Chapter 904 Jinyang: The two princesses of the Zhen family were pregnant at the same time
Jinling, Princess's Mansion
Above the attic, the curtains hanging above the windows were swaying gently in the wind, while the beauty turned her eyes happily and stared at the nanny who was walking quickly up the stairs.
Princess Jinyang's eyes were bright and she said, "Lianxue, come with me to take a look."
Lianxue said hurriedly: "Your Highness, why not just wait here and be careful not to fall."
Hearing this, the eldest princess of Jinyang smiled and said softly: "If you don't tell me, I will forget it, so let's wait here for him to come."
With that said, he sat down and waited for Jia Heng to come over.
After a while, as the sound of "treading" footsteps came from the attic, the familiar pace and rhythm came over and fell on the beauty's ears.
After a while, Jia Heng walked around a mica screen depicting splendid mountains and rivers, stood on the spot, stared blankly at the beauty in red dress, and called out: "Jinyang."
It has been ten days since I returned to the capital, but it took me a month to sail from Jinling to the capital. When I saw the beauty again, I still felt uncontrollable longing for her.
In the past year, he and Jinyang had spent less time together and less time together, but Jinyang had no regrets and was now pregnant with his child.
Under the slender eyebrows of Liu Ye, the eldest princess of Jinyang, her soft and charming eyes were shining brightly, looking at the young Wuhou who was wearing a python robe, her eyes fell on the clear face infatuatedly, and she called softly:
: "Ziyu."
Jia Heng walked a few steps quickly, took the slender hand of the eldest princess of Jinyang, and hugged her gently. The faint fragrance floated to her nose, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of peace in her heart, and whispered: "Jinyang."
As I got closer to Jinling, I felt more and more like I was returning home.
The two hugged each other for a while, and Princess Jinyang looked at the young man who was tired of the journey, and said with pity: "Brother, it's true, you just returned to the capital not long ago, and I asked you to come here in such a hurry, and you look haggard.
A lot."
Jia Heng chuckled and said: "I don't have to do the errands here in Jiangnan. I'm not in a hurry to see you two. I'll listen to you."
The child in Jinyang's belly is proof that he came to this world.
The eldest princess of Jinyang's jade face was as red as haze, her beautiful eyes showed a bit of anger, she said softly: "There is no movement yet, where can I listen?"
Jia Heng lowered his eyes and looked at the unswelled belly, and asked in surprise: "Why haven't you shown your pregnancy yet?"
The eldest princess of Jinyang was slightly shy, her voice was as soft as water, and she said, "The medical officer said it's probably spring time."
Jia Heng said warmly: "This is your first time giving birth to a child, so you have to have a good life and take care of it."
After saying that, he took the beauty's bare hand and sat down on the Arhat bed covered with mattresses. Lingxue brought two cups of butter tea and handed them to the two of them.
"I have read the newspapers in the past few days, and they said that you are asked to preside over the Jiangnan branch." Under the gorgeous cloud bun, the eldest princess of Jinyang has a round and jade face, a beautiful face, a soft voice, and a beautiful voice like a big pearl.
Small beads fall into the jade plate.
Jia Heng said: "It's not a difficult matter. I came here just to go through the motions. I mainly came to see the detailed rules for the Jiangnan and Jiangbei camp."
The eldest princess of Jinyang said softly: "Don't be careless. The influence of the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River is intertwined. Even though the general trend in Beijing is like this, you can't be careless."
"By the way, Chanyue wrote you a letter and asked me to bring it to you." Jia Heng said, taking a letter from his sleeve and handing it over.
The eldest princess of Jinyang took the letter, opened it, read it, and said, "Chanyue is in Beijing, you didn't bully her, right?"
Jia Heng couldn't help but think of the trembling girl with pursed pink lips, and whispered: "She is fine now."
Princess Jinyang put the letter away, sighed softly, and said, "I don't know how to tell her about her life experience in the future."
Jia Heng said: "Didn't you always want to hide it from her?"
"We can't hide it all the time." Princess Jinyang shook her head and said with a slightly hazy look in her eyes.
It's not just Chan Yue who can't be kept hidden all the time. As his status increases, those things from back then will gradually come to light.
When Jia Heng saw the beauty thinking, he didn't hesitate to ask more questions. He picked up a cup of tea and sipped it quietly.
The eldest princess of Jinyang withdrew her thoughts, looked at the young man with a stern face, and said with a chuckle: "Where is Xianning? I have been away from the capital these days. Is it because no one can control her?"
