Chapter 1364 Zhen Qing: It’s just the heartless one who will kill our sister
Shenjing, Grand View Garden, Hengwu Garden——
Today Daiyu did not stay in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, but went to Hengwu Garden with Zijuan and Xiren to talk to Baochai.
Since Daiyu came into the family, the relationship with Baochai has become much closer than before.
Perhaps it was also the result of Jia Heng’s general Chai Debi Yi.
After all, the two of them were serving Jia Heng on the same bed, and they had seen each other's truest appearance.
He stared at Daiyu, whose clothes were slightly thin. Under Baochai's beautiful eyebrows, her moist, almond-shaped eyes contained concern, and she said: "In a few days, it will be late autumn.
"Zi'er, you should wear two more clothes, don't catch a cold."
After saying that, the beauty looked at Zicuckoo on the side, and said in a reproachful tone: "You don't usually take more care of your girl, you should take more care of her body and bones."
Hearing this, Zicuckoo had a look of helplessness on her face and said, "I tried to persuade the girl before, but she wouldn't let me do it."
Daiyu chuckled lightly and said softly: "Sister Bao, don't worry, I'm keeping an eye on you."
Baochai looked gentle and warned: "Although your body and bones have been recuperated in the past two years, you are still born with a weak air. It is impossible to say that you will have children in the past two years, but you must not give birth to a big one."
Something is wrong."
When Daiyu heard this, her cheeks turned red with embarrassment, her blush was charming, and she said softly: "Sister Bao is right."
My heart feels warm.
She has lost her mother since she was a child, and no one has taught her these things. Sister Bao is actually her intimate elder sister here.
As stated in the original work, Daiyu felt that Baochai was a sympathizing person because of a repartee in The West Chamber.
Daiyu's face was as red as clouds, she pursed her slightly moist pink lips, and under her beautiful eyebrows, her pair of bright starry eyes flashed with dew, and she said softly: "He went to Tianjin Weiye
It's been quite a while, and there's still no news, so I don't know how the war is going over there."
This war is indeed a blind spot for Daiyu's knowledge.
Baochai put down an embroidery needle in his hand and said: "I saw that the Di newspaper did not mention any progress. Last time it was said that he led troops to send troops from Tianjin Guard. We don't understand these war matters."
Although Baochai was well versed in the ways of the world, due to his background and vision, he also didn't know much about these military matters.
Daiyu smiled softly and said jokingly: "I have to ask my third sister and Lan'er. These are the only two female Zhuges in our family who are in charge of military affairs."
Baochai nodded and said with a smile: "The two of them usually like to discuss these military and national affairs."
What Yan'er said really doesn't sound like the family of a duke.
Just when Baochai was having different thoughts, an elderly nanny walked in quickly from the outside of the corridor. Her face, which was covered with folds, seemed to be covered with strands of prosperous smile, and she said: "Miss Baochai,
Miss Lin, the empress in the palace has given me silk fabrics. Now, I asked the two girls to send their maids to choose them in the front yard."
Under Baochai's Cuiyu beautiful eyebrows, her crystal clear and moist apricot eyes flashed, and she said, "Did you tell me what the reason for the reward in the palace is?"
Daiyu's smoky eyebrows were like sparse shadows on sycamore leaves, her bright starry eyes flickered, and she asked curiously: "There must be a reason for the reward. I don't know what to say?"
The smile on the mother's face did not diminish at all, and she said happily: "The palace said that it was Uncle Heng who made the contribution in Liaodong."
As soon as these words came out, Baochai and Daiyu looked at each other, both seeing happiness in each other's eyes.
Daiyu smiled and said softly: "Sister Bao, it seems that Brother Heng has won the war again."
Baochai couldn't hide the joy on her face and said in a low voice: "Yes, it's just a big victory. Ying'er, you asked people to pay attention to the newspaper outside."
At this moment, another nanny wearing a silk shirt came from outside. She smiled and said softly: "Miss Lin, there is good news from the front yard, and the imperial edict is issued, saying that Mr. Lin has been admitted to the pavilion."
When Daiyu heard this, she was very surprised and said: "This..."
