Everyone was talking and laughing, and not long after, they heard the sound of the bead curtains rustling, and a beauty, surrounded by maids, walked into the brightly lit inner hall.
Seeing the young girls, they were all stunned and dazzled.
The crown is dotted with emerald beads, the necklace hangs slightly, and the face is as beautiful and fragrant as a peony stamen. Under the bright candlelight, the gold hairpin and emerald are dazzling and colorful.
No matter how much I had imagined the scenery and nobleness of Madam Gaoming before, it never had such a strong visual impact.
Moreover, what is interesting is that most of the imperial wives from official families, such as Mrs.
And Keqing is in the prime of life. Wearing such exquisitely embroidered and gorgeous clothes, you can imagine the visual impact on girls such as Tanchun, Baochai, and Xiangyun.
Everyone has a love for beauty, especially women.
Jia Heng's eyes were focused, and his heart was a little touched.
Keqing, who was wearing the imperial makeup, had that noble and gorgeous charm that radiated from her bones, which was indescribably bright and moving, especially the dignified and solemn manners in her gestures, which were completely different from those of a woman from an ordinary family.
At this moment, she can compete with Empress Song.
Youth version of Queen Song?
Well, what on earth was he thinking?
Why did he accidentally think of Empress Song and compare her with Ke Qing?
Jia Heng quickly dismissed the strange thoughts.
Sister Feng was stunned and muttered: "It's really..."
With Sister Feng's eloquence and eloquence, her brain was a little short-circuited for a while.
Baochai turned her face, her apricot eyes were full of color, and her heart was a little trembling.
Second-grade imperial concubine, she is not much older than me...
In this era where a wife is honored by her husband and a mother is honored by her son, it is difficult for people to avoid the idea of "I can have sex with me".
I don't know what I thought of, but I turned around and glanced at the young man with a calm expression and a clear face, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in my heart.
Qin Keqing's beautiful eyes sparkled and she said in surprise: "Husband, are you here?"
Then she couldn't help but feel ashamed, and she opened her lips slightly and explained: "Sister-in-law Feng said that she wanted to try the clothes in advance to see if they fit her."
Jia Heng nodded and said: "You should try it in advance. On the first day of the first lunar month, there will be a banquet for hundreds of officials in the palace, and the queen will also have a banquet for her concubine in the harem. There are still more than ten days before then, so you should try it in advance."
Try on this dress."
Qin Keqing said "hmm" with a shy look on her face.
On the other side, Sister Feng, Second Sister You, and Third Sister You listened to what Jia Heng said about the Queen's banquet with her concubine, their beautiful eyes were shining and their faces were blank, thinking about what a grand occasion it would be.
Jia Heng said: "Sister-in-law Feng, please help Ke Qing to see if the cut of this dress is suitable and the dress is appropriate."
Sister Feng also came to her senses and circled around Qin Keqing. She had a sharp temperament and a bright face with melon seeds. She was still astonished. She touched Qin Keqing's sleeves and said, "The tailors and women in this palace are really skilled in craftsmanship."
One by one, look at the stitching, the stitches are fine, there are several colors, and they don’t look messy at all. This is the royal use of the Tian family."
Baochai, Xiangyun, Tanchun, Second Sister You, and Third Sister You also gathered around to take a closer look, and sighed in admiration.
Jia Heng was sipping tea at the side. Although he was looking at his wife's flourishing appearance, his expression remained calm.
No matter how much you watch and play with it at night, you won’t be in a hurry.
"Sister-in-law, the front and back fit very well." Tanchun was the first to comment and said in a playful voice.
Baochai also nodded and praised: "Sister-in-law has a plump figure. This dress was originally reserved for looseness. This is the dress, but it couldn't be more suitable."
Since Qin Keqing came here, her body has gradually grown longer. Not only the two round bulges in front of her body, but also her waist and hips have begun to become plumper.
"Speaking of having a plump figure, Sister Bao is not bad either." Xiang Yun joked with a smile.
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at Baochai.
It's no different when a man looks at a woman. When a woman looks at a woman, her gaze will stay where it should, and she may even secretly compare it with her own.
For a moment, his eyes looked weird.
Baochai's fair cheeks turned red with embarrassment, especially when the eyes were staring at her, as if they wanted to see if she was plump or not. She looked at Xiangyun in shame and annoyance: "Sister Yun!"
