Jia Heng stood up, called out, and said warmly: "Zicuckoo, go get the clothes."
Turning to look at the girl with a loose bellyband under the snowy shoulders, she tucked Daiyu into a quilt and whispered: "Sister Lin, don't catch a cold."
Daiyu's cheeks were rosy, and she couldn't help but hum. Her starry eyes seemed to be condensed with dew.
At this moment, Zicuckoo responded with a "Oh", then came over with a pile of slightly thicker coats and skirts, and handed them to Daiyu. She didn't dare to look at them, but silently helped Daiyu put on her clothes.
Jia Heng also put on his clothes, picked up the teapot with the blue and white porcelain bottle on the table, poured a cup of tea into the cup, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, feeling the sweet and salty intertwining in his mouth, but he couldn't say anything.
What does it feel like.
At this moment, Zicuckoo had already helped Daiyu put on her clothes and sat on a bed covered with soft mattresses, as if she was regaining her strength.
Then, Zicuckoo came forward with a plump face, a pair of scissors in her hand, and was about to twist the sheets on the bed.
Daiyu suddenly turned her face, her beautiful face was as bright as clouds, her brows and eyes were filled with charming light, her cherry teeth bit her pink lips, and she said in a trembling voice: "I'll do it."
In fact, this means a lot to her.
Zijuan said softly, "Hmm", and then handed over a pair of scissors.
Daiyu took the scissors, handed them to Zijuan carefully and with great care, and said in a trembling voice: "Put it away."
At this moment, Jia Heng sat down, his eyebrows were lowered, and his plump face was as red as a blush. He took a steaming copper basin and whispered: "Uncle, wash your hands."
Jia Heng nodded and said warmly: "Get more hot water and help Sister Lin wash up."
With a bright pink face, Xiren responded with a "hmm" and then turned around.
After a while, Daiyu stood up with the help of Zicuckoo, and sat down next to Jiaheng. Her beautiful brows clearly had a bit of the brightness and delicacy of a mature woman, her starry eyes sparkled, and she whispered in a low voice.
: "Brother Heng, it will be later, will you still be busy with official duties?"
Jia Heng chuckled lightly and said, "I'm not going anywhere today. I'm just staying at home with Sister Lin."
Where else could I go today? It must be with Daiyu, otherwise Daiyu would be thinking wildly again.
Daiyu said "hmm", her eyebrows and starry eyes lowered, her heart filled with sweetness, she picked up a pair of bamboo chopsticks and said, "Brother Heng, let's eat together."
Tonight...Brother Heng probably won't bully her anymore.
Jia Heng said warmly: "It is expected that I will propose to the palace next year, and my sister will be able to get married by then. Normally, my sister should not reveal too much, otherwise people will gossip again."
Under Daiyu's dark eyebrows, her bright starry eyes were fixed with emotion, looking at the young man with a hint of shyness and timidity, and said softly: "I will do it."
When Jia Heng saw this, he didn't say much. He obviously felt that Daiyu's Lin Dangdang aura was much weaker.
He secretly thought that now he could suppress Daiyu for a while, otherwise he would not be able to stand it if he continued to be so sinister and evil.
The two of them ate the food, unaware that time passed quickly. Jia Heng also took Daiyu's delicate hand, got on the bed, covered himself with the quilt, and talked briefly.
At this moment, the sheets and bedding have been replaced, and the charming aura lingering in the wing has completely dissipated.
Jia Heng gently tended the lamb and said, "When the world becomes peaceful, I will go for a walk with my sister."
Daiyu seemed helpless and mockingly said: "Let's talk about it, maybe something will happen at that time."
Jia Heng stretched out his hand and stroked the girl's round and smooth shoulders, and whispered: "Sister Lin, we have known each other for several years. I remember that my sister was not very young at the time, and her eyebrows were gloomy, which made people feel pity for her when she looked at her."
Jade belts hang in the forest, gold hairpins are buried in the snow.
Daiyu leaned her head against Jia Heng's arms, her eyes suddenly seemed like a dream, and she whispered: "Yes, Brother Heng."
At the beginning, Brother Heng even invited the royal doctor from the palace for consultation because of her frail body, which really put a lot of effort into her.
Humph, I'm afraid that at that time, she will be thinking about her body and thinking about what happened just now.
The girl's cheeks were blushing as red as clouds, and her eyes were as blank as the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River. The fusion of spirituality and desire just now, as well as the endless pity, for some reason, always felt like it carried a kind of burning heat and love that seemed to melt her.
.
But Daiyu didn't know that it was because countless people in later generations had hard feelings for Concubine Xiaoxiang.
Burning the manuscript to end his infatuation, he coughed up blood and died after hearing the news about Baoyu and Baochai's wedding.
After this life, never again.
