Chapter 1087 Baochai: He can give it, but I can’t take it.
…
Jinling, Ningguofu
In the hall of the back house, a group of brightly dressed orioles and swallows were discussing non-stop. When they heard the grandma announcing the arrival of Princess Xianning, they all stopped what they were doing and looked up eagerly.
I could see the drizzle and breeze, the beautiful courtyard, and under the eaves of the corridor where the rain hung like curtains. A slim and graceful girl wearing an aqua dress, accompanied by several female officials, and
The little princess Li Chanyue entered the hall together.
Xiangyun trotted over to meet her, with an innocent smile on her round, red apple face, and called out: "Sister Xianning, you're here."
Princess Xianning also had a smile on her face, gently took the little girl's soft hand, and said softly: "Sister Yun, I haven't seen her for a few days, and I look like I have gained weight again."
Xiangyun: "..."
Who is fat?
The girl's pink cheeks with baby fat were filled with rose-red aura, and she said: "Sister Xianning, how can I not be fat?"
Princess Xianning smiled, pinched her pink cheeks, and said, "She said she's not fat yet, her face is quite round."
Everyone smiled and looked at the girl talking to Princess Xianning.
Sanchun, Chaidai, Wenqi, Xiuyan, Baoqin and Li Wan all stood up and saluted Princess Xianning.
Princess Xianning said softly: "We are all sisters and we often visit each other. Okay, please sit down. Let's talk more comfortably."
His eyes fell on the faces of the people outside Sanchun, and he thought to himself, no wonder the husband is not obsessed with her, Chanyue, and Sister Xiaoxiao. The orioles and swallows in front of him seemed like a spring garden full of flowers, colorful and colorful, which made people dizzying.
Dazzled.
At this moment, Sister Feng approached with a cloud of fragrant fragrance. Her beautiful face was as beautiful as a flower, with a bright smile. Her red lips parted lightly and she said: "Your Highness Xianning, this is the lychee in the mansion. Your Highness, come here."
It’s just right, give it a try.”
Princess Xianning smiled, looked at the beautifully dressed young woman, walked closer and said, "Sister-in-law Laofeng is here."
Sister Feng smiled and said, "Your Highness, you're welcome."
The way a noble person like this behaves with others is really refreshing.
Daiyu looked at the dignified, graceful and gorgeous beauty, her starry eyes flickered, and she clenched her handkerchief, feeling somewhat complicated in her heart.
This Tianhuang noblewoman is also the official wife of Heng's eldest brother Ming Media. Compared with her, she is probably like a firefly to a bright moon?
When the girl thought about this, her heart couldn't help but feel sad, and her smoky brows seemed to have a layer of gloomy color.
Baochai also looked at the imperial daughter of the clan, her moist apricot eyes flashed, she pursed her red lips without rouge, and her mood was a little unnatural.
This kind of imperial daughter was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and grew up, so few people could match her. Even if she became the princess of the county, she would probably not be able to compare with her.
Princess Xianning sat down, met the eyes of Chai Dai and San Chun, and said, "I came here mainly to talk to you about my husband."
As soon as these words came out, Baochai and Daiyu's originally complex and dejected mood gradually subsided, and they all stared at the girl in unison.
Sanchun, Lanxi, Yunqin, Wenqi, Xingxiuyan, and Fengwan also looked at the emperor's daughter, with curiosity in their eyes.
Princess Xianning smiled and said: "The latest news from Beijing has been published in the newspaper. Sir, he won the battle in the northwest, defeated the enemy's 50,000 elite troops, and captured the Jurchen Prince Yue Tuo. I think it won't be long before we can predict the war in the northwest."
.”
When everyone heard this, they were shocked and immediately overjoyed.
Tan Chunying's charming face was filled with joy, and she asked: "Brother Heng has won the battle. Recently, the Jinling Residence newspaper has said everything, which makes people worried."
Princess Xianning nodded and said in a clear voice: "After half a month of stalemate, we won the first battle! I also know a little about the daily newspapers and scholarly public opinion during this period in the south of the Yangtze River. Many people say that the reason why your brother Heng stopped advancing is because
Being defeated by Heshuote Mongolia and unable to do anything, now it seems that they are all just talk on paper by rotten scholars."
Tan Chun's bright eyes flashed, and he asked softly: "So it must be Brother Heng's deliberate strategy to hold back the troops at the mountain stronghold."
"Yes, because the soldiers and horses of the Heshuote Mongolia are all cavalry, and they come and go without a trace on the grassland. If they are not attracted to a place, it is difficult to annihilate the main force. Now they just gathered together to annihilate them. This battle destroyed the Heshuote Mongolia.