On Baochai's face as white as snow, the smile froze for a moment, then returned to normal and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Sister Lin."
Uncle Lin was originally a third-rank minister, and after joining the cabinet, he became an important minister in the cabinet. From then on, Sister Lin became the daughter of a famous eunuch.
It's just that her father passed away early, and she didn't have such important officials in the court to rely on.
Daiyu's beautiful face was also filled with joy, her starry eyes were shining brightly, and she said: "My father has been an official abroad for these years and has been wandering in the officialdom. Now he can go to the temple, serve the king, and help govern the world. It can be considered that he has fulfilled his wish."
"
Baochai said with emotion: "Yes, this is the ambition of many literati with lofty ideals. They study for imperial examinations, serve as officials, and govern the world."
As Daiyu spoke, she noticed that Baochai's mood was a little bit wrong, so she changed the topic, blinked her bright starry eyes, and asked: "In the future, when Sister Bao has a child, will she let Congwen or Congwen?"
Where is Wu?"
Hearing this, Baochai chuckled lightly and said, "Follow the literati. In the future, Liaodong will be destroyed, the world will be peaceful, and there will be no more wars. At that time, the literati will definitely be noble."
I hope that my son will be foolish and reckless, and that he will be able to serve as a minister without any disaster. This is probably the deepest wish of all parents for their children.
Daiyu covered her mouth and said with a sweet smile: "Brother Heng has the ability to lead troops, but he can't teach a child anything about it."
Baochai's face as fair as jade was filled with smiles, with a hint of joking, she smiled and said: "You made him laugh, too, you are from a noble Hanlin family.
The official lady is from a scholarly family."
Daiyu said: "I am just an ordinary person. There are many princesses in the backyard. Where is the clan?"
Sure enough, it's back again, right?
Baochai chuckled lightly, feeling a little inexplicably sad.
The three principal wives in the backyard are truly the nobles of heaven, the noble daughters of the clan, and they are indescribably noble.
Daiyu glanced at the thoughtful beauty, and said comfortingly: "Sister is so worried and hiding her heart, how can she not be afraid of fetal motility."
Baochai looked stunned for a moment and said in confusion: "What kind of fetal gas? When did I get it?"
She couldn’t remember when she had the baby? Where did the fetal gas come from?
Daiyu chuckled softly and said softly: "That's what Cuicui'an in the backyard said. Come to think of it, Sister Bao will also have such a day."
Baochai said: "Hun said."
The two sisters chatted and laughed briefly, and the Hengwuyuan was filled with happy air for a while.
Xiren and Zijuan watched this scene quietly, feeling somewhat inexplicably happy.
The ladies in the back house don't have any conflicts, and they, the maids, don't have to worry too much.
If they really plotted against each other and secretly caused trouble, like those women competing for favor in the palace, then the backyard would be scary.
Grand View Garden, Qichi Yard——
It is late autumn, when everything is withered, the autumn wind is chilling, blowing the tiles on the house with a snapping sound, and there is still a little bit of the autumn dew from last night.
In the side room, Zhen Xi was reading a book, while Zhen Lan was playing chess with Tan Chun, who was not far away, across a chess field.
Because they both have decisive and sharp temperaments, and they like military affairs, they usually have similar interests.
At this moment, a nun from outside came into the hall, smiled and said: "Third Miss, Miss Lan, the nun in the front yard said that the palace has given a lot of jewelry, and the madam asked each room to go and pick out the ones they like.
It’s time to choose.”
The Empress of the Song Dynasty rewarded Rong and Ning with things. She knew the preferences of the female family members, so some of the things she gave were exquisite ornaments made by the Shanggong Bureau, including gold and jade.
"It's so good. Why is the palace giving you jewelry?" Tanchun looked a little surprised and said in a low voice.
Zhen Xi was also staring intently at this moment, feeling a little inexplicable.
During this period, the palace was indeed giving out rewards very soon.
"I heard that Uncle Heng won the battle in Liaodong." The grandmother didn't know the specific situation, so she just said vaguely.
Zhen Lan raised her eyebrows, her bright eyes as bright as stars flashed, and said, "Go to the front yard and ask about the situation."
The grandma turned around again to inquire about the situation.
