Chapter 979 Zhen Qing: I don’t know what the wedding will be like
Grand View Garden, Hengwu Garden
The mid-afternoon glow shines on the jade steps of the courtyard, as if the rooms in Hengwu Garden are covered with thin golden gauze. The dusk sets in the west and the lanterns begin to light up. (Due to caching reasons, please browse directly.

Jia Heng took Baochai's slender hand, which felt soft and delicate.
Jia Heng said: "You are so good, what do you mean by whether you are worthy or not? We have been together for so long, why have I ever cared about this?"
Under Baochai's beautiful brows, tears rolled down her apricot eyes, and Li Xin's face hung with tears as she said softly: "Brother Heng."
Jia Heng said softly: "In a year and a half, I will have more achievements to make, and I will ask you for a marriage then."
Baochai shook his head and said, "Brother Heng, I don't care about that."
Under the premise that both the daughters of the clan are married to Brother Heng, how could she be granted another marriage?
Jia Heng said: "Besides, when you become a Duke, it is not as easy as before to be promoted to a higher rank. At that time, when the court was rewarding merit, you took advantage of the situation and asked for a royal title for your sister. This is good for both the superior and the inferior."
Baochai is indeed quite old, and she doesn't look good. It has been almost three years since Baochai entered Jia's house, and the two of them have been together for almost two years, but Baochai is still in an underground love affair.
point.
Coupled with the joke that Aunt Xue made not long ago, the Xue family and her daughter have become the jokes of the Ning and Rong families.
Of course, has Baochai ever used retreat to advance? This... is a matter of opinion.
In fact, regardless of Baochai's background or temperament, she definitely doesn't want to be named a concubine like Sanjie You, but it is difficult for an ordinary person to become a concubine or concubine.
Knowing is as difficult as reaching heaven.
Baochai leaned her head against the boy's arms. Jia Heng held her hand and said softly: "Brother Heng said so, I am willing to wait."
Jia Heng put his hand into the lapel of his clothes, gently built a snowman, and said in surprise: "Still waiting? If you wait any longer, you will really become a big girl."
Baochai's jade face was crimson, and a sweetness gradually surged in her heart. She leaned her head against Jia Heng's arms.
At this moment, the golden lock was opened, which showed that the young man was not tired of his body.
Jia Heng took the handkerchief and gently stroked the tears shed from the corner of the girl's eyes, and said: "Who in the house doesn't know that you are mine? If you wait any longer, I don't know what they will say."
Baochai said "hmm" and said softly: "Then I...I will listen to Brother Heng."
The two of them were tired for a while, and Jia Heng raised his head and looked at the shy girl.
Jia Heng thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Lin and I told you before. I wonder if Sister Lin has told you that she is the heir to the Lin family."
Of course, with his status as the Duke of another country, it is impossible for him to be the father of the Lin family, and the palace will not allow it.
Under Baochai's green-feathered eyebrows, there was a hint of thought in her moist apricot eyes, and she said softly: "We have said in private that Zhu Er said that Uncle Lin agreed to the marriage."
Jia Heng smiled and said to the rosy-faced girl in surprise: "Did you tell me in private? Your relationship is so good now?"
The relationship between Chai and Dai is becoming more and more harmonious, which is actually a good thing, as it saves them from having an uneasy stay at home.
Baochai said "Hmm" and said: "Brother Heng, Qi'er has also been thinking about Brother Heng during this period. How come Brother Heng didn't even send a letter when he was fighting at the border."
When the girl said the last word, there was a hint of anger in her tone.
Jia Heng said: "I was too busy at the border and had so many things to think about that I didn't write any letters home. Once I wrote them, they wouldn't be a letter."
Baochai said: "Brother Heng is busy with state affairs."
Jia Heng said: "Sister Lin still doesn't care much about her status. She wants me to spend more time with her."
Baochai:"……"
Does this mean that she cares about her status? But she also wants him to spend more time with her.
