Chapter 991 Queen Song: It’s so good, why is she suddenly thinking about giving birth to a child?
Ningguo Mansion
A bright moon hangs high in the sky, shining on the black tiles on the eaves. The glass in the eyes of the owl-kissed beast on the winding ridge of the roof seems to be shining. In the west window wing of the southeast corner of the back house of Ningguo Mansion, the candlelight is bright and bright.
, a beautifully furnished and luxurious interior, on a glass mica screen, a peony flower was in full bloom.
In the inner compartment, the husband and wife were sitting side by side on the bed, talking quietly.
The maid Baozhu brought a copper basin of hot water, bent down and whispered: "Grandma, uncle, it's time to wash your feet."
Jia Heng looked at the beauty beside him and said, "My dear, let's wash our feet and go to bed early."
Qin Keqing responded and chuckled: "It's getting late."
Third Sister You knelt down and said with a smile: "Sister, let me wash your feet."
Qin Keqing said softly: "Third sister, just let the treasure come."
Sanjie You smiled and said, "I am supposed to serve my sister."
In a wealthy family, concubines do regard themselves as slaves to the mistress of the house. Of course, the head wife of the Jia family is more tolerant.
Qin Keqing couldn't resist Third Sister You's enthusiasm, so he could only let Third Sister You put on her shoes and socks.
After a while, Baozhu also entered the side room with a basin of hot water and waited on Jia Heng to wash it.
Baozhu and Ruizhu slowly lowered the hanging curtains and added ice silk and agarwood chips to the smoke cage.
Qin Keqing wiped off the water stains on her feet, and with the help of Jia Heng, she lay quietly in the inner compartment. Seeing the gentle smile between her eyes, the beauty asked: "Husband, Zhong'er is not even old.
Xiao, I'm thinking of setting a marriage for him, what do you think, husband?"
Jia Heng said: "Okay, which girl did you fall in love with?"
Not the girl in the garden? Do you want to stop me?
Not talking about Xing Xiuyan, just talking about Li Wen and Li Qi, they are actually at the age of many people.
Well, probably not.
Under Qin Keqing's beautiful eyebrows, her beautiful eyes shone slightly, and she chuckled: "Dad told me that she is the niece of a distant nephew of Zhao Shangshu."
Jia Heng asked in surprise: "Which Minister Zhao?"
"That's Zhao Yi, the official of the Ministry of Industry." Qin Keqing said softly.
Jia Heng thought thoughtfully and said softly: "That is also a scholarly family. It's just that my father-in-law and Zhao Yi work together in the same government office. Will there be any gossip about getting married like this?"
In fact, Qin Zhong and Shuiyue'an's intelligence are related for some time, but Qin Zhong's fate has obviously changed somewhat compared to the original work.
A thoughtful look appeared on Qin Keqing's jade face, and she said: "She seems to be a distant niece. She is far away, so it shouldn't be a problem. Besides, my father is old and has not been an official in the Ministry of Industry for a few years."
Jia Heng smiled and said: "In that case, I will write the marriage certificate for Jing Qing some other day. The key is whether Jing Qing can like it. After all, it is better for you to live your life or to like it."
"I've met that girl before, and Jing Qing also likes her." Qin Keqing said with a smile.
Looking at his wife's sweet smile, Jia Heng's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of peace in his heart.
He gently stroked Qin Keqing's belly and said, "I'll listen to you child."
Qin Keqing said "hmm", then looked at the young man leaning against his bulging belly, with a plump and soft face, smiling lightly, and a surge of happiness and sweetness surged in his heart.
At this time, Third Sister You also put on her clothes, lifted the quilt and entered the bed.
This bed was originally spacious and comfortable, and now that the three of them were lying on it, it didn't seem crowded at all.
As the couple talked, Qin Keqing took Jia Heng's hand, her face as bright as a spring flower turned red for no reason, and said softly: "Husband, it's night, let's have a rest."
In fact, she also missed her husband a little during this period, but after hearing the medical officer say that she was pregnant, she could not have sex, but she still missed her husband for some reason.
Jia Heng turned to the side and looked at Sister You, who appeared to be unbuttoning her clothes, revealing a light green dress, and said, "Let's rest together."
