Chapter 1688 Jia Heng: Just wait until he makes a mistake!
Shenjing City, Ningguo Mansion
Chen Xiao and Gu Ruoqing were lying on the bed, holding each other's delicate hands and chatting quietly.
Chen Xiao covered his mouth with a pink handkerchief and was gagging violently. He turned to look at Gu Ruoqing and said softly: "The morning sickness has become more and more severe in the past few days."
Gu Ruoqing's willow-leaf eyebrows were as curved as a crescent moon, and her cold, sparkling eyes said with concern: "I was almost like this some time ago, but I'm much better now."
Chen Xiao took a cup of tea from the maid's hand, and his originally pale face regained some rosiness.
Gu Ruoqing stared at Chen Xiao, who had a strong reaction to morning sickness, and said, "You should also eat more food to replenish qi and blood these two days to replenish qi and blood. It looks like your complexion is not very good."
Chen Xiao said "hmm".
But at this moment, he saw Nan Ling wearing a sky blue dress, her hair combed into a bun, like a red lotus. Immediately, Tingting came from outside, her charming face seemed to be filled with joy.
With a soft smile, she said: "Princess, madam, the prince is here."
After hearing this, Chen Xiaowen looked at Gu Ruoqing with clear eyes and said, "He's finally here."
After Chen Xiao became pregnant, her temperament inevitably became softer and more dependent on others. When she stayed in the back house, she missed Jia Heng more.
After a while, Jia Heng was seen walking from outside. He turned to look at Chen Xiao and Gu Ruoqing and said with a smile: "Ruoqing and Xiaoxiao are all here."
Chen Xiao responded softly and asked curiously: "What's going on? I'm so happy."
Jia Heng said: "Xiaoxiao, the city in the south of the Yangtze River has been recaptured. King Wu, the Hao family and others have been captured. The chaos in the south of the Yangtze River is over."
When Chen Xiao heard this, he felt equally happy and said in a brisk tone, "Then Jiangnan's affairs are completely settled."
As Jia Heng spoke, he couldn't help but sigh slightly, with emotion on his face, and said, "Yes."
He is also completing the last piece of the power puzzle.
Chen Xiao's voice was unavoidable as he said with emotion: "The world is finally at peace for a while."
Jia Heng nodded, turned to look at Gu Ruoqing aside, walked closer, gently took Gu Ruoqing's delicate hand, and asked with concern: "Ruoqing, how are you doing lately?"
Gu Ruoqing's beautiful face smiled lightly and said, "It's been pretty good lately, but there's nothing else going on."
Jia Heng nodded and said: "Ruo Qing, you have to take good care of your baby recently, don't ask about other things for now."
As he said that, he gently reached out and put his arms around Gu Ruoqing's snowy shoulders.
Chen Xiao added: "The Jiangnan case will inevitably involve many people. How do you plan to deal with these people?"
Jia Heng's face was covered with frost, and he said in a cold voice: "Anyone who rebels against the King of Wu or King Lu will be punished with the crime of rebellion, and the three tribes will be exterminated to serve as a warning to others."
Chen Xiao paused slightly and said, "In this way, although the killing was excessive, it was an extraordinary time and an extraordinary act was done."
Jia Heng stretched out his hand and gently pulled Chen Xiao's slender hair, looked at the bright jade face, and said: "Xiaoxiao, during this period, don't worry too much about outside things. It's a good time to have a baby.
So as not to affect the fetus in the belly."
Chen Xiao said "hmm" and gently stretched out his hand to touch his bulging belly. His beautiful and frosty face was stunned, and a sweet warmth surged deep in his heart.
Soon, she will also be a mother.
I don't know why, but I feel both expectant and a little scared at the same time.
Can she be a good mother?
…
…
In the palace garden, Kunning Palace, and the warm pavilion in the wing——
On the warm pavilion next to the window lattice in the dormitory, Empress Song was wearing a dark red palace dress with a waistband. She picked up a blue-covered book in her hand and read it with her eyes lowered, looking attentive.
This is a storybook.
Empress Song also had nothing to do, passing the time. At this moment, the near-noon sunlight shone through the carved window lattice on the beauty's plump face, and cast a warm and soft light on the fragrant and tender skin, which undoubtedly added a bit of holy brilliance to the beauty.
.
"Reporting to the Queen Mother, King Wei is asking for an audience outside the palace." At this time, a female official entered the palace and whispered.
Empress Song put down the book in her hand and lightly opened her pink lips: "Xuan."
