Daming Palace, inner study room
The emperor and empress sat opposite each other.
Looking at the beauty with melancholy eyes, Emperor Chongping nodded and said softly: "Zi Tong should go home first. Zi Yu and Xian Ning should be arriving in Jinling soon. I will join them."
I can feel more at ease.”
Empress Song's curved eyebrows revealed a worried look in her beautiful eyes, and said: "Then I'll take care of myself when I go back. Your Majesty should pay attention to your health in the capital."
Emperor Chongping waved his hands and said comfortingly: "My body is fine. Zitong will go there. In addition, I will bring several imperial doctors and precious medicinal herbs from the palace with me. Song Gong has made great contributions to the country, and now he is just suffering from a minor illness.
Zitong still needs to wait a little longer to seek medical advice, and in addition, let the King of Liang listen to him."
The Empress of Song Dynasty could never be alone. Not to mention other things, she needed someone to do all the shopping on the road. King Wei was the eldest son, so it was inconvenient to take him with her. However, King Chen Wei of Liang was at hand to listen to her orders, and she became a
As it should be.
As for the Beijing camp, Jinyi Mansion escorted them along the way to ensure everything was safe, which was the top priority.
They even had flying pigeons to send a message to Jia Heng to greet him on the road.
Empress Song's clear and rippled phoenix eyes were somewhat reluctant to leave, and she said: "Your Majesty, take care of yourself, I will go back."
Emperor Chongping comforted him and said, "Just go."
After the Empress of the Song Dynasty left, Emperor Chongping picked up the memorial again, but this was Jia Heng's second memorial. He read it and looked thoughtful on his face.
Henan has many fewer constraints than Jiangnan, so the implementation of the New Deal is much smoother. However, Shi Ding and Peng Ye are constantly arguing over whether they can successfully handle the New Deal.
Regardless of Emperor Chongping's concerns, Empress Song left the study room in Hanyuan Hall and headed for the harem surrounded by female officials.
The queen's trip is naturally unusual, and there are many things that need to be considered.
At this time, the eunuch in charge of the Sixth Palace came to the palace and saluted Queen Song.
Empress Song handed over the travel arrangements, and when Xia Shouzhong said he wanted to resign, the beauty frowned, her fair skin and jade face covered with a layer of suspicion, and said, "What did the Jia family say earlier?"
Xia Shouzhong wanted to attach his own daughter to the Jia family, but naturally he could not hide it from Empress Song, who was the lord of the Sixth Palace.
Xia Shouzhong composed himself and said cautiously: "The Mrs. Rongguo of Rongguo Mansion did not agree. The young master who was born with a jade in his mouth seems to have his heart."
Empress Song thought for a while and said, "If it's not allowed, forget it. The Jia family has a high lintel. Even if it is the second wife of the Rongguo lineage, it is not something that a merchant's family can match."
It's not the little fox that's causing trouble, it seems really inappropriate.
"What the empress said is true, but I don't know how generous the world is." Xia Shouzhong said with a smile on his fair face, "However, what the old lady said made me have other ideas."
"What are you talking about?" Queen Song raised her beautiful eyebrows, and there seemed to be a dark light shining in her narrow and bright phoenix eyes.
Xia Shouzhong said in a low voice: "Madam, Duke Wei has a friendship with the girl of the Xue family who was the former imperial merchant of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and she will take a concubine in the future. The girl of the Xue family has a brother named Xue Pan, who once lived in Jinling.
He killed someone by mistake, and now he is regarded as a bad guy by the soldiers and horses of the five cities. He can also be regarded as the brother-in-law of Duke Wei."
Just after Jia's mother said that "trouble will be diverted to the east", the Xia family's nanny really paid attention to it and told the Xia family about it when she went back.
According to ordinary people, most people would feel disgusted after hearing this letter, but when the head wife of the Xia family heard it, she felt that there was a way.
As for Xue Pan accidentally beating someone to death, the Xia family didn't think anything of it. It's not like the Xia family had never killed someone.
I'm just curious, with the power of the Jia family, how could Xue Pan be imprisoned?
Later, the nanny said: "This is probably to control me, lest I cause big trouble again."
The Xia family also accepted this statement.
Again, the Xia family's background was not very good. It was through Xia Shouzhong's path that they contracted the flower and tree nursery business in the palace.
Empress Song thought for a while and said: "If the Xue family is really related to Duke Wei, you can handle this matter yourself and don't build any grudges over this matter."
"This slave is awake," Xia Shouzhong said in a low voice.
Empress Song explained something, waved her hand to signal Xia Shouzhong to step back, then held her smooth jade forehead with a delicate hand and sighed quietly.
Her father spent a lot of effort so that she and her sister could marry King Yong and even become the lord of the Sixth Palace. Later, because he was worried that His Majesty would be jealous, he moved to the sacred capital to be raised in honor. It didn't take long for her to be old.
Yes.
The beauty is currently leaning on a phoenix chair carved with phoenixes and phoenixes. Under her graceful bun is a face as gorgeous as a hibiscus flower. Her pink lips are slightly pursed, and a few tears are flowing from the corners of her eyes.
