Everyone Knows I’m a Good Man

Ji Changze was very satisfied with this meal.

But when he put down his chopsticks and saw Jiang Xinyan, who looked like a freshman in high school in front of him, he choked up when he held the handkerchief.

Especially after noticing that the inside of Jiang Xinyan's arm was burned.

He put down the handkerchief, picked up the other person's hand, and frowned deeply:

"Why did you get burned? Have you given any medicine?"

Jiang Xinyan shivered and wanted to take back her hand but didn't dare. It was the first time yesterday that her husband pointed at her and scolded her so fiercely. She was so scared.

Chunzhu was the same age as her, and the prince-in-law was much stronger and taller than them. If he tried to attack him, they would definitely not be able to stop him.

Jiang Xin was tired of crying. On the one hand, she didn't understand why her husband, who was originally gentle and considerate, suddenly became so violent to her. On the other hand, she cried that if the consort changed his mind, she would have no power to resist.

Looking for your father?

The experience of more than ten years in the past told her that her father would only scold her, and then punish her by copying scriptures and kneeling for a few days.

To resist the consort, Concubine Yang knew everything about her affairs in the Ji family. If she dared to resist the consort, Concubine Yang would be able to call her into the palace the next day and make a fuss about her being disrespectful to her husband. Her mother would also be blamed for it. More humiliated.

As long as her mother is still in the palace, she can only become a fish on the sword.

Trying to find a way out, but finding that every road is impassable, Jiang Xinyan is afraid of the future and deeply hates her own incompetence. She doesn't know how to deal with the consort's overtures.

Seeing Ji Changze staring at the burn on his hand, Jiang Xinyan explained in a low voice:

"It's okay, it's just that it was dark in the morning and my vision was unclear, so I got burned. I've already washed it with cold water."

"A burn is not a trivial matter. How can you just wash it with cold water?"

Ji Changze frowned more and more, and said to Chunzhu, "Go to the medical clinic outside and buy some burn ointment."

Chunzhu was stunned for a moment, then his eyes showed joy, and he responded abruptly:

"Hey! I'll go right now, slave!"

It's quite convenient for them to buy medicine here. The medical center is just outside the alley, and it doesn't take more than a few minutes to come and go.

Seeing Chunzhu running out, Jiang Xinyan was startled. Seeing the consort holding his hand, his face turned red: "It's not so serious. Just let it go and it will be fine."

She had never been burned in the palace. Although she was not favored by her father and was often punished to kneel down and copy Buddhist scriptures, Concubine Yang had always done things safely. Such an injury that would leave external wounds would never be left behind. on her.

On the other hand, her mother, because of her humble status, was never summoned by her father. Concubine Yang had no scruples, and she did not hesitate to practice. She also suffered some burns, most of which were caused by the tea being served too hot.

Often at this time, Wang Cainu would rinse directly with cold water.

It's not that they don't want to apply medicine, it's more difficult for ordinary people to get medicine in the palace. The only formal way is to get it from the imperial doctor, but they want to get it, but they are stuck and refuse to give it.

If the eunuchs were to be brought from outside the palace, the price would be too high to afford.

After a long time, Jiang Xinyan also felt that if she was burned, just rinse it with cold water.

After being burned, she subconsciously washed it with cold water.

There was no money at home. She had bought some fabrics for summer wear, and the prince was not happy. Jiang Xinyan guessed that the reason why he had such an attack last night was that he needed money to buy these fabrics.

Although there wasn't much fabric, most of it was used on Ji Changze.

It really makes no sense for the Prince Consort to have an attack.

The other princesses all had a treasury of materials for their dowries, but she, the ninth princess, had none. Jiang Xinyan felt very uncomfortable in her heart.

Unexpectedly, the consort would care so much about her burns.

Ji Changze put down Jiang Xinyan's hand:

"This food tastes very good, but the princess won't have to do these tedious tasks in the future. I can just buy another mother-in-law for the cooking work."

When Jiang Xinyan heard this, she felt relieved that her consort valued her, but also worried:

"But at home, we no longer have enough money to buy someone."

