Jia Heng picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He stared at the pretty girl and said softly: "What are you thinking about? You are so lost in thought?"
Song Yan's eyebrows were lowered and her cheeks were red. She glared at Jia Heng and snorted softly.
Jia Heng took a sip of tea and said: "Yan'er is not young anymore. It's time to marry someone after the Chinese New Year. There are many young people in our clan. How about introducing one to you?"
When Song Yan heard this, her heart trembled slightly, and she stared at Jia Heng.
Is the frivolity expressed just now really the frivolity of a deceitful person?
The girl really had some other thoughts just now.
Jia Heng said softly: "It scares you, I'm afraid the queen will have to make the final decision on your marriage."
"You, you are not a good person." Song Yan's cheeks turned red and she said softly.
At this moment, from behind the hanging pearl curtain, Princess Xianning's voice came faintly, saying: "Sir, are you outside?"
Jia Heng stood up, stepped forward, and looked at the slim beauty who had just bathed and changed clothes. He took the girl's delicate hand and said softly: "Xianning is here."
"What are you talking about, sir, and sister Yan'er?" Princess Xianning glanced at Song Yan, who was sitting beside her with her head bowed, and asked with a chuckle.
Jia Heng said: "I didn't say anything. I just had a casual chat with sister Yan'er."
At this moment, Song Yan looked at Princess Xianning, and saw that the girl's cheeks, which looked like Empress Song's, were already flushed with shame, especially the charming charm between her eyebrows and the corners of her eyes, which was silently flowing out.
Song Yan stood up, passed by Jia Heng, and said in a clear voice: "Cousin, Brother Heng, he..."
Jia Heng glanced at Song Yan.
Are you really going to complain? Later, he will think about how to reconcile it.
But the girl pursed her pink lips, changed the subject, and said, "Cousin Xianning, when will Brother Heng return to Beijing?"
Princess Xianning raised her eyebrows and looked at the girl with a faint blush on her cheeks. She felt suspicious in her heart and said with a chuckle: "It's probably after the new year. There are still a lot of aftermaths in Jiangnan. Why,
Sister Yan'er wants to return to the capital?"
Under Li Chanyue's curved eyebrows, Zangxing Yunyue's moist eyes were looking at Song Yan with watery eyes. For some reason, she felt a little suspicious in her heart.
Jia Heng said: "You guys chat first, I'll go take a shower too."
At this moment, there is still the warm fragrance of nephrite powder, so go wash it off first.
However, while several people were talking, Nianyun, the female officer of Empress Song, entered the side room, with a smile on her charming face, and said: "Your Highness, Princess, please come over and have a meal."
Princess Xianning nodded and stared at the female official.
I thought to myself, I have to ask Nianyun later to find out the details of my husband’s rescue, as my husband was a little abnormal just now.
As they talked, everyone came to the hall. At this moment, Queen Song had already laid out the dinner, and the dishes on the round table were all delicious and delicious.
The beauty is dressed in a light yellow cloud dress, with a majestic and gorgeous bun. The golden hairpin is inserted diagonally between the beautiful temples. Under the bright and clean forehead, the jade face is majestic and beautiful, and there is a vague maternal aura in the corners of the eyebrows and eyes.
.
"Xianning, Chanyue is here." Queen Song said with joy in her voice, just like the beautiful flowers and jade trees, indescribably beautiful.
Princess Xianning looked around and asked, "Queen mother, why don't you see your sixth brother?"
Empress Song frowned and said, "He said he was going to meet some friends, and I wonder what friends he has in Hangzhou Mansion."
Princess Xianning said in a charming voice: "Why are you going to see friends at this time? The gangsters secretly assassinated you and caused a lot of chaos to Jinyi Mansion."
Chen Xiao said: "Maybe we can use this to lure the bad guys, so that Jinyi Mansion can arrest them easily."
Queen Song: "..."
After all, she felt sorry for her child. She stared at the boy in the python suit and asked, "Ziyu, should the Jinyi Mansion be protected?"
Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at the plump beauty, who was as gorgeous as a peony disk, and said in a clear voice: "The main target of those gangsters is still the empress, and the assassination plot has just been foiled. They should not attack Prince Liang again in the short term.
Don’t worry about this.”
