Dusk is sinking, the lanterns are starting to turn on, the temperature has dropped significantly, the melted snow on the eaves has begun to freeze, and the cold wind is rustling the plum trees in the courtyard.
On the second-story attic with hooked eaves, bright orange candles have been lit by Lianxue with fire sticks. The earth dragon is burning in the room, and the hot air rises and spreads, making the room warm as spring and the fragrance is fragrant.
On the bed with curtains all around, under the quilt embroidered with hibiscus flowers, Jia Heng held Yuan Chun's plump waist. Her soft and smooth body seemed like warm cotton in the winter, as if to
Wrap him up.
Jia Heng turned to lie down and reached out to take Yuan Chun's bare hand. The beauty's soft and moist skin felt delicate to the touch, and her jade cheeks showed a rose-red aura. She whispered: "Sister, I have suffered a lot during this time."
Yuanchun's lush hair was spread behind her shoulders, and her plump and bright cheeks were as bright as fire, just like the bright peach blossoms. Her voice was slightly trembling as she said, "Brother Heng, you should also talk to His Highness more often."
The gold hairpin tassels on the bun are drawn in circles, shining brightly and dazzling people's eyes.
Princess Jinyang's cheeks were rosy at this moment, she raised her beautiful eyes slightly, her eyes were moist and quiet, she smiled softly and said: "You two are making trouble, so don't worry about me."
Jia Heng turned to look at the beauty whose beauty had turned into a bright peach blossom. His voice was slightly trembling and he said, "Jinyang, we will celebrate the New Year here this year."
Princess Jinyang gently squeezed Jia Heng's hand and said softly: "Ziyu, if you want to celebrate the New Year here, you have to let Lianxue and the others prepare a lively one. This is the first time you have spent with me."
Year."
Jia Heng said: "Yes."
After a while, he had known Jinyang for a year or two.
Jia Heng was having a fuss with Yuanchun Qiankun for a while, and it was already dusk. When the lamp was turned on, the bed with curtains around it was full of spring, and the fragrance of powder was rich.
Jia Heng glanced at the dark night outside the window and said softly: "It's getting late, it's time to get up and eat."
From the time after lunch till now, two or three hours.
The eldest princess of Jinyang looked at Yuan Chun, who was already as soft as a silkworm, with a smile under her willow leaves and slender eyebrows, and joked: "I said before that you can't deal with Yuan Chun alone."
Yuanchun closed his eyes slightly at this moment, and his face, as plump as the full moon, was already as beautiful as a peony in full bloom.
After changing into a brocade robe again, Jia Heng felt refreshed and felt that his tiredness had dissipated a lot. He looked at Yuan Chun who was sitting in front of the dressing table and dressing up lazily.
Secretly, she is really a flower that is as gentle as water.
Yuanchun was combing her hair at the moment, picked up a golden-winged phoenix hairpin and pinned it in her bun. She raised her eyes and secretly glanced at the young man. His jade face was as red as rouge, his eyes were full of eyes, and he quickly looked away.
Seeing this scene, the eldest princess of Jinyang said with a somewhat disgusted tone: "Are you still flirting with each other? Were you tired of it just now?"
"Your Highness." Yuan Chunyu said angrily, her face red with embarrassment and as bright as the clouds.
Jia Heng picked up the tea cup, took a sip, looked at the graceful beauty, and thought, it's getting late now, so he can only go to see Mopan and Xue'er tomorrow.
I don’t know if Mopan knows that he has arrived in Jinling now, but he is probably stroking his belly at the same time while calling him a pest?
Everyone got up and went down to the hall on the first floor again. The lights were brilliant, as bright as day. There were splendid curtains hanging on the four square windows. The jeweled jades shone brightly under the light.
At this moment, Lingxue has already ordered the kitchen to prepare the meal. On the mahogany dining table, there is a dazzling array of dishes, cups and dishes, all in order.
The eldest princess of Jinyang sat down, and while washing her bare hands with warm water in the copper basin, she whispered to the young man: "I asked the chef to make some tiger bone soup. You can make up for it later."
Jia Heng: "..."
What does this mean? Does he still need to make up for it?
Yuan Chun, who was sitting quietly at the side, glanced at Jia Heng with a plump and beautiful face that was as bright as fire. His moist apricot eyes were filled with autumn waves, and he pursed his pink lips.
There was no need to make up for it, she tried her best...
Well, you can't think like that, she is about to become a beauty and a disaster.
Just as the three of them were sitting down to have dinner, a nun's voice came from outside and said: "Your Highness, Princess Chu and Princess Beijing brought Shui Xin over to ask to see Her Royal Highness the Princess and Marquis Yongning."
When the eldest princess of Jinyang heard this, a strange color appeared on her face, and she wondered in her heart: "What are they doing here if they are not at home to raise a baby?"
Jia Heng: "..."
