The Jinjiang system is anti-theft, and the latest update can only be seen if the proportion of VIP chapters purchased is more than 40%

Princess Xia is the step-concubine of King Jiang Chengwei of Shu and the biological mother of Jiang Yu, the third son of King of Shu.

The king of Shu has three sons, all of whom are direct descendants. The eldest son, Jiang Min, and the second son, Jiang Jue, were both descended from the King of Shu’s deceased original wife, the concubine Min, who died in childbirth. When Jiang Min was eight years old, he was named the Prince of Shu, and was sent to Beijing to be raised in the palace at the same time.

When Jiang Jue was one year old, the king of Shu continued to marry the current princess Xia, and within a year, he gave birth to his third son, Jiang Yu.

Jiang Jue was also brought up by the Xia clan, so Jiang Jue almost regarded Xia clan as his biological mother and had a very good relationship with his younger brother Jiang Yu.

Especially Jiang Yu was picked up by the palace when he was four years old and raised in the palace. He only returns to Shu for one or two months every year. The second son of the Shu King, Jiang Yu, has been raised by Princess Xia. It's just Jue, so the relationship between Jiang Jue and Princess Xia is even deeper. I heard that Princess Xia treats Jiang Jue better than the parent-child Jiang Yu.

Princess Xia was born to be stunning, but the strange thing is that the king of Shu did not dote on Princess Xia very much. He has had several favorite concubines and concubines, but he can only be regarded as respectful to Princess Xia. But she was never fond of her, and even Princess Xia lived alone in a palace, and the King of Shu rarely set foot there.

But don't think that Princess Xia has no status in the palace of Shu. There was once a concubine who was rightly favored and arrogant. She provoked Princess Xia. And died, the eldest daughter of the county magistrate Rouyi who was quite favored in front of the king of Shu was born. No matter how the county magistrate of Rouyi interceded for his biological mother, he could not make the king of Shu change his mind at all.

After that, no concubine or concubine dared to provoke Princess Xia directly.

Princess Xia has an easy-going and gentle temperament and is not difficult to get along with. She summoned the Chen family this day, but she just heard that the Bai family was planning to go to Beijing, so she called Chen to ask them about their preparations for going to Beijing, and specially prepared a letter to let Chen and When Jingshu arrived in Beijing, she took a letter and went to visit her eldest daughter-in-law, Zhong Shi, the concubine of the Prince of Shu.

Prince Concubine Zhong is also the daughter of an aristocratic family in Shu. Princess Xia grew up watching her. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is very good, but after the marriage of Zhong and the prince, they also went to Jiang Min, the prince of Beijing.

Princess Xia said: "Princess Shizi grew up in Shuzhong since she was a child, and I'm afraid she is not used to it in Beijing. It's just that this child is stable and never speaks out. You can go there and tell her often. Speak to relieve nostalgia.”

Although Mrs. Chen was quite surprised that Princess Xia took care of her so much, she also knew that this was Princess Xia's good intentions to flatter her. With her own identity, it would not be easy to communicate with people in the early days of Beijing, but with the care of the Prince of Shu. , Even if it was just a little contact, everyone would look at her highly, so Busy thanked Princess Xia very gratefully.

Princess Xia just smiled lightly, and turned her eyes to Jing Shu, who had been sitting silently beside her.

Although she has been talking to Chen Shi just now, she has been paying attention to Jing Shu's movements secretly. She really did not expect that this little girl would have such a level of determination at such a young age. There is no restraint, nor does it make people feel rigid, and her demeanor is that of a first-class noble girl from a noble family in Beijing.

This can't help but make her a little secretly surprised. It's no wonder that Yu'er looks at her differently. Not to mention her beautiful and beautiful appearance at a young age, she still has a very contradictory temperament, which makes people involuntarily suffer from it. absorb.

Princess Xia asked softly, "Has Miss Bai ever been to Beijing before?"

Jing Shu got up and replied, "Hui Wangfei's mother said that the minister and daughter also visited the capital a few years ago when his father returned to Beijing to report his work, and lived in Beijing for a period of time."

Princess Xia nodded and called her to sit next to her, then she said, "Well, are you still used to living in Beijing? I'm the exact opposite of you. I grew up in Beijing when I was young, and I didn't get married until I married the prince. When you arrive in Shuzhong, you are not used to the food in Shuzhong at first, so you should ask your mother to prepare more cooks to bring to the capital, otherwise it will be really hard when you want to eat.”