He secretly thought, just say it in private, there are still... people here.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but take a peek at the young man from the corner of my eye, but I saw the young old god was there. He was drinking tea without saying a word, and I couldn't help but feel a little relieved. I just thought about the fact that he was in the city, and secretly thought, maybe he was hiding a traitor in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
?
With this thought, my heart trembled, and my face became even hotter.
Jia Heng just pretended that he didn't hear a few people talking and laughing, but the scene of attention just now flashed back in his mind.
It is indeed the ceiling of the obese world, plump and elegant.
Xiangyun curled his lips, and there was a bit of dismay on Pingguo's round face, and said: "If you don't want to say it, don't say it. Why is Sister Bao so mean? Brother Heng, let's go see the little white rabbit."
Baochai:"……"
As Baochai, who has seen hundreds of such pornographic books in the Yuan Dynasty and has been a female driver for a long time, how could she not have seen the lewd words of those "white rabbits", especially the "fierce" in front of them echoes, for fear of being associated with them
The ability is not rich enough.
Jia Heng's expression remained normal. If leaving at this moment was not embarrassing, he would have wanted to leave with an excuse.
Just at this time, Xiangyun came over, with a sweet smile on his red face: "Brother Heng, let's go see Tutu."
Jia Heng put down the tea cup, looked at Qin Keqing, and said, "You guys talk first, Sister Yun and I will watch the rabbits together."
Wu Jinxiao not only sent over a dozen pairs of rabbits, but also small animals such as deer and golden pheasants. He would personally select some for Keqing to raise.
Qin Keqing smiled gently and said: "Husband, please go and don't forget to come back for dinner later."
In fact, she also wanted to take a look, but considering the inconvenience of wearing it, she had no choice but to do so.
In addition, she still wanted to go with her husband. Just like when she was at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda today, she didn't always have to act like a gentle and virtuous wife.
Jia Heng nodded to Ke Qing and was about to get up and go over with Xiang Yun.
Tan Chun smiled and said, "Brother Heng, I'll go too, and I'll pick out two rabbits for Sister Lin by the way."
Jia Heng said: "As for Sister Lin, it's best to let her make her own choice."
Daiyu's temperament doesn't allow others to make decisions for her.
However, I can't help but think of the painting style of Daiyu feeding the white rabbit with a handful of grass...
If the rabbit dies again, Daiyu will sing "The Burial of the Rabbit" again?
Get rid of all the evil thoughts in your mind.
But I heard Sister Feng smile and say: "Sister Xue, let's go and choose together."
She really doesn't like rabbits. She really wasn't joking just now. She only likes their meat, such as braised rabbit.
Baochai said softly: "Those two sisters-in-law, I went over to take a look."
Later, when she had some free time, she asked him about inviting Brother Heng to be his host.
Several people came to a side room in the front yard and walked into it while chatting and laughing.
The lights are bright, as bright as day.
I saw about a dozen pairs of rabbits eating hay in cages woven from bamboo slats. Their fur was spotless and white, their long ears drooped back, and their eyes were a little red.
Xiangyun said "wow" and rushed over first. He hurriedly squatted down, but he didn't know that such a swift and violent movement suddenly startled the timid rabbit, and the two huddled back.
The grandmother on the side smiled and said: "Miss Yun, please slow down and be careful not to fall."
Xiangyun's face was full of joy. He looked at the white rabbit in the cage and said with a smile: "Can you open the cage and let me touch it?"
Jia Heng asked: "Can you open the cage above?"
"Go back to the uncle, it's okay." The grandma followed her words, bent down, and opened the bamboo cage above.
Xiangyun was so happy to see that he was hunting, so he cautiously stretched out his hand to touch the rabbit. The white rabbit had no way to hide, its ears were bent back, looking frightened and sleepy.
As Xiangyun said this, he picked up the rabbit's fur with his hands. The rabbit didn't seem to be doing anything, Apple's round face showed a look of enjoyment for the first time, and he said with a smile: "Third sister, come here quickly, this is so fun."
She felt that she would be happier here for a few days than she had been for more than ten years.
Tanchun came closer, squatted down, and said softly: "Sister Yun, rabbits are timid, don't scare them."
Xiangyun looked back at Baochai and said with a smile: "Sister Bao, come over and take a look."
The grandma knew what was going on, so she lifted two or three cages one by one and placed them on the table so that several people could enjoy them.