Jia Heng looked a little unnatural and said: "No, Xianning is very responsible in Beijing, and she still respects you."
The eldest princess of Jinyang chuckled and said sarcastically: "It goes without saying how much fun she must have at home. Is she acting like a monster in my bed?"
Back then, he was able to engage in secret communication under the table in front of her. What else could Xian Ning not dare to do?
Jia Heng's eyes averted for a moment and he said in a clear voice: "It's nothing."
Jin Yang really guessed it right. Xian Ning not only occupied the magpie's nest, but also went too far. He clearly wanted to shake his unique feelings for Jin Yang by imitating Jin Yang's speech.
"Just let her do whatever she wants." The eldest princess of Jinyang scolded her and didn't go into detail.
Jia Heng said: "By the way, I resigned from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division."
"I saw it in the newspaper. This is what the imperial sister-in-law is like." The eldest princess of Jinyang said with a faint look in her beautiful eyes and a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth: "She will have more tricks in the future. When you provoked Xianning, you should have thought
There will be such a day."
Jia Heng's expression paused, and he couldn't answer these words.
He glanced around and asked, "Where's the eldest sister? Why don't you see her?"
The eldest princess of Jinyang said softly: "Early in the morning, I went out with Qiu Fang to inspect the shops in Jinling City. It's not the Chinese New Year. Although the account books from various places have been sent here, it still needs to be checked whether there has been any fraud or personal enrichment.
Check it out."
Jia Heng asked: "How is the Zhen family doing lately?"
"Zhen Yingjia, Zhen Zhu and others have been exiled to other places, but Nujuan is at home and has not been dealt with." The eldest princess of Jinyang said, and suddenly asked: "Then sisters Zhen Lan and Zhen Xi will go to the capital with you.
How's it going?"
Jia Heng said: "I'm just staying in the house, there's nothing else."
The eldest princess of Jinyang nodded, and suddenly a look of wonder appeared on her face as she said, "It's strange to say that the two princesses of the Zhen family were pregnant at the same time. It seems that they are not separated from me for a long time."
This has puzzled the beauty for a long time recently, and she always feels that there is a fog.
Jia Heng's expression remained unchanged and he asked in surprise: "Is such a thing happening? When did this happen?"
It's not that he wants to hide Jinyang, but Jinyang is pregnant. If he knows this, it may affect his mood. Only when the pregnant woman's mood is more stable can she prepare for childbirth with peace of mind.
"It's been a month or two." The eldest princess of Jinyang couldn't help but turn her beautiful eyes, observing the young man's face. There was nothing strange when they met, and the suspicion deep in her heart gradually disappeared.
She didn't know why, but she always felt that the two princesses of the Zhen family were pregnant, and they seemed to be with her man...
Well, probably not. It is impossible for him to have an affair with the two princesses of the Zhen family.
After all, it's not one, but two.
It's really too shocking.
Jia Heng frowned and said softly: "This is normal. King Chu came to Jinling before, and then King Beijing also came from Shenjing. Now he has gone to Hangzhou. I was just saying that I would send someone to ask King Beijing.
How are the navies in Hangzhou and Fuzhou preparing for the decisive battle with the Jurchens next year?"
Without saying much, he quickly changed the topic.
Hearing Jia Heng mention the Jurchens, the eldest princess of Jinyang asked with concern: "The newspaper said that you opposed the peace talks with the Jurchens and that the chief minister of the cabinet was replaced?"
Jia Heng said softly: "Yang Guochang has retired and returned to his hometown. There are no longer any constraints on side affairs above the court."
Yang Guochang resigned as prime minister, although no one objected to fighting the Donglu from then on.
But Lao Yangtou obviously dug a big hole for him with his confession. If he did not win the war against the captives, he would have to bear the blame of all the civil and military officials of the entire court if the peace war was discussed in the future.
"You are also a first-class Wuhou now, so you don't need to put yourself in too much danger." Princess Jinyang thought about it for a moment, and understood the dangerous situation, and pursed her lips and said.
Jia Heng sighed and said: "Since I became an official, I have received great favor from the country, so I should make a difference. Besides, Xianning and Chanyue are both over the age of hairpins, so they can't wait long."
The eldest princess of Jinyang said softly: "Then there is no need to push yourself to such a dead end. What's wrong with that yellow-haired girl in Xianning waiting for a few more years? There is no hindrance."
She had to wait until she was in her thirties before she met this man. Fortunately, Xianning met him just after leaving the palace, and he was snatched from her hands. It didn't matter if she was asked to wait another year or two.