Speaking of buying people, we have to mention Jiang Xinyan’s difficult difficulty mode again.

When other princesses get married, they are accompanied by a bunch of maids and eunuchs.

Jiang Xinyan only has Chunzhu beside her.

She had grown up in various oppressive environments. Except for her biological mother and Chunzhu, no one said anything good about her. Under such hints, Jiang Xinyan, who was obviously a princess, felt even lower than ordinary people.

Afraid that the prince-in-law would dislike her for having only one palace maid with her, she even took the initiative to learn cooking skills.

In the past, the original owner was flattered by this, feeling that a majestic princess was willing to wash her hands and make soup for her. But after getting along with those consorts for a long time, her mentality gradually turned to disgust.

A dignified princess, without any princess manners, actually does such a lowly thing as cooking for herself. It's no wonder that she is not as handsome as other princes-in-law. With such a wife, how can people think highly of him?

After he came back drunk, he also said that Jiang Xinyan had not behaved like a princess several times.

He didn't even think about it. The princess had the manners of a princess, but she was served by a group of servants around her. Naturally, the princess didn't have to do anything herself. Everything was taken care of properly, and her hair was not messed up. How could she not have manners?

And the Ninth Princess was only married to a maid, and the original owner did nothing at home and had to be waited on. No matter how capable Chunzhu was, he couldn't split her in half and use her.

What's more, since she got married, Jiang Xinyan has not been able to completely escape from the palace. From time to time, she will be summoned into the palace by Concubine Yang, saying that she misses her and wants to see her, but in fact, she just wants to see her in desolation before taking her. Out of righteousness, she was asked to take good care of her consort Yunyun.

Every time she listened to Concubine Yang's lecture, she would have to stand there for an hour or two. Even what she did at home and what Concubine Yang considered "inappropriate" would be brought out and reprimanded.

She had to do housework every day and was scolded by others. Under such torture, it was strange that the ninth princess could shine so brightly.

Jiang Xinyan and Chunzhu whispered quietly for countless times, but they couldn't figure it out. They were clearly in the Ji family. The Ji family was poor and did not hire anyone else.

Why did Concubine Yang, who was deep in the palace, know what they did and said the next day.

The two of them had suspected that Concubine Yang had sent someone to spy on her secretly. It was a serious crime for the palace concubine to spy on the married princess.

But what's the use.

If Concubine Yang was spying on other princesses, her father would definitely be furious. Regardless of whether she was convicted or not, she would definitely be investigated thoroughly.

But it was Jiang Xinyan.

If she goes to report it, not only will she not receive fair treatment, but she will also be reprimanded and scolded.

And her mother was still in Concubine Yang's hands. It was difficult for her mother to be in her hands. If the news that Jiang Xinyan dared to complain reached Concubine Yang's ears, her mother would definitely be worse off than dead.

She could only endure it, lowering her eyebrows and being submissive, and endured it day by day.

Even at the same age as a teenage flower, it would not be able to bloom under such suffering.

She also understood that this was what Concubine Yang and the others had planned.

It just requires her to take care of the housework day by day, leading to a life of depression with no way out, and withering away a little bit.

Knowing but being unable to change is the most despairing thing.

Now that Ji Changze asked her not to work too hard and hire someone to take care of the family, Jiang Xinyan couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope in her heart.

But the reality still forced her to continue: "Forget it, I have Chunzhu to help me, so I don't do much work."

"It doesn't matter."

A smile appeared on Ji Changze's face. In this smile, there was a sense of relaxation and confidence that Jiang Xinyan had never seen before:

"Today, I will bring people back."

Just as he was talking, Chunzhu came back from buying medicine. When he came in, he saw the prince-in-law's hand on the princess's hand, patting her comfortingly, and the smile on her face became even bigger.

If the prince-in-law is kind to the princess, then the two of them will have a better life.

"Prince-in-law, princess, I bought the medicine."

