The Red Mansions

Chapter 1201 Queen Song: No, how could he?No, no...

Let's go back in time a little. Just when Jia Heng was spending the Lantern Festival with Song Tian in Zhuixia Palace, the Wu Gui family in Shenjing City was also welcoming relatives.

Shenjing City, Wu Mansion
At this moment, from the main gate to Yimen and the second gate, there are lights all the way, with torches like dragons, making the hall brightly lit.

In the clear starry sky, a bright white moon shines brightly on the earth. The bright moonlight falls gently on the earth, silently.

Along with confetti flying and gunpowder smoke filling the air, firecrackers crackled and lanterns hung in front of the eaves of the courtyard swayed in the wind.

Wu Guiren came out of the sedan chair with the attendants of the palace maids. Under the colorful emerald jade crown, the tassels on her bright forehead were lightly covered. The beauty's face was bright and her skin was as good as snow. Under the lights of the Shangyuan Festival, she became even more gorgeous. Bright and bright.

"Empress, we're here," the female officer said.

At this time, all the wives of the Wu family, led by Wu Tianyou's wife, walked along a paved red carpet to greet her. Mrs. Wu looked at the beauty, her voice was joyful and clear, and she whispered softly: "I have met the empress."

While talking, everyone welcomed the beauty into a palace specially used for celebrations. At this moment, the lights were like daylight and the lanterns were glowing.

Mr. Wu sat down and accepted the congratulatory gifts from the ladies below.

"I have met your empress." Mrs. Zhu Gaoming below said.

Wu Guiren glanced at all the ladies who were present. For a moment, his expression was a little dazed. His lips were slightly opened and he said, "Let's all get back together."

Although he disguised himself as the noble Wu man, he had not been out of the palace for five or six years, so he did not know the wives of the Wu family and Mrs. Gaoming in front of him.

Fortunately, this beauty had a superior mind and had already roughly figured out which one of the many imperial wives with beaded hair was Wu Guiren's mother through her position and the color of her uniform.

At this moment, Mrs. Zhonggaoming slowly came forward, crying and looking at her.

Wu Guiren stood up, supported the silver-haired Mrs. Wu, and said, "Mother, today is a day of family reunion and family reunion. Why are you crying?"

Compared to Concubine Yuan's tears when she was visiting for relatives, there were no tears on this beauty's face. Although her voice was low and mournful, it still seemed to be somewhat deliberate.

Mrs. Wu's hair was gray, she stretched out her hand to wipe the crystal tears on her cheeks, and said softly: "I haven't seen you for five or six years, and I don't know how you are doing in the palace."

Wu Guiren said softly: "It's okay to be in the palace. The queen and the imperial concubine in the palace take good care of my daughter."

Compared to Yuan Chun, who "didn't have much interest at all", Wu Guiren naturally didn't have much emotion when he saw the Wu family's imperial edicts in front of him.

Afterwards, all the officials exchanged greetings.

Guiren Wu talked with Mrs. Wu until the third watch of the day. The beauty also slowly left the Wu Mansion under the urging of the palace eunuch, and headed towards the palace garden under the support of the sedan bearers. .

At this moment, the lanterns on both sides of the street swayed in the wind, and the orange light flowing out was like water, soaking through the bamboo curtains, shining on the beautiful woman's jade-like skin. At the alternation of light and dark, the light seemed to penetrate the corners of the eyes. A leather mask, with a few outlines of Qin Keqing vaguely visible on the face.

Wu Guiren, or the Holy Mother of White Lotus, gently opened the curtain, looked at the fireworks "whooshing" above the palace with her quiet eyes, her lips were slightly moist, and finally she sighed quietly.

……

……

The interplay of light and shadow is like turning over a book of time with a yellowed cover, and time has come again to early February of the 17th year of Chongping.

The spring is cold and the evening wind is cold.

Jinling, Ningguofu
At dusk, the blurred lights reflected the tung oil and gold paint plaque of Ningguo Mansion. With the sound of horse hoofbeats, Jia Heng also returned to Ningguo Mansion.

