is this guard next to you?"

The imperial concubine has her own connections and means, and she has heard everything that happened today. There are many nobles in the capital who are fond of the south wind. Some mistresses even prefer their husbands to like male pets. At least the concubines and concubines will not crawl out of the belly of the male concubine, which will dilute the inheritance of the sons and daughters in the future. Even the emperor's palace has a male concubine, but he is not very favored.

Jiang Chaosheng glanced at the other people in the palace. The steward aunt beside the imperial concubine was quite sensible and took the extra people out. Then he took Ji Xuanbing's hand: "Xuanbing, call Mother Concubine."

Ji Xuanbing was a little nervous at first, but Jiang Chaosheng was holding hands, but he felt that he was not afraid of anything, and immediately raised his eyebrows and called out sweetly and crisply: "Mother concubine!"

"Eh...Eh?" The imperial concubine responded subconsciously, and immediately realized that something was wrong.

She looked left and right, horizontally and vertically, no matter how she looked at Ji Xuanbing, she couldn't get along with her beautiful daughter-in-law. If you look closely, the facial features are very delicate, but the little face is too dark, I feel that the farmers in Zhuangzi are not so dark. There is a particularly obvious Adam's apple, the chest is also very flat, and the stomach does not have any ups and downs.

According to a letter from Jiang Chao's family some time ago, Princess An was pregnant and did not show her belly in the first few months, but because the fetus was unstable, she needed to be treated with more caution.

"You explain to me clearly, what's going on?!" As a biological mother, Concubine An Gui was naturally partial to her son, and felt that it was normal for her son to marry a wife and take a concubine. It is the third prince. In addition to the main concubine, there are also two side concubines, but he respects the main concubine very much. After the main concubine gave birth to a direct son, he would have a concubine in the back house.

However, not long after Jiang Chaosheng got married, Concubine Zheng was pregnant, so his son dared to go out and mess around, and even brought her over to call her Concubine An all the way.

Jiang Chaosheng had to remind the concubine: "I remember that I told you the name of the concubine in the letter."

He took out the veil, poured out some potion from the white porcelain bottle, and rubbed it lightly on Ji Xuanbing's black face. The dark complexion immediately turned white, like fresh snow on a pile of coals. The contrast was particularly strong. distinct.

"I don't trust the princess to stay in Qiongzhou alone, so I worked hard for him to come here with me." If Ji Xuanbing jumped into the sea and insisted on following, it would definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of the imperial concubine. As a man caught between the two, Jiang Chaosheng Or decide to take it all on yourself.

Sure enough, the imperial concubine glanced at Ji Xuanbing's belly and scolded her youngest son directly: "She is still double, you are fooling around!"

She said about her youngest son, and then said Ji Xuanbing: "You too, your husband is ignorant, you can't rely on him in everything."

Ji Xuanbing was very well-behaved: "I am worried about my husband, and I have to follow him." If something happened to Jiang Chao, he would have no meaning to live.

If he listened to his husband, the imperial concubine might not be really satisfied, but when he said "good daughter-in-law", the imperial concubine instead felt wronged on Ji Xuanbing's behalf, "Don't always excuse him, take everything on your own, sooner or later. Spoil him. If he bullies you, tell me, and the concubine will teach him for you."

Ji Xuanbing immediately spoke for Jiang Chaosheng: "No, husband won't do this!"

Even if she is a noble concubine, her heart is a little sour. Looking at Jiang Chaosheng's peach blossom eyes, she is clearly asking: "Where did you get such a daughter-in-law."

It's foolish and infatuated, even the eccentric mother-in-law, Tian, ​​can't say that the little daughter-in-law is not good. Forget it, the children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren: "Well, you two have a good life."

The imperial concubine said that she was going to take off the bracelet she often wore on her hand: "I thought you would not come, and I didn't prepare the meeting ceremony."

"Gu Gu" someone screamed from hunger, Jiang Chaosheng hurriedly changed the subject, "Mother concubine, we walked all the way, and we didn't have time to eat anything, and there were no snacks in the palace."

"I knew you were hungry, so I prepared it long ago." She prepared a feast for her youngest son, all of which were the other party's favorite dishes, and it was more than enough to add another person.

Because it was a family banquet, Jiang Chaosheng didn't let outsiders prepare dishes, and even let Ji Xuanbing sit beside him, and prepared a lot of his favorite dishes for the little shark.

The imperial concubine kept watching, her expression changed slightly, she stood up specially, and steamed the eggplant with chopsticks beside her: "Mother concubine remember that you liked to eat this before, you should eat more."

"Thank you mother-in-law." Jiang Chaosheng replied politely, and ate the dish that the concubine had put into his stomach.

The imperial concubine's chopsticks fell with a snap, and suddenly grabbed Jiang Chaosheng's hand, she rolled up Jiang Chaosheng's sleeve, and when she saw the familiar scar, she slowly sat down again.

No mother can't recognize the child she loves deeply. Even after a year of separation, the child should not have changed so much, but this body clearly belongs to her youngest son.

Jiang Chaosheng knew what the other party suspected when he saw the reaction of the imperial concubine. He didn't want to make the other party sad, but since some things have been seen through, there is no need to hide them.

He said calmly and frankly, "I'm not him."