When Empress Song raised her head, she felt a little uncomfortable when she met the young man's scorching gaze. She secretly spat in her heart and said softly, with a calm expression on her face: "That's good."
However, when everyone had just sat down, the nun outside said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness Prince Liang is here."
Empress Song smiled sweetly and said softly: "I was just talking about him. Come here now. It's really easy to talk about it."
After a while, King Liang dressed in a jade-belted python suit, strode into the hall with his head held high, and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, um, Fifth Sister and Chan Yue are here?"
Then, when he saw Jia Heng on the side, the smile on his face immediately disappeared, and he said in a strange tone: "Is Duke Wei here too?"
Princess Xianning raised her eyebrows and said coquettishly: "You're not big or small, why don't you call me brother-in-law?"
Jia Heng looked at King Liang with a somewhat cold gaze. This King of Liang was targeting him everywhere, and he didn't know where he had offended King Liang.
Empress Song smoothed things over and said with a smile: "Okay, the whole family is here. Let's sit down and eat. Read the clouds and prepare water."
King Liang washed his hands, took the handkerchief, wiped his hands, and sat down.
At this moment, several people gathered around a large round table, which looked more like a family dinner.
Jia Heng and Empress Song sat opposite each other, with Princess Xianning on her left and Li Chanyue on her right.
Song Yan was pulled by Empress Song to sit next to her, while Chen Xiao and Prince Liang sat opposite each other.
Queen Song turned to Prince Liang and asked, "Where have you been these days?"
Liang Wang said: "After returning to my mother's house, I went to visit the Prince Consort of Kuaiji, and also met some Qingliu civil servants living in the south of the Yangtze River."
Empress Song asked: "Kaiji Prince Consort? What is he doing at home now?"
Liang Wang said: "It's quite comfortable to treat your grandson with sweet treats at home."
At first, Jia Heng visited the consort because of salt affairs.
Empress Song said: "It is really enviable for others to travel around without having to do the hard work of writing documents."
The Prince Consort of Kuaiji who was married to the Princess of Kuaiji was originally a poet, talented and well-known in the capital.
King Liang said softly: "My mother doesn't know that after the recent implementation of the New Deal in Jiangnan, many gentry have complained and are resentful of the New Deal."
In fact, the Jiangnan gentry never stopped criticizing and complaining about the New Deal. The reason why it was implemented smoothly was simply that people had to bow their heads under the roof.
Even in Yongzheng's parallel time and space, the New Deal was a great success, but it still could not stop scholars and local gentry from compiling some black materials to slander Yongzheng.
Empress Song looked a little unhappy and said: "You'd better stay less involved in these court matters. If your father knows about it, you will be blamed again."
Princess Xianning's clear eyes flashed and she said in a clear voice: "My father regards the New Deal as the foundation of ZTE. Those people who are obstructing the New Deal have no intention of using you as an envoy."
The King of Liang said: "Let's not talk about this matter. If the queen mother is assassinated this time, are there still people who are ready to impeach the person who failed to protect her?"
As he said that, he couldn't help but glance at Jia Heng.
Princess Xianning put her chopsticks on the bowl, her face as cold as frost, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
She can't speak well now, can she?
"Fifth sister, I'm just telling the truth. These are all said by outsiders, and I didn't send anyone to impeach you." Prince Liang held his head high and said as if he was aggrieved.
Jia Heng picked up the tea cup, lowered his eyes and took a sip. Li Chanyue on the side picked up the vegetables and put them in Jia Heng's bowl.
Jia Heng stared at Li Chanyue and smiled softly.
Empress Song frowned slightly, with anger in her beautiful eyes, and said softly: "The queen mother and you are fine, aren't you? Zi Yu is not to blame for this."
Liang Wangdao: "The Qing gossip officials outside don't think so. I heard that officials throughout Jiangnan are preparing to use this to impeach."
Princess Xianning said: "So what about impeachment?"
"Okay, let's eat, let's eat. Why are you talking about this?" Empress Song scolded, and the beauty raised her head, with her jade-like phoenix eyes, she couldn't help but glance at the young man secretly, feeling a little apologetic in her heart.
Wei'er and Ziyu seem to have been secretly at odds with each other.
Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at the beauty, his eyes moved slightly, indicating that he didn't care.
But I couldn't help but have a strange feeling in my heart, as if my stepfather was making trouble with his naughty child, and my biological mother was feeling very distressed.
Well, this style of painting is somewhat weird.
When I think about this, I can't help but feel a little strange in my heart.
Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows, glanced at the young man, and then looked at the beauty with a clear voice and soft words, and a maternal charm silently flowing out of her features.
Anyway, she always felt that there might be adultery involved, but she didn't know how far the two of them had progressed.
Handkerchief mark? Unlock shepherd? Or hold?
Jia Heng did not. He lowered his head and ate the leek yolk eggs that Chan Yue had put for him. He looked at the girl with willow eyebrows and starry eyes and thought to himself that Chan Yue knew that she felt sorry for him.
While Empress Song was picking up chopsticks to eat, she was suddenly startled. The chopsticks in her hand lightly hit the jade bowl, and a blush appeared on Yong Li's cheeks unconsciously.
What is he doing? This is so ridiculous.
It was clearly under the table. An official boot was placed close to his embroidered shoes, and he tapped his feet three times, but he didn't know what it meant.
The beauty felt as if she had been struck by thunder, her cheeks turned bright red, her pink lips were slightly open, and she almost let out a grunt, her heart was beating hard in her chest, and she was trembling.
It was an unprecedented experience, almost like a huge stone falling into a calm lake. In other words, how has a beauty who has always followed the rules ever experienced this? The kind that can be noticed by the people around you at any time, hanging by a thread.
And the instep of the embroidered shoes was still being lightly tapped, each time it seemed to be tapping on the apex of the heart, as if the soul was about to be tapped out.
The beauty pursed her pink lips, and there was a lingering resentment in her misty beautiful eyes.
He secretly wondered what on earth he was going to do.
Princess Xianning didn't notice anything, but with a smile in her clear eyes, she teased Li Chanyue and said softly: "Chanyue, please bring me some vegetables too."
Li Chanyue's jade-like cheeks were stained with crimson like clouds, and she said softly: "My cousin, stay farther away. I want to pick up vegetables, but my hands are not that long."
Queen Song: "..."
For some reason, I vaguely felt that I was talking about myself, so I quickly took my embroidered shoes back a little, but I felt my heart was jumping into my throat, and I couldn't help but press my heels together.
If anyone found out, she would be really shameless.
"Aunt, eat the food." Song Yan picked up the food and put it in the beauty's jade bowl. She looked at the rosy earlobes wearing jade earrings. The girl's eyes flashed, and the doubts in her heart disappeared.
Jia Heng's expression remained normal, he turned to look at Xian Ning, who had beautiful features, and said warmly: "Don't make things difficult for Chan Yue, I'll take care of it for you."
Just now, I also got the inspiration from Xianning's performance in front of Jinyang in the past. However, Xianning has long legs after all and can complete many difficult movements. He is not as good as him.
That is because the King of Liang targeted him. To a certain extent, it was regarded as debt repayment?
As for everything else, there’s no need to try it.
At this moment, Empress Song picked up the spoon and gently stirred the gruel, gently dissipating the heat, which seemed to dissipate other heat, and two blushes appeared on Qiyan's plump cheeks unconsciously. At this moment,
Bright and charming, as charming as a flower.
Chen Xiao put down the chopsticks in his hands, glanced at Jia Heng secretly, squinted his eyes, picked up the spoon and scooped out a bowl of porridge.
It would be too ignorant to educate him later when we go back.
Princess Xianning was a little slow to react at the moment, so she did not doubt that he was there.
As for Liang Wang, who was deeply prejudiced, he glanced at Jia Heng coldly and looked at Jia Heng, who was surrounded by Princess Xianning and Li Chanyue.
Ever since Jia Heng married into the Tian family, he has been unpopular with his mother, and now even the fifth sister has just begun to reprimand him.
After everyone has finished their dinner, they sit down to drink tea.
Queen Song's fair and jade-skinned cheeks slightly returned to normal, she calmed down, looked at the young man, and asked: "Ziyu, there should be no war next year."
Jia Heng said seriously: "Now that foreign troubles in the border areas have subsided, it can be said that everything is safe. The main thing next year is to implement the New Deal nationwide."