With 50,000 elite troops, the situation in the northwest has been decided from now on." Princess Xianning said softly, her eyes shining with thought.
Tan Chun was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Zhen Lan and said with emotion: "It's because Sister Lan was right just now."
As soon as these words came out, Princess Xianning looked at Zhen Lan in surprise and asked with a smile: "What did Sister Lan just say?"
Of course Princess Xianning knew about Lan Xi and the two of them, or the woman next to Jia Heng, the imperial daughter of the clan who was already the wife of Jia Heng Ningguo, gradually knew everything about them.
Tanchun said in a complicated tone: "Sister Lan said that Brother Heng was holding back, so she had a deeper meaning. Perhaps she was gathering together to annihilate him based on the habits of Heshuote Mongolia."
Although she had just felt that Brother Heng had other deep intentions, she was not convinced about it.
Chai Dai, Ying Xi, and Feng Wan all looked at the third young lady of the Zhen family.
Baochai's apricot eyes under Cuiyu's beautiful eyebrows took a deep look at Zhen Lan. She knew from the beginning that this Miss Zhen San was not an economical lamp.
Sister Feng said with a smile: "A lady from an official family is far more knowledgeable than others."
Zhen Lan felt the gazes of those pairs of eyes, the lines were slightly cold, and her mean cheeks were suddenly dyed crimson, but her clear eyes met them, but she was not timid.
This was the time when she showed her ability in front of Chai Dai and others in the mansion.
It's this little sister Tanchun. Although she is older, she has not been called sister. Next time in front of Brother Heng, she must be called sister-in-law.
Zhen Lan was calm and composed, while Zhen Xi on the side lowered her aura-like eyebrows in embarrassment and thought to herself, how did the third sister guess it?
Zhen Lan's face was flushed, and there seemed to be an unspeakable charm in her voice, and she said: "I also deduced it based on the situation. I thought that no matter what Brother Heng said, he would not stand still. He probably had a plan. It turned out to be true.
If you have a plan, that's right. The Hoshuote Mongols don't have many soldiers and horses, and they will suffer more than half of their casualties in one fell swoop. After this battle, the situation in the northwest is really settled."
Princess Xianning looked at the third young lady of the Zhen family. For some reason, she vaguely thought of a person in her mind, and said with a smile: "No wonder sir, he often mentions you. You are such a knowledgeable person."
"Your Highness, thank you very much." Zhen Lan lowered her eyebrows and said softly.
This Tianhuang nobleman has a respected status, but she can't face her now.
At this time, Li Chanyue took out a copy of the newspaper and delivered it to her. Zangxing Yunyue's eyes flashed brightly and she said softly: "Sister Lin, take a look."
While talking, he handed it to Daiyu who was standing aside.
Daiyu stretched out her slender hands to take the newspaper. Under her smoky brows, her bright starry eyes were overflowing with joy. She handed it to Baochai beside her and said, "Sister Bao, take a look at this."
Baochai was feeling uneasy and reached out to take the newspaper. Her moist apricot eyes seemed to reflect the words, and a slight blush appeared on her plump and white face.
He won another great victory this time. After this battle, he should be able to become a first-class Duke.
It is possible for a first-class duke who is less than twenty years old to be named a county king in the future.
Xiangyun and Xichun also came closer, with a cute apple-round face and a delicate and petite face with a look of joy. They took the Di newspaper and read it.
Xiangyun smiled sweetly and said: "In this battle, Brother Heng also captured the Jurchen prince alive. How many Jurchen princes is this?"
Bao Qin had a faint smile on her plump face and said softly: "There used to be a man named Duduo who was captured alive by Brother Heng. Now this one should be the second one."
In the past few days, the little fat girl has followed Baochai and helped with the sea trade business.
Although Sister Feng was curious about the Di Bao, she didn't know much and didn't get close to it. After hearing Princess Xianning, Zhen Lan, Tan Chun and others talking happily, she knew that the man had won a victorious battle in the northwest.
He has always been unparalleled in the world when it comes to fighting, but of course other things...
Remember, when she came out of the Willow Alley and was not allowed to make loan sharks, why didn't she think that he would bully her so cruelly later?
Li Wan also stretched out his slender hand to take the newspaper and read it. There was also a faint blush on Wen Ning's elegant face.
I was a little worried about him originally, but it seems I was overly worried before.
Princess Xianning's tone was brisk and she said in a clear voice: "Sir, after this great victory, we will regain Huangyuan, Haiyan should be within a few seconds, and our teacher's return to the capital will be just around the corner."