While Chunzhu took out the medicine and applied it to Jiang Xinyan, she thought it would be better to stay outside the palace.

If he were in the palace, a little burn ointment would cost ten taels of silver.

But outside the palace, twenty coins can buy so much.

The cool touch fell on the injured area, covering up the original slight pain. Jiang Xinyan had grown so big, and this was the first time he had been injured and had medicine applied on it. He was suddenly filled with novelty, and felt an inexplicable astringency in his heart.

Seeing that her husband got up after seeing her apply the medicine, she quickly asked: "What is the prince-in-law going to do today?"

Ji Changze also didn’t hide it:

"The third prince-in-law and the fifth prince-in-law asked me to go out and join them today."

The smile on Jiang Xinyan's face suddenly became a little forced.

The mother of the third princess is Xiu Zhaoyi, who also lives in Feixia Palace where Concubine Yang lives, while the fifth princess is Concubine Yang's daughter. Growing up, these two sisters have often bullied and humiliated Jiang Xinyan together.

She originally thought that her two sisters would not return to the palace often after they got married, and they would not need to see each other too much when she got married too.

Turns out she thought it was too beautiful.

The Third Prince Consort and the Fifth Prince Consort Xu had the princess's wife's instructions. They often took the initiative to ask Ji Changze out. When they came back, they would be drunk without saying a word, and their attitude towards her would become visibly a little bit impatient.

Jiang Xinyan tentatively asked, but every time she brought up the topic, her husband interrupted her and ignored her.

Although she was timid, she had some experience of being bullied when she grew up. She understood that those consorts had no good intentions. They talked to her husband but got no response, and sometimes got angry. She could only watch Ji Changze get along with them. together.

She forced a smile:

"Then you come back early."

"good."

Ji Changze turned around and smiled at her: "Since the princess asked my husband to come back early, I will definitely come back early."

It was just an ordinary sentence, but the big stone in Jiang Xinyan's heart finally fell to the ground.

After a while, the young man of the Third Prince Consort came to pick him up.

Ji Changze opened the door and left with a familiar face.

Seeing that the consort had gone out, she said to Chunzhu:

"Do you feel that the consort is a little moody today?"

When I first went out, my attitude was cold, but suddenly I became enthusiastic.

The enthusiasm almost made her feel like she was back in the days after her wedding.

Those few days were the happiest days since Jiang Xinyan was born.

Although she felt sad in her heart when she learned that her father had married her to a consort with no fame or family background and could only be called an ordinary person.

But on the wedding day, the prince-in-law took off his hijab and saw that the prince-in-law was handsome. He looked at her with admiration. He took her hand and said that she was like a goddess in the sky. He fell in love with her at first sight and now he must marry her. I will never give up on her for the rest of my life, and when I protect her for the rest of my life, those sorrows will disappear.

Even if they knew that Concubine Yang and the others deliberately chose such a family for their marriage, it would be fine as long as the consort was good.

But later, the consort also changed.

But now, he doesn't seem to have changed much.

Chunzhu knew something about the inside story. She took a careful look at the wall first. She didn't feel relieved when she didn't see anyone, so she pulled Jiang Xinyan into the house.

After looking left and right, he whispered: "Princess, I have an idea..."

While his awesome teammates Chun Zhu and Jiang Xinyan were whispering, Ji Changze had already arrived on the street.

Yesterday, the Third Prince Consort and the Fifth Prince Consort invited him to watch a play and drink tea at Tianhe Tower.

Tianhe Restaurant is the most expensive restaurant in the capital. The original owner went there once and was amazed.

It's not because of how good the singer is, or how delicious the food and tea are, it's mainly because of the money filter.

After all, a pot of tea costs fifty taels of silver, so drinking it is naturally full of expansion.

The consorts of Tianhe Tower didn't go there often, so every time the original owner cherished this opportunity, he was very happy on the way there, and his whole body was full of excitement.

But Ji Changze...

Tianhe Tower was still quite far away from Ji's house, so he didn't bother to leave after only two steps.

"It's really hot today."

