The next day, when the sky was bright and the morning light was shining, Jia Heng put on a python suit, led the Jinyi palace guards, and quickly left Luoyang City and headed for Tongguan.
On the Guangtong Canal from Shenjing to Luoyang, accompanied by the sound of water flowing, a tall and beautifully decorated fortune ship, as tall as a city, headed for Tongguan under the escort of seven or eight ships.
Because she was escorting one million taels of silver from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to support Henan, the eldest princess of Jinyang called a fortune ship from the carriage and boat shop. In addition, there were thousands of elite soldiers escorting them on five ships. At the same time, there were Qingqi from the Beijing camp along the river bank. On alert, there is a heavy escort in case of any eventuality.
At this moment, the eldest princess of Jinyang stood in front of the window of a boat room on the second floor, looking through the window at the sparkling river under the setting sun. A faint thought appeared between her beautiful and gorgeous eyebrows, and the golden sunset filtered through. The Xuan window shines on the beauty's graceful and white face, and the charming charm at the corners of her eyebrows and eyes is somewhat softened, becoming soft and holy.
Not far away, next to a plan, the embroidered pier is covered with thick soft mattresses. Li Chanyue, the princess of Qinghe, sits quietly. The girl is wearing an emerald red rhombus dress. She has pink temples and a cloudy hair. She has a pretty face and childish teeth. Holding a book of piano music, he read it attentively. From time to time, he stretched out his hand to strum the guzheng in front of him, and occasionally made a "ding dong" sound.
The eldest princess of Jinyang turned her head, her beautiful and gratuitous jade face was a little helpless, and said: "If you want to play, just play. If you flick it from time to time, it will make people upset."
"Mother." Li Chanyue heard the words and called out. She quickly stopped her fingers and looked at the eldest princess of Jinyang. Her pink lips twitched and she couldn't help but said, "Mother is upset, so you can't blame me."
The eldest princess of Jinyang, with her eyebrows slightly raised, her jade face covered with frost, her phoenix eyes shining coldly, stared at Li Chanyue, "Huh?"
Li Chanyue quickly lowered her head and timidly said, "Mom, it's my fault."
"If I had known I wouldn't have brought you here, you would have spoken back and made me angry." Princess Jinyang looked at the soft and weak Li Chanyue and couldn't get too angry. The frost on her face disappeared and she said angrily.
Li Chanyue stood up and walked closer, hugging the eldest princess of Jinyang. Xiaohe, who had just revealed her sharp horns, pressed against the back of the eldest princess of Jinyang and said softly: "Mother, it's my fault. I shouldn't mess with my mother." angry."
The eldest princess of Jinyang was stunned, she sighed faintly, and said: "It has nothing to do with you. There is someone else who made my mother angry. Wait a minute, your cousin... I don't know if she can come over." .”
"Your Highness." At this moment, a voice as gentle as water came through a hanging bead curtain. Yuanchun came slowly into the cabin, stood on the carpet, and looked at the graceful beauty. Unable to conceal his joy, he said: "Your Highness, the ship ahead is approaching Tongguan. Just now Fei Ge from Jinyi Mansion sent a message saying that Brother Heng has come to meet us."
The eldest princess of Jinyang was overjoyed when she heard this. She turned around in a hurry, almost causing the little princess holding her back to stumble. She let out an ouch, but was touched.
The eldest princess of Jinyang was very anxious. She turned around and looked at Li Chanyue who was rubbing Qiong's nose in her hand. Seeing that she was fine, she frowned and said, "What are you doing holding me? Are you okay?"
Li Chanyue looked at Princess Jinyang aggrievedly and whispered: "Mother...I, I'm fine."
Sure enough, when she heard that Mr. Jia was coming to pick her up, she even forgot about it.
The eldest princess of Jinyang pulled Li Chanyue over. Seeing that the girl was fine, she looked at Yuan Chun. Her beautiful face smiled lightly and whispered: "I thought it was time for him to arrive."
I don’t know if he will pick him up by himself or if he will bring Xian Ning with him. He will see Xian Ning later, huh...
The yellow-haired little girl who hugged her naked butt when she was a child, now dares to compete with her.
As the eldest princess of Jinyang spoke, she invited Yuan Chun to sit on the embroidered pier beside the round table, and asked in surprise: "Where are your two younger sisters?"
That day I saw two little girls from his family, Tanchun and Xiangyun. As Chan Yue had said before, one was innocent and the other was beautiful and delicate.
