,!
In the inner hall
The earth dragon is burning, steaming like warm spring.
At noon in winter, the warm sunlight shines through the withered window, casting two figures, one tall and one soft, hugging each other, onto the wall, vaguely overlapping.
The eldest princess of Jinyang rolled her eyes at Jia Heng and snorted. She didn't know what the reason was. She said with a frosty look on her crystal jade face: "You don't learn well at a young age. You are just going to be a disciple. You If you dare to be disrespectful to me again, I must tell your royal brother and I will punish you... ugh~"
Just as he was saying something, two peach blossom lips were pinched again.
However, the beauty didn't know how touching her awe-inspiring and noble gesture was, caused by her own little emotions.
Perhaps Princess Jinyang, who had read many story books, had known for a long time that she was just pretending to be like this.
The eldest princess of Jinyang slowly closed her bright eyes, her thin eyelashes concealing her shyness. She held Jia Heng's shoulders with both hands and responded gently.
There is gentle wind and drizzle, and there is strong wind and rain, grabbing the sweetness bit by bit.
After a long time, until the eldest princess Jinyang was out of breath, Jia Heng slowly let go of the slender shoulders of the eldest princess Jinyang again, feeling the softness and delicacy flowing between her fingers, and the fragrance of powder floating in the nostrils, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
Reluctantly leaving that touch of softness, staring at that gentle and beautiful face, their eyes met, Jia Heng couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in his heart.
The eldest princess of Jinyang was blushing, her beautiful eyes were flowing, and she felt the undisguised infatuation for her in the eyes of the boy opposite her. Her heart was filled with sweetness and shyness, and she said angrily: "You have messed up your clothes. , there is also rouge on the mouth, and the makeup needs to be touched up...I will go to meet guests later."
As he spoke, he adjusted the front of his dress.
Jia Heng put his arms around the slender waist of Princess Jinyang and said softly: "Who makes Your Highness so charming and charming?"
Princess Jinyang's cheeks were slightly red, she grabbed Jia Heng's catching hand and said angrily: "Stop making trouble, I will have to meet guests later."
Jia Heng said in surprise: "Is he here to celebrate his birth?"
At this time, the eldest princess of Jinyang straightened her clothes and said softly: "The king of Wei, the king of Liang, and Zhi'er brought gifts to celebrate my birth. They went to the Xuan room in the inner courtyard, accompanied by Chan Yue. Now, don’t tell Chan Yue about this matter between me and you, I’m afraid she… won’t be able to accept it for a while.”
At the end of the sentence, her eyebrows were lowered and her face looked a little shy. The young man opposite her was obviously about the same age as Chan Yue, but he was now her lover.
Well, she is still a married woman, just thinking about it makes her blush and make her unable to control herself.
Chanyue, how should I look at her in the future?
Jia Heng looked at the beautiful beauty and suddenly felt shy. He grabbed the tender and slender catkins and said in a clear voice: "Well, let's just not tell her."
Princess Jinyang chuckled and responded, then suddenly said: "Actually... I can't hide it for too long."
"But how long can we hide it? How long?" Princess Jinyang continued.
Jia Heng was speechless for a moment.
Then he said, "This is His Highness's son today, and I brought a few small gifts."
After all, it was the elegant eldest princess of Jinyang who calmed down her breathing and was no longer shy. Under her two willow-leaf slender eyebrows, her bright autumn eyes were full of mist. There was actually a hint of excitement and playfulness in her gentle voice. : "I thought you had forgotten."
"How could I forget?" Jia Heng walked to the side table, looked at the three gift boxes on it, and took out a square brocade box with exquisite patterns on it.
Even though she had seen many treasures to play with in the mansion, the eldest princess was still a little curious and expectant.
However, there was a bit of anger on her charming and beautiful face, and she said, "I actually don't lack anything here."
Jia Heng had already opened the brocade box, took Princess Jinyang's jade hand and gently brought it into his arms. He hugged the beauty in pink dress from behind and whispered in his ear: "I know you don't lack anything. If you do, , maybe...it’s just me that’s missing.”
In this era, people always give me Qiongju and repay me with peach.
The eldest princess of Jinyang had never heard such earthy love words before. Her originally reddish cheeks were like drinking fine wine, and the intoxicating red color extended to her earlobes. Her heart trembled and she said angrily: "Why didn't I notice you before? So glib."
"Forehead……"
Just as he was talking, he suddenly felt a warm feeling of longing coming from his earlobe, and then a trembling numbness, like an electric shock, hit his whole body.
The beauty in the peach skirt was stunned, her expression full of disbelief.
Her pink lips were slightly open, and she let out an unconscious grunt. Her narrow, clear phoenix eyes narrowed into a thin line, and her delicate body softened by half.
Feeling embarrassed and sweet in my heart, I wanted to say a few words to scold the "disciple", but I was a little... reluctant to do so.
