But on the other side, King Beijing returned to the Shui family's house in Jinling. As one of the four princes and eight princes, the Shui family also had their ancestral home in the Shui family.
Beijing Wang Shuirong came to the backyard and asked a female official: "Where is the princess?"
"Your Majesty, the princess is in the backyard right now." The female officer did not dare to neglect and said.
Shui Rong nodded and without saying anything else, he stood tall and walked to the backyard.
At this moment, Princess Zhen Xue of Beijing is writing calligraphy with a brush in the study room in the east wing of the courtyard where she lives in the backyard. This is the princess's hobby, and she seems to be able to forget all her worries while writing.
Prince Beijing stood by a blue mica screen and looked at it for a while, then called: "Princess."
From a man's perspective, the princess is dignified and gentle.
"Your Majesty, when did you come back?" Zhen Xue's subordinates paused and immediately stained the jade-white rice paper. Her beautiful eyes were condensed as she looked at the young king and asked.
I don’t know why, but even though we haven’t seen each other for only a few months, there is an indescribable alienation and estrangement.
King Beijing smiled and said, "I just arrived too."
After saying that, he found a chair with a backrest and sat down beside the round table. He waved his hand to stop Zhen Xue who was about to pour tea, and whispered: "Xinxin is still at Ziyu's house?"
If you want to realize what you want, you must first appeal to the princess.
The princess had a gentle temperament and obeyed his words. Although he and the princess were only a nominal couple these years, she was loyal and consistent.
Of course, you may think this is too shocking and difficult to accept.
Zhen Xue nodded, and while picking up the teapot and pouring tea for Prince Beijing, she said, "Xinxin said she would stay with her godfather for a few days. I thought there was no girl of her age at home, so I didn't stop."
Prince Beijing said: "There are more girls of the same age in the Ningguo Mansion. It's okay to let Xinxin play there. I haven't taken care of Xinxin very much in these years, so you two have suffered a lot in the house."
When Zhen Xue heard this, her heart was slightly shaken. She looked at King Beijing with her soft and beautiful eyes, and asked curiously: "Why did the prince say this?"
If she had heard King Beijing say this in the past, Zhen Xue would have been greatly moved and wanted to cry. But at this moment, she was a little confused. What was she saying so suddenly?
King Beijing thought for a while and said in a clear voice: "Over the years, the princess and Xinxin have been very angry with the concubine in the palace because of the male affairs. I saw this matter, but I did not take action to protect her. "
As soon as these words came out, Zhen Xue's expression on her white and greasy face couldn't help but change a little. She clenched the handkerchief in her hand and said softly: "Your Majesty."
It turned out that he knew all the ups and downs and undercurrents in the palace and back house in recent years.
King Beijing looked at the young woman Hua Xin who looked a little astonished. He breathed a sigh of relief and said softly: "Princess, I have been sorry for you all these years."
He thought about getting up and hugging Zhen Xue, but after thinking about it, he gave up. Now he could no longer smell the fragrance of powder.
Zhen Xue also thought of all the grievances in the past, with tears in her beautiful eyes, and said softly: "The prince usually takes concubines, and I don't stop him, but my mother-in-law has always misunderstood me."
Thinking of some of the unpleasant words she said in the mansion, Zhen Xue felt a little sad.
There was a trace of emotion on the young and handsome face of King Beijing, and he said: "My mother didn't know what was going on and thought it was the princess's fault. In fact, it was the princess who took on all these gossips for me."
Zhen Xue's face was as pale as paper, and she shed tears of grievance. She pursed her pink lips and was speechless for a moment, listening to King Beijing's words.
In recent years, although Zhen Xue has a weak temperament, she also has some speculations on this matter.
King Beijing put down the tea cup and said softly: "I have read that the doctor may not have any children in his life. My mother is also worried about heirs and the inheritance of the title in the future. She originally wanted to adopt the family, but my mother probably has no children either. Will be willing.”
Concubine Beijing would definitely not want to lose this kind of title to a side branch. Instead, she believed that Zhen Xue had seduced her son. She said she could not give birth to a child, so she would not let anyone get close to her son.
When Zhen Xue heard this, her expression paused, she stared at King Beijing, and asked softly: "Your Majesty, where do you start talking about this?"
King Beijing's lips twitched, and he didn't know where to start. He thought for a moment and said softly: "What does the princess think of Zi Yu?"
Zhen Xue: "???"
Shui Rong endured the strange feeling in his heart, sat down nearby, and said: "I see Jia Zi Yucheng as a hero of the world, as if he borrowed it..."