"The uncle is back." Qingwen said in surprise as she raised her eyes to look at the young man in the flower hall.

Jia Heng looked at the slim girl with a smile, his eyes lingering on Qingwen's beautiful face, and said softly: "Prepare some hot water, I have something to do later."

As he approached Jinling City, his longing for Tianniu'er became more and more intense. He would go see Tianniuer later.

Qingwen picked up the teapot and poured tea, and said softly: "Uncle, where did you come back from?"

Jia Heng took the tea cup from Qingwen and asked, "Anqing Mansion, how are you doing at home these days?"

Qingwen smiled and said softly: "It's good, the snow has melted, and the girls are still flying kites today."

Compared with the scent of makeup and powder that Jia Heng brought home every day, this kind of dusty outside life, eating and sleeping in the open air, undoubtedly made Qingwen feel much more at peace.

Jia Heng gently took the girl's bare hand and asked with a smile: "Have you flown the kite?"

Qing pursed her pink lips and said softly: "Let it go."

Then the young man came closer.

Qingwen quickly closed her bright eyes at this moment, feeling satisfied for a while.

After all these years, the young master still likes her.

Afterwards, Jia Heng took a bath under Qingwen's service, washed away the dust from his body, changed into a pair of brand new clothes, and headed to the palace garden.

At this time, Jia Heng came to the palace. When he raised his eyes, he looked at the girl with beautiful features and called in a low voice: "Xiaoxiao."

Chen Xiao frowned his beautiful eyebrows, and there was a trace of ridicule on his jade face, which was like a thin layer of frost. He asked in a cold voice: "Has everything in Anhui been settled?"

Jia Heng nodded and said warmly: "It's all done. I just came over to the palace to see you."

Chen Xiao glanced at Jia Heng and said quietly: "Open your eyes and tell lies. Are you looking at me?"

I'm afraid he just came back and went to look for Queen Marie, but I don't know why he couldn't forget her so much.

Jia Heng's face was slightly dull, he reached out and took the girl's delicate hand, and asked: "Xiaoxiao, have you had dinner?"

Chen Xiao pulled Jia Heng backhand and said, "After you have eaten, come with me. I have something to do with you."

Jia Heng nodded.

The two of them came to Chen Xiao's residence one after another, which was an ancient side hall. It was when night fell, and the thin and mottled lights shone through the window lattice on a lacquered wooden table.

Chen Xiao held down the young man's hand trying to catch the monster and said, "Something may happen over there in Shandong recently."

Jia Heng hugged the girl and whispered: "Shandong?"

Chen Xiao said: "Shandong has just suffered a snowstorm."

Jia Heng pondered for a moment and said: "In the past few days, I have also seen from the Di newspaper that Shandong has been hit by snowstorms recently. I heard that the Confucius family donated 100 million stones of food to relieve the crisis. Apart from this, there should be nothing else. It’s over.”

Many times, conditions have been clearly negotiated, such as children's admission to school, but they have to talk about alumni donations. This is the same reason. If it is too naked an exchange of interests, it will not sound good.

"There isn't that much food, and because of the snow disaster, the people had some troubles, but now they are being suppressed." Chen Xiao's eyebrows were curved, with a hint of embarrassment in her bright eyes, and she lowered her eyes to look at the man who was feasting on the snow pears. juvenile.

Really, never forget to fool around.

Jia Heng calmed down and asked, "Will there be new troubles in the White Lotus Sect recently?"

Chen Xiao's crystal-clear jade face had a solemn look on her face, and she whispered: "Many soldiers in the guard station are from poor backgrounds, and many of them have received blessings from their teachers."

Jia Heng's face was thoughtful, and his mind drifted away for a moment.

This was the hint given to him by Xiaoxiao. When the White Lotus Sect assassinated King Zhongshun and caused trouble in Beijing, he sent the Beijing camp to wipe out the school once, but he did not expect that it had infiltrated the local security system.

