In a square courtyard with green walls and black tiles, the pines and cypresses are evergreen, and heavy snowflakes and rime can be seen covering the pines and cypresses, like glazed ice crystals.
And in the side room——
Gu Ruoqing and a beauty wearing a veil and a green robe were talking across a chessboard.
"Master, how is it over there in the palace?" Gu Ruoqing asked.
Concubine Wu's eyebrows were slightly solemn, and she said softly: "That person has lost his sight after the explosion in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and I'm afraid he will die soon."
Gu Ruoqing said: "That's my wish."
Concubine Wu said softly: "Chen Yuan was too reckless. He bombed the Ancestral Temple and lost the hearts of the people. No matter how hard he tries in the future, he will not be able to achieve anything."
After all, I have been practicing in the palace for a long time, so I still have some political sensitivity.
Gu Ruoqing was silent for a moment. Under Dai Li's beautiful eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were as bright as water, and she said softly: "Master, the one in the palace has already started to select candidates for the East Palace."
Concubine Wu snorted lightly and said: "It can be foreseen that there will be another chicken feather."
Gu Ruoqing picked up the tea cup and took a sip, her thoughts drifting away for a while.
He has now been named the county king.
Concubine Wu suddenly said quietly: "Are you getting close to Prince Wei?"
Gu Ruoqing: "..."
The tea cup in the beauty's hand is just a light meal, while the clear soup in the tea cup gently ripples.
Concubine Wu said: "Ruo Qing, who are you and your junior sister going to fall into?"
Gu Ruoqing put down the tea cup at this moment, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment, and said: "Master?"
Concubine Wu's eyes showed some concern and she said softly: "If he wasn't too flirtatious and lustful, he would be a good match."
Gu Ruoqing gave a soft "hmm", then looked at Concubine Wu and said, "It's normal for men to be more romantic."
Concubine Wu was silent for a moment.

Grand View Garden, Daoxiang Village
In the evening of a winter night, outside a carved window, there was a bleak cold wind blowing withered branches, making a rustling sound. You could hear the trees with sparse branches and leaves shivering in the cold wind.
The piles of rugged rocks are covered with white snow, and the biting cold wind blows, causing the snow powder to rise and fall on the ground. Under the sunlight, it disperses in tiny streams and silently.
In a side room with windows covered with screens, a fire was blazing and it was as warm as spring.
On a wooden couch covered with soft mattresses, the two of them sat side by side.
Jia Heng sat close and stared at Li Wan who was sitting on the soft couch. He gently took the beauty's delicate hand and said softly: "Wan'er, how are you doing raising your baby at home these days?"
Li Wanfang's heart felt warm and her eyes were filled with joy, and she said softly: "It's pretty good."
Jia Heng asked: "Sister-in-law, when will you give birth?"
There was an inexplicable sense of shame and annoyance in Li Wan's gentle brows and eyes. As he spoke, his beautiful little head with green silk hanging down like a waterfall said softly: "It's almost time."
Because it was earlier in the morning for Li Wan to become pregnant, her due date was earlier than that of other people in the backyard.
Jia Heng stared at Ms. Cao who was sitting beside her and said softly: "Aunt Cao should take more care of my sister-in-law recently."
Mr. Cao nodded, with a smile on his fair-skinned face, and said: "Brother Heng, don't worry."
After saying that, Ms. Cao didn't wait long, got up and greeted Li Wen and Li Qi to leave the wing.
Jia Heng gently stroked Li Wan's shoulder, looked at the bright and round face, and felt a little happy in his heart, saying, "Wan'er, thank you for your hard work."
As he spoke, he looked into the beauty's gentle and watery eyes, and moved closer to the beauty's lips, plundering the gentle and sweet breath. He only felt a milky scent mixed with the scent of orchid and musk.
Drill straight into the nose.
Li Wanqiong's nose straightened, she snorted, her face paused slightly, and she stretched out her hand to gently caress the shoulder of the boy in the python suit. Her gentle and white face seemed to be flushed with shame, and her rosy face was bright and rosy.
fire.
Suddenly, Jia Heng stared at the beauty with shining eyes under the willow eyebrows, and said: "Sister-in-law Wan, I am raising my baby in peace in Daoxiang Village these days. Don't worry about anything else. I asked Sister-in-law Feng to give her some snacks."
