Xianning Princess Mansion
The night was hazy, a bright moon shone brightly on the earth, and the breeze blew through the leaves, making a rustling sound among the trees.
Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at Li Chanyue, met those charming and flowing eyes, and said softly: "Chanyue, come here, let's rest together."
"Xiao Jia...husband." Li Chanyue said with a trembling voice as her cheeks turned red with shame.
Princess Xianning's eyebrows were curved, she smiled and said, "Sir, please rest early."
On her wedding night, she had no sense of involvement.
Jia Heng said: "Let's rest early, we have to get up early tomorrow."
In this situation, one princess and two princesses would not change even if the emperor changed.
It's really the arrogance and licentiousness of the upper class that ordinary people can't even imagine.
The vermilion curtain gently fell from the golden hook. It turned out to be a special couch. The space was wide and spacious, and the three of them lay on it without feeling crowded.
Chan Yue was lying in the innermost compartment, hiding her face with disheveled hair under the brocade quilt, secretly listening to Jia Heng and Chen Xiao talking together, her heart still wandering back and forth in the stormy waves.
Jia Heng hugged Chen Xiao gently and said, "Xiaoxiao."
"What are you calling me for again?" Chen Xiao narrowed his soft and clear eyes, frowned slightly, and said softly, and suddenly looked at the young man with shame and anger. He was obviously beaten by the sound of the bamboo snapping. A person's way will be repaid by his own body.
He could only glare at Jia Heng, endure the shame and anger in his heart, and turned over. The white snow back reflected the light, like mutton-fat white jade, spotless.
Princess Xianning looked at the young man, chuckled and said, "Sir, I can do it myself."
Jia Heng's face was slightly condensed, and he was a little confused.
Why did you come here by yourself? What do you want yourself to do?
I don't know why I think of the crying sister-in-law.
Well, would you like a handful of Xianning later?
Princess Xianning took a new handkerchief, and with a hint of charm in her misty clear eyes, she said, "Mr."
While talking, he helped clean up the blood stains.
"I'll do it." Jia Heng said softly, already taking the handkerchief. In fact, he had just wiped it with Chan Yue.
Princess Xianning gently took off her wedding dress and came to Chen Xiao. There was a hint of memory in her bright eyes under the willow eyebrows, and said: "Sister Xiaoxiao, do you still remember when you were a child?"
"Huh?" Chen Xiao frowned, looked at the girl lying side by side, and said angrily: "No, what are you doing here, Xianning?"
At this moment, my mind recalled all the absurdities between the two bewitching concubines of the Zhen family and the young man when they were in Jiangnan. Is this a reappearance of the scene?
Yes, but in the flash of lightning, the feeling of rejection in my heart seems to be weaker.
In this case, he would not be seduced by Qingxue and become more and more ridiculous since returning to Beijing.
In fact, in Chen Xiao's eyes, Jia Heng's continued manipulation after returning to Beijing was undoubtedly due to this absurd inertia.
The fault lies with both Qingxue and Qingxue.
Princess Xianning thought to herself and said: "When I was a child, Sister Xiaoxiao and I were playing around near Chonghua Palace and climbed to the roof of the palace. When the Queen Mother saw her, she asked the palace maid to beat us both ten times. Sister Xiaoxiao still remembers it, right? .”
"What are you talking about?" Chen Xiao frowned and asked in surprise.
"At that time, Sister Xiaoxiao felt that she had caused me trouble, so when the board fell, she lay on my body and took a few hits for me." Princess Xianning had a look of memory on her face, and sighed quietly, saying : "Sister Xiaoxiao loved me so much when I was a child."
Chen Xiaoqing's eyes were in a trance, she pursed her pink lips and said, "You originally wanted to be quieter, but you followed me at that time, but you learned to have a naughty temper. Concubine Rong is probably not less angry about this."
But you are so coquettish and charming now, you definitely didn’t learn it from me.
With a hint of charm in Princess Xianning's bright eyebrows, she chuckled and said, "Sister Xiaoxiao acted as my backbone back then, and I stand in the way of Sister Xiaoxiao today..."
Just as Chen Xiao was about to say something, he suddenly felt a softness on his back, and his heart was filled with embarrassment.
"Xianning, what are you doing? Don't mess around." Chen Xiao looked embarrassed and scolded.
However, at this moment, I suddenly felt my mind stop, and I felt a big lump of softness coming from my back, making me breathless, and then I wandered alone in the frightening Xiaoyuan Xiangjie.