Jia Heng had something in mind, and looked at the girl with a smile, whose lips were slightly open, and the expression on her face changed, and asked: "Why, are you thinking wildly again? In fact, it is also the way of this world, and we have to separate.
In fact, it is not that important whether you have a child of a different age, whether you are a direct descendant or a concubine."
Baochai bit her lower lip and said softly: "These are rules that have been passed down for thousands of years. It's not good to break them."
It's hard to talk about the inheritance of the title, otherwise it would seem like she is thinking about it.
Jia Heng hugged the girl's plump and delicate body, and the cold fragrance floated under the wings of his nose, and said softly: "Our family gets along by itself. I think that when I have children in the future, I will look at my own abilities.
If it's someone like the people who attacked the title of Ning and Rong before, no matter how much wealth they have, they won't be able to hold it back."
Baochai said "hmm", her apricot eyes sparkled, and she said softly: "Brother Heng said that."
Jia Heng said: "Actually, with this marriage, Xianning and Chanyue are now at the age where they want to talk about marriage. The reason why the palace has a dual marriage is for the two of them."
It seems that Baochai still had a vague expectation in her heart, but now that her expectation has failed, she can't help but pity her own gloomy fate, and she can't help but feel sorry for herself.
This kind of dual function was not originally prepared for Chai Dai.
Baochai said softly: "Back then, I also met the eldest princess on the ship, and she seemed determined to recruit Brother Heng as her son-in-law."
Her lover is now a young prince. In terms of vision, the eldest princess is indeed very discerning.
Jia Heng sighed and said: "I am here today mainly because of the power of the eldest princess of Jinyang. If the eldest princess of Jinyang had not recommended me to the imperial court, I may not have achieved my ambition today. Chan Yue also worked with me.
She has a worldly temperament, so after she passes the door, you two should get along well with her."
Baochai nodded and said: "The princess and Zhu'er are quite compatible. They have been having a good time together these days."
She always felt that Princess Xianning didn't think much of her, but Princess Qinghe was okay and was quite polite when talking to her.
Jia Heng chuckled lightly and said, "That's good. I said after the wedding, let's go to Jinling to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan."
Mainly to see Zhen Qing, Zhen Xue and Jin Yang.
Baochai said softly: "Brother Heng, Princess Xianning and the princess are going to Jiangnan, so we can't follow them all the way, right?"
Jia Heng said: "Then go south and take a look around. I will also reorganize the Jinling Navy. This autumn I will go to Tianjin Guards to train troops."
Now we are just taking a break from our busy schedule, waiting for everything to settle down before we need to reorganize the northern border affairs.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Jia Heng came to Baochai's ear and whispered: "We haven't seen you for a while, and I miss my sister a little. Let me take a look at the golden lock."
Baochai responded shyly, her plump and white face already blushing as brightly as the clouds. She looked at the young man, reached out and gently put down the hanging golden hook, and then came closer to him.
Jia Heng untied the girl's clothes and asked, "Sister Xue, how is the business at the Beijing store lately?"
Baochai said softly: "Everything is fine. Brother Heng, do you want to see those account books later?"
Jia Heng smiled and said, "I won't watch it now."
Then, he stared at the girl, his eyes lingering on Wanli's eyebrows, and whispered: "I will serve my sister."
Baochai looked at the young man, said "Hmm" softly, turned his head aside, and let the young man do whatever he wanted.
After an unknown amount of time, Jia Heng looked at the trembling girl with delicate body. At this moment, her hair was hanging down like a waterfall, and her white and greasy face with smooth muscles and bones was already covered with crimson. He whispered: "Sister Xue wants to
No... also serve me?"
In fact, Baochai was quite traditional in matters between men and women. Although she didn't have much resistance to him when they got along, she didn't want to save her body until the wedding night.
But the problem is, with this attitude, I don't know when the wedding will take place.
Baochai was so shaken by that scorching gaze that she turned her beautiful head to the side. She was so ashamed that she couldn't restrain herself and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng."
Saying that, he walked closer.
This is not the first time for the two of them, but they are already familiar with each other.
I don't know when, the night fell, and it was almost the time of Youzheng.