After a while, I saw a young man in a python suit walking towards me with a calm expression.
"King Wei, why are you here?" Queen Song looked at the young man in the python suit and asked softly.
Jia Heng said: "Reporting to the Queen Mother, in the south of the Yangtze River, Cai Quan and An Nanhou have recovered Jinling City."
When Empress Song heard this, her face lit up with joy, and she asked in surprise: "The Jinling rebellion has been put down? What do you mean?"
Jia Heng said: "Jiangnan has closed the net, and now there are some loose ends to be dealt with."
Under the beautiful willow-leaf eyebrows, Queen Song looked at Jia Heng with her charming and flowing eyes, as soft as water, and said happily: "This way, peace has come down."
As Chen Luo's mother, she naturally does not want her son's throne to be as secure as Mount Tai.
Jia Heng smiled and said: "In the past two or three years, apart from promoting science, there should be no wars between the DPRK and China, so you don't have to worry about it."
We have fought many battles in the past few years, and it is time for the big man to rest and recuperate for a while.
Empress Song nodded, her beautiful eyes shining softly, and said, "That's good."
Jia Heng gently stroked the beauty's shoulder, held her in his arms and comforted her for a while, then said, "I'm going to Funing Palace."
Queen Song said: "Don't mess around."
Although she was dissatisfied with Concubine Duanrong for worrying about her son's throne, after all, they had been sisters in the boudoir for many years, and Empress Song could not bear it.
In the end, nothing bad happened.
Jia Heng chuckled lightly and said, "Don't worry, I just want them to calm down."
Empress Song bit her pink lips, and under her willow eyebrows, those charming and flowing eyes were as soft as water, and said softly: "Just be sensible."
As Jia Heng said that, he went to the palace where Concubine Duanrong lived. There were bamboo curtains hanging on the four heating pavilions in the palace. The gentle breeze blew, and the rich fragrance of flowers in the courtyard blew towards the heating pavilion, which was refreshing.
At this moment, Concubine Duanrong was conversing with the Eighth Prince Chen Ze. The beauty's cold and elegant face looked haggard because she had been worrying about external affairs these past few days.
"Ze'er, what are you talking about during this time?" Concubine Duanrong asked.
Chen Ze's eyes showed a gloomy look and he said in a low voice: "Mother, I have already inquired about it. Many scholars in the south of the Yangtze River are resisting King Wei. After a while, we should be able to watch the show."
Concubine Duanrong's bright and unexplained jade face seemed to have a look of thought, and her bright eyes showed an inexplicable color, and she said softly: "What on earth do you want to say?"
Chen Zedao: "If the south of the Yangtze River reverses, the imperial court's water transportation will be cut off, not to mention that sea trade tariffs are all in the south. At that time, the imperial court in Shenjing will be cut off from money and food. Then the newly conquered Liaodong and other places, and even the nearly one million soldiers in the north, will be unstable."
, At that time, King Wei couldn’t support it at all.”
After hearing this, Imperial Concubine Duanrong showed a worried look in her charming and flowing eyes, and whispered: "In this case, it is possible."
At this moment, a tall female official in bright clothes entered the palace, with a hint of panic in her eyebrows, and said, "Your Highness, Concubine Rong, Prince Wei is here."
When Concubine Duanrong heard this, she couldn't help but feel moved and said: "Zi Yu?"
Immediately, he looked at Chen Ze who was standing aside and said, "Your brother-in-law is here, come with me to welcome him."
When Chen Ze heard this, his face also changed slightly, and under his sharp eyebrows, a look of worry could not help but appear in his eyes.
Not long after, I saw the young man in python suit walking quickly from outside, looking at the outstanding concubine Duanrong, cupping his hands and saying: "I have seen Concubine Rong, she is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
Concubine Duanrong pursed her pink lips and looked a little unnatural on her face. She just said bad things about the person in front of her and she didn't want this person to come right after.
While Concubine Duanrong was speaking, she looked up and down at the young man in the python suit and asked, "Ziyu, where did you come from?"
Jia Heng did not answer directly, but looked closely at Concubine Duanrong and said, "Tell the empress some good news."
Concubine Duanrong: "???"
What good news?
Could it be that Ziyu wants to change his position to Lizeer?
Of course, this thought just passed by for a moment, and Concubine Duanrong looked at the young man in the python suit with some curiosity.
At this moment, Chen Ze also cast his gaze over, but his face didn't look very good, and he had some bad premonitions.
