On the day of my tragic death, I was reborn and married to the Regent
Chapter 71 Don’t Hurt Her
On the second day after returning home, Prince Jin's mansion sent her some things and told her to have a good rest.
Five days later, she received a letter asking her to go out for a meeting.
Jiang Nian went to the appointment as usual. Princess Jin finally left the house today while Prince Jin was away.
Seeing Jiang Nian come in, he quickly said, "You're finally back, come and sit down."
Jiang Nian sat down, and Princess Jin said apologetically, "You just returned home. I didn't want to disturb you so early, but there is something I want to ask you."
"Princess, please speak."
"These days, I think there seems to be something wrong with His Royal Highness Prince Jin."
"What's wrong?"
"It's just..." Princess Jin hesitated, "It's just... he seems to have no interest in women."
Ever since she married into the palace, Prince Jin has been inseparable from women. Although he doesn't come to her house, there are always women sent to his room every day.
But in the past few days, Prince Jin has not called anyone for a long time. She has inquired about it, and the people around Prince Jin are unwilling to say anything. Those who are willing to say are also vague in their words. But Princess Jin still vaguely guessed it, so she called Jiang Nian today.
"Could it be that the tonic you gave me last time took effect?"
When Prince Jin encountered such a situation, the first thing she thought of was what Jiang Nian had given her.
She had consulted the imperial physician about the tonic before, and the physician said it was a good prescription. It wasn't that she didn't trust Jiang Nian, but if there was any mistake, she and the Marquis' Mansion would be completely finished.
She did not take the initiative to give the tonic to King Jin, but just mentioned it, and King Jin agreed. After drinking it a few times, King Jin felt that the tonic was good, so he kept drinking it.
After I had health problems, I consulted the imperial physician, but I did not stop taking the tonics and I am still drinking them now, so the problem should not have been exposed.
"Don't worry, Princess. What I have is indeed a tonic. If you need it, you can drink a few doses."
"Then why......"
"Most people will be fine after drinking it, but this medicine...you have to avoid certain foods."
As for what to avoid eating, Jiang Nian didn't say, but Princess Jin understood it.
What does the King of Jin live without most? Naturally, women. Could this tonic have such an effect?
"Then...if I stop taking the medicine, will I recover?"
"Yes, but it's not that easy to recover."
If he doesn't take care of himself for a few years, his body might not be able to recover. Besides, can the King of Jin give up women?
If it was something like that between a normal couple, it wouldn't have any impact, but Prince Jin was a lustful man, and no one could stand it if he did this every day.
The Prince of Jin has no children yet. As long as he is a prince who cannot have an heir, His Majesty will naturally not pay attention to him. How much honor and favor can the mother of a prince who is not valued by His Majesty get?
Princess Jin said worriedly, "But he's still thinking about you recently, so you have to be careful."
"I know."
"I heard that you went out with His Royal Highness Prince Yan?"
Jiang Nian paused and asked, "How did the princess know?"
"It was the Prince of Jin who said that. I don't know where the news came from, but he's been scolding His Highness the Prince of Yan for several days in the palace, saying that he seduced you. He heard that there's a banquet in the palace today to select a princess for the Prince of Yan, and all the eligible noble ladies from the capital are attending. He's so angry that his teeth are itching, and he even said it would be a shame if those beautiful girls really ended up in the Prince of Yan's palace."
He had no idea what kind of person he was, but he started to make up stories about Prince Yan.
"His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan is going to marry a princess?"
"I heard it was His Majesty's idea, but... don't be too sad. People in the royal family are always heartless. Even if the King of Yan promised you something, you must not take it to heart. For people like us, a simple and ordinary life is the best."
Jiang Nian knew that Princess Jin had misunderstood, and said with a smile, "His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan and I have nothing to do with each other. This time, I asked His Royal Highness for a favor. His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan has done me a favor, and I would be happy if he could marry the princess."
It would be good to marry a princess, so that she can completely sever ties with Prince Yan. She hopes that the people in the palace can make this matter a reality and marry him off quickly, so that she can rest assured.
Seeing that the expression on Jiang Nian's face didn't seem fake, Princess Jin breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. The royal family is not a good place. It's better not to come here."
The royal family is indeed not a good place. Someone like her would probably not survive even two days in there.
As soon as Princess Jin left, Princess Anle sent someone to look for her.
"Today, the Emperor is going to choose a princess for my third brother. Did you know?"
Jiang Nian shook his head: "I don't know."
"You're not in a hurry?"
Jiang Nian laughed: "Is it useful for me to be anxious?"
Princess Anle was stunned. That was true, His Majesty meant that even if her third brother had objections, it wouldn't work, not to mention Jiang Nian.
"But are you just going to watch Third Brother marry someone else?"
What else could she do if she didn't watch? Jiang Nian wished the King of Yan would marry quickly, otherwise this man would be like a knife hanging over her head every day, ready to fall at any moment.
"Your Highness, this kind of thing will not happen just because I don't want it to. I am happy for His Highness the Prince of Yan to have a woman he likes and to get married." Jiang Nian said this sincerely, without any hint of anger.
Princess Anle was also confused. Didn't she say she loved her third brother very much? Wasn't she sad to hear that her third brother was going to marry a princess?
If it were her, she would definitely make a scene. Even if she couldn't change the situation in the end, at least she could vent her anger.
She thought that with Jiang Nian's temper, he would always make a fuss. He would make a fuss in public but cry pitifully behind the scenes.
But today's reaction is really too generous.
However, given Third Brother's temper, this may not succeed.
After coming out of the teahouse, Jiang Nian was still worried. She was not worried about Prince Yan, but she was worried about Prince Jin.
I don’t know how the King of Jin is liked by His Majesty. How can His Majesty value such an eccentric person?
Who knows, Prince Jin might mention her at some point, and if he does, it will be bad.
I just hope that Prince Jin will not harm her.
Inside the palace, Xuanhe Hall.
Several of Emperor Jianning's sons who had not yet married a wife were here. Since they were going to meet each other today, they might as well come together.
Prince Yan sat in the seat closest to Emperor Jianning, with his head down and not saying a word. Above him were Emperor Jianning, the Empress Dowager, and Concubine Chen, all looking down with smiles on their faces.
Concubine Chen glanced at her son and her face immediately darkened. What a useless guy! Today we are here to choose partners for the unmarried princes. What is he doing here?
I heard that he brought two more people back to the mansion a few days ago. Today, all the girls here are from prominent families, and this is not the time for him to act recklessly.
The King of Jin was naturally not after the girls here. Although he loved beauties, he was not really stupid.
He hadn't even succeeded in getting the person, so why should the taciturn Prince of Yan snatch him away?
Today he would ask his father to issue an edict to marry Jiang Nian to him.
Every family knows why they came today. Because they know this, the girls are nervous, not knowing who their final destination will be.
Most people in the hall looked at Prince Yan, but Prince Yan never raised his head from beginning to end, as if it had nothing to do with him.
Emperor Jianning, who was at the top of the table, finally spoke: "Which one is the daughter of the Xue family?"