At this moment, I couldn't help but pick up the tea cup and took a sip. As I lowered my eyes, the tea soup rippled in circles.
Zhen Qing is so naughty... Did she come to the door with a big belly?
The nanny said: "Back to Your Highness, I heard that it was Shui Xin who knew that Marquis Yongning had come to Jiangnan, so he clamored for a godfather."
It turned out that between noon and afternoon, Zhen Qing finally sent someone to find out Jia Heng's "hiding place" - the Princess's Mansion.
Therefore, he encouraged Zhen Xue to come over with his daughter Shui Xin as a guest, intending to meet Jia Heng first.
Hearing this, the eldest princess of Jinyang frowned her beautiful eyebrows and said softly: "It's just getting dark now. I asked them if they had eaten. Let's eat something together later."
Zhen Qing is also the Princess of Chu, so she calls the eldest Princess Jinyang her aunt, but this kind of hospitality is extremely common.
The eldest princess of Jinyang said, with a bright smile on her face, she looked at Jia Heng and joked: "Your goddaughter is here."
Li Ren had speculated that the reason why Jia Heng accepted the daughter of King Beijing as his goddaughter might be to divide the four princes and eight princes.
Jia Heng felt his scalp was numb, but his expression did not change at all, and he said softly: "I'm going to see Xinxin."
The current situation has some hints of Shura Field. Of course, both Zhen Qing and Jin Yang know that they cannot show it to outsiders, but they are unexpectedly safe.
"Let's go meet him together." Princess Jinyang did not doubt that he was there. She stood up and said softly.
Fortunately, she didn't show her pregnancy now, even if she saw the Zhen sisters, no clues would be revealed.
"Your Highness, I'll go too." Yuan Chun said softly with a quiet jade face and soft eyes like water: "I haven't seen the two princesses for a while."
The eldest princess of Jinyang responded softly and said to herself that Yuanchun is also a person with good recovery ability. He was obviously soft and turned into a ball of mud just now, but now he is full of energy again.
Jia Heng said softly, and then the three of them headed to the front hall under the illumination of a group of female officials dancing with lanterns.
At this moment, Zhen Qing and Zhen Xue were waiting, accompanied by the female officer and the nanny. The two sisters were sipping tea and looking at the decorations in the flower hall of the princess mansion.
Zhen Qing is charming, with a hint of thoughtfulness on her pretty face. There are rumors in the capital that the eldest princess plans to recruit that bastard as her son-in-law and marry her orphan girl Chan Yue to him.
It seems that it must be true, otherwise it would not be possible to come to the princess's mansion in the first place.
However, with the help of the eldest princess from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, that bastard would be even more powerful and support the prince to succeed to the throne, and even the royal family would have no objections.
Zhen Xue took her daughter Xinxin's hand and waited patiently.
Xinxin raised her face as big as a palm and asked, "Mom, is your godfather really back?"
After her mother became pregnant with the baby, she didn't take care of her much these days, and her godfather didn't come for many days.
Zhen Xue smiled, the soft charm flowing from the corners of her brows and eyes silently, and said softly: "We're on the way, and we'll be here soon."
After a while, under the swaying octagonal glazed palace lantern hanging from the eaves of the corridor, I saw a tall and straight young man, wearing a straight green shirt and a blue scholar's square scarf on his head, with a clear face and warm eyes.
Zhen Qing stood up and looked at the young man. The joy and excitement in her beautiful eyes almost overflowed, but she took a deep breath and suppressed it again.
Zhen Qing stood up, bowed to Princess Jinyang Yingyingfu and said, "I've met Aunt Jinyang."
In addition, Zhen Xue also pulled her daughter to salute the eldest princess of Jinyang.
The eldest princess of Jinyang looked at the stunning beauty in red dress. Although she was unhappy, she had a smile on her face and said, "You are pregnant, so there is no need to bow."
Zhen Qing thanked him, but glanced at the young man in green shirt and sneered in her heart.
She thought she was busy with some official business, but it turned out that she was hiding here.
"It's so late, why did Concubine Zhen think of visiting my palace?" Princess Jinyang looked at the two of them again and asked.
A smile appeared on Zhen Qing's pretty face, and she said in a sweet voice: "Aunt, isn't this why Xinxin came over crying and making a fuss when she heard that her godfather was here?"
On the other side, Xinxin had already stretched out her little hand, ran towards Jia Heng, and called sweetly: "Daddy, give me a hug."
Jia Heng knelt down, hugged Shui Xin, and said with a smile: "Xinxin, I saw someone's little girl was so cute just now. It turns out to be Xinxin. Does Xinxin want to be her father?"
Shui Xin kissed Jia Heng on the cheek, with a smile on his face, and said in a soft voice: "I think about it, I think about it every day, why did it take so long for my godfather to come back, does my godfather miss me?