"What are you thinking about?" Chen Xiaojian raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of embarrassment in his cold eyes.

Jia Heng said: "It's nothing."

Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows, his eyes were dark, and he said softly: "But I don't recommend that you stop it in advance."

The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole is behind. Only after the chaos in Shandong can he be useful again.

Jia Heng frowned and was surprised for a moment, then said, "Why do you say that?"

"If even a little bit of what you did today spreads out, do you think the person in the palace will tolerate you?" Chen Xiao asked with a look of ridicule on his face.

He hugged and kissed Queen Marie, and did such "cosseting" things.

She was indulging him, not because she wanted to help him do evil.

Jia Heng's eyebrows were raised, his eyes darkened a bit, and he said warmly: "Now, we can only take one step and take a look."

Chen Xiao said softly: "If there can be chaos here in Shandong, you can also escape from the whirlpool of seizing the rightful son in Beijing. Otherwise, you have taken advantage of Tianniuer... so much, what is going on."

In her opinion, whether it is the King of Wei or the King of Chu, these people are the most aggressive and fight to the death, and then the person in front of them has a chance.

Jia Heng looked a little unnatural and whispered: "You...don't call me Tianniuer."

"You screamed like a sweet girl, making me affectionate, but on the other hand, you didn't let me shout... um~" Chen Xiao was about to speak, but saw that the young man had quickly come over, and he was so soft and soft that he was stunned. My own lips blocked the second half of the words.

The girl struggled gently with Jia Heng's arm. After a while, she clenched her pink fist with her slender hands and gently beat Jia Heng a few times. Her crystal jade face turned red with embarrassment, her beautiful eyes filled with anger, and she said angrily: "Here You said, don’t kiss me.”

She was looking at that...

bah bah.

The girl spat lightly.

Jia Heng said: "I am not a relative."

It's the other way around.

After a while, Chen Xiao nestled her head in the boy's arms, with a hint of embarrassment in her clear eyes.

Jia Heng gently stroked Chen Xiao's face and whispered: "I just asked you not to shout, and be careful that the walls have ears."

Of course, both of them had low voices. After all, they were the "Martial Arts Grand Masters" who had not yet moved. There was indeed no one outside the hall at this moment.

Chen Xiao frowned, his clear eyes were crystal clear, and he said softly: "Then what are you going to do? Do you want to make the same mistake again and again later?"

Jia Heng's eyes were slightly lost, and he said: "It can't be said that way. I can only say that the fate is so deep that it is difficult to let go."

Chen Xiao no longer wanted to speak, her face was rosy, she pursed her pink lips, and said softly: "Then go ahead and I'll give you a lookout."

What can you do when you encounter someone like this? It's just a matter of his temper.

Jia Heng was silent for a moment, looked deeply at Chen Xiao, and then headed to Zhuixia Palace.

……

……

Palace Garden, Zhuixia Palace
The beauty was having dinner and ordered the female official beside her: "Go and call Princess Le'an over and sit down to eat together."

The female officer Nianyun responded softly and then left the palace.

Not long after, Nianyun walked in quickly and said softly: "Your Majesty, Duke Wei Guo has returned from Anhui and wishes to express his regards to your Majesty."

The beauty who was eating the meal was in a state of shock. Under her slender willow eyebrows, her charming and flowing phoenix eyes shone brightly, and she hurriedly said: "Go and call the person over."

This little fox came back from Anhui.

Nianyun gently responded with a yes.

After a while, I saw a young man wearing a python suit embroidered with gold threads. He walked in quickly, bowed and said, "I have seen the empress. She is a thousand years old." Although there was a distance, that person was still there. The familiar fragrance of charming flesh is like a refreshing poison, exuding a fatal attraction.

However, he took a quick glance and found that Tian Niu'er's face seemed a little more haggard than when he left.