Jia Heng looked indifferent and said softly: "Madam, the chaos in Jiangnan has been settled."
When Concubine Duanrong heard this, she couldn't help being shocked and said, "How could this happen?"
Didn't Ze'er say that there is a huge momentum over there in the south of the Yangtze River? Even if the rebellion can be suppressed, it shouldn't be done so quickly.
Jia Heng caught the change in the expression on Concubine Duanrong's face, smiled, and asked, "The empress doesn't seem to be happy to see this scene?"
Hearing this, Imperial Concubine Duanrong suddenly woke up. Under her emerald eyebrows, a look of panic appeared in her sparkling beautiful eyes, and she defended herself: "When will I not be happy to see you?"
"
Jia Heng turned to look at Chen Ze who was standing aside, with a strange look in his eyes as well, and said, "His Royal Highness, the Eighth Prince, seems a little disappointed as well."
Chen Ze did not have a title before, or in other words, he did not have time to be canonized. The two emperors passed away one after another, and then Chen Ze ascended the throne and became the emperor.
Chen Ze's expression was gloomy and incomprehensible. Under his sword-shaped eyebrows with a hint of martial aura, his eyes flickered for a moment, and he looked at the young man in the python suit with some resentment in his heart.
Under Jia Heng's sharp eyebrows, his clear eyes flickered, and he said in a cold voice: "You mother and son should stay safe in the harem and don't act recklessly outside."
Chen Ze's two eyebrows that flew diagonally into his temples were raised, his cold and bright eyes flickered, his face as white as jade was as gloomy as iron, and he felt a sense of shame in his heart.
Jia Heng immediately said nothing else, and then, without further delay, turned around and left, planning to go see the millstone again.
After Jia Heng left, the atmosphere in Funing Palace became extremely gloomy.
Concubine Duanrong raised her eyes to look at Chen Ze, who had a gloomy face at the side, and said warmly: "Ze'er, the uprising in Jiangnan has failed."
Compared with the Gao family in Bashu, which prompted the imperial court to send troops from the capital to quell the rebellion, the "rebellion" in Jiangnan was quickly put down by the imperial court without causing much trouble.
Chen Ze's eyes were dark and incomprehensible, and he said angrily: "Mother, concubine, this is a conspiracy designed by King Wei."
Concubine Duanrong sighed quietly and said, "Why don't I know?"
From Jia Heng's expression just now, Concubine Duanrong certainly caught some clues.
Concubine Duanrong said: "Moreover, your brother-in-law has obviously started to target our mother and son. This is a warning."
Although due to Princess Xianning's relationship, Princess Duanrong was not worried about her life when she was ill, but after today's warning, she would definitely be imprisoned.
That... is almost worse than death.
When Chen Ze heard this, his face became a little gloomy, and a look of worry could not help but appear in his eyes.
Concubine Duanrong licked her pink and soft lips, her beautiful eyes were as bright as water, and she whispered: "Please stop your small actions from now on. Wait for the opportunity."
Chen Ze nodded, with traces of wisdom appearing in his eyes, and whispered: "If he wants to usurp our country, he must conquer everyone in the world with his prestige, and if he wants to establish prestige, he must establish civil, political and military skills.
, and doing things means offending others, so just wait, mother, because before long, the whole world will rebel."
Concubine Duanrong said softly "Yes" and said nothing else.
…
…
The palace where Zhen Qing lives——
In the warm pavilion in the back hall, Zhen Qing was wearing a light red high-waisted dress, her lush and smooth hair was combed into a bun, and the sides of her plump and lovely face were covered with bright red clouds.
Ever since Chen Jie abdicated, Zhen Qing had been somewhat bored in the harem. After dinner every day, she would either go to the backyard to read a book or take a walk in the imperial garden.
At this moment, a female official came quickly from outside and said softly: "Your Majesty, King Wei is here."
As soon as he said this, Zhen Qing's face as white as snow asked in a low voice: "Where is he? Please come over quickly."
While he was talking, he saw the young man in python suit walking from outside. His handsome and handsome face was as calm as Xuan Shui.
"You're here." Under Zhen Qing's beautiful eyebrows, she looked at the young man in the python suit with soft eyes, called out softly, and said in a low voice.
Jia Heng chuckled lightly, looked at Zhen Qing, and said softly: "I just came to see you, where is Jie'er."
"He went to Hongwen Hall early in the morning to listen to lectures by bachelors from the Hanlin Academy." Zhen Qing said with soft waves under her beautiful eyebrows.