?
Now the eldest princess of Jinyang, after Jia Heng was granted the title of Marquis Wu and she became pregnant, her mentality was no longer afraid of men eating, drinking and having fun, but she was afraid of proving her change.
Jia Heng said softly: "There are some things that you have no control over. Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. I don't have any chance of winning."
The eldest princess of Jinyang looked at the young man with clear eyebrows and said softly: "That's fine, you are just a marquis now. If you have a chance of winning, if you make meritorious deeds and become a prince or a county king, in the future, even if you and I have
There is no need to worry if the matter is spread out and a few words are said."
Although the war is fierce and dangerous, there are things about him that are incomparable to ordinary people, and she doesn't need to remind him.
Jia Heng took the beauty's slender hand, and it felt delicate to the touch. With slender fingers, he gently pulled it over his shoulder and said warmly: "Jinyang."
The eldest princess of Jinyang, Liu Ye, had slender eyebrows and curved eyes, and her beautiful eyes were as bright as water. However, she felt the young man's warm breath approaching, so she put her hands on the young man's shoulders and responded passionately.
After a while, the eldest princess of Jinyang took Jia Heng's hand and said angrily: "You are really getting more and more skilled."
Jia Heng took his hand back angrily, chuckled and said, "Maybe it's because I'm used to it. Besides, aren't I worried that my child will be hungry?"
Princess Jinyang: "..."
Of course I knew this was a joke, as there was a nanny in the family who was dedicated to breastfeeding.
Jia Heng put his arms around the slender shoulders of the eldest princess of Jinyang, looked at the gorgeous and beautiful face, and whispered: "Jinyang, I miss you."
The eldest princess of Jinyang's beautiful eyes were as bright as water, and her heart was filled with longing. She stretched out her hand to caress Jia Heng's shoulder, and was about to hold the child.
However, at this moment, Lianxue coughed a few times, and a "squeaking" sound came from the wooden stairs, but it was Yuan Chun and Fu Qiufang who climbed up the steps.
"Brother Heng, are you back?" Seeing the figure who thought about it day and night, Yuanchun looked at the young man excitedly and asked in surprise.
Jia Heng stood up with a smile in his eyes, and looked at Yuanchun, who had not seen him for many days. The beauty was plump, wearing a light yellow official dress embroidered with auspicious clouds and lotus patterns.
With her peony face and jade cheeks still plump, she asked: "Sister, long time no see."
The original reason why Yuanchun was allowed to stay was to take care of Jinyang, otherwise he would really be reluctant to let Yuanchun go.
Yuan Chun's beautiful eyes were full of autumn, and she looked at the young man in the python suit for a moment, then suppressed the idea of throwing herself into the young man's arms, and asked softly: "Brother Heng, when did you arrive?"
Jia Heng chuckled and said, "It wasn't long after I arrived that I spoke to His Highness for a while."
As he said that, he cast his eyes on Fu Qiufang's face aside and nodded towards the "older leftover woman" without saying much.
Fu Qiufang bowed to Jia Heng Yingying and said warmly: "Qiu Fang has met Mr. Hou."
Looking at the two people who seemed to be sitting side by side and talking intimately just now, Fang was slightly frightened, but she lowered her eyes and did not dare to look further.
The relationship between the royal family, the emperor's daughter, and the nobles in the palace is sometimes messy.
Jia Heng nodded and said slowly: "Miss Fu, when I was in Shangqiu Mansion, I met your brother. He asked me to say hello to you and bring you two gifts."
Fu Shi was indeed a good man. He had planned his itinerary well in advance and waited at the post house in Shangqiu Mansion in order to see him.
As he was granted the title of first-class Wuhou, Fu Shi's attitude of wanting to give his sister to him as his concubine made him feel a little uncomfortable, to be honest.
It can only be said that people live up to their name and tend to follow the trend.
Fu Qiufang's face showed surprise as she applied the powder on her face, and asked: "Brother? What did he ask the Marquis to bring?"
Jia Heng said: "He brought a few specialties from Xinyang Prefecture and asked me to deliver them to you. I asked the accompanying guards to keep them and bring them to you later."
Hearing this, Fu Qiufang saluted again and thanked him: "I'm sorry to trouble you, Lord Marquis."
Yuan Chun looked at the boy in the python suit with a look of concern on his face, and asked softly: "Brother Heng, how is your family? Are your mother, father, and Baoyu all okay?"
Jia Heng chuckled lightly, and he also wanted to pull the plump beauty opposite him to get intimate, and said: "Everything is fine. It's almost the Chinese New Year, and the house is very lively."
