Chapter 1694 Xia Houying: People say that King Wei is as lustful as his life
…
Ningguo Mansion, Shenjing City, Imperial College—
Jia Heng and Xu Guangqi were sitting next to a table and talking. Not far away, a maid in Tsing Yi approached and gently handed over the teacup.
When the steam engine came out, it was truly an epoch-making product.
Xu Guangqi said: "The iron ship that the prince mentioned earlier is also driven by a steam engine?"
Jia Heng nodded and said: "It is more difficult to make this thing. Not only the steam engine but also other manufacturing techniques need to be prepared and matured."
Manufacturing warships can be said to fully reflect a country's comprehensive industrial strength.
Xu Guangqi's resolute and calm face couldn't help but show a look of thinking, and said: "What King Wei means is that it will take a lot of time to build such a warship."
Jia Heng said softly: "There is no rush to supervise the construction of warships. The technology can be verified first. Now we will supervise the construction of railways first. Within ten years, the main north-south railways will be completed."
The so-called ten-year army, a hundred-year navy, and the construction of naval warships will only be built in twenty or thirty years. However, the current Han Dynasty navy is enough to protect maritime trade, so there is no need to urgently update warships.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said in a low voice: "Okay, let's not talk about it for now. The birth of the steam engine today is a groundbreaking event. I would like to toast Mr. Xu."
When Xu Guangqi saw this, a trace of panic appeared in his clear eyes under his thick eyebrows, and he said: "King Wei has really defeated me."
Jia Heng, who had plastic surgery and looked less attractive, praised: "Mr. Xu can afford it."
Xu Guangqi was greatly moved when he heard this.
Jia Heng and Xu Guangqi raised their wine cups and exchanged glasses of wine. Afterwards, they drank together, and it was like a guest and a host having a great time.
Jia Heng returned to Ningguo Mansion surrounded by Jinyi Mansion guards.
Divine Capital City, Ningguo Mansion——
While Jia Heng was talking, he quickly returned to the courtyard, intending to see Chen Xiao. A servant wearing gray cloth approached and said, "Your Majesty, the princess of Qichiyuan invites you to come over."
Jia Heng nodded, stood up, and headed towards the Qichi Garden of the Grand View Garden.
Grand View Garden, Qichi Garden——
In the side room, in the three-legged and six-eared incense burner, you can see wisps of green smoke rising up, exuding a calming aroma that makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Zhen Lan and Zhen Xi had traces of surprise on their faces and said, "Sister, we really caught up with each other."
Just this year, the two of them stayed together for a while and finally got pregnant.
Zhen Xi's delicate and graceful brows and eyes were overflowing with joy, and she said with emotion: "Yes."
While the two were talking, they saw a maid enter the hall and whispered: "Princess, the prince is here."
Zhen Lan's jade face as white as snow was surprised for a moment, and she looked at Zhen Xi beside her with joy in her tone, and said softly: "Sister, the prince is here."
After she became pregnant, Zhen Lan wanted to inform Jia Heng as soon as possible and tell Jia Heng the good news.
But at this moment, the tall young man in python suit walked into the hall, met Zhen Lan's gaze, smiled and said, "Sister Lan, you are making trouble with sister Xi'er."
Zhen Lan got up and went up to welcome him. A bright smile appeared on her clear and beautiful face, and she said: "Your Majesty."
Zhen Xi's aura-like brows and eyes seemed to be filled with joy, and she said: "Your Majesty."
A broad smile appeared on Jia Heng's face and he said, "Sister Xi'er, what is Sister Lan'er calling me for this time?"
Zhen Lan walked closer, reached out and took Jia Heng's arm, a bright smile appeared on her face as white as snow, and said: "Brother Heng, sister Xi'er and I are pregnant."
Jia Heng said: "Is this... true?"
So, are you pregnant at the moment? Should you be pregnant as much as possible?
Jia Heng looked surprised for a moment, and with clear eyes flickering, he asked, "What's going on?"
Zhen Lan said: "My sister and I's monthly letters usually come at this time, but there is obviously no movement these days. In the past months, they came very punctually."
Jia Heng asked: "Did you let the imperial doctor look at it before?"