Tan Chunyingli's face showed a melancholy and gloomy look, and she said, "It's been a month or two since Brother Heng went away. It's time for news."
Zhen Lan said softly: "That's not it. He is good at fighting. He will definitely have a good voice within a month or two of going out."
And just as he was talking, he heard a burst of talking and laughing coming from outside, like a string of silver bells ringing, it was Xiangyun's voice.
The three girls, Xiangyun, Baoqin, and Yaruo, were now wearing samurai short-fighting attire. They had bright temperaments and were very capable. They almost jumped into the house and called out, "Sister Lan."
Since Chaidai's wedding, Qichiyuan has become another activity center for the female relatives in the Grand View Garden.
Because all the girls in the backyard knew that Chai and Dai were married, it was not as good as when they were in the boudoir, so unless something happened or they took the initiative to invite them, it was not convenient for them to go there.
"Sister Yun, sister Baoqin is here." Zhen Lan looked at the two chubby girls with a smile on her face and said softly.
She and her younger sister were originally from outside the Zhen Mansion, so there was some innate distance between them and the sisters they had grown up with. Fortunately, they have gradually integrated into them.
Until the future, she will gradually become the center of the sisters in the Jia family. When Brother Heng finally reaches that position, she will... be the mother of the world.
Xiangyun's charming and charming face was covered with sweat, and the glistening sweat kept flowing on her neck, seeming to reflect the figure. Her charming and naive voice was somewhat cute and intelligent, and she said: "Sister Lan, what are you two talking about?
What? So happy?"
Zhen Lan smiled and said softly: "Sister Yun came back just in time. Your brother Heng won the battle in Liaodong. The palace rewarded him with some jewelry. The front yard asked us to go over and pick some."
"Brother Heng? He went out and won another battle?" Xiang Yunfang felt happy, licked her slightly pink lips, and said softly.
Zhen Lan said: "That's what the palace said, but I don't know how big the victory will be."
Xiangyun said softly: "When did Brother Heng come back?"
An indescribable longing welled up deep in my heart.
Obviously, the little chubby girl still remembers the intimacy she had at the time, or it could be said that she was at the age of Huaichun, she had just become obsessed with her lover, and she wished she could stay together every day.
Under Ya Ruoying's angry brows, there was also a look of joy that could not be concealed in her eyes, and she said: "Brother Heng went to Liaodong and won?"
Baoqin sat down now, holding the teapot and pouring herself a cup of tea. She took the time to listen to her cousin's discussion, feeling a little missing in her heart.
Xiangyun, whose face was as red as a red apple, was charming and bright, and asked: "Sister Lan, tell me, how long will Brother Heng continue to fight this war?"
Zhen Lan looked at the three little girls with sweat all over their heads, chuckled, and said, "I'll talk to you later. You three just rode a horse. Wash your face first. Pay close attention to the sweat on this head."
I caught a cold."
With that said, he gave orders to several maids in Qichi Courtyard.
Everyone brought basins of wash water and asked the three little girls to wash their faces, revealing faces that were more charming and brighter than the last.
In the autumn when the flowers are withered, it seems like spring has returned to the earth, full of wonder and beauty.
At this time, Zhen Lan said softly: "This war to destroy the country will take a long time. It will take at least a year and a half. During this year's New Year, Brother Heng will probably not come back."
After saying that, he looked at Tanchun aside and asked with a smile: "What do you think, Third Sister?"
Tanchun said without hesitation: "The army in the Beijing camp has not been mobilized yet. The war will not officially begin until the soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp are mobilized. It is almost winter, and it is not suitable to fight a big war. It will not start until next year."
Although I haven't heard about the specific battle, it should only be a victory in the first battle.
Zhen Lan nodded and said: "What the third sister said is that only the navy is in Liaodong, and it is indeed not a war to destroy the country."
When Xiangyun heard this, his face, which was as gorgeous as a begonia flower, showed a sad look, and said, "Brother Heng won't come back this year?"
She missed him a little.
Well, I don’t want him to serve me either.