Speaking of this, he smiled and said, "Our prince concubine brought a lot of cooks to Beijing, and there are several chefs of all kinds of dim sum. When you want to eat, go to the palace of the king of Shu in Beijing with the prince. Go please."

Jing Shu was not polite, she just pursed her lips and said with a smile: "That servant girl is really lucky, I heard that the concubine Shizi is the best at cooking and gourmet food, and the desserts her cook makes are probably not eaten by me even in the middle of Shu. obtained."

Chen Shi was a little frightened and a little helpless, and said: "This child dares to respond to the harassment of the concubine for the sake of food."

Princess Xia smiled, she patted Jingshu's hand, turned her head and said to Chen Shi: "You don't have to be polite, Amin likes to share food with her the most, and having such a lovely child to accompany her to talk, she I'm afraid I don't know how happy I am."

Zhong Min is the boudoir name of the queen concubine.

Everyone joked and laughed for a while, but they were just casually chatting about family affairs. When Mrs. Chen saw it was late, she was afraid that Princess Xia would be delayed, so she got up and said goodbye.

At this time, Princess Xia said to Jingshu: "Miss Bai, what else do you want to tell me?"

Jing Shu was a little stunned. She didn't expect Princess Xia to have such a strong ability to see people. She always wanted to find an opportunity to inquire about the original family in Beidi with Princess Xia, but it was difficult to interrupt the conversation at will, but she didn't expect Princess Xia to Take the initiative to ask.

Jing Shu was busy and respectful and said with some anxiety: "Niangniang, the minister and daughter have something to inquire about..."

Speaking of this, she saw Princess Xia's eyes with a smile and encouragement, and she didn't mean to blame, and continued, "The little girl heard that the wife of the original family in Beidi and the empress are old acquaintances. Does the maiden have news about the Yuan family in Beidi?"

Chen shi had never heard her daughter talk about this. At this time, she was shocked when she suddenly opened up to ask Princess Xia for news, and she was very worried that the princess blamed her daughter for being abrupt.

Jing Shu also knew that she was taking the liberty, but she had already thought of various ways in private to inquire about the whereabouts of the original family. Going to the capital, she didn't want to miss this might be the only opportunity.

But Princess Xia obviously didn't blame her, she was rather happy, but instead of answering Jing Shu directly, she looked at the little girl with round eyes, a little nervous and looking forward to her answer, and asked with a smile Said: "The Yuan family is a well-known medical family in the north. Is there something wrong with Miss Bai looking for the Yuan family?"

Jing Shu glanced at her mother Chen Shi and replied to Princess Xia: "Yes, the minister heard that the doctor of the Yuan family in Beidi is best at conditioning her constitution. The mother of the younger daughter has been troubled by heat all year round, so she would like to invite the doctor from the original family. Help my mother to have a diagnosis and treatment."

Chen was both moved and frightened when she heard this. This child has been following a demon these days and has been trying to help him find a doctor, but...

Chen shi shook his head helplessly, and hurriedly pleaded guilty to Princess Xia: "Niangniang, this child only cares about the courtier's wife, so she will ask each other suddenly, and I hope the mother-in-law will not blame her. It's just that the minister's wife's body has been aged for many years. The problem is gone, the court lady has long since given up hope, and the empress should ignore her."

Princess Xia said with a gentle smile: "Miss Bai is so filial, how can I blame me. Speaking of which, I did receive some news about this Yuan family. A few days ago, Huaizhi sent a letter to me and told me that I had received the Yuan family and planned to send them. Come to our land in Shu, counting the days, it will be almost there in a few days. When they settle down and ask their opinions, I will send someone to invite you to come and see how?"

Huaizhi is Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu, courtesy name Huaizhi.

Jing Shu was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down with her mother to thank Princess Xia.

Princess Xia personally pulled her up again, comforted her a few words, and said a few words very kindly, and then took a jasper ring from the tray held by the maid beside, saying it was for Jing Shu As a gift, I personally put Jingshu on the **** of her left hand, and told her that this was a blessing from Grandmaster Guangling in Beijing. The Prince and Concubine of Shu also recognized it, so she must carry it with her and not remove it.

Jing Shu saw that although the ring was small, its shape was exquisite. The inlaid jasper was like a drop of clear water, and it was actually blessed by Master Guangling. Not daring to refuse, the respectful Princess Ren Xia helped to put it on, and then she and her mother left with the attendant who escorted them out.