Li Wan's gentle brows seemed to be filled with endless affection, and he said softly: "Brother Heng, I will take good care of the baby."
Jia Heng nodded and said: "Sister-in-law, there are no rumors in the house during this time, right?"
Li Wan said: "No, Sister-in-law Feng has been calming down for a while."
Li Wan's jade face, as clear as snow, seemed to have a look of concern, and he asked: "Brother Heng will not lead troops to fight in the future, right?"
Jia Heng nodded and said: "The world is almost at peace. There should be no war."
Li Wan's eyes were filled with concern, and he said, "That's good."
Jia Heng looked at Li Wan with gleaming eyes and asked, "Brother Lan is not young yet. Have you ever taken an exam recently?"
It has been five years since he came to this world, and Jia Lan has gone from being a child to a handsome young man in his prime, starting to take the imperial examination and serve as an official.
Li Wan nodded, with a hint of sadness in his tone, and said, "Brother Lan is already a scholar, but he failed to pass the provincial examination once."
Jia Heng thought for a while and said with relief: "The provincial examination is not easy to take, and it is not a good thing to succeed at a young age if you have accumulated too much time."
Well, he really doesn’t have much confidence in what he said.
Because he was also successful at a young age.
Li Wan softly said "Hmm", raised his gentle and gentle face, and said softly: "Brother Heng, what I'm saying is that usually Brother Heng needs to give him a lot of advice."
Jia Heng smiled, his eyes as warm as the rising sun, and said in a warm voice: "Sister-in-law Wan, just don't worry, I will do it. I treat Brother Lan like my nephew."
Under Li Wan's slender eyebrows, his charming eyes were full of endless touching affection, and he said softly: "Brother Heng."
No matter whether a woman has a second child or not, she is still very concerned about the eldest son she raised with one hand.
Jia Heng gently stroked Li Wan's slender shoulder, with a touch of gentleness on his face, and said softly: "Sister-in-law Wan, let me listen to your child."
Li Wan's beautiful face turned as red as a blush, and he softly said "Hmm". His gentle face seemed to show sweetness and happiness, but he saw the boy in the python suit squatting down and lying on his back.
On the belly, listening to the movement in the lower abdomen.
Li Wan's eyebrows were full of joy and coquettishness, and he said: "I've been playing really hard these days."
Jia Heng joked and said with a smile: "I'm afraid I can't wait to see the world."
Li Wan's face as white as snow suddenly showed two faint blushes, his pink lips were slightly opened, and he said softly: "Brother Heng is joking."
Jia Heng stood up, held Li Wan's slender hand, and asked with concern: "Sister-in-law Wan, are you okay at home during this time?"
Because the fetus in Li Wan's belly is about to give birth, it's not easy to make a fuss. Besides, it's daytime now, so it's not appropriate to announce...
Under Li Wan's beautiful eyebrows, her bright and beautiful eyes were as bright as water, and she said softly: "It's pretty good, everything is going well."
Jia Heng nodded and didn't say anything else.
As Li Wan said this, he suddenly remembered that Mr. Cao had told him to ask someone to help him inquire about Li Wen and Li Qi.
"Brother Heng, the government recently said that the clan government wants to register the concubine and the jade spy of Madam Gaoming." Li Wan said softly with soft eyebrows and eyes.
Jia Heng smiled, looked at Li Wan with interest, and said, "Well, is there such a thing? Wan's sister-in-law also wants to ask for a royal title?"
This can't be done, Li Wan and Miaoyu are not the same, they are the widows of brothers from the same clan, although it is perfect for self-defilement.
Hearing the girl's words, Li Wan's beautiful and gentle face was already as red as drunk. His heart suddenly jumped and he said softly: "Brother Heng has misunderstood. I just want to ask, when will Brother Heng marry Wen?"
Are my sister Er and sister Qi'er related to each other?"
Jia Heng's eyes paused slightly under his sharp eyebrows, and he said softly: "It's just this period of time, maybe it will be arranged together with Xiu Yan's marriage."
Well, it's another three-bedroom house, and in the eyes of interested people in the capital, it's really a debauchery that's hard to describe.
Of course, now that he is already a noble and a high-ranking official, if he continues to be courteous to the virtuous and corporal and keep a low profile, outsiders will only think that he is harboring ulterior motives and plotting evil intentions.
