The afternoon sun shines in through the evening window, and the golden hooks shining on the curtains reflect the crystal light. The two people sitting hugging each other, their ears and temples rubbing together, are inseparable, and there is almost no barrier between them.
Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at the hibiscus jade-faced beauty who seemed to be lying softly in his arms, and she felt a little inexplicable in her heart.
As the saying goes, love develops over time. The emotions between people are created by getting along. Even if a cat or dog has been together for a long time, they will still have some feelings.
At this moment, Zhen Qing's lush hair on her temples gently swept across Jia Heng's face. Jia Heng held a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat between her temples, and asked: "Zhen Qing, how old are you?"
Zhen Qing's face was rosy at this moment, her phoenix eyes were slightly opened, and she asked with shame and anger: "Why are you asking me this? Do you think I'm old, you bastard?"
It's funny to say that although the two often get tired of being together, Jia Heng has never asked about Zhen Qing's other circumstances, or in other words, he doesn't really care.
Jia Heng gently pushed Zhen Qing's hair behind her ears, gently caressed her flaming face, and whispered: "The princess is young and beautiful, how about when she is gorgeous?
Will he grow old?"
Zhen Qing felt the waves of caress coming from her cheeks, and a flash of uneasiness flashed through her heart. It seemed that this was the first time that the young man in front of her said that she had a good color. Under her beautiful eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were as bright as water, and she coldly snorted: "
I am twenty-four years old, so I am a few years older than you."
At this time, women were getting married relatively early.
Zhen Xue sat at the bead curtain and glanced at the two of them secretly, feeling uneasy. Why were these two people still chatting?
Jia Heng said softly: "Zhen Qing, being a queen is actually very tiring. There are so many things in the Sixth Palace. Even though the ceremony is just a moment of glory, it may not be as comfortable and happy as the princess is now."
Zhen Qing: "..."
Jia Ziyu, are you overconfident? Although you are not bad at all...but you can't give me such golden words and life and death.
"Then why are you working so hard? Why don't you marry a beautiful wife and become a rich man? Why did you come to Yangzhou non-stop to rectify the salt business not long after you returned from Henan to rectify the salt industry?
Not long after, he was assassinated by Donglu. What was this for? Isn’t it for fame and wealth? For glory and wealth? To stand above others? Do you still have the nerve to talk about me?" Zhen Qing glanced at Jia Heng coldly,
He said softly: "Jia Ziyu, there is no difference between you and me. You and I are the same kind of people, ambitious people."
She had already seen that this man was obsessed with power. He and she were a match made in heaven. Thinking of this, Zhen Qingfang's heart skipped a beat, and she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
Jia Heng said coldly: "How could I be like you? I went through life and death and worked hard just so that the people I care about would not be harmed. In order to repay the Lord for his kindness, you only do it for yourself. You plotted against your sister.
You have dragged the Zhen family into a dead end, and the money you have given away from the Zhen family over the years to bribe the generals in the capital, the military attaches in the local capital, the chamberlains in the palace, and even the King of Chu... are just your bargaining chips."
This was a conversation that touched the soul. Every sentence was penetrating, making Zhen Qing gnash her teeth and stare in anger.
Zhen Qing's beautiful face was dizzy, like flowers and trees piled with snow, her heart was slightly shaken, she looked blankly at the young man opposite, only to hear Jia Heng mention the King of Chu again, biting Jia Heng's neck angrily, like a tigress holding a cub in her mouth
, without using any force, he trembled slightly and said: "You damn bastard, you have to mention...that person."
Jia Heng's heart skipped a beat and he could hardly control himself.
Who is this Zhen Qing? Well, maybe it was just a slip of the tongue.
"The bribery you just mentioned, I tell you, I have never done it before." Zhen Qing said angrily.
These are all taboo things. Even if she did it, she couldn't admit it. This person would stab her father in the back.
Zhen Xue, who was listening to the conversation between the two, frowned and thought deeply that since her sister became a princess, she has become more and more horny in recent years. It would be great if Zi Yu could teach her.