The Di newspaper was circulated like this, and gradually reached Xing Xiuyan's hands. Under the girl's forehead covered by airy bangs, her quiet eyebrows were filled with a graceful aura, and she was lost in thought.
I will tell Master Miaoyu this good news later, she has been worried a lot lately.
Miaoyu usually likes to be quiet, and because she was pregnant recently, she had the baby in a secluded place in the backyard, with Sister Feng sending people to take care of her.
Sister Feng, who knew the inside story, has been secretly scolding Jia Heng for the past few days. A monk can give a child to her, so why can't she give one to her?
Zhen Lan said softly: "Your Highness is right, Qinghai and Shuote Mongolia don't have many troops. After this defeat, Brother Heng has completely established the victory. I wonder if there will be another incident in the Western Regions and Tibet."
Tanchun said: "It's hard to say now."
Princess Xianning said: "When the war in the northwest is settled, sir, you should come to Jiangnan. However, it will probably be autumn in October, which is when the autumn grain and two taxes are collected. It is also more convenient to implement the New Deal in Jiangnan at that time.
"
Everyone was talking and laughing like this, and it was only in the evening that Princess Xianning and Li Chanyue left the Ningguo Mansion and returned to the Princess's Mansion in Jinyang.
Baochai, on the other hand, returned to the backyard, entered the wing, stood in front of the window, looked at the rainy courtyard, lingered on the rugged rockery, and murmured: "It's raining a lot outside."
Ying'er brought a cup of fragrant tea and said with a smile: "Girl, I have made a great contribution this time, so I should be able to grant a marriage to the palace."
Baochai turned her face as plump as a pear blossom and said, "No matter what happens, some things may not be certain."
If this time she could be promoted to the title of Duke, she would have to wait a little longer, or she could be a concubine.
It's not that she cares about her status. As he has more and more women in his backyard, what will he do when he has a child and the child becomes a concubine?
Ying'er said again: "The uncle can't delay it any longer. Let's talk about the girl. She has been with the uncle for several years. To put it bluntly, it will be sooner or later that we fall in love. The princess and the princess are not as early as the girl.
Seeing that the girl is getting older day by day, she has not yet passed the exam. Inside and outside the house, they don’t know how to laugh at the girl. Also, last time the uncle made great achievements in the north, the wife is with the old lady...
…”
At the end, I didn’t go into details.
At the beginning, Aunt Xue could be said to have made a huge mistake. The so-called concurrent marriage was not for Baochai at all, but because of the princess and the princess.
Baochai looked at the maid who was fighting for her, biting her pink lips, and whispered: "He has his own plans in mind. He can give you things like this, but I can't take them."
Since she is already married to him, he will definitely give her a title.
On the other side, the courtyard where Daiyu lives——
Zicuckoo looked at the girl who was sitting alone behind her desk, looking at the rain, and asked with concern: "Girl, what's wrong?"
Daiyu turned her pretty face over and said with a frown: "Nothing, I'm just wondering how he is doing in the northwest? Who is he with at the moment?"
Zicuckoo smiled softly and said, "Didn't the princess say that the uncle is back now?"
Seeing that Daiyu didn't answer, Zicuckoo thought for a while and advised: "We have to get along with each other for a lifetime. In the uncle's heart, the girl is no worse than the princess or the princess."
Daiyu nodded and said, "I know."
She knew that Brother Heng loved her.
In fact, this is an information cocoon room, and Daiyu doesn't know that Jia Heng's trick has been used on other girls.
Zicuckoo said: "When the uncle has made a contribution this time, he will take advantage of the situation and decide on the girl's marriage. He will ask the palace for a marriage, or a title of wife or something."
Daiyu's beautiful cheeks couldn't help but turn red with embarrassment, and she said softly: "Even if it is a marriage, Sister Bao came earlier, so she should be the first."
Zijuan smiled and said: "Maybe we can make a marriage arrangement together, just like the princess and the princess."
If we can't make a decision together, it's hard to compromise on such things. If we can make a decision early, it's better to make it earlier to avoid long nights and dreams.
In the quiet Zen room in the backyard of Ningguo Mansion, orange lights lit up in the west window, a mixture of coolness and warmth.
Sister Feng knew that Miaoyu liked cleanliness and purity, so she specially found such a spacious and quiet courtyard, surrounded by green bamboos.
In the evening, when the evening rain falls, the wind shadows sway, and the bamboo leaves flutter, the bamboo forest becomes increasingly green after the rain.
