Chapter 1621: Deep family ties, as close as one family
…
In Ningguo Mansion, in the wing room, the animal head incense cage is filled with wisps of fragrance.
Jia Heng's expression paused slightly, then he turned to Qingwen and said, "Qingwen, why are you so unhappy?"
Qingwen untied Jia Heng's belt, and as she raised her eyes, she pouted and said, "How dare I?"
Jia Heng smiled, turned around, stretched out his hand and pinched his lips slightly, pouting Qingwen's face that could hold the bottle, and said, "What's wrong?"
Qingwen's eyes flashed smartly and she said: "Young Master doesn't know how to cherish your own body now."
Jia Heng said: "It's not like this usually, but I just caught up today."
He doesn't play every night, but once in a while, and he has been recuperating in the past few days.
As he spoke, he looked at Qingwen with warm eyes and said, "Qingwen, you have been with me for a few years, right."
Seven years have passed since Qingwen was sent to serve him by Jia Mu in the fourteenth year of Chongping, and the little girl at that time was almost twenty-nine years old.
Qingwen responded softly, with a hint of trance appearing on her pink and plump face, and said: "It's been six or seven years."
Jia Heng said with emotion: "Yes, time flies so fast."
While speaking, he gently took off his robe and put it on the clothes hanger beside him. Immediately, he entered the bathtub filled with warm water, and saw that in the steaming hot water, petals were floating and sinking with the hot water.
.
Qingwen came close enough and gave Jia Heng a gentle squeeze on her shoulders. She suddenly felt disappointed and said, "Your Majesty, I have been with you for a year or two, and there is no movement in my stomach."
It turned out that when Qingwen saw Baochai pregnant with a child in the backyard, she felt a little moved in her heart.
Jia Heng smiled and said, "Are you anxious too?"
Qingwen lowered her eyebrows and said shyly: "I have seen Fu'er so lively these days, and I also want a child."
Which woman in this backyard is not in a hurry?
"Want a daughter?" Jia Heng turned his head, looked at Qingwen with warm eyes, and joked with a smile.
Qingwen's petite, palm-sized face was covered with a layer of inexplicable shame, and she whispered: "I like boys."
Jia Heng smiled and said with a bit of joking, "Then let's have a boy."
I don’t know what the situation will be like when Qingwen takes care of her children in the future.
Don't be like Aunt Zhao, that's all.
By the way, I haven’t seen Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan for a while.
Qingwen softly said "Hmm" and said shyly: "Son, then it's a deal."
Jia Heng smiled and said nothing else, "Help me take a bath and change clothes."
Qingwen responded softly, and then helped Jia Heng massage his shoulders.
…
…
When the night falls and the fog is hazy, the autumn rain outside the window patters on the blue brick paved stones.
Under the eaves of the entire back house, lanterns were hung one after another. The candles in the lanterns cast a circle of orange light and shadow, passing through the milky white fog. The lights shone in all directions, and the fog seemed to be dyed orange.
Jia Heng left the wing room and walked not far away to the back house.
At this moment, Qin Keqing was coaxing her daughters Jia Fu, Second Sister You, and Third Sister You to stare at the young man in python suit.
Third Sister You stepped forward to greet you, her beautiful eyes were charming, and she whispered: "Your Majesty."
Jia Heng smiled and said, "They are all here."
"Daddy." At this moment, Jia Fu stepped forward quickly, with a sweet smile on his face, and said in a soft and soft voice.
Jia Heng stepped forward quickly, hugged his daughter, smiled and said, "Fu'er, come here and let daddy take a look."
Jia Fu responded softly, stretched out her two soft little hands, and called: "Daddy."
Qin Keqing raised her Cuili slender eyebrows, her sparkling beautiful eyes were full of soft waves, and she said in a low voice: "Husband, how are the children over there?"
Jia Heng said: "It's good. The two children are now fat and white, but they are a bit unreliable."
"That's because my husband doesn't want to accompany the two of them." Qin Keqing's eyebrows were slender and her beautiful eyes were as clear as water. She responded softly and asked: "Husband, let's go to daddy's place tomorrow."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Well, tomorrow I will hold Fu'er in my arms and go over there to have a look."