Under Zhen Lan's slender eyebrows, her beautiful eyes flickered, and her voice was charming and bright as she said, "Not yet."
Zhen Xi sat down at the side at this moment, and there was an aura of joy between her brows and eyes that were as spiritual as a stream.
Jia Heng didn't say much else. He walked closer, took Zhen Lan and Zhen Xi's slender hands, and said with some emotion: "Now we are truly blessed with double happiness."
As the saying goes, Zhen Lan and Zhen Xi were conceived on the same day.
Zhen Lan lowered her green-haired head slightly, hummed softly, her eyes flickered, and said: "Brother Heng, I'm not too young anymore."
In the future, she will also have children under her knees.
Speaking of which, it is now the third year of Qiande, nine years have passed since the fourteenth year of Chongping, and the girl who was slim and graceful at the beginning is already in her early twenties.
As Jia Heng spoke, he gently held Zhen Lan's shoulders and whispered, "You and Xi'er should take a good rest these days."
It seems that this kind of thing has happened many times, and he is already familiar with it.
While talking, Zhen Lan gently took Jia Heng's hand and said, "Your Majesty, my sister said that Your Majesty has not been to the palace to see her for a long time. During this time, the uncle and the second uncle also came from Nan Province.
Come here, I want to see Brother Heng."
At first, when Zhen Qing's son Chen Jie was in power, he appointed Zhen Yingjia as the head of the House of Internal Affairs. However, after Empress Song's son Chen Luo ascended the throne, the Zhen family was also squeezed out of the power system, and Empress Song appointed Song Jing as the head of the House of Internal Affairs.
As for Zhen Shao, he sat on the bench in the capital camp.
Jia Heng said softly: "I have been quite busy recently. I will go over to see you in the next two days. I will also take time to meet your uncle and second uncle."
From the second year of Qiande to the third year of Qiande, not only the rebellion case in Jiangnan was widely involved, but also the affairs in Beijing were also quite heavy.
Now he is almost the de facto master of the big man.
Under Zhen Lan's eyebrows, her crystal clear eyes looked curiously at the powerful man in front of her, and whispered: "What is Brother Heng thinking about, so lost in thought?"
Jia Heng smiled to himself and said, "I'm not thinking about anything. I'm just thinking about things in court."
Under Zhen Lan's emerald eyebrows, her clear eyes flickered, and she said warmly: "Now the Han Dynasty is at peace all over the world, there is no war outside, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the country is prosperous, and it looks like a prosperous and great nation."
Jia Heng waved his hand and said, "Okay, stop singing praises."
Zhen Lan chuckled lightly, her bright eyes as bright as rainbows were as clear as a clear spring, her eyes flickered and she said: "Brother Heng."
Jia Heng turned to look at Zhen Xi aside and said, "Xi'er, during this period of time, it's easy for you to have a baby and raise a baby. I will come over to see you two from time to time."
During this time, women in the backyard became pregnant one after another, and a post-war baby boom broke out.
Well, this statement is a bit grand.
Zhen Xi softly said "Hmm", her pretty and bright face was as rosy as the clouds, and waves of sweetness surged in her heart.
From now on, she will give birth to children for Brother Heng.
Zhen Lan asked: "Your Majesty, what do you think the situation is like with the eldest sister in the palace?"
Jia Heng said: "She is taking Yinyin and Jier with her now, and everything is fine."
Zhen Lan Qi Ruobian bit her pink lips with her pink teeth and whispered: "Eldest sister is alone in the palace."
Jia Heng said: "Then you and sister Xi'er should go over and see her from time to time."
Zhen Lan said "hmm" and said, "It's just that the eldest sister wants Brother Heng to go and see her."
Jia Heng said: "I have often visited your eldest sister before."
Well, Zhen Qing would look for him in no time, indeed he was often seen.
While a few people were talking, they saw Yaruo, surrounded by a group of nannies and maids, approaching, with a smile on her face and said: "Brother Heng, you are here."
Yaruo was pregnant in the autumn of the second year of Qiande. Now it is March of Yangchun, and the fetus is more than six months old. At this moment, her belly is swollen into a ball, and her face is as white as snow, and her face is full of joy and brightness.