Needless to say, Baoyu was almost killed by Jia Zheng before, but Yuanchun was fine in Jinling. If he returned home, he would face the pressure of Mrs. Wang to get married again.
Under Yuanchun's curving willow-leaf slender eyebrows, his eyes fell on the envelope next to Princess Jinyang's hand and asked: "Brother Heng, do you have any letters from home to send?"
Jia Heng smiled and said: "Yes, the third sister and sister Xue, sister Lin wrote a letter to the eldest sister."
It turns out that Yuanchun loved Baoyu so much, but Baoyu couldn't even remember to write a letter to Yuanchun.
After all, this is a story about a person whose carriage and horse are very slow, whose letters are far away, and whose love is the only one in his life... In short, the Hongyan Brocade Book may be a very happy thing for a few days in Yuanchun.
Of course, with him here, Yuanchun will be very happy for the next period of time.
Yuanchun said happily: "Brother Heng, where is the letter?"
Because Fu Qiufang was nearby, Yuan Chun couldn't be too affectionate.
Jia Heng took a few letters from the side, handed them over, and said: "This is from the third sister, as well as from sister Lin and sister Xue. The sisters in the family all miss my eldest sister."
Yuanchun was delighted as she opened the letter and read it. Her plump jade cheeks under her curved eyebrows were filled with a sweet smile.
The eldest princess of Jinyang ordered Lianxue on the side and called out: "Lianxue, let the kitchen prepare some wine and food."
Lingxue responded and then went down to the attic.
It's almost noon now, and it's time for lunch.
Princess Jinyang looked at Fu Qiufang and asked, "Qiufang, have all the account books from all the shops been delivered?"
"I have handed it over, and the money has been put into the internal funds of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Nanjing. Your Highness, the princess, can go and see it someday," Fu Qiufang said.
The eldest princess of Jinyang said: "I'll go take a look when I have time in the next two days."
Fu Qiufang looked at the young man in python suit on the side, lowered his head, and whispered: "Your Highness, if there is nothing else, I will go back and rest first."
The eldest princess of Jinyang said softly: "If something happens, I will call you again. Just go."
Jia Heng said: "The things your brother asked me to bring to you earlier will be brought to you by the maid later."
Fu Qiufang's originally moving steps paused and said, "Thank you, Lord Marquis."
After Fu Qiufang left, the eldest princess of Jinyang said: "Although Qiufang is a daughter of a small family, she has a clear mind and can be cultivated."
Jia Heng said: "You can decide these things yourself."
At this time, he turned to look at Yuanchun and said: "Sister, come here."
Yuan Chun's plump and rosy face turned red with embarrassment, and she said softly: "You and His Highness haven't seen each other for a long time. You should talk more."
Although he said this, he still moved his steps and got close to Jia Heng, allowing the young man to grab his hand.
"She is not in good health." Jia Heng took Yuan Chun's hand, held the beauty in his arms, and whispered: "Sister, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
The three of them had slept in the same bed countless times, but they didn't have any taboos about it.
Yuanchun secretly glanced at the beauty, and saw that the beauty's smile was still full, and he felt a little relieved.
His Highness Jinyang is pregnant, so we must not ignore her.
The eldest princess of Jinyang smiled lightly, looked at the boy in the python suit, and said softly: "Ziyu, Yuanchun has been with you for so long, when will you give her a child?"
Yuanchun: "..."
Well, what does it mean to give her a child?
Jia Heng took Yuan Chun's plain hand, and the soft chubby hand touched it more delicately, and said softly: "It's okay for my eldest sister to be late. We can't all rush together, and it's not easy to take care of her."
Yuan Chunfang was so ashamed that she whispered: "Brother Heng, I don't want to have children first... eh~"
Before he could say anything more, the young man pressed his lips together, and the familiar feeling of intimacy came again, and lovesickness overflowed between his lips and teeth.
Princess Jinyang picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and looked at the two of them with a smile.
After a while, Jia Heng looked at the beauty who was already pink and red, and said softly: "Sister, it will be Chinese New Year in a while."
Yuan Chun's rosy face was arranging her messy clothes, her pink lips said a slight "hmm", her beautiful eyes were as bright as water, and she said: "Brother Heng, how long will you stay here this time?"
Jia Heng said softly: "A few months, I can't stay any longer. There will be war next year."
Yuan Chun's eyes flashed with worry again, he held Jia Heng's hand tightly with his backhand and said softly: "Brother Heng, just be careful in everything."