Jia Heng thought for a while and said softly: "Just do it and don't admit it."
As he spoke, he gently stroked Zhen Qing's shoulder and asked: "Seriously, as far as I know, your second uncle Zhen Shao and your fourth uncle Zhen Zhu are both generals in the Jiangnan camp. If you can cooperate with me in organizing
The Jiangnan camp will use boats and naval forces to clean up the pirates along the coast of Jiangnan Province. Even if the court investigates the crime in the future, the palace will give a lighter sentence."
In fact, Zhen Qing wanted to use him, so why didn't he want to use Zhen Qing?
Zhen Yingjia was a favorite during the Longzhi period, and his younger brother Zhen Shao was one of the six guards of the Jiangnan Camp. He was the commander of the Feixiong Guards, with an official rank ranging from a second-grade military attache, commanding tens of thousands of troops, and could be used as a springboard to contact the Jiangnan Camp.
The fourth uncle, Zhen Zhu, was a member of the Zhenhai Guards, a general, and co-manager of a naval force.
Of course, it is certain that the Zhen family will be raided. It can even be said that the Zhen family is the beginning of the emperor's rectification of the Jiangnan officialdom. Without the Zhen family, there would be no rectification of the Jiangnan officialdom. But before that, the Zhen family must be stabilized first.
When Zhen Qing heard this, her beautiful face shone brightly, and her heart was filled with joy. Her glossy rose lips pursed, and under her beautiful eyebrows, her clear eyes sparkled at the young man and asked, "Are you willing to help?"
Are you hitting me?"
Jia Heng took the handkerchief, gently wiped the beads of sweat on Zhen Qing's cheek, looked into her rosy eyes, and said softly: "It's so hard for you even in the hot weather."
Zhen Qing: "..."
Under the beautiful eyebrows, her beautiful eyes looked at the young man with anger. At some point, her voice was slightly soft and greasy, and she said: "My second uncle and fourth uncle are both generals in the Jiangnan camp. Can they be transferred to the Beijing camp?"
?”
"You are not transferring to the capital camp, but you are helping me reorganize the troops and horses of the Jiangnan camp and rebuild the navy. Doesn't your fourth uncle have a navy under his command?" Jia Heng said softly.
In addition to setting up guards in various prefectures in Jiangnan Province, Chen Han also set up troops in the Jiangnan camp. There were six battalions of guards. The commander of the soldiers was the commander of the guards. They were used to defend the southern capital. However, the battle formations had been sparse over the years and were difficult to use.
His move further stripped away the connection between the Jiangnan and Jiangbei camps and the Jiangnan officialdom.
In other words, whether the emperor was rectifying the officialdom in Jiangnan or promoting new policies in the future, if there was resistance, at least the two camps would still listen to the court's call.
Before leaving Beijing, the emperor made a special statement, but he also said that he did not need to force it, or that he did not expect him to do so many things in the south. He would first sort out the salt affairs, and wait until the north has a great victory in the future, and then he will organize the south.
Soldiers, it's not too late.
Zhen Qing's heart was overjoyed, her eyes flashed, and her eyes lit up. If she had made great contributions or was appointed by him, in the future, even if her father was settling accounts, he would be more considerate and would not drive out the Zhen family, not to mention, this person's ordinary life.
Lu Ce, she has also seen that the navy is also very useful. Although it cannot go to the capital camp, the navy is safer.
I was moved, but I looked at Jia Heng angrily and said, "You, I begged you just now, but you didn't say anything."
Jia Heng said: "I didn't tell you just now, it's just that I don't like that kind of transaction."
Zhen Qing: "..."
Fang's heart was slightly shaken, and she looked at the young man's face with clear eyes. His beautiful face was slightly stagnant, and he was silent for a moment. He didn't know what it was like in his heart.
But after a while, I couldn't stop cursing in my heart. This bastard not only stole love and beauty, but also wanted to steal her heart. She wouldn't be fooled.