He said to Ma Ying, the fifth prince-in-law's young servant: "Before I took a few steps, I was already sweating in layers. Otherwise, I would not go to the appointment today."

Ma Ying was stunned. She never thought that the Nine Prince Consort would break the appointment before taking two steps.

The opportunity to eat at Tianhe Tower is so rare, why would the Ninth Prince Consort not go?

Ji Changze didn't look at the expression on his face, he just kept to himself and gave instructions:

"Why don't you tell the Fifth Prince Consort for me? Just say that it's hot and I'm weak and I really can't walk a few steps. Let him have fun with the Third Prince Consort today."

Seeing that Ji Changze turned around and went back after he finished speaking, Ma Ying became anxious.

Others didn't know it, but he, as the confidant of the Third Prince Consort, knew clearly that his master and the Fifth Prince Consort were having a gathering. They were clearly trying to lure the Ninth Prince Consort to watch a joke.

If the Nine Prince Consort doesn't come, then what's the point of this place today?

"Prince-in-law, please don't leave yet."

Ma Ying hurriedly stepped forward to stop them: "The Third Prince Consort and the Fifth Prince Consort are specially making a treat for you. It would be a pity if you don't go."

Ji Changze made a fan with his hands and fanned the wind in a decent manner, with a weak look on his face:

"I want to go too, but it's too hot today. Maybe next time, next time."

Ma Ying was dumbfounded when she saw that even though she had said this, the Ninth Prince Consort, who had always been very considerate to other princes-in-law, still didn't want to go.

The banquet at Helou was all booked that day, and the second floor was reserved so that the Ninth Prince Consort could see it. The money for the second floor alone was a thousand taels.

As a result, the money was spent, but the real owner was not there. If he went back alone, he would be skinned by his own master.

Ma Ying didn't even bother to show off her "I'm a confidant of the Third Prince Consort and I'm very arrogant" attitude now, and she smiled apologetically at Ji Changze:

"Otherwise, how about I find a carriage and you go there in the carriage?"

After hearing this, Ji Changze seemed to nod immediately in agreement. Halfway through, he suddenly hesitated:

"Forget it, it's already sultry today. If you sit in a carriage, the carriage is already narrow. Sitting inside won't make it even hotter. You prince-in-laws are not afraid of the heat. We always sit in a sedan when we get together. I'm afraid it's very hot. "

Ma Ying felt disdainful in her heart, feeling that these nine princes were indeed from commoner backgrounds and had become princes-in-law, but they were still so ignorant.

Young men from aristocratic families all ride in sedans in the summer. If it was really muggy, how could they ride in sedans.

He felt that he was more knowledgeable than the Nine Prince Consort, and his voice regained a hint of pride:

"I want the Nine Prince Consort to know that although my master is riding in a sedan, there is an ice basin in the sedan. Not only is it not hot, the interior of the sedan is also very cool."

The Ninth Prince Consort, who was born in a rural area, was really shocked by his words. He opened his eyes wide in surprise and asked:

"Eh! Really?! Still like this?"

Ma Ying raised her chin slightly: "Of course, this is how the young lady from Beijing goes out in the summer."

See the world! Country bumpkin!

Ji Changze, a country bumpkin, cheered with admiration: "Oh, that's awesome. I used to live in the countryside, but I've never heard of an ice basin in summer."

Ma Ying became more and more proud: "Nine Prince Consorts are not from the capital, so it's normal for them not to know. Every family with an official title in the capital has an icehouse in their mansion. Ice is cut in the winter and stored in the icehouse for use in the summer. This is what these ice basins are like. Come.”

"That's it."

Ji Changze nodded repeatedly, as if completely shocked by Ma Ying's words.

Without waiting for Ma Ying to smile and say a few more words, he said: "After you finish looking for the carriage, put an ice basin on it to cool the carriage before you pick me up."

"I'll wait for you here and have a bowl of herbal tea."

The smile that had not fully bloomed on Ma Ying's face froze.

"This, this... if we want to use ice, I can't be the master."