After all, what she said later was a bit shocking, but she had to tell Zhen Xue about this matter, otherwise it would be difficult to say that she was pregnant if she did it once or twice.
Finally, he made up his mind and said everything on his mind. He looked at Zhen Xue with burning eyes and said, "This is the best of both worlds."
Zhen Xuefang's heart was slightly shaken, and she looked at Shui Rong in disbelief with a face as gentle as water.
Could it be that the prince sensed something and deliberately tried to challenge him?
However, then I heard Shui Rong say softly: "Zi Yu and I have made an appointment. We plan to host a banquet for Zi Yu the night after tomorrow to test his thoughts. The princess also..."
Zhen Xue's beautiful and soft oval face was covered with red clouds. She was almost blushing with embarrassment. She scolded Qing for interrupting Shui Rong and said, "Your Majesty, this method is too ridiculous."
She originally planned to get the prince drunk with Ziyu, but who could tell her what was going on? The prince actually wanted her to take the initiative to seduce Zi Yu?
Shui Rong's handsome and fair face also showed a bit of shame, and he lowered his voice and said: "Princess, I also know that this is ridiculous, but I have been unable to get out of the house all these years, and this is the only way to block the clan. Otherwise, it will be difficult to secure the title of king in the future, and I will become a sinner of the Shui family, and I will not have the face to comfort my ancestors."
Zhen Xue thought to herself, how can you comfort your ancestors by changing the day and night like this?
After thinking about it, a blush of embarrassment appeared on her snow-white cheeks, and she said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, since Jia Ziyu is a hero of the world, how can he be at the mercy of your Majesty..."
The beauty said, feeling a little confused.
Although she had already fallen in love with Ziyu early on, it was a trick of fate. But now that the prince is her husband, how could he give his wife as a gift...
Shui Rong's face paused and he said softly: "Princess, so I will discuss it with the princess first, wait until the night after tomorrow, and then test Jia Ziyu's mind. If he is interested, the princess can gain something after working hard all these years. I don't mind. .”
In fact, if Shui Rong's mind is sharper, he will discover his wife's secret. For example, according to Zhen Xue's temperament, she should resist with words when she hears such shocking words.
But in fact, with Zhen Xue's gentle temperament, it is difficult to disobey Shui Rong's attitude.
Zhen Xue's face was slightly red, and her heart was filled with unspeakable shame. Her delicate body trembled, and she whispered: "My lord, this is simply... so inappropriate."
Shui Rong sighed, with a look of sadness on his brows, and said, "Princess, otherwise, where will we be talking about when we inherit the title in the future?"
Zhen Xue frowned and said in a low voice: "The prince is still young. You can check with the doctor. If you take a concubine again, you will have children within one or two years."
She can't do it here, this body and mind already belong to Ziyu.
Shui Rong waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "There is no need to mention concubinage. Otherwise, even if you marry a general, you will be like a princess and stay alone in the empty boudoir. What's the point?"
Zhen Xue felt powerless to refute for a moment. She looked at Shui Rong, who was determined to eat the weight, and moved her lips and said, "Your Majesty, this..."
Shui Rong's face softened a little, and he looked at the beauty in a simple blue dress, and said softly: "Princess, dress up the day after tomorrow. Ziyu is a young hero, but since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauty."
Zhen Xue: "???"
The prince asked her to dress up and seduce Zi Yu? Is that what you mean?
Just when the couple was silent and embarrassed in various ways, the servant came to report, Shui Yu came.
Shui Rong stood up and said, "Princess, please wait here while I go to see my fourth uncle."
Zhen Xue watched Shui Rong leave, feeling confused for a moment. The night after tomorrow, she was going to resort to such a trick to conceal the truth. The prince suddenly had this idea again. What should she do?
By the way, I'm looking for Ziyu tomorrow to discuss it. It just so happens that Xinxin is also at Ningguo's house. She goes to see the child.
Jinling, Ningguo Mansion
In the courtyard where Daiyu was, Jia Heng had already slowly lowered the curtains from the golden hooks, forming a small world of his own. When the light dimmed, a quiet and ambiguous atmosphere suddenly came from all directions, covering up Daiyu's shyness. Also hidden.
After a long time...
Jia Heng's expression paused slightly, and he coughed slightly. His eyes focused on the fine tassels on the edge of the curtain again, and he was in a daze.
Compared with the first time, the Crimson Pearl Immortal Grass that he had mentioned had undoubtedly improved by leaps and bounds and knew how to please him.