It wasn't until she felt comfortable serving him that she started thinking of ways to help him.
Jia Heng said: "Zhen Qing, no matter whether you are the king of Chu in the future or not, state affairs should take precedence over family affairs, and you cannot abolish public affairs for personal reasons."
Zhen Qing snorted coldly and said in a cold voice: "It's high-sounding."
As the beauty spoke, she rested her head on Jia Heng's shoulder. She felt a sense of loss for some unknown reason.
She is not doing it all for herself. When she becomes queen in the future, she will also make good use of this person to quell the captives and govern the country.
After a while, Jia Heng said in his ear: "Okay, later, you can also watch the wind for your sister."
Zhen Qing frowned, had to stand up, took a pink handkerchief and wiped it, dragging her limp body, she looked at Zhen Xue with slightly moist phoenix eyes, and said softly: "Sister,
Go over and have a chat with Ziyu."
Zhen Xue's cheeks were red and she didn't want to go there, but the embroidered shoes under her skirt seemed to be out of control and she entered the wing through the bead curtain.
Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at the beauty in a sky blue palace dress, pulled Zhen Xue over, sat in his arms, and asked softly: "Xue'er, are you feeling better today?"
In fact, Zhen Xue was not like that last time, but she was too timid and worried that lingering for too long would arouse suspicion.
Zhen Xuegao turned her head to the side and said shyly: "Zi Yu, I'm fine, so don't you. Don't worry about it for too long, it's too dangerous."
If people saw her, she wouldn't have to live.
Jia Heng gently hugged Zhen Xue, leaned close to the shining earrings, and whispered softly: "Then it depends on what Xue'er can do."
Zhen Xue: "..."
There were ripples in the beauty's heart, and there was a hint of anger between her gentle brows, and she said, "Ziyu, you have been led astray by your sister."
Zhen Qing: "???"
Who is leading whom?
Jia Heng hugged Zhen Xue from the front, gently picked up Zhen Xue's slender hand, lowered his eyes at the ring, gazed at the morning glow and clouds, the gorgeous beauty, and said softly: "Xue'er, I've been wearing this ring recently.
Wearing this ring?”
Zhen Xue's face turned red, she said "Hmm" and said in a slightly shy voice: "I looked at it and it looked pretty. Xinxin even asked me where I bought it from."
Jia Heng smiled and said, "What did you say? It was a gift from her godfather?"
"You..." Zhen Xuefang was ashamed and angrily said, "You can't be more serious."
How could Xinxin know about this? He was a godfather, not a biological father.
Jia Heng looked at the rosy beauty and said seriously: "Your sister, you should always try to persuade her, she is too paranoid."
Anyway, it is just to sow discord between sisters and stir up trouble.
Zhen Xue's face was blushing, and for some reason, her voice was trembling, and she said softly: "Sister, it has not been easy for her these years. After the King of Chu opened his palace, everything was very difficult. There were many rules in the Tian family, and my sister suffered a lot from the wives.
Bullying, I thought, maybe it was for this reason that I only wanted to assist the King of Chu."
Zhen Qing was picking up the tea cup and took a sip. Hearing this, she glanced at Jia Heng who was fiddling around, and a cold snort sounded from her nose as straight as a jade beam.
What did my sister say to her? Did he ever understand her difficulties?
Jia Heng said softly: "Princess Chu is also the prince's concubine, so she won't be bullied. If it's not easy, it's not easy for Xue'er. She has been gossiped all these years, and there is a mother-in-law in the palace who still has to obey the rules."
Zhen Xue sighed quietly and said in a low voice: "My mother-in-law resented me, and I can understand that it will be a big problem for the Prince of Beijing County to have an heir in the future."
Jia Heng's eyes flashed, he hugged her face to face, and said: "It's a problem. If you adopt someone from the same clan, you will end up taking advantage of outsiders."
Zhen Xue's watery eyes were full of concern, and she whispered: "Zi Yu, please pay more attention. Yesterday was still too dangerous. Places like Huanhua Tower, where three religions and nine streams gather, are already dangerous, and you shouldn't go there.
of."
