Chapter 1322 Jia Heng: We are finally husband and wife
Ruyi Building, in the wing room
Jia Heng and Gu Ruoqing were talking together, and they sat down to drink tea again, separated by a small table.
Gu Ruoqing put down the wine cup, slowly cast her bright eyes at Jia Heng, and asked: "Is Duke Wei Guo going to marry his junior sister recently?"
The beauty spoke softly, and for some reason, a certain sadness gradually emerged in her heart.
This is like an older leftover girl watching her best friends get married one after another, and her thoughts are inevitably complicated.
Jia Heng smiled and nodded, and said: "It has been a year since the wedding was granted. During Xiaoxiao's wedding, if Ruoqing has nothing else to do, you can go and watch the excitement."
After older leftover women see other people getting married, their mentality will change to some extent. After all, are they really going to be alone all their lives?
Gu Ruoqing's willow-leaf eyebrows were as curved as black, her eyes were dazed for a moment, and she said softly: "I'll go and have a look."
Jia Heng nodded and asked: "Ruo Qing, how long has Gao Yong been entangled with you?"
Hearing this, Gu Ruoqing was stunned for a moment and said, "Just in the past few days, Gao Yong came to give gifts to me during the recent Beijing Courtesan Competition."
Jia Heng thought for a while, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, and said softly: "If Gao Yong gets entangled in the future, Ruoqing can send someone to look for me."
Gu Ruoqing nodded and said, "Yeah."
Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at the pretty beauty and asked, "Ruo Qing, what has Chen Yuan been up to lately?"
Gu Ruoqing shook his head gently and said thoughtfully: "Chen Yuan has been busy with other things recently, but he sneaked into the capital again. I don't know what he is doing."
Jia Heng looked thoughtful and asked: "Ruoqing, is the Holy Mother of White Lotus also in the capital right now?"
Gu Ruoqing was silent for a moment, then she looked at Jia Heng with clear eyes like dew, and said, "But Xiaoxiao told you?"
Jia Heng shook his head and said: "That's not true. There are spies in my Jinyi Mansion who know very well about some personnel in the White Lotus Sect. The Holy Mother of White Lotus should have hidden her identity and is hiding in the capital, but she doesn't know where she is."
Gu Ruoqing's jade face had snow-white skin, she pursed her pink lips and said softly: "Master, she is in the capital right now, but I can't tell you where she is at this moment."
Jia Heng nodded, picked up the wine cup, took a sip, and said: "Now that the Han Dynasty is at peace, the people live and work in peace and contentment, but the White Lotus Sect is still deceiving everyone, causing chaos in the world, and causing the people to suffer from war again."
Gu Ruoqing's eyes were extremely cold under his willow-leaf eyebrows, and he said softly: "It will only take one or two years for the Han people to live and work in peace and contentment. As long as the corrupt officials in the world continue to exploit the people, even if there is no White Lotus Sect, there will still be Red Lotus Sect.
."
Jia Heng smiled and said: "Miss Ruoqing's words really won my heart, but now that the world is at peace, the White Lotus Sect and the Red Lotus Sect should cease their activities and cannot go against the trend, otherwise, they will only
It will lead to more disasters."
Gu Ruoqing nodded and said, "Last year, in Shandong, we bucked the trend."
Jia Heng nodded and said: "Miss Ruoqing, I can also advise your master. If the world is peaceful and given time, it will be a prosperous age, why bother to confuse the world and commit more crimes?"
Gu Ruoqing raised her head, looked at the young man with bright eyes, nodded, and said, "I will do it."
After that, the two of them didn't say anything else, but each raised their wine cups and took a sip.
On the other side, Gao Yong, Wei Ruolan, and Chen Yejun, accompanied by the guards of Jinyi Mansion, went to a medical clinic to seek treatment from a doctor.
After leaving the hospital, Gao Yong's eyes moved slightly, but his face was still full of anger. He shouted: "It's too much to bully someone!"
Wei Ruolan couldn't help but sigh and said: "Who can let someone be an important military minister and the prime minister of the dynasty? Although we are the sons of princes and come from a family of officials, who's family can compare with his?"
There is another reason. Compared with the second generation of the dandy, Jia Heng fought his way up from the bottom. Now that he has great power, even his fathers must treat him with respect.
Chen Yejun chuckled and said: "Now, the whole capital is saying that the Duke of Wei is not only becoming more and more powerful, but also has a lot of peach blossoms. Not only did he win the princess and the princess before, but now he has also got a betrothal and a romantic relationship.
A princess, if outsiders don't know about it, would think that there is no other man in the whole Han Dynasty but this Duke Wei."
