Jinyang Princess Mansion
After lunch, it was already afternoon. Jia Heng went to take a bath first, put on a Su brocade robe, and came to the back room of the house with a calm expression.
The eldest princess of Jinyang and Yuan Chun were sitting on the embroidered couch. Yuan Chun had obviously taken a bath and changed into a light yellow dress. His pretty face was white because he had just taken a bath and was full of blood. Red, fragrant and rich.
Looking at the young man who had finished bathing and changing clothes, the eldest princess of Jinyang's beautiful eyes filled with worry, asked: "Did the newspaper say that the emperor asked you to choose the governor of Anhui?"
Jia Heng nodded, sat down between the two of them, and said softly: "I originally wanted to recommend Li Shouzhong, but this matter requires some planning, and it may be necessary to select two more people, otherwise, the scholars in Jiangnan may be criticized. "
Li Shouzhong is an in-law of his Jia family. If he directly recommends Li Shouzhong, it will be seen as nepotism and recruiting party members in the eyes of outsiders. It will inevitably arouse the clamor of Jiangnan scholars, and if there are interested people to add fuel to the fire, it may cause some turmoil.
In fact, now that the Imperial College in Nanjing has a vacancy, it is feasible for Li Shouzhong to resume his duties as an official in the Central Plains, but it is obviously not as powerful as the governor of a province.
The eldest princess of Jinyang showed surprise in her charming and beautiful eyes, and asked: "Li Shouzhong, is he from the Li family?"
Jia Heng explained: "This person is considered an in-law of my Jia Mansion. My daughter is now married to Rongguo Mansion. She now has a son who is quite talented in reading."
At the mention of Li Wan, Jia Heng's eyes narrowed, and there was a slight throbbing in the depths of his mind. The softness and firmness that night, as well as the weeping hum and shyness, were indeed still fresh in his memory.
It's just that what was agreed at that time was only for this one time, and it would not be the same again, and it would not be easy... to go back on one's promise.
There was also concern in Yuanchun's big bright eyes, and he asked: "Brother Heng, if you recommend an in-law, won't this cause criticism?"
Jia Heng reached for his boots, took Yuan Chun's hand into his arms, and said warmly: "Sister, this matter needs to be carefully planned. I plan to recommend three people, and it will be decided by the emperor. At that time, the emperor is willing to use Whoever it is depends on what he means.”
Yuan Chun was being pulled affectionately by Jia Heng, and his heart was inevitably filled with embarrassment and joy. He glanced at the eldest princess of Jinyang and saw that she was just smiling brightly, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Obviously Yuanchun always remembers that the eldest princess of Jinyang is the red flower, and he is only the green leaf.
In fact, in Yuanchun's view, in addition to his outstanding personal talents, the recommendation of Princess Jinyang was even more crucial for Jia Heng to be where he is today.
The eldest princess of Jinyang looked at the shy young girl with a sweet smile, and said softly: "Yuan Chun, take off your shoes and socks. You can lie down on the bed to keep yourself warm."
She had not seen him for so long, and she missed him a little, but now that she was pregnant, she couldn't mess around and had to be extra careful. She would just let him take good care of him later.
Speaking of which, she is quite old. This is her first child, so there must be no mistakes.
Jia Heng pulled Princess Jinyang down and said warmly: "Jinyang, come up too. Sitting all the time is not good for the fetus."
As the three of them talked, they took off their shoes and socks, lifted a corner of the quilt, and lay on the bed side by side. Because Jin Yang was pregnant, he was on the inside, with Jia Heng in the middle and Yuan Chun outside.
This embroidered couch is more than a foot wide, which is extremely spacious and does not seem crowded. The large golden and red bedding embroidered with large hibiscus flowers is even more light and warm.
Jia Heng turned to Princess Jinyang and said, "Jinyang, what do you think?"
The eldest princess of Jinyang tilted her beautiful head, a look of thought appeared on her graceful and beautiful face, and said softly: "I feel that in the end, Li Shouzhong will be the governor of Anhui. Such doubts will not stop. You should not pay too much attention. This Li Shouzhong is from a clean background and has a good reputation. Even if he is the governor of Anhui, people will only say that you do not avoid relatives when you promote talents."
Jia Heng nodded and said: "But you have to look past it in terms of face. Li Shouzhong's reputation is also very good among scholars, so we should try not to be affected by this incident."
