The population of Changping Marquis Mansion is not considered prosperous.
The Marquis of Changping had one wife and five concubines. Except for his main wife, Mrs. Xiao, who had a son, and a concubine, the others were all girls.
Cai Xinghui, Xiao's eldest son, is forty-one years old this year. He is married to Prince Qian's eldest daughter and is the son-in-law of Prince Qian's palace.
The eldest daughter of King Qian is thirty-seven years old this year. She has been married to the Marquis of Changping for twenty years and has given birth to two sons and one daughter.
The two sons have already married, leaving the youngest daughter to be married.
The son begets grandsons, and the grandsons beget great-great-grandsons, plus servants who serve the master.
The Changping Marquis Mansion's team should be quite large, but I don't know why they followed them.
"Princess, please put on another cloak." Hongmei took a cloak and chased after her.
Xia Jing didn't feel cold at all. The late night wind felt a little chilly on her body but not cold.
In order not to let down the maids, she still put it on.
Arriving at the entrance of the village, Xia Jing noticed the woman standing next to King Qian.
Similarly, the woman next to King Qian also noticed Xia Jing.
Aunt Sun suppressed the smile at the corner of her mouth with her handkerchief and greeted Xia Jing softly, "I wish my sister good night. It's so late and my sister hasn't slept peacefully yet, so she came out to greet the guests?"
Xia Jing rolled her eyes inwardly, wasn't she just trying to mock her for being so lonely?
In fact, it’s quite annoying to be provoked by such a ‘love rival’ every day.
King Qian heard the movement behind him and turned around, "Why are you out?"
After listening to the words of these scumbags and a bitch, Xia Jing realized that she was well-behaved by not losing her temper.
"What do you think my concubine means when you hear this is that I am an eyesore? What? The country has not yet been broken, and you treat the rules as if they are nothing?"
King Qian frowned, suppressed his displeasure and asked, "What's wrong with you, my king? It's like a firecracker when you open your mouth."
Xia Jing glanced at Aunt Sun's proud eyes and raised her chin, "Prince Qian's palace did not invite the mistress of the house to welcome guests, but instead brought out a concubine who was not worthy of being on stage. You think you have a good relationship with Marquis Changping.
Is it better to have some dissatisfaction?"
No serious wealthy family would bring a concubine out to entertain guests, let alone a royal relative.
Whoever lets a concubine come out to entertain the female family members is not hospitality, it is an insult to the status of the guest, and it is an attempt to enmity.
Of course, Xia Jing didn't want to target Mrs. Sun, why should a woman embarrass a woman, but this woman always liked to jump in front of her from time to time, which was a bit annoying.
She had no choice but to press down hard whenever she jumped.
King Qian turned around and noticed Aunt Sun standing behind him, as if he had just noticed her, and said slightly surprised, "I didn't ask you to stay in the house, why are you here? I really don't know, this is a place where you can stay?"
"
Aunt Sun's proud expression just faded away, and shock appeared on her face. She didn't expect that the prince would change his face so quickly and would humiliate her in front of the princess!
"Why are you stunned? Go back quickly!" King Qian motioned to the maid to help her go back.
Xia Jing noticed the tense cheeks of Li Chengli, the third eldest brother, who was standing between the brothers. She must have clenched her teeth.
She learned from her memory that the third son of a concubine usually spoke less and had pretty good abilities. He had been taking care of the palace's general affairs since they got married.
For a person who talks little, I really can’t figure out his temperament for a while.
Xia Jing didn't pay too much attention to this 'son'. The seniority of the two was here. In today's feudal society where filial piety is paramount, Xia Jing's confrontation with him was obviously a dimensionality reduction attack.
As for those coming from behind, Xia Jing is not even afraid!
Her eyes crossed over to King Qian who was standing next to him. His huge body made his presence too strong.
"Why is Marquis Changping here?"
King Qian turned around and found Xia Jing squinting at him, and realized that this woman was talking to him.
