Princess seize the throne from her husband's mistress

Chapter 12: Chapter 12 Give the Princess the Greatest Respect



Butler Cheng was stunned when he heard this, "Give each person another gift?"

"I can't afford it?" Although the Duke of Heng Estate was not valued by the emperor, the Duke himself was a person with an abundance of private property after all.

Butler Cheng shook his head, "You can afford it, you can afford it, I'll do it right away."

Xie Shang slept in Jiang Fenghua's bedroom for two consecutive nights. Butler Cheng thought that he liked this princess very much, so he only chose good gifts.

The Jiang Mansion is located on Yangliu Street in the north of the city. Jiang Huai is a junior tutor in the Imperial Academy and one of the many junior tutors in the Imperial Academy. Because of his good teaching methods, outstanding moral character, and long tenure, he has been awarded as an excellent junior tutor many times and is very respected.

However, he missed many opportunities for promotion because he did not fight for it. He stayed in the Imperial Academy to teach the princes, princesses and sons of officials. The fact that such a family was chosen by the Queen as the Princess of Heng was something the Jiang family could not exchange for even if they burned incense for eight lifetimes. Everyone agreed that the Jiang family was lucky to be able to become a royal relative.

Because today was the day when the Princess of Heng returned home, Master Jiang was given a day off. Madam Jiang could not sleep since the early hours of last night and started to work in the kitchen. Jiang Rumeng, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, and her husband Jin Ji also arrived at the Jiang Mansion early in the morning.

The whole family of Jiang Mansion was afraid of neglecting His Royal Highness the Duke of Heng, so they all dressed up and changed into new clothes, looking forward to it, until the servant of Jiang Mansion hurried over, "Here they are, here they are, the carriages of the Duke of Heng's Estate has arrived at the entrance of the alley, three carriages in total..."

Master Jiang and his wife and children went to the gate to greet them, and only then did they see the carriages of the Duke of Heng's Estate coming slowly from afar, looking very imposing.

The first carriage stopped in front of the Jiang Mansion, and Butler Cheng came forward to greet them, and then ordered the guards of the Duke to unload the return gifts.

Next to arrive was another luxurious carriage, Xie Shang got off the carriage first, and Jiang Fenghua was supported by a maid and slowly got out.

Madam Jiang looked at her handsome son-in-law and smiled from ear to ear. She was stunned for a moment. Master Jiang quickly pulled his wife and signaled everyone in the Jiang family to follow him in paying respects. "Your humble servants, pay respects to the Duke of Heng and Heng Wangfei."

Seeing her parents paying respects to her, Jiang Fenghua's eyes turned slightly red. She knew that this was royal etiquette, so she let them do it.

Xie Shang saw that she was about to cry again, and said in a deep voice, "Jiang...father-in-law and mother-in-law, please don't be polite."

Everyone in the Jiang family stood up.

The next second, Xie Shang suddenly took Jiang Fenghua from the maid, picked her up and explained, "The princess sprained her ankle when she entered the palace yesterday. It is inconvenient for her to move. This Duke will carry her in."

Jiang Fenghua thought that he would carry her out of the carriage, but she didn't think that he would call her parents father-in-law and mother-in-law. She was a little stunned for a moment. After all, in their last life, he didn't even bother to see them. The Jiang family was glorious for a while because of her, but was despised by the world for a lifetime. Everyone in the Jiang family suffered for this, all because the man she married didn't like her.

Xie Shang said to Jiang Huai again, "Father-in-law, is there a place to rest for a while? The princess's foot is a little inconvenient."

"Go sit in the main hall." Jiang Huai glanced at his daughter's legs, full of worry, but didn't go forward to check it.

"Father, don't worry. It's the prince who is making a fuss. Your daughter is actually fine." Jiang Fenghua said with a smile.

Jiang Huai glared at his daughter, his eyes full of heartache, "Dinner will be served soon. Ruan Ruan will accompany the prince first... I'll go see your mother and your second sister." He originally wanted to walk around, but seeing that her feet were inconvenient, he didn't say much.

Xie Shang nodded, and went all the way to the main hall.

When Xie Shang put her on the chair, she spoke softly, "Thank you."

Xie Shang raised his eyebrows at her, leaned close to her ear and whispered, "This is finally decent enough!"

Jiang Fenghua's cheeks were slightly flushed, and she lowered her head slightly, as if she had a very harmonious relationship with the Duke of Heng as his wife. Her pretty face was filled with shyness, and she whispered in his ear again, "Well, thank you, thank you so much."

They had only known each other for three days, but Xie Shang had heard her say thank you so many times. Was she satisfied with this?

At this time, Jiang Zhiqin, the fourth young master of the Jiang family, walked towards them with a smile, "Zhiqin greets the prince's brother-in-law, and the third sister is well."

Then, he bowed to Xie Shang again, "Thank you for the gift from the third brother-in-law."