Although there are ice basins stored in their house, ice is very rare in summer. Even if he is the confidant of his master, he cannot use it at will.

"You actually can't make the decision?"

Country bumpkin Ji Changze looked surprised: "I saw that the Third Prince Consort took you with him wherever he went, and I thought you were his confidant."

Ma Ying: "..."

He couldn't even hold back his stiff smile now, so he could only try his best to explain:

"Ice is very precious, and the government has its own rules. Even our consort, we use a lot of ice in a day."

"Huh? That's it."

Ji Changze was very reasonable: "Forget it, since it's precious, don't go and get it."

Ma Ying breathed a sigh of relief: "The Ninth Prince Consort is reasonable, I would like to thank the Ninth Prince Consort."

"No thanks, no thanks."

Ji Changze had no airs at all, he waved his hand and walked back.

Ma Ying was stunned and quickly caught up: "Nine Prince Consort, you are going the wrong way."

"No objection, am I not going home?"

As Ji Changze walked, he smiled and said to him: "I am weak and physically weak. I really can't support walking. The sedan is stuffy and I can't get ice cubes, so I'd better go home."

"Hey, why are you following me? No need to follow, no need to follow, I don't need your service. You go back and help me and the three and five princes consort. Just say that we can get together next time when the weather gets cooler and let them have fun."

Ma Ying: "..."

If the Nine Prince Consort really doesn't go today, how much will his master lose today.

"Nine Consorts stay!"

Ma Ying stopped Ji Changze and smiled dryly:

"This slave cannot be the master, so I will go and ask the master for instructions, and ask the consort to wait a moment."

When Ji Changze heard this, he first showed a hesitant look on his face, and then nodded:

"That's fine, I'll drink herbal tea here and wait for you, but you have to come back soon. It's so hot outside. If you don't come back after waiting for a long time, I will go home."

He didn't say the rest, but Ma Ying heard it.

When he got home, even if the sedan came, Ji Changze would not come out.

Ma Ying nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I will come back as soon as possible. Please also ask the Nine Prince Consort to wait here."

Ji Changze then sat down and ordered a pot of herbal tea, as if he planned to drink the tea slowly and wait.

Ma Ying was afraid that he would come back too late and he would go home by himself. He didn't care about the hot weather and ran very fast along the way.

When I entered the Tianhe Tower, I looked very embarrassed because I was sweating and my hat was crooked. The new waiter in the Tianhe Tower almost came to chase me away.

Fortunately, the old waiter was there, and he recognized that this was the boy next to the third prince-in-law, and quickly grabbed the new waiter, and Ma Ying was able to go to the second floor smoothly.

Upstairs, the Third Prince Consort and the Fifth Prince Consort were laughing and talking, and from time to time they glanced at the opera singing downstairs.

The atmosphere was just right, so Ma Ying came up.

The third prince-in-law looked over and his face darkened: "How did you do it to end up like this?"

Ma Ying is his servant, and she also represents his face outside.

He was in such a mess that others would only laugh at the Third Prince Consort.

Ma Ying quickly put on his hat and carefully explained the cause and effect, focusing on the fact that he had run all the way in the heat in order not to delay the tasks assigned to him by the third prince-in-law, which was why he was in such a mess.

"What?!!"

The cup of tea held by the Third Consort fell heavily on the table, spilling a lot of tea.

Another boy waiting next to him quickly took out his handkerchief and carefully wiped his hands.

"I invited him here, but he still dared to dislike the heat. This pariah from the countryside became the consort because of his luck, and now he dares to get married with me."

Seeing that his face turned red with anger, the Fifth Prince Consort took a leisurely sip of tea:

"I don't think it's Canada, it's just that I can't bear this kind of hardship. You also know what the Nine Prince Consort is like. We have always been affectionate towards you, and the appointment was with Tianhe Tower. If we weren't really weak, , he would never dare to refuse.”

The Third Prince Consort sneered: "But he still refused."

"According to me, there is no need to go to such trouble. We need to accompany him in acting every day. We can just break one of his legs or beat him to death. How can the life of the Ninth Princess be easier without her consort?"

