Chapter 69
An important guest came to Qiongzhou New City, which was several times more prosperous than before, a noble concubine who escaped from the palace. She was escorted by the third prince, and she traveled to several places, walking at a much slower speed than Jiang Chaosheng and the others at the time.
Jiang Chaosheng came out to receive her in person: “Mother has worked so hard to come here, but she should take a bath and change clothes first, and wait for a short rest. I set up a dust-washing banquet for you.”
Qiongzhou is developing very fast, but in the eyes of other princes, it is still a corner place with no future. If someone is not interested, the war caused by human struggles will generally not spread to this extreme southern corner.
When the imperial concubine saw Jiang Chaosheng, her expression was a little complicated, but she was indeed exhausted, so she still accepted Jiang Chaosheng’s kindness. She took a carriage from the port to the city lord’s mansion. Along the way, she opened the curtain to see the style of Qiongzhou. When she arrived at the mansion prepared by Jiang Chaosheng, the imperial concubine said, “You can do it well.”
When Lou Zhan came to complain, she had heard of Qiongzhou’s predicament, and what she pictured in her mind was a sparsely populated, barren and dilapidated place. Now it seems that although Qiongzhou New City is not as large and rich as the capital, it has a different style of the island, and it is very delicate everywhere, and the streets are not cleaner than the palace. In such a short time, Jiang Chaosheng was able to build a city like this, which is indeed very promising.
Just thinking of getting close to her youngest son, the imperial concubine is inevitably a little sad. If it is her eleventh, it is not necessarily worse than the person in front of her.
Ji Xuanbing and Jiang Chaosheng came to receive the nominal mother-in-law. Hearing what the concubine said, he immediately refused to accept Jiang Chaosheng: “It’s not that my husband is doing well, but very good.”
The imperial concubine had never seen the dilapidated state of Qiongzhou before. How could she know what her husband had done? At that time, people were still excreted everywhere. The flat roads, clean streets, and row upon row of streets were all thanks to the husband. So many days and nights of hard work, how can only one is okay.
Jiang Chaosheng raised his broad sleeves, shook Ji Xuanbing’s hand lightly, and came out to relieve the embarrassed imperial concubine: “You are a lover in the eyes of Xi Shi, you think I’m good in everything, and my mother thinks it’s good too, it’s just her Use words sparingly.”
Ji Xuanbing is now an adult mermaid who is also a parent. In the end, he is making trouble for Jiang Chao. Don’t think that he doesn’t know, the imperial concubine is very partial. He said that he felt sorry for the younger son, and even angered his husband, but without his tide, the original eleventh prince would have fallen into the sea and turned into a pile of bones.
He said to Jiang Chaosheng, “If she came here to tell Qiongzhou City to let go, don’t listen to it.”
Ji Xuanbing is rich all over the world, and he is willing to give half of his glory to Jiang Chaosheng. For him, a small Qiongzhou city is not as vast as one ten thousandth of his territory. However, Jiang Chaosheng paid a lot of hard work in such a small territory, and the domineering shark emperor could not tolerate his husband being bullied.
Jiang Chaosheng laughed, and quietly comforted Ji Xuanbing behind his back: “I know in my heart, you and Diu Diu are the most important, don’t worry.”
The imperial concubine used to have a very proud temperament. When she fled, Jiang Chaosheng also suggested that the imperial concubine could follow him, but the imperial concubine still chose to follow the third prince. Now the imperial concubine came here, on the one hand, because she wanted to see the child, and on the other hand, because the third prince did not need two mistresses by his side.
The third prince has been out of the palace for many years, and he has the third prince and concubine who has been with him all the time.
The imperial concubine did not hear the whispers of her husband and husband, but she knew from Ji Xuanbing’s attitude that she could not live the life she had before when she came to Qiongzhou City. Following her, the maid who dressed and combed her hair said, “Niangniang, Princess An is really from a small family. This is too unruly.”
When the imperial concubine came, she was very low-key, and she did not let outsiders call her any more empresses: “Your Majesty has become the first emperor, and the concubine died in the palace, so what are you calling me empress.”
When she said it, Jiang Chaosheng’s attitude didn’t make her feel the difference. If she was a well-behaved and sensible little eleven, she would definitely put her mother in front of her, but Jiang Chaosheng was not a child born and raised by her side. Realizing this, she became more and more Disappointed.
“Keep your mouth shut. What are you talking about? Ben Gong is here this time just to see Ben Gong’s precious golden grandson.”
When she knew that the cause of her husband’s death was not so legitimate, the concubine’s thoughts did not change, but when she thought about the indifference of the other party to her over the years, and then the young son who disappeared because of her husband, the waves in her heart calmed down. Nothing is as important to her now as her own children and grandchildren.
In this King Ding rebellion, her eldest son showed a lot of strength in it. The concubine has been a harem woman for many years, and is not good at marching and fighting. At this time, she can only help the eldest son to establish a relationship with his mother’s family, and then guard the rear for the eldest son. But even if they took possession of the righteousness and obtained evidence that the fourth prince had poisoned the former emperor, things were not as smooth as they expected.