Xie Shang paused. The boy in front of him was about thirteen or fourteen years old. He had the same eyebrows and eyes as Jiang Fenghua. His smiling face looked unrestrained and very beautiful. He was a little embarrassed, "No need to thank me."

"The inkstone in Zixuan may not be bought even if you have money. I will definitely treasure it." Jiang Zhiqin's eyes were full of brilliance. He really liked the gift very much.

Xie Shang was very happy to see that the things he prepared were so liked by others.

Jiang Rumeng also came over in person to call them to the side hall for dinner. She also expressed her gratitude to the Duke of Heng, and affectionately called him "brother-in-law."

The gift she received was a set of expensive jewelry produced by Cuiyuxuan. Jiang Rumeng's appearance was also top-notch. Both sisters inherited the beauty of their mother Feng Jingyuan. Jiang Rumeng is now 24 years old and is the mother of two children. Her figure is still in good shape and she looks even more charming.

Xie Shang not only prepared jewelry for Jiang Rumeng, but also prepared toys for her two children. They were the latest models on the market, and naturally they were bought by Cheng Guanjia for this occasion.

Jiang Rumeng's husband Jin Ji was a businessman. Xie Shang gave him a golden abacus. The Jin family was not short of money, but the gift from the prince was of extraordinary significance, so he naturally loved it.

Jiang's mother cried with joy when she saw that her daughter married so well and was loved by her husband so much. Jiang Fenghua hugged her mother and comforted her, "Daughter is living well, why are you crying again?"

"Mother is really happy." Jiang's mother couldn't stop crying, "Ruan Ruan married the husband of her dreams, mother is happy."

Jiang Rumeng was really happy for her sister, and whispered, "Originally, I thought that my third sister would live a lonely life after marrying into the Duke of Heng's Estate. Now it seems that His Royal Highness the Duke of Heng is not only handsome, but also considerate. Mother is right, my third sister really married the husband of her dreams."

Jiang Fenghua lowered her head to drink the soup, pretending to be shy, thinking to herself: They don't know that in our last life, not only did she not bring a return gift, but Xie Shang didn't even look at her. The Duke of Heng personally welcomed Concubine Su into the house in a bright red wedding dress. She was invited to drink the matriarch's tea, and everyone pointed fingers at her and humiliated her. She became the biggest joke in the whole Shengjing City. Her heart was bleeding when she saw them loving each other.

The banquet was divided into two tables, one for men and one for women, separated by a four-season screen embroidered with plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum.

Xie Shang happened to be sitting with his back on Jiang Fenghua. Hearing Madam Jiang sobbing, he thought to himself, "Jiang Fenghua's crying habit may be inherited from her mother. Her mother looks gentle and kind."

Jiang Huai was also very happy. After drinking some wine, he began to apply his principles of life to the wine table. "The prince is now the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture. This position is very important. It is closely related to the lives of the people... "

"Oh, Jiang Huai, how much horse urine have you drunk? You start preaching again, right? My son-in-law is a prince. Doesn't he understand these principles better than you? Can you let people eat properly?" Feng Jingyuan's delicate voice suddenly came from the other side of the screen.

Jiang Huai was yelled at, and he shut up instantly. He raised his wine glass and said to Xie Shang, "Your Highness, I toast to you."

Xie Shang was shocked and a little amused. He didn't expect that Master Jiang was a henpecked husband at home, and he didn't expect that Jiang Fenghua's mother's mood would change so much. He raised his wine glass and took a sip to hide his awkwardness.

Jiang Zhiqin didn't drink. In order to break the embarrassment, he quickly changed the subject, "Your Highness, brother-in-law, don't just drink. Eat more vegetables. These dishes are all made by mother herself, and they are all her specialties."

Jin Ji also said, "Mother-in-law's cooking skills are excellent." His voice was full of flattery.

Jiang Huai didn't dare to say a word when he was yelled at, and ate honestly. His appearance was very different from his majesty and prestige in the school.

The Jiang family was happy, and Xie Shang felt a little sad. Looking at the mountains of delicacies in the bowl in front of him, he didn't dislike it and ate with big mouthfuls.

These were all picked up for him by Jin Ji with the serving chopsticks. Seeing this, Jin Ji felt flattered. Not only did he eat at the same table and drink from the same pot with His Royal Highness the Duke of Heng, he also ate the dishes he picked up for him. The most face-saving thing was that His Royal Highness Duke of Heng was his brother-in-law.

Xie Shang had never felt so relaxed before. He was so happy that he drank more wine.

As for the Su Mansion, Xie Shang also sent his confidant to deliver the message as soon as possible, saying that he would marry her on another auspicious day. Jiang Fenghua also promised that their wedding would be grand and that Su Tingwan would never suffer any grievances.

Jiang Fenghua was able to do this, and he thought she was very generous, so he made concessions. Wanwan was an open-minded woman and would definitely understand.