He said something about beating the current prince-in-law to death, but Ma Ying and the fifth prince-in-law's servants lowered their eyes and pretended not to hear, with no trace of surprise on their faces.

Obviously, the three princes-in-law had said these words often before.

The fifth consort put down the tea cup: "You are always so restless. Have you forgotten the princess's instructions? If he is really crippled or killed, and the ninth princess is without a consort, your majesty will definitely want to send her out for a marriage. Princess Shi takes the blame, can you bear it?"

The three princes suddenly stopped talking.

The powerful people in their country don't like widows remarrying, but that's not the case in other countries.

In many countries, a woman who has been married several times can become a queen.

Although His Majesty hates the Ninth Princess, it is precisely because of his disgust that he will not be reluctant to send the Ninth Princess out for marriage.

And if the Ninth Princess really turned over and became the wife of a royal family from another country, their princess wife would definitely be furious and blame them.

"Since we want to learn from the Ninth Princess, why not start with her? Why do we have to go around in this circle and accompany that countryman to eat and watch a show? It's really boring."

The fifth prince-in-law is obviously more calm than the third prince-in-law:

"The Ninth Princess is of His Majesty's blood after all. Even Concubine Yang would not dare to go too far. If we really take action and are found out, even if His Majesty no longer cares about the Ninth Princess, then we will be charged with confiscating our family and exterminating our ancestors."

For the sake of a ninth princess, they would not take such a risk.

So I would rather go to a little trouble, get close to Ji Changze and induce him to do it.

As long as it is done flawlessly, no matter how you look at it, it is Ji Changze's doing. When the time comes, he will be pushed out as a scapegoat, and His Majesty's anger will be shouldered by someone, and this matter will naturally pass quietly.

The Third Prince Consort knew this, but he still complained very much:

"I spend money like water these days, but the princess still blames me for not making any progress. It's really annoying."

Speaking of this, the Fifth Prince Consort also felt resentful.

The grudges between the princesses can't be resolved in the palace.

I want them to do it themselves.

But none of them came from a noble family. Even if they were dealing with an unpopular ninth princess with so many relatives behind her, they had to be careful before starting.

Otherwise, if something goes wrong accidentally and the princesses are His Majesty's biological daughters, the whole family will be directly punished.

And the princess has a very unruly temperament, and will lose her temper at the slightest dissatisfaction, which is really miserable.

In order to deal with Ji Changze, several consorts did a lot of investigating.

Naturally, he also knew that the Ninth Princess had a docile temperament and even cooked soup for the Ninth Prince Consort, so she felt a little more jealous in her heart.

Every year at the royal family banquet, the consorts would be present. They had also seen the Ninth Princess. She was as beautiful as a flower, much better than her sisters.

She has such a good personality. If it weren't for her mother's family failure and being unpopular, it wouldn't be a pleasure to have such a princess and beauty at home.

It's a pity that Ji Changze, a commoner from the countryside, was taken advantage of.

The fifth prince-in-law had various thoughts running through his heart. He glanced around and made sure that he was the only one around, then he unscrupulously approached the third prince-in-law and whispered in his ear:

"You don't have to complain. When things are done, it will be worth it for you and me to lie down in Chunxiangyuan."

The third prince-in-law understood, and a smile immediately appeared on his face: "The fifth prince-in-law also has this thought."

They had already discussed the process. Since the princesses wanted the Ninth Princess to suffer humiliation, the most humiliating thing for a woman would be to be insulted.

The script has been written: the Ninth Prince Consort became addicted to gambling and was so bold that he concealed the identity of the princess and sold her to a brothel. When the princesses realized something was wrong and rescued her, the Ninth Princess had already been given a mute drug and was taken over. Many customers.

At that time, the crime will be attributed to the Nine Prince Consort.

For the sake of royal reputation, the Ninth Princess will also be executed by His Majesty himself.

After coming up with such a plan, the princes naturally had other ideas.

