The night falls and the lanterns begin to light up.
In the side room, the sandalwood incense cage exudes the scent of fragrance, and behind the curtains, Jia Heng embraces the plump and delicate body of the eldest princess of Jinyang, feeling soft and plump, which makes people feel shocked.
Jia Heng looked at the beauty who was looking down at him and said, "Jinyang, I'm sorry for you."
Princess Jinyang snorted softly and said, "You still know."
Jia Heng didn't say much and let the beautiful woman do what she wanted.
After a while, the eldest princess of Jinyang's cheeks were as red as a blush, and her face with her beautiful hair was almost wet with sweat, and her beautiful eyes were vaguely glistening. She said softly: "Yuan Chun has been with you for so long, when will you give me
She has a child."
Jia Heng said: "I'll try my best."
Yuanchun on the side blushed with shame, lowered his head, and didn't say much, just letting the young man be busy.
Jia Heng gently took hold of Princess Jinyang's soft, soft hands and said, "Jinyang, if you are tired, take a rest."
"Huh? Why do you think I'm old?" Princess Jinyang's jade cheeks were annoyed, and the beaded hairpin that was shaking on her bun paused slightly, and she said softly.
Jia Heng said: "Where do you want to go?"
After all, we haven't seen each other for more than a year, and the negative effects of having a child are gradually fading, or Jinyang has completely returned to normal.
Jia Heng stood up, looked at the gratuitously beautiful face, and then held the beauty's plump waist.
Princess Jinyang snorted softly and said, "Yuan Chun, come here."
Yuanchun responded with a shy response, and then he lay down consciously, letting the beauty crawl on top of him. He suddenly felt soft and soft, with a sense of oppression.
I don't know how long it took, but the swaying candlelight that was originally due to the wind slowly blowing in through the raised windows suddenly paused.
The eldest princess of Jinyang nestled her beautiful hair like a waterfall on the boy's hot chest and said softly: "When the world is at peace, we can stay together forever. We can't stay together like this."
Jia Heng said "yes" softly, and then hugged the beauty's smooth and soft shoulders. At this moment, he looked at Yuan Chun, who was drawing circles on the spot, and felt a little happy.
It seems that he and Yuanchun haven't seen each other for a long time.
…
…
The next day, the golden rooster breaks at dawn, and the morning light rises from all directions, shining on the houses in the courtyard, and you can see the light and shadow on the blue bricks and black tiles like gauze.
But there seemed to be an autumn dew last night. The dewdrops rolled on the plane trees and various grass blades in the courtyard, making them crystal clear and reflecting the sunlight with all kinds of brilliance.
Jia Heng came out of the warm fragrant soft jade and two soft snow-white clothes, and just opened his arms, but the beauty next to him had already woken up.
That graceful, gorgeous and plump face was full of charm, and she said softly: "Today, I have to hold the festival in my arms and go to the palace to pay my respects to my mother."
Jia Heng asked: "Jinyang, what's going on?"
The eldest princess of Jinyang rolled her eyes at the boy in the python suit and said softly: "Don't think too much, it's the queen mother... She knows that I have a child, and she wants to see her grandson."
"Then you won't ask the child who his father is, right?" Jia Heng's face paused slightly, and the voice behind him seemed to gradually become lower, and he felt a little uneasy.
The eldest princess of Jinyang, with her beautiful face as bright as the clouds, seemed to hum softly and said in a low voice: "I am already so old and have no heirs to live by. If you really want a child, you can just find one at random."
If a man borrows money from his mother, she can understand it."
Jia Heng was speechless for a moment.
Secretly, what Jinyang said made sense, but he was speechless.
So, he is actually the tool man?
The eldest princess of Jinyang snorted and said: "I think that instead of being secretive, it is better to raise the child openly. When the time comes, I can say that I met him in Jinling. Later, he wandered around the world, and generally no one would ask.
"
Jia Heng thought for a while, then his palms were soft and plump and spread out, and said: "You can decide for yourself."
"As long as the mother does not pursue the matter, there will be no one in the world to blame. What's wrong with my child?" Princess Jinyang said in a low voice with her face as red as drunkenness.
Then, he opened up a mandarin duck brocade quilt covering his body, put on a black and red embroidered python suit, and got up.
From behind the curtain, a faint sound of "嘤咛" could be heard.
Yuan Chun also got up from the bed, and the brocade quilt slipped off, revealing a piece of flawless white skin, and the plump and white face was already as bright as the clouds. His voice trembled slightly and he said: "Your Highness, I will serve you.
Get up."
Yesterday, Hengdi agreed to her request for a child and almost... gave her all his love.