Jia Heng nodded.
While the three of them were talking, Lianxue went up to the attic and said, "Your Highness, lunch is ready downstairs."
Princess Jinyang smiled and said: "Okay, I'm a little hungry now, let's go down and have a meal."
While everyone was talking, they went down to the second floor and went to have lunch.
…
…
Liangjiang Governor's Mansion, rear residence
In the garden with withered green leaves, an old man with gray hair stopped in the pavilion, looking at the frost-covered flower trees in the courtyard. The cold wind blew slightly around them, making it biting and biting, but the two of them did not avoid the cold wind and talked while walking.
"Zhitai, Marquis Yongning has arrived at Jinling City." The chief clerk, Bai Sixing, said with deep eyes and incomprehensible meaning.
Shen Fang clasped his hands behind his back and said with lightning in his old eyes: "The imperial court wants to divide Jiangnan into two, and the new governor of Anhui did not let any officials from Jiangzuo take office. This is clearly a check and balance."
Bai Sixing said: "According to what was written in the Di newspaper, this seems to be what Mr. Han Ge meant."
Shen Fang's eyes were a little gloomy and he said: "The letter just arrived yesterday, so I asked you to take care of the overall situation."
Bai Sixing said: "What do you plan to do, sir?"
Shen Fang sighed and said, "What else can I do? I haven't completely escaped from this sinful body, so what can I do?"
If you want to counterattack, you must at least wait until you lose the battle with Donglu. At that time, the government and the public are in a state of excitement and thousands of people are pointing out. At that time, you can put things right and clear up the source.
"Master Zhi Tai, Mr. Xu, the chief envoy of Jiangzuo, has handed over a message and wants to visit Zhi Tai." At this time, a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper came quickly from the corridor and said to Shen Fang.
Shen Fang said: "Let him wait in the flower hall first, I will go over right away."
As Anhui became an independent province, among Jiangnan officials, Xu Shikui, the chief envoy to Jiangzuo, was the most enthusiastic about this matter.
In the flower hall, Xu Shikui was sitting on a pearwood chair, with an obvious look of anxiety on his chubby face, without even touching the tea cup next to his hand.
"Master Taipei has arrived." Following the call from the housekeeper of Shen Mansion.
Xu Shikui looked solemn, stood up quickly, looked at Shen Fang and Bai Sixing who entered the house from the eaves of the corridor, walked a few steps quickly, bowed his hands and said, "I have seen Mr. Taiwan Maker."
"Master Xu, there is no need to be polite." Shen Fang said politely and invited Xu Shikui to sit down.
Shen Fang said: "Master Xu came here in such a hurry, looking for me, and he doesn't know why?"
Xu Shikui said: "My lord, I have something unclear, and I would like to see Zitai to clarify my confusion."
After saying that, without waiting for Shen Fang to ask, he already said: "Now Jiangnan is divided into two provinces. According to the rules, the Chief Secretary of Jiangzuo should be in charge of the affairs of Anhui Province. But now looking at the situation, the imperial court sent Yongning Marquis
In addition, he selected and inspected officials to patrol the north of the Yangtze River, and also served as deposed officials in the two rivers."
Shen Fang said: "Master Xu, please be patient. Now that the imperial court has selected other capable ministers and officials to take charge of political affairs in Jiangbei, we will wait until Anhui establishes the vassal system before making further calculations."
Xu Shikui said with expectation in his eyes: "Sir Shen, the Chief Secretary of Jiangzuo used to be the only one who looked after Liangjiang Governor's Office. Now that we have established an independent provincial system, the lower officials are afraid of damaging the majesty of Liangjiang Governor's Office."
Hearing this, Shen Fang said: "Separating provinces into divisions and establishing bureaucracies is a great plan set by the imperial court to run the country. Who dares to stop it? Now we can only wait and see what happens. Apart from this, does Mr. Xu have any other ideas?"
Now it's better to be still than to move. He always makes plans before moving.
Seeing this, Xu Shikui said: "Master Shen, Mr. Han Ge is over there."
"Mr. Han Ge has left the civil service. Now he is in a critical period, and it is harder to give advice. Moreover, this time when Marquis Yongning went south to inspect personnel, it is said that it was Mr. Han Ge who gave advice." Shen Fang said.
When Xu Shikui heard this, he was even more shocked.
Among Jiangnan officials, not only Xu Shikui, the chief envoy of Jiangzuo, was inexplicably frightened, but officials from the six departments in Jiangnan were also worried about this matter.
