Traveling through time as a peasant girl, buying a husband and raising a child

Chapter 262: Pingwang Jiangyu

Just as Jiang Jin and Mu Jiaojiao were busy all day and discussed parenting issues, night had already fallen.

At this moment, a big drama was also taking place in Prince Ping's Mansion.

In the room with warm yellow lights, King Ping Jiangyu was standing next to the steaming hot bathtub. He was about to take off his clothes and go into the bath to wash away yesterday's absurdity and fatigue when he heard the voice of the servant outside the door.

"Your Majesty, Madam Ru is here to help you bathe!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yu paused in taking off his clothes. Then, he didn't know what he thought of, and he rarely couldn't control his anger, and yelled at the servant outside.

"Get out! Get out of here!"

Upon hearing this, the servant outside quickly responded with a yes, and soon left in a hurry. Then the room was quiet again, leaving only Jiang Yu with a beating heart due to anger.

This Lady Ru was given to him by King De when he was following him. After he accepted her, he threw her into the backyard and never favored her.

But now he was angry not because of this so-called Madam Ru, but because... because of what happened last night.

Jiang Yu's face was still pale. He calmed down a little and took off his clothes one by one, revealing his fair and strong chest. If it weren't for the bruises and purple spots on it, it would be considered perfect.

His body was still aching at this moment, and after entering the bathtub, the heat from the hot water spread throughout his body.

After a moment, he seemed to come back to life. He immersed his head in the bathtub. Just when he felt he was about to suffocate, a hand suddenly appeared at his waist and pulled him out of the water.

"Cough cough..."

Jiang Yu was pulled out of the water by the people behind him. His face turned red due to the brief suffocation and he couldn't help coughing a few times.

When he came to his senses, he heard an angry voice from a familiar voice.

"What? You don't want to live just because of such a small thing?"

Jiang Yu turned around and what caught his eye was Prince Qi Jiang Qi, whose clothes were soaked with water. He was the one who had just come out of the palace and separated from him.

When he saw the person coming, fear flashed in his eyes and he pushed the person away as if the other person was some monster, and then a look of sneer appeared on his face.

"What? Fourth brother, do you think my Prince Ping's Mansion is your own backyard? You can come and go as you please!"

"A small matter? Of course Fourth Brother thinks it's a small matter!"

"Prince Ping Jiangyu was immoral and kicked the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion. Now he is being punished to reflect on his mistakes in seclusion. This is of course a small matter!"

Jiang Yu looked at Jiang Qi, first accusing Jiang Qi of entering and leaving his mansion bedroom at will, then he thought of the incident in Cuixian Tower, when he and Jiang Qi were summoned to the palace today, and Emperor Xuanhe was furious in the imperial study.

They scolded the two princes for their lack of moral character. Not only did they stay in the same room with the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion for one night, but they also kicked her down the stairs in the early morning. Now her life or death is in danger, causing an uproar in the city and bringing shame to the royal family.

Jiang Qi then explained to Xuan Hedi that they were really happy for Jiang Jin because of her wedding yesterday, and they made an appointment to go to Cuixian Tower to drink and then get drunk.

This morning he woke up and found that Tang Qianqian had evil intentions, so in a rage he kicked Tang Qianqian out of the private room. However, he didn't control the strength well and kicked her down the stairs. Jiang Qi was full of regret for this and asked Xuan Hedi to punish him for his negligence.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xuanhe was naturally furious, but now that the incident had already happened and everyone knew about it, the Minister of Personnel Tang Xuchi even knelt outside the imperial study and begged for justice. In order to save the royal family's face, Tang Xuchi was appeased.

After weighing the pros and cons, Emperor Xuanhe ordered that all official duties in Jiang Yu's hands be taken away and ordered him to reflect on his mistakes for a year. Jiang Qi was punished with a light punishment of three months as a warning to others.

After hearing this oral order, Jiang Qi looked at Jiang Yu, who had been pale and expressionless from beginning to end, and wanted to ask Emperor Xuanhe to revoke his decision, but Emperor Xuanhe hit him on the waist with an inkstone and said that he was not allowed to discuss it anymore, so he stopped talking.

Jiang Yu accepted the imperial edict expressionlessly. His mother was born a palace maid and was given the title of Baolin after giving birth to him. However, she was injured during childbirth and died when he was five years old.

He had been disliked by Emperor Xuanhe since he was a child. After his mother passed away, the palace servants flattered the powerful and bullied the weak, and he suffered all kinds of cold treatment. He had never felt the warmth of the royal family and was accustomed to hypocrisy and ugliness. When he heard Emperor Xuanhe put all the faults on himself, he felt only ridicule in his heart, not disappointment.

Emperor Xuanhe did this simply because he did not have a strong maternal family behind him and could not stir up any trouble. After all, his fourth brother Jiang Qi's mother was now Concubine Jing, and although his maternal family, the Song family, was not prominent in the past, it was gradually getting better.

Ah!

In the final analysis, his son is dispensable and can provide little value!

After everything was settled, he dragged his exhausted body back to the house. The first thing he wanted to do was to wash off the filth on his body and then forget everything that happened last night. He never expected that his good fourth brother would dare to appear in front of him.

"Pingyi, I was worried about you, so I took the liberty to break into Prince Ping's mansion!"

Tonight, Prince Qi looked at Jiang Yu, who was on high alert and wanted to stay away from him. A trace of heartache flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but call Jiang Yu by his courtesy name.

"Regarding today's matter, I didn't expect the Emperor to be so decisive. But don't worry, once the Emperor's anger subsides, I will do my best to negotiate and ask the Emperor to release you as soon as possible."

"But, Pingyi, you promised Fourth Brother that you won't commit suicide, okay?"

When Jiang Yu heard his words, his expression did not relax at all. He was full of disdain for his words, and his tone was full of sarcasm.

"Your Highness Prince Qi, please don't worry about me! Prince Qi, please go back. You are not welcome in Prince Ping's Mansion from now on!"

When Jiang Qi heard this, his eyes were filled with anxiety. Then he seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Jiang Yu in the water, who had handsome features but a cold face towards him, and started talking to himself.

"Pingyi, what happened last night was my fault, but please believe me, I...I can't help myself."

"I'm a man of color, so don't worry, I will be responsible for you in the future!"

After saying this, without waiting for Jiang Yu to react, he disappeared from the room in his wet clothes and returned to Prince Qi's Mansion under the cover of night.

Jiang Yu was shocked after hearing this. When he came to his senses, there was no one in the room. A surge of anger surged from the bottom of his heart, and he picked up the handkerchief beside the bathtub and threw it into the water.

"Jiang Qi, you'd better stay away from me from now on!"

"Otherwise I swear to kill you!"

……

What the two of them didn't know was that everything that happened tonight was seen by Li Jiangmo, the owner of the No. 1 Building in the World, who was walking by as he hurried back to Yudu.

"Ha ha……"

"interesting!"
