Chapter 157 Complaining, Disdain
Jiang Cheng's eyes were full of accusations, but Concubine Jiang paid no attention to his grievances and continued to instruct him, "Don't you like watching singing and dancing? Go to more brothels and compete with others for attention.
But you are not allowed to touch the women there, and you have to be extra careful with what you put in your mouth. You can spill alcohol on yourself, but you can't actually drink it.
Also, you can argue with others, but you are not allowed to hit them, and you certainly can’t cause a death!”
Jiang Cheng said with a bitter face: "Sister, your request is too high!"
"Who told you to get into trouble? You sneaked into the Sun family and ran into such a scandal?"
Concubine Jiang scolded him harshly, then sighed and comforted him, "This is the only way for now.
Only by making others think you are a fool can they believe that this incident was not your intentional calculation, and you just went to the Sun Mansion to see the beauty.
"You went to the brothel and got into a fight with someone, and your father used that as an excuse to give you a good scolding and confine you to your home to reflect on your mistakes and avoid the next turmoil. Remember that?"
Jiang Cheng felt bitter, but he could only agree obediently.
When he left, he looked back at the palace with carved railings, painted buildings, red walls and green tiles, and suddenly felt cold all over.
It is such a beautiful place, and my sister is a favored concubine, but she has to live so cautiously.
Why should they avoid the Chen family?
Is it just because the Chen family produced a queen?
If only my sister could become the queen...
Jiang Cheng's emotions were churning, but he quickly suppressed them.
Thinking of Concubine Jiang's instructions, he had to be cautious.
As soon as he left the palace, he saw the Jiang family's carriage that came to pick him up, along with two tall and strong servants.
"Master, the master has specially sent me to pick you up. Please get in the car!"
The two servants had smiles on their faces and spoke in a flattering tone, but their attitude was unquestionable.
It seemed as if they would grab him and drag him in if he refused to get in the car.
Jiang Cheng got into the car with a sour face, and lay down directly on the cushions. He said lazily: "Take me to the Princess's Mansion first."
The servant immediately refused: "Master, the master wants you to go back directly."
Jiang Cheng glanced at him with dissatisfaction: "Are you the young master, or am I the young master? This young master went to the Princess's Mansion to do serious business! How dare you ruin this young master's plan?"
The two servants looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and then asked the coachman to go to the Princess's Mansion first.
Anyway, the two houses are not far away.
The eldest princess's mansion.
Upon learning that Jiang Cheng was seeking an audience outside, the eldest princess immediately darkened her face with disgust: "Tell him to get out and tell him that I don't want to see him."
Lady Zhou whispered, "Your Highness, why don't you go see him? He said this is a matter concerning Your Highness and the young master."
The eldest princess's expression suddenly became extremely gloomy: "Let him get in!"
When Jiang Cheng came in, he smiled flatteringly and bowed to the princess respectfully: "Jiang Er greets Her Royal Highness the Princess..."
The princess didn't like him, so she didn't ask him to stand up. She just asked calmly, "What do you want to say to me?"
Jiang Cheng's expression changed, but he continued to bow and said, "Your Highness, you may not know this, but I heard that Sun Kang was hosting a banquet in his mansion to entertain Prince Chen, so I sneaked in to see the beauties that Sun Kang had recently brought in.
Who would have thought I'd hear him slandering His Highness? I figured His Highness should be informed, so I came here to tell him."
The eldest princess looked displeased: "What did he slander me about?"
Jiang Cheng immediately complained: "He accused Your Highness of having a woman's perspective, long hair and short knowledge, ignorance and superstition, and was dissatisfied with Your Highness for giving the house to a baby!"
The princess tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand, but asked, "Did you come to see me just to say this?"
"That's right." Jiang Cheng's face was filled with righteous indignation, "Your Highness has a sincere and loving mother's heart, how could you be slandered by a villain like Sun Kang?
When I heard him slandering Your Highness like this, I thought of my sister in the palace and my poor little nephew. I think my sister must have felt the same way as Your Highness over the years..."
The eldest princess interrupted him unhappily: "I already know, you can go back."
She didn't want to face Jiang Er, and she didn't want to hear Jiang Er mention Concubine Jiang in the palace and the little prince who died young.
Besides, Jiang Er really can't speak, so how can she and Concubine Jiang have the same mood?
Concubine Jiang's son had died long ago, but her son was still alive!
Ever since Xie Ying came, her son has visibly improved and is much better than before.
Who is Sun Kang?
Is it the right of a fool who loves beauty and acts recklessly by relying on the achievements of his ancestors to scold her behind her back, saying that she has long hair and short knowledge, has womanly views, is ignorant and superstitious, and is stupid and ignorant?
If she had not seen with her own eyes that her son had clearly improved, how could she have regarded Xie Ying as a lucky star and given her a mansion just to let her live next door and be with her son every day?
The princess rudely drove Jiang Cheng out and immediately ordered, "Go and find out what happened to the Sun family today."
Watching Lady Zhou walk away quickly, she curled her lips and sneered.
Sun Kang was truly a piece of shit for daring to curse her behind her back. But Jiang Cheng had come all the way to tell her about it, so it was clear that he had no good intentions.
Want to use her to get rid of Sun Kang?
Or do you want her to be dissatisfied with Chen Shousheng?
No matter what Jiang Cheng wants to plan, he will never succeed with her!
After pondering for a moment, the princess went to see her son again.
When she arrived, she saw Xie Ying pinching Situ Yuan's fingers, and Situ Yuan gently shaking a rattle, as if to tease her.
She couldn't help but let out a loving smile. She walked over and wanted to pick up Xie Ying, but Situ Yuan stopped her: "Mom, are you tired?"
The princess' heart softened instantly, and she even forgot that she wanted to hug Xie Ying. She just sat down next to Situ Yuan and asked, "What will you do if I'm tired?"
Situ Yuan said pitifully: "Then...then should I ask someone to massage my mother's shoulders?"
The eldest princess was immediately amused by him, so she deliberately teased him: "Can't you massage my shoulders yourself? Why let someone else come?"
Situ Yuan's face turned serious, and he said as a matter of course: "I'm too young now, and my strength is too little. If I get tired, mother will be distressed again."
Xie Ying secretly glanced at him, a little disdainful: [A dignified brain-powered person is actually pretending to be cute here! ]
Situ Yuan also secretly glanced at her: "Are you pretending enough? I learned all this from you!"
Xie Ying: ...
She simply didn't bother to pay attention to Situ Yuan and began to carefully think about the conversations she had heard not long ago.
At the same time, Empress Chen, who had just returned to Fengyi Palace, suddenly asked the female official beside her: "Do you think that the child of the Xie family is really a lucky star?"
The female official's heart trembled, and she smiled calmly and said, "If Your Majesty thinks she is, then she is. If Your Majesty thinks she is not, then she is not."
Empress Chen smiled faintly and said, "I heard that Yuan'er has indeed improved these days. The child must be blessed to have brought such a change to Yuan'er."
At this point, she suddenly sighed, "I just don't know how long her blessing can last?"