Jinyang Princess Mansion——
In the back house, on the second floor attic, the eldest princess of Jinyang wore a vermilion dress embroidered with peonies, with a silk jade belt wrapped around her plump waist. She stood in front of the window, looking at the withered grass and trees in the courtyard, and her heart couldn't help but
Waves of longing for that person surged up.
Some time ago, the news that the eldest princess of Jinyang gave birth to a baby also made Liren quite frightened during this period, and she kept thinking about the impact of this incident on Jia Heng and her relationship with Emperor Chongping.
Lianxue came closer, took a black cloak and put it on the beauty's shoulders, and said softly: "Your Highness, there is news from the Ningguo Mansion that the Duke of Guo has won the battle, and an imperial edict has been issued in the palace, asking Mr. Lin to
Entering the cabinet."
The eldest princess of Jinyang raised her eyebrows, her beautiful eyes sparkled, and she said in surprise: "Lin Ruhai has joined the cabinet?"
What does the imperial brother mean by this? Lin Ruhai is Zi Yu's father-in-law, is he no longer worried about his rising popularity in the court?
Lianxue said softly: "Your Highness, Mr. Lin is in charge of the Director-General of Taxation. Normally, he should join the cabinet as a cabinet minister."
The eldest princess of Jinyang thought for a while and said softly: "Now that sea trade has become the main basis of our tax revenue, we should indeed choose a cabinet minister to predict the affairs of the country."
So, this is a normal personnel transfer and has no other profound meaning.
Lianxue hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Your Highness, over at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Song family has begun to audit the accounts."
The eldest princess of Jinyang was silent for a moment, with a cold expression on her lips: "The account books are all clean, and every transaction is used for state affairs. If he wants to check, just let him check."
Ever since it was revealed that the eldest princess of Jinyang had given birth to a son for Jia Heng, Emperor Chongping had indeed taken some precautions. First of all, Song Guojiu entered the Ministry of Internal Affairs and was in charge of being a doctor in the Kuaiji Division. The day before yesterday, he was promoted to the position of Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The deputy general manager, whose official rank is determined to be the third rank, assists in the management of government affairs.
While they were talking, they saw the maid outside and reported: "Your Highness, Your Highness Xianning and the little princess are back."
The eldest princess of Jinyang heard this and followed the sound.
After a while, they saw Princess Xianning, Princess Qinghe, and Song Yan, one big and two small, two red and one green, crossing the threshold and entering the hall.
Suddenly, the room was filled with splendor, and the beaded hairpin and pink skirt dazzled people's eyes, making it a feast for the eyes.
The eldest princess of Jinyang said with a condescending tone in her reproachful tone: "Xianning, if you don't stay in the palace to raise your baby, why are you walking around at this time?"
Princess Xianning said: "I was so bored in the palace that I wanted to visit my aunt. My aunt has heard that my husband won a great victory in Liaodong."
The eldest princess of Jinyang said softly: "I just heard about it. This has just begun. There will be many wars in the future."
Princess Xianning came forward and sat down. The maid on the side quickly came to serve her and said softly: "Auntie."
Li Chanyue's eyes filled with stars and moons were already as full as water, and she said softly: "Mr. Xiao Jia, did he come back to celebrate the New Year a few years ago?"
Under Princess Xianning's eyebrows, her clear eyes were filled with concern, and she said softly: "Once the war breaks out, it will be difficult for you, sir, to escape. You will probably not come back to celebrate the New Year this year."
"You, I have been thinking about coming back all day long, and I don't know how long it will be." The eldest princess of Jinyang smiled, her eyebrows were as curved as crescent moons, and there was doting in her eyes, and she said, "It's really before I leave.
Let Mr. Jia give you a child."
Chanyue probably wanted to have a child, and her envious eyes were always on Xianning's belly.
When the eldest princess of Jinyang spoke, Li Chanyue's palm-sized face blushed slightly, and her bright eyes were full of joy.
Song Yan's jade face was as white as snow, and a hint of longing gradually appeared in her eyes.
…

Prince Chu's Mansion, Rear House
It was late autumn afternoon, when the sun was gradually setting in the west, and there was already some bone-chilling chill in the air.
Zhen Qing is sitting in the hall at the moment, and not far away is Princess Zhen Xue of Beijing.
