Jia Heng and Chen Xiao sat and talked for a while, without saying much else, they left the study and went to take a bath.
Well, he was the second queen in a row for one day, and now his whole body was filled with the scent of powder, and he felt a little uncomfortable. It would not be appropriate if he didn't wash away the dust all over his body.
While Jia Heng was talking, he took a shower and changed clothes in the side room, put on a brand new python robe, thought about it, and decided to go see Xingzi.
Since returning to Beijing, Emperor Chongping died and the new emperor was assassinated. These events happened almost one after another, leaving no one breathing a sigh of relief.
At this moment, the hall of the back house is still enveloped in a joyful atmosphere, with beautiful pearls, skirts, hairpins and coats.
Qin Keqing was talking with Second Sister You and Third Sister You. Not far away, Fu'er and Miaoyu's daughter Mo'er were clapping their soft little hands and playing games.
The two little girls are pretty, cute and smart. Naturally, they don't know that they have been quietly promoted to the princess and county princess, and they have become the noble daughters of the clan from then on.
Qin Keqing's graceful face, with rose-red aura appearing on both sides of her face, and her charming eyes as bright as water, whispered: "After being promoted to a prince, things have become more complicated."
Third Sister You's beautiful and charming face seemed to be filled with joy, and she said, "In a few days, people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs should come over to talk about the government affairs and rituals."
Youshi's soft and lovely jade face was as bright as the clouds. She licked her slightly pink lips and said softly: "The rules of the Prince's Palace are still a little different."
It is impossible for her to be sealed as Mrs. Gaoming again in this life.
Second Sister You's beautiful eyebrows are as curved as willow leaves, and her charming and bright jade cheeks are as red as the clouds, and her clear and beautiful eyes also show a bit of joy and inexplicable joy.
Her son will also be given a title in the future, so he won't have to worry about being looked down upon by others.
There was a hint of reserve in the smile on You's face, and she said in a low voice: "In the past few days, make good preparations so that you can worship your ancestors."
Third Sister You chuckled and said, "We'll discuss it carefully when the prince comes."
Jia Heng finished bathing and changed into a plain colorful brocade robe. He stared at Qingwen who was waiting on the side and whispered: "Qingwen, how are you doing at home recently?"
Qingwen's willow-leaf eyebrows, which resembled those of Daiyu, relaxed slightly, and her face that originally had a hint of meanness became softer and plumper, and she said: "It's nice for the sisters in the house to play together.
.”
Jia Heng nodded, his eyes flickered under his eyebrow trimming, and he whispered: "That's good."
Qingwen's willow eyebrows were as curved as a crescent moon, her bright eyes were shining brightly, and she said: "Your Majesty, I heard from the maid outside that your Majesty has been promoted to a prince."
Jia Heng smiled and said loudly: "That's right. Didn't you give her the title of Madam before? You will give her a title after you have a son and a half in a few years."
Qingwen's two-petal cherry mouth was slightly pouted, with a look of dismay on her face, and she said softly: "Master, my stomach is not up to par, and I haven't seen any movement until now."
Jia Heng stretched out his hand, rubbed the girl's bangs, smiled and said, "Qingwen, if you gain weight in a year or two, it won't be too late for us to have another child."
Under Qingwen's green eyebrows, her bright eyes looked at Jia Heng with a flash of light. Her graceful and affectionate eyebrows were full of seriousness. She stared at Jia Heng and said, "Master, please don't lie to me again."
Jia Heng smiled hoarsely, scratched the bridge of the girl's nose, and said jokingly: "When did I lie to you?"
Qingwen snorted lightly and said nothing else.
Although he didn't lie to her in the end when he said he would accept her, there were still many twists and turns.
While Jia Heng was talking, he quickly left the bathroom where he was bathing. After thinking about it, he left Ningguo Mansion. When he came to the front hall, he saw a nun saying: "Your Majesty, Miss Yuanyang is here. She said that the old lady is in the West Mansion.
Please come over."
Jia Heng said: "I'll go there right away."
Most of the time Jia Mu asked him to go there because of promotion and ancestor worship.
While talking, he came into the hall, looked at the duck-egg-faced Yuanyang with full eyes, and whispered: "Yuanyang, come here."
Since I came back, I haven't played much with Yuanyang.
When Yuanyang Yingying stood up and raised her head as beautiful as a waterfall, her beautiful eyes sparkled under her willow-leaf slender eyebrows and she said, "Your Majesty."