If you directly recommend Li Shouzhong, the appearance will be too ugly. In fact, it doesn't matter even if you have no scruples.
For example, in the original work, Yuanchun was granted the title of concubine, and the prince made great use of him. He recommended Jia Yucun to be the Grand Sima of the Ministry of War (the elegant name of the Minister of War) and counselor of military aircraft. This appearance is not very good-looking.
He was mainly worried that under the pressure of public opinion, Li Shouzhong would become aloof and no longer agree to serve as governor, which would be in vain all his hard work.
The eldest princess of Jinyang said softly: "That's good, but does Li Shouzhong have experience in governing the local area? If he becomes the governor of Anhui, can he nurture the local area and educate the common people?"
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "So we need to have an in-depth conversation with him. I have asked him about his ambitions before, and he also has the idea of keeping the prefecture and county and benefiting the local area."
In fact, there is no official who does not want to take charge of a party and serve as a feudal official.
The feudal officials exercised the power of life and death in the local area, almost like the local emperors, and were better able to realize their political ambitions.
The eldest princess of Jinyang said softly: "Since the emperor asked you to inspect it, just do it carefully. Don't be too afraid of rumors. The emperor asked you to go south today. Didn't we negotiate with you before?"
Jia Heng gently caressed the beauty's plump face. It felt soft and soft, as if it had been washed with cow's milk. He couldn't help but kiss her and said, "It's almost the same. It turned out that I was using my power to fight against the Zhejiang Party."
If according to the settings of film and television dramas, his kind of martial arts with the attributes of a foreign relative would be a natural villain, like Master Pang, Pan Mei and the like.
On the contrary, the intellectual elites of the Zhejiang Party were good officials who bravely fought against treacherous ministers.
The eldest princess of Jinyang had a shy face, apparently made sweet and shy by the actions of Jia Heng, an old couple. Her voice was as soft as water, and she said: "Brother, the emperor has always been good at using the art of checks and balances. If you make great achievements in the future, I'm afraid Not only the Zhejiang Party, but others will also come to check and balance you."
Jia Heng said: "Now there is a Nan'an County Prince in the Military Aircraft Department, who is originally a check and balance on me."
Princess Jinyang smiled and said with relief, "You don't have to worry too much."
As long as he doesn't have any dissatisfaction for the time being, the emperor brother still relies on him.
Jia Heng let out a soft "hmm", leaned forward and pressed her lips against the beauty's pink lips again, while traces of sweet fragrance continued to flow over her teeth and cheeks.
Then, the soft fragrance of powder rolled down the beauty's delicate skin. Because she was pregnant, in addition to the orchid fragrance on her clothes and the fragrance of her skin, there was also an indescribable sweet fragrance.
Princess Jinyang stroked Jia Heng's shoulder and said shyly, "How long have you been hungry? Xianning didn't feed you?"
Jia Heng said vaguely: "I have always been the one feeding her."
Princess Jinyang: "..."
This person, just one sentence, gave her a picture. Needless to say, Xian Ning must be obsessed with him in every possible way and couldn't let go.
Then, Princess Jinyang's delicate body trembled slightly, her beautiful eyes turned, she looked at Yuan Chun with red cheeks at the side, and said with a chuckle: "Yuan Chun, don't be stunned, he has had a hard time along the way."
Yuanchun's beautiful jade cheeks turned red with embarrassment, she said softly "Hmm", and without saying another word, she covered her face with the brocade quilt embroidered with peonies, put her head into the quilt, and opened her lips slightly. , Lilac Manjuan.
Here, the eldest princess of Jinyang turned her bright red face, gently caressed Jia Heng's shoulder, her voice trembled slightly, and said: "The errand of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division will be done soon, and it is not done yet. To that point.”
Judging from the fact that he was sealed as a first-class marquis after returning this time, the emperor's regard for him would not change until at least the foreign troubles in Liaodong were eliminated. And in such a long time, there must be another good way.
Jia Heng's face paused slightly, his eyes deepened a little, and he secretly thought that the eldest sister also had a lot of experience, and said softly: "Jinyang, the Queen really wants me to end up helping King Wei."
The eldest princess of Jinyang frowned and said: "She has been the queen for several years, but the East Palace has not yet been established, so she is inevitably a little anxious and her methods are a bit rough."