At this moment, the two of them were sitting opposite each other, both teasing their children, but one was teasing his son and the other was teasing his daughter.
After the King of Chu and King Beijing left Beijing, Zhen Xue stayed in the Prince of Chu's Mansion for the past few days.
At this moment, Zhen Qing is teasing her daughter Yinyin, and as the two children learn to talk, it also brings a lot of joy to Zhen Qing.
As for Zhen Xue, she was holding a rattle in her hand and teasing a boy.
It's not his own child, but Zhen Qing's child.
Zhen Xue's own child was taken care of by the old concubine of Beijing in the back house. Of course, after Beijing Wang Shuirong talked about it several times, Zhen Xue got along with the child more often.
Looking at the boy with cute and soft cheeks, Zhen Xue's eyes showed doting.
Well, after all, he is also Jia Heng’s child, and he loves the house and the bird.
"Sister, have you heard that the nun from the Cuicui Temple is pregnant with Ziyu's second child?" Zhen Qing said softly, her beautiful eyes widened.
These women are in the back house, and their biggest hobby is gossiping about these things.
Zhen Xue, like Fuhe's snowy skin, seemed to chuckle and said: "There is a rumor in the capital that a gambling house has opened a bet on whether his child will be a boy or a girl."
At the end of the sentence, Zhen Xue's beautiful and bright face turned red with embarrassment, and she also found it a bit interesting.
Others thought that he did not have a boy to inherit the title, but they did not know that his two boys had inherited the title of prince and county king.
Zhen Qing looked quite surprised when she heard this, and asked with a smile: "How do you know that my sister can't go out or step out of the house at home?"
Zhen Xue was a little embarrassed and said softly: "Whatever is said outside will inevitably spread to the backyard."
Zhen Qing smiled softly, her beautiful eyes suddenly sparkling and as moist as water, and she said softly: "Sister, you really pay attention to him all the time."
In fact, this is similar to people in later generations searching themselves intensively, and then getting some nutrients to please themselves, and Zhen Xue just regards Jia Heng as her man.
Zhen Xue said softly: "My sister still talks about me, so why not? I won't leave him without saying a word."
Zhen Qing's fair-skinned face looked disappointed, and she seemed a little annoyed and said, "It's just the heartless one who forgot about us sisters."
Thinking back to the time when that bastard was so obsessed with me, now he seems to be completely indifferent.
Do you really like the new and hate the old? Are you tired of it?
Zhen Qing said softly: "We are also getting old and losing our lust, but the little girls in his backyard keep coming."
Zhen Xue licked her slightly pink lips and said softly: "Sister, Zi Yu is not that ruthless."
During this period of time, when she looked at herself in the mirror, she felt that her time had passed, her youth had withered, and she was no longer as fresh as Lan'er and Xi'er.
"However, these two children are our sisters' support." Zhen Qing turned her phoenix eyes under her beautiful eyebrows to the two children who were playing and said softly.
As we get older, it is actually the children who ultimately maintain relationships.
After all, men always like eighteen-year-old girls.
No girl is always eighteen, but there are always eighteen-year-old girls.
Just when the Zhen sisters were feeling incomprehensible, a nanny from outside quickly entered the hall and said: "Princess, there is news from outside that Duke Wei and the prince won the battle in Gaizhou Guard."
Because the King of Chu escorted the ordnance to the front line to support the war, Princess Zhen Qing of Chu sent people to guard the Yamen of the Ministry of War to inquire about the news. She was also concerned about "her own men", and it was not easy for outsiders to make irresponsible remarks.
When Zhen Qing heard this, her face was filled with joy. She turned to look at Zhen Xue and said, "Sister, he... they won the battle."
Zhen Xue's jade cheeks, whose skin was as good as snow, were blushing like clouds, and she whispered: "It seems that I won the battle?"
What are sisters talking about? What do they mean?
Why is there such a thrilling feeling?
Thoughts appeared in Zhen Qingfeng's eyes, and she chuckled: "This should be the first victory in the battle, and there should be more later. The prince followed this time and helped with the military supplies, which should also have credit."
Zhen Xue said softly: "That's what my sister said."
My sister really never forgets about seizing the legitimate son.