Jia Heng looked at Daiyu who came out of the bed. The girl's face was as beautiful as a February peach and plum blossoms, and her face was flushed. Her eyebrows were shy, like a heron rising from the stars. She handed over the handkerchief and said warmly: "Thank you for your hard work, sister."
Daiyu is indeed the most affectionate person he has ever seen. This is the lonely forest of a fairyland in another world.
Daiyu's crystal-clear jade cheeks were as red as clouds, and her bright starry eyes had long since turned into mist. She fixedly looked at the young man and took the handkerchief.
Jia Heng called to Zicuckoo through the curtain, "Zicuckoo, bring me a cup of tea."
Zicuckoo lowered her hands behind the screen in the outer room, waiting for instructions, and was also helping the two of them look out for the wind. At this time, seeing the curtains covering the room, she couldn't see what the two people were doing in the inner room, but she could roughly guess some.
After hearing Jia Heng's instructions, he brought over a cup of tea and handed it over through the curtain.
Daiyu took the teacup, put it to her glossy lips, drank all the tea in the teacup, and then leaned her flaming face into Jia Heng's arms and said angrily: "Brother Heng knows how to do it Making things difficult for people.”
Jia Heng smiled and said, "My sister gave me a hard time just now."
When Daiyu heard this, her cheeks immediately flew up, her slender hands clenched into pink fists and she lightly hit Jia Heng's chest, saying angrily: "Brother Heng is making fun of people again."
Jia Heng gently stroked Daiyu's slender shoulder and said softly: "Sister, let Zijuan and Xiren buy some specialties on the street these days, and bring them to the old lady and the others when they return to Beijing."
He also wanted to buy some things to send to Keqing, Third Sister You and Miaoyu.
Daiyu raised her face with the blush still lingering, and said in a worried tone: "Brother Heng is going back this time to escort the captive Jurchen Prince?"
Jia Heng said: "They were escorted to Beijing to be punished. However, the Jurchens sent people from Peiping to sue for peace. There may be some disputes. The war with the Jurchens will be the main busy thing in the next few years. I will make more contributions in the future." , I will marry my sister when the time comes, but my sister will have to wait another two or three years."
Now that they have reached this point of pleasing each other, it really can't end without marrying Daiyu.
Daiyu listened to the boy's heartbeat and said softly: "Brother Heng, I am willing to wait for you."
Jia Heng has always been tired of being with Daiyu and being with the Scarlet Pearl Immortal Grass, but he can never be tired of it.
It was not until dusk that Jia Heng left the wing where Daiyu was, thought for a while, and went to the courtyard where Baoqin was.
In the side room, Baoqin was playing with a pipa. His chubby little hands kept playing with the strings of the pipa. Nona looked at the instrument in Baoqin's hand curiously and said, "Is this a pipa? How strange. Musical instrument, are you easy to learn?"
Bao Qin is not only good at writing poetry, as his name suggests, he is also proficient in several musical instruments. In the past few days, he and Nona have been showing off Chinese classical instruments.
At the same time, the ink paintings by Zhen Xi and other girls amazed this classical Western beauty. Art and beauty have no borders.
Bao Qin chuckled and said: "This is not easy to learn. It took me a long time to learn it well."
Nona said: "I heard a strange musical instrument last time. People said it was a suona."
Bao Qin smiled and said: "I can't play that."
"Girl, Uncle Heng is here." The maid outside said softly as she entered the room.
Hearing this, Baoqin put down his pipa, with joy on his chubby face, and called out: "Brother Heng, you are here."
Not long after, Jia Heng entered the courtyard, looked at the young man opposite, and said softly: "Where is sister Baoqin playing the pipa?"
The pipa string talks about lovesickness, but who knows if the string breaks?
Bao Qin nodded, looked at the young man with joy in his eyes, and said, "I'm bored for a while, so I played two pieces of music to relieve my boredom. Brother Heng, why are you so free?"
Jia Heng looked at Nona aside and said, "Miss Nona, are you still in the habit of living in the mansion recently?"
Nona nodded towards Jia Heng and said with a smile: "It's quite lively here, even more lively than Haojing Governor's Mansion. I wonder when will His Highness the Earl leave to return to your capital?"
Jia Heng said: "It's been a few days and it will be colder over there in Shenjing. Miss Nona, please bring more clothes."
Baoqin looked at the young man with a chuckle and said, "Brother Heng, I heard from Sister Tanchun that you made a telescope that can be used to see far away."
Jia Heng said: "It's a kind of telescope. It was originally used for fighting when two armies were facing each other. It seemed to be able to see people's faces clearly from a distance of three to five miles."
