Chapter 176 The Hidden Staff of the Prince in the Cold Palace 22

The red candles are in the warm tent, today is the wedding day for the Prince of Yongning and the Marquis of Yongchuan.

......

During the day, Jiang Nanxi prepared the wedding cake and asked the maid beside her to take her sign and deliver the cake to the Yongchuan Marquis's residence. She had just entered the palace and could not go out to see her brother. She was a little sad that she could not personally witness Jiang Chen wearing the wedding dress.

She rested her chin on her hand and looked at a bird by the window that the Queen had sent her some time ago. The little bird had grown plump from eating so much and was now fast asleep.

"My lady, you can't go out, but the prince can enter the palace. Maybe they can enter tomorrow." Fen Tao came close to her and whispered to comfort her.

"That's right." Jiang Nanxi stood up, "Are there any wedding cakes left in the kitchen?"

Fen Tao said, "Yes, young master, do you want to eat it? I will go get it for you."

"No, pack it up. I want to take it to the emperor."

......

Jiang Nanxi had just entered the palace and was unable to adapt to palace life. Although she was given the title of noble lady before she even served the emperor, she knew that was just the emperor's way of appeasing the Jiang family.

Whenever the emperor had time, he would run to Concubine Xian. One of Concubine Xian's children died and the other became stupid, and she herself went crazy for a while. Yet, she was able to regain the emperor's favor. This was something beyond description.

While the emperor was not paying attention to her, Jiang Nanxi went for a walk in the imperial garden. Seeing a lake, she asked the palace maid to find her a fishing rod. She leaned against the pavilion and waited for the fish to bite.

During their time in Lingnan, Jiang Nanxi and Jiang Chen often went to the mountains and rivers to catch fish. The woods were cool and they could stay there for the whole day. When it was time for dinner, they grilled the fish and sprinkled it with the seasonings they brought from home, which made the fish fresh and tasty.

The palace wall was endless, and the huge gap made Jiang Nanxi want to cry. When the wind blew, her tears dried up.

At this moment, the fishing rod fell down, and the depressed mood dissipated a little. Jiang Nanxi was about to exert force when the palace maids and eunuchs following him knelt down in unison.

"Your Majesty, be safe."

The fishing rod in Jiang Nanxi's hand slipped, and the fish ran away with the rod.

She rolled her eyes inwardly, her eyes quickly turned red, and she quickly saluted the bright yellow figure behind her.

Jiang Nanxi was beautiful and innocent, and she didn't know how to hide her emotions, so every bit of resentment was shown on her face. The emperor was moved and helped her up personally.

"What kind of injustice has Concubine Chun suffered?" The emperor was majestic without being angry.

Jiang Nanxi puffed up her cheeks, unwilling to look at him, "It's all your Majesty's fault. You scared away all the fish I caught."

Eunuch Fugui behind the emperor glanced at Concubine Chun and bowed, "Concubine Chun, fishing is not allowed in the Imperial Garden."

Jiang Nanxi was stunned for a moment, and carefully looked at the emperor's expression, but could not see anything.

"Then I will go back to my palace and be confined to my home." After saying this, she was about to get up from the emperor's arms.

Jiang Nanxi was the one with the highest rank among the same batch of concubines. Besides her, there were several concubines who had already served in the Jinxiu Palace. It was probably not to the emperor's liking, so his rank was only raised a little.

It was against the rules for a concubine like her to be conferred a noble lady before she even entered the emperor's bedchamber. However, since there were so many violations of the rules, Fugui began to take it lightly. He did not dare to guess the emperor's thoughts at will.

The emperor held her hand tightly, and Jiang Nanxi could not break free, so she could only sit down in the pavilion.

The emperor said in a deep voice: "You are good at punishing yourself, which is beyond my reach."

Jiang Nanxi snorted softly: "I still know the rules of the palace, but I am not as meticulous as Eunuch Fugui. Thank you for reminding me."