Yuan Chun said softly: "The two of them took a nap at noon. When they woke up, they stayed in the cabin to read and play. I will call them over soon."
Princess Jinyang nodded, turned to look at Li Chanyue, and said with a smile: "Chanyue, don't stay alone, go play with the two of them, you little girls
Son, there should be a lot to say when we are together. "
Li Chanyue whispered: "Yes." Then she led the maid there.
After Li Chanyue left, the eldest princess of Jinyang looked up at Yuanchun and said, "When we arrive in Luoyang, we can go see the peonies. The peonies are in full bloom at this time. I have several shops selling flowers and trees." business, and there is also a garden that we can take a look at together."
Yuanchun picked up the teapot and poured a cup for the beauty opposite.
Princess Jinyang asked, "You haven't been to Luoyang since you followed him, right?"
Yuan Chunyu's cheeks were slightly red, her eyebrows were slightly drooped, and she said softly: "I haven't been here very often." In fact, she had only been with him for a short time, and she couldn't talk about walking around. She entered the palace at a very young age, let alone Where have you played?
"While you're young, walk around more. Some of the travelogues and prose written by our predecessors have recorded famous mountains, rivers, and lakes. You can go for a walk if you have time. In fact, your old lady also visited many places when she was young." The eldest princess of Jinyang picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and looked at the beauty opposite her with soft eyes.
Yuan Chun said softly: "When we get to Luoyang, if Brother Heng is not too busy, it might as well go for a walk."
The longer I stayed with this princess, the more I realized how lucky Hengdi was to be favored by this noble lady of the clan.
Go back and tell him that no matter what, you must treat Princess Jinyang well, and you cannot let anyone down.
Well, I can't let her down.
The eldest princess of Jinyang was silent for a moment, and suddenly said with emotion: "When you have a child, it will not be very convenient for you to come out in the future."
"Child?" Yuan Chun was just thinking wildly when he suddenly heard this. His heart skipped a beat and his face turned red.
Princess Jinyang took Yuan Chun's hand and whispered, "Yuan Chun, I want to ask you something. At that time before you... was he outside or inside?"
Although the beauty has a broad mind and her voice is as light as a mosquito, her meaning is still very clear.
When Yuanchun heard this, he saw surprise in his eyes at first. After a moment, he realized when those soft and watery eyes met each other. His face, which was as red as a stamen, was as red as blood. He felt that his delicate body became soft and trembled. After a few words, he whispered: "Your Highness, why do you ask this?"
So shameful to say.
Looking at Yuanchun, who had drooped eyebrows and was extremely shy, the eldest princess of Jinyang whispered: "I feel that if you are pregnant in a year and a half, you will have to carry a big belly."
Yuanchun's delicate body trembled, and she said softly: "Your Highness."
She has a big belly...it's all there in the picture. But there was only bursts of sweetness in my heart.
However, my mother will probably go crazy by then. My mother has always had a grudge against Hengdi, and seeing her holding on like this...
The eldest princess of Jinyang had a graceful face and whispered: "Yuan Chun, you said that every time he... But I didn't see any movement in my stomach. I thought that the Qin family seemed to have lived in the family for a while, and my stomach... There's no movement at all, maybe something happened to him?"
Yuan Chun frowned, his face changed slightly at first, and he said softly: "Your Highness, Brother Heng, he doesn't usually behave like... he always bothers... shouldn't he?"
Her body was so weak every time she struggled, and she didn't look like there was anything wrong with her body.
The eldest princess of Jinyang frowned and said in a low voice: "Yes, he is as strong as a cow. Let's ask when we see him."
In fact, he is just as strong as an ox, because he has been strong since he was born in two lives, and the body fusion is still in progress. Only when the strength is completely stabilized can the spirit, energy, and spirit be complete.
Yuanchun thought for a while and said with relief: "We can't rush this. Besides, His Highness is in a hurry to have a child?"
The eldest princess of Jinyang, Jade Rong, was in a trance for a moment, and said softly: "I'm not in a hurry. Even though I'm getting older, I still want to raise a child. At least when I miss him, there will be someone around to listen to what I have to say. In fact, raising children is quite interesting. When Chanyue was little, she was quite well-behaved and cute."
As I got older, I stopped being so well-behaved and cute, and started to become naughty and mischievous.
And she also needs to tie him down. With more and more people around him, will he still be able to take her into his heart in the future? Again
Ten or twenty years later, how old is she?
