"Brother, um, I only have these six chapters of manuscripts in my hands. Jia Heng's later essays... must not have been written yet." Facing Emperor Chongping's gaze, Princess Jinyang's face paused slightly, and her heart was filled with excitement.
With a touch of weirdness, he explained: "I heard that Jia Heng has been busy getting married these two days, and he had another trouble with the Jia family."
Emperor Chongping covered the manuscript, was silent for a moment, and said: "Jia Heng, please ask someone to urge you..."
Princess Jinyang's face paled slightly, and she felt like she couldn't laugh or cry in her heart.
Two days later, Hanmozhai——
Jia Heng listened to Lianxue opposite him describing the incident in detail. He was silent for a moment and said, "Miss Lianxue, what do you mean, Your Highness?"
Emperor Chongping wanted to summon him, which was somewhat unexpected, and it wasn't because of Princess Jinyang's initiative to recommend him.
"I think it was the previous incident with Jia Zhen that attracted the emperor's attention. If you are interested in inquiring about my situation, analyzing and judging, it is not difficult to summarize, but that is for future generations..."
It can be seen from this that the emperor must have a capable intelligence agency, otherwise it would be impossible to learn so much information about him in a short period of time.
After all, he had a falling out with someone in Jia's family just in the morning and got the news in the evening.
"As a king, living deep in the palace of the Nine Layers, the most taboo thing is to be deceived by saints and unable to recognize people. Because the basis for people to make judgments is information, and then from the chaos. In later generations, there are even professional intelligence analysts who do open source intelligence analysis.
Organization." Jia Heng's mind was spinning, and he had a grasp of the emperor's temperament and political skills.
"Such a helmsman, faced with the overall situation of the late Ming Dynasty during the Little Ice Age, has ended up in the situation of "the bones are as white as the mountains and the surname has been forgotten, and the ghosts are singing under the green peaks and forests", and "the vast white land is really clean." It can be seen that... power cannot be relied on.
hold."
Lianxue said: "Master Jia, His Highness is still waiting for you in the mansion, let's set off."
There is no doubt that I will take the manuscript to the palace to meet the saint later.
And the eldest princess of Jinyang will definitely give some advice.
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Miss Lianxue, please."
Following Lianxue, she got on the carriage and headed towards Princess Jinyang's Mansion.
Princess Jinyang's Mansion is still the same attic. On the first floor of the attic, the eldest princess of Jinyang is wearing a rose-red palace dress. Her body is graceful and exquisite. She is sitting on a pearwood Taishi chair. She is a beauty in her early thirties.
The beauty of spring flowers and autumn moon is like a blooming peony. Because she is a widow living in the house, she is even more beautiful and beautiful in solitary admiration.
The eldest princess of Jinyang met the young man's calm gaze, her lips parted lightly, and she said with a chuckle: "Lianxue has already told Mr. Jia about the matter. The imperial brother found out about the manuscript written by Mr. Jia from somewhere. I asked you about it the day before yesterday.
The palace did not dare to deceive the emperor, so he had to report everything truthfully. In the past two days, the emperor's brother sent the eunuch to the house to ask three questions. Thinking that Mr. Jia was a newlywed, and most of the manuscript was not finished, he did not let Hanmozhai have it.
Come to disturb me, I just heard from Lianxue that Mr. Jia has finished the manuscript?"
Jia Heng said: "The first fifteen chapters have been completed."
As he spoke, he pressed the wooden box next to his hand.
The eldest princess of Jinyang said: "That's just right. Later, sir will go to the palace with me to meet the saint. After the saint read the manuscript the day before yesterday, he was full of praise. Mr. Xiaojia has great literary talent and extraordinary talent."
Jia Heng raised his eyes as calm as the abyss and said: "The Holy One is so complimentary. There are splendid mountains and rivers in the Holy Spirit's belly. I guess it's not a big deal in His Majesty's eyes to talk small talk."
He felt that the eloquent words were more like Princess Jinyang's "adding fuel and jealousy". Judging from the current impression that Emperor Chongping gave him, even if he appreciated it, he would not be full of praise.
The eldest princess of Jinyang smiled softly. Looking at the calm young man opposite, she felt more and more interesting.
If anyone else, not to mention other young people, is a fourth- or fifth-rank official, hearing that the emperor is full of praise, no matter how deep the city is, the joy cannot be concealed.
But is the young man in front of him really just a branch of Ningguo who comes from a humble background?
Pity……
We are finally married, otherwise Chanyue...
The eldest princess of Jinyang chuckled lightly, and with an inexplicable feeling of sadness, she said softly: "Mr. Jia, please go take a bath and change clothes first, and then you will enter the palace with me later."
When entering the palace to meet the saint, there is naturally a complete set of etiquette procedures, such as bathing and changing clothes, incense, and simple palace etiquette.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, Princess."
Princess Jinyang smiled softly and warned: "Lianxue, take Mr. Jia to the wing to take a bath, find two unworn brocade robes that I usually buy, and put them into Mr. Jia's clothes."
Lianxue glanced at Princess Jinyang in surprise and said, "Yes, Your Highness."
The two of them got down from the attic and were about to go to a side room when they suddenly met a little girl from the corridor, accompanied by several nuns.
When he saw the two of them, he said from afar: "Sister Lianxue, where is my mother?"
"Princess, Your Highness is in the pavilion." Lianxue looked at the little princess, a gentle smile appeared on her cold and frosty jade face.
This scene fell in Jia Heng's eyes, his eyes flashed thoughtfully.
While speaking, Li Chanyue, the princess of Qinghe County, walked quickly. The young girl looked at Jia Heng curiously, blinked her bright eyes, and asked: "Whose family are you from? But...it looks a little...