Empress Song nodded and said: "We have fought a lot of battles this year. It will be good to rest with the people next year."
Jia Heng said: "What the Queen said is true. The country's strength cannot withstand the continuous consumption of such wars. Next year will be the time to recuperate and recuperate."
Princess Xianning asked: "Sir, after the Dajuan Island is recovered, will the imperial court send generals to guard it?"
Jia Heng said: "King Shuirong of Beijing knows the military affairs temporarily, and the court will select some civil servants to assist in political affairs."
King Liang listened to the conversation of several people and felt bored, so he said: "Mother, I will go back and rest first."
Although Empress Song was a little helpless, she did not spare Prince Liang.
A few people were chatting, and when they saw that the sky was getting close to midnight, Jia Heng stood up to leave. However, Princess Xianning and Li Chanyue were newly arrived, so they stayed behind to talk to Empress Song.
After returning to the courtyard, he sat in the study and was about to tell the maid to prepare hot water and take a bath.
At this moment, when he heard familiar footsteps gradually coming, Chen Xiao entered the house and said with a cold face, "What did you just do?"
Jia Heng put down the book in his hand and said, "What do you do?"
Chen Xiao snorted, lowered his voice, and scolded: "Are you really not afraid of being discovered by Xian Ning?"
Jia Heng took Chen Xiao's bare hand and said, "I didn't do anything else. Besides, don't you know everything now?"
Xiaoxiao is the great master of martial arts.
Chen Xiao said in embarrassment and annoyance: "You are so lustful, you provoke everyone."
It's also a little strange, what happened between the two of them, Queen Marie was not angry, which is simply incredible.
Jia Heng said: "There is another hidden story behind this matter, it's not what you think."
Chen Xiao looked at the young man seriously and said in a low voice: "You'd better pay attention to yourself. As long as that person is still there, don't go beyond the thunder pool."
At that time, it was really a disaster.
"How could that happen?" Jia Heng felt a little uncomfortable and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Is there any news from Chen Yuan?"
Chen Xiao's eyebrows were curved, his clear eyes flashed, and he said, "Senior sister may know where he is."
"Gu Ruoqing?" Jia Heng said in surprise.
The figure of that little fairy...well, no, Gu Ruoqing could not help but appear in my heart.
"Senior sister will be coming to Suzhou Mansion in the next two days. I will make an appointment for you. You can ask him." Chen Xiao said.
Jia Heng thought for a while and said, "That's fine."
Maybe we can gradually get to know some of the secrets behind Xiaoxiao.
Chen Xiao leaned her head on the boy's arms and said softly: "Shall we go shopping in Suzhou these days?"
Although he accompanied Jia Heng on his expeditions to the north and south, the two of them had never visited any beautiful scenery together.
Jia Heng nodded and said, "In two or three days, let's go to Hangzhou again."
He actually missed Chaidai and Miaoyu. Miaoyu was pregnant with Liujia and had a withdrawn personality. He was really worried if she didn't watch them.
While the two were having a warm conversation, Princess Xianning said from outside: "Sir, my mother has called you over for something."
Jia Heng gently let go of the beauty's waist and said, "Then I'll go over."
Chen Xiao whispered in the young man's ear: "Stop messing around for a while."
Jia Heng said thoughtfully: "Don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion. How about you come with me?"
He was also a little worried that Sweet Girl would eat him.
It was true that I went too far just now, I'm afraid Tianniu'er is getting angry right now.
"Let me be your lookout, right?" Chen Xiao said sarcastically, her face as smooth as frost.
Jia Heng did not respond, because Princess Xianning and Chan Yue had already moved into the inner compartment through the curtain. Seeing the two people hugging each other intimately, she whispered: "What are you doing, Sister Xiaoxiao, holding your husband's hand?"
"
Chen Xiao folded his hands, looked at Xianning, and said, "Let's have a little chat."
Xianning was usually quite smart, but he was so smart that he was confused for a moment and didn't notice anything that happened under his nose.
Jia Heng said: "You two talk, I'll go first."
Maybe it was because Tian Niuer really had something to do with calling him, and it wasn't just to put out the fire with salary. If the salary is not exhausted, the fire will never be extinguished.