That's all, don't think about it.
After all, this noble daughter of the clan had seen how her father, Emperor Longzhi, had many concubines in the palace when he was young. With the incident of Princess Xianning this time, it was inevitable that her thoughts would rise.
Yuanchun thought for a while and said, "That's right. If you don't have children, you're always missing something."
In other words, she also... also gave birth to a child?
.....
.....
But on the other side, Tanchun and Xiangyun were on the boat, looking through the windows at the scenery on both sides of the Guangtong Canal. It was late spring, and in summer, the weather was completely warm, and the setting sun shone on both sides of the canal, which was undulating and verdant. The mountains make me feel relaxed and happy.
"Third sister, look at those two sides, and over there." Xiangyun's face was as bright as a red cloud, with a look of joy on her face, and she pointed to the scenery by the river and said.
Tan Chun was reading attentively with a book at the moment. It was the "Three Kingdoms" storybook written by Jia Heng. In the past few days, he had been reading it while sailing to relieve the boredom of the journey. He chuckled and said, "Sister Yun, you have read it all. It’s been a long journey, it’s been a long journey, aren’t you tired?”
No matter how fresh the scenery is, you will get tired of it if you see it too much.
At this time, Tanchun brought one of the two maids to serve as a bookkeeper. She was helping Tanchun fold her clothes in front of the bed. She chuckled and said, "Miss Yun is like a bird out of its cage, flying around, looking at everything fresh." .”
Xiangyun's maid Cui Lu, wearing a green vest, came from the hall, holding a tray with two cups of tea on it, she smiled softly and said: "Girl, let's have a sip of tea, I've been shouting for a long time. , I guess you should be thirsty."
Xiangyun said "hmm", took the tea cup, took a sip, picked up the handkerchief and wiped his mouth, got up and walked through the window, came to Tanchun, chuckled and said, "I came out just for fun this time. , anyway, I’m not in a hurry to talk to Brother Heng about military affairs.”
"You...you peeked at my letter, and you dared to make fun of me." Tan Chun put down the book, looked at Xiangyun angrily, and said with embarrassment.
"Third sister takes it out to read every day when she has free time. Yesterday I took a left glance and today I took a right glance. Even if I didn't want to look, I could still read a few sentences." Xiangyun said with a smile.
Tan Chun snorted softly and whispered: "I don't know who has been clamoring to wait in Luoyang these days and let Brother Heng take her riding horses in the countryside. Thinking about her, she talked in her sleep at night."
Hearing this, Xiangyun felt as if his inner thoughts had been revealed, and his heart was shaken. Xiafei's cheeks and brows were full of shame and annoyance, and he murmured: "Who...who is talking in his sleep."
"Then who whispered in his dream last night, Brother Heng, ride slower, you will hit me..." Tan Chunfu whispered in his ear, but there was suspicion on his face.
She hasn't figured out what this means in the past few days? She dreamed of riding a horse with Brother Heng. It was nothing. She had done it before...
After all, it was Brother Heng who taught the two of them to ride horses. It was normal to dream about it, but what did it mean afterward?
Xiangyun was completely ashamed when he heard this, his cheeks were as red as fire, and he said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I...dream about this?"
The following words became weaker and weaker, and she was already extremely embarrassed. She didn't know what dream she had yesterday, but she just felt ashamed when she thought about it.
Along the way, the two slept in the same bed and often talked and laughed. Their friendship was closer than before.
In fact, as long as they sleep in the same bed together, the friendship between men and women will become much closer.
Tanchun took Xiangyun's hand and whispered: "Okay, no one of us is allowed to make fun of or promote narrow-mindedness."
Xiangyun said "hmm", it was clear that they had just "hurt each other", and the thin-skinned Xiangyun really couldn't resist.
Tanchun said: "Sister Yun has always been narrow-minded these days. I don't know who she learned this from."
Xiangyun smiled and suddenly said: "Of course I learned it from Sister Lin." Tan Chun: "..."
And Daiyu became the source of happiness for both of them at this moment.
"If Sister Lin were here, I would have to tear your mouth out." Tan Chun said with an angry smile, and put aside the matter just now, and suddenly sighed and said: "Before I leave that day
In the evening, Sister Lin came over to the room and told me that she actually wanted to visit Henan and see the peonies in Luoyang. She said that she had never been to Luoyang before. "
The smile on Xiangyun's plateau-red apple face faded slightly, and she said softly: "My aunt will not agree. Sister Lin has been in Beijing for many years, but she can only stay at home to play. Compared to me, , she is like a caged bird."