Jia Heng said: "Now the foreign troubles have not been eliminated, and the emperor's ambition to rejuvenate has not been fulfilled. I don't want to establish a direct descendant, but the competition among several vassal kings has begun."
The eldest princess of Jinyang snorted and said: "That is what the emperor intended. It is said that King Wei is the most suitable and can best overcome all objections. But once King Wei establishes himself as the East Palace, the Song family, the Nan'an County Wang family, and even you , where will the emperor put himself? Moreover, the talent and temperament of King Wei have not yet been carefully examined, and it needs to be investigated slowly. "
As he said that, he looked at the young man whose cheeks were gradually showing a slight abnormality, blinked his beautiful eyes, pinched Jia Heng's chest, and said, "You are quite comfortable."
Jia Heng said: "How about I also serve Li'er?"
Princess Jinyang's cheeks were slightly red, her eyebrows raised, she snorted softly and said, "It's up to you."
At this moment, she was also a little... It seemed that she had been itching ever since she had the child.
Jia Heng said nothing more and lifted the quilt, as usual.
…
…
Zhenzhai
The lazy sunshine in the southern winter afternoon shines in the courtyard. There are several green and smoky pines and cypresses in the courtyard, and a beauty is sitting beside the railing on the attic, basking in the sun.
The beauty was dressed in a vermilion dress, with three thousand green silk threads tied into a bun and tied with a jasper phoenix hairpin, revealing a bright forehead as white as jade, but a slightly sharp and cold face with melon seeds unpainted. No matter how much rouge she wears, her beauty and charm cannot be hidden.
There was just a look of unhappiness between his eyebrows, and he didn't know who he hated.
Normally, this is not the first time that the beauty is pregnant, but Zhen Qing is much more depressed than the last time. Sometimes she is stroking her belly with joy, and sometimes she is in a low mood, secretly cursing someone who could kill a thousand people.
At this moment, the beauty was acting as usual, with her slender hands gently caressing her belly through her dress, and said quietly: "Your father doesn't take you seriously every day. You should try your best in the future and let him pay more attention to you." When it comes to you, we, the two of us, are counting on him."
Although the prince was able to get involved in the Ministry of War, his father's vigilance towards him remained undiminished. Instead, he relied heavily on that bastard who was already an important minister of the military and the commander-in-chief of the imperial robe, almost treating him like a confidant.
When push came to shove, she really had to count on that bastard to help her realize what she wanted.
Just as Zhen Qing was thinking about it, she suddenly felt a scent of fragrant wind blowing towards her nostrils. Zhen Xue walked forward slowly, looked at the beauty in the red dress who was gradually plumping up, and said softly: "Sister, it seems to be said outside, Zi Yu. Already arrived at Jinling."
Although Jia Heng's imperial guards did not notify the officials of Jinling Prefecture in advance to greet them, they did not hide it from the people in Jinling. In particular, Jia Heng stationed the imperial guards directly at the Yamen of the Ministry of War. Naturally, this quickly spread to Jinling City. .
When Zhen Qing heard this, her delicate body trembled slightly, and she turned her head. Her heart felt happy at first, and then her jade face was as cold as frost, and she scolded: "Now that you have arrived in Jinling, why haven't you come to see us yet?"
Hearing this, Zhen Xue felt a little helpless as well as feeling ashamed and happy, and said in a low voice: "Sister, Zi Yuxu still has something to deal with."
"What can he have that needs to be dealt with? He went south this time just to... look at the two of us." Zhen Qing felt ashamed and annoyed, but her words were unforgiving.
Even if that bastard has a conscience, she and her sister have been careful these days, lest they bump into each other and cause any harm to his two children. However, when he came to Aurous Hill, he did not see her and his sister immediately.
Zhen Xuerou's elegant face flushed slightly, and she lowered her voice and said: "Sister, when he comes to Jinling, everyone will be attracted to him. How can he come here immediately, for fear that others will not know..."
Are they afraid that others won't know that the seed in their stomachs is Ziyu's?
When the young woman Hua Xin thought about this, her heart skipped a beat, and she felt both shame and sweetness.
She is going to give birth to a child for Ziyu, which is a testimony of her friendship with Ziyu.
