Chapter 19 Princess Chun Plans for Her Son's Future
Jiang Shijin's cheeks turned red all the way to her ears after hearing these words. Princess Qinghuan still didn't give her face as before. By speaking like this, wasn't she saying that she was not even as good as the cook in the mansion?

Tears welled up in her eyes and she clenched her teeth.

She couldn't understand why the elder sister Jiang Shiyuan, both daughters of the Jiang family, was so highly regarded by Princess Qinghuan that she was often invited to the princess's mansion for small gatherings, while she herself was still ridiculed even though she invited the princess and her mother-in-law to bring her to the house.

I felt so aggrieved for a moment.

Princess Qinghuan has a straightforward personality. She was brought up by the most noble people in the world since she was a child. Therefore, what she can't stand the most is people who are petty. When she saw Jiang Shijin's appearance, she thought of those concubines in the palace who pretended to be good and pitiful.

Suddenly, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he asked in a cold voice.

"The Crown Prince's wife, you look down on the hospitality of my princess's mansion, so you rush here to make trouble for me? Why are you crying?"

When she spoke, Princess Chun became somewhat dissatisfied.

She came to see Princess Qinghuan so early in the morning. Wasn't she still trying to ask for a job for her son?
But the princess refused to express her opinion no matter how she beat around the bush, and finally said such words. Seeing that her son had no chance of getting the job, Princess Chun took out her anger on her daughter-in-law and started to scold her.

"People from humble backgrounds have no manners. It seems like you have forgotten what I taught you a few days ago?"

Jiang Shijin didn't expect that her mother-in-law would not give her any face in front of others. The bitterness in her heart suddenly surged up, but she had to grit her teeth and endure it. After wiping her tears with a handkerchief, she immediately stood up and said apologetically to the two of them.

"Don't blame me, mother-in-law. It was my daughter-in-law who was ignorant and angered the princess. I will apologize to her now."

After saying this, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed respectfully to apologize.

Logically speaking, with her current status as the Crown Prince's Consort, she should not be on equal footing with the princess, but she also should not have to kneel down and apologize. However, her move of cutting off the source of the problem left Princess Qinghuan with no excuse to complain.

After taking a look at Princess Chun who was also in a state of uncertainty beside him, he casually raised his hand and spoke.

"Alright, I'm not the type to hold on to trivial matters. It's just that the Crown Prince's wife and I are really entangled in our past lives and have no chance in this life, so it's better for us to see each other less in the future. Don't you agree, aunt?"

Princess Chun's face looked a little embarrassed at this moment.

She had been married for ten years before she had such a precious son. She had finally made him the Crown Prince, with the intention of allowing him to naturally take over the identity of Prince Chun. That was why she tried every possible means to find a suitable marriage for him.

At first, she looked down on Jiang Shiyuan.

Given her reputation for being ill for many years, it would have been difficult for her to have children. However, with the upward momentum of her maternal and natal families, there were not only many male members in her family, but they all had bright futures. After the marriage, the two families helped each other, which was a boost.

She even thought about waiting only three years.

If Jiang Shiyuan still cannot give birth to a child after three years, then let her son take a few concubines. Children will be born eventually, and the Jiang and Wang families will not be able to complain about anything by then. They will even help their daughter and granddaughter so that they don't have to suffer in the palace.

Unfortunately, although she had made careful plans, she did not expect such a "disaster" to occur.

Not only did it ruin the marriage between the two families, but the old lady Wang from the Wenyuan Marquis's residence even teamed up with some unknown force to ruin the job that was originally assigned to her son. How could Princess Chun not be angry? !

But the affair between her son and the second daughter of the Jiang family had already spread widely in Xijing City. She had no choice but to welcome him in with a pinched nose. She looked at Jiang Shijin with disdain as if she were looking at some evil fate, and was naturally very embarrassed.

In the palace, it seemed that everything was calm, but in fact, the positions of the princess and the prince were coveted by others. If she wanted to keep the honor she deserved, she had to think of another way. After calming down a little, she looked at Princess Qinghuan with a smile.

"Qing Huan is right. Since you don't like her, then when your aunt comes to talk to you in the future, just don't bring her along. I think there will be another wedding in our house in a few days, and you must come and drink a glass of wedding wine then."

"Happy event? What?"

Princess Qinghuan looked at Jiang Shijin's belly for a few seconds, but when she saw that Jiang Shijin was also surprised, she quickly realized that this happy event had nothing to do with her. Then she thought about the rumors she had heard from Nanny Shen a few days ago, and she began to understand a little.

"It's too early to say it now. Once the matter is finalized, I will send someone to deliver the invitation. Qinghuan will do me the honor of coming over then."

It seems that Princess Chun has not yet convinced the Zhao family, so she didn't tell them directly. Princess Qinghuan was happy to see Prince Chun's mansion suffer the consequences of its own actions, so she replied with a smile.

"In that case, I will wait for good news from my aunt."

When Jiang Shijin, who was sitting nearby, heard this, she tried hard to suppress her panic. She had no status in the mansion to begin with. To put it nicely, she was the Crown Prince's Consort, but she couldn't even say anything in front of the concubines' sisters-in-law who entered the mansion before her.

There was no further news about the Zhao sisters entering the palace after the boat race.

She had thought that Prince Chun's Mansion could not persuade the two sisters to enter the mansion and was somewhat relieved, but now after hearing what her mother-in-law said, she really didn't know what to do next.

She originally thought that as long as she could marry into Prince Chun's mansion, everything would be fine. However, she didn't expect that it was a den of jackals and tigers. Without the support of her father, brother and mother's family, she would have difficulty taking a single step. Therefore, she had to go home and work harder.

Even though my uncle was angry with me, he was useful. At this time, even if I went back and cried and begged him, I had to make him soften his heart and treat me as before.

Jiang Shijin thought so, then stood up and left with Princess Chun. After they had disappeared, Princess Qinghuan glanced at the food box and said with a little disdain.

"Throw it away."

"Yes, princess."

In the Yincuitang.

Jiang Shiyuan was leaning on the beauty railing and felt a little sleepy, but since Princess Qinghuan hadn't come yet, she thought about getting up and taking a walk. Anyway, she had been to this place many times, so she didn't need a servant to lead the way, she could find it naturally.

Jiang Shiyuan seldom goes out. Apart from the Marquis Wenyuan's Mansion, her favorite is the Princess' Mansion. The complexity and magnificence here cannot be compared with the houses outside. It is worthy of being supervised by the current Majesty himself and it took more than ten years to renovate it. You can tell at a glance that a lot of effort was put into it.

They piled up mountains and dug pools, built towers and erected pavilions.

Wherever Jiang Shiyuan looked, he saw white stone railings. Lush vegetation and rare flowers and plants were vaguely visible in the space between the flying buildings. He walked up a few steps along the corridor that went through the mountain, and then he saw the flat and wide area to the north, with a two-story building rising from the ground.

It says on it, Huiyin Pavilion.

When Jiang Shiyuan saw the name, he recalled many past events.

That year, Princess Qinghuan moved out of the palace and set up her own residence. She then hosted a banquet for the powerful and noble families in Xijing City. The Wenyuan Marquis's residence was naturally also included in the banquet, so she came with her grandmother and aunt.