Hearing this, Gao Yong snorted coldly, and his face darkened, or it could be said that Chen Yejun mentioned his sad things.
Gao Yong sneered and said: "As the saying goes, when the moon is full, it will be short, and when the water is full, it will overflow. The higher this Duke of Wei is praised now, the more painful his fall will be in the future. Let's wait and see."
Wei Ruolan lowered her voice and said softly: "What Brother Gao said is that it is difficult to say what will happen in the future."
Gao Yong was silent for a moment and said in a low voice: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go eat."
Chen Yejun's eyes moved, he lowered his voice and said, "If Brother Gao has any resentment toward that person, I can recommend someone to Brother Gao who can control Duke Wei."
At the end of the sentence, the voice was obviously lowered a bit.
When Gao Yong heard this, he was slightly startled and asked in surprise: "Who can I recommend?"
As the son of the second minister in the current cabinet, he already wanted to stay away from Duke Wei, but he didn't think there was anyone in the court who was more popular than Jia Heng's son.
A glimmer appeared in Chen Yejun's eyes, and he whispered: "Brother Gao, please be patient and come with me."
Chen Yuan's father, King Zhao, had a close relationship with their family back then. Now that Chen Yuan wants to make a comeback, his Chen family may not be able to take advantage of the situation.
Seeing that Chen Yejun was mysterious, Gao Yong aroused some curiosity, and then followed Chen Yejun and Wei Ruolan to the place of rendezvous.
…
…
The years pass by, and the seasons flow by.
Time flies by like water, and before we know it, it is August 15th of the 18th year of Chongping, the Mid-Autumn Festival.
This day was also the day when Jia Heng was ordered to marry Yaruo, the daughter of Princess Le'an and King Meng.
At this moment, the shops along the streets of Shenjing City, under the supervision of the Five City Soldiers and Horses Division, have already changed their red ribbons, and are bustling with activity. The so-called red makeup for ten miles is blazing like fire.
The gongs and drums are noisy and lively.
At this moment, the palace of Prince Zhou was also decorated with lights and colorful decorations. There were groups of nuns in brightly-colored clothes and makeup, all wearing festive clothes, with smiles on their faces.
The sedan chair welcoming the bride has been carried to the bluestone road in front of the door, and there is a lively scene with people blowing and playing around.
The musicians of the Taiyue Department, with red ribbons tied on their heads, mostly puffed up their cheeks, are playing their instruments hard.
In the hall, accompanied by Princess Xianning and Princess Qinghe, Chen Xiao was dressing up in the mirror, her peach-like jade cheeks full of bright red.
Although Chen Xiao has been wandering in the world for many years, does he not have a longing for family in his heart?
Princess Xianning's beautiful face seemed to be covered with a smile, and she said softly: "Sister Xiaoxiao is so beautiful today."
Under Chen Xiao's curved eyebrows, his eyes moved silently, Qiongbi snorted as if in disgust, and said: "When am I not beautiful?"
Princess Xianning: "..."
Princess Xianning's fair and flawless cheeks, like bright jade, looked a little funny, and she joked: "Sister Xiaoxiao is right, she seems to love beauty."
Are you proud of this?
Chen Xiao snorted softly, and under the two curved willow-leaf slender eyebrows, those charming and flowing eyes were flowing, filled with joy.
She is also a girl, and naturally loves beauty. However, she has been wandering around in the world for so many years, and now she has a destination.
Qinghe Princess Li Chanyue Zangxing Yunyue's bright eyes were flickering, she was looking at her cousins with a smile, joking, looking at the dressed up bride, she couldn't help but recall the scene of her wedding day in her heart.
At this moment, a nanny with a happy smile on her face called at the door and said: "Princess, the auspicious time has arrived, let's set off."
Princess Xianning smiled and said, "Sister Xiaoxiao, let's go. Don't wait too long, sir."
Chen Xiao responded, and then, with the help of her grandma, she walked along a spacious courtyard paved with red carpet and came to the outside of the gate.
Then, accompanied by the sound of blowing and beating, he quickly walked outside.
Jia Heng was wearing the official groom's uniform at the moment, riding on a tall horse, followed by several royal guards in royal robes. The welcoming procession behind him was even more majestic, and everyone around him was in a festive red color.
"Here comes the bride." Mammy said loudly.
Jia Heng stared at the slim beauty in a fiery red wedding dress, with a bit of trance in his eyes.
Although Xiaoxiao also accompanied him when he got married to Xianning and Chanyue, but it was not as grand and solemn as it is now.
Moreover, Xiaoxiao followed him in the southern and northern wars and suffered a lot, but now it can be regarded as a fruitful achievement and the moon is full.
Jia Heng watched Chen Xiao enter the sedan with the help of her grandma.