Jia Heng gently held his slightly plump waist and said with a chuckle: "It's nothing. In fact, I was prepared in advance. It was just to lure the snake out of its hole."
Zhen Xue's dark eyebrows were filled with worry, her teeth bit her cherry lips, and she said softly: "Zi Yu, don't be brave enough to risk yourself. Didn't that Duduo be brave enough to be brave, and then ran away injured, walking by the river?
How can anyone not get their shoes wet?"
As I talked, I felt something was wrong.
After calming down, he said softly: "Ziyu, don't think I'm nagging."
Jia Heng looked at Zhen Xue with gentle eyes. Lao Ma knew the way and said in a low voice: "Then I listen to Xue'er and won't take risks next time. In fact, it's better if Xue'er talks more."
Zhen Xue's beautiful eyebrows curved, and she snorted softly from her nose. The rose-red aura on both sides of her jade face extended to her earlobes, and even her jade earrings swung slightly. Sweetness surged in her heart, and she said with a trembling voice: "That's right.
, and Xinxin, she can’t sleep well at night, so I’ll leave a nanny to look after her.”
Jia Heng whispered, "Don't worry, I will take good care of her."
Zhen Xue was speechless and just hugged Jia Heng's neck tightly. She was just talking as if she was his wife.
Thinking of this, the young woman Hua Xin frowned slightly and sighed quietly in her heart. Her body was sorry for the prince, and her heart could not be sorry for the prince anymore.
"I'm thinking of finding an opportunity for our family of three to go to Xuanwu Lake and Jiming Temple." Jia Heng suddenly said in a deep voice.
"Ah... what kind of family of three?" Zhen Xue was swaying in her heart. Being asked unexpectedly, she couldn't help but screamed. She quickly covered her mouth and asked with shame: "Why... are you thinking about going around?"
"The main reason is that with Xinxin, we father and daughter can get along more." Jia Heng turned to speak softly.
"Hmm~"
…
…
Until the sun sets in the west, the golden red sunset in the western sky dyes the horizon red, shining on the entire courtyard, like a layer of red gauze covering the courtyard with overhanging eaves, while the belated swallows fly to the eaves and gently
Preening feathers.
Jia Heng tidied his clothes, opened a window against the flower wall, took out sandalwood and ice fiber from the wardrobe and put them into the incense burner. As the charcoal fire ignited slightly, green smoke curled up, giving people a sense of peace.
Meaning.
"It's getting late, we have to go back, Xinxin, stay here with you." Zhen Qing, except that her brows and eyes were filled with charm, her expression returned to normal, her snow-white skin was like a peach blossom, which could be broken by a blow, and she said softly
: "Early tomorrow morning, we will transfer to Jinling."
Just now, in order to avoid suspicion, the beauty even went to wash her hands and face for a while.
"Go back." Jia Heng nodded and spoke softly. The total conversation lasted for an hour and a half, which was almost the length of the subtitled plot. This was something he deliberately controlled.
Looking at Zhen Qing, who was wearing a gorgeous dress, she said softly: "Hey, don't walk yet."
"What's wrong?" Zhen Qingfeng saw a look of surprise in her eyes, and even Zhen Xue looked at the young man curiously.
Jia Heng walked closer, took out a square brocade box, opened it, and took out an emerald necklace. The necklace shone brightly in the sunlight, a heart-shaped pendant.
Jia Heng looked at Zhen Qing, who looked confused, and said softly: "I just thought about it, I haven't given you anything since we met."
When Zhen Qing saw the jade necklace, her eyes lit up under her beautiful eyebrows, and she said angrily: "What kind of necklace is this? I don't want it."
Jia Heng said with an indifferent expression: "I bought it from a street stall for twenty cents each. Just throw it away when I go home."
Zhen Xue: "???"
No, this... has she heard of it?