Because the weather was hot, the curtains were not lowered. The three of them got on the soft mattresses and lowered the curtains from the golden hooks.
Jia Heng was lying on the bed, hugging Qin Keqing and talking in a low voice.
Suddenly, his expression paused, and he looked at the girl with the hairpin on her bun swaying slightly and her hair coiled down, and asked, "Where did you learn this, Third Sister?"
Third Sister You spoke vaguely, took a breath and said, "Master, don't you always ask Qingwen to take care of you?"
Under the gaze of Qin Keqing who was smiling but not smiling, Jia Heng looked a little unnatural and said: "Qingwen is still young, so it's not easy to lose her body too early. Sometimes she will inevitably be greedy."
Qin Keqing tilted her rosy face to the side and said softly: "She has been with her husband for two or three years. When will he come into the room?"
Jia Heng said softly: "Actually, I'm not in a hurry. The third sister's marriage, heh..."
It seems that when the marriage was mentioned, Sister You was a little emotionally unstable, and it was inevitable that the matter would be lost.
Third Sister You raised her beautiful face, her eyes filled with mist, and said, "I'm so busy lately, so it doesn't matter if I wait a little longer."
As he spoke, the hairpin between the temples swayed again, the jade cheeks sometimes sunk and sometimes stretched, under the beautiful eyebrows, the curved eyelashes covered a cluster of shadows, and the cheek skin on both sides of the beautiful nose was already as red as rouge, as bright as rouge.
spring flowers.
Jia Heng thought for a while and said softly: "I don't have much time recently, so third sister, there's no need to be too anxious. It's just a formality."
Third Sister You looked condescendingly at the young man's face. After a moment, he led the boat into the harbor with his slender body, and said: "It's okay to hold the wedding when the uncle has free time."
Qin Keqing looked to the side of the young man, whose brows were frowning and relaxing, and whose temples were slightly sweating. He leaned into his ear and said, "Husband, from now on, when sister Xianning comes over, my husband usually runs away."
Jia Heng was surprised and asked: "Xianning, have you never met her before? She is usually very easy to get along with."
Xianning became a legal couple after the marriage, and he was probably very attached to her. Fortunately, Keqing was pregnant, otherwise he wouldn't have known how to think about it.
Qin Keqing's face showed a look of reminiscence. Listening to the strange voice in his ears, for some reason, he felt that Fang's heart was beating a little too hard, and his delicate body felt hot. He said, "I saw her once or twice when the empress in the palace was giving me things."
, it looks like it’s much easier to talk.”
Jia Heng said: "It will be good if you get along more often. She has no airs."
Qin Keqing glanced at Third Sister You, who was getting better and better, and said angrily: "How to get along? How about being like Third Sister?"
I don’t know why, but when I saw my husband with another woman... he felt a little weird. Maybe it’s too hot today?
"I didn't say it, you said it yourself." Jia Heng's face paused slightly, he almost sat up from his deathbed, and quickly denied it.
Qin Keqing snorted and said quietly: "When Sister Xianning and Sister Chanyue come over, I'm afraid that my husband will stay at the princess's house every day. I don't know how happy he is, and he won't be able to go back home at that time."
After all, she is a romantic Niao Na, who is good at playing with women. Now she is really moved, and there is a bit of indescribable charm in her.
Jia Heng looked at Qin Keqing, who was clinging to her like a waterweed, gently touched her shoulder, and whispered: "Okay, I'm full of vinegar, but don't make the child sour."
Qin Keqing: "..."
Why was she jealous? Well, she was a little worried about Huang Guiwei that day, and the imperial daughter of the clan favored her husband alone because of her status.
Jia Heng said: "Okay."
After saying that, he patted Sister You San's curly hair, and the girl with flying hair opened her eyes. The sweat in her hair dispersed the makeup, showing a surprised look.
Up to now, it has actually been three months for Keqing.
"Husband, child." Qin Keqing's beautiful face changed slightly, her white teeth bit her pink lips, and she said in a trembling voice. She clearly felt that the wanderer who had been wandering outside for half a year clicked the copper ring on the red door.