Accompanied by the high-pitched speech of the ceremony officer, several bearers lifted up the sedan chair and headed towards the Ancestral Temple.
Jia Heng also pulled up the reins, and the maroon horse snorted, and immediately led the wedding team to Prince Meng's Mansion across the other street.
…
…
Prince Meng's Mansion——
In front of the eaves at the front and back of the palace, the ladies in brightly dressed and festive clothes were also lined up on the left and right, with smiles on their faces.
"Crackling..."
A firecracker crackled, paper flowers and gunpowder smoke filled the air, and everyone around was filled with joy.
Yaruo was wearing a fiery red wedding dress, with a red gem tied around her forehead. At this moment, in the bronze mirror engraved with water chestnuts, her pretty and bright little face was full of joy.
After today, she will be Brother Heng's bride.
At this moment, the nun outside smiled and called, "Princess Yaruo, the auspicious time has arrived."
Yaruo's father was a prince, but he did not have a title, and the servants in the mansion often addressed him as Princess Yaruo.
Yaruo's face turned crimson and she urged: "Quickly, put a red hijab on me quickly, don't waste the good time."
Suddenly, the two maids around took a red hijab embroidered with a mandarin duck pattern and covered the girl's head.
Yaruo said softly, and then, with the support of two maids, walked out of the house.
At this moment, a woolen red carpet has been laid out in the solemn Ancestral Temple, with eunuchs in rich clothes and guards in bright armor lining up on both sides.
Under the eaves of the corridor are the cabinet ministers, the six ministries and nine ministers, and the supervisors of the temples.
Emperor Chongping, Empress Song, and Empress Dowager Feng of Changle Palace stood under the eaves and watched the sedan approaching, accompanied by Jia Heng.
"The newcomer has arrived."
At this moment, as an elderly eunuch quickly ran over, Emperor Chongping and Empress Song heard this and both raised their heads.
Under his thin, slack eyebrows, Emperor Chongping stared at the newlywed couple in the distance. His dark, resolute face was full of smiles.
Empress Song's fair-skinned face also showed a touch of expectation and longing.
The little fox is going to get married to Xiaoxiao later?
I haven't seen him for a few days now, but I don't know how he is?
Empress Dowager Feng's old eyes also looked at the young man, feeling a little helpless in her heart.
If she is really a woman from the Chen family, she can't live without Jia Ziyu, right?
It was not enough to marry off Xianning, but now the king of Zhou's daughter was asked to marry him.
The Queen Mother obviously didn't know that her daughter was married to Jia Heng and had a child.
Under the gaze of everyone, after a while, Jia Heng and a newlywed couple were seen walking from a distance. Jia Heng was still walking in the middle, with red silk ribbons on both sides connecting Chen Xiao and Chen Xiao.
Ya Ruo.
This was Jia Heng’s position when he married Princess Xianning and Princess Qinghe.
At this moment, Lu Li, the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, had a cold look on his handsome face.
In this way, all etiquette and law are abolished, what kind of system will be left?
"Worship heaven and earth."
Yao Yu, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, acted as the master of ceremonies. He was presiding over the wedding under the eaves of the Imperial Ancestral Temple. At this moment, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel had a clear voice, with a round and round tone, just like broken jade falling on a jade plate.
It sounded in front of the solemn and solemn palace.
Jia Heng, Chen Xiao, and Ya Ruo turned their backs to Emperor Chongping and Empress Song, and bowed to heaven and earth.
"Two bows to the high hall."
Jia Heng, Chen Xiao and Ya Ruo turned around and paid homage to Emperor Chongping and Queen Song.
Emperor Chongping and Empress Song looked at the three of them with smiles on their faces.
Emperor Chongping looked at the young man under his thin brows, with admiration gradually appearing in his eyes.
He married his daughter and niece to Zi Yu, and rekindled their kindness. He was indeed very considerate to Zi Yu. If it were to be as some rumors in the capital said, then it would be like abandoning both man and god.
"Husband and wife bow to each other." At this moment, the ceremony officer Yao Yu shouted loudly.
At this time, Jia Heng faced the envious eyes of the guests present and bowed to Chen Xiao and Ya Ruo one after another.
At this moment, Li Zan, the civil and military officials watching the ceremony from a distance, his eyes flickered, and he thought to himself.
Regardless of whether the Duke of Wei committed suicide in order to protect himself, he will continue to commit suicide in the future.
"Send it to the bridal chamber." At this time, the etiquette officer said.
Jia Heng watched Chen Xiao and Yaruo, accompanied and supported by several nannies, return to Ningrong Mansion.