Chen Xiao frowned slightly, feeling extremely embarrassed and angry, and said angrily: "You also let Xianning do whatever you want."
Fortunately, the girl has practiced martial arts since she was a child and has extraordinary physical strength. She can still live in peace and move forward with heavy loads.
Jia Heng changed the topic and said with a double entendre: "The Mongols in Qinghai and the pirates in Jiangnan are at the same time. Not to mention the war between the two fronts of the imperial court, I am somewhat incapacitated. If I can't go to Qinghai in these two days, I will go to Jiangnan." ”
Qinghai and Jiangnan...
Chen Xiao bit her pink lips, her bright eyes were full of shame and anger, her voice was trembling, a strand of hair hanging down from her ears, she gently swept her fragrant face, and said: "The Jiangnan side has been decided. journey."
Jia Heng's voice suddenly dropped and he said, "Yes."
Princess Xianning frowned, her bright eyes were condensed, and she said softly: "Sir, are you talking about the affairs of Wang Jin's family in Xining County?"
Jia Heng pondered for a moment, then had to reorganize his words, raised his sword eyebrows, and said in a lower voice: "Jin Xiaoyu led 30,000 troops deep into the enemy's hinterland. He is not familiar with the local situation. At this moment, he is probably defeated. Once defeated, the imperial court will Send troops to quell the chaos.”
"Sir, you have just returned to Beijing. Are you going to Qinghai and Mongolia now?" Feeling helpless, the flowers fell, and the familiar swallows returned. Princess Xianning's snowy cheeks were as red as fire, her sandalwood mouth could not help but open slightly, and large beads of sweat gathered on her temples. It became a trickle, flowing along the temples, and the clumps of hair were stuck together and curled.
At this time, Chen Xiao's delicate body was trembling, and while she endured the intermittent intermission, the back of her neck was itchy due to the soft rolling back and the exhalation of Ru Lan behind her. She said in embarrassment, "Are you blocking me?"
Princess Xianning couldn't help but smile, blew a breath, and said softly: "Cousin, please stop me later. We are really friends in need now."
"Don't blow on the back of my neck." Chen Xiao raised his arms and said angrily.
Princess Xianning smiled and said: "Who makes me not as tall as Sister Xiaoxiao? Sister Xiaoxiao is skilled in martial arts, so these things shouldn't be difficult."
Li Chanyue looked at the scene of mountains beside her, with her flaming jade face hidden in the brocade quilt, her heart was filled with shame.
Anyway, she will never be used as a cushion when the time comes, ah, what is she thinking? There is no such thing.
Jia Heng didn't say much, she was also a little confused at the moment.
In fact, Xiaoxiao and Xianning are not only different in height, but also have very different skin texture.
Princess Xianning snorted softly, and before she could finish speaking, she felt a softness behind her. It was clear that Chen Xiao had taken advantage of the opportunity to lift her body and come over.
The girl didn't know why, but maybe she was aroused by Princess Xianning's teasing just now and became competitive.
Jia Heng looked strange and said softly: "We can't go to Qinghai and Jiangnan at the same time."
Princess Xianning gritted her teeth to hold on, her cheeks were red with embarrassment, and she was a little breathy. Suddenly she said coquettishly: "Why don't you cover your eyes with a handkerchief, sir? Guess?"
Jia Heng: "..."
Xianning is really good at this. Is this a variety show from childhood?
The problem is, once the black blindfold is put on, who knows if Xianning will call someone else?
My heart skipped a beat, and I quickly suppressed my chaotic thoughts.
"Stop making trouble, this is not a difficult matter, let's talk about something else." Jia Heng frowned, looked deeply, and said: "The day before yesterday, the Queen said that after you and Chan Yue get married, In charge of the errands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Princess Xianning's bright eyes flashed slightly, and she said softly: "Sir, what you say is not what you mean."
What are you doing with your mother at this time? What good things were you thinking about at that moment? The mouth may lie, but the body does not.
Jia Heng: "..."
Where is the duplicity in his words?
"But yes, Sister Xiaoxiao just came here. At least wait until Sister Xiaoxiao has passed." Princess Xianning had a beautiful face and a slightly trembling voice, and said intermittently: "I just want to know if sir can really tell who is who."
Jia Heng was speechless for a moment, Xianning was so ridiculous.
Are you really stubborn?
However, sometimes this may not be clear. For example, for Sister Feng who was wearing imperial uniform, he really made a mistake.
Chen Xiaoyu's cheeks turned red with embarrassment. She stretched out a hand to twist Xian Ning's ears and said angrily, "Have you had enough of your nonsense?"