The characteristic of being in the palace is that unless there is a national mourning, the people in the palace cannot cry but must laugh. Even the queen who is the mother of the world cannot cry bitterly and can only shed tears silently.
Just as Empress Song was thinking about it, the voice of the female official interrupted the beauty's chaotic thoughts and said softly: "Your Majesty, Concubine Rong is here."
When Empress Song heard this, her beautiful eyes with curved eyelashes and tightly closed eyes opened slightly, and her phoenix eyes seemed to reflect Concubine Rong who was coming not far away.
"Sister, what did Your Majesty say?" Concubine Duanrong approached and asked softly, catching the tears in the corner of the beauty's eyes, her heart trembled, and she said softly: "Sister."
Empress Song took the handkerchief and gently wiped her tears, and said softly: "Your Majesty has agreed."
Concubine Duanrong sighed and said softly: "Sister can go back, but I can only stay here."
Empress Song's face showed sadness as she said, "If my father can't survive this time, this will be his last time."
"Sister." Concubine Duanrong pressed Empress Song's bare hand and said comfortingly: "Father, he knows how to maintain health, so he should be fine."
Empress Song said: "Your Majesty asked you to prepare some good medicinal materials and royal doctors to help my father diagnose and treat me."
Concubine Duanrong said: "Sister, you have to be careful on this journey. Although the world is peaceful, you still have to be cautious."
"Wei'er escorted me on the way. After arriving in Luoyang, Ziyu should send a fast horse over. My trip is not a trivial matter. I need to prepare for it for a few days." Empress Song said softly.
Not to mention the conversation between the two, the changing of light and shadow, the rotation of time and space, let’s talk about Jia Heng in Xuzhou.
On the flag ship, a string of lanterns hanging on the mast swayed in the wind, and the orange-red light and shadow spread everywhere.
As night fell, Jia Heng sat in the cabin, hugging Li Chanyue, and said, "How was Chanyue playing with the sisters these days?"
Li Chanyue said softly: "They are all very good, very kind.
Compared to Princess Xianning, who was born as an imperial daughter and has a tall figure, Princess Qinghe gave the golden hairpins in Ningrong and Rong a more friendly impression, and she was more willing to joke.
In fact, it also has something to do with her mentality. Princess Xianning was very kind to Baochai. Among the other girls, she only thought that Xiangyun was lively, cute, straightforward and innocent. She admired Tanchun a little, and treated her as her sister-in-law.
He was polite, but he looked at the indifferent Xiuyan one more time, but he didn't get close to her.
Wen Qi and the two were treated as little girls.
The Zhen sisters are regarded as concubines (playthings), but in fact, the two snow dolls Baochai and Baoqin have very different perceptions in Xianning's eyes.
As for Feng Wan and the sisters-in-law, I don’t know the details for the time being, so I can’t say much about their impressions.
Li Chanyue, on the other hand, didn't have so many ideas. Instead, she could say a few words to anyone. Because of her status and humility, Baochai secretly admired her.
When people get along with each other, some things can be felt without saying anything.
In fact, this perception is also related to the personalities of several people. Although Baoqin is as charming and charming as Xiangyun, she is more of a scheming girl and will be sensed by Xianning. Naturally, she will not be treated like Xiangyun.
Jia Heng said: "Where is cousin Yan'er?"
At this time, Princess Xianning said softly: "I just chatted with cousin Yan'er for a while. She and Xi'er from the Zhen family had a good time. The two of them usually talked and laughed."
Jia Heng said: "Then it's good that they can play together."
There is a saying that things flock together and people flock together.
Song Yan is quieter and usually plays more with Zhen Xi and Xichun.
In fact, although Chan Yue is also Wen Jing, Wen Jing is different from Wen Jing. Chan Yue is a blind man eating dumplings and knows what he is doing.
Princess Xianning said: "Wait a minute, I will call cousin Yan'er over? Or I will sleep in the same room with cousin Yan'er tonight, and the husband will come over secretly tonight."
Jia Heng's heart skipped a beat and he said, "Nonsense."
"What do you think, sir?" Princess Xianning's fair-skinned face turned red with embarrassment. She took Jia Heng's hand, looked at Jia Heng with her clear eyes for a moment, and said, "Sir, you came here secretly to do it for me."
Even if Yan'er knew about it at that time, she could only pretend to be asleep. How interesting would it be to hold Yan'er's hand when she was in love?
Jia Heng's expression changed slightly and he said softly: "I'm not going anywhere today, I'm just going to stay with Chan Yue, right, Chan Yue."
He really doesn't refuse anyone who comes, and now, he is more motivated by merit.
The emperor's memorial also reminded him that the power of God is unpredictable.
Li Chanyue's cheeks turned red with embarrassment. She held Jia Heng's hand, turned her delicate face, and said, "Husband."
I will accompany her no matter what. This means how important she is, almost surpassing her cousin.
Can you... say more in the future?