Zhen Qing heard Zhen Xue's words and said softly: "My sister has a point in what she said. He is now a first-class marquis, and this time he went south to serve on the imperial mission, which attracted the attention of everyone in Jinling City."
When the young woman mentioned Jia Heng's knighthood, she felt a little happy and proud. Even though she, Zhen Qing, was looking for a lover, she was also a rare talent among the big men. At such a young age, she was already a first-class Wuhou.
It will be a matter of time until the Duke of the country and the king of the county will come.
When she becomes queen, she will make an exception and be promoted to prince.
Don't blame this beauty for having all kinds of fantasies. Firstly, she is pregnant and her mind fluctuates greatly. Secondly, if she doesn't rely on this support, she may collapse in an instant.
At this time, it was absolutely impossible to live without Jia Heng.
The Chu Princess obviously didn't know that Jia Heng immediately went to see another pregnant woman.
Zhen Xue Yingying sat down. Her originally soft and graceful face had become round and round due to her recent pregnancy. Her face was full of worry and she said, "Sister, Ziyu won't have any bonds when he goes south this time, right?"
Zhen Qing's pair of narrow, clear phoenix eyes flickered, and she said firmly: "He will not have any difficulty in presiding over the issue of Jiangnan's division this time. My father divided Jiangnan into two provinces. This is an obvious differentiation strategy. , letting him take care of this matter is also intentional."
After this beauty gave birth to a child, she did not fall into love completely after being pregnant for three years. Instead, she used Jia Heng as an anchor, and she became more and more clear about the fog of the DPRK situation.
Of course, if you stay with Jia Heng for a long time, you will always understand something.
Zhen Xue thought for a while and said: "Doesn't that mean
Zhen Qing said: "Don't worry about him. He is very scheming and will make his plans later. Nothing will happen to him."
Thinking of all the past confrontations with that bastard, Zhen Qing felt her teeth itching with hatred, but she also felt a little admiration and affection in her heart, and started to feel a little itchy in other places.
It was that bastard who deserved to conquer her.
"By the way, where's Xinxin?" Zhen Qing suppressed the ripples of passion that were rising in her heart, her phoenix eyes flashed, and she asked softly.
Mentioning her daughter, Zhen Xue sighed and said: "Xinxin has been a little depressed these days. She said that no one would play with her, and she made a fuss about going back to Beijing to find her godfather. I found someone who is proficient in music. This I've been teaching her how to play the piano for two days."
"She just likes to cling to her godfather. Those who don't know it think she is also his father." Zhen Qing said.
Zhen Xue's cheeks were red with embarrassment and she said angrily: "What are you talking about, sister?"
Zhen Qing looked at Zhen Xue with a smile on her face, who couldn't hide the happiness and sweetness in her eyes, and joked: "Sister, do you still hate me, sister?"
I remember that I had to live and die at the beginning, but now I am not so happy and happy that I miss Shu.
"Sister also said." Zhen Xuefang was so ashamed that she lightly hit Zhen Qing's arm.
She had never held a grudge against her sister.
Zhen Qing smiled and said: "With a child, there will be care. In the future, he will be able to take you two into his heart."
Zhen Xue lowered her head, her cheeks were as red as the clouds, and she was embarrassed and didn't respond.
Zhen Qing didn't say much else, but instead said: "Xinxin wants to learn piano, and I can teach her. Why do you want to ask for help from outsiders instead of the near?"
"Isn't it true that sister is pregnant? It's hard to take care of this anymore." Zhen Xue said softly with a hint of concern in her gentle brows.
Zhen Qing gently stroked her belly and said, "Oh, we two sisters are like this."
She did nothing but give birth to his child, fearing that something would happen to the child.
The more the beauty thought about it, the angrier she became and she clenched her hands. At this moment, she really wanted to bite that bastard to vent her anger.
No, when his child grows up, if that bastard dares to make her angry again, she...she will beat his child.
Let him make her angry again? You still dare to say that you are tired of saying it!
Thinking of this, Zhen Qing's original gloomy mood became brighter.
The mood of a pregnant woman at this time is just like the weather in June, with ups and downs, and it changes at any time.
Zhen Xue pursed her pink lips, her eyes showed a trace of tangle, and her thoughts were complicated, and she said softly: "Sister, a few days ago, the concubine in Beijing sent someone to ask about my pregnancy."