Not only is she staying in Rongguo Mansion like a caged bird, but there is only Baoyu spinning around in front of her eyes. In the world without Jia Heng, to put it harshly, she is more like Baoyu's child bride.
"Miss Lin was fine before. She was still on the road before going to Kyoto." Cui Wei took the two girls' empty teacups and said softly.
Xiangyun frowned, glanced at Cuixi with his big and smart eyes, and said softly: "That time I came from Yangzhou, I didn't want to see the scenery along the way."
Although the girl is charming and naive, she is more compassionate than anyone else. When Daiyu's mother passed away, she only went to Beijing, and she had no intention of playing around.
The servant folded the clothes in his hands and put them in the wardrobe aside. This maid, who had a cheerful temperament and was said by Sister Feng that every master must have his own servant, changed the topic softly and said: "Not only Miss Lin is envious, but also several rooms in the house." Which maid here doesn’t envy us for being able to go out for a walk this time, and this time, it’s all thanks to the eldest girl.”
As a serving maid, she can also go out to see the world and visit the eastern capital of Luoyang, which naturally arouses the envy of the other maids.
But this time, Shishu and Cuimo came with Tanchun, and the maid next to Xiangyun was Cuilu.
Tan Chunying's bright eyebrows showed reflection, and she whispered: "Sister Yun, tell me where Brother Heng is now."
I couldn't help but think of that letter in my heart. After everything was done, we returned home and talked about military opportunities together at the west window.
Xiang Yun had a rare serious look on his face and said, "I guess I'm on my way to Tongguan. I heard from Sister Lianxue earlier that Brother Heng sent flying pigeons to deliver the message, and we exchanged messages after half a day. Carrying a message.”
Tanchun said, "I think it's coming soon. Shishu, go and have a look with Cuixi." As soon as the two of them left, the cabin would be empty.
When Tanchun saw that there was no one around, he leaned close to Xiangyun's ear. There was a hint of curiosity in Yingxiu's eyebrows, and he lowered his voice and said, "Sister Yun, what do you think is going on between the eldest princess and Brother Heng?"
She was also quite curious about this matter. The noble eldest princess felt that she valued Brother Heng very much.
"What's going on?" Xiangyun frowned, blinked, and said softly: "In the past two days, I heard that the little princess often mentioned Brother Heng."
It was obvious that the girl was not just interested in having fun and paid no attention to external affairs.
Tan Chun Yingxiu's pretty eyebrows furrowed and she whispered, "It's a little unusual. She and I were talking about the Three Kingdoms dialects, and she never strayed from Mr. Jia's words."
Brother Heng has a sister-in-law. Even if the princess comes over, there is no place for her in the mansion.
I don't know why, but this is also the reason why I haven't been playing around with the little princess these days.
Xiangyun Pingguo's round face showed a rare expression of serious thought. After a while, he shook his head and said, "I don't know about that, but it's not our concern. Just let Brother Heng worry about it."
At this moment, a curtain outside was lifted, revealing a girl wearing a crimson armor with a light purple and gray background and an embroidered collar, a light green skirt, and a green lotus-colored embroidered sweat scarf around her neck. It was Xi Ren.
Xiren smiled and said, "Third Miss, Miss Yun, the little princess is here looking for you."
This time, Yuanchun came out. As the maid in Yuanchun's house, Xiren took the initiative to ask Ying to come with Baoqin to take care of Yuanchun.
Jia Mu also knew that Xi Ren was always very considerate, so she specifically told Yuan Chun to take Xi Ren with him so that he could take care of Xiang Yun and Tan Chun.
After a while, the little princess Li Chanyue entered the cabin and looked at Tanchun and Xiangyun.
The two little girls got up from the bed one after another and looked at the girl opposite. Yingying said politely: "I have met the princess."
Li Chanyue chuckled lightly and said, "You two sisters, you don't need to be polite in private."
After all, she is the daughter of a martial artist who is a close relative of the country. She is no different from ordinary people.
There are many people who get along intimately with the royal eldest daughter in private, without too much red tape.
Li Chanyue sat down and said softly: "We are going to Tongguan soon. Mr. Jia should be here to pick us up later."
Tanchun nodded, his bright eyes flashed, and he said to himself, "Mr. Xiao Jia" again. After that, he and Xiangyun chatted with the little princess.