"Well, a snack is nothing." Jia Heng gently stroked his slightly bulging belly and whispered.
After all, there is Sister You beside me who can come to the rescue, mainly to comfort Keqing's lovesickness.
Qin Keqing said "hmm", her cheeks were as red as blood, she turned slightly sideways, gently caressed her bulging belly, and let Jia Heng do it.
The night is already dark and it is almost time to give birth to a child.
The bright moon in the sky has long been obscured by clouds. Looking from a high altitude, the green brick and black tiled houses in the courtyard of Ningguo Mansion are dotted with sparks. It is the lanterns under the eaves that decorate the vast Ningguo Mansion.
The cool summer breeze blows back and forth, carrying the hot summer air, slowly walking through the flowers, the lotus in the pond is swaying, and the crystal morning dew shakes off the lotus leaves, falling on the lake, creating ripples in circles, fragrant
The fragrance spreads out silently.
…
…
next day
Jia Heng stood up, changed into a python suit with an embroidered coat of arms, stood up in front of the bronze mirror, and looked at the tall and handsome young man with sharp eyebrows, sharp eyes, and rosy cheeks.
Feeling refreshed.
I will never feel the emotion of being hurt by wine and sex.
After calling the maid to wash up, she was ready to have breakfast.
"Uncle, Uncle Zhongqin, General Cai, and General Dong are here." At this time, a maid entered the hall and reported.
Because during the Taizong period of the Chen Han dynasty, he had been awarded the title of Zhongyong Bo for military generals. Therefore, although Xie Zaiyi was extremely brave, he still changed the title to the word "Zhongqin" to encourage him not to slack off.
Jia Heng ordered: "Introduce people to the outer study. I will change my clothes and be there in a moment."
A few days have passed since I returned to Beijing, but I haven't seen Xie Zaiyi, Cai Quan and the others yet.
Because apart from calling people from the Jia clan to worship and pray for their ancestors, he did not hold any banquets to celebrate his elevation to the title of Duke, nor did he send out invitations widely.
The former sacrifices sacrifices to ancestors and comforts the family temple, and no one can find anything wrong with this. However, the latter seems to be flamboyant by sending out invitations widely and inviting civil and military officials to celebrate.
These are all ways to bring disaster.
The maid took Jia Heng's order and ran quickly towards the flower hall in the front yard.
In the hall, several young military attaches sat on nanmu chairs, drinking tea and waiting.
The great Han Zhongqin Bo Xie Zaiyi was now wearing military officer robes, and Shen Yi had a look of thought on his face.
In fact, since he was granted the title of Bo, Xie Zaiyi obviously felt that he was incompatible with the four bastards and eight princes of the old martial arts system of the Han Dynasty.
In the previous celebration banquet, except for the generals and commanders in the capital camp who came to celebrate, there were no civil servants or veteran martial arts officials in the court. It was obvious that there was a sense of exclusion and cold reception from the veteran martial arts forces.
This is actually due to the lack of political foundation. Even in the political map of the Han Dynasty, it was classified as Jia Heng's party.
If there is no Duke of Wei, Xie is still paying tribute to Ma Bian at the gate of the city. What do you want to do?
Xie Zaiyi thought so.
Not far away, Cai Quan was sitting upright, his face flushed and his heart inexplicably excited.
It can be said that these past few days have been a blessing in disguise. Three years ago, he was an ordinary member of a hundred households in the capital camp. Now he has been promoted to the governor and magistrate of the first camp, and his title has been promoted to baron.
Dong Qian put down the tea cup in his hand, and occasionally saw Xie Zaiyi, with a trace of envy welling up in his eyes.
This time he accompanied the army on the northern expedition. Although he made some achievements, he was not awarded a title. He filled the vacancy of a general in the Central Guard Army.
Not long after the three of them were led to the study by the maid, they heard steady and powerful footsteps coming from under the eaves of the corridor. Xie Zaiyi raised his eyes and looked at the young man in the python suit with reverence. He cupped his fists and said, "See you later."
It’s a cool holiday.”
Cai Quan and Dong Qian also approached and saluted the young man with clasped fists.
