The three of them came slowly talking and laughing. Jiang Shu was walking in the middle, with Yu Zheng on the left and Jiang Ning on the right.
Both of them were much taller than Jiang Shu. She stood in the middle like a protected and pampered little girl.
Seeing Father Jiang and Mother Jiang, Jiang Shuyan smiled and shouted: "Dad, Mom, I'm back."
Father Jiang and Mother Jiang nodded with a smile, and finally led the servants to salute: "I have met the prince and the princess."
"Father-in-law and mother-in-law, please get up quickly. I don't need to be polite." Yu Zheng quickly stepped forward to help Jiang's father up.
Father Jiang said solemnly: "Although we are a family, we still have to observe the etiquette that should be observed. It is just a courtesy, and it will not burden us."
They were originally a family of ordinary merchants, and they were looked down upon by others. Now that Jiang Shugao has married into the royal family, if they don't abide by the rules and etiquette, they will definitely be scolded and criticized.
It's just a courtesy, and there won't be any missing pieces of meat. There is no need to cause trouble to Jiang Shu for this matter.
"Yes, you should salute. Let's go in and talk." Jiang's mother took Jiang Shu's hand, and Jiang Ning helped Jiang's father into the hall.
"My lord and princess, please take a seat." Father Jiang and Mother Jiang said.
Yu Zheng's status was too precious. Even as son-in-law, Jiang's father and mother did not dare to sit on the throne.
There is a world of difference between the royal family and the common people.
Yu Zheng's heart was clear, so he did not make any excuses and sat down with Jiang Shu.
Father Jiang and Mother Jiang were sitting at the bottom, looking at Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu at the top. They didn't feel any grievance or displeasure in their hearts, but felt happy and relieved.
As a parent, you can only feel happy and happy when your daughter has such a distinguished honor.
The family talked for a while, and Jiang Ning shouted that she wanted to play chess with Yu Zheng, so Jiang Shu went to the garden with Jiang's mother.
When Jiang Ning was waiting for a wedding two days ago, Jiang Ning had seen Yu Zheng's knowledge and admired him deeply. While playing chess, he would also ask for advice from Yu Zheng from time to time.
Yu Zheng always answers every question, talks about everything he knows, and talks in detail.
Jiang Ning listened carefully, the admiration in her eyes became more and more intense.
He felt that if Yu Zheng took the imperial examination, he would be the number one scholar.
Fortunately, he was born into the royal family and did not have to take the imperial examination, which gave others more opportunities.
Jiang Shu and Jiang's mother walked leisurely. When they sat down in the pavilion, Jiang's mother waved away the maid and had a private conversation with Jiang Shu.
"Have you and the prince... consummated your marriage?" Jiang's mother looked worried.
Jiang Shu's face was slightly red and he nodded shyly.
Seeing this, Jiang's mother breathed a sigh of relief, caressed her chest and said, "As long as it's round."
Although they all saw Yu Zheng's attitude towards Jiang Shu, Jiang Shu had previously married Shen Changze and the marriage had not been consummated for many years. This incident left a shadow in Jiang's mother's heart, and she was a little worried, fearing that Jiang Shu did not understand men and women. Things.
"I see that the prince treats you very well. You are not young anymore, so you should have children as soon as possible." Jiang Yu said earnestly.
Jiang Shu was still a little shy when she first went through human affairs: "Mom, I just got married, how could it be so fast?"
"I'm just letting you have some snacks. No matter how well the prince treats you, you still need to have a child by your side. Furthermore, if the prince treats you well, you should do more for him."
Jiang's mother was worried that with Yu Zheng's status, he would definitely have concubines as concubines in the future, so Jiang Shu must give birth to his eldest son first.
You must not suffer the same losses again.
Jiang Shu was not an ignorant girl. She understood everything Jiang's mother said. She pursed her lips and said seriously: "I understand, but this kind of thing cannot be rushed. I can only let nature take its course. If it happens, I will give birth to it well."
"As long as you know what's going on." Mother Jiang felt relieved.
Jiang Shuming had only been away from home for two or three days, but Jiang's mother felt that she had been gone for a long time, and she had endless things to say in her heart.
After all the necessary instructions were given, Jiang's mother asked about the situation of entering the palace to pay respects.