Jia Heng came closer, and immediately grasped the beauty's slender catkin, feeling soft and smooth, and said softly: "Mandarin duck, long time no see?"
Yuanyang also had some longing in her heart, and with a hint of murmuring in her voice, she called out: "Your Majesty."
Jia Heng walked the slim and quiet beauty towards the Nuan Pavilion on the side, sat down in the hall, and whispered: "Wait a moment, it's not too late to go there."
As he spoke, he hugged the beauty's plump body and felt the delicate fragrance exuding from the lush hair.
Under Yuanyang's shaving eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were as bright as water, flickering slightly, and she said in a trembling voice: "Old lady, don't wait... um~"
But he saw the young man in the python suit coming closer, and suddenly he touched his lips, and he felt the warm breath hitting his face.
Yuanyang's flawless white oval face turned red with shame. Feeling the intimacy of the boy in the python suit, a turbulent wave arose in his calm heart.
Suddenly, Jia Heng's eyes were shining brightly as he looked at Yuanyang, whose features were full of soft and graceful waves. He also felt a sense of pity in his heart and said softly: "Yuanyang, during this period, my innocence has been reduced."
Yuanyang's bright and delicate jade face was as red as the clouds. She pursed her slightly moist pink lips and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the old lady is waiting impatiently in the hall."
Jia Heng nodded, held the beauty's slender catkin, and whispered: "Let's go over and have a look."
Yuanyang's beautiful face and bright jade cheeks were as red as a blush. On the other side, she softly responded to Jia Heng, and without saying much else, she left the hall and headed outside.
The two of them walked quickly along the corridor with green painted railings towards the back house.
Rongguo Mansion, Rongqing Hall
Accompanied by Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang, Jia Mu sat on one side of the Luohan bed covered with soft mattresses, with Aunt Xue, Sister Feng and others sitting below.
Jia Zheng sat down on a pearwood chair next to the small table and patiently sipped the tea. His face was solemn and majestic, already possessing the supreme aura of a third-rank official.
At this moment, a nun came in and reported: "Old lady, second master, the prince is here."
Everyone who was talking and laughing in the hall all turned their heads at this moment and stared behind the screen, only to see the young man in python suit walking quickly towards them.
"Ziyu." Jia Zheng stood up, with a look of joy on his fair and elegant face, and said, "Long time no see."
Jia Heng nodded and said: "Master Zheng."
After saying that, he bowed solemnly to Jia Mu and said in a low voice: "I have seen the old lady."
Aunt Xue's face paused slightly, and she stared at the tall and heroic young man in python suit. There was a hint of joy and brightness on his fair face.
It is said that the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at him, the more she likes him. When Aunt Xue looked at Jia Heng, she felt that she had caught a golden turtle.
This is more than just a golden son-in-law, he can be described as a dragon or a phoenix among men.
Jia Mu smiled, said hello, and said, "Brother Heng is back just in time. Come and sit here."
Jia Heng didn't say much else. He went over and found an embroidered pier and sat down.
At this moment, Mrs. Xing and Aunt Xue both looked at the boy in the python suit with smiles.
Under Sister Feng's slender eyebrows, she looked at the young man with long, narrow, cold red eyes that were full of obsession.
He is now a prince.
If she gives birth to a son and a half daughters in the future, she should be able to become a county king or princess, right?
Mother Jia was old, with a hint of prosperous smile on her kind face, and said warmly: "Brother Heng, what did you say when you were promoted to the title of prince in the palace?"
Jia Heng's eyebrows were raised, his eyes flickered, and he whispered: "The new emperor ascended the throne, and for his contribution to protecting the country, he promoted me to the title of prince."
Jia Mu smiled and said warmly: "This is really the first happy event since the founding of the People's Republic of China."
Jia Heng said: "Yes."
Sister Feng smiled, her beautiful and unprovoked face was bright and charming, her voice was a little charming, and she said: "If it is not a national mourning, I must celebrate it well."
This enemy made him a prince, but she couldn't get any glory from him.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "It's a national funeral now, and Emperor Xianzong will have a funeral someday later. If ancestor worship is acceptable and we celebrate grandly, I'm afraid there will be a lot of criticism."
On Jia Mu's old face with a few grooves, it could be seen that her smile was prosperous and overflowing, and she said: "Brother Heng said the same thing. You and Baoyu have a good talk and discuss the political affairs of the court."
??????55.??????