Anyway, when the time comes, the Ninth Princess is sent to the brothel, her voice is hoarse, her eyes are covered, and she doesn’t know who the guests are.

They had been coveting the Ninth Princess for a long time. When they had this opportunity, of course they had to take advantage of themselves first.

"It's such a pity that the Ninth Princess followed such a vulgar person."

The fifth prince-in-law waved his fan, with a look of regret on his face.

Although the Ninth Princess looks young now, if she is raised for a few more years, she will definitely be a stunning beauty. It is a pity that she is a princess. No matter how favored she is, she is still a member of the royal family.

Otherwise, he would have taken action long ago, and there would be no need to go through so many twists and turns.

Because he thought about the "reward" he could receive when the matter was completed, the Third Prince Consort became energetic and stopped complaining. He said to Ma Ying:

"Go to the mansion, call for a carriage, and ask for an ice basin with my sign, and ask the Nine Prince Consort to come in the carriage."

"Yes, slave, go right away."

Ma Ying had been waiting anxiously for a long time, fearing that if she asked for instructions here, Ji Changze would return home and refuse to come out.

But he didn't dare to interrupt when the prince-in-law was talking, so he could only wait by sweating profusely.

Now that he got it, he quickly went downstairs with the sign and ran towards the mansion.

Of course he wasn't going to the princess's mansion.

Although the birth mother of the third princess does not have a high status, she is backed by Concubine Yang and is favored by His Majesty. She has absolute real power in the princess's mansion, and the words of the consort do not matter at all.

The prince-in-law now wants to spend money and use ice outside, so he can go back to his home and go to the Palace of the Minister of Justice to get it.

Ma Ying got ice from the house, asked for a car, and quickly drove to the tea shop to pick someone up.

After he left, the sister-in-law of the Third Prince Consort frowned slightly as she listened to the girl's report.

How could her brother-in-law come to the house from time to time to ask for things after the family was separated, but her parents-in-law were still there, so she couldn't say anything, so she could only endure it.

Forget it, it's just a basin of ice.

On Ji Changze's side, after drinking a cup of tea, eating a plate of cold dishes, and saying hello to Chunzhu who came out to buy groceries, and leisurely not sweating at all, Ma Ying finally arrived.

After seeing the carriage, he nodded repeatedly: "This carriage is really luxurious, it even has carvings on it."

Ma Ying was exhausted from running and was not in the mood to feel proud anymore. She only gasped and said:

"Ninth Prince Consort, the carriage is here and the ice cubes have been put in. You'd better get in the carriage quickly. My master and Fifth Prince Consort are waiting for you."

Ji Changze smiled: "Okay, I'll go up right now."

"But are you very hot? Why are you sweating all over? Your clothes seem to be soaked with sweat. It looks a bit disgraceful."

Ma Ying, who was half exhausted: "..."

At this moment, he wanted to pinch him directly and yell:

Don’t you have any idea why I’m so hot? ?

Didn't you make me run all the way on such a hot day? ?

You actually asked me if you had any intention at all! ! ! !

But in reality, Ma Ying could only squeeze out a dry smile:

"Slave... I'm more afraid of the heat. I ran a little faster just now."

Ji Changze said as he slowly got into the car:

"If you're afraid of the heat, just walk slower. Why are you running so fast? I feel hot just looking at you."

Ma Ying: "..."

Weren't you the one who asked me to come here quickly?

As if he knew what he was thinking, Ji Changze turned around and smiled:

"I just said it casually before. Of course I won't miss the appointment with the three princes and five princes. It doesn't matter if I wait a long time."

After hearing this, Ma Ying became even more angry: "..."

But no matter how angry he was, he could only maintain a smile on his face and admit to Ji Changze: "It's my servant who is stupid. He didn't expect this. Just don't take offense to the Nine Prince Consort."

"Don't be offended, don't be offended. No matter how stupid you are, you are still the person next to the Third Prince Consort. How can I be offended?"

Ma Ying: "..."

He took a deep breath: "Nine Prince Consort, are you seated yet?"

