Daming Palace, inner study room
Emperor Chongping was silent for a moment and said: "In the memorial, Ziyu mentioned the merits of the New Deal and asked me to give him a wedding hairpin? What on earth is going on?"
That's just a girl from the Xue family, but she's just a merchant's daughter. This Lin Ruhai's daughter... there's something wrong with her.
But the young man in front of him, regardless of his achievements, is thinking about these things. Is he really infatuated? Or is it also imitating Wang Jian and Xiao He's self-destruction?
It can be said that as Jia Heng was promoted to the rank of first-class Duke due to his meritorious service and gained huge political prestige in the New Deal, he was already popular among the ministers of the Han Dynasty.
Once the New Deal became popular in the world, prestige would be added to it, and to some extent it would even threaten the imperial power.
Jia Heng's eyes moved slightly and he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I am a humble minister who started at a young age. He was promoted by your Majesty and was able to expand his ambitions. Over the years, I have been getting along with the Xue family's daughter and the Lin family's daughter for a long time, and gradually developed a friendship. Please also ask me." The Holy Spirit makes it possible.”
As he spoke, he lifted his robe and knelt down.
Emperor Chongping cast his eyes on the young man and said: "You, although the young man admires you, you should not indulge too much. Do you know that your achievements in the New Deal are enough to be famous in history? Now that there are such lewd and romantic things, I don't know how the world will view them. ,talk."
After this incident, at least many civil servants in the world looked down upon him.
Jia Heng raised his head and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have become the Duke of the country from a lowly humble minister. I have fulfilled my wishes and do not dare to ask for anything else. I just want to be loyal and diligent in my work, and my family will be safe and prosperous for a long time."
It is true that Yu Yuan has said that he is the most noble in the world and the lord of the six palaces in the world. He has put him in various ways. Looking at the history, it is rare.
Now that I see the sufferer, I actually feel a little guilty.
Looking at the sincerity and sincerity in the young man's eyes, Emperor Chongping was silent for a moment, and the faint suspicion deep in his heart faded away, and said: "I promised you Xianning and Chanyue, I knew you were the seed of infatuation, and then there was Le'an County Lord, in fact, there are a lot of criticisms from the ministers and the world. It is really inappropriate to mention that I am using the daughter of the Chen family to win over me. Do you know that this is what you, Jia Ziyu, mentioned?"
Jia Heng bowed his head again and said loudly: "It is difficult for me to repay the kindness of the Holy Father even if I am shattered to pieces."
It was indeed his fault regarding Tian Niuer.
He had not been able to hold back before, so he knelt down in front of the emperor.
Emperor Chongping looked calmly at the young man who seemed to be stating his "life ambition" and warned: "It's just that when you are young, you should be careful about sex and don't indulge too much."
Look again, people's hearts are fickle, and it also depends on whether the heirs can control such talents.
Perhaps he was addicted to wine and sex, and died young in order to maintain the friendship between the monarch and his subjects?
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongping was startled and quickly pushed away this expectation.
Emperor Chongping turned to ask: "Ziyu's previous memorial mentioned that he was planning to build a naval force in Tianjin and Weihai to attack North Korea from the sea. I don't know when to start this matter."
Jia Heng said warmly: "I want to wait until the New Deal is in full swing. Today, in June or July of summer, I will go to Tianjin to supervise the naval training."
"Summer is in June or July?" Emperor Chongping looked thoughtful and said softly: "Ziyu, don't rush around too much. First, rest in the mansion for a while and spend time with Mrs. Qin and her daughter."
Not to mention other things, the female family members in the capital, as well as Xianning and Chanyue, are all here, so there will be no such worries.
Moreover, Liaodong was not at peace, so these rumors could not be caused by the enemy secretly instigating and driving a wedge between him and Ziyu.
Chen Yuan had this intention when he assassinated the Supreme Emperor earlier.
After Jia Heng finished talking to Emperor Chongping, he did not linger in the palace for much, and then returned home.
…
…
While the monarch and his ministers were talking, on the other side, the beauty returned to Kunning Palace, accompanied by all the palace officials, Princess Xianning and Li Chanyue.
Palace Garden, Kunning Palace
In front of the palace, there are piles of green buns with clouds, and women in bright clothes are waiting in line. Between the buns with clouds, pearl hairpins and hairpins, and tassels are swaying.
Concubine Duanrong led a group of concubines, nuns and female officials to greet the graceful beauty. She walked quickly and said with a sad face, "Sister, you are back."
When the Song Taigong passed away, this beauty had to take care of Emperor Chongping in the capital, so she did not go south to attend the funeral. She felt guilty for it.