Can you even think of such ridiculous things as identifying people? No wonder that man was always so ridiculous, and Xian Ning was the one who misled him.
Princess Xianning giggled and said, "Sister Xiaoxiao, please spare me."
The girl originally had a cold and charming temperament, but now she is whispering coquettishly, and is even more charming and charming than before.
…
…
And I don’t know how long later, maybe it was midnight, and the bright moon as bright as a jade plate outside the window had long been covered by the clouds. The lanterns of the Princess Mansion were gently swaying in the square courtyard. Suddenly, the breeze calmed down, and everything Return to peace.
Li Chanyue was still listening at first, but later she felt tired and fell into a deep sleep.
Jia Heng held Xian Ning with his left hand and Chen Xiao with his right hand. There was also a girl curled up like a kitten lying in the corner of the room, and he couldn't help but feel an indescribable feeling in his heart.
As a true man, this is what you should do.
Chen Xiao frowned slightly at this moment, raised his eyes to look at the young man, and couldn't help but cursed: "You must have done it on purpose."
It was clear just now that he was quarreling with Xianning in the end and had to look for her.
Jia Heng said: "This is not about pampering you."
Princess Xianning's beautiful face was full of thoughts, and she chuckled and joked: "Sister Xiaoxiao, are you worried about her?"
"Another nonsense." Chen Xiao said angrily.
Princess Xianning chuckled and said, "Next time, Sister Xiaoxiao, forget it."
In fact, she still thought that Sister Xiao would be able to have a child, so that she would not have to worry about some past events.
Jia Heng couldn't help but just picked the pears gently.
"You don't care about her." Chen Xiao opened Jia Heng's hand and said angrily.
Jia Heng said softly: "She is a princess. I can't control her. You, the sister, can take care of her."
Princess Xianning smiled, her cheeks were flushed with anger, her pink lips were slightly parted, she took out her fingers and drew circles in Jia Heng's arms, then looked at Chen Xiao and said softly: "Sister Xiao, no matter what, I still hope you can live a happier life."
Chen Xiao was shocked when he heard this, and the hand that originally held Jia Heng's arm was a little harder.
Jia Heng said: "Okay, it's getting late. Let's go to bed early. We have to get up early tomorrow."
Xianning is indeed the biological daughter of the emperor, with a smart mind, or she has already suspected the reason why Xiaoxiao wants to escape from the palace.
So if one day the emperor becomes suspicious of him, what will Xianning do? How painful should it be?
Therefore, he should try to delay the arrival of this day as much as possible, and try not to let the father-in-law and son-in-law turn against each other and make the emperor and his ministers jealous.
Nowadays, the Jurchens have not been exterminated, and the emperor's body and bones are actually in very bad condition after vomiting blood and fainting, and may not be able to withstand the day when the donkey is slaughtered.
Chen Xiao said "hmm" and closed his bright eyes slightly. He felt the strangeness in his body and felt a sense of peace in his heart.
The two of them had grown up together, and just now they were serving a man together, and now they were almost like a mess.
She now wanted to ask the man in the palace why he was so cruel and treated his father like that?
Princess Xianning gently hugged Jia Heng's waist and said, "Sir, go to sleep."
If her cousin wants to harm her father in the future, she will definitely stop her, but what about her husband? Will your husband stand with your cousin?
His father was very kind to him, so he should have never had any dissatisfaction, but how could he be right...how could this be done?
She couldn't let her husband make another mistake. She needed to think of a way. Cousin Yan'er, her, Chanyue and Sister Xiaoxiao would definitely be able to figure out what he was doing.
Jia Heng reached out and caressed Princess Xianning's snowy shoulders. He seemed to be able to feel some of the girl's uneasiness from her ice skin and jade skin, and whispered: "Xianning, the days are long."
"Um."
The three of them immediately stopped talking and everyone fell asleep.
Only the two red candles on the high table were weeping, and the bright moon outside the window seemed to be gradually fading to the west.
…
…
The next day, the sky was bright, the morning light was slightly dew, and a line of fish-belly white appeared on the eastern sky.
Jia Hengxing turned around and turned his eyes to look at Chen Xiao beside him. The girl was sleeping peacefully, her eyelashes were curved and trembling, and the rose-red aura floated layer by layer on the pear cheeks that were as white as snow, while the ice muscles Jade Bone's face is as delicate and delicate as a baby's.
However, his facial features are very similar to those of Xian Ning next to him. The feeling of not knowing who he was last night is really difficult to describe in words.