Jia Heng, on the other side of the room, stared at Jia Zheng, his eyes were a little warm, and he said loudly: "Master Zheng, can you take a step to speak?"
Jia Zheng responded softly, and then left Rongqing Hall with Jia Heng and went to Mengpo Zhai's small study.
Mengpo Zhai, in the small study room——
The summer rain had just stopped, and the windows in the house were bright and clean. Jia Heng and Jia Zheng sat down on the small couch across from each other.
At this moment, the boy offered him a cup of fragrant tea, then bowed and retreated slowly.
Jia Zheng's face was full of concern and he said: "Zi Yu, today in the palace, there are many objections from the ministers. Is there any obstacle to this matter?"
Jia Heng said in a low voice: "The civil servants are clean and honest. Now they regard me as a powerful official and a traitor. They can't wait to get rid of me."
Jia Zheng was elegant, with a look of concern on his clear and jade face, and he said loudly: "How do you plan to treat Ziyu?"
Jia Heng looked unconcerned and said loudly: "Look at it like mosquitoes and flies in your ears and the breeze blowing on your face. Just deal with it normally."
These are all small scenes, but when he actually adds nine tins, goes to the palace with swords and shoes, enters the court without being followed, and praises and worships without praise, then the officials will really regard him as a Han traitor.
Jia Zheng nodded and said loudly: "Emperor Xianzong and Emperor Daxing both passed away unfortunately, and the world is deeply saddened. It is not appropriate for the government to be too turbulent now."
In fact, Jia Zheng still wanted to persuade Jia Heng tactfully, give up when he was good, and retreat bravely.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said loudly: "Yes, the world has been troubled this year, and it is not appropriate for the government to be unstable."
Jia Zheng nodded and said loudly: "In the past year, a lot of things have happened in the court."
Jia Heng put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Master Zheng, how have you been going to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to report on your work these days?"
Jia Zheng raised his head, his elegant and fair face paused for a moment, and he stared at the young man in the python suit, and said: "The official department asked me to serve in the local area for a while, and then return to the capital for re-employment."
Jia Heng asked: "What about the master? Do you have any ideas about exploring the local area?"
Jia Zheng nodded, his eyes as warm as the warm sun in winter, and said: "Whether it is a transfer to another place or an official position in Beijing, everything is fine."
Jia Heng said: "It is feasible to serve as an official in Beijing first and then seek to be released abroad."
Jia Zheng turned to ask: "Zi Yu, next year when the Yuan Dynasty changes, what kind of government affairs will the court carry out?"
Jia Heng said: "Now that the New Deal has been implemented for more than two years, it has achieved remarkable results at the local level. It needs to be promoted in depth to prefectures and counties and carefully sorted out. In addition, Liaodong and other places are new areas for the imperial court. How to immigrate to the border areas and how to incorporate them into the administration
, we must plan carefully, and as for the border areas, Tibet, and the Tartar barbarians, they should also be expelled and annihilated."
Jia Zheng twirled a few strands of beard under his chin with his hands, his face thoughtful.
Jia Heng said: "Paling down Liaodong is the first step, and the subsequent step is to bring Liaodong under its control. This will take a hundred years to do."
Jia Zheng nodded and agreed: "I will not hesitate to work for a hundred years if I don't want to harm future generations."
The two talked for a while, and then the boy from outside came into the study and reminded: "Second Master, the old lady has sent someone over. The food has been prepared over there. When will the master come over?"
Jia Heng turned to look at Jia Zheng and said warmly: "Second Master, it's getting dusk, let's go over and have dinner together."
Jia Zheng responded without saying much else and followed Jia Heng to Rongqing Hall.
Rongguo Mansion, Rongqing Hall
Jia Mu now had silver hair, which was combed meticulously, and she was dressed in a chrysanthemum-patterned dress, which looked quite festive. She sat down on the chair and smiled kindly from time to time under Sister Feng's teasing.
While talking, Jia Heng and Jia Zheng walked hand in hand into the hall.
Mother Jia smiled kindly and said, "I'm just waiting for you two."
Jia Heng didn't say much and sat down with Jia Zheng.
Jia Zheng nodded and suddenly asked: "Where is Baoyu?"
Jia Mu pretended to be angry on her old face: "What kind of hysteria are you having? Have you forgotten, didn't Baoyu go to the Imperial College to study?"
Jia Zheng came to his senses, nodded and said: "Not long ago, the imperial court will issue Enke, and he has to prepare well for the exam."