"Is the Holy Lady happy with you?"
Jiang Shu nodded: "I thought that with my status, I would be despised and criticized, and even if I didn't do well, I would be given a few words of advice. But my father, the emperor, my mother and my concubine are kind and kind, but..."
"It's just what?" Jiang's mother's heart skipped a beat.
Jiang Shu said: "Just let me hold on tighter."
When Jiang's mother heard this, she understood instantly, and then smiled and said: "This is what it should be. As parents, we all have the same heart."
"It's good for them to be tolerant to you, so your father and I will feel relieved."
Previously, when Jiang Shu married into the Jing'an Marquis Mansion, she was still under the control of her husband's family, and would be scolded and disciplined if she made the slightest mistake. Now that she is marrying into the royal family, Mother Jiang is worried.
But what surprised her was that the emperor's concubine was very tolerant to Jiang Shu, which made her relieved.
"I'm fine. Mom and Dad don't have to worry about me. It's normal to take good care of yourself." Jiang Shu held Jiang's mother's hand, feeling a little sad when she thought about not being able to be with her parents all the time in the future.
Jiang's mother did not abandon her, but she also knew that it was natural for her children to grow up and start a family. It was a happy event. She suppressed her sobs and comforted her: "There are many servants in the house, and Ning'er is here. We are very good, so don't worry."
"And the prince also said that you can come back from time to time. We can also go to the prince's palace if we miss you."
"Yes." Jiang Shu responded with slightly hot eyes and held back the tears.
The mother and daughter chatted for a while, and then a servant came to report that the banquet was ready.
"Let's go and see how they are doing in battle." Mother Jiang stood up, and the mother and daughter walked to the front hall with a smile.
"It's my turn, it's my turn. You've already played several games, and it's my turn." Jiang's father used his cane to catch Jiang Ning and ask him to give way.
Jiang Ning said unwillingly: "I haven't done enough yet. I still have many questions to ask."
Yu Zheng picked up the chess pieces and watched them argue.
Jiang's father's temperament is somewhat similar to that of the emperor. When Yu Zheng faces Jiang's father, he feels as if he is facing his father.
Therefore, Yu Zheng did not feel embarrassed or bored when getting along with Jiang's father, Jiang Ning, and was very calm and natural.
"What are you fighting about?" Mother Jiang entered the room and asked in confusion.
They were still outside the hall just now when they heard an argument in the hall.
After asking the father and son why they were arguing, the mother and daughter couldn't laugh or cry.
"Okay, there's no need to fight. The table is ready. Let's eat first."
"Let's go, husband." Jiang Shu walked over and pulled Yu Zheng up with a smile.
After more than half a year of recuperation, Father Jiang's legs have mostly recovered and he can now walk short distances with a cane.
The family went to the flower hall to have lunch together under the flowers.
The maid poured wine for several people, and Jiang's father introduced: "This wine is the osmanthus wine brewed by Jiangji Winery. It goes well with winter. The prince will like it after trying it."
Hearing these familiar words, Yu Zheng's dark eyes flashed slightly, he picked up the wine glass and sniffed it, and gave Jiang Shu a meaningful look.
Jiang Shu instantly remembered the time she gave Yu Zheng osmanthus wine last year. Thinking about it now, it felt like a lifetime ago.
A year later, the same drink, the same people, but their relationship is different.
"How is it?" Father Jiang asked Yu Zheng expectantly, not knowing the origin.
Yu Zheng swallowed the wine in his throat and nodded: "It is mellow and soft, with a long-lasting fragrance and a slight sweetness. It is indeed very suitable for warming up in winter."
Jiang Shu: "..." These words sounded really familiar.
"Don't just drink, eat the vegetables first." Mother Jiang gave Father Jiang a chicken leg.
Jiang Shu followed suit and got one for Yu Zheng.
Jiang Ning stretched out the bowl: "What about me? Doesn't anyone care about me?"
Jiang's mother, Jiang Shu, glanced at Jiang Ning, and at the same time gave Jiang Ning a chicken leg and put it in his bowl.
"Is it enough? If not, I'll give it to you." Mother Jiang asked angrily.
Jiang Ning gnawed on the chicken leg and said, "No, I want to keep my stomach for something else."
Several people couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