Chen Xiao suddenly felt conscious, his eyelashes trembled, he slowly opened his bright eyes, and looked at the young man intently. He couldn't help but groaned in disgust when he was about to get up, but he felt a slender white skin pressing down on him, which made him feel ashamed.
In Xianning, are you the only one with long legs?
At this moment, Princess Xianning was awakened. She opened her sleepy eyes, her red lips were as red as roses, and said, "Sir, what time is it?"
"It's just dawn, it should be the end of the day." Jia Heng paused and said, "I have to go into the palace later to pay my respects to the Holy Emperor and the Queen, and I have to go to Chonghua Palace."
This is the consort. After marrying the princess, he will go to the palace to greet the two concubines to show his marriage to the Tian family.
Princess Xianning thought for a moment, stretched out her hand to tease Li Chanyue, and said softly: "Chanyue, wake up."
At this time, on the other side, Li Chanyue squeaked, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, she knocked off the hand under Xiu's neck and said angrily: "Cousin, I'm still a little sleepy."
Apparently the girl had already woken up, and just closed her eyes and fell asleep. Although she didn't bother much because of Jia Heng's pity last night, she didn't hear the voice in her ears, so she inevitably felt a little sleepy.
Princess Xianning chuckled and said, "If you don't get up earlier, people will laugh at you later."
Li Chanyue said "hmm" and whispered: "Mr. Xiao Jia, it's time to get up."
Chen Xiao got up first, picked up the clothes on the side and put them on quickly. He looked at the young man with clear eyes shyly, and in a cold voice that was slightly hoarse, he whispered: "Get up early, wait until daybreak."
She couldn't let others find out.
"Everyone, get up." Jia Heng nodded and without saying much, he took the clothes from the hanger nearby and quickly put them on.
In fact, he has experienced this kind of thing countless times, which has also raised his threshold a lot. However, this kind of permutation and combination is not free, and is also subject to some hidden conditions.
For example, they are incompatible with each other, or they come from different backgrounds.
At this time, after Chen Xiao had put on his clothes, he said softly: "I'm leaving first."
Her bridal night was somewhat different. Playmates from her youth were reunited, playing over a sword as they did when they were children.
Jia Heng looked at the girl who turned to leave and called out: "Xiaoxiao."
Chen Xiao was stunned for a moment, then saw the young man approaching slowly, adjusting his clothes, and said softly: "See you soon."
Chen Xiaoyu paused slightly, and her heart couldn't help but feel sweet.
Jia Heng said without saying much and watched Chen Xiao leave.
Since they became husband and wife last night, he has become the girl's most important relative, and the last layer of estrangement has been eliminated.
Princess Xianning had already put on her clothes. Seeing Chen Xiao leaving, she sighed softly and said softly: "Sir, call someone to take a bath."
She didn't feel well inside or out at the moment.
Jia Heng gently stroked the girl's face, which was as bright as a spring flower, and said, "Go ahead, I'll take a shower later."
It's summer, and it's easy to sweat. Although there is aromatherapy in the room, the vitality and prosperity are still flowing out.
After calling the maid, prepare warm water for bathing.
The female officer blushed, put away the wedding dress, and called: "Princess."
"Go." Princess Xianning waved her hand and said with a hint of shame on her face.
Li Chanyue came close and said in a soft and charming voice: "Mr. Xiao Jia."
Jia Heng said: "You still call me Xiao Jia."
Li Chanyue's snowy jade face flushed with shame, and she changed her words: "Husband."
Jia Heng came closer, held the girl's slender hair, looked at the girl whose beauty had not faded from the corner of her eyes, and said warmly: "You are inconvenient, please come with me when you take a shower later."
Li Chanyue lowered her head and said softly, "Hmm". Her face was already as red as rouge, bright and moving.
Jia Heng said: "Chanyue, just wipe yourself down later and you'll be fine."
I forgot to ask Xiaoxiao just now.
Things were too hasty and he owed Xiaoxiao a lot.
Li Chanyue softly said "Alas" and responded in a low voice.
After a while, Jia Heng helped Li Chanyue and Princess Xianning take a bath, and then everyone rode a carriage towards the palace garden.
At this moment in the palace garden, Emperor Chongping was already reviewing memorials in the study room of the Daming Palace. This emperor had always been diligent in his duties.
"Your Majesty, Duke Wei, along with His Highness Xianning and Princess Qinghe, are asking to see Your Majesty." Dai Quan entered the palace with a light cloth and said.