"Stop it……"
The eldest princess of Jinyang finally scolded her, because her neatly arranged clothes seemed to be messed up again.
At this time, Jia Heng stopped trying to catch monsters. He had always been very patient and would not eat ginseng fruit like Zhu Bajie.
He took out a ring with a gem inlaid on it and grabbed the beauty's left hand.
Princess Jinyang's hands are very slender and white, as gentle and soft as jade.
Jia Heng said warmly: "I will wear this ring for His Highness."
The eldest princess of Jinyang gave a soft "hmm" and let Jia Heng take the middle finger of her jade hand and insert it into the ring ring.
The earliest appearance of the word ring can actually be traced back to the Yuan Dynasty, and it was called a ring earlier.
The third verse in "Wangjiang Pavilion Mid-Autumn Festival" by Guan Hanqing of the Yuan Dynasty includes: "If you see that you love me in the office, just give me a ring."
Of course, it was only after the Ming Dynasty that the name ring became popular.
The general meaning may be that with a ring, there is no need for fingers.
Jia Heng said warmly: "Your Highness, it's ready."
Hearing the words, the eldest princess of Jinyang responded softly. She raised her slender hand and turned it up and down to look at it. Her eyes fell on the gem on it, and her heart was full of sweetness. She chuckled and said: "It is you who gave this ring to me." Here’s my first gift.”
Jia Heng's heart skipped a beat when he saw Princess Jinyang's shy expression.
A beautiful woman of nearly thirty years old, with a noble status, with a gentle and quiet temperament, suddenly showed a hint of the beauty and romance of a young woman in her arms. No one could resist that kind of contrast.
The eldest princess of Jinyang seemed to have noticed something strange about someone. With red cheeks, she gently broke away from Jia Heng's arms and walked towards Xiao Ji. She said softly: "Ziyu, what are the other gifts?"
Jia Heng suppressed the slightest movement in his heart and said in a clear voice: "I'll take it."
While talking, two more gift boxes, a pair of earrings, and a butterfly hosta were opened.
The eldest princess of Jinyang smiled and said: "I haven't worn these earrings for a year. This butterfly hosta...is it worn by a girl who has not left the palace? I can't wear it."
Previously, the princess was wondering whether a jade hairpin would look tender.
Jia Heng smiled and said: "Why can't your highness wear it?"
"I can't wear this kind of style. If I wear it, I'm afraid it will make people laugh." The eldest princess of Jinyang laughed lightly, thought for a moment, turned her face away, held the hosta in her hand, lowered her eyes, and said She said a little more delicately: "If you like it, I can wear it for you in private..."
Jia Heng's heart skipped a beat again, and he stepped forward as close as possible. His voice was a little harsh, and he hugged Princess Jinyang and said, "How about... I'll put it on for Your Highness."
The eldest princess of Jinyang said "hmm" and let Jia Heng put the hairpin on her hair.
Then, the two of them hugged each other and rubbed their hair together for a while. Princess Jinyang's jade face was already as gorgeous as the clouds, and she said softly: "Chanyue is still waiting at Lumingxuan. You can accompany me to meet her later. It's just the right time." The King of Wei and the King of Liang are also here. Seeing what the emperor wants, King Wei will be sent to the Military and Horse Department of the Five Cities next year to observe the government. You can get to know him well in advance so that we can work together well in the coming spring."
Jia Heng nodded, took a deep breath, straightened his face, and said loudly: "Normally, the King of Wei should go to the Sixth Division, but now he comes to the Five Cities Military and Horse Division. It's not obvious what his intention is."
"My imperial sister-in-law is here for you. You should know how to deal with this kind of thing, so I won't say more." Princess Jinyang whispered softly and emphasized. She's back to being like a close sister again.
In fact, the two are both lovers and to some extent political allies.
At this time, Lianxue called out through the bead curtain: "Your Highness, Mr. Jia, the princess has asked the maid to come over to urge you."
When the eldest princess of Jinyang heard this, Yurong paused for a moment, seemed a little panicked, looked at Jia Heng, and said softly: "Follow Lianxue first, I will go back to the wing to touch up my makeup."
After all, I have been intimate with Jia Heng for a long time, and if I don't clean up, it will be easy for someone to find out.
Jia Heng nodded and reluctantly let go of Princess Jinyang's jade hand.
But the eldest princess of Jinyang shouted "Wait a minute", her phoenix eyes shone, and her watery eyes fell on Jia Heng's face, and she said angrily: "You should just wipe the rouge on your mouth... Just let it go. , and I’m not afraid of Chan Yue seeing it.”
"Forgot." Jia Heng quickly took out his handkerchief, wiped the rouge on his mouth, frowned, turned to look at the beauty opposite, and asked, "Is there any more?"
Seeing the solemn expression on the boy's formerly stern face, and asking if there was any rouge left, the eldest princess of Jinyang was a little amused for a moment and couldn't help laughing: "I'd better do it, you have it on your nose too."