After giving the monocular telescope in his hand to Xiaoxiao, he later picked up a few more. They kept them in the study that day. After Tanchun took a look at them, he probably told Xiangyun about them.
Baoqin showed curiosity on his face and said, "Can I have a look at the telescope?"
Jia Heng said softly: "Leave it in my study for you to look at later."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Nona stood up and said, "You guys talk first, I will go back to the room to rest first."
Jia Heng looked at the chubby girl opposite, Xue Li's white face seemed to have a hint of hesitation.
Jia Heng looked thoughtful and said, "Sister Baoqin, do you have something to tell me?"
Xue Baoqin's lips moved, but he stopped talking and said softly: "Brother Heng, I just want to ask you something."
Jia Heng caught the serious look on the girl's eyebrows, and some speculations came to his mind, and he said, "What's going on?"
Under Baoqin's beautiful eyebrows, her longing apricot eyes flickered slightly. She came closer and lowered her voice and said, "Did Brother Heng have a lifelong contract with my cousin?"
When Jia Heng heard this, he secretly thought that indeed, he looked at Bao Qin and asked with a smile: "Where did my sister hear this from?"
Baoqin's cheeks were slightly red and her voice was a little strange. She said softly: "In the past few days, I have seen that my cousin and Brother Heng are very close."
In the past few days, due to the female rivalry between Daiyu and Baochai, the subtle atmosphere has also allowed girls with keen minds such as Tanchun, Baoqin and Zhenlan to see some clues.
Jia Heng smiled and looked at the plump girl with peach cheeks and almond eyes. He felt a little amused and said, "If you put it this way, Sister Baoqin and I are pretty close. Is it also determined for life?"
When Bao Qin heard this, her cheeks were as red as rouge, and she said angrily, "Brother Heng, it's better not to be that one."
She and Brother Heng have a life-long commitment, this...
Jia Heng looked a little more serious and said, "Your sister Baochai is in love with me."
In front of my sister-in-law, there is nothing I dare not admit.
Baoqin's heart trembled slightly after being confirmed by Jia Heng's words. She took one of Jia Heng's arms and said in surprise: "Brother Heng, you..."
Jia Heng looked at the girl and thought to himself, she is really a chubby girl.
He looked at Baoqin with gentle eyes and said, "Sister Baoqin, why don't you call your brother-in-law to listen?"
When Bao Qin heard this, her cheeks were slightly ashamed, her big and smart eyes flickered, she looked at the young man and said, "Brother Heng, you have really become my brother-in-law."
She said that Sister Tiantang has been cooking by herself these days and helping Brother Heng make clothes. Last time she asked her cousin, she still didn't admit it, huh.
Jia Heng took Bao Qin's bare hand and said solemnly: "Sister, don't tell anyone else about this matter. After all, it is related to your sister's reputation. After returning to Beijing, my aunt will not talk about it."
Baoqin's cheeks were slightly red, and she nodded and said, "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I'm tight-lipped and won't talk nonsense."
As he spoke, he found that his hand was held tightly by the boy. The girl's soft and chubby little hand gradually became a little moist and warm due to nervousness and shyness.
If the second sister sees this, she won't hit her, right?
Jia Heng also let go of Baoqin's hand, gently pinched the girl's pink face, and said: "Okay, sister Baoqin, play me a pipa song. I haven't heard my sister play the pipa before. "
Baoqin's cheeks were slightly red, she bit her lip, and responded softly. She picked up the pipa and started playing it, but she was obviously absent-minded, and the strings in her hand were a bit messy.
After a while, Jia Heng looked at the girl who was holding the painting at the end of the song, and said softly: "My sister is really skilled in technique and dexterous in fingering. She just sang the song and it was like hearing the sounds of nature."
Originally, he was worried that his chubby hands would have short fingers and would not be able to play instruments? But this doubt has just been dispelled, or it can be said that the ten fingers are also green and shiny and white, and as dexterous as butterflies.
Bao Qin is not actually fat, or she just has a plump face with baby fat.
For a moment, Bao Qin felt a little embarrassed by the gaze of the young man across from him, and whispered: "Brother Heng...Brother Heng is too praised."
…
…
The Jade Rabbit sets in the west and the Golden Crow rises in the east.
The next day, when the sky was bright, there was a heavy fog in Jinling City. Milky white fog enveloped the streets and alleys. There were cornices and simple and elegant houses on both sides of the streets. The waiters opened the doors and began to greet them. Early guests.
Ningguo Mansion
Jia Heng finished his breakfast and went outside, asking, "Where are the selected guards stationed for training?"