I think it won't be long before there should be joy.
The eldest princess of Jinyang responded softly and said: "Let's have dinner together later."
Then, without saying much, he allowed Yuanchun to dress.
The two have long been comrades fighting side by side, joining forces to fight against the enemy, and they no longer know each other.
Although Yuanchun made a mat for one night last night.
Palace Garden, Changle Palace
On the futon in the Linxuan window, Queen Mother Feng was dressed in silk and satin. Her hair was covered with silver threads, pinned up with a hairpin, and her old face was fair and elegant. In her hand, she seemed to be knocking on the door.
Holding a wooden fish, he is clearly reciting sutras.
Since the death of the Emperor, Empress Dowager Feng no longer cares about food and drink. In other words, she doesn't even have anyone around her to talk to, so she has no one to relieve her loneliness.
The eldest princess of Jinyang came back from Jinling this time, essentially to spend more time with the Empress Dowager Feng, who has become a family member.
Empress Dowager Feng drooped her eyelids and was beating the wooden fish. The sound of the wooden fish beating came out, and the sound of "dong-dong" could not be heard.
"Your Majesty, the eldest princess is here." At this moment, the female officer called softly, which also made the old woman who was deep in thought come back to her senses.
Empress Dowager Feng opened her old eyes, and not long after, she saw the graceful beauty in gorgeous clothes, accompanied by Princess Xianning and Princess Qinghe, entering the palace, and she was holding a boy in her arms.
.
"I have met the Queen Mother." Princess Jinyang came closer, her cheeks were as pink as clouds, and she said softly.
Behind her, Princess Xianning and Princess Qinghe Li Chanyue also came forward to salute and said softly: "I have met the Queen Mother."
Empress Dowager Feng said: "Let the Aijia see him."
At this moment, the old man's old eyes suddenly fell on the face of the baby boy held in the arms of Princess Jinyang, and said: "Jinyang, he is..."
Seeing her daughter's child, the old woman felt a little happy and inexplicable.
The eldest princess of Jinyang said: "Mother, this is the festival that my daughter mentioned."
In a letter sent by the eldest princess of Jinyang to the Queen Mother Feng, the Jie'er was naturally named Chen.
"Jie'er, hurry up, come here and call grandma." Princess Jinyang's plump, fair face was full of smiles, urging the baby boy in her arms, and whispered.
"Grandma." The child looked at the kind-faced old lady. It was obvious that she could tell the difference between the big and small kings. She changed her unfamiliarity from seeing Jia Heng yesterday and her voice was sweet.
Empress Dowager Feng smiled and said: "Good boy, Lianxiang, go and get my piece of jade pendant and give it to Jie'er."
"Hey." At this moment, Lianxiang called softly, and then turned around.
Empress Dowager Feng said with a smile: "This child is really well born. Looking at the Luo'er from the Ai family, she looks exactly like Qin Huangsao's wife."
The so-called visitor's eyes were rather poisonous, and it was immediately obvious that the two boys were similar in their eyebrows, eyes, and facial features.
The eldest princess of Jinyang was slightly startled, but her face showed no abnormality. She blushed slightly and said with a smile: "The two children probably look like the imperial brother and me."
This makes sense, after all, the eldest princess of Jinyang and Emperor Chongping are the same mother.
Empress Dowager Feng nodded. Her old eyes were as bright as water, so she didn't doubt that he was there.
After all, Jie'er may have inherited genes from the Chen family.
Empress Dowager Feng looked at the charming beauty with a kind look, and said softly: "Take good care of this child. Your support for the rest of your life will depend on him."
"That's what the Empress said." Princess Yongli of Jinyang smiled with her eyebrows and her pink lips slightly moist. She gently pulled the little guy's hand and said, "Did you hear that? I will count on you in the future, mother."
Already."
Queen Mother Feng stared at her daughter teasing the child, and moved her lower lip, as if she wanted to ask the beauty, who is the father of this child?
But after thinking about it, I still didn’t say it out loud.
Let's wait until Jinyang wants to tell her these things.
Princess Xianning watched this scene quietly, her beautiful face looking thoughtful.
Why do my aunt's children look so much like Luo'er?
Is this...?
The beauty's clear eyes flashed, as bright as stars, and a turbulent wave arose in her heart.
Don't be serious?
It shouldn't be so. Although I used to play around with my husband in the past, he should be very measured. How could he have a dark knot? And he gave birth to a child?
Compared with Princess Xianning's complicated mood, Li Chanyue is much simpler. Under Liu Ye's slender eyebrows, her starry eyes are clearly full of curiosity, looking at the little boy who seems to be acting cute.