Does it look familiar?"
The little princess was away from home all day long and saw many interesting people, but she had long forgotten that she had met Jia Heng while hunting.
Jia Heng looked at Princess Qinghe with a calm gaze and said, "Previously, I met the Princess who returned from hunting in the suburbs of Chang'an."
"Oh, oh, you are the one who pulls the two-stone strong bow...what's the matter?" A flash of memory appeared on Princess Qinghe's face. She felt like she remembered it, but she couldn't remember it now.
Already.
"Jia Heng." Jia Heng said lightly.
Lianxue smiled and said: "Your Highness, I have to take Mr. Jia down to bathe and change clothes."
Princess Qinghe smiled softly, with two dimples appearing on her rosy cheeks, and said: "Sister Lianxue, go ahead, I'll go first."
Watching Jia Heng and Lian Xue go away, Princess Qinghe blinked, tilted her head, frowned and thought for a moment, then asked Nan Yan, the maid who was following behind her, and said, "Mother, have you ever had someone bathe in your house in the past?" Change clothes?"
Maid Nan Yan's expression paused for a moment, then hesitantly said: "It seems... not."
Princess Qinghe's eyebrows showed a hint of worry, and she thought: "Mother has often met some famous people before, but it seems that she has never..."
Li Chanyue's eyes flashed, and there was a hint of worry between her eyebrows.
I was reading in the East Pavilion the day before yesterday, and I found that the princess of the previous dynasty was living as a widow in the house, and she was lonely and unbearable. All of them had a good reputation. My mother had always been clean and self-sufficient, but it was not always safe. After all, she was thirty-one. This Jia Heng was holding on to her strong bow, especially... …
She didn't want to have a stepfather suddenly one day.
Li Chanyue was thinking about it, and suddenly her heart beat rapidly, and her flawless white cheeks felt inexplicably hot. She raised her head and looked at the autumn sun, and muttered: "This autumn tiger, the sun shines on people who are sultry."
Jia Heng was taking a bath in the tub, rejecting Lian Xue's suggestion of being served by a maid. While taking a bath, Jia Heng was thinking about the meeting to be held in person later.
This time when he met the emperor, something happened suddenly. What did he say when he met the emperor, and stated his strategy for the affairs?
If we really want to talk, we can talk for a few words.
But without investigation, he has no right to speak. He has not made any on-the-spot investigation of the border situation in the past century between Chen and Han, especially the war against the captives after the fall of Liaodong, so what he said is often gross and inappropriate. It is difficult to be specific. Once asked, It is easy to be asked about details, which will greatly reduce the initial impression left.
Therefore, we cannot take the initiative to stir up side issues for the time being.
There is also the emperor's intention of summoning him, combined with the recent conflict between him and the Jia family, which is also worthy of careful consideration.
This is probably, maybe... not a meeting for book fans.
Jia Heng thought about the joints. Unknowingly, half an hour had passed. He felt that the hot water in the bathtub had gradually cooled down. Ling Xue's voice came from outside, saying: "Master Jia, have you washed it? The clothes are here." On the chair just now."
Jia Heng responded, picked up the towel on the side, and wiped the water off his body. He didn't know what kind of spices were used in the bath water. The fragrant fragrance penetrated into the skin... and the hot water marinated it in flavor.
Jia Heng frowned, somewhat unaccustomed to it.
After thinking for a while, I picked up the clothes on the side. It was a Sichuan brocade round-neck robe. The collar and cuffs were embroidered with cloud patterns, which was quite exquisite.
Jia Heng pondered for a moment, put it aside, picked up his clothes and put them on.
Even though he knew it was not the "original" Jinyang brand brocade robe, he didn't wear it.
After putting on his clothes, he stood upright and walked out of the wing with a calm expression.
Seeing that Jia Heng was still wearing the green shirt he had worn when he entered the mansion, Lian Xue's face was as cold as jade, he paused slightly, and said in surprise: "Master Jia, didn't you see the clothes on the chair just now?"
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said in a clear voice: "The people are not as good as they used to be, and the clothes are not as good as they were before. Miss Lianxue, let's go, don't keep Her Royal Highness the princess waiting too long."
Lianxue: "..."
A clear, white face showed a strange color, and the bright eyes were fixedly looking at the young man's profile, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
After Jia Heng finished speaking, he nodded to Lianxue and walked towards the way he came.
When it comes to clothes, he still has to be comfortable in them. A straight green shirt is his color at this stage.
Of course, none of the above is important. The robe just now was... a little loose.
The two met the eldest princess of Jinyang in the attic flower hall.
The eldest princess of Jinyang put down the manuscript in her hand, glanced at Jia Heng with her beautiful eyes under Liu Ye's slender eyebrows, but without saying anything, she said in a clear voice: "Mr. Jia, let's set off."
Just now, she also forgot that the two of them had different body sizes, and most of the clothes she usually prepared did not fit.
Jia Heng nodded and glanced at the beauty's front. He paused for less than a moment and then looked away.
At this moment, Li Chanyue, who was sitting aside and holding a windmill that was constantly turning, caught someone's gaze, raised her eyebrows and said, "Mother, I will also go to the palace to have a look."
Princess Jinyang smiled and said, "Didn't you just come back from school in the palace? If you don't want to play at home for a while, why don't you go to the palace?"
"Is there anything fun at home? Besides, I'm all alone." Li Chanyue held the windmill in her hand and said softly.
Princess Jinyang glanced at her daughter with both fondness and helplessness: "As long as you don't feel tired, let's go."