Li Wan nodded and said: "Wen'er and Qier, they are young and have nothing to do. Brother Heng, you should be more considerate."
Hearing this, Jia Heng gently touched Li Wan's shoulders and said softly: "Sister-in-law Wan, don't worry, I will treat them just like my sister-in-law Wan."
Li Wan responded with a yes and nestled his head in Jia Heng's arms, his gentle and lovely face full of happiness and sweet smiles.
Jia Heng stretched out his hand to reach into the lapel of his clothes and gently caressed the plump and soft material. He felt every inch of the softness overflowing between his palms and fingers, making people feel filled with joy.
"Brother Heng..." Li Wan's beautiful jade cheeks, as gentle as water, were blushing like clouds, and he responded softly, with a pair of shining eyes full of shy joy.
Ziyu was really feeling a little uncomfortable at the moment.
Jia Heng didn't say much. He leaned into the beauty's front and ate happily.
Li Wan's delicate body trembled violently, and he felt his mind swaying. He quickly stretched out his hand to touch the young man's shoulders, and raised his beautiful neck. He was as white as jade and flawless.
"Brother Heng." Li Wan suddenly raised his beautiful face, and his twinkling eyes were full of endless love.
Jia Heng lowered his eyes and looked at Li Wan, who had a pretty red face. His heart moved slightly and he asked softly: "What's wrong?"
Li Wan didn't speak at this moment. He just gently grasped the skirt of his clothes with his hands, and untied Jia Heng's belt with his bare hands as dexterous as a butterfly.
After a while, the beauty buried her head, and her face, as gentle as water and as gentle as that of a good family, was covered with a layer of bright rouge.
Jia Heng gently stroked the beauty's hair, which was like a waterfall of blue silk, and a sense of relief appeared on his face.
Li Wan really missed him.
I don’t know how long it took for the beauty’s plump and white face to turn red. She stretched out a white and slender catkin and gently covered her mouth. Her beautiful and bright jade face was already rosy and white.
As bright as fire.
Jia Heng looked at the beauty's pink lips and white dew, and then handed over a handkerchief. Under his sword-shaped eyebrows, with some inexplicable meaning in his eyes, he said warmly: "Sister-in-law, wipe it."
Li Wan snorted lightly, and immediately, the beauty looked up at Jia Heng with charming eyes, opened her mouth, and there was an astonishing softness in her voice: "Brother Heng."
Jia Heng straightened his clothes and said, "Sister-in-law, let me pour you a cup of tea."
It was really hard for Li Wan to have such a big belly.
As he was talking, he came to a lacquered wooden table.
Jia Heng picked up a blue and white porcelain teapot and poured a cup of tea into the cup. He saw tea foam floating up and the tea leaves swirling leisurely, exuding the faintest fragrance of tea.
Handing it over, Li Wan's jade cheeks with greasy white skin were blushing like clouds. With the sound of "gu dong" and "gu dong", the beauty's throat rolled and she swallowed it completely.
Jia Heng said warmly: "Sister-in-law, it's getting late. If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."
Li Wan: "..."
Is this really just throwing it away after using it? I don’t know how to have a normal conversation with her.
Jia Heng smiled. He was keenly aware of the beauty's emotional changes. He reached out and pinched the plump cheeks of the beauty, and said softly: "Since my sister-in-law is reluctant to let go, then I will stay with my sister-in-law for a while longer."
Li Wan said angrily: "Brother Heng, don't talk nonsense."
Why did this person treat her like a child? But when this person was on top of him just now, she was no different from a child.
…
…
In the evening, the winter sun shines on the snow on the trees. The cold wind blows and the trees sway, but you can see powdery snow falling down.
Jia Heng did not continue to be obsessed with Li Wan, but left the room and took a deep breath.
He turned to look at Ms. Cao who was holding the soles of her shoes on the side of the hall, stopped walking, looked at Ms. Cao, and said loudly: "Aunt Cao, my wanky sister-in-law, over there, go and take care of her."
Mrs. Cao quickly put down her sewing, stood up quickly, and said, "Brother Heng, don't worry, I'll be there right away."
Jia Heng nodded and said: "In the past few days, the Zongren Mansion has come to register Madam Gaoming's list of jade spies, and asked sisters Wen'er and Qi'er to go there together."