Fugui quickly bent down and said, "Your Excellency, I dare not."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "All right, everyone, leave. What are you doing here?"

All the palace maids and eunuchs in the pavilion retreated.

Jiang Nanxi didn't know how to start the conversation. Seeing that the emperor had no intention of punishing him, he became a little bolder and said, "Your Majesty."

The emperor turned his gaze to her, examining her, without saying a word.

"I can't sleep at night, I'm used to my bed."

The emperor was stunned for a moment, thinking that she was asking for some reward, but it turned out to be just a complaint from a little girl.

Jiang Nanxi still lives in a side hall, and the main hall has no owner, but their positions are not high enough to become the master of a palace, they have to be at least concubines.

The emperor said, "If you are not sleeping well, it is because the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not serve you well. I will punish them!"

Jiang Nanxi was startled and knelt on the ground, "I didn't mean that. I just miss home."

The girl's voice was tearful, and she seemed to have no concrete feelings about the punishment. Now the emperor's angry voice obviously frightened her.

The emperor was silent for a long time. Jiang Nanxi looked up timidly, just in time to meet his deep eyes, and then quickly lowered her head again.

If it were any other day, the emperor would definitely be angry for such a lack of manners, but looking at the girl following like a shy bird, he sighed softly and helped her up.

Who would have thought that the Jiang family's youngest daughter would be so naive and reckless.

"Fugui," upon hearing the emperor's voice, Fugui hunched over and opened the curtain to come in, and heard the emperor in front of him say, "Concubine Chun is smart and clever, and has won the emperor's favor, so she is named Concubine Chun. The position of the head of Jinxiu Palace is vacant, so Concubine Chun will temporarily take over."

Fugui looked embarrassed: "Your Majesty, this is against the rules..."

I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse to elevate Concubine Chun to such a high position before she even enters the bedchamber.

"Your Majesty, please revoke your order." Jiang Nanxi also knelt on the ground, his heart pounding.

The emperor's order is hard to disobey, "Let's turn over Chunpin's name card tonight."

Fugui lowered his head: "Yes."

Jiang Nanxi raised her head suddenly, like a silly goose. The wind was strong by the lake, blowing her hair apart. The emperor's large palm was unusually warm.

She was confused and gave the emperor a childish smile.

......

The eunuch beside Fugui took the cakes and said with a smile: "Empress Chun, His Majesty is in Yuxiu Palace. Please trouble your Majesty to make this trip. When Eunuch Fugui comes back, your thoughts will definitely be conveyed to His Majesty."

Yuxiu Palace was presided over by Concubine Xian.

Fen Tao handed him a small purse. The eunuch weighed it and heard a crisp sound from inside. The eunuch smiled more sincerely, and wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes. "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Jiang Nanxi returned empty-handed and was angry all the way, as if someone owed her money.

The head palace maid also came back at this time, bringing a letter and handing it to Jiang Nanxi.

Jiang Nanxi opened it and read it. Her anger subsided a lot, and a smile appeared in her eyes. "My brother and brother-in-law will enter the palace in the next few days."

Fen Tao patted the wrinkles on her clothes and said, "My lady, don't be angry. You might get sick from it."

......

"squeak"

The door with a big red wedding character on it was pushed open, and the two grooms were helped in by servants. They couldn't get married according to traditional customs for men and women, so they toasted all night.

If those people hadn't seen that they were drunk and were afraid of delaying their wedding night, they might not have let them go.

In the capital, Ling Si still has many drinking buddies, while Jiang Chen has fewer friends, but he has some relatives around.

On the wedding day, Zhu Lin also changed into a pink dress. Her cold face was totally inconsistent with the warm color tone.

Both of them were drunk, and the people who were making trouble in the bridal chamber had lost interest. Zhu Lin closed the door, and the two people lying on the bed opened their eyes, their eyes clear.

She brought two gourd-shaped ladles filled with wine, and the newlyweds drank together to celebrate the wedding.

"My Lord, my Lord, it's time to drink the wedding wine."