Liu Jixian, Cai Quan, Xie Zaiyi and others were previously asked to select some sergeants from Jiangnan Jiangbei Camp and Jinyi Mansion. The first batch consisted of about 300 people for centralized special training. Naturally, these people were not used to protect Jia. Heng, but to protect the noble.
Chen Xiao said: "Now at the mouth of the small river southwest of the foothills of Zhongshan Mountain, a barracks has been rebuilt there to train some stealth and protection methods."
Jia Heng thought for a while and said: "There are still some clan members in Jinling. I plan to build a martial arts hall and a Chongwen hall to train the clan children to study and join the army. Some suitable ones can also be selected for training."
There are many children of the Jia clan in the 12th house of Jinling. These children were originally running some businesses in the southern province, and their lives were quite comfortable.
Chen Xiao said: "Then you can give me the manpower list and I will make arrangements."
If the truth about his "life experience" is revealed in the future, it is easy for these Jia generals to dominate the military, which is not a good thing. Of course, when he makes contributions in northern Xinjiang in the future, a new group of military heroes will surround him.
When Jia Heng went to Zhongshan to meet the selected guards, and then returned to Ningguo Mansion, he suddenly heard his grandma coming to report that Princess Zhen Xue of Beijing had arrived and was waiting in the study.
Jia Heng had some doubts on his face.
He originally wanted to talk to Zhen Xue, but Zhen Xue had already found him.
Jia Heng led Chen Xiao to the study and asked Chen Xiao to watch the wind outside. When he entered the study, he saw the beauty sitting elegantly, drinking tea and waiting, and said: "Princess."
"Ziyu." When Zhen Xue saw Jia Heng coming over, her beautiful face was filled with joy and she called out.
Jia Heng nodded, sat closer, took Zhen Xue's bare hand, and asked: "Prince Beijing invited me to have dinner with me tomorrow night. Xue'er is here because of this matter."
Zhen Xue nodded first, but then shook her head and said hesitantly: "Zi Yu, it's the prince, he..."
The beauty spoke hesitantly, feeling it was too difficult to speak. Under Jia Heng's attention, she simply finished the story.
When Jia Heng heard this, his expression changed, and he was a little shocked. He whispered: "This, this is too... too unbelievable."
Could this be considered a two-way journey to some extent?
Zhen Xue's gentle eyebrows showed a look of eagerness, and she said softly: "Zi Yu, the prince has such thoughts, what should I do now?"
Jia Heng paused and felt that this matter was quite difficult.
If he follows the wishes of King Beijing, his relationship with Zhen Xue will be exposed to King Beijing from now on. Maybe King Beijing has other evil intentions.
Prince Beijing: Ziyu, you don’t want anyone to know about you and the princess, right?
Of course, this is impossible. With his current position of power, King Beijing will not be so unwise, but this can easily complicate things.
If we follow the original work, Xue Pan is able to come out to find Liu Xianglian. Well, the actor who plays Liu Xianglian and the actor of King Beijing are the same person.
Jia Heng thought for a moment and said: "I can't decide at the moment. Let's go ahead with the original plan. At least cover up the child in your belly. We'll talk about the rest later."
King Beijing should not give up yet, but if King Beijing brought this matter up himself, it would be two completely different things from his previous affair with Zhen Xue.
Put it off for a while, as long as King Beijing has such thoughts, he will probably mention the matter again later, and then he will take advantage of the situation and reluctantly agree.
But if the King of Beijing sees that Zhen Xue has a child and doesn't mention it again, has he wasted an opportunity to be with Xue'er openly and let the King of Beijing look out at the door?
Alas, the sudden behavior of King Beijing made things complicated all of a sudden. It was too confusing.
Jia Heng suppressed a trace of weirdness in his heart, so the only way was that you hit yours and I'd hit mine, and proceed as planned first.
Zhen Xue sighed softly and said, "That's all we can do first."
As he said that, he suddenly remembered something and raised his face to look at Jia Heng. Her soft cheeks were as red as a blush, and she didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "He also wants me to dress up nicely to seduce Zi Yu."
Jia Heng gently took Zhen Xue's hand, hugged her into his arms, pecked the beauty's cheek, and said softly: "Xue'er is naturally beautiful and it's hard to give up. She can seduce me without dressing up."
Listening to the sweet words, Zhen Xue felt the pampering and affection of the young man's gentle movements, her heart was filled with sweetness, and she said shyly: "You are talking nonsense again, what is seductive and not seductive, you talk about people like you are a fox."
If we talk about foxy, my sister is a bit...