Jia Heng said: "Sister Yaruo, come here and let me take a look."
Yaruo said with a hint of reproach in her charming tone, "Brother Heng, come here, why don't you tell me."
Jia Heng nodded, stepped forward, held Ya Ruo's delicate hand, and said, "I'll tell you later that I'll see you."
Yaruo was charming and naive, with a hint of worry in her bright voice, and asked: "Brother Heng, my father is going to send troops to hide in hiding."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Yes, it should be in the near future."
After more than half a year of deliberation, King Mongolia's layout in the Yushu area has been completed, and the Beijing camp has also selected 20,000 soldiers and horses, led by Cao Bianjiao of Shanhaihou, to station in the Yushu area to adapt to the plateau climate.
Ya Ruo gently caressed her bulging belly and looked at Zhen Lan and Zhen Xi who were sitting not far away. On both sides of her face with a hint of plateau red, she smiled softly and said softly: "We will recover the hiding place later."
After that, the father should be able to see his grandson."
Jia Heng smiled, looked at Yaruo, and said, "It's almost that time."
As time passed, the girls in the backyard also lost their youthfulness and became more feminine after experiencing the world.
Yaruo said "hmm", then looked at Zhen Lan and Zhen Xi who were standing aside, and said, "Brother Heng, are Sister Lan and Sister Xi'er also pregnant?"
Jia Heng said: "Well, it's almost the same."
Zhen Lan smiled and said, "Sister Yaruo, we can take good care of the baby together."
Yaruo softly said "Hmm", and bright red clouds floated on both sides of her plump and charming face, with a hint of plateau red.
Jia Heng said: "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. It's already noon. Let's have dinner together."
Zhen Lan said "hmm" and then ordered the maid beside her to have the kitchen prepare the meal.
Zhen Lan said softly: "Brother Heng, father and second uncle, they want to see you over there."
A look of surprise appeared on Jia Heng's face.
Zhen Lan's father is Zhen Xuan, who should have been doing business abroad these years. As for Zhen Shao, because Chen Luo, the son of Queen Song, ascended the throne and became the emperor, he began to be marginalized in Beijing.
However, now that he is in charge, he can use some of the Zhen family members.
Jia Heng didn't say much else and said softly: "I'll go see you in a few days. Let's not talk about this. Let's have dinner first."
In this way, after talking to Zhen Lan for a while, Jia Heng slowly sat down and had lunch.
…
…
Jia Heng then left Qichi Garden and wanted to see Sister Feng.
Sister Feng's child is about to be born. Not only Sister Feng, but also the child born to Baochai and Daiyu is also several months old.
In the house where Ping'er lives——
It is March, when flowers are in full bloom, the fragrance is fragrant, and the spring scenery is bright.
Sister Feng, dressed in loose clothes, with her hair combed into a woman's bun, was holding her daughter Qiao Sister to breastfeed. In the swaddling room not far away, Sister Feng's son had been breastfed before and was being carefully taken care of by Ping'er.
At this moment, a beautiful maid entered the hall, with a look of joy on her face and said: "Grandma, the prince is here."
Hearing this, Sister Feng seemed to have a touch of unspeakable joy on her bright face. Then she looked at Ping'er aside and whispered: "The enemy is finally back."
Ping'er's plump and bright face was also overflowing with joy and sweetness. He followed the sound and saw the tall and heroic young man in python suit walking into the hall.
Jia Heng called: "Sister-in-law Feng."
"Ziyu, why are you here?" Sister Feng said with a smile on her face that was a little sharper than usual.
Jia Heng said in a low voice: "Well, I just came over to see you and the child."
After a while, Jia Heng's expression paused slightly, and he stared at the swaddled baby on the side and said, "Sister-in-law Feng, how are you doing now?"
Under Sister Feng's slender willow eyebrows, in her pair of narrow, clear red phoenix eyes, the cold and shining eyes flickered, and she said: "It's been good these days. Sister Qiao and... both of them are eating very well.
.”
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said, "That's good."
As he said that, he looked at the infant boy, with his sparse eyebrows on his face, and a loving father's love slowly surged in his heart.
