King Hui Jiang Yucong took his attendants around the city. He must personally select any interesting specialty products. Regardless of the style, quality, taste, or color, he would only choose the ones that his princess liked.
Since every time he went out, he had to bring back several boxes of gifts, so Jiang Yucong had to send someone to escort the gifts back to Beijing the next day at the latest.
Of course, every time the carriage came back empty-handed, Princess Hui Sheng Nang also brought Jiang Yucong's favorite side dishes, a purse she made herself, a small painting she had recently made, some incense, some banknotes... and a stack of Thick reply.
"Second brother, every time you read the letter, it seems that your heart is like an arrow!" King Chu Jiang Yuming looked at his brother with the corners of his mouth raised beside him and couldn't help but joke.
The two brothers were called to Jiuyage Pavilion by Emperor Jinghe, and they inevitably chatted for a while while waiting. Although King Hui's speech was normal, the smile on his face was so conspicuous that it was difficult for King Jiang Yuming of Chu to ignore it.
Seeing with his own eyes the deep love between his brother and the princess, Jiang Yuming felt unspeakable envy.
He didn't think he was any worse than Brother Bihui. If his mother and concubine were merciful, he could actually be a loving couple and live happily.
Thinking of this, he felt that the emperor's brother, who exuded a happy atmosphere, was a little dazzled.
"After returning to the capital this time, I'm afraid it will be the draft season again, and my father may have to arrange a concubine for my brother. I would like to wish my brother Ehuang'e a happy marriage and peace with the palace."
"Third brother, please speak up!" The cheerful King Hui looked at Jiang Yuming with some displeasure when he was disturbed like this, "You are also a prince after all, don't be arrogant!"
Jiang Yuming didn't expect that his brother would become more outspoken. It was just a quarrel between brothers. He would spread the word and the other would come on stage to cooperate. Isn't this difficult? Didn't they have a tacit understanding before getting married? You say something to me, and I say something to you. Why not only did you not cooperate this time, but you just casually broke it up? !
Before he could regain his composure, he heard his brother say with a hint of pride: "This draft, our Prince Hui's Mansion will not have any concubines! I have a child with your royal sister-in-law, so that I can enjoy the family happiness of an ordinary family." Yes! Our father agreed!"
"???" Jiang Yuming blinked, his attention was distracted, and he was wondering, is his father so easy to talk to?
He was in a daze, but he talked enthusiastically about his expectations for the future life with King Hui in front of him.
Before the child was born, King Hui had already envisioned the happy growth paths of the little princess and the little prince.
Not only did he name his own children, he also named his granddaughters and grandsons.
Jiang Yuming was originally thinking about how to mention the concubine to his father, but it was too noisy in his ears. His brother was nagging so much that he couldn't think about his own affairs.
When he finally couldn't bear it anymore and wanted King Hui to shut up, he suddenly discovered that even if he didn't give a reply, his brother was standing there chatting lively.
Jiang Yuming: "..."
Does he look like a tool man? !
"Hahaha, what are you two brothers talking about here? Is it so lively?!"
Emperor Jinghe walked out laughing.
Jiang Yuming opened his eyes: "???"
Where are you? Why are you talking to brothers?
It was clear that only Brother Hui Wang was the one who spoke just now, right? !
Although he was constantly slandering in his heart, he still behaved and followed King Hui, shouting "I have seen my father, and I wish my father well", and at the same time performed the standard palace etiquette.
"Okay, okay, King Hui and King Chu should also sit down!"
Emperor Jinghe looked at the two eldest sons in front of him, his eyes and brows filled with satisfaction: "You are no longer children, I won't say more, but I have to remind you that Prince Qi is from the lineage of the former prince, so I You three are the only adults around me... Huh? Where's the fourth child? Why isn't the fourth child here?"
Only then did Emperor Jinghe remember that the fourth prince, King Zhao Jiang Yu, had not found him.
"Back to the emperor, I have failed in my duty. I will call for King Zhao right now!" Zheng An said sincerely, but he kept rolling his eyes in his heart.
Originally it was the emperor who forgot about the person, but in the end, it was the servants like them who took the pot and tried to reason with him!
"The fourth and fifth brothers went out and said they wanted to imitate the second brother and be good husbands."
Emperor Jinghe laughed and scolded: "I think they just want to go out and have fun! They are still learning from the second child! The fifth child is not married yet! Who can show them what they have learned?!"
Having said that, Emperor Jinghe still stopped Zheng An: "Since we are going out to play, let them have fun without calling them."
After saying this, he looked at the third son and hesitated several times, and immediately snorted: "Your younger brother knows the advantages of his elder brother, but what about you? Why don't you want to learn from him?!"
Jiang Yuming's eyes widened in disbelief. Could his situation be the same?
In a moment of excitement, he muttered something faster than his brain: "If my son also has a good wife in his house, he will definitely be no worse than his second brother!"
King Hui heard this and did not dare to look at his father's face.
He was speechless and almost touched his forehead with his hand.
My brother is not very smart, which makes him feel very unfulfilled!
Jiang Yuming looked at his father's darkened face and his mind suddenly cleared.
Seeing that scolding was inevitable, he simply became heartbroken, knelt down on the ground with a thud, and shouted: "Father, I beg you to make Mrs. Chen my concubine!"
"!!!" King Hui was stunned.
He seems to know the origin of the Chen family and Concubine An!
Emperor Jinghe also didn't expect that the third son would attack at this moment, and his head couldn't help but feel a little big.
To be honest, he didn't care about the existence of the Chen family at all. Not to mention that the An family and the Chen family had just had a marriage contract and were remarried, so there was no need to deliberately distance themselves from the relationship with their ex-husband.
So he didn't resent his son's feelings for the Chen family girl. In fact, because this son was not the heir he was considering, he wanted to make up for it.
Unfortunately, he also had to consider An's opinion.
No matter what the purpose of doting on her was, after all, she had been with him through thick and thin, and he still valued this noble concubine who was also a relative, a friend, and an advisor.
Since she minded the Chen family, he didn't want to make her unhappy.
After all, in his heart, his son Jiang Yuming is not as good as his mother and concubine.
It's a pity that this child seems to be missing a leg. There have been so many examples to prove this before, but he still can't see through it.
"If you really like her, just take her back and become a concubine." Emperor Jinghe didn't want to lose his temper in the family garden, so after much deliberation, he finally compromised.
"Concubine doesn't even have a rank!" But Jiang Yuming didn't appreciate it and wanted to fight for it.
"You evildoer! You're trying to push your limits, aren't you?!" Emperor Jing He's face turned completely dark this time, "If you don't like it, I will point her out to others!"
"Father!" Jiang Yuming stood up in confusion.
Emperor Jing He didn't expect that his threatening words would awaken Jiang Yuming's bad memories.