"
Jia Heng smiled and said: "I'm busy with business in Beijing, so why don't I come over to see Xinxin?"
The little Loli, who was holding a porcelain doll, sat down on the chair, turned to look at Zhen Xue, and asked warmly: "When I came to Jiangnan, my two sisters Lan'er and Xi'er sent two letters to the two princesses.
Letter, show it to the two princesses later."
Well, judging from the relationship, he can be regarded as the brother-in-law of the two concubines of the Zhen family. At least there is a layer of cover-up on the outside.
At this time, Zhen Qing stopped talking to Princess Jinyang and stared at the young man. The longing and resentment deep in her heart were mixed together, almost like a surging tide, but she tried to remain calm on her crystal jade face.
He smiled and asked: "Brother Laoheng is here, what about the letter?"
Although I really want to throw myself into this bastard's arms now, it's obviously not possible in front of the eldest princess.
Jia Heng smiled and said: "It's in the study. Sister, go to the study and get that cowhide bag and show it to the two princesses."
As long as Zhen Qing is still Zhen Qing, the Shura Field? Doesn't exist.
The eldest princess of Jinyang looked at the two concubines of the Zhen family with her beautiful eyes, and asked softly: "Have you had your meal?"
Zhen Qing said softly: "My sister and I came in a hurry and haven't eaten yet."
"It just so happens that I have placed wine and food in the hall of the back house. You can come over and share some." Princess Jinyang smiled brightly and invited her.
Zhen Qing and Zhen Xue thanked each other and followed Princess Jinyang towards the backyard without saying goodbye.
However, when everyone walked along the corridor and carried lanterns towards the attic, Zhen Qing couldn't help but look at the graceful and plump beauty walking aside, and her heart couldn't help but feel a surge of suspicion, and said: "Aunt Jinyang, Ziyu...
What do you do when you go south?"
"You didn't read the Di newspaper?" Princess Jinyang smiled softly and said: "He came here this time to preside over the Jiangnan branch. In addition, I heard that Henan's coal is going to be sold to Shandong and Hebei by merchants. I stopped by to give him a
I have discussed it, and you can come over as soon as you say. That child Chanyue even wrote a letter to me."
Zhen Qing asked curiously: "Cousin Chanyue didn't come over?"
Secretly, as expected, the eldest princess was very fond of that bastard and even wanted to recruit him as her son-in-law.
"It's a long journey. Chanyue has just arrived in Beijing and it's hard to come back." Princess Jinyang chuckled and said.
Zhen Qing glanced at the young man in green shirt holding the child again, and said softly: "Yes, it's winter, the roads are inconvenient, and Brother Heng came here to do another errand for the court."
While everyone was talking, they walked to the hall on the first floor of the attic, which was spacious, elegant, and bright.
Zhen Qing and Zhen Xue sat down one after another at the invitation of the eldest princess of Jinyang, while Jia Heng held Xinxin in his arms, patted the little loli's belly, and said with a smile: "Xinxin has eaten too much delicious food in Jiangnan, and she is a little bit
He’s fat.”
Shui Xin's beautiful and cute face flushed slightly, and she said a little shyly: "Can't godfather hold me anymore?"
Jia Heng chuckled lightly and said, "Xinxin is almost a grown-up girl, and I won't be able to hold her after another one or two years."
Zhen Xue said softly: "Ziyu, I haven't paid much attention to her during this period. She eats all the delicious food indiscriminately."
Shui Xin pursed her lips and thought to herself, "Mother has her thoughts elsewhere."
Zhen Qing's eyes were a little dazed as she listened to the "family of three" talking. Maybe after she gave birth to the child, she could talk and laugh with this bastard.
Suppressing the sudden strangeness in his heart, he asked softly: "Brother Heng, are my two sisters okay in the capital? Are they still used to their diet and daily life?"
"It's good. The two of them live together, almost like they are in the Zhen family. The princess can read the letters later." Jia Heng said, and then continued to tease Shui Xin in his arms.
Zhen Qing's jade face was slightly stagnant, her narrow and clear phoenix eyes flashed away, and her heart was filled with annoyance.
This bastard, didn't she just ask him casually and want to give him a few honest words, but she was so impatient?
The eldest princess of Jinyang smiled and said: "Okay, let's eat first, I am very hungry now."
Without saying anything else, everyone began to sit down and eat the food together.
After dinner, everyone began to sit down and drink tea.
After all, Zhen Qing couldn't hold back, and turned her gaze to the young man again, and asked softly: "Brother Heng, is the prince in Beijing now?"
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "I have returned to Beijing and have been in charge of the Ministry of War recently."
Zhen Qing saw the look between the young man's eyebrows and did not dare to say anything else. She said, "Your Majesty, he is in charge of the military department. Brother Heng is coming..."