Then, Emperor Chongping looked at the young man and said with a smile: "Ziyu, a dinner party was held in Xihe Palace, and Ziyu also joined in the conversation."
Jia Heng cupped his hands, but when he raised his eyes, he couldn't help but catch a glimpse of the beauty in gorgeous clothes. When their eyes met, his mind was slightly shaken, but he didn't dare to look more.
Then, everyone went to Xihe Palace in a mighty manner.
At this moment, banquets had been set up on both sides of the palace, and under the guidance of the eunuchs, everyone sat down and took their seats.
Emperor Chongping said: "My lords, today is a day of great joy for Ziyu. I only have one niece, and now she has finally found her home. If the king of Zhou knows who he is, he should be smiling."
All the court officials who were seated at the scene had thoughtful expressions on their faces when they heard this.
King Zhou is really a familiar yet unfamiliar name, and it was also a legend back then.
Jia Heng put down the wine cup at this moment, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
He secretly thought that this was the brilliance of Emperor Chongping. The marriage granted could also be based on the two words of filial piety and brotherhood. Perhaps this was not considered two daughters serving one husband together, but choosing a good husband for his niece.
That said, it is actually not wrong.
Emperor Chongping cast his warm gaze on the young man's face, caught the change of expression on the young man's face, and said loudly: "Everyone, let's enjoy the banquet."
Upon hearing this, all the court officials who were seated at the scene thanked him one after another.
In the evening, the sky was filled with sunset, and the golden and red sunset shone on the glazed tiles of the palace, elongating the figure of Jia Heng riding a horse on the palace road.
Jia Heng rode a horse and headed towards the Ning and Rong mansions.
At this moment, Ningguo Mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. In a house, the lights were brightly lit, as bright as the clouds.
In the side room, Chen Xiao was dressed in a fiery red wedding dress, her hands folded in front of her, and she was waiting quietly.
As footsteps came from the corridor eaves one after another, Chen Xiao couldn't help but squeeze a handkerchief tightly, but then he laughed at himself again.
They have been an old couple for several years, but they can still be so nervous?
Then, there was a "squeak~" sound, which was clearly the sound of the door frame opening.
Then, Jia Heng, dressed in the groom's official uniform, with a tall figure, stepped into the side room with a few steps.
After a while, I heard a clear voice.
"Xiaoxiao."
While talking, Jia Heng came quickly, looked at the beauty sitting on the bed, picked up the jade Ruyi on the table, and gently lifted Chen Xiao's red hijab.
Looking through the light, one can see that the face is more delicate than a flower. The coldness and beauty of the past have lost a bit, but the charm of the brows and corners of the eyes at this moment is undoubtedly a bit more graceful and gorgeous.
Jia Heng held the beauty's slender hand, with a hint of complexity in his cold eyes, and said, "Xiaoxiao, we...are finally husband and wife."
"It's been a long time ago." Chen Xiao said softly with dull eyes. At this moment, when he was about to say something, the young man came closer and imprinted it on his lips.
The beauty put her hand on Jia Heng's shoulder, and gradually lowered her trembling eyelashes. She felt her two lips were soft and moist, and the unbridled, hot breath hit her face.
Although the two of them had kissed countless times, this time it seemed particularly different. This was the wedding night when the two officially became husband and wife.
Jia Heng gently put his arms around Chen Xiao's shoulders and said softly: "Xiaoxiao, have you missed me during this time?"
Chen Xiao's cheeks were red with embarrassment, and he snorted softly and said, "Let's drink Hexin wine first, and you can go find Yaruo now."
Chen Xiao and Yaruo were not in the same courtyard, but only separated by a wall. At this moment, the sky was blue and the moon was bright. The full moon on the Mid-Autumn Festival was big and round.
Jia Heng chuckled lightly and said warmly: "I will accompany you first, and then I will go look for Yaruo."
As he said that, he took the wine cup from the tables on the side, handed it over, and said softly: "Xiaoxiao, have a drink."
Then, the two of them picked up the wine cups in their hands, hooked their arms together, and drank a drink facing each other.
He was slightly drunk, and his cheeks were as red as a blush.
Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Let's go look for Ya Ruo. I think she will be a little more clingy."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Then let's go there together."
Chen Xiao: "..."
At this moment, I still want to hug him from left to right.
Jia Heng said: "It's not convenient for me to run on both sides, so why don't you go there too?"
Chen Xiao also felt that it was quite interesting and funny for a while, and said softly: "Okay then, I will go over and watch the wind for you."
Bits and pieces of her interactions with that young man could not help but come up in her heart. It seemed that when the two of them were together, she was more likely to look out for the wind?
Jia Heng didn't say much and walked slowly along the corridor. After a while, he headed towards another beautifully decorated courtyard.