Baochai and Jia Heng were standing side by side not far away. The girl's white cheeks also showed a bit of joy. I don't know if it was because of the rabbit or because of Xiangyun's cuteness.
Jia Heng said: "Sister Xue, don't you want to choose a couple?"
"Hmm." Baochai lowered his eyebrows and responded. He came close enough to sit on the embroidered pier beside him. He held a big white rabbit from the cage, placed it on the table, and gently stroked the rabbit's fur.
The white rabbit has a white beard and a nose like a carrot.
Seeing this "sophisticated" scene, Tan Chun asked curiously: "Sister Bao, have you raised rabbits before?"
Baochai smiled softly, with a calm expression: "I raised them when I was seven or eight years old. It seems that one afternoon in summer, my brother got a pair of rabbits from nowhere. I saw them rare, so I cut them from the yard every day.
I have been feeding grass for more than half a year. After dinner, I read the book to the rabbits, and they actually listened."
Jia Heng looked at the plump face illuminated by the orange light, with a soft expression in the silence, his eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly.
No matter how ruthless it is, it is moving. If it is sentimental, how thrilling would it be?
As for Baochai having raised rabbits before, he actually didn't find it strange, because Baochai was precocious and could understand everything, but he had to pretend not to understand.
"Later, where's your rabbit?" Xiangyun tilted his little head, with hope on his apple-shaped face. He was clearly attracted by the "story meeting" and "confidant body" that Baochai told about.
"Then I suddenly fell ill and died for some reason, and I was sad for a long time." Baochai said in a sad tone, and sighed softly, with regret in her delicate and soft voice, "Cats and dogs are quite spiritual, and they are well-educated.
After a long time, you will become emotionally attached to it. Once life and death are separated, your heart will be filled with sadness."
Hearing this, Xiangyun's bright eyes couldn't help but look sad, and there was a sad look on his face. He obviously felt sympathy for Baochai, and asked: "What did you do with the rabbit in the end?"
Just when Jia Heng wondered if Baochai would say, "Later, my brother cooked a pot of meat, and I ate a big bowl with tears in my eyes. It was so delicious."
Of course, Baochai was Baochai after all, and she did not choose Pipixia. Her crystal apricot eyes showed the color of memories, and she said softly: "Let me bury you."
Jia Heng looked at this scene with a thoughtful look on his face.
Even though Baochai is ruthless and charming, she actually has such a thoughtful and delicate side.
Maybe the truth of this story is that the rabbit did not die of illness, but was eaten by Xue Pan?
Xue Pan shook his big head, smiled, picked up a piece of rabbit meat, "It's so delicious, sister, would you like some?"
And then, it left a psychological shadow on Baochai?
However, after Jing Baochai said this, Jia Heng couldn't help but worry about Daiyu.
If the rabbit was raised to death, he would probably feel sad for a while.
But people always have to grow.
Tan Chun withdrew his absent-minded gaze and said, "Sister Bao, I don't want to have to go through this kind of experience again."
After Baochai finished telling the story, he showed no signs of sadness and said softly: "Sister, I'll just pick this one."
The girl's quiet and calm demeanor fell into Jia Heng's eyes, but he saw something deeper.
He is really smart to the extreme. He is using his own experience to give Tanchun and Xiangyun a precaution in advance.
"Maybe you didn't mean to tell me." Jia Heng thought.
Tanchun said: "Birth, old age, illness and death are the principles of heaven. People live one life, and a hundred years pass by in a hurry, but they still have to live comfortably and happily."
It means that you should feed it if you should, and don’t give up eating because of choking.
Baochai chuckled and said, "That's what the third sister said."
Xiangyun smiled and said, "I also like what Third Sister said."
After all, he is a child, and his joys and sorrows are like the sky in June. Sadness comes and goes as quickly as it comes.
Not long after, several little girls began to play with White Rabbit.
Jia Heng also came closer and took a fancy to a pair of rabbits, and told the nanny to keep them, intending to give them to Ke Qing.
It wasn't until Qin Keqing called someone to call them that they, under the service of their nanny and maid, washed their hands and left the wing.
Walking in the corridor, Baochai said softly to the young man beside him: "Brother Heng, if you have some free time recently, could you come to my house and talk to me? My mother has an older brother who wants to treat Brother Heng as a host."