As he said that, he picked up the handkerchief and wiped it gently for Jia Heng, including his cheeks and the tip of his nose. His movements were gentle, and the smile on his face gradually faded away.
Jia Heng lowered his eyes and looked at the concentrated beauty in front of him, his eyes a little blurry for a moment.
At this moment, the beauty's gentle eyebrows and gentle movements didn't look like the coquettish and angry little woman in his arms just now?
I don't know if it was his illusion, but there was even a hint of motherhood in those gentle and watery eyes.
Jia Heng's heart moved, and he quickly suppressed the strange thoughts in his heart.
"Go, I will come over soon." Princess Jinyang smiled softly and put away the handkerchief.
Jia Heng said no more and followed Lianxue towards Lu Mingxuan.
Lu Mingxuan
This is a teahouse for guests. The floor is covered with wool carpets, and the furniture is all made of huanghuali wood. It is surrounded by famous calligraphy and paintings and antique utensils. It is simple, elegant and luxurious.
The little princess Li Chan Yuezheng and Princess Chen Zhi of Xianning were sitting on the small table beside them talking, with nine linked rings in their hands.
Not far away, the two kings of Wei and Liang were sitting on either side of a small table, sipping tea across from each other, with a chess game in the middle that had just started.
The red cannon and the black horse are vaguely visible.
On the coffee table, there is a purple clay pot and several tea cups, the heat is flowing and the fragrance is overflowing.
Li Chanyue put down the nine-ring chain, listened to the maid's story, frowned, and asked, "What is Jia Heng doing here?"
The maid said: "She said she came here to celebrate the birthday of Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Li Chanyue's face was silent, her eyes flashed, and she said noncommittally: "He is a thoughtful person."
Princess Xianning put down the tea cup in her hand, with a slightly surprised look on her cold jade face, and raised her eyes to look at Li Chanyue.
At this time, Liang Wang Chen Wei smiled and said: "This Jia Yunhui is very popular. I heard that he has made great achievements recently and was promoted to a noble title by his father. He has become a first-class General Yunhui. Now he is still He is in charge of the Guoyong Camp and is also responsible for several errands. My cousin, it was his aunt who recommended him in the first place, right?"
As Jia Heng became successful, the people in Shenjing City's connections with Jia Heng were gradually restored.
His career path came from the eldest princess of Jinyang!
This might be able to be hidden from ordinary people, but people like the Empress of Song, who were close to Emperor Chongping, and her sons, the two kings of Wei and Liang, could not hide it from them no matter what.
Li Chanyue nodded and said, "Yes."
At first, her mother led her and Jia Heng into the palace together, and then in a short period of time, this person rose to great heights and was out of control.
Princess Xianning's bright eyes moved slightly, turned to look at Wei Wang Chen Ran, and asked: "Brother Wang, how many people are there in Guoyong Camp?"
King Chen Ran of Wei put down a river-crossing cart he had picked up, ate the soldiers of King Liang, and said: "Guoyong camp is the 12th regiment camp. There are ten or twenty thousand people at the head of the camp. Jia Ziyu leads the troops well and has just been pacified." After killing the third auxiliary bandit, my father now not only puts him in charge of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, but also puts him in charge of the Guoyong Camp."
Chen Wei smiled and said: "People say that the three auxiliary thieves are all suffering from scabies. Guo Yong has a camp of 10,000 or 20,000 people and is well-equipped. How can others still defeat him?"
Wei Wang Chen Ran said: "Although that is the case, it has not been suppressed. Besides, before he could rectify it, Guoyong Camp was full of old, weak, sick and disabled people. Recently, everyone in Beijing has said that the capital camp will be rectified."
Empress Song once said that her son, King Wei, was fond of martial arts, which was obviously not an empty talk. At least she had a certain understanding of the combat capabilities of the Beijing camp.
Princess Xianning's expression paused and she said: "Last time when Dongcheng was pacified, wasn't he quite capable of fighting? One sword strike at a time, and there was no enemy that could be defeated by his sword."
Liang Wang Chen Wei chuckled lightly and said: "In the past two years, he has been in the limelight in Beijing. It is true that heroes are rare. He only made Shuzi famous."
Wei Wang Chen Ran frowned and said: "We can just talk about this in private. When people come later, we must not say this."
Liang Wang Chen Wei said with a smile: "Brother Wang, don't worry, brother Wang will go to the Wucheng Army and Horse Division next year."
King Wei said: "In fact, places like the Five Cities Military and Horse Division don't have much military services. I would like to go to Guoyong Camp, but my father won't let me."
Several Tianhuang Guiwei were discussing among themselves. Not long after, the maid from outside came into the pavilion and said softly: "Princess, Mr. Jia is here."
Upon hearing this, Li Chanyue, the princess of Qinghe County, stood up and looked around. She saw a tall and tall young man wearing a Sichuan brocade robe with bamboo leaf patterns. He walked around the screen and walked into the pavilion room under the guidance of Lianxue. .