After a while, Jia Heng pulled the plump-cheeked girl close to his arms and said warmly: "Sister Xue, let's be a real couple tonight."
It's always boring and boring.
When Baochai heard this, her delicate body trembled slightly, and she said "Hmm" as loudly as a mosquito, and said: "Brother Heng, I..."
Jia Heng said softly: "Sister Xue is unwilling?"
Baochai said quickly: "No, I'll look for the handkerchief."
If he waits for marriage from the palace, then he doesn't know when. It's better to just be a real husband and wife today. He will never think of leaving her behind in this life.
Jia Heng was not in a hurry, but watched Baochai take out a handkerchief from under the pillow, and then spread it out on the brocade quilt.
Jia Heng watched Baochai busy with interest, then took Baochai's bare hand and said softly: "Sister Xue is interested."
Baochai lowered her head, pursed her pink lips, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng, please have mercy on me..."
Before she finished speaking, her delicate body trembled, her beautiful eyebrows slightly frowned, her watery apricot eyes were raised, and she met the young man's eyes, but saw the familiar warmth and softness, and the unbridled breath came close to her cheek.
After a while, Baochai's mind was shaken, and he could not help but let out a grunting sound from the wings of his nose. His moist apricot eyes quickly closed, like a small boat bumping in the rough waves.
The maid Ying'er, who was lighting the lantern, paused in her hands and listened to the humming in the room. Her fair and beautiful face turned red with shame, and she did not dare to say anything, so she tiptoed out of the room.
At this moment, the night is falling, and the cool summer night breeze is blowing the vines in the courtyard, and every time it blows, the branches and leaves dance and rustle.
I don't know when, the sky was overcast with clouds, and the summer rain that had been brewing for a long time poured down, falling on the majestic and magnificent palaces of Ningrong and Rong. The sound of beating leaves through the forest could be heard from time to time, and the green walls of the Hengwu Garden were heard.
The towering vine flowers were swaying in the violent wind and rain, and rolling raindrops flowed down the wet wall.
It’s the summer solstice time again.
After a long time, Jia Heng looked calmly and looked at the frowning girl with gentle eyes. His originally pear-like face was flushed, and even his earlobes were so delicate that he couldn't help but said warmly: "Sister Xue,
are you OK."
Baochai's plump face was as crimson as clouds, and her apricot eyes were as bright as water. There was a hint of thrilling softness in her slightly trembling voice. Her eyes as bright as water turned to the young man and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng.
"
From now on...she will be Brother Heng's woman.
Jia Heng gently took Baochai's bare hand, intertwined their fingers, brought it close to Baochai's ear, kissed the two shiny red lips, and whispered: "Sister Xue, call me husband."
In the past and present life, Chai Dai was undoubtedly the two jewels in the crown of the Red Mansion, and the softness and crunchiness just now truly lived up to the reputation of the mountain master’s crystal snow.
"Husband." Baochai called softly, with a trace of the charming charm of a new woman in the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, and a sense of joy and sweetness lingered in her moist almond eyes.
The two got tired of hugging each other for a while. After all, Jia Heng felt pity for Baochai, so he didn't bother anymore, and the two of them talked together.
…
…
Just when Jia Heng was immersed in the gentle countryside in Beijing, thousands of miles away in Jinling, Zhen's house——
Just as night falls, lanterns have been hung up under the eaves and corridors, casting shadows in circles. In the courtyard, a cool breeze blows across the lake. A bright moon in the lake collapses, and sparkling light waves scatter in all directions.
Pass away.
In the backyard, the lights were brightly lit, as bright as day.
Zhen Qing was sitting opposite Zhen Xue in the attic, holding a newspaper in her hand and reading it. Under the candlelight, the plump-faced beauty, with happy expressions in her eyes, said softly: "Third-class guard
The Duke has married both Rong and Ning, and Xianning and Qinghe are married together. It is such a blessing."