Jia Heng stepped forward to hold Xie Zaiyi's arm and said with a smile: "We are all brothers, no need to be polite."
Several people sat down again, and Xie Zaiyi said with concern in his eyes: "How did Marshal Ji deliver the words to the palace yesterday?"
Cai Quan and Dong Qian also cast doubtful glances at the young man.
This Jingying Jiedu envoy did a good job, so why did he deliver a message to the palace before? Could it be that something happened in the court?
Jia Heng looked calm and said slowly: "Some people are secretly stirring up public opinion and want to slander me. I want to be in charge of the capital camp and have more energy to take care of it. I might as well concentrate on planning side affairs and submit my resignation to the palace. But for
Rejected by the Holy Spirit."
After hearing this, Xie Zaiyi suddenly saw anger rising on his face, and said: "These civil servants, when the Eastern captives were wreaking havoc in northern Xinjiang, we didn't see them going into battle to fight with the captives. Now that the world is just peaceful, they come out to cause trouble again.
"
Mentioning this matter, Cai Quan said angrily: "In the past few days, when I went to the Ministry of War, I saw some cunning officials who spoke in strange accents. It's really hateful!"
"It's not just civil servants, there are also some founding warriors who are jealous of our brothers' victory in conquering the captives." Jia Heng said.
Xie Zaiyi's eyes flashed coldly and said: "Commander Jie means the Prince of Nan'an County?"
Jia Heng said softly: "We have won the battle and have more and more authority in military affairs. However, the Prince of Nan'an County and others see our brothers as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh."
Xie Zaiyi frowned and asked: "Unknown Commander, what are your next plans?"
Jia Heng said coldly: "Don't pay attention to them for now. We brothers will continue step by step, pacify the captives and control the barbarians. When the time is right, we will make further calculations."
Xie Zaiyi nodded and said: "Although the Donglu have gone through a war, their roots have not been damaged. They may come back after a year or two of rest. When there are more troops in the future, we will see who will be the pillar of the country!"
Cai Quan nodded and agreed: "Brother Xie is right. How much has the founding martial arts decayed over the years? Their corpses have nothing to eat, and they are jealous of talents and talents. Who knows about the civil and military affairs of the entire dynasty?"
Jia Heng pondered and said: "Recent intelligence from Jinyi Mansion shows that Donglu will cause trouble in the northwest. You have recently looked at some maps of the northwest's mountain and river geography. You may not know when they will be used."
Judging from some of the information Xiaoxiao has given him in the past two days, it is only a matter of time before the war in the northwest begins. If Nan'an County Prince and other founding warriors are defeated, the northwest will be pacified with thunderous force.
Xie Zaiyi said softly: "Jie Shuai, don't worry."
Jia Heng said: "Tomorrow, I will go to the capital camp to see a group of generals. Although we have won a great victory recently, we must not be arrogant and training must not be interrupted. I will go to the capital camp to supervise the army in the next few days."
The three of them nodded in agreement.
Jia Heng also told a few people to keep a low profile recently, took a look at the sky outside, and said: "I will go to the palace later to celebrate the Queen's birthday, so I won't keep you here any longer."
In fact, in this canon, Madam Gaoming should go to the palace to celebrate, but he also has an identity, that is, Xianning's consort, and Keqing is pregnant, so he can only go there in person.
Xie Zaiyi, Cai Quan, Dong Qian and others heard this and said goodbye.
Palace Garden, Kunning Palace
It is the Dragon Boat Festival, and today is the birthday of the Empress of the Song Dynasty. The six palaces and palaces in the harem have been decorated with lights and colors, hanging silks and drapes, creating a lively and noisy scene.
And some palace ladies in bright dresses were walking back and forth between the palaces, holding jade ruyi in their hands and carrying various teas, fruits and snacks.
The Empress of the Song Dynasty was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a beautiful appearance. Her bun was decorated with a emerald jade crown, which was majestic and gorgeous. Her delicate face showed no traces of time. Instead, after years of accumulation, her eyebrows and eyes were plump and gorgeous.
The charm flows silently.
The beauty who has given birth to two sons has a plump figure, and the full moon trembles under her fair white neck.
