Chapter 1184 Jinyang: Do you think I am too old?

Jinling, Jinyang Princess Mansion

"What about the girls from the Xue family and the girls from the Lin family that you had earlier?" The eldest princess of Jinyang had curved eyebrows, a bright smile on her beautiful face, and looked at the young man with her phoenix eyes.

She knew that Xue and Lin were his favorites. They had been together for so long in the south before, so she thought they were beautiful girls.

In fact, whether you are a princess or a princess, you cannot be a concubine. It is more about the senses of outsiders and you cannot insult the face of the Tian family. The desire for the so-called marriage status is not strong. It is more about seeking recognition from the world in order to

Block the mouth of the world.

Because, to put it bluntly, a prince-in-law is more like a son-in-law.

Once Xue and Lin become concubines, it will affect the status of their descendants.

Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at the beautiful woman with bright eyebrows and said, "Just watch the joke."

The eldest princess of Jinyang said softly: "Is this a joke? Isn't this because I care about you? How do you plan to solve this matter?"

Since having children, the couple has become more integrated as a couple than when they were passionately in love.

Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "When the New Deal is popularized in the world and the palace celebrates its merits, I will go to Shu to ask for the seal. I have been planning to explain this matter to the palace in the past few days. Originally, this time it was for Sister Xue

Please seal it, she has been waiting for two or three years."

The eldest princess of Jinyang's eyes were as bright as water, and she nodded and said: "That's fine. Next year, when the New Deal is implemented across the country, there may be many problems in the local areas. The emperor brother will have to use you to clear away the thorns. Even if there is no military merit, there is no chance of meritorious service.

There’s more.”

At this age, Ziyu is already a first-class Duke. No matter how great his achievements are, it is difficult to reward him with the title of county prince. After all, since the founding of the country, there have only been four county princes. Apart from conferring marriage decrees, there seems to be no other way to digest the effort.

This is also something that the emperor brother and Zi Yu tacitly agree on.

Jia Heng said: "Yes, Jiangnan is just a province in Jiangsu. It took a lot of effort. All the means of coercion and inducement have been exhausted. Now there is something wrong in Anhui."

The gentry class in the south of the Yangtze River could also use overseas trade as inducements, and they could also exert pressure on the imperial relatives from a higher central level.

Shandong, Shanxi, Huguang, Sichuan and Shaanxi, where local powerful forces are deeply entangled, are not so easy to implement.

Even if it is a whip technique in parallel time and space, it will encounter resistance no matter how small it is.

The eldest princess of Jinyang frowned, her beautiful eyes suddenly became solemn, and she said: "However, after the New Year, I'm afraid it's time for the emperor to have a direct heir."

Jia Heng said: "Yes."

The king of Nan'an County was defeated, and Emperor Chongping vomited blood for the second time. In fact, he was seriously injured. He would successively train the king of Chu and the king of Wei to join the army.

Moreover, I was worried that the King of Wei would suddenly gain an advantage because of being a relative, and he might even be trying to distract the King of Chu.

Jia Heng had a thoughtful look on his face and said in a low voice: "There is another turmoil about the establishment of the direct line. Chen Yuan might secretly stir up trouble."

And Tian Niu'er, I'm afraid he will be forced to take sides or make suggestions.

The eldest princess of Jinyang said softly: "We have been fighting for a year this year, and the national treasury is almost at its bottom. The top priority at the beginning of next year is to implement the New Deal. If you want to hide for a while, you might as well find an opportunity to run outside more. Where will the New Deal come from?

After finding out the problem, we went over to temporarily put out the fire."

Jia Heng said: "Tianjin Wei will prepare to build a naval force in the next year to conquer North Korea and Liaodong. I will go there in the next year, but I can't leave Shenjing City for too long."

In other words, he wanted to ensure that he had something to do, and training as a navy commander in Tianjin and waiting for an opportunity to attack North Korea was this excuse.

"That's fine." Princess Jinyang said softly.

Jia Heng suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his heart and asked: "After these few wars, the Weaving Bureau has not suffered a loss, right?"

"That's not true. The House of Internal Affairs has some financial resources, so it can still support itself. Now that the pirates have been wiped out, sea trade will be unimpeded next year, and the House of Internal Affairs' financial resources will gradually become more abundant." Yurong Yongli, the eldest princess of Jinyang

, chuckled lightly, looked at the young man, and whispered.

Jia Heng took the slender hand of Princess Jinyang, held the beauty in his arms, and said, "That's true."

He is indeed lucky to find such a woman who is good at managing money, virtuous and intellectual.