.
A feeling of envy welled up in my heart.
It would be great if she could have such a child.
Mr. Xiao Jia said that she and her cousin would be together soon, but at this time there was no movement.
…
…
Prince Wei's Mansion
In a well-decorated and antique flower hall in the backyard, King Wei was also entertaining his uncle Song Jing and said: "My uncle went to the Kuaiji Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Should he know the financial situation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"
Song Jing nodded, unable to conceal his excitement, and said loudly: "In recent years, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been making a lot of money and making a lot of profits. The mineral deposits and imperial estates have produced countless things, especially the booming maritime trade in the south. Listen,
It is said that the Tiren Academy in Jinling earns a lot of profits every year."
The Ministry of Internal Affairs has become a piece of fragrant fat, and the King of Wei is actually relatively well-endowed.
Wei Wang Chen Ran nodded and said: "Since my aunt took charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, she has worked hard and meticulously, and the finances in the house have been booming. In the previous wars, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has sent a lot of money from them, which has made the Han powerful and powerful.
A lot of grain, fodder and military supplies were transported, especially during the Northwest War."
His aunt was not as talented as the famous officials in the court.
Song Jing said: "This time the eldest princess is back from Jinling."
Wei Wang Chen Ran said: "Xianning said last time that he has returned."
After thinking for a while, Wei Wang Chen Ran said softly: "Uncle, there is one more thing that I want to discuss with my uncle."
"What's the matter?" Song Jing asked.
King Chen Ran of Wei looked a little uneasy. He carefully considered his words and said, "The queen intends to marry Yan'er's cousin to Jia Ziyu. What do you think of it, uncle?"
Song Jing: "???"
Did he have a hallucination, and he wanted to be betrothed to Jia Ziyu? If it wasn't his daughter, how could he be betrothed to Jia Ziyu?
King Chen Ran of Wei paused slightly and said in a low voice: "The queen mother said that the two of them are in love, which is the beauty of adults."
After Song Jing heard this, he was silent for a moment and said: "Since the queen has given me the marriage, then just follow what the queen said."
Anyway, now that things have come to an end, we can only let the young man marry his own daughter, which will make Ran'er's position in the East Palace more secure in the future.
When King Wei saw Song Jing agreeing, he was not surprised at all.
Because the palace decree granted marriage, Song Jing obviously had no possibility of refusing.
Song Jing said: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is like a small court, and its responsibilities involve household workers and various departments."
Wei Wang Chen Ran shook his head and said: "Father will not entrust the entire internal affairs office to one person."
In other words, the attempt to use the Ministry of Internal Affairs to strengthen one's own power will never be realized.
King Wei Chen Ran frowned and said: "Uncle, I have been married for two or three years, but I still have nothing to do. If this continues..."
Song Jing hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Highness had been spending less time with Concubine Wei and away from Concubine Wei. Otherwise, it wouldn't be too late to wait."
When King Wei Chen Ran heard this, he nodded, but Qing Juan's face showed a hint of anger as he said, "But there are many rumors in the capital, which are really annoying to hear."
Song Jing thought for a while and said: "Don't pay too much attention to the rumors. Your Highness has recently seen whether he can take concubines. It is for the sake of the emperor's descendants. Taking concubines widely will not be criticized by others."
King Wei Chen Ran nodded and said, "Uncle, this is all we can do now."
It's time to take in more concubines.
In order to maintain his good reputation, this King of Wei was still a little bit reluctant to let go. Now he has been childless. It is obvious that his mentality has collapsed and he can no longer sit still.
…
…
The deceased is like a man who never gives up day and night.
Time passes easily when we are free, and the Double Ninth Festival suddenly comes.
Before you know it, more than ten days have passed. During these days, Jia Heng either accompanied his wife and concubines to have a long talk, or went to Caocui Temple to talk about family affairs with Miao Yu, or had a tryst with Feng Wan at Ao Jing.
I feel so at ease here in the hotel.
Of course, I also went to the Ordnance Supervision several times to guide the craftsmen in the Ordnance Supervision to improve the art of making firecrackers.
This is also a rare occasion when Jia Heng did not deal with official duties and focused on spending time with his family.
In the blink of an eye, the happy day finally arrived for Jia Heng, Baochai and Daiyu to get married according to the decree.
In the 18th year of Chongping, September 9th, the Double Ninth Festival——
At this moment, the entire Ningrong Street was decorated with lights and colorful, and it was full of joy. The maids under the eaves of Ningrong and Rong Mansion had smiling faces on their faces.
