The reborn son cursed his mother, bah, she heard it all

When we arrived outside the mansion, most of the carriages from various families had left.

Jiang Ying looked back and saw that Jiang Shang finally came out with Luo and Jiang Yilin.

The father and daughter's eyes met, and Jiang Shang felt a little embarrassed, "Yingying, father saw that you were well protected by your brothers, so..."

"Father, there is no need to explain. The grace of giving birth and raising me are equally precious. If you still want to love your sister in the future, just do it. I won't have any objection." Jiang Ying interrupted him.

How should I put it? She is not the kind of person who is greedy for these things.

What's more, Jiang Shang's behavior is normal. Otherwise, if he abandoned Jiang Yilin and divorced Luo right away, wouldn't that be too hard-hearted?

Anyway, no one in the Jiang family is hard-hearted.

And he thought that keeping Jiang Yilin in the Duke's Mansion was good for her? I'm afraid that the homecoming banquet in the afternoon would only be the beginning of Jiang Yilin's pain!

"Yingying, come and ride in the same carriage with grandma." The old lady stood on the edge of the carriage and waved to her granddaughter.

That doting look made the people around who had not yet left envious.

Su Yilan was also frightened just now. After coming out to relax for a while, she had recovered. Seeing this, she whispered to the maid, "This is really powerful. Even the imperial decree can postpone the marriage. We should be careful next time."

The maid kept nodding her head, "Young lady is right. I was frightened by the way she beat Miss Meng before, and my legs are still weak now."

"In the past, Jiang Yilin was the center of attention wherever she appeared. But now, she is silent like a shadow in the shadow." Su Yilan noticed Jiang Yilin who was standing next to Luo.

Hearing this, the maid Songlan's eyes flashed with suspicion, and she lowered her voice, "That person, I think he is not an easy person to deal with. Miss, don't you know that the person standing with Miss Meng before she went crazy was exactly this fake daughter of the Duke's Mansion."

In a flash, Su Yilan seemed to have understood something.

But she didn't mind her own business, and quickly pulled the maid into the carriage, "If you are not sure, don't go out and say anything, otherwise your life may be lost quietly one day."

Song Lan closed her mouth tightly, determined to keep the matter to herself.

……

"Everyone, today has been full of unexpected events, and everything is going wrong. My daughter's wedding to Prince Yan has been postponed. After careful consideration, I have decided to move the homecoming banquet this afternoon to tomorrow at 9:00 p.m. At that time, I sincerely invite you all to come and witness my daughter's return to her ancestral home!"

Jiang Shang stood on the carriage and spoke loudly.

Everyone was stunned at first, and then agreed readily, "Okay, okay, Duke Jiang is so polite, and he even took care of us this time... Well, let's not talk about it. I, Yue Xuanfeng, will definitely attend the banquet on time tomorrow!"

"Pei has prepared all the gifts and will definitely be there to congratulate Duke Jiang on his return of his daughter."

"Don't worry, Lord Jiang, we will all be there. Congratulations to Lord Jiang on having a wonderful daughter!"

Everyone present agreed readily, even though they were a little exhausted after having just experienced a fierce battle with insects and ants.

After all, Jiang Shang was already a true general who led an army and had the hereditary title of Duke. Moreover, judging from the emperor's willingness to change the imperial edict, the Jiang family was still favored.

The daughter he had just found had diagnosed Concubine Chen with twins, a boy and a girl, and she would soon enter the palace to take care of the pair of children that the Emperor was extremely looking forward to.

As long as things go well, the Jiang family's glory will probably reach even higher.

Who wouldn't want to befriend the Jiang family at this time? Not to mention that he was just scared and could recover in one night. Even if he broke his leg, he had to go with a cane!

Jiang Shang was very happy to hear this. He bowed to thank everyone and then rode forward with great force.

He was determined to hold a grand banquet for his daughter's return home.

And it wasn't because he was not used to riding in a carriage, it was because Jiang Yilin and Luo were in the carriage, and Jiang Shang didn't want to quarrel with his first wife repeatedly, nor did he want to listen to his adopted daughter crying, so he chose to ride a horse.

In the car at the back, Jiang Ying held the child and leaned on the old lady's shoulder, "Grandma, it's great, I finally don't have to get married for the time being."

If Yan Zhuo had anticipated this result from the beginning, would she have deliberately publicized her medical skills?

Jiang Ying didn’t know the answer, and she was too lazy to delve into it.

The old lady touched her head and said, "Okay, if you don't want to get married, then we won't. After all, there is still a year left, and the emperor didn't ask you to hand over the child."

Hearing this, Jiang Ying hugged the child tightly and said, "Hand him over? That's impossible! I will raise my own child myself!"

She will enter the palace in two days. Even if the emperor wants to make temporary arrangements for the child, Jiang Ying is sure that he can give up this idea.