Looking at the woman standing in the wind, he rarely answered patiently, "On the night of the melee, they got separated from Emperor Huiyuan. After many twists and turns, they found a lot of wheel marks on the road. They searched all the way and found out it was us, so they sent a messenger here first.
Deliver the letter."
After all, with the title of Marquis Changping, a prince would come to greet him in person. I am standing here tonight mostly because of his eldest daughter, and I want Marquis Changping to see how much he values his eldest daughter.
.
To put it bluntly, it’s just to save face for the eldest daughter!
Xia Jing: "Then they want to follow us on their next journey?"
"Probably so."
Hearing this ambiguous answer, Xia Jing felt that trouble was coming, "Are they going to Lingnan with us?"
"This" King Qian paused slightly, "We haven't met yet, so I don't know the plans of Marquis Changping."
It's rare for two nominally married couples to stand together and talk calmly.
While chatting, on the dark mountain road in the distance, a fire dragon that stretched for several miles was winding its way.
When Xia Jing saw that the fire dragon was missing its head and tail, she immediately felt a headache and felt that her retirement life seemed to be getting further and further away from her.
Otherwise, would she still act like a loser?
Sure enough, when the convoy arrived at the entrance of the village, Marquis Changping and his family got off the carriage. After everyone exchanged greetings, Xia Jing realized that the convoy was not only Marquis Changping's family, but also Marquis Changping's daughter and son-in-law, the Crown Prince of Changping, Cai Xinghui, and the eldest son of Prince Qian.
Daughter and son-in-law of Li Chengxian.
With several families coming together, it's no wonder that the fire dragon has its head but not its tail.
Mrs. Xiao, the Marquis of Changping, and Princess Yuan Qian were relatives and acquaintances. They usually had many opportunities to meet at parties, but this was the first time she met Xia Jing, who came back alive after the funeral.
Faced with Mrs. Xiao's cryptic look, Xia Jing acted as if she didn't know anything and was just blindly looking at him. She could look at him if she wanted to.
After welcoming them into the village, the management will naturally arrange the rest.
When she woke up the next day, she was told that the team would not set off until noon. Xia Jing rolled around on the couch, closed her eyes and fell asleep again.
When I woke up again, the sun had risen and it was almost noon.
After the meal, Xia Jing wanted to go out and walk around in the yard to eat, but before she could go out, she heard crying from outside.
"What's going on outside? Who is crying? Which man is crying so loudly? I'll go and have a look." Hongmei was surprised, she rarely saw men cry.
"Let's go together!" Xia Jing already knew who was crying outside through mental exploration. She was bored after dinner, so she went to join in the fun.
"Father, my son is incompetent. The good Yu Dynasty is now full of holes, and the people are in dire straits. It's because I failed to protect our Li Dynasty. I am the sinner!"
Even the late emperor moved out. Changping Hou was so anxious that his forehead was covered with sweat. "My lord, don't blame yourself. It's all your fault. I shouldn't mention those old things, and I shouldn't impose responsibilities on you.
I deserve death for my crime!"
"What's going on?" When Xia Jing arrived, she saw two grown men kneeling on the ground crying bitterly. She was confused for a moment. What kind of fun was this?
"My princess!" King Qian heard Xia Jing's voice and rushed toward her.
Xia Jing moved a few steps to the side, allowing King Qian to pounce directly into the air.
King Qian's cry paused slightly, and he kowtowed in the direction of the capital, "The past few years have been difficult for the court. There has been a severe drought for three years from north to south. The people have had no harvest, foreign enemies have invaded, internal troubles have continued, and natural and man-made disasters have occurred."
One after another, the emperor had to deal with many things day by day, and became sick from overwork. As a first-class prince, I should advance and retreat with the emperor and the Yu Dynasty. However, Beidi moved south and Xirong invaded. I am worried that the southern barbarians will also be unrest! "
Marquis Changping, who was kneeling next to him, nodded frequently when he heard the words, obviously agreeing with King Qian's words.