Jia Heng looked at the girl with charming features and said, "Sister Lin, I will treat you well in the future."
Daiyu felt the pity in the young man's gaze, her heart was slightly shaken, and her heart was plucked like a harp string.
The two of them talked for an unknown amount of time before fatigue kept coming. The warm fragrance of soft jade in the curtains was mixed with the scent of musk in the cage. Jia Heng hugged Daiyu and fell into a deep sleep.
Nothing more to say all night.
…
…
The next day, the sky was bright, and the morning sun from the east shone in the courtyard. The remaining snow on the eaves of the black tile roof gradually melted, and the accumulated snow water dripped on the green bricks, soaking the green bricks with patches of water.
Jia Heng looked at Daiyu, who was lying in his arms like a kitten, and gently stroked a strand of hair on the girl's forehead.
Thinking about the soft humming voice with a crying tone, and the winding winding path... I was also a little dazed.
The Crimson Pearl Immortal Grass really returned all the tears of his life to him.
Daiyu seemed to be aware at this moment, Qiongbi's nose twitched, her curved eyelashes trembled, her starry eyes slowly opened, and during the tremor, under the willow leaf's thin eyebrows, the starry eyes were full of light
He looked at the young man and said with a bit of joy and brightness in his voice: "Brother Heng."
Jia Heng stood up and said warmly: "Sister Lin, it's getting late. Get up."
After a night's rest, Daiyu's skin became white and greasy, and she became the energetic girl again.
Daiyu held up an arm, and there was a hint of brightness on her bright face.
Jia Heng stood up slowly, put on her skirt, and called Zicuckoo who was waiting outside.
Then, Zicuckoo brought a basin of hot water over and helped Jia Heng wash up.
Daiyu is also dressed here, her beautiful face is full of the shyness of a new bride, but compared to yesterday's bad behavior, she is much calmer today.
Then, Daiyu came to the dressing table. She did not comb her hair into a bun as usual, but looking at the bright face in the bronze mirror, the girl's eyebrows were lowered, becoming more and more shy and coy.
Mood.
Jia Heng said: "Sister Lin, I have something to do when I go out in the morning."
Daiyu turned around and was applying lipstick paper. When she heard this, she turned her head. Under her smoky brows, her starry eyes were very smart. She chuckled and said, "Brother Heng, go and do your work. I won't see you off."
"
Jia Heng looked at the lively girl, feeling somewhat inexplicably happy in his heart, and said, "Yeah."
The two had breakfast.
Jia Heng didn't stay long and left Ningguo Mansion to look for Jinyang.
…
…
Jinyang Princess Mansion
In the morning, the sun shines warmly in the courtyard, falling on the rockery with jagged rocks and the pavilions with hooked eaves.
In the backyard and the wing room, the windows are bright and clean, the decorations are luxurious, and the inside is warm and cozy, like a spring with flowers in full bloom.
The eldest princess of Jinyang is coaxing the swaddled baby. Her plump and beautiful face is full of joy, and the baby's white and tender face is filled with smiles. She seems to be somewhat happy and stretches out her little hands, wanting to
Caressing the pink face of Princess Jinyang.
"Your Highness, Duke Wei has arrived at the door." Lianxue quickly entered the hall and said coquettishly.
"Come back as soon as you come back." The eldest princess of Jinyang said softly as if she didn't care, and then continued to coax the baby.
Lianxue: "..."
It's really like having children and forgetting about men.
Li Chanyue was sitting not far away, a smile lingering on her beautiful face, but her voice was full of excitement as she said, "I'll go greet Mr. Xiao Jia."
As he said that, he put down the sheet of music in his hand and walked away quickly.
After a while, Jia Heng walked into the backyard, looked at Li Chanyue who was walking slowly from the corridor, and said warmly: "Chanyue."
Li Chanyue's beautiful face was filled with joy, and she said softly: "Didn't Mr. Xiao Jia go to the Yamen of the Ministry of War yesterday? Is the matter settled?"
Jia Heng nodded and said, "The matter is done."
Not only has the matter with the Ministry of War been settled, Daiyu's side has also been settled.
Li Chanyue came forward, took Jia Heng's arm, and said, "This morning, Sister Xiaoxiao sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that my cousin and aunt are coming back."
Jia Heng said in surprise: "Xianning is coming back?"
I haven't seen Tian Niuer for such a long time, and I miss her a little bit in my heart.
The two of them talked and walked slowly to the hall of the back house. At this moment, the early spring sunlight fell on the two of them, like a layer of golden gauze.
At this moment, the eldest princess of Jinyang was sitting on a chair covered with soft mattress, holding the infant in her arms, singing nursery rhymes to coax the baby.
Jia Heng took Li Chanyue's slender hand and entered the hall.