……

In the palace.

The Imperial Guards protected the emperor and his concubine and went straight back to the Yuntai Palace.

The emperor stayed by her side for half an hour, and only when Concubine Chen was no longer feeling unwell did he tuck in the quilt for her and let her go.

Yan Zhuo and the commander of the Royal Guards, Yun Yi, were outside.

"Let's go, don't disturb my beloved concubine's sleep here." The emperor waved his hand.

Yan Zhuo's expression was normal. He certainly knew that the emperor valued Concubine Chen. Oh no, it should be said that he valued Concubine Chen's baby.

Men in the Yan family value offspring, this has almost become an iron rule!

Because many men in the Yan family only have one or two children in their lifetime, it would be useless no matter how many concubines they marry, so he was so determined to have Jiang Ying's child from the beginning.

I just never thought that something like this would lead to the current situation.

"Yun Yi, go and investigate what's going on with those snakes, insects, rats and ants in the Prince Qin's Mansion. Maybe someone wants to assassinate me or is trying to harm Concubine Chen's pregnancy." The emperor gave the order and after sending away the unnecessary people, he sighed and leaned back on the couch. He was very tired today.

Yan Zhuo stepped forward and took the hot tea that Eunuch Huang had just brewed.

"Your Majesty, have some tea." He said dryly, but his eyes were full of many meanings.

How could the emperor not see it? He took the tea and drank a few sips slowly, then raised the corners of his lips and smiled, "Brother Zhuo, brother Zhuo, I think you like Miss Jiang Ying, not just because of the child she gave birth to for you, right?"

Among all his brothers in the royal family, Yan Zhuo was the one he valued and admired the most.

He is extremely capable and intelligent. If he hadn't accidentally injured his hand a few years ago, he would definitely be able to do more things for him now!

He trusted Yan Zhuo, and the relationship between them was much closer than that between his other cousins.

The most important thing is, Yan Zhuo told him about his relationship with the Jiang family, and he was actually... Hahahaha, this incident made him laugh for many days.

"Your Majesty, please laugh as much as you can. After you're done laughing, please explain to me why you did that!" Yan Zhuo was sulking and didn't want to go anywhere. He just stood in front of the emperor.

The emperor wanted to laugh even more when he saw this, thinking that this cold-faced devil would eventually be controlled by a woman!

"Why? A forced melon is not sweet, brother Zhuo."

Yan Zhuo said coldly, "Grow more melons in the melon field. Take good care of them and they will naturally become sweet."

The emperor was speechless.

But he had already agreed, so there was no reason to regret it. He tried to comfort her, "Don't be impatient. I did this for a reason. I didn't want to put too much pressure on the Jiang family. Besides, Concubine Chen's pregnancy is the most important thing. Besides, you are usually in the palace. If I marry her, I won't be able to see her every day as long as she is close to me. Didn't I ask you before, do you want her body or both body and soul? What did you answer?"

Yan Zhuo stopped talking, and a blush appeared on his ears.

The emperor smiled like an experienced person, "That's it. Women are soft-hearted and don't take hardship. You still have a lot to learn from me! But I think that the Jiang family's biological daughter and adopted daughter each have their own charm. The biological daughter Jiang Ying was just a village girl, but she dared to drug you and left you behind after the incident. I doubt if she just wanted to find someone to have a child with. As for Jiang Yilin, tsk, she looks so pitiful that it makes people want to see her even more miserable. If I wasn't worried about the concubine being unhappy, I would have wanted to take her into the palace!"

"Okay, I have something to do at home, so I'll leave first." Yan Zhuo was too lazy to listen to the emperor's love story.

The emperor knew his character, a rare infatuated man, so he didn't say anything, but only mentioned, "The Jiang family's daughter-recognition banquet has been moved to tomorrow. I will ask Eunuch Huang to deliver a big gift."

Even if it wasn't for Yan Zhuo, for the sake of his own children and the throne, he had to win over the Jiang family.

Upon hearing this, Yan Zhuo thanked him and left the hall. Standing on the high steps, he let out a long sigh.

What should I do with her...

-

The inofficial hospitality provided by the Qinwang Palace really caught all the officials and nobles in the capital off guard.

Even after returning home, there were still cries of frightened people in the backyard.

The old man was comforting his wife, daughter and young son, but he was furious. The imperial censor had already prepared a memorial and planned to make a strong complaint to the king in the court the day after tomorrow.

Prince Qin had anticipated this, but he had no time to deal with Tong, so he immediately found someone to clean up the house and prepare gifts for the homecoming banquet tomorrow.

Thinking of the emperor's regard for Jiang Ying, who was also his future daughter-in-law, the king ordered the housekeeper, "Prepare more. The two mansions are relatives, and we can't let others outdo us."

The steward hesitated to speak.