Qin Keqing responded softly, and her face, as white as snow, glowed with joy.
When the beauty reaches her age, she is extremely wealthy and prosperous, but she pays more attention to her family.
Jia Heng smiled and said: "But Qing, it's getting late now. Let's take a rest earlier."
Qin Keqing's bright eyes were shining brightly under her slender eyebrows, and she said in a trembling voice: "Second sister and third sister, I haven't seen you for a while."
She suspected that it was because he usually spent a lot of effort on others, so when it was her turn, he was far behind.
Then I won’t argue with the second sister and the third sister today.
Wait for the day when your husband will set aside a day for you.
Jia Heng raised his eyebrows with warm eyes. He turned to look at Second Sister You and Third Sister You on the side, and met a pair of shy, timid and fiery eyes.
Even though the second sister has been here for several years, she is still so shy. As for the third sister, well, she is as enthusiastic as ever.
Jia Heng said, got up, and followed Second Sister You and Third Sister You towards the wing of the back house.
"Third sister, why haven't I seen your eldest sister?" Jia Heng asked, seemingly curious.
Third Sister You trimmed her eyebrows, her expression paused slightly, and she said, "Then I'll have someone call the eldest sister over."
With that said, he ordered the accompanying maids to go and greet Youshi.
After a while, Jia Heng followed Second Sister You and Third Sister You to the backyard room and sat down.
But I saw a red candle as thick as a finger, gently lit on the high table, and a cluster of orange candles could be seen swaying, reflecting the longing figures of the people.
Sanjie You looked at the young man in the python suit, smiled softly and said, "Your Majesty, you have worked hard today, haven't you?"
Jia Heng's face looked a little unnatural, and he said in a low voice: "I didn't do much work, just chatting with a few wives and concubines in the backyard."
Under Sister You's Cuili eyebrow shaping, her beautiful eyes with rose-red eyeshadow blinked, she was surprised and said, "Your Majesty, what about today?"
People say that as men get older, they lose energy and need to take good care of themselves and not overindulge.
At this moment, light footsteps came from outside, and then accompanied by the sound of jingling rings, You entered the wing, and her wifely face seemed to be covered with a beautiful and bright charm.
You called out and said: "Second sister, third sister."
Jia Heng looked at the plump beauty and said, "Sister-in-law You is here."
Youshi's gentle and jade-like face seemed to have a rose-red aura on both sides. She responded shyly, then walked closer and helped Jia Heng massage her shoulders.
At this moment, Second Sister You and Third Sister You came closer, helped Jia Heng undress and take off his belt, and waited on him.
The night was falling, and the candlelight on a high lacquered wooden table swayed in the wind. When the three candles swayed in the wind, the wax oil trickled down, and it was a beautiful night, needless to say.

Li Zhai
As the night falls, the lanterns are turned on, the autumn rain falls, pattering on the eaves and tiles, and a crackling sound can be heard.
In the study room, a lamp flickered like a bean.
Li Zan, Grand Scholar of Wuying Palace and Minister of the Ministry of War, returned home and sat in a spacious hall. His resolute and white face seemed to be covered with a dark and inexplicable color.
Li Zan picked up a blue and white porcelain tea cup and took a sip, thinking about the situation in his mind.
King Wei is now actively placing cronies in the court and cultivating party members among local governors. His ambition is obvious.
"You can discuss this matter with Empress Zhen first, if King Wei wants to usurp the throne." Li Zan's bright eyes flickered under his sword-shaped brows, he thought for a moment, and said in a low voice.
At this moment, a servant entered the study, stared at Li Zan, and said, "Master, Master Xu is here."
Li Zan didn't say much else. He stood up slightly and went out to greet him.
At this moment, between the corridors with green paint and black tiles, an old man wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat was seen. His face was old and the ditch was deep. After a while, he walked closer and looked at Li Zan.
"Mr. Li Ge." Xu Lu looked at Li Zan and said in a low voice.
At this moment, the autumn wind and autumn rain kept blowing, and the two met in the middle of the night. It was indeed a time when the country was in turmoil, and they were trying to turn the tide and save the country from collapse.