Under the slender eyebrows of the Song Dynasty, her beautiful eyes stared at her sister. For a moment, she felt like she was in a dream. She calmed down and said softly: "Sister, how are you doing these days? "
In fact, ever since the beauty entered the palace with high vermilion walls and hooked eaves, she couldn't help but feel as if time and space were intertwined, and it was like a dream.
All the obsessions and obsessions of sailing in the past, as well as the deep-rooted feelings of the people, are just like yesterday.
Concubine Duanrong cast her clear and bright eyes on that beauty's more beautiful and gorgeous face. She was surprised and said sadly: "Sister looks a lot more haggard."
There was something strange in Empress Song's heart. In a pair of narrow, clear phoenix eyes, she said softly: "I have been traveling all the way, almost sleeping in the open air. Don't add in the worries about the capital, and I have become what I am today."
If she was haggard and miserable when she was in Hangzhou, after arriving in Jinling, especially the absurdity she experienced along the way, she was really...
At that time, she was still suffering from her father's death, which was really shameless.
Concubine Duanrong could not detect what the beauty was thinking, and said softly: "Sister, please go to the palace to talk first."
Queen Song responded softly, and then, accompanied by Princess Xianning and Li Chanyue, entered the palace and sat down on the soft mattress.
Concubine Duanrong, under her black eyebrows in the distance, looked at her with clear eyes and asked with concern: "How is your family?"
Queen Song said softly: "Everything is fine at home."
Concubine Duanrong nodded and exchanged greetings.

Shenjing, Rongguofu, Rongqingtang
Just after Jia Heng returned to Shenjing City, Jia Mu in Rongguo Mansion also received the news and was talking and laughing with Xing, Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue and others in Rongqing Hall.
The entire Rongguo Mansion fell into a sea of joy.
At this moment, from the gate to the backyard, the servants and maids looked up with joy on their faces.
Jia Mu smiled and said, "I'm back now. I've been in the south for more than a year in the blink of an eye."
Aunt Xue smiled and said, "Now I'm back too."
But there were waves of bitterness in my heart.
Her precious girl, I really don’t know what to do, what to do when she comes back.
Mrs. Wang's fair and jade-like face was indifferent and emotionless. She gently pinched a circle of Buddhist beads in her hand and the corners of her mouth twitched.
Baoyu, whose face looked like the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, showed unabashed joy and said in a clear voice: "Sister Lin and Sister Bao are coming back."
During this period, Ke Baoyu felt extremely uncomfortable and scratched his head anxiously. All the girls and maids from the Ningrong and Rong mansions went south. Even the daughters-in-law like Sister Feng and Li Wan went south. , all returned to Jinling.
Although Xue and Lin have returned to Jia Heng, Baoyu doesn't care, or... I have the same surname as the child!
Aunt Xue glanced at Baoyu, feeling a little strange.
Mrs. Wang's face also looked a little unattractive.
Xue and Lin all followed Uncle Heng. Baoyu wouldn't do this if he had any ambition.
Jia Mu said, "Go and send someone to take a look."
At this moment, a nanny in bright clothes smiled, stepped forward and said, "Old lady, Grandma Zhu, Grandma Lian, Miss Bao and Miss Lin are all back and have arrived in the backyard."
Jia Mu smiled and said, "Yuanyang, come with me to welcome you."
After a while, I heard laughter like silver bells coming from afar, full of heartiness and brightness.
"Old Ancestor." Sister Feng was dressed in a vermilion dress, with clouds and emerald buns. The fragrance lingered on her clothes. Under her eyebrows, her phoenix eyes were bright and clear, and she was full of smiles.
At this moment, Li Wan, Chai Dai, San Chun, Yun Qin, Lan Xi, Wen Qi and other young girls, as well as the Cao family, also surrounded by maids and nannies, came to the front and called Jia Mu.
As for Miaoyu and Xing Xiuyan, accompanied by Ping'er, they headed to Huancui Temple with their big bellies.
Mother Jia had kind eyes and a smile on her face, and said: "Feng Yatou, Bao Yatou, and Yu'er are all back."
During this period of time, I missed Jia Mu badly.
The entire Rongqing Hall was deserted and there was no excitement at all.
At this moment, Baoyu looked dreamily at Daiyu, who had curved eyebrows and a bright face.
Daiyu, who has gone through human affairs, is in her prime, youthful and beautiful, and has some charm and charm, especially under her smoky eyebrows, her starry eyes are as bright as a starry rainbow, and her delicate and picturesque eyebrows are like Xi Shi.
Just as the original work said, Xue Pan was so intoxicated by the romantic atmosphere that he couldn't hold himself back after just one glance.
Sister Feng smiled and whispered: "Old ancestor."
Aunt Xue smiled and invited, "Old lady, come to the house and talk."