Hearing this, Ms. Cao was even more overjoyed. She stared at Jia Heng and whispered, "Brother Heng, don't worry."
Jia Heng nodded and immediately said no more.
Then, he left the hall and headed outside. But after walking for a short time, his mind suddenly moved and he saw two little girls, Li Wen and Li Qi, walking slowly in the corridor.
Two little girls, one in a red dress and the other in a blue dress, look like two lotuses in summer, with bright faces in the scene where the rugged mountains and rocks are stacked with snow shadows in the distance.
"Brother Heng." Li Wen and Li Qi saw the boy in the python suit, with a shy and timid look on his two delicate and white faces.
While speaking, the two girls lowered their heads and bowed their heads. But when they raised their eyes, their beautiful, bright eyes were like rippling autumn waves under their green eyebrows.
Jia Heng nodded and whispered: "You two sisters, where are you going to play?"
Li Wen said: "Brother Heng, my sister and I went."
As he spoke, he gently took Li Wen's delicate hand and said softly: "Sister Wen."
When Li Wen heard this, her delicate body trembled slightly, her beautiful head dropped, and her quiet and beautiful face immediately turned red with embarrassment, showing a bright look.
Jia Heng said warmly: "Let's go over there and talk."
Speaking of which, he hadn't spoken to Wenqi's two sisters yet, so he just walked in, which ultimately lost a bit of fun.
Li Qi stared at the boy in the python suit and said softly: "Brother Heng is talking to sister, I will first..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw the boy in the python suit suddenly reached out and took his slender hand, and led him away without any explanation.
Li Qi's beautiful and bright face also showed unspeakable shame.
While talking, several people came to a side room. It was a winter afternoon. Jia Heng took Li Qi's slender hand and sat down.
Under Li Wen's beautiful eyebrows, his bright eyes were filled with endless shame, and he said softly: "Brother Heng, how are you and your cousin lately?"
After the girl finished speaking, she immediately felt something was wrong, and her pink and plump face turned as red as haze.
The girl had also seen the absurd relationship between Jia Heng and Li Wan, and it had a huge impact on the girl's young mind.
Therefore, when the girl suddenly mentioned it now, it was inevitable that she would recall the past.
Jia Heng smiled and said softly: "Don't you know, sister Wen'er?"
As he said that, he pulled Li Wen into his arms and looked down at the shy girl. The eldest of the two sisters had a quiet and delicate look on her face, and her gentle bookish aura flowed out silently.
"Brother Heng... um~" Li Wen whispered, his heart suddenly trembled, and there was a hint of embarrassment in his eyes. It was clearly the young man who brought the black shadow closer and slapped his face with a warm breath, and then
My mind is filled with shame and anger.
Under Li Wen's shaving eyebrows, his bright eyes were as bright as water, and his heart was beating in his chest like a deer bumping into each other, and his limbs were limp and turned into a ball of mud.
Li Qi turned her beautiful head to the side, and her face, which was originally white and rosy, became even hotter than fire.
But he couldn't help but turned his head and secretly looked at the next move of the boy in the python suit. Under his eyebrows, his bright eyes glanced at a corner. Immediately, his delicate body was filled with embarrassment.
At this moment, he saw the young man leaving his sister, turning towards him, and suddenly hugged his shoulders, and immediately, warm breath hit his face.
Li Qi's eyelashes, which were made of fine light and shadow, lowered, her heart trembled, and her petite, bright face suddenly turned red with shame.
Immediately, Jia Heng took Li Qi's slender hand and said warmly: "Qier, in a few days, you will marry me with your sister."
Li Qi lowered her head slightly, her pink and plump face flushed, and said: "Brother Heng."
Jia Heng's eyes were as warm as the rising sun, and he said softly: "Okay, I will come over to see you from time to time in the past few days."
As there are more and more female relatives in the backyard, some golden hairpins cannot be taken into consideration.
After Jia Heng finished speaking, he left the backyard without saying much.
Li Wen and Li Qi both had flushed faces and were as beautiful as peaches. They looked at each other and both lowered their heads in shame.
Li Qi suddenly said: "Sister, Brother Heng will marry us."
Li Wen's eyebrows were lowered, and a slight blush appeared on his face as white as snow. He pursed his slightly pink lips and said, "It should be so."
Obviously, he was also caught in the same feeling just now, and it was difficult to calm down.