Especially recently, when the world has not yet been conquered, there are people floating in the bottom, thinking about meritorious deeds and rewards. When the imperial concubine came here this time, on the one hand, she did not want to get involved in those things, on the other hand, she really wanted to see Xiao Diu Diu. Even if the body of her own child is an alien ghost, and she doesn’t like the cheap daughter-in-law at all, but the flesh and blood Jiang Chaosheng uses is a lump of flesh and blood that fell from the imperial concubine’s body, so this newborn is her real thing. True grandson.
Xiao Diu Diu is a very lovable child, even if the imperial concubine is in a bad mood, seeing such a cute baby, she can’t help but feel happy, and even proposes to keep it by her side.
This proposal was of course rejected by Jiang Chaosheng: “Xuan Bing and I are just such a child, and most of it is energy.”
Although Ji Xuanbing brought the children mainly to play with them, the nature of keeping children by their side is not the same as giving them to their elders. Not to mention that he has only a little mother-son friendship with the noble concubine, even if he gave birth to his own mother, he would not agree to this condition. In the case of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, there is a problem with the man in the middle. Jiang Chaosheng has always been able to handle it clearly, and he will never make his wife feel wronged for the sake of the imperial concubine.
On the contrary, Ji Xuanbing was not as excited as Jiang Chaosheng thought: “It’s okay to ask her to help with the area. Diudiu is noisy every day, so that neither of us have much time to spend alone.”
Before there was no baby, Ji Xuanbing was looking forward to having a baby, but after having a baby, although he watched the baby happily most of the time, occasionally he felt that Xiao Di Diu was crying loudly. He and his husband were newly married not long ago, and he thought that Diu Diu would be an egg, and it would take a long time to hatch before it came out.
Ji Xuanbing bit his ears with Jiang Chaosheng: “If I give it to the High Priest, she will definitely scold me, so let her take it for a few days. Didn’t she say she would leave in a few days?”
This is his territory, and Ji Xuanbing is not at all worried that the imperial concubine has the ability to take the child away from his nose.
In fact, the imperial concubine is pampered, and she is not very good at taking care of children. There are nurses for breastfeeding, servants to change dirty diapers, and Jiang Chaosheng does not let outsiders into the house. These trivial things are basically his own as a father.
He euphemistically said: “Human children grow up very fast. When you were pregnant with him for the first half of the year, I didn’t do anything. Now I do a little more. Children need to interact more and have a sense of participation.”
Jiang Chaosheng let the imperial concubine live in the house, but the rest of the servants still had to follow his rules, and he could not do this and that in place of the imperial concubine. Now that these chores have been transferred to the imperial concubine, she has only been doing it for two days. Before Ji Xuanbing took the initiative to ask the child to come back, she took the initiative to send the child back, and her attitude was much better, at least looking at Ji Xuanbing’s face. As ugly as before.
“Looking at your troubles, your grandma dislikes you.” Ji Xuanbing patted her cub’s tender butt, “But it’s her fault that she dislikes you, and your father and I will not dislike you. ”
Ji Xuanbing took off all the clothes on Diu Diu’s body and put it into the pool to play with him. Although the cub is still young, the merman’s ability cannot be forgotten. Ji Xuanbing intends to teach the babbling babble the language of the merman, and also plans to teach him to hunt.
The little merman who is a father is very worried. Some knowledge is inherited from the eggshell. The merman knows it, but his cub still has half human blood. Even if the cub is an idiot in the future, he has to work hard. Teach him to be an idiot who won’t be bullied.
The two father and son were swimming in their own home, and they did not avoid outsiders. The imperial concubine, who happened to be walking here, saw this scene, and when she saw the shiny fish tail, she almost screamed in surprise, and then someone covered her mouth from behind.
The person who made such a daring act was none other than the maid who followed the imperial concubine, who dragged her to the corner: “Niangniang, be careful, the eleventh prince has already been bewitched by monsters, and he has given birth to someone who is not a man. The monsters are coming, you must be worried, or they will find out your secret and kill you.”
Ji Xuanbing, who taught Xiao Diu Diu, raised his eyes and glanced at the empty corridor, and then threw a fresh small fish into the air again: “Dou Diu, come on, catch it!”
The imperial concubine whose worldview was impacted was a little dazed. No matter how well-informed she was, it would take a while to consume this fact.
The maid, who had covered her mouth before, entered the house at the same time to serve the imperial concubine, and after closing the door, she carefully took out a bag of medicinal powder from her sleeve: “Niangniang, I know you like the little prince, but that is a half-human, half-demon monster. , If I don’t get rid of that monster, the Eleventh Prince will be completely invincible! This powder is the exorcism powder given to me by the Immortal Master I met. As long as it is used for the monster, maybe His Royal Highness the Eleventh Emperor will be able to come back!”