As everyone talked, Yingying Yanyan entered the Rongqing Hall.
At this moment, after bypassing a screen depicting peonies, they sat on several chairs covered with soft mattresses, and everyone gathered together to talk.
Jia Mu asked, "Did you have a good time in Jiangnan?"
Sister Feng smiled and said, "I played a lot in Jiangnan when I was a kid. It's just warmer over there."
Daiyu said softly: "I usually talk with the sisters at home."
Xiang Yun was eager to give it a try, but Tan Chun was holding Su's hand.
Jia Mu smiled and said, "Where's Brother Heng? Why don't you see him?"
At this moment, Baochai took over the conversation and said softly: "Brother Heng went into the palace with the palace."
Aunt Xue couldn't help but glance at the girl with a face that was as white as a pear, and felt a pang of pity in her heart.
During this period of time, Bao Yatou's suffering seemed to have reduced a lot.
Mother Jia nodded slightly and said in a low voice: "Brother Heng has been out for half a year. He should be able to treat you well at home this time, but he didn't even catch up with Qing's daughter's full-moon feast."
At this time, Sister Feng took over the conversation, with a smile lingering on her gorgeous face. Compared with the gloomy brows in the past, her aura was obviously much brighter, and she said: "Brother Heng said that there will be no war this year, and he will stay at home more." Some time.”
Mother Jia nodded and said, "You can't just wander outside all the time. You have to always be with the people at home."
Sister Feng said with a smile: "Who says it's not the case? In recent years, Brother Heng has never had a day off, leading troops to fight, and achieving meritorious services and promotions."
Not only do you have no time to do your work, but you also have no time to do other things...
As he spoke, he glanced at Li Wan, who was sitting not far away.
Li Wan was talking to a nanny at the moment, obviously asking about his precious son.
On the other side, in the hall of Ningguo Mansion, which is only separated by a wall——
Qin Keqing is wearing a light red dress with a beautiful and bright bun. She is sitting on a wooden chair carved with pear blossoms. Under her seat are Second Sister You, Third Sister You and others. Their clothes are gorgeous and bright, as far as the eye can see. , peach cheeks and almond eyes, charming and charming.
Third Sister You's pretty and charming face was covered with a layer of strong longing, and she said softly: "Sister Qin, uncle is coming back soon."
It's been a long time since she... saw her uncle.
Qin Keqing had a look of longing on his face and said softly: "It will take a while, until the palace gives a banquet."
During this time, my daughter got a little older and was almost able to call her mom, but he didn't come back.
Second Sister You's eyebrows are as gentle as water, but her bright and quiet face is a little dazed.
Unknowingly, she has been in Ningguo Mansion for three years. Who knows how she came here in the past three years?
The man gets older every year, and the man says nothing.
Just as the female relatives in the Ningguo Mansion were waiting with various thoughts, they saw a nanny entering the hall, saying in a joyful tone: "Uncle Heng is back."
This time, Jia Heng did not go to Rongguo Mansion where all the ladies were gathered, but returned to Ningguo Mansion immediately.
Qin Keqing's beautiful face was full of joy and she said softly: "I'm back now, let's go and welcome him."
While talking, Qin Keqing and You's three sisters came out of the wing, stood under the eaves of the corridor, and looked at the three inner doors at the end of the corridor surrounded by green painted railings.
At this moment, I saw the boy in python suit walking quickly, his calm face bathed in sunlight, and the shadow of the sun reflected on the bridge of his nose.
Because after giving birth to a child, Qin Keqing's jade face with soft lines was plump and graceful, and her voice seemed to be murmuring a little as she said, "Husband."
If you count, the couple haven't even seen each other for half a year.
Jia Heng stood on the spot, raised his eyes to look at the graceful and gorgeous beauty, who was like a delicate peony, and said in a low voice: "My dear."
Now that I am back in Jinling, as time goes by, the marginal effect of Sweet Girl begins to appear, and my wife is still my sweetheart.
Under the beautiful eyebrows, Sanjie You's bright jade face looked at the young man, with a look of infatuation in her beautiful eyes.
Jia Heng came closer and took Qin Keqing's bare hand. He could vaguely feel the trembling of the owner of the plain hand and said softly: "Ke Qing."
Qin Keqing's slender and plump jade face seemed to be filled with lovesickness, and she suddenly felt a sore nose. There was mist in her beautiful, watery eyes, and there were a few tears, and she said softly: "Husband."
Jia Heng immediately hugged the beauty into his arms, leaned into her ear, and whispered softly: "My dear."
At this moment, Mr. You, Second Sister You, and Third Sister You quietly looked at the couple hugging each other without disturbing them.
The two hugged each other and separated suddenly. Qin Keqing felt a little ashamed, took the handkerchief and wiped the tears on her cheeks, and said softly: "Husband, come inside and talk."