Jia Mu's kind face was full of anger, and she feigned anger and said: "Baoyu knows how to make progress now, and is no longer the wandering around in the past."
A sweet smile appeared on Sister Feng's gorgeous face. She changed the topic and said: "Old ancestors, my grandson's stomach is growling with hunger right now. Let's eat together first."
Hearing this, Jia Mu smiled and changed the subject, saying in a low voice: "Then let's eat together."
While talking, everyone came to the hall and sat down, then used a pair of bamboo chopsticks to eat the food.

Grand View Garden, Hengwu Garden
Baochai was also in Daiyu, Xiangyun, and Baoqin were sitting beside a dining table made of red date wood. The beauty's plump and pleasant face was as white as snow and as red as drunkenness.
Under Daiyu's smoky eyebrows, her bright starry eyes shone brightly, and she said with a little sadness, "It seems that Brother Heng will not come back for dinner today."
Under Baochai's Cuiyu beautiful eyebrows, her moist apricot eyes were as bright as water, and she whispered: "He has just been knighted, the old lady still needs to ask first."
Xiangyun's charming and bright face was full of smiles, and she said softly: "After all the business outside is finished, Brother Heng will go to Sister Qin's place to talk first."
Under Baoqin Cuiyu's shaving eyebrows, her eyes were as bright as water, and she whispered: "That's what it should be."
Daiyu is clear and beautiful, with a cold and delicate look on her bright jade face, and her white and greasy nose snorted.
There are several of them in a group, but they are no match for one over there. Of course, she is the princess, and they are the concubines and madams.
Baochai nodded her head, which was as beautiful as a waterfall. Under her green-feathered eyebrows, her moist and clear apricot eyes were as soft as water. She smiled and said, "Okay, let's eat first."
While everyone was talking, they picked up pairs of chopsticks and started to use the food, but they had different thoughts, and their hearts flew to Jia Heng.
Grand View Garden, Cicui Temple
At this moment, in the east window wing, because the wind and rain had just stopped, the sky was gloomy and the light was dim. Candles had been lit in the room. The candles were as orange as water, spread out silently, and fluttered on the screen.
Miaoyu was talking to Xing Xiuyan, while the nanny not far away was nursing a child, who was Miaoyu's son.
Miaoyu is sitting on a bed covered with mattresses, covered with a cotton quilt, her forehead is as smooth as jade, and her face has become plumper and softer due to her recent pregnancy and childbirth, and her two slender willow eyebrows are He looked down at his son with gentle and loving eyes.
Miaoyu really loved her child.
Xing Xiuyan turned her pretty head, turned to look at the little guy who was sucking milk, smiled softly, and said, "Look, how delicious the food is."
Under Miaoyu's slender and bright willow eyebrows, her bright eyes were as bright as water, and she said: "Just like his father."
Those verbose ones all look the same, even if they are too big, they are also perverts, huh...
After all, Xing Xiuyan had gone through personnel affairs. After hearing this, her pink face turned red. She also thought of Jia Heng's previous situations, with a hint of anger in her tone, and whispered: "Wonderful What did Sister Yu say?"
It is really different after having children. In the past, how could a noble and self-proclaimed person like Miaoyu be able to say such words?
At this moment, the little maid Susu entered the wing room, her pretty face seemed to have a hint of a prosperous smile, and said: "Girl, it's been rumored outside that the uncle has been promoted to a prince."
Because Caocui'an is located in a remote area, few ordinary people come here. Therefore, Su Su was late to learn about Jia Heng's promotion to the nobility.
Hearing this, Miaoyu looked surprised and said, "Prince? Prince with a different surname?"
Xing Xiuyan's eyebrows were covered with a look of thought, and she said: "Since the founding of the country, there seems to be no prince with a different surname."
Miaoyu's face was slightly startled, she bit her pink lips with her pink teeth, and said softly: "Then he is the first one, but... something doesn't sound right to me."
On the contrary, there are some ministers who seek to usurp the throne as often mentioned in storybooks.
There won't be any big dangers in the future, right?
Thinking of this, Miaoyu frowned slightly and looked at her son with some worry.
It's no wonder that Miaoyu is worried, because this Yanni, in the past growth experience, knows the ups and downs of the official world, the ups and downs, and the truth that it is always cold at high places.
Just as "Hao Ge" said, because I thought the gauze hat was too small, I had to carry the shackles. Yesterday I felt sorry for the ragged coat, but now I think the purple python is too long.