Li Zan extended his hand to invite you and said in a deep voice: "Xu Zongxian, please come this way."
While talking, Xu Lu was invited, and the two of them entered the study.
Li Zan said loudly: "I invite Mr. Xu to come this time. I think Mr. Xu also knows the reason for coming."
Xu Lu looked worried and said in a low voice: "I am fully aware of King Wei's proposal. He has placed cronies in the court and cultivated party members among the local governors. He is extremely ambitious."
Li Zan was silent for a moment, then said thoughtfully: "King Wei wants to first oversee the government and the public, and plant party members everywhere, and then gradually erode the central power."
"Hide your capabilities, bide your time, and prepare for a rainy day." Xu Lu said coldly.
Neither of them are fools. On the contrary, they are both famous ministers of the generation. Li Zan and Xu Lu can naturally see the intentions behind some of Jia Heng's writings.
Li Zan's eyes were darkened, and he said coldly: "A wolf's ambition is like a traitor's loyalty."
Xu Lu asked: "What good plan does Mr. Li Ge have next?"
Li Zan pondered for a moment and said: "Nowadays, the fundamental reason why King Wei is so unscrupulous in the court is that the family relationship is so deep that the two of them are as close as one family."
When he mentioned "we are as close as one family", Li Zan paused and felt a little helpless.
Rumor has it that King Wei and Queen Zhen of Kunning Palace almost slept and ate together, almost like a couple.
Even the new emperor, the young emperor, was the child of two people, so the royal bloodline was tainted.
Xu Lu had a thoughtful look on his face, but he understood the meaning of Li Zan's words, and said in a deep voice: "If we can arouse Kunning Palace's suspicion of King Wei, we can use the power of Kunning Palace to make King Wei stop.
, maybe it’s also the breaking point.”
Li Zan's old eyes showed a gleam of wisdom, he pondered for a moment, and said: "Yes, by then the two of us will no longer be a piece of metal, and we will have a chance."
The so-called politics is to use force to fight, and to fan the flames and sow discord.
Just as Jia Heng and Chen Xiao speculated, Li Zan and Xu Lu were making a fuss about the relationship between Jia Heng and Zhen Qing.
Xu Lu pondered for a moment and said: "Yuan Fu, with the cunning of King Wei, you and I have met frequently during this period, and I am afraid that we have fallen into the eyes of King Wei's hawks and dogs."
Li Zan raised his sword eyebrows, his eyes flashed aggressively, and said loudly: "The King of Wei is just a suspicion now, without any solid evidence. Besides, he can't stop eating because of choking. The guards of Jinyi Mansion are not all-pervasive. It can be seen that Gao Zhongping was able to escape from Shenjing in the first place.
Jinyi Mansion is careless and lazy."
Xu Lu nodded and whispered: "What Mr. Li Ge said is true, but you and I should proceed with caution."
Li Zan nodded and said: "You can never go wrong with caution."
While the two were talking, they sat down in the study.
"Cao Bianjiao, what do you say?" Xu Lu asked instead.
Li Zan said: "We have sent people to test him, and he regards King Wei as a distinguished minister of the country, and thinks that the great Han Dynasty is the protector of the sky."
Xu Lu frowned and asked, "Did Yuan Fu bring out the recent events in the imperial court to test Cao Bianjiao?"
Li Zan frowned, shook his head and said: "That's not true, but in the eyes of outsiders, since the death of the two previous emperors, King Wei's performance has been remarkable, and there is nothing to criticize."
Xu Lu was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Cao Bianjiao didn't see clearly the face of King Wei's powerful minister, the giant owl."
"If he is a powerful minister and not a usurper, Cao Bianjiao may not take it seriously. However, if King Wei does not rebel for a day, the world will not be able to unite to attack him. Looking at him since he has been in power, it seems that he has not done anything arrogant at all."
Li Zan pondered for a moment and said.
As for the two of them having an affair with Empress Zhen in the palace, such scandals would never come to light.