Putting down the newspaper, she gently caressed her slightly bulging belly. It turned out to be the Duke of the Kingdom. Her son had the protection of the Duke of Wei, and his position in the future would definitely be guaranteed.
Zhen Xue also took a newspaper from the residence, stared at it, and said softly: "Sister, with Ziyu's merits, how can he be the third-class Duke of Wei?"
Under Zhen Qing's willow leaves' slender eyebrows, a strong longing gradually surged in her beautiful eyes, and she said softly: "Actually, this is the meaning of preservation and grace in the palace. Otherwise, for such a great contribution, it must be a first-class Duke.
, and it won’t be easy to reward them next time if they make meritorious services. Now, it’s a blessing to marry Xianning and Chanyue.”
Zhen Xue's beautiful eyes were as bright as water, and she said with emotion: "That's right, since the founding of the country, there have only been four princes, and they were awarded military honors when the country was founded to conquer the world. The title of this prince is indeed remarkable. Ziyu has been where he is today.
One step is really not easy.”
Since the founding of the Chen-Han Dynasty, a total of four princes, eight princes, and twelve princes have been granted titles, but there were no more princes in the Taizong and Longzhi dynasties, which shows the gold content of the Dukes of the Han Dynasty.
It can be said that Jia Heng is now the de facto number one in the Han military.
Despair filled Zhen Qing's eyes, and she said faintly: "We are getting married in the middle of the month, but we can't go back to watch the ceremony."
She could never marry that bastard in her life, and she didn't know how grand and grand the wedding would be.
That bastard is also cruel. She and her sister are both pregnant. In the past few months, there has been no letter from him.
Zhen Xue gently stroked her bulging belly and said, "Sister, Ziyu should be fine after the battle this time."
Zhen Qing whispered: "It must be much more peaceful in the north. He should have time to go south. Didn't he say that he wants to go south to rectify the navy? He should come over."
Zhen Xue sighed quietly and said, "It's been half a year since I last saw you."
She was due to give birth to Lin'er in a few months, and she didn't know if Ziyu would be able to come and stay with her mother and daughter.
…
…
Prince Qi's Mansion
Qijun Wang Chen Cheng changed his clothes, swayed his fat body, and quickly came to the study. Facing Dou Rong, Jia Yucun and others who were looking at him with concern, they nodded and said: "Father, the emperor ordered me to
Restore the title of prince and wait for the imperial decree tomorrow."
The King of Qi was deprived of his title of prince because of the Sanhe Gang incident. After supervising the construction of the imperial mausoleum, escorting military supplies and other contributions, he was able to express his merits in both cases. After going to the Holy See, he finally regained his title of prince.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty." Dou Rong, Jia Yucun, Xu Shaozhen, and Monk Huitong all stood up and congratulated King Chen Cheng of Qi.
Chen Hong also nodded and said: "The original matter has been revealed, and Your Highness still has to look forward."
Chen Cheng, the king of Qijun, sat down angrily and said: "In the blink of an eye, it has been almost two years since my prince was deposed. If it had not been for my son's slander, how could I have been in such a difficult situation?"
This time I thought about doing something good with the grain, but in the end I suppressed the urge in my heart.
Fortunately, he did not follow the Shanxi merchants' mischief. Otherwise, if Jia Heng's son returned with a great victory, his father would be even more furious. At that time, he would not be restored to the title of prince, and the prince and county would not be able to keep it.
However, this kid was really lucky. The Hongyi Cannon's blunderbuss actually killed Huang Taiji, and now the whole Han Dynasty is holding him up to the sky.
King Qi was still depressed. He took the tea cup on the small table, took a sip, and said in a low voice: "Now that I have become a prince, I have become a relative. What should I say?"
Everyone sat down one after another.
King Qi turned to Dou Rong and said, "Dou Changshi."
Dou Rong twirled his beard under his chin with his hand, and there was a look of thought in his old eyes, and said: "Your Majesty, after the great victory, the Duke of Wei is now famous all over the world and has unparalleled power, but his military achievements are like those of the Prince of Nan'an.