So many people are watching right now.
Jia Heng nodded, stared at Sister You who was not far away, then took Qin Keqing's hand and walked towards the house.
Entering the house, the couple sat down.
Jia Heng said: "Where is my daughter?"
Hearing that Jia Heng mentioned his daughter for the first time, Qin Keqing's beautiful eyebrows curved, her heart was inexplicably happy, and she said softly: "Nanny will hold her."
After a while, I saw a nanny approaching with a swaddling baby in her arms.
Qin Keqing smiled and said, "The little girl is chubby. I wonder what I will do in the future."
Jia Heng said: "It would be better to be fatter. I'll see how women change in the future."
I saw the baby stretching out two white arms, its white and rosy face smiling brightly, and its eyes as black as grapes,
He kept babbling in his mouth.
Jia Heng smiled and said, "Are you calling me daddy?"
As he said that, he hugged the swaddled baby and kissed the baby's face, which was full of milk. He felt that the skin was soft, tender, and fragrant, and it was so cute.
Under Qin Keqing's slender eyebrows, her bright eyes looked at the young man in the python suit with a smile, and there was a hint of sweetness in his eyes.
It would be great if their family of three could last forever like this.
Jia Heng held her daughter and played with her for a while, then said, "Qing, Fu'er is almost one year old."
"It's still early." Qin Keqing said softly with a smile on her face and starry eyes.
Jia Heng smiled and said softly: "We will have to celebrate well then."
The couple were talking, and after a while, grandma came in and reported: "Uncle, grandma, the old lady asked me to go over to the West Mansion to talk."
Jia Heng's face paused slightly, he looked at Qin Keqing who was standing aside, and he handed the infant baby to the nanny beside him.
"Husband, please go first." Qin Keqing said softly, with her beautiful eyes as full as water under her willow-leaf slender eyebrows.
Jia Heng nodded, looked at Qin Keqing with warm eyes, and said softly: "I'll be back later."
Jia Mu called him over, probably asking about her experience going south, and maybe about Xiaoxiao's marriage?
After leaving the hall and coming to the corridor, I happened to see the tall girl with a duck-oval face and a braid, and said softly: "Mandarin duck."
Yuanyang's beautiful eyebrows looked at the young man in the python suit with some joy, and said softly: "Uncle Heng."
As he said that, under the gaze of the young man, he changed his words and said: "Husband."
Jia Heng came closer, stretched out his hand to hold the girl's slender hair, and said softly: "Mandarin duck, long time no see."
Ping Yuanyang can be said to be the three giants in the maid world, especially Jin Yuanyang who has the slimmest figure and the most outstanding temperament.
Yuanyang whispered: "Husband, the old lady is waiting in Rongqing Hall... um~"
Before the girl finished speaking, she saw the young man approaching, his curved and thin eyelashes trembling slightly, and his face with a few small freckles was as red as rouge.
It was a long-lost cherishment and intimacy.
After a while, Yuanyang gently pushed the young man's shoulder and whispered: "The old lady is still waiting over there, let's go over first."
Fortunately, she was in a secluded place and not many people around her could notice her.
Jia Heng smiled and said, "Then after I meet the old lady,"
During this time, I also missed this golden mandarin duck in Jinxinxiukou.
…
…
Rongguo Mansion, Rongqing Hall
At this moment, Jia Mu was sitting on an Arhat bed, surrounded by Sister Feng's amusing children, and the whole Rongqing Hall was filled with laughter and laughter, as if the long-lost bustle of the past had resumed.
Baoyu kept leaning towards Daiyu and asked, "Sister Lin, has it snowed in Jinling this year?"
Daiyu's beautiful face was covered with a layer of discomfort, her starry eyes were cold, and she said softly: "Brother Bao, I don't remember either."
Baoyu: "???"
What's the meaning? You don't remember what happened?
At this moment, Xiren said: "Girl, you must be tired after sitting on the boat for so long. Why don't you go back to Xiaoxiang Pavilion and take a rest."
Daiyu responded softly and was about to get up.
Well, he obviously didn't intend to chat with Baoyu there.
While several people were talking, a nanny wearing silk and satin quickly entered the wing and said to Jia Mu with a look of joy on her face.
"Uncle is here."
Everyone in the hall who was laughing and chatting happily stopped talking and laughing when they heard this, and raised their eyes to look in the direction of the door.
Jia Mu said happily: "Brother Heng is back."
After a while, Jia Heng stepped in, saluted Jia Mu who was sitting on the Arhat bed, and said, "I have seen the old lady."
"Brother Heng, get up quickly." Jia Mu looked at the young man with a smile, her face full of joy.