Xu Lu was silent for a moment and said coldly: "This is the cunning point of King Wei. He is encroaching on the government of the Han Dynasty step by step to confuse the world."
Li Zan looked worried and said, "Yes, King Wei, although he is young, is very scheming. Apart from those scandals, he has not done any treason or transgression."
Xu Lu pondered for a moment, then suddenly his eyes lit up and he said: "Yuanfu, do you want to ask the censor to impeach King Wei on ten major crimes and anger him? In order to encourage him to do evil outside?"
This is also a classic song about civil servants fighting against powerful ministers. Civil servants impeach powerful ministers, and then the powerful ministers break the defense and begin to persecute loyal and good people.
If Jia Heng retaliates against Ke Dao's spokesperson, or even acts irrationally, it will confirm Jia Heng's domineering and arrogant behavior.
At the same time, scholars and civil servants all over the world can also look at Jia Heng with colored glasses and even resent him.
Moreover, the impeached officials can achieve a virtuous reputation just like the "four admonitions in Wuzhong and the seven sons in Yuezhong" who impeached Yan Song and his son, and then Jia Heng was nailed to the pillar of shame.
Li Zan pondered for a moment and said: "You can give it a try. No matter what, telling the world about King Wei's ambition can also alert the loyal and filial people in the world to see his true face."
Xu Lu nodded and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Li Ge, I will have people prepare in the next few days."
Li Zan was silent for a moment, pondered for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Those who are looking for you may suffer revenge from King Wei."
"I am a generation of scholars with great righteousness. Even if there are stormy waves and thousands of people, I will go there." A look of awe appeared on Xu Lu's face, and his eyes were bright.
Li Zan also had a look of determination on his face.

Shenjing City, Ningguo Mansion
The next day, it was just dawn, and the autumn sunlight shone through the window in the wing, sparsely falling on a pair of embroidered shoes.
The stormy night passed and it was a sunny day again.
Jia Heng got up from the bed and turned to look at the three beauties lying on the bed with the curtains hanging down. He felt a little bit happy and inexplicable in his heart.
"嘤咛......"
With a soft hum in her ears, Sanjie You stood up from the side. Under her slender eyebrows, she looked at the young man in the python suit lovingly, her eyes full of infatuated attachment.
Jia Heng turned his head slightly, raised his eyebrows, looked at Sister You with warm eyes, smiled and said, "Are you awake?"
Third Sister You's brows and eyes were full of charm, and her face, which was more delicate than flowers, became more and more beautiful and charming, and she said: "Uncle, I will serve you."
Jia Heng responded softly, then opened a quilt embroidered with hibiscus flowers and put on a python suit. Thinking of yesterday's lingering tenderness, his heart felt a little dazed.
After a while, Youshi also got up from the bed. Under her dark eyebrows, her charming eyes were as full as water, her gentle and jade face was charming, and she said: "Your Majesty, you are awake."
Jia Heng picked up a blue and white porcelain tea cup from the lacquered wood table beside him, lowered his head and took a sip of tea to suppress the sweetness in his mouth.
At this moment, Third Sister You got up and came to a dressing table inlaid with a diamond-shaped bronze mirror. She picked up a comb and started to dress herself in the mirror.
And Youshi also got up from the bed surrounded by curtains. Her soft and white snow-skinned jade face seemed to be covered with a layer of blush, and she said shyly and timidly: "Your Majesty, I will help you wash up."
Jia Heng began to wash up under Youshi's service.
After a while, Jia Heng left the spacious and elegantly decorated wing, came to the flower hall, and started to eat.
And Youshi, Second Sister You, and Third Sister You also got up one after another. After the rain, the three Youshi sisters looked like three lotuses standing side by side.
Youshi is gentle and pleasant, like an orchid in an empty valley.
And Sanjie You is like a delicate rose that can even produce water when pinched.
Under Sister You's slender eyebrows, she looked lovingly at the young man in the python suit, with a look of surprise on her jade face as white as snow.
Jia Heng extended his hand to say hello and said, "Come over and eat together."
While Mrs. You, Second Sister You, and Third Sister You were talking, they came to sit down next to Jia Heng and started eating.