At this moment, to outsiders, it was almost as if they were in a trance, traveling to more than half a month ago, and it was clearly a replica of the day before.
Rongguofu, Lixiangyuan
Aunt Xue was wearing a silk and satin dress with a fair and delicate face. She was standing on the eaves of the corridor with a smile on her face.
As for his own child, Xue Datou also had a smile on his face, while Xue Biao was busy not far away, helping the Xue family entertain them.
In the side room, Baochai was dressed in a gorgeous and spacious fiery red wedding dress. Her hair was covered with pearls and pearls, which set off her face as white as snow, which was as white as red.
At this moment, she was like a beautiful peony sitting in front of the dressing table, looking at the beauty wearing a phoenix crown and harem in the diamond-shaped bronze mirror, her peach-cheeked and apricot eyes gradually filled with joy.
However, in a daze, deep in my mind, there are also a few mixed feelings.
Almost four years have passed since the winter of the 14th year of Chongping, when the family went to the capital and met him on the road to Zuo, to the current 18th year of Chongping.
She also put on a wedding dress and married him.
This time, in her capacity as the head wife, the first-ranking Duke of the country appointed her as his wife.
Baochai's forehead was as smooth as jade, and under her slender eyebrows, her moist apricot eyes shone with dew, and she said softly: "Ying'er, go get that crested hairpin, and I'll change it for that one."
That crested hairpin was given to her by him as a token of love.
Although she later learned that others might have similar jewelry.
But that crested hairpin was indeed a piece of thought that was uniquely given to her.
With a smile on her face, Ying'er said, "Girl, the auspicious time has come, it's time for us to get on the sedan chair."
As a maid next to Baochai, she has witnessed almost the entire journey of Baochai's birthright, so she naturally knows how difficult it is for her own girl.
Baochai temporarily suppressed the joy that surged in her heart, and said softly: "Okay, put on the red hijab."
Ying'er said "Hey", then took the red hijab on the side and carefully covered Baochai's head.
At this moment, grandma called out from outside: "The auspicious time has come."
Then, the sound of "cracking" firecrackers rang out, and amidst paper flowers and gunpowder smoke, Baochai, with the support of several nuns, walked out of the corner gate of Lixiangyuan and got into a sedan chair.
The sound of the suona sounded, and soon the Xue family's sedan chair headed towards the main entrance of Ningguo Mansion.
Two streets away from Ningrong Street, Dehuafang and Linzhai——
Daiyu was wearing a pink dress, with lush black silk on her head covered with pearls. She sat in front of the dressing table with a diamond-shaped bronze mirror, and looked at the beautiful face in the mirror. The wedding dress on her body seemed like a blazing ball.
The flames are as gorgeous as clouds and brocade.
Under Daiyu's beautiful eyebrows, her bright eyes were full of joy.
Just the day before yesterday, she had a dream. She dreamed that in another world without Brother Heng, she somehow fell in love with Brother Bao.
Later, her father died of illness and took office in Yangzhou. Although the old lady supported her marriage to her second brother Bao, her second aunt disapproved and obstructed her.
In the end, Brother Bao married Sister Bao, and their wedding was a grand affair and lively.
This is such a messy dream. How could she fall in love with Brother Bao?
At this moment, the girl's heart was filled with the sweetness with Jia Heng and the scenes of blushing.
As for the shared experience with Baoyu back then, it has long faded away with the passage of time.
Zijuan and Xiren stood not far away, staring at the beauty with a face as charming as a flower, and they were sincerely happy and delighted for Daiyu.
Zicuckoo looked at the girl with a smile on her face, looking a little dazed.
Recalling the past, when the girl went to Beijing, she only took a little girl, Xue Yan, all alone. When she was sent to the girl by the old lady, so many years passed in a flash.
The girl's father is now a second-rank official in Beijing, and the girl has found a good home. Although Uncle Heng is a bit more romantic and lecherous, he is really good to the girl.
Extremely caring and considerate.
Under Daiyu's curved willow-leaf slender eyebrows, her bright starry eyes blinked gently, as if the Milky Way was shining brightly, and said: "Put on the red hijab."
At this moment, the beautiful face under the emerald crown of Phoenix Crown and Xia Pei is filled with happiness and sweetness.
After putting on a red hijab embroidered with double happiness, the nun on the eaves of the back porch called out and whispered: "The auspicious time has come, and the bride is getting into the sedan chair."
Then, with the support of two maids, Daiyu headed outside.