Miaoyu wore a plain Taoist robe of crane silk, knelt on the futon in front of Guanyin, put her palms together, and kept chanting with her pink lips, praying and reciting sutras.
Since this Yanni became pregnant, she has often recited sutras and prayed, not only to pray for the child in her belly, but also to pray for Jia Heng who was fighting in the northwest.
At this moment, the soft voice of the little maid Su Su came, saying softly: "Miss, Miss Xing is here."
Miaoyu's beautiful jade face without any makeup was surprised, and she murmured: "What is she doing here?"
Ever since Miaoyu announced the marriage between Xing Xiuyan and Jia Heng on the cabin in front of Jia Heng, the relationship between Miao and Xiu has become a little subtle, or a little awkward.
The two people who once had a half-teacher friendship, both teachers and best friends, now have to serve the same person.
Xing Xiuyan walked into the hall and asked softly: "Master Miaoyu, are you in the room?"
Miaoyu opened the bead curtain and looked at the girl with a calm temperament.
Xing Xiuyan's beautiful and quiet face was full of tranquility, and she said: "Sister Miaoyu, let me come over to see you. You have finished your homework for today."
"I just finished it." Miaoyu stood up, a look of curiosity appeared on her beautiful face, and asked: "Where are you coming?"
Xing Xiuyan said: "Brother Heng has news in the northwest. Come over and tell your sister."
"Huh?" Miaoyu was surprised and overjoyed.
Xing Xiuyan said softly: "Princess Xianning came over just now and said that Brother Heng won a great victory in the northwest. They said that he might return to Beijing in a month or two."
Girls were originally not good at military affairs, or in other words, there were only a few of them like Tanchun and Zhen Lan in the world.
When Miaoyu heard this, she was so happy that she couldn't help but said, "That's a happy event."
"In the past few days, the newspaper in Jinling said that Brother Heng has been in the northwest for more than a month, and the advance of the army was not going well. Now the results have been achieved." Xing Xiuyan's bright eyes also showed unnoticeable joy, and she said softly.
Miaoyu said: "In the past few days, I haven't paid much attention to the news outside. I'm afraid there will be a lot of disturbances."
After all, she is a young lady who came from an official background. She is well aware of the ups and downs of the officialdom, and the principle that people who behave above others must not do the same.
Xing Xiuyan said softly: "Master Miaoyu is pregnant now, so it's not good to worry about these things anymore. It's good now. I will pass on the good news. When Uncle Heng comes back, my sister should also be pregnant."
When Miaoyu heard this, her heart skipped a beat, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she said angrily, "What are you talking about?"
What does it mean to show your affection but not to show your affection?
Xing Xiuyan smiled softly and did not continue to joke.
"Sit here, there are some things I haven't told you yet." Miaoyu suppressed a hint of shame in her heart and invited Xing Xiuyan to sit down under the window.
Xing Xiuyan sat down, picked up the teapot and poured Miaoyu a cup of tea.
Miaoyu said softly: "We have known each other for many years. He told me about your marriage to him last time."
Xing Xiuyan paused and pushed the tea cup over.
Miaoyu said: "When I was at Panxiang Temple in Xuan Tomb, I taught you literacy and reading. At that time, I never thought that one day, you and I would be in love with the same person. Maybe this is fate."
Xing Xiuyan sighed quietly and said, "Master Miaoyu, I can't go against my parents' orders to be a matchmaker."
"Although your temperament is peaceful and peaceful, if you don't like it, I don't believe he can force you to go," Miaoyu said.
Xing Xiuyan: "..."
The girl's heart skipped a beat, and her cheeks turned slightly red.
It's not what Master Miaoyu said. She has a submissive nature. What can she do if she doesn't listen to her aunt's arrangements?
Miaoyu looked at the shy girl and said: "He is such a good husband, it is normal for you to fall in love with him."
"Master Miaoyu, I don't have it. It's my aunt who makes the decision, and I can't refuse." Xing Xiuyan's cheeks turned red, and she defended herself.
It’s really not that she wants to rob...
I originally thought that Brother Heng would decline politely. After all, he and his aunt didn't deal with it very much after hearing about the past, but unexpectedly he agreed.
As for asking her later...
Miaoyu stared at Xing Xiuyan, whose expression changed, and said softly: "From now on, just call me sister. The matter has come to this point. It is useless to say more. It can only be said to be a fate."
Xing Xiuyan was red and delicate, her cheeks were bright, her eyebrows were lowered, her pink lips twitched, and she whispered: "Yes, Sister Miaoyu."
Miaoyu didn't say much else. She picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, but her heart couldn't help but fly to the northwest frontier of the Han Dynasty.