Sister Feng turned to look at the infant boy beside her, with a hint of motherly love in her eyes, and said: "When this child grows up, he will be more like you, with both civil and military skills, and he will be able to do a great job.
"
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said, "Then you have to train her well in the future."
At this moment, Sister Feng seemed to say "Hmm" softly, and a beautiful, bright blush appeared on her melon-seed face.
While Jia Heng was talking, he turned to look at his daughter. Her pink face and bright red mouth were slightly pouted, looking more and more cute.
At this moment, as if sensing Jia Heng's gaze, he stretched out his two soft and chubby little hands toward Jia Heng with babbling sounds.
Jia Heng smiled and said softly: "You think it's better for my daughter to see me and give her some kisses."
On Sister Feng's side, the delicate and upright Qiong snorted, as if jokingly, and said: "I haven't seen you for ten days and a half, so it's inevitable that I'm still a little fresh."
Jia Heng, on the other hand, suddenly picked up Qiaojie, who smelled of milk, stared at her pink and plump face, and kissed her.
Sister Qiao's pink and plump face was filled with a smile, and she called softly, her heart already full of joy.
Sister Feng stared at Jia Heng and said softly: "Speaking of which, Ping'er has been around for quite some time, and there is no movement in his stomach."
Hearing this, Jia Heng turned to look at Ping'er who was waiting not far away. As he spoke, he met the soft and watery eyes and whispered: "We can't rush this matter. We can wait for a while."
.”
At this moment, Ping'er said softly "Hmm", and there seemed to be traces of joy lingering between those delicate and picturesque eyebrows.
Sister Feng raised her emerald eyebrows, her cold and shining eyes flickered, and she said warmly: "..."
At this moment, a slim and graceful young maid quickly entered the palace and said, "Prince Wei, Xia Houying from the eldest princess's palace in the outer room asked to see the prince, saying that the princess's palace has important matters."
After hearing this, Jia Heng's face paused slightly, and he quickly walked out of the wing and looked at the figure sitting on the pear wood chair. It was not someone else, but Xia Houying.
Although this former guard of the princess palace was a few years older, his demeanor was even more elegant than before. He said in a low voice: "I have met the prince in my humble position."
Jia Heng stared at Xia Houying and asked, "Commander Xia Hou, why are you here looking for me?"
Xia Houying's cold and heroic face seemed to have a somewhat complicated look, and she said: "Your Majesty, the little princess is pregnant."
When Jia Heng heard this, he felt happy and said, "Chan Yue is pregnant?"
Well, the good news really comes one after another, he is going to be a father again.
Xia Houying said in a clear voice: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess asked the prince to go back."
Jia Heng whispered: "I'll go there right away."
This should be passed by, and we should go and see Chan Yue and Song Yan.
After that, Jia Heng didn't say much else, and the two of them walked side by side towards the vast courtyard, turning to look at Xia Houying beside them.
This former female official in the princess palace now has many mature and charming looks, and on that handsome and bright face, maybe she noticed Jia Heng's gaze, and the sides of her face were inevitably filled with brilliant red clouds.
.
Jia Heng turned his face and looked at Xia Houying who was standing aside. He felt something in his heart and said, "Xia Hou, haven't you met someone you like in these years?"
Eleven years have passed since he first met Xia Houying in the 14th year of Chongping. The beautiful woman with a chivalrous look on her face was already in her early thirties.
Under Xia Houying's slender willow eyebrows, her cold and bright eyes flickered, and she said: "King Wei, I have pledged myself to the eldest princess, and I wish to be the eldest princess.
The house goes through fire and water."
Hearing this, Jia Heng sighed and said, "That's not the case."
What was truly a wonderful youth has been wasted.
Xia Houying's face was bright and beautiful, and she said "hmm" softly, but she didn't know what to say, and a sense of loss inevitably surged in her heart.
People say that King Wei is as lustful as life, but he doesn't come towards her.
Xia Houying thought about this, lowered her eyes, and sighed quietly.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "Xiahou, go to the eldest princess's house first."
It's not that he has never thought about Xia Houying, but he has been a little neglectful in these years of fighting abroad.
Xia Houying responded and said nothing else. She picked up a horse's reins and drove the horse towards the Princess Jinyang's mansion.