Ji Changze sat comfortably in the car, feeling the coolness inside, and was satisfied:

"Sit down."

"Ah, by the way, I forgot to pay for the tea. Please give it to me."

Ma Ying: "..."

With gritted teeth in his heart, he jumped out of the carriage, took out his copper coins and gave them tea money.

In his entire life as a businessman, he had never experienced anything like this involving paying a prince-consort's bill out of his own pocket, and he had to pay it.

After experiencing so many twists and turns, Ma Ying just wanted to finish her errands quickly.

He drove the car straight to Tianhe Tower.

While Ji Changze was sitting comfortably on the cushions and feeling the ice basin, Ma Ying was sweating profusely and drove the carriage outside Tianhe Tower.

"Nine Prince Consort, we are here, please come down."

Ji Changze, who was sitting comfortably and even considering whether to take a nap, opened the door curtain and swallowed slowly.

After being led into the lobby, the two princes-in-law who were waiting boredly saw him and immediately waved and greeted him affectionately.

Ji Changze went upstairs with a smile:

"Hey, I'm late. It's hot today and I'm weak, so I almost didn't make it."

He sat down and apologized: "I'll punish myself with a drink for keeping you two waiting."

As he said that, he picked up the tea cup to drink. He took a sip and put it down awkwardly: "It turns out to be tea. I thought it was wine."

The third prince-in-law smiled and said: "Ninth prince-in-law wants to drink? That's hard to say. Waiter, bring me the best wine in your shop."

Ji Changze suddenly looked uneasy: "The best? It doesn't have to be so expensive. The wine in Tianhe Tower is said to be very expensive."

Seeing his poor appearance, the Third Prince Consort felt contempt in his heart and smiled on his face:

"It doesn't matter. I'm the prince-in-law. Not to mention a little wine, even if we order the entire Tianhe Tower's food, it's not worth anything to us."

Ji Changze suddenly showed a shocked country bumpkin expression: "Seriously? But a dish at Tianhe Restaurant costs dozens of taels of silver!"

Seeing that he took the bait, the third prince-in-law showed even more disdain on his face:

"We are marrying His Majesty's daughter. A few dozen taels per dish is nothing. Princesses are prosperous. Once we marry a princess, we will naturally follow the rising tide."

He was about to brag about himself again, when he "suddenly remembered" that the Ninth Princess was not favored, so the Ninth Prince Consort's treatment was different from that of their consorts, and they could not be as free and easy as they were.

Before he could speak, Ji Changze was already in high spirits with an "Oh my God, I'm so shocked" look on his face and spoke:

"Then today, let's order all the dishes at Tianhe Restaurant, right?"

The Third Prince Consort: "..."

The smile on his face froze: "Click everything... again?"

"right."

Ji Changze had a relaxed look on his face: "Hahaha, I know this little money is nothing to you."

"Click them all!"

The third prince-in-law turned to look at the fifth prince-in-law.

Tianhe Tower is notoriously expensive in the capital. Even the princes-in-law only come here a few times a month, and most of them use the money given by their parents instead of the prince-son-in-law's salary.

As a consort, of course he had some private money.

But ordering all the dishes at such an expensive Tianhe Restaurant is too much money.

Seeing the fifth prince-in-law nodding towards him, the third prince-in-law managed to squeeze out a smile:

"Haha, haha, then click them all."

Ji Changze nodded repeatedly with admiration in his eyes: "The Third Prince Consort is truly worthy of being the son of the Minister of Justice. With so much money, you don't even blink an eyelid. I'm really envious."

The Third Prince Consort smiled dryly:

"No, this has nothing to do with my father. The glory and money I have today are all due to my status as the consort..."

"It's a pity that the Ninth Prince Consort should be like us. Even if we order all the dishes at Tianhe Tower, for us Prince Consort, it's just...a little bit..."

I looked at the price of each dish on the menu handed over by the waiter, and there were about fifty dishes in the entire menu.

He swallowed and his voice started to sound weak:

"...a little money."