.....
.....
Time flies by like water.
On this day, it was in the afternoon, the spring was beautiful, the willows were lingering, and a lucky boat on the Guangtong Canal rode the wind and waves and traveled along the river.
Beside a ferry in front of Tongguan, dozens of horsemen were lined up under an old poplar tree, wearing bright clothes and angry horses, hunting with flags and flags, looking into the distance.
Jia Heng sat upright on the horse, holding the reins in one hand and building a pergola under his eyebrows with the other to block the somewhat dazzling summer sun. He looked far into the distance, but saw that the Liao Kuo river was empty and there was not a single boat in sight.
He put down his hand and looked away, thinking about how to explain to Jinyang later, or how to deal with it.
Is it lenient for those who confess, or lenient for those who resist?
Speaking of which, he was the one who took the initiative to let Princess Xianning accompany her. Now that Li Zhi is ready, he has to bear a large part of the responsibility.
A horse's head behind him was General Liu Fucun, the guard general of Tongguan. He looked at the young man respectfully and said in a low voice, "Sir, Tongguan has packed up the posthouse for the imperial envoys to come and stay."
The Ministry of Internal Affairs' official notification along the route only stated that the imperial envoy was passing through the border and did not mention the eldest princess of Jinyang.
Jia Heng's face paused, and he said in a deep voice: "Business matters are urgent, and the official ship in Beijing will not stop. I will escort the ship down the river to Luoyang later."
Liu Fucun also knew that the hospitality in Tongguan was too simple and shabby, so he didn't hesitate after hearing this and said with a smile: "Then the general will send you the imperial envoy and your lord respectfully."
Jia Heng nodded and praised: "General Liu Shen is determined." Liu Fucun smiled and said: "My lord, you have defeated the weakest general."
"Sir, the fleet is here." As the two of them were talking, Liu Jixian, a member of the Qianhu family in brocade clothes who had climbed up three to five miles away to look up, led a few horses and came from the elm-lined river embankment, whipping high. said the voice.
After hearing this, Jia Heng looked at the river in front of him again, his face slightly startled, and he saw several small black dots faintly visible at the end of his vast sight. After a while, they gradually enlarged, and it was clear that several ships were breaking through the water. Overjoyed, he said to Liu Jixian on the side: "Go and raise the flag to signal the fleet."
Liu Jixian responded to the order, then turned the horse's head, and with a "drive" sound, he urged the horse under his crotch, led several guards in royal robes, and rode towards the lucky ship.
At that time, the eldest princess of Jinyang was in the cabin of the lucky boat, sitting alone in front of the window, looking at the album in her hand under the afternoon sun. With a ray of soft sunlight, she could vaguely see the two yellowing pictures on the album. The figures, one man and one woman, have strange postures and fit closely together, lifelike.
This beauty never let go of the book, absorbing knowledge eagerly. As the saying goes, the book will be used only when it is used.
At this moment, Lianxue called out through the beaded curtain outside: "Your Highness, Uncle Yongning has arrived and is on the embankment right now."
The eldest princess of Jinyang was stunned at first, and a thought quickly flashed in her mind, who is Uncle Yongning?
Perhaps it was because of some of the meanings in Jia Heng's title that the beauty didn't like it, and deep down in her heart, the conditioned reflexive connection between Yong Ning Bo and Jia Heng was equal.
However, when Princess Jinyang reacted, her face paused slightly, she quickly closed the book in her hand, put it in a hidden place in the cabin, made a face, and went towards the hall.
As soon as he arrived at the hall, he saw Yuanchun coming towards him from another corridor, with a plump, pink face and a broad smile. His voice could not conceal his excitement and he said, "Your Highness, he is here."
The eldest princess of Jinyang nodded her head, her face was actually a bit calmer, even covered with a layer of mist and clear frost, she said in a quiet voice: "Just say that I am taking a nap and have no time to see him."
Saying that, without saying much, Yingying turned around and returned to the cabin again. Yuanchun: "...."
After being stunned for a while, he realized that this should be an attitude for Hengdi.
"Sister
Sister, is Brother Heng here? "At this time, Xiangyun's voice pulled Yuanchun back from his strange thoughts.
Apparently, Tanchun and Xiangyun in other rooms also heard the news that Jia Heng was coming to greet him, so they also led the maids out of the cabin one after another and came to the hall of Fuchuan to greet him.
Not long after, a small boat was sent from the lucky boat, carrying Jia Heng.