Prince Qin frowned, "Why? My words are useless? Or without Tong Shi, you can't even prepare a gift?"

He was busy outside these years, and the inner house was left to Tong to take care of. Everything was fine at first, but he never expected that it was just a superficial appearance!

This time he moved directly to the villa and was determined to clean out the palace thoroughly. It would be fine if he found nothing strange, but if he did, his relationship with Tong would be over!

The butler's voice trembled, "The princess has already sent a betrothal gift to the Jiang family. According to the rules, she gave 120 loads. As a result, the wedding date was postponed. I don't know what to do with the betrothal gift."

King Qin glared at him, "What are you dealing with? The marriage was postponed, not cancelled. It will be used sooner or later."

"But as far as I know, when the prince was not aware of Miss Jiang's identity, he wanted to take her as a concubine, so he personally sent 120 dan of betrothal gifts to Yuhui Cottage. Now, whether it is the prince's wife or the concubine, it is all Miss Jiang, so the total amount is a full 240 dan. Now the prince has asked us to prepare a heavy gift again. Isn't this... too eye-catching?"

King Qin was not averse to this for a moment, but glanced at the butler.

"You want to settle accounts with me, is it because you have no money in your account?" He had a hunch that Tong Shi might not only take people's lives lightly, but also do many things he didn't know about.

Thinking of this, King Qin no longer trusted the housekeeper and asked someone else to check the accounts carefully.

The expenditure of a government office was so long, and it lasted for more than 20 years. It took until the next morning to get a result. "My Lord, the princess's miscellaneous expenses are nearly 100,000 taels."

"One hundred thousand taels!" Prince Qin was stunned, and his beautiful beard tilted to one side in anger.

The subordinates in charge of checking the accounts were also shocked. One hundred thousand taels of silver was enough to feed the disaster victims in a town or county for a whole year!

But things have already happened, and King Qin has no choice but to accept the reality.

Send someone to arrest the housekeeper first, and deal with the others after everything is clear. He gritted his teeth and said, "No, you can't save money on the gift from the Duke's Mansion. You should prepare as you should. I will find a way."

Who could have imagined that a prince would have to worry about money!

……

In the blink of an eye, the night passed.

It was still dark in the Duke's Mansion, and servants and masters in every place had almost woken up to prepare for today's grand banquet.

Even the old lady woke up very early, but she told Yin Shuang not to wake Jiang Ying so early, "Ying Ying sometimes gets up at night to feed the baby. She doesn't sleep well to begin with. Call her later."

So when Jiang Ying got up at about seven o'clock and finished cleaning up, customers had already started to arrive.

Her dress was personally arranged by the old lady, and was extremely exquisite. She wore a pink and white butterfly flower skirt, a crabapple red satin jacket with red gold thread, and double-sided embroidered shoes. The color combination was very high-profile.

She wore a complete set of jewel accessories on her forehead, neck, hair and hands. They were made of pure white jade, and were extremely unique.

Jiang Ying's figure is impeccable. She has been taking care of herself for the past six months. Even without makeup, she is already very pretty. Now she is comparable to Chang'e in the Moon Palace, with a beautiful appearance and the most beautiful woman among all!

It was still a little chilly in the early morning of April, so Yinping took out a fragrant apricot jacquard cloak, which was light on the outside and dark on the inside, creating an artistic sense of layering.

[Wow~ Mommy is so beautiful today! ]

[She really looks like a beauty that walked out of a painting! ]

Xiao Yanzhi exclaimed sincerely, his pair of black grape-like eyes almost staring straight ahead.

Several beauties nearby were looking at her, covering their mouths and laughing, but in fact, Xiao Yanzhi was not the only one who was stunned, there was no one in the room who was not stunned by her beauty!

It’s just that other people are adults after all, and their reactions are faster than children.

Little Yanzhi also suffered the pain of having a baby's body.

[Mother, give me a kiss, a hug and lift me up high~] Little Yan Zhi didn't want to leave Jiang Ying for even a second.

Nanny Tang smiled and said, "Miss Di, you won't hold the young master today. You have to go to the gate to welcome the guests. I've taken a look and found that those who can truly rival our Duke's Mansion have not arrived yet."

"We have to go and welcome her, and let our Yingying show off. Not only the nobles in the capital, but also the common people and farmers should know that the Duke's Mansion's first daughter has been replaced."

As a lady of the first rank, Lian was basically the most honorable one at any banquet except the palace banquet.

Since she was hosting the banquet at home, she didn't have to go through the trouble of welcoming the guests herself, but today, for the sake of her granddaughter, she still showed up in person.

Jiang Ying was a little embarrassed, and the old lady patted her hands, "Don't worry about grandma getting tired, grandma is in much better shape now, so standing for a while won't be a problem. As for me, I want to see our Yingying shine."
