Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1146 Zhen Huan Enlarged to 72

What happened with the Third Prince soon spread throughout the entire Rehe Palace. Qingying had already given up her husband, so of course she would not take the initiative to cover up anything for the Third Prince. The Third Prince himself never thought of covering it up, so when the Jianqiu newspaper reported that the Third Prince might have had a fight with the Third Lady, Jiang Xinxin just thought she had heard it wrong.

"Hongshi doesn't look like the kind of person who gets impatient. Why would he fight with his wife?"

Having said that, Jiang Xinxin had actually already sentenced Hongshi to death in her heart. How could a man who beats a woman be a good person!

Jianqiu also found it hard to explain. "Since Fourth Prince serves diligently, doesn't it seem that Third Prince is not filial enough? Besides, when Concubine Qi insisted on marrying Princess Qingying as her daughter-in-law, wasn't it because she wanted to win your support through the relationship with the Ulanara family? Now that you are cold to Princess Qingying, it is impossible that Concubine Qi has no thoughts at all, and Third Prince values ​​the concubines below more..."

"There should be no fighting. After all, Princess Qingying still needs to go out for a walk. Even if the Third Prince is stupid, he would not fight with Princess Qingying at this time. But many people did see the Third Prince sweeping away a lot of porcelain fragments, which shows that the Third Prince really has something against Princess Qingying."

After talking for a while, Qingying's milk cake was also received. Jiang Xinxin was just about to send someone to check on the situation when she heard from the people below that Princess Qingying had come to offer food. Jiang Xinxin thought about it and decided to let someone in. Qingying was not yet Daru, and her mind was clear.

As soon as Qingying entered the room, she handed the food box in her hand to Jianqiu, turned around and saluted to Jiang Xinxin, saying "Greetings, Empress Mother". Jiang Xinxin did not make things difficult for her, but pointed to a stool for her to sit down.

Qingying took the initiative to find a conversation. She couldn't just come and leave today. "Your Highness, you must have been exhausted from the long journey. This milk cake tastes sweet and easy to digest. If you don't have an appetite for a proper meal, you might as well eat two pieces to make up for it."

Jianqiu had already brought out the milk cake on a pink cherry blossom high-foot plate, paired with Jintan Queshe.

Jiang Xinxin thought that the milk cake Qingying brought was the common method in the palace where milk was used instead of water and oil to make the dough. However, she didn't expect that the finished product looked like milk pudding. It really made her hungry after seeing it.

"This snack doesn't seem to be made in the palace. Is it new from Jiangnan?"

Seeing that Jiang Xinxin was interested in the milk cake, Qingying was very happy. She finally put down the heavy stone in her heart. She was afraid that Jiang Xinxin would still not give her any face. If she returned, she would really be bullied to death by the Third Prince, and she would not even be able to maintain the dignity of a legitimate wife in front of the concubines.

"The Empress Dowager is really well-informed. This method is indeed the way it is made in Jiangnan. Add a small amount of sugar to make it taste good, then add egg white and steam it. This will make a plate of delicate, smooth, and sweet milk cake."

Jianqiu and Jiang Xinxin looked at each other, and both felt that Qingying was too honest. If it were someone around the Fourth Prince, they would probably want to offer the recipe every day and would not be willing to say it out loud like that.

However, Jiang Xinxin did feel sorry for Qingying for meeting such an unreliable husband like Hongshi. Even though she was the one who facilitated this marriage, she couldn't help but look down on Hongshi's domineering behavior.

Jiang Xinxin did not keep Qingying for long, but Qingying left her place with a smile on her face, and the fact that the senior palace maid Jianqiu personally saw her off had already shown her attitude.

When the Third Prince saw that Qingying was able to hook up with Jiang Xinxin, his biological mother, although he felt that Qingying was useful, he did not bow to Qingying, not even in a softer attitude. Instead, he scolded Qingying even more harshly, trying to suppress Qingying with words and make her obey him.

It’s a pity that Qingying is not someone who is so easily fooled, nor is she someone who is so easily suppressed.

At first, even a maid like A Ruo looked down on the Third Prince's maternal family, the Li family, and also looked down on the Third Prince's biological mother, Concubine Qi. But the Third Prince could do nothing but get angry and throw things, so A Ruo looked down on the Third Prince himself even more.

How could Qingying take the Third Prince seriously when even A Ruo looked down on him?

Qingying is now just taking good care of her body. She is fifteen years old. Lady Nabul suggested that she should consider having children when she is older. So she set a goal for herself to have a child at the age of seventeen. Now she is slowly taking care of her body, just waiting to have a boy when she is seventeen.

As for the Third Prince's verbal suppression of her, she only needed a slight glance to make him furious, which made her look down on Concubine Qi and her son even more.

The Third Prince and his wife were having a very bad relationship, but Qingying still knew how to cover up for the Third Prince and herself, even though she couldn't hide it from Da Pangju. Da Pangju was still satisfied with Qingying as his daughter-in-law, and correspondingly felt that the Third Prince as his son was becoming increasingly unworthy.

In addition to making his presence felt in front of Jiang Xinxin and Dapangju on a daily basis, the Fourth Prince was really good to the princesses. Not only did he teach the princesses how to ride and shoot when he was in the palace in advance, but when they arrived at the grassland, he also did not forget to find someone to take them out for a walk. He also would not forget to share the prey he brought back with the elders. Even the Concubine Dowager thought that the Fourth Prince was a good guy.

"We old folks are used to the world, but it's not enough for the Fourth Prince to care about the sisters in front of him, but he also thought of buying gifts for the sisters who couldn't come out. This is really thoughtful."

Jiang Xinxin didn't comment too much. After all, the Fourth Prince was old enough to discuss marriage and could be considered an adult. Some things were hard to say. "He is indeed a thoughtful person. This is probably because he has been trained since he was a child without a mother to plan for him."

Jiang Xinxin changed the subject and did not continue talking with the concubine, but instead talked about the climate and environment in Mongolia. But as the saying goes, a wild goose leaves its voice behind when it passes by, what the Fourth Prince did would sooner or later reach Da Pangju's ears. As Da Pangju became more and more disappointed with the Third Prince, he became more and more satisfied with the Fourth Prince.

Jiang Xinxin did not forget the wool business she had prepared for. She went to Chaogui Princess with her husband and two nieces and niece-in-law to purchase wool in a big way. They carefully selected the wool without any impurities, and could buy a sack for ten cents.

The herders do not think that the price is too low. Instead, they are excited because they can sell the wool that they had specially processed in previous years. Even if they have cattle and sheep, not all herders can eat meat. They live more like slaves, only herding for their masters. At the end of the year, they may even owe money to their masters because of lost cattle and sheep. Their lives are very miserable.

Princess Chaogui and the two princesses also learned about the hardships of ordinary herdsmen and even servants on the grassland, and they also understood more and more why the Mongols always coveted the Central Plains.