Li Chanyue was teasing the baby, then turned to look at Jia Heng and said, "Mr. Jia,"





The couple talked about their sadness about separation, but before they knew it, dusk was closing in and the lanterns were starting to go up. Suddenly, it was New Year's Eve in the 16th year of Chongping.

In the courtyards of every house, the sound of firecrackers was "cracking", and the lanterns hanging behind the eaves of the house swayed in the wind, reflecting the two couplets that had just been written, with black characters on a red background and the odd couple.

In the side room, a candle was lit on the high table, and the orange candle flame kept beating, illuminating the room brightly.

Jia Heng left the beauty's pink and slightly shiny lips and said softly: "Li'er, I actually have something to ask you."

The eldest princess of Jinyang was a little surprised by the young man's preparedness and said, "What's the matter?"

"It's about Chanyue's father." Jia Heng pondered for a moment, considered his words, and asked.

In fact, he didn't dare to ask before, just in case it was his ex, but it probably wasn't because Jinyang's emotional awakening was relatively late.

Princess Xiuli of Jinyang had a look of memory on her jade face and said: "Chanyue's father was the prince's counselor and a famous talent in the capital. Back then..."

"I'm telling you, don't be jealous first." The beauty said, suddenly looking at the young man with her phoenix eyes.

Jia Heng reached into the beauty's clothes, warmed his hands on her heart, and said, "You have become my child's mother, why should I be jealous?"

The beauty rolled her eyes at the young man, sighed quietly, and said in a low voice: "Brother Huang wanted me to marry him at the beginning. Brother Huang may have had some other thoughts, but after the marriage was granted, the matter of consummating the marriage was because of

My father is seriously ill and has been delayed."

Jia Heng stared at the beauty, his face thoughtful.

The eldest princess of Jinyang said: "Chanyue is the daughter of Chanyue's father and his childhood sweetheart. At that time, the prince and King Zhao were defeated, so he asked me to take care of him. Later, after the prince committed suicide, Chanyue's father also died in the swordsmanship.

The emperor's brother was hunting down the surviving party, so I hid Chan Yue, and later claimed that there was a posthumous daughter. In fact, the Queen Mother vaguely guessed some of the reasons for this matter, and the emperor's brother had just ascended the throne and was busy consolidating the throne and had no time to take care of other things.

After three to five years, Chanyue will be considered my daughter."

Jia Heng said: "In that case, Chan Yue is indeed surnamed Li."

That's it, why Emperor Chongping didn't doubt Jin Yang and Li Chanyue.

As for Queen Mother Feng, she was her own daughter after all. Whether she really had a child or not could only be guessed to some extent. Perhaps she thought Jin Yang had feelings for Chan Yue's father, so she turned a blind eye.

Then Emperor Chongping never said anything about Jinyang's remarriage, probably because he felt he was in debt.

Moreover, Jinyang has not disclosed one thing, that is, the relationship between Jinyang and the prince's brother and sister should be relatively good.

Because the prince treated others kindly, King Yong used methods.

Princess Jinyang asked in surprise: "Did she ask you to ask?"

Jia Heng looked slightly startled, looked at the beauty with some surprise, and asked, "How do you know?"

"I brought her up single-handedly. Do I know what she has in mind?" Princess Jinyang snorted softly, and as she spoke, a trace of helplessness appeared on her face, saying: "Chanyue, she sometimes feels like Ming Jing.

Normally, I’m afraid I’ve already suspected it.”

Jia Heng asked: "Chan Yue can't figure out the truth, so she must be worried."

The eldest princess of Jinyang looked at the young man's side face illuminated by the lights, and thought to herself, I am afraid that one day, you will come to me and ask about your life experience.

Jia Heng took the beauty's delicate hand and said, "Okay, it's getting late, let's take a rest early."

Jinyang Princess Yanli's cheeks were as red as drunkenness, and she said loudly: "Lianxue, go and call Yuanchun over. I'm not used to her not being here. I won't be able to serve you for a while."

Jia Heng: "..."

Jinyang gave birth to a child who was almost two months old, actually almost the same.

After a while, Yuan Chun was seen wearing a beautifully embroidered female official's dress. She had a plump figure. Her bright cheeks on both sides were red, and she said softly: "Your Highness, Brother Heng."

Jia Heng looked at the beauty with warm eyes and called, "Sister."

I didn't have the chance to talk to Yuanchun alone just now. It's not that I meant to be cold, and after not seeing each other for a while, Yuanchun became more and more beautiful as she got older, and she even looked more gorgeous in the original work.