Jia Heng turned to look at Baochai and said warmly: "Sister, which shop's business has been settled?"
Aunt Xue insisted on asking him this time because there was only one thing, which was to get the thing done last time.
"The cooking has been decided, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs has issued the license. I would also like to thank Brother Heng for running around." Baochai said softly, her eyes narrowing with water.
Jia Heng was calculating the course of the next two days, and in Baochai's calm and expectant eyes, he said in a clear voice: "That's good, I'm afraid it won't work tomorrow, let alone the day after tomorrow."
When Baochai heard this, he was inevitably happy and said softly: "Brother Heng, I don't care when he comes, as long as he can come."
Jia Heng glanced at Baochai and said no more.
Several people returned to the inner hall, finished their meals, and as the night got darker, they took the selected white rabbits and dispersed.
In the wing room, the lights are bright.
On the bed, the couple sat side by side.
Under someone's strong request, Qin Keqing still obeyed the imperial decree.
Qin Keqing's beautiful eyes flickered, and she asked softly: "Husband, to which sisters did you give those pairs of rabbits?"
"Sister Yun, Third Sister, and Sister Xue all sent over a pair. Let Sister Lin and Sister Yingchun come over tomorrow to pick them out." Jia Heng grabbed Ke Qing's slender catkins and said softly.
After all, Jia Heng felt that it was better to let Daiyu choose it herself, otherwise "I know that if others don't choose the rest, they won't give it to me either."
Qin Keqing smiled sweetly and said, "Didn't the third sister say that she wants to raise a pair of children?"
Jia Heng said: "I left a pair for her, and a pair for sister Xichun."
Qin Keqing's face paused slightly, then she smiled softly and said, "That's quite good."
Jia Heng said: "In addition, I picked a pair of energetic ones for you, put them in a cage and put them in the backyard, so that you can have children and raise them."
When Qin Keqing heard this, her heart was filled with surprise. The corners of her mouth raised slightly, and she chuckled: "Husband, why did you choose a couple for me too?"
Jia Heng looked at Qin Keqing, who had a smile as beautiful as a spring flower under the green crown, and said softly: "I see the rabbits are very pleasant. You can enjoy them in your spare time. There are also a few pairs of golden pheasants in the garden. You usually watch them."
Come and relieve your boredom."
In fact, the rabbits couldn't be divided at all, and Keqing picked the rest as much as he wanted, but the fact that he took the initiative had a different meaning.
The couple talked, Ruizhu and Baozhu wiped their feet, and then stepped back out of the side room.
The couple lay leaning on the bed and lowered the curtains. Due to the reflection of the candlelight outside, the shadows inside were clearly visible.
All I could see was a crown of emerald beads and a looming complex headdress.
Qin Keqing lowered her head, her dignified and beautiful face was covered with blush, which extended to her earlobes and neck. Her voice was like a mosquito or a fly, and she said in a trembling voice to the husband behind her: "Husband, don't ruin your royal clothes.
Already..."
Jia Heng whispered: "Don't worry...just stick it out."
Well, Keqing has always been at the mercy of others, as gentle as water.
Qin Keqing's charming eyes were as silky as silk, she snorted and acted as she was told, but after all, she was concerned about the safety of her imperial uniform and became more and more embarrassed.
At this moment, someone's intention turned out to be even darker.
And with a burst of sobbing sounds like resentment, admiration, and weeping, the winter night is long and the bright moon is in the sky.
…
…
The night is shrouded, and the cold wind of the twelfth lunar month is howling.
In a quietly decorated wing of Prince Zhongshun's Mansion, Prince Zhongshun was still lying on the bed, his face much rosier than during the day, and he said to Zhou Changshi beside him: "What did those officials say?"
Zhou Changshi said in a low voice: "My lord, the three censors of Yunnan Province, Guizhou Province, and Jiangxi Province will go to court for impeachment tomorrow. When the memorial is copied to the General Affairs Department tomorrow, the government and the public will be in an uproar, so that Jia Heng's child will not be able to eat.
Let’s go!”
"Okay, okay, you can raise an army for a thousand days, but you can use it for a while! I have been raising these old officers for a year or two, and now they can be used." King Zhongshun sneered and said in a deep voice: "Let's wait for tomorrow.
I took the errand of the Wucheng Army and Horses Division, and this Jia Heng son can’t grow a rabbit’s tail!”