Zhen Qing snorted softly, feeling a sweetness that she didn't realize was in her heart. She stopped talking for a moment, and was about to reach out to take it, but saw the young man retracting his hand again. Just as he was about to frown and scold him, he heard a voice saying:
: "Let me put it on for you."
Zhen Qing's beautiful eyebrows furrowed and she pursed her pink lips, speechless for a moment.
Suddenly, I saw the young man approaching slowly. The python dragon on the python uniform with its teeth and claws was showing, because it was against the golden red light, and it was green and majestic. The white collar under the neck came into view, and the neck seemed to be still.
It has the red mark she just left.
Under the young man's delicate and handsome eyebrows, his expression was quite serious, and then he felt his fingers busy under the clump of hair on his beautiful neck.
As the jade necklace fell on the skin in front of her, the cold feeling from the jade heart-shaped pendant seemed to gradually soothe her restless mood. Zhen Qingfang felt happy and pursed her lips.
Pretending to be impatient, he said: "Are you ready?"
Jia Heng raised his eyes and looked at Zhen Qing. Under the beauty's curved eyelashes, her long and narrow phoenix eyes overflowed with charm, her lips were like roses, and she said expressionlessly: "Okay, see you tomorrow."
After saying that, he ignored the two of them and turned around to turn around the desk.
Looking at the young man's back, Zhen Qing's face was slightly dull, she hesitated to speak, and left with Zhen Xue without saying anything else.
At that time, twilight was closing in and the sky was filled with sunset. Jia Heng stood for a moment in front of the window, sighed softly, tidied up briefly, and then walked out of the wing.
As soon as I arrived at the Moon Gate, I suddenly saw a slim girl standing with a sword in her arms, looking at me mockingly with her clear eyes.
"Forced again?" Chen Xiao came closer, catching a scent between his nose and a slight blush on his cheeks.
Jia Heng didn't answer. While instructing Qingwen to prepare hot water for a bath, he frowned and asked, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Liu Jixian is looking for you. He said that the bodies of the two people who led the way were found by Duduo. Duduo should not have gone to sea yet. In addition, Liu Changdao, the son of Liu Shengzao, forced the wife of a salt official to submit." Chen Xiaoyu's face was faint and her eyes were floating.
With some inexplicable thoughts, he whispered.
Jia Heng said, walking towards the bathing room, and suddenly stood up. Under the dusk of the evening, the stern face under the wingless crown of the mountain was hidden in the shadows. His face was slightly gloomy and uncertain, and he looked at Chen Xiao.
He glanced at it and said in a deep voice: "While I'm bathing and changing clothes, I'll go and see if the people from Jinyi Mansion have rescued me?"
Seeing that the young man's face was as dark as water, and the clouds were thick and there was no rain, Chen Xiao regretted for a moment and said softly: "The man was saved. Liu Shengzao's son Liu Changdao is now imprisoned in the prison of Jinyi Mansion."
Jia Heng looked at the tall girl, and suddenly reached out his hand like lightning, and pinched the pink cheek as usual, inserting the edge of his thumb.
"You..." Chen Xiaoqing's eyes narrowed, and Yurong was stunned at first, and then inexplicably shocked.
He almost stood there dumbfounded, unaware that the string was on the wrong one. He gently licked the corner of his lips, and an indescribable taste suddenly hit him. In the dexterous sense of taste of this cook, his taste buds exploded, and his soul flew away. Suddenly, he recalled
When I got up, it felt like my hair was exploding, and I kept saying "bah, bah, bah".
OMG…
Jia Heng said: "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you now, but this mouth is pointing at Sang and scolding Huai. It's an insinuation. Why, you're scolding the cook when you're full?"
I was so engrossed in watching it that I was afraid I would miss a scene and end up with this and that afterward.
Chen Xiao was so ashamed and angry that she waved her fist at Jia Heng's shoulder. It was no longer possible to maintain the cold demeanor of the past, her cheeks were as red as fire, and she whispered: "You bastard! How could you, how could you?"
However, Jia Heng dodged it gently, and then ignored Chen Xiao, who looked angry, and headed towards the side room.