Jia Heng nodded, came to Zhen Qing's side, gently took Zhen Qing's delicate hand, and said, "Qing'er, let me take a look."
Zhen Qing rolled her eyes at Jia Heng and said warmly: "It's all for an old couple."
But there was a sense of sweetness in the beauty's heart.
Under Jia Heng's thick eyebrows, his cold and bright eyes were slightly soft, and he said softly: "The chaos over at Jinling has been resolved."
Zhen Qing said "ah" and asked, "How do you say it?"
Jia Heng nodded, his face paused slightly, and he whispered: "The King of Wu, the King of Lu, and others have been captured, and the storm in the south of the Yangtze River has calmed down."
Zhen Qing said: "In this way, peace has returned to the world."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Yes, the rest is to progress step by step and steadily."
At least for three to five years, there will be no major civil strife in the Han Dynasty.
From the 14th year of Chongping to the first year of Qiande, in the past eight years, major events happened in the Han Dynasty almost every year. It can be said that one thing happened one after another, and one thing followed another.
Zhen Qing said softly: "Yes, it's time for people to calm down for a while."
As he spoke, his face as white as snow turned as red as drunkenness. He gently pushed away the hand of the young man in the python suit and said, "What have you been doing for most of the day?"
Jia Heng said softly: "Don't I miss you?"
As he said that, he came close to Zhen Qing's ear and pinched the soft and slight earlobe.
Zhen Qing's plump and fragrant body seemed to tremble slightly, she snorted and said in a warm voice: "Don't be here."
Jia Heng said "hmm" and without saying anything else, he gently put his arms around Zhen Qing's delicate body and walked towards the inner room.
The two of them fell on one side of the bed covered with mattresses. Jia Heng turned his eyes to look at that gorgeous face, his eyes flickered for a moment, then he came close to the plump lips, and gently pursed his lips.
There was a hint of joy in him.
Zhen Qing's beautiful and bright face was as bright as the clouds, her hands gently went around Jia Heng's neck, her eyes seemed to be moist with water, and her charm was flowing, as if she was in love with the man in front of her.
I don't know how long it took, but in the side room, the slight gasping sound gradually calmed down, Zhen Qing pressed tightly against the chest of the young man in the python suit, her face was as hot as fire and as bright as the clouds.
"Yesterday, Concubine Rong sent someone over, saying that she wanted to marry Xinxin for her family Ze'er, and asked me to speak on her behalf." Zhen Qing suddenly said.
When Jia Heng heard this, he frowned and said, "Chen Ze wants to marry Xinxin."
He had only met Xinxin some time ago.
It has to be said that the cardamom girl at the beginning has now grown into a graceful young girl, with good skin and a bright future.
Zhen Qing snorted, and the beauty of spring could be seen in the corner of her eyebrows. She opened her mouth slightly, smelling the fragrance slightly, and said: "I don't want to agree to him. If she hadn't contacted Li Zan and others, Jie'er would not have lost her position."
Although the mastermind behind this incident was Jia Heng, who was in close contact with Zhen Qing, how could the beauty turn all her grievances on Jia Heng?
Jia Heng gently hugged Zhen Qing's snowy shoulders, and the softness in her palms overflowed, and said: "I don't think it's appropriate either. The reason why Concubine Duanrong proposed to Shui Xin for her son Chen Ze was simply because she took a fancy to Prince Shuirong of Beijing."
It’s just a military force under control.”
Zhen Qing said: "What do you mean?"
Jia Heng sneered and said: "Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is aimed at Pei Gong."
He knew clearly what Concubine Duanrong and Chen Ze were thinking, they were just dormant for the time being, waiting for the opportunity.
Just wait until he makes a mistake!
Zhen Qing said softly: "Then you don't plan to marry Shui Xin to Chen Ze."
Jia Heng said: "Of course not. Although Xinxin has reached the age of many people, she is still young. It is not too late to wait for another two years."
As his goddaughter, he still has to give him a good choice.
Zhen Qing stared at Jia Heng and said, "You don't have other ideas, do you?"
Jia Heng said: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Zhen Qing snorted and whispered: "I didn't say anything, how could you know that I was talking nonsense?"
Jia Heng was speechless for a moment and did not continue to defend the matter, so as not to make the matter darker.
Zhen Qing said: "I have been missing Lan'er and Xi'er a little during this period. Please ask them to come over in the next two days."
Jia Heng said "hmm".
Then, Jia Heng lingered with Zhen Qing for a while, then put on his clothes and left the palace.