In fact, Yuanchun was with him before Chai Dai.

Yuan Chunxing came closer, looked at the two of them with watery eyes, and said softly: "It's cold, I'll wash your Highness's feet."

The eldest princess of Jinyang smiled and said: "You serve him, Lianxue just serves me."

After a while, Lianxue and a female official picked up a basin of hot water and placed it in the side room, waiting for Jia Heng to sit down.

Yuanchun took the copper basin, raised his eyes and said, "Brother Heng."

Jia Heng said softly: "Sister, I will do it myself."

Yuanchun bit her pink lips with her teeth. Under her light and thin eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were as full as water. She chuckled and said, "It's okay. It's my duty to help Brother Heng."

The husband is the guide for his wife, as it should be.

The beauty squatted down and washed Jia Heng's feet.

Jia Heng did not tell the eldest princess of Jinyang the secret of that year. Instead, he looked at the beauty and said, "After the Lantern Festival, let's go back to Beijing."

The eldest princess of Jinyang said softly: "My mother has urged me two or three times that it's time to go back. I'm worried about Bao'er. I want to wait until spring next year and the weather gets warmer before going there."

Jia Heng nodded and said, "It's a little cold on the boat."

It is a bit difficult to deal with children. The mortality rate of children at this time is actually very high.

The eldest princess of Jinyang thought for a while and said: "If it doesn't work out, I will stay in Jinling for a while. You can lead Chanyue and Ningguo Mansion to Shenjing first."

She still didn't want to risk her child.

Jia Heng said: "That's okay."

At this moment, Yuan Chun also helped Jia Heng wash his feet, took a dry towel to wipe off the water drops, and passed the towel aside.

Jia Heng helped the eldest princess of Jinyang onto the bed, covering her with an autumn-colored hibiscus embroidered quilt.

Lianxue lowered the double curtains outside and slowly exited the room.

The eldest princess of Jinyang said softly: "You should also tell me about going south. I heard that Damuan Island was recovered? I heard that the Weaving Bureau's fleet mentioned this place many times. It used to be that barbarians were entrenched.

The fleet of plundering ships is too much to be disturbed."

Whenever Jiaheng came back from an expedition, he would tell Jinyang what happened during the expedition.

Jia Heng said: "This time it was mainly a naval battle. The Dutch Red Barbarians also had cannons. After a big battle, Da Yuan Island returned."

He briefly described what happened and said warmly: "In the future, it will be much easier to go to Southeast Asia for maritime trade. From now on, the world of maritime trade will be dominated."

The eldest princess of Jinyang said with emotion: "The profits from this sea trade are huge, especially above that of salt and tea. In less than a year since the sea was opened, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has made a lot of profits. Otherwise, the previous war would not have been fought. Otherwise, we would have to

If the burden is levied on ordinary people, it will easily trigger civil unrest over time. Sea trade has indeed helped a lot."

Jia Heng looked at the beauty with bright eyebrows. In fact, Jinyang's political wisdom is not low, and perhaps Jinyang can assist in politics in the future.

Jia Heng's thoughts just flashed away, and he said softly: "Yeah, okay, don't talk about this, I miss you a little."

The eldest princess of Jinyang's beautiful eyes were as full as water. She looked at the young man and said with a chuckle: "Let Yuanchun take care of you first."

She also missed him a little. She was pregnant for ten months, did he know how she lived? Her heart was burning, and she could not sleep.

Yuan Chun was lying on the side, rustling his skirt just now. After hearing this, he came to the young man, his cheeks were slightly red, and he whispered: "Brother Heng, I will serve you."

The two of them are already an old couple, so there is no need for Jia Heng to be persuasive.

Jia Heng didn't say much, watching Yuan Chun get into bed and lift up a ball of quilt.

Jia Heng's eyes narrowed and he gently put his arm around Princess Jinyang's shoulders.

Under the beauty's beautiful eyebrows, her charming and flowing eyes looked at the young man as bright as water, and said: "Can you tell me how you rescued the emperor's sister-in-law?"

Jia Heng raised his eyebrows and said: "When the situation was urgent, when I led people to Shigong Mountain in Taihu Lake, the gangsters were chasing after the Queen and Prince Liang. After the two separated, I went to the mountain and killed them.

Someone rescued me.”

This kind of narrative is obviously cloudy and hazy, making it difficult for people to grasp the key points.

The eldest princess of Jinyang listened, her crystal clear eyes thoughtful, although she felt vaguely that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure it out after careful study, and it was hard to ask any more questions.