Jia Hengxing walked up to Li Chanyue, reached out and pinched Chanyue's pink cheeks, and said softly: "Chanyue is still gentle and lovely."
Xianning, Chen Xiao: “???”
Li Chanyue's pretty face suddenly turned red, she scolded and said, "Mr. Xiao Jia, go quickly."
As he spoke, Jia Heng left the wing and walked along the corridor to the outside of the courtyard. He saw that the lights in Queen Song's room were still on.
In fact, it was getting late now, so it was not suitable to go see Empress Song.
At this time, the female officer Nianyun stood at the door. When she saw the young man, she said softly: "Mr. Wei Guo, the empress calls you over."
While speaking, Jia Heng entered the hall and looked at the beauty sitting behind the desk in the inner room. She was dressed in light yellow palace clothes, woven with brilliant embroidery. Especially under the candlelight beside her, her whole body was glittering with jewels and greenery.
Jia Heng didn't want to look at her too much, so he raised his hands and said, "Wei Chen has met the Queen."
Empress Song Lianjuan's eyebrows were trimmed, and her phoenix eyes were still like dew. Thinking of what happened just now, she felt a little embarrassed and inexplicable in her heart, but the expression on her face remained unchanged and she said: "Ziyu, Wei'er made a false statement today, don't take it to heart.
.”
Jia Heng raised his eyes and looked at the beauty. At this moment, the snowy beauty looked like a begonia flower. The flower disk was plump and bright. He calmed down and said softly: "Your Majesty, please be polite. Your Majesty was assassinated, and the ministers who belonged to you were not well protected.
, I have a responsibility."
Well, I've said this before.
The Queen of the Song Dynasty has beautiful eyes under the willow-leaf slender eyebrows, her eyes are as gentle as water, her red lips are slightly parted, the candlelight shines brightly on the cherry blossoms, and her voice is soft and delicate, with a hint of coquettishness: "Zi Yu, Wei'er said
Will talking about impeachment hinder you?"
I originally wanted to warn the young man for being too presumptuous, but when I looked at the respectful young man, I couldn't bear it.
Maybe he didn't mean it? But it was clearly...
A feeling of embarrassment arose in the beauty's heart, and she pursed her slightly pink lips, her face in a daze.
Jia Heng said: "Don't worry, Madam, Your Majesty is aware of everything and will not listen to such treacherous words."
He had just achieved great success, and the most he could do was reprimand him in order to shake his foundation, but this alone was not enough.
When Empress Song heard Jia Heng's words, her heart skipped a beat.
What makes her feel relieved? And there is a vague opposition between her and that person...
I don't know why, I didn't like these words, or in this environment, I subconsciously didn't want to mention that person, so I gave a soft "hmm" and didn't go any further.
Queen Song calmed down and said, "Then you should be more careful. Wei'er just said that you have offended many people."
Jia Heng said: "Wei Chen, thank you for your concern."
After Queen Song said this, her pink lips twitched, she looked at the young man and fell into silence for a moment.
Just when the atmosphere was a little weird, Jia Heng raised his hands and said, "My dear, if there is nothing else to do, I will take my leave."
At night like this, when a man and a woman are alone in the same room, staying for a long time will easily lead to gossip, so he still needs to avoid it.
I can only say that the beauty in front of me is no better than ordinary people, and what Xiaoxiao just said was right.
"Well, you go ahead." Queen Song said softly, and suddenly asked: "Tomorrow, will you, Xianning, and Chanyue go for a walk?"
Jia Heng cupped his hands and was about to retreat slowly. Hearing the inquiry, he paused and said, "It is also possible to go to Hanshan Temple or the island in the middle of the lake for a walk."
Empress Song looked steadily at the young man in the python suit, with a slight blush on his snowy face and jade skin, and said softly: "I am very quiet and thoughtful, so I will walk with you to see the lakes and mountains in winter."
She said she wouldn't go before, but now she...
Jia Heng cupped his hands and said, "Wei Chen will make arrangements early tomorrow. Your Majesty, I will take a rest early. Wei Chen will retire."
With that said, without further words, he left the side room.
Seeing the young man leaving, the beauty sighed quietly. Under the light of the lamp, a hint of sadness gradually appeared on her beautiful face.