Clearly seeing that Jia Heng Xu was referring to the King of Chu, the beauty hesitated to say what she originally wanted to say.
Jia Heng: "???"
Fortunately, the beauty was also a bit quick-witted and said: "Brother Heng will have a decisive battle with the Jurchens in the future. Your Majesty, he can also try his best to assist brother Zuo Heng."
She didn't even know what to say, so she ended her sentence in a strange place.
Jia Heng said in a clear voice: "This is an important military and national matter, and it is also my responsibility."
Zhen Xue listened quietly to the young man talking to her sister, her soft and beautiful eyes were very lively, and she felt a sense of shyness in her heart.
In fact, this time I came here not because of obsession, but just to relieve the pain of lovesickness.
Zhen Qing said with emotion: "Now that something like this happened at home, I don't know how to get into the palace to see my father. Now that I am detained in Jinling for some reason, it is actually a good thing."
"There is no need to worry, Concubine Zhen. The Holy Emperor was also quite sad after hearing about Concubine Zhen's experience in Nan Province." Jia Heng casually said with relief.
Zhen Qing sighed quietly, seeming to be in some kind of sad mood.
Everyone was talking and they had met each other, but because there was no chance to be alone, Zhen Qing glanced at Jia Heng again, and then said: "Aunt Jinyang, my sister and I won't stay here anymore, Xinxin
I left it with Brother Heng, and we will talk with Brother Heng here."
When I take Xinxin home tomorrow, I will be able to meet him. Well, that's it.
The eldest princess of Jinyang nodded, feeling a sense of strangeness in her heart.
Jia Heng took Shui Xin's little hand and chuckled: "Xinxin, how about sleeping with your Aunt Yuanchun today?"
Yuan Chun smiled and said: "Xinxin, why don't you sleep with your aunt tonight?"
Shui Xin came closer at this moment, looked at the plump-cheeked beauty, and said sweetly: "Okay."
Aunt Yuanchun seemed to have the scent of her godfather on her body, which made her feel much more peaceful, but her mother and aunt also had it on her body. How could this happen?
Zhen Xue looked at her "own daughter" reluctantly. On her gentle and peaceful face, she seemed to want to give up. She said softly: "That Ziyu, I will go back with my sister."
"Two princesses, walk slowly." Jia Heng said softly, feeling secretly relieved.
Mopan has been so clingy since she had a child.
He was just afraid that Mopan would be noticed by Jinyang and have some clues.
Fortunately, women are all born actors. Apart from the bright smile, Mopan's increasingly beautiful face did not reveal any clues.
The eldest princess of Jinyang then turned to look at Shui Xin who was sitting in Yuan Chun's arms and said with a smile: "This little girl is so beautiful. She will also be a beauty in the future."
She also doesn’t know whether the child she and Ziyu will have in the future will be a boy or a girl.
Jia Heng turned to look at Shui Xin, took the little Loli's soft little hand, held it in his own, and said with a chuckle: "Our Xinxin is just prettier."
The genes of the Shui family are undoubtedly excellent, and Shui Xin inherited Zhen Xue's eyebrows, which are soft and bright, and her eyes are shining brightly.
Shui Xin was ashamed and happy. She put her arms around Jia Heng's neck and said, "Godfather."
After the "father and daughter" had played around for a while, the eldest princess of Jinyang said softly: "Yuanchun, take Shuixin and go down to rest."
Yuanchun said softly, "Hmm", then took Shui Xin's bare hand, left the attic, and walked towards the hall.
Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at the beauty and said warmly: "The first floor is colder, let's go to the second floor to talk."
The eldest princess of Jinyang responded gently, and then, with the support of Jia Heng and Lianxue, she climbed to the second floor of the attic.
The two of them were sitting on the bed. Jia Heng held Beauty's hand and asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
"What do you think of the Zhen family and the King of Chu?" Princess Jinyang turned her head and asked in a clear voice.
Jia Heng was stunned for a moment and said, "Let's see what the palace means."
Princess Jinyang said: "The two sisters of the Zhen family are currently living in your house."
Jia Heng said: "If this is said, Xianning and I will get married in the future, so these are countless things."
Princess Jinyang thought for a moment and said, "It is indeed too early to consider these things now."
Jia Heng gently hugged the beauty's shoulders and said comfortingly: "Jinyang, no matter what, I will not take risks for the sake of our children. As for the future, we will take it one step at a time."
He never thought about plotting to usurp the throne. The main reason was whether the emperor was the Liu family or the Cao family.
The eldest princess of Jinyang said "hmm", rested her beautiful head on Jia Heng's shoulder, and murmured: "Don't worry, there won't be such tragic things in the future."
Jia Heng sighed softly and said: "It's getting late, let's rest early. I have to go to Jiangnan Camp tomorrow."
The eldest princess of Jinyang responded in a low voice, then blew out the lights, and the two of them got on the bed to rest.