Jia Heng said: "Li'er, let's take a rest."

If Jin Yang continues to ask questions, he is afraid that the secret will be exposed. Every woman in the old Chen family is smarter than the last.

Maybe Xianning is a little more naive.

Princess Jinyang said: "That's really weird and dangerous."

At this moment, Yuanchun also fell to the side softly, with a rose-red halo appearing on her face as pink as snow.

Jia Heng took Yuan Chun's bare hand and held the beauty who looked like a big white goose in his arms, as soft as if she wanted to wrap her up, and said: "Sister."

Yuan Chun's cheeks were as hot as fire and he said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng, please rest with His Highness first."

She still wants to have a child later.

Princess Jinyang chuckled and said softly: "It's okay to wait a while."

When Jia Heng heard this, he didn't insist. He turned around, intertwined his fingers with Jin Yang's slender hands, and expressed his farewell feelings.

Not seen for a long time, Jinyang has become more and more plump, with a little belly growing, but it does not detract from her beauty.

I don’t know if Tian Niu’er has a belly, but she probably doesn’t have one... Well, he really loves his sister-in-law, and his desires are hard to satisfy.

But the beauty felt uncomfortable being looked at by Jia Heng. She opened her phoenix eyes and said with some embarrassment, "Don't look at her, she's so ugly."

She gained weight in order to give birth to a baby.

Jia Heng chuckled and said, "It looks good."

Jin Yang closed his beautiful eyes slightly, hummed softly, and ignored the young man, just thinking about something on his mind.

On the high table, the candle flames flickered in confusion, and the green smoke from the beast's head smoked cage curled up, drifting unknowingly to the bright moon in the sky, and the snow was round in the sky, shining in all directions.

In the courtyard, the cold wind whistled by, whistling sounds were heard, and the branches of the dead trees rustled, and there seemed to be a crackling sound, which was the sound of snow falling silently.

Under the eaves of the corridor, a lantern with the words "Jinyang Princess's Mansion" written in Song script swayed in the wind, intertwining light and shadow.

The 16th year of Chongping with continuous military wars and heavy artillery fire. The 16th year of Chongping with fragrant makeup and long-lasting love between children. The 16th year of Chongping is magnificent. The 16th year of Chongping is like a magnificent picture scroll slowly closing.

Sixteen years have passed since Chongping, and we still miss her very much.





The next day, the seventeenth year of Chongping, was the first day of the Lunar New Year.

There is a hint of fish belly white in the eastern sky, the sun is still rising on the snow-covered Zhongshan Mountain in Cangshan, and the clouds in Qixiu seem to be overflowing with the golden color of the new year.

The sound of crackling firecrackers has already been heard in all directions, and while confetti and gunpowder smoke are flying, the new year has arrived.

Jia Hengxing turned around and looked at the beauty beside him, looking at the plump and rosy face, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of peace in his heart.

This is his fourth year in this world. He has gone from being a commoner in the Wuxun branch to becoming a first-class Duke of the Han Dynasty, during which he has crossed countless rapids.

The eldest princess of Jinyang seemed to be aware of something, her eyelashes trembled, she slowly opened her eyes, and asked with a "squeak": "When is it?"

Jia Heng smiled and said: "It's time, we can't afford the fifth watch."

Making dumplings at the fifth watch of the night is a home for ordinary people, but the high-ranking princes and noble families are served by boy servants, so naturally they don't talk about that.

The beauty put on her clothes under Yuanchun's service, looked at the young man with full eyes, and said, "After breakfast, we will go to the garden of the back house to listen to a play later."

Jia Heng said: "I have to go back in the afternoon."

Princess Jinyang's beautiful eyes under Liu Ye's slender eyebrows were charming. She smiled and said, "Just take the ones from your family over for the New Year, so they don't have to run around."

Jia Heng said: "Those sisters are making a lot of noise, so it won't be easy for them to get over."

Mainly because I'm worried about not knowing how to explain the origin of Jie'er.

The eldest princess of Jinyang did not force it. She smiled and said softly: "Then it will be fine these days. If you are not afraid of trouble, just run in both directions."

Jia Heng put on his clothes, came to the high table, picked up the fire folding book, lit the candle, turned to look at the graceful beauty, and said softly: "There are still some things to do on the fourth or fifth day of the Lunar New Year."

The eldest princess of Jinyang was also served by Yuanchun. She combed her bun in front of the rhombus bronze mirror, took out an emerald earring from the rosewood box, compared it with the mirror, and said in a mellow voice: "You can't take more than two days of rest during the New Year. sky?"