At this moment, Sister Feng was dressed in a pink dress and stood under the eaves of the corridor. She had a towering bun and a phoenix hairpin between her temples. Under her eyebrows, her crystal-clear red phoenix eyes were looking at this scene quietly, her eyes filled with emotion.
There is also a bit of envy.
She would never be able to wear this wedding dress again in her life.
Fortunately...
Sister Feng gently stroked her slightly swollen belly. It seemed that her monthly letter had not arrived this month?
Is it true that she is pregnant as her enemy said?
Just wait another two or three months and see if there is a happy pulse.
The beauty was obviously very cautious and decided to wait and see again.
Shenjing, Rongguofu
In a side room of a house not far from Rongqing Hall, facing a diamond-shaped bronze mirror engraved with the phoenix emblem, Baoyu sat there blankly, with a dull expression on his face that looked like a full moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he murmured
Said: "Sister Lin is married."
In fact, even though Daiyu was imprisoned in the Grand View Garden, Baoyu still did not stop admiring and fantasizing about Daiyu.
Time and time again I looked in the distance towards the Grand View Garden, feeling inexplicably sad.
The young man Mingyan looked shocked and asked: "Second Master Bao, what's going on?"
Baoyu suddenly pulled down the psychic jade from his neck, his face full of anger, and then he threw the psychic jade to the ground and said in a clear voice: "I don't want this useless jade, I want to become a monk... become a monk.
Become a monk!"
For a moment, when I raised my head, my face was filled with tears, and my heart felt like a knife.
And just when the commotion was about to start, Baoyu's maid She Yue crossed the threshold with her skirt in hand, ran over quickly, with a look of panic clearly visible on her charming and innocent face, and said: "Second Master,
You're so good, what are you doing with the jade?"
Baoyu frowned and his eyes welled up with tears. His big face that looked like the bright moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival was covered with a layer of jade, and he said in a trembling voice: "Sister Lin, she's gone, she's gone..."
For some reason, when she heard the sound of firecrackers outside, Baoyu felt a heartbreaking pain in her heart, tears bursting from her eyes, and she seemed to be unable to control herself.
The movement here, after being reported by the nun outside Baoyu House, finally attracted the attention of Jia Mu in Rongqing Hall. With the support of several nuns, she led Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing to arrive in a mighty manner.
The house where Baoyu lives.
Mother Jia's face suddenly changed, and she shouted, "My dear Baoyu, what's going on? Why did you lose your life again?"
If it were in the past, before the psychic gem broke into cracks.
At this moment, Mingyan turned around and took the psychic jade over. Her face, which looked like the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, showed an expression of disbelief and said, "Old lady, the jade... the jade is broken."
It can be seen that the psychic gem has been broken into two halves.
In other words, this piece of jade had been beaten repeatedly, but at this moment it finally reached the peak of its endurance and broke into pieces.
It seems that somehow, the severing of the marriage line between Bao and Dai also announced the complete end of the life of this piece of jade.
At this moment, Jia Mu's old and haggard face had a subtle expression. She looked at the jade stone that had broken into two pieces, and then looked at Mrs. Wang aside.
In fact, the last time this piece of psychic jade broke into cracks, Jia Mu had already begun to suspect that this so-called magic and mystery of being born with a jade in his hand was probably a carefully designed thing.
Mrs. Wang's fair face was almost as pale as paper. She couldn't believe it and said, "Old lady, how could this jade break?"
When Baoyu saw the jade shattered, he cried first and then laughed. He clapped his hands and said with a smile: "It's broken well, it's broken well. When Sister Lin came here, I knew that this jade shouldn't be there. Today it's broken. It's broken well."
."
Suddenly after finishing speaking, he burst into laughter maniacally, and two lines of clear tears flowed from his eyes.
He was the childhood sweetheart with Sister Lin, so how could he let Sister Lin marry someone else?
Then, on the face that looked like the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, there was a look that was almost crazy, and he said: "I come and go naked without any worries, I cut my hair, and I go there like a monk. I go away like a monk."
It can be said that as time goes by, the ladies of the Red Mansion can be said to be getting married and moving away, and even those who have not left the palace are still in the Grand View Garden.
Except for She Yue, there was almost no one around Baoyu to talk to.
The former protagonist of Red Mansions, Mr. Bao Erye, has now fallen into disrepair.
But today, with the firecrackers going off and Chai Dai getting married, Bao Yu was undoubtedly completely defeated.
Seeing this scene, Jia's mother finally overcame her suspicion of Mrs. Wang because of her long-term love for Baoyu. She shouted urgently: "My Baoyu, please come quickly, please call the doctor."
For a time, the entire wing was in chaos and chaos, with everyone talking.