"Xuan." Emperor Chongping put down the imperial pen in his hand and said.
He raised his eyes and glanced at the sky, frowned, and thought to himself, how long has it been?
Although the emperor married two sisters from the Song family, he was actually known for his decent style when he was in the mansion. While he was mean to others, he was also mean to himself.
After ascending to the throne, he regarded the affairs between men and women as the same immoral and debauched acts as Jie and Zhou. Not to mention that there was a father in the Chonghua Palace who was nearly seventy years old and still did not change his ambitions, as a negative example.
Not long after, Jia Heng, Princess Xianning, and Princess Qinghe entered the palace, saluted the middle-aged emperor behind the case and said: "My son (Chanyue) has seen my father, long live my father. Long live my father."
The three of them saluted Emperor Chongping who was behind the case.
"Get up quickly. There is no need to be polite as a family." Emperor Chongping looked at the three of them and smiled. His warm eyes fell on the head of the young man in python suit and said: "Ziyu, Xianning, Chanyue, that Sit down next to me."
"Thank you, father." Jia Heng said with cupped hands.
Princess Xianning also pulled Li Chanyue to salute the middle-aged emperor and sat down on the embroidered pier.
Emperor Chongping said: "Yesterday, Xining soldiers went to Haiyan to stalemate Qinghai Mongolia. How do you think Ziyu should deal with it?"
Jia Heng pondered for a moment and said: "Reporting to the Emperor Father, it was not convenient for me to say in the palace yesterday. With Jin Xiaoyu's ability, I am worried that there will be unexpected dangers."
"Oh?" Emperor Chongping frowned slightly, his eyes filled with surprise.
If others said this, Emperor Chongping would not pay much attention to it, but now it is believed.
Jia Heng pondered for a moment and reminded: "Father, it is best to be prepared for a huge defeat of the Xining border army."
There were some things he had to say in advance and he couldn't sit back and watch things fail.
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Chongping's expression changed and he whispered: "Zi Yu, do you think the imperial court will send troops to the northwest immediately?"
Jia Heng pondered and said: "The capital camp has just passed the battle. If you want to raise troops to go, but if the Holy One needs it, I am willing to lead the troops to the northwest."
"You just got married, and I can't bear the pain of you always suffering from conquests." Emperor Chongping said, glanced at Princess Xianning not far away, and said warmly.
Jia Heng said: "Father, my son and I don't feel it's hard."
Princess Xianning took Li Chanyue's hand and said, "Father, since you are willing to share your worries with me, there is nothing wrong with Chanyue and me."
Emperor Chongping looked at the young man with satisfaction. He was originally worried that the young man would be greedy for pleasure and indulge in a gentle land. Now it seems that Zi Yu has not changed his innocent heart.
Emperor Chongping pondered for a moment and asked: "With the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp, plus the soldiers and horses of the Xinning Prefecture Guard in Qinghai, can the two sides solve the northwest border troubles in one fell swoop?"
Jia Heng said: "It's difficult for me to say, but I still have to choose people. If my father wants to wipe out Qinghai Mongolia and regain the Western Regions, he will have to use a hundred thousand troops."
In Qinghai, Mongolia and the Western Regions, a hundred thousand troops dispatched from the capital camp are almost enough.
Emperor Chongping pondered for a moment and said, "What if I just want to keep Xining, stabilize Qinghai, and force Heshuote Mongolia back?"
As he spoke, he added, "What I mean is that you are going to the south next to manage the New Deal. This is a major policy of the imperial court. In addition, there is also the Qing Dynasty and the suppression of pirates. It is not appropriate to start another war in the northwest, or in other words, it cannot be fought. A battle that will overwhelm the country."
Jia Heng's face showed hesitation and he said: "Father, if this is the case, there is no need to raise an army that will overwhelm the country."
Emperor Chongping nodded when he heard this, thinking about the joints in his mind.
If this is the case, maybe there is no need to ask Ziyu to make another trip, and he can also try the quality of Nan'an and others.
The Qinghai Mongols should not be as difficult to defeat as the Jurchens. Now that the Jingying army has fully recovered, it should not be difficult to expel the Heshuote Mongols.
From the founding of the Chen-Han Dynasty to the present day, during the Longzhi period, Shi Ding, the loyal marquis of Zhongjing, was granted the title of a frontier troublemaker in the northwest.
On the other side, Princess Xianning listened quietly to the conversation between Weng and her husband, waiting patiently, her bright eyes flashing, thinking about Song Yan.