Jia Heng said: "For the generals of the Jiangnan and Jiangbei camps, especially the generals of the Jiangnan Navy who invaded the Qianhai Sea this time, I have to go and take a look at the military equipment."

Of course, I also went to express condolences to the officers and soldiers who are still on the front line.

The eldest princess of Jinyang thought for a while and said softly: "That's fine, the pensions and rewards from the Nanjing Ministry of Household Affairs have been distributed before."

Jia Heng said: "I know this."

While the couple talked, Lianxue led a female official to bring a basin filled with warm water, hand towels, soap and other items.

After the two of them washed up, they gathered around a table to have breakfast.

The eldest princess of Jinyang had a look of concern on her beautiful face. She looked at Lianxue and asked, "Has the young master been breastfeeding?"

Lianxue said softly: "Your Highness, the nurse has already fed you."

The eldest princess of Jinyang glanced at the young man aside and said with a chuckle: "I used to feed the baby myself. When the child grows up, I will give him some kisses, but they all say that nanny's milk is better."

According to the posture last night, he was changing rapidly... and it was really not enough.

Jia Heng paused and advised, "Don't feed him. Grandma's milk is more nutritious and he will grow old quickly."

At this time, all the princes and noble ladies looked for nannies. For example, Baoyu never ate Mrs. Wang's food since he was a child, but was fed by Nanny Li.

The eldest princess of Jinyang raised her eyebrows, and there was a dangerous light in her eyes. She chuckled and said, "Do you think I am too old?"

Ever since she gave birth to her child, she felt like there were crow's feet in the corners of her eyes, whether it was an illusion or not. She had recently developed some fat on her belly, and she needed to lose weight quickly.

"You are so worried." Jia Heng felt a little helpless. He took Princess Jinyang's hand and stroked it gently, saying: "You are at the right age now. Just like the peonies in full bloom, the country is beautiful and fragrant."

He doesn't dislike sweet girls who are one or two years older.

Well, this is the time when flowers are blooming and wealth is blooming... Request to add friends. In short, it is the best age for women, the jade plate is plump, plump and exquisite.

The eldest princess of Jinyang said with a half-smile, "Really?"

Jia Heng felt guilty for a moment. He picked up the spoon and sipped the porridge in small sips, hiding all the longings in his heart and the unparalleled abundance that he would never forget until his death.

Why does it feel like Jinyang is also a little suspicious?

The eldest princess of Jinyang turned to look at Lianxue and said: "Go and call Chanyue, don't let her sleep in, it's the Chinese New Year."

After a while, I saw Li Chanyue wearing a blue dress. The little princess was slim and graceful, like the sister next door of Xiaojia Jade. Her pretty face was flushed, and she whispered softly: "Mr. Jia, mother."

"Come here, let's have breakfast." Princess Jinyang called out and said.

Li Chanyue sat down and said, "Mother, where are you going today?"

"I'm not going anywhere. I'm just staying at home. I've invited a theater troupe in the backyard to listen to the opera. It's very lively." The eldest princess of Jinyang chuckled and said softly: "It's a pity that your cousin is not here. Let her dance a song."

Dance relieves boredom."

Li Chanyue: "..."

My mother knows how to bully my cousin.

Jia Heng smiled and said, "Chanyue can also dance."

Perhaps Jinyang also has a song and dance troupe arranged like lotus flowers?

"Chanyue can dance in only a few dances, but it will please you." Princess Jinyang glanced at Jia Heng and said quietly.

When Li Chanyue heard this, her heart trembled slightly, and she didn't know what she thought of. Her pretty face turned red with embarrassment, and she said angrily: "How can that be true?"

The eldest princess of Jinyang picked up the chopsticks, looked at the girl with adoring eyes, and said angrily: "Okay, let's eat, let your cousin have fun every day."

No matter what, she brought this up all by herself.

"Yeah." Li Chanyue picked up a pair of bamboo chopsticks, glanced at Jia Heng shyly, and started to have breakfast.

I don’t know if Mr. Xiao Jia has asked her about her life experience.

After everyone had breakfast, they followed Princess Jinyang to the backyard to prepare to listen to opera.

At this moment, Fu Qiufang came over quickly. This older leftover girl, tall and tall, dressed in female official attire, approached with a steady gaze and said, "Your Highness, the people from the theater troupe have already arrived."

The eldest princess of Jinyang, Yong Li, smiled with her plump and beautiful face. She looked at Jia Heng and Li Chanyue and whispered: "Let's go to the attic to listen to the play."

While everyone was talking, they headed to the attic.