When Jingshu and her mother left, Princess Xia smiled and turned to a middle-aged female official behind her, "Mother, what do you think of this child?"

The aunt said: "At a young age, he has been calm and generous, he has progressed and retreated in moderation, and is filial and sincere. What is even more rare is that although he clearly knows his identity, he still strives for the people who are important to him. He is indeed a rare good boy."

Princess Xia smiled, and then said: "Although I also think she is a good person, mainly because of her good temperament, but it is not as exaggerated as you say, you will not be bribed by Yu'er to be a lobbyist for him. right?"

Mummy couldn't help laughing when she heard this. In fact, Princess Xia's face was gentle and easy to speak, but her actual temperament was very firm, and she had her own standards for looking at people. Can be shaken? The third son naturally knew his mother and concubine very well, how to bribe someone and be a lobbyist, this is just the princess joking.

Princess Xia slowly withdrew her smile at this time and sighed in a low voice: "Yu'er has struggled since childhood, and his hobbies are difficult to reveal. He never asks me for anything, and I can never help him. Well, as long as he likes it, I will try my best to help him. However, it is rare for him to be so diligent."

Because she knows her son too well, she has nothing to worry about.

Wen Yuhan only thought that Jing Shu cared about them, so she didn't hold back.

In front of Jingshu, Wen Yuhan used to be concerned about the pride and restraint of some young girls and would not talk about her own embarrassment and difficulties, but since Jingshu and her eldest brother got married, she gradually found that she told Jingshu some hardships, After I can get a lot of benefits, either overt or dark, I no longer cover it up completely, but subconsciously carefully calculate and measure it, and then pick and choose to say it.

In the beginning, I may feel a little uncomfortable, but because Jingshu has always known people, she usually only mentions it briefly, and Jingshu will follow her words and do to provide some It's a very substantive grant, and the attitude is natural and simple. It seems that Jing Shu herself is willing to give it, and it will not make people feel embarrassed or benefited.

Wen Yuhan took it for granted after a long time.

Wen Yuhan felt that perhaps those things that were not worth mentioning to Bai Jingshu or a little effort, but to her or the Wen family, they might be very longing and important things.

Wen Yuhan frowned slightly and said slowly: "We don't know anyone in Kyoto, but I heard that the prices in Beijing are very expensive. My mother plans to save the ancestral house and the remaining ten acres of sacrifice fields. It is better to sell everything that can be sold at home, and it is better to raise more troubles, than to be poor in Beijing, when the time comes, my brother will be distracted by these common chores."

Speaking of this, she turned to Jing Shu and said, "Sister Shu, I heard that your grandfather and uncle are both officials in Beijing. Do you know something about prices in Beijing? My mother would like to know more about Beijing. How much money does it cost to rent a small yard? My mother thought, this is better than staying in an inn until then.

Jing Shu had been listening quietly before, without interjecting. At this time, when Wen Yuhan asked herself, she thought for a while, shook her head apologetically, and said, "Sister Wen, you know that I am in Shu. Born and raised, you don’t necessarily know more about Jingli than you, and even more smeared about these common affairs.”

Because Wen Yuhan was joking earlier, Jingshu was inconveniently different from the previous performance, as if she was refusing to be thousands of miles away, so she called Wen Yuhan as sister Wen.

Wen Yuhan sighed after listening to Jing Shu's words, and there was some sadness and sadness on her face.

For some reason, Jing Shu felt a little funny when she saw her appearance. She thought of her previous life, and she seemed to have specially called her nanny Lan to go to Wen's house and told Mrs. Wen some things in Beijing.

Then said: "Although there are old servants in the family who are from Beijing, but they have also been away from Beijing for more than ten years. I don't know if I remember what happened in the past. It’s different, if you let them mislead you, wouldn’t it make things worse?”

This is not entirely Jing Shu's pretext. More than a decade ago, the Zhou Dynasty was only a few years ago. After decades of war, the property was depressed and desolate everywhere.

In the past ten years, the new emperor has been diligent in government and caring for the people, and has widely implemented measures to promote business. Today's capital is indeed very different from that of the past.

This is obviously not the answer that Wen Yuhan expected, she frowned secretly, and turned to say with a look of sadness: "Sister Shu said the same, but I heard that Auntie still has some business in Beijing, and every year a steward comes over to talk to her. My aunt reported the future there, presumably my aunt should have some understanding of the prices in Beijing, if it is convenient for my sister, why not ask my aunt about it while chatting?"