The eldest princess of Jinyang, Yong Li, had a happy face on her face. She stared at the young man and said, "Here we come."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Come and take a look. After the Shangyuan Festival, we have to go to Anqing Mansion."
The eldest princess of Jinyang nodded and asked: "Then where do you plan to spend the Lantern Festival?"
Jia Heng said: "Let's talk about it then."
Now he is really at a loss for what to do, because Jinyang still has a child, and he can't get everyone together.
"New Year's Eve is celebrated here. During the Lantern Festival, please take Chan Yue to Ningguo Mansion." The eldest princess of Jinyang said softly with her beautiful face.
"That's fine." Jia Heng didn't say much else. He sat down and teased the swaddled baby.
Since the two had children, in addition to love, they have also maintained some family ties.
Princess Jinyang said softly: "Don't pinch his cheeks all the time. He won't be handsome when he grows up."
Jia Heng said: "Then I hold his little hand. When will he grow up and call him daddy?"
The eldest princess of Jinyang said quietly: "I have to wait until I am more than one year old, but I will call my mother first at that time."
Jia Heng smiled, looked at the beauty with watery eyes, and said: "Yes, you accompany him the most."
Sometimes, he also enjoys spending time with Jinyang's family of three.
The eldest princess of Jinyang said softly: "The queen mother urged me to go back again, saying that after my father was assassinated by Chen Yuan, he was worried and his body was getting worse."
Jia Heng said: "After the Lantern Festival, you can go back. I will have someone take you off."
Princess Jinyang said: "What about you?"
Jia Heng said: "Go to Anqing to deal with the affairs of the military camp, and then return to Beijing."
He also stayed in Jiangnan for many days.
Princess Jinyang's eyebrows were curved and her beautiful eyes were as moist as water. She said softly: "That's fine."
The couple talked as usual until Yuan Chun said: "Brother Heng, the guard in Jinyi Palace outside said that he has a letter from you."
Jia Heng stood up and asked: "Sister, where is the letter?"
Yuanchun handed over the letter, with plump face and beautiful eyes as full as water.
"What's wrong?" Princess Jinyang asked.
Jia Heng said: "It's nothing. It's a letter from Xu Kai, a former Hanlin scholar. He is the magistrate of Runing Prefecture. It's almost the Chinese New Year, so he came to say hello. The journey is too long, and the envelope just arrived."
With that said, he opened the letter and started reading.
Princess Jinyang nodded, with a thoughtful look on her face, and said, "Then you are his benefactor."
The so-called benefactor refers to the recommender, political background and backstage.
"I can only say that we are like-minded." Jia Heng said: "In terms of the changes in Runing Mansion in the past two years, and some greetings, I am wondering whether to recommend him to go to Taiwan as the chief envoy to conduct strategic planning in Taiwan."
As a candidate for governor of a newly established place like Taiwan, he would prefer Feng Zheng, a close relative of the Empress Dowager Feng, the Chief Envoy of Fujian, and it was impossible for Xu Kai to be promoted to governor all at once.
Due to his status as a member of the Hanlin Academy, there is a limit to his promotion, and the Chief Envoy of the newly established province would be the most suitable.
Princess Jinyang's beautiful eyes flashed under her eyebrows and she asked, "Didn't you say before that you wanted to recommend a cousin from the Feng family?"
Jia Heng put the letter into the envelope, smiled and said, "Yes, I have been recommended to you recently. When you really come back to Beijing, if the Queen Mother really notices this, she might be able to be more lenient with me."
His daughter became pregnant and gave birth to a child. When the Queen Mother found out, she would probably settle the score with him.
"The Queen Mother actually doesn't care too much about the Feng family." The eldest princess of Jinyang said softly with a delicate face.
It was rare for him to be so obedient, and she was ready to fight against her mother after returning to Beijing.
Jia Heng said: "There's nothing we can do about it."
The eldest princess of Jinyang pursed her pink lips and said softly: "The Queen Mother may also like Bao'er. It's just that if the emperor knew about this, I don't know what he would think."
She was still worried that after the emperor's brother found out, he would suddenly become suspicious and cause new troubles.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment, then changed the subject and said, "That's all, let's not talk about this anymore. It's noon and it's time to have lunch."
Princess Jinyang nodded and stopped mentioning the matter.
there's always a solution to any problem.
…
…
Years pass by and seasons flow by. While Jia Heng was constantly traveling between Ningguo Mansion and Jinyang Princess Mansion, it was unknowingly arriving on the twelfth day of the first lunar month of the 16th year of Chongping.
Jinling Mansion, ferry——
After Empress Song embarked on her journey back to Jinling, she was escorted by Chen Xiao and other palace guards and returned to the land of Jinling.
Jia Heng, surrounded by a group of royal guards, stood at the ferry, looking up at the ships with red flame flags flying, his face looked incomprehensible.