After Princess Beijing learned that Zhen Xue was pregnant, she was ecstatic and wanted to go south to visit her daughter-in-law in person. However, several consecutive heavy snowfalls in the north and the ice on the river meant that Princess Beijing was unable to make the trip, but she decided to Several waves of people went south and delivered various nutritional products.
Needless to say, I hope to be a man so that he can inherit the title of Beijing County King.
Zhen Qing's phoenix eyes flashed under her willow eyebrows, and she asked, "Sister, are you worried that this baby is not a boy?"
Zhen Xue sighed softly, knowing that she couldn't hide it from her sister who had empty eyelashes. She said softly: "I don't like eating sour food as much as my sister. I can't say I am a girl again."
"Wait another two years, and then ask Ziyu to give you a child." Zhen Qing's narrow eyes flashed with amusement, and she joked.
Speaking of which, my sister is a bit pitiful. She always gives birth to girls, unlike her...her baby must be a boy.
Zhen Xue's cheeks as clear as snow were as red as a blush, and she said, "Sister, it's not that easy to have a baby."
My sister said it simply, how could this child just be said to exist? Even if she wanted to give birth, she still had to look at... Ziyu.
Zhen Qing said softly: "Sister, don't worry. If you go by what I said, if my sister finally gives birth to a girl, there will be a baby born in Jinling City recently. I will take a baby boy and exchange it, that's it."
The beauty is indeed a "venomous woman" certified by Jia Heng himself, and she is a killer every time she makes a move.
Zhen Xue's heart skipped a beat and she quickly said: "Sister, how could you do this? It's an evil thing to separate other people's flesh and blood, and Ziyu would not agree to it."
This is Ziyu's child, how can she exchange it?
"That's what I said." Zhen Qing smiled, her face slightly rosy, and she said delicately: "You're right, this is his child. You still have to discuss it with him in the end. Girls can also let him What I am raising is just to adopt a male to deal with Concubine Beijing."
That bastard has been in Jinling for at least two or three hours and he hasn't come yet!
At this moment, the beauty was cursing Jia Heng again.
Zhen Xue frowned her delicate eyebrows and whispered: "That's not good, it's too outrageous."
Zhen Qing looked at her sister, whose eyebrows were like a pool of autumn water, with complicated thoughts, and said, "My sister is kind-hearted. No wonder he likes you and can't let go no matter what."
Jia Heng was tired of what he said at the time, but not Zhen Xue's words. Even after so long, it still made the beauty feel uneasy.
Why? In terms of appearance, my sister...is far inferior to her.
Zhen Xue said softly: "What about sister? If she is a girl, do she have to change like this?"
Based on my sister's temperament, if she were a girl, she would probably do something like this for her own benefit, and she would not only hide it from the King of Chu, but also from Zi Yu.
Zhen Qing glanced at Zhen Xue coldly and said confidently: "What should I do instead? My baby is a boy."
Zhen Xue: "..."
No, is my sister so sure that the baby in her belly must be a boy? It is said that she is a sour boy and a hot girl, but this kind of thing is not accurate.
Besides, she looked at her sister as if she was looking for something sour to eat on purpose.
Well, you can't say this, otherwise my sister will become angry.
"But what if?" Xu Shi saw that Zhen Qing was overconfident, and Zhen Xuefang felt a little jealous and couldn't help but say.
"There is no such thing as a chance." Zhen Qing frowned, and interrupted Zhen Xue's words in a clear voice. Her pink lips squirmed, and she whispered: "If there is a chance..."
"I don't want to change my child, because I will offend that bastard, but that bastard must let me give birth to a boy." Zhen Qing's pure and beautiful face showed a trace of determination, her phoenix eyes were filled with tears, but they did not fall, and she whispered: "He owes me this!"
She has nothing now, her child is gone, and she and the prince are only in name only, and now she only has him.
She loved him so much that she gave her body and heart to him, so he couldn't even think about running away.
Zhen Xue: "???"
This...sister is still going to give birth? Are you going to stop giving birth to a boy?
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Zhen Qing's phoenix eyes sparkled under her beautiful eyebrows. She looked at Zhen Xue and said softly: "Sister, send someone to ask. Just tell me that Xin'er wants to meet her godfather. Ask Marquis Yongning when he will come."
Zhen Xue nodded and said: "Then I will send someone to look for it later."