People are mad with jealousy, and civil servants are wary and wary. It's just that the northern captives cannot be separated from the Duke of Wei. It is really not appropriate to be an enemy of them now. The prince should still tolerate his anger for a while."
The King of Qi is Tianhuang Guiwei, and he can call Jia Heng "child", but ordinary people would not dare to call Jia Heng "child" even in private at this moment.
Facing the King of Qi's gaze, Jia Yucun said: "What Dou Changshi said is true. Duke Wei was granted the title of Duke at a young age, and his position is extremely popular. Seeing the surge in military honors, civil servants will definitely not be happy to see it."
In fact, the civil servant group was mainly composed of Han Huang, Zhao Mo and other Jiangnan gentry. Although it was divided into Anhui and Jiangsu, the collective will of the civil servants could not be split instantly.
King Qi said: "I see that although this kid is good at fighting, his two great victories over the Jurchens, after thinking about it carefully, most of them relied on red barbarian firearms. How can I use these red barbarian firearms while others can't?"
This is actually a kind of speech in Beijing today.
That is to say, the audio transmission of Jia Heng's victory is mostly due to luck.
In the Central Plains, a group of farmers who had just put down their hoes were being beaten violently by the government and the army.
Whether it was the Jurchen water battle - the Haimen victory, the Chongmingsha victory, or the northern battle, they all had one thing in common: the use of red barbarian firearms to defeat the Eastern captives.
As King Qi spoke, he looked at Chen Hong who was not far away and said, "What do you think, brother?"
Chen Hong pondered for a while and said: "The Duke of Wei is now in charge of the capital camp as a foreign relative, and there is a danger that Tai'a will overthrow him. However, now the emperor is immersed in the joy of defeating the Jurchen. As time goes by, the emperor's joy fades.
There will be people at home and abroad who are alert, and the Emperor will also think about the relationship between Duke Wei and the King of Wei."
King Qi frowned and said: "Brother Wang, today I went to see Grandpa Huang. His health is getting worse and worse, and his attitude towards me seems to be not as good as before."
Chen Hong said: "Your Highness, does he know why the fourth uncle wants to restore your title of prince?"
"Why?" King Qi was surprised for a moment and said, "Isn't it because I, the king, have done something wrong and my father is the only one?"
"The King of Wei is so powerful. He has a father-in-law like the Prince of Nan'an County and a close relationship with Jia Ziyu. If things go on like this, the imperial power will inevitably fall to the side, and the palace will have the ambition to rejuvenate." Chen Hong said.
A stream of cold sweat broke out from King Qi's back, and he said, "Could it be that this King and King Chu are both trying to contain King Wei?"
Then doesn’t it mean that neither he nor the King of Chu has any chance of winning the great treasure, and they are just here to make up the numbers?
Chen Hong said: "This is probably the case now. King Wei has a better chance of winning, and King Chu has a better chance than His Highness."
"I can't bear to be alone!" King Qi said quietly.
Chen Hong's eyes were dark and he said in a low voice: "Your Highness is not the only one who is unwilling."
As soon as these words came out, King Qi's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and he looked at Chen Hong doubtfully.
Chen Hong glanced at Jia Yucun and Dou Rong. Dou Rong understood and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, let's go down first."
With that said, he left the study together with Jia Yucun, Xu Shaozhen, Huitong and others.
A look of surprise appeared on King Qi's face, and he stared at Chen Hong.
Chen Hong took out a letter from his sleeve, handed it over, and said, "Your Highness, you can read this."
King Qi took the letter from Chen Hong, lowered his eyes and looked at it, feeling shocked.
Without him, this is a letter written by Chen Yuan, the son of King Zhao.
"Brother, what do you mean by this?" King Qi put down the letter and looked at Chen Hong with eyes the size of mung beans, feeling shocked.
Chen Hong said: "Now that things have happened, we have to unite with this person, otherwise His Highness will never be able to inherit the throne!"
Although the person in front of me has regained the title of prince, he no longer belongs to the Sacred Heart. If he wants to ascend the throne, he can only take an unusual path.