I haven’t seen Sweet Girl for a while, and to be honest, I’m really worried in my heart.
It's not that I'm greedy for the unparalleled plumpness, elasticity, and the laughter and banquets when we get along.
Jia Heng looked up and saw a two-story boat slowly docking at the ferry. There were ripples on the lake. A graceful and beautiful woman got off the boat accompanied by Princess Xianning, Chen Xiao.
But when he looked back, Liang Wang Chen Wei was nowhere to be seen.
It turned out that King Liang stayed in the Song family to help Song Jing deal with the aftermath.
The Empress of the Song Dynasty wore a plain white dress and a black cloak because she still wanted to mourn her father's death, but it did not detract from her unparalleled elegance.
Especially the soft and sad look on the eyebrows, which undoubtedly neutralizes the sharpness and respect in the past, making people feel pity.
Empress Song's phoenix eyebrows were raised, and she raised her bright and clear eyes, looking at Jia Heng with wavering eyes. For some reason, when she looked at the boy in python suit with firm eyebrows, her originally gloomy mood became joyful and bright.
.
Jia Heng walked a few steps quickly, cupped his hands towards the Empress of Song and said, "Your Majesty."
Empress Song stepped onto the ship with the support of her nanny, and said softly: "Zi Yu."
At this moment, Li Chanyue came forward, took Princess Xianning's hand, and called out affectionately: "Cousin Xianning."
Princess Xianning smiled, and under her slender eyebrows, she looked at Li Chanyue with bright eyes, and said jokingly: "Chanyue, your complexion is getting better and better recently."
I guess I have been nourished by my husband a lot these days.
When Li Chanyue heard this, her pretty and bright cheeks turned as red as a blush, and she was a little overwhelmed by Princess Xianning's appraising eyes.
What else can my cousin say, other than to say that Mr. Jia and her have been inseparable during this period?
Song Yan didn't listen to her cousin's chat. She was wearing a light white coat and skirt, and a fox fur cloak. She looked at the young man with watery eyes, and longing was surging in her heart.
Empress Song glanced at the two cousins with her phoenix eyes, and her eyes fell on the face of the young man in python suit. When she met the look with a little pity, her heart trembled, and she whispered: "Xianning, Chanyue, get in the carriage.
"
A group of nuns surrounded Empress Song as she got into the carriage and headed towards the palace garden in Jinling.
Jinling, Palace Garden
This palace, which has been designated as the capital since the dynasties of Taizu and Taizong, is still maintained by palace officials and internal supervisors. When the Empress of the Song Dynasty entered the palace, she brought a group of palace officials and nuns with her.
At this moment, Empress Song was staying in the palace named "Zhuixia Palace". The palace had been cleaned and looked brand new, and the charcoal brazier was lit, exuding steaming heat.
Empress Song sat down on the cloud bed covered with soft mattresses. The beauty looked like a peony flower, plump and exquisite. Although her snow-skinned and jade face was not painted with powder, it was still graceful and gorgeous. Instead, it had a softness that made people pity.
state.
The beauty looked at Xianning who was talking to Jia Heng and said softly: "The Lantern Festival will be in two days. You, Xianning and Chanyue will have a good time celebrating the festival. This is the first Lantern Festival you will celebrate after you get married."
Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at the beauty, with suppressed concern in his eyes, and said warmly: "Your Majesty, you should also refrain from mourning."
Because Xianning is here, he can no longer restrain himself and hold back.
Not to mention, Chen Xiao is going to lead the Jinyi Palace Guards to arrange the security of the entire palace. He will be here soon.
Empress Song did not speak, but her jade face, which looked like hibiscus petals under her beautiful brows, was lost in thought, and she sighed quietly.
Princess Xianning came closer and advised: "Mother, please don't be too sad. Even though my grandfather is in heaven, I don't want my mother to wallow in sorrow and become ill from depression."
Li Chanyue said softly: "My aunt's condolences."
Everyone stood aside and comforted Queen Song for a while.
Empress Song nodded, looked at the few people, and said, "Xianning, take Chanyue and Yan'er with you, and go to your aunt's place to have a rest. The Queen Mother should also be quiet here."
She wanted to be alone to deal with it, what to do after returning to Beijing, and the little fox...
Empress Song glanced at the young man in the python suit, not daring to look into those bright and bright eyes.
Under Princess Xianning's curved eyebrows, there was concern in her clear and bright eyes, and she said: "The queen mother is so tired from traveling and traveling, she should take a good rest."
Empress Song put one hand on her forehead, waved the other gently, and said softly: "Go."
Jia Heng did not stay long after that, and took Princess Xianning, Li Chanyue, and Song Yan out of the palace garden and returned to the eldest princess's mansion in Jinyang.
Well, we can only wait for Tian Niuer to call him alone to ask about King Wei and the matter of seizing the legitimate son.