At this moment, Empress Song was receiving congratulations from some imperial concubines, while Concubine Duanrong and other concubines were sitting beside her to accompany her.
In addition, Mrs. Rong Guotai was also accompanied by Mrs. Wang, sitting aside with a smile, talking to several Mrs. Gaoming who were also elderly, with chicken skin and gray hair from time to time.
Princess Nan'an was not here, so she asked Princess Luo of Nan'an County to pay her respects.
"Your Majesty, Duke Wei is here." Xia Shouzhong approached, bowed and respectfully saluted Empress Song and said.
Now that Wei Guozheng is favored, the princess and the princess are favored, the Jia family is even more popular, and he has a niece. If he is promised the jade born from the Jia Jia Rong Mansion, his status in the palace will be more stable.
?
In fact, it was time for Baoyu to make a marriage arrangement, and it was better for wealthy families to get engaged earlier in the morning.
When Empress Song heard that Jia Heng had arrived, she had a beautiful face and a bright smile on her face, and softly called out: "Xuan."
Several maids in the palace also raised the screen to cover the ladies and concubines who were sitting on the embroidered piers on both sides.
Not long after, Jia Heng was wearing a black and red python suit and a wingless crown with a mountain shape on his head. Under the attention of everyone in the palace, he walked into the palace, stood upright, and bowed to the graceful beauty.
, said: "I have seen the empress, she is a thousand years old."
As for the gift list, it had just been delivered to the internal prison waiting outside the palace.
Seeing the young man in python suit who was as tall and tall as a orchid orchid tree, Empress Song felt a trace of joy in her heart for no apparent reason. She smiled sweetly and said softly, "Ziyu is free of charge."
Princess Xianning and Li Chanyue were sitting on the chairs at the bottom talking. At this moment, they all looked over with joy in their clear eyes.
Queen Song's beautiful eyes were full of concern, and she asked softly: "Ziyu, why don't you see Mrs. Qin?"
Jia Heng didn't squint his eyes and said loudly: "Going back to your Majesty, Zhuo Jing is pregnant with Liujia and her body is getting heavier. She is raising a baby at home. I am unable to pay my respects to your Majesty. Please forgive me."
He should just keep to himself. After all, the emperor treated him well.
I'd better get rid of the feeling of "Empress Song is here and she won't let her go until she has two children".
But as his eyes drooped, his eyes still staggered unavoidably on the ravine of the waxing moon.
Empress Song's beautiful face was slightly startled. Under her curved eyebrows, her eyes were as bright as water. She said softly: "What's so forgivable? It's not easy to walk around carelessly this month."
Remembering that when she was pregnant with Ran'er, she didn't dare to slack off at all, lest the child...
Well, that's fine, why is she suddenly thinking about giving birth to a baby?
The beauty quickly dismissed the thoughts in her heart, her beautiful eyes sparkling, and said: "Ziyu, the palace has made preparations for the wedding in the past few days, and I think the wedding day will also come to you. Do you have any objections?"
Jia Heng said: "Your Majesty, I am a humble minister who is ignorant of etiquette and only listens to the palace's arrangements."
"A wedding ceremony is a little different from ordinary people's marriages. The etiquette process is a bit more complicated. You should familiarize yourself with it in advance." Empress Song said very understandingly.
Jia Heng cupped his hands below and responded in a low voice.
Empress Song smiled and said, "Okay, let Xia Shouzhong explain it to you later."
At this moment, Princess Wei Yan Yiliu, who entered the palace to celebrate the birthday of Queen Song, was sitting at the bottom. The princess looked slightly haggard, and the makeup on her face could not hide the fatigue in her eyebrows. She looked at the young man, her eyes sparkling.
He blinked and let out a faint sigh.
She secretly inquired and found out that it took more than a year for the Qin family to get pregnant. It was supposed to be similar to her. Why couldn't the prince wait?
During this period, the matter of having a concubine was still being discussed.
Concubine Duanrong took over the conversation and said softly: "Ziyu, please stop standing all the time. Someone, please give me a seat."
Empress Song Qiao smiled sweetly and said softly: "You even forgot about it."
In her heart, she still feels sorry for her son-in-law.