The beauty looked at the young man with gleaming phoenix eyes. For some reason, there was a light blush on his snow-skinned jade face. Her heart couldn't help but feel a surge of joy, as well as a hint of hatred, and she nodded. He said: "Ziyu, please go down without any ceremony. There is an embroidered pier over there. Have you ever had dinner? If not, we can have dinner together."

Jia Heng straightened his clothes and said, "I would like to thank your empress for the banquet."

The beauty's jade face was covered with a hint of joy, her red lips were slightly opened, and she said again: "Has the matter in Anhui been settled?"

Jia Heng said: "Go back to your Majesty, everything about the military camp has been decided."

Under the beauty's dark eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were staring at the young man, and she said in a smooth voice: "Then there will be nothing wrong in Jiangnan. When will you return to the capital?"

Jia Heng said: "Wei Chen is planning to return to the palace in the next few days. Where is the empress? Has Prince Liang ever come back?"

After returning to the palace, the risks will be greater.

The beauty nodded, her jade face smiled lightly, and said softly: "Wei'er is still in Hangzhou at the moment, and may have to return to Beijing with his uncle. I will go to Beijing with Xianning and Chanyue then. .”

Jia Heng said: "At that time, I will escort the queen back to Beijing."

Boating along the river, there are so many people and so many eyes, nothing is likely to happen.

The beauty raised her eyes to look at the young man's thin face, and whispered: "Let's not talk about these things for now. Ziyu's journey has been dusty, so it's time for dinner."

Jia Heng nodded slightly and just thanked him.

The beauty picked up a pair of bamboo chopsticks, picked up the dishes on the plate, and ate them in small bites. The beauty behaved gracefully, but as time passed, her eyebrows frowned, and her beautiful face became a little absent-minded.

In the past, we used to secretly play with each other under the table, but now there is no more...

Thinking back to the seriousness of the young man just now, the resentment deep in the beauty's heart became even more intense.

It's not that the beauty has to let Jia Heng be obsessed with her, but she is used to that kind of... thrills, but now she is suddenly "broken up on a cliff", and it is inevitable to worry about gains and losses.

In this way, with a group of female officials and nuns attending from a distance, the two of them had dinner in a polite manner.

Jia Heng took the handkerchief and wiped his mouth, stood up from his seat, cupped his hands and said, "My dear, if there is nothing else to do, I will take my leave first."

Empress Song: "..."

No, are you serious?What are you doing at this time?Just come over for a meal?

The beauty was stunned for a moment and said softly: "Ziyu, I have something to ask you privately about King Wei."

I really wanted to drive this person away as soon as I opened my mouth, but deep down in my heart I felt a little reluctant to let him go.

Jia Heng's expression changed slightly, and he whispered: "Your Majesty, King Wei..."

As expected, Tian Niuer also missed him a little.

The beauty frowned and said, "I have something to ask you."

After saying that, without saying much, he stood up and left the main hall, heading straight towards the side hall.

Jia Heng had no choice but to follow.

In the eyes of onlookers in the palace, it was Empress Song who wanted to consult Jia Heng about confidential matters because of King Wei.

Entering the side hall, the beauty turned her head, looked at the personal female officer Nianyun, and ordered: "Nianyun, you go down first."

When Nianyun heard the words, he bowed to the beauty Yingying and said softly: "Yes, empress."

As he spoke, he slowly retreated.

At this time, Nianyun actually felt that the two of them wanted to discuss some secrets about King Wei's succession.

Side hall, above the attic——

Jia Heng followed the beauty to the warm pavilion by the window in the innermost room on the second floor. At this moment, the wind whistled in the bamboo forest outside the pavilion window, and the cool spring breeze blew on his face.

"Kneel down." The beauty's scolding voice sounded.

Jia Heng: "???"

What else does sweet girl want to do?Kneel down to serve?This is a bit much.

Seeing the young man's astonishment, the beauty's phoenix eyes were full of amusement, but her beady voice was full of seriousness, and she said softly: "Ziyu, kneel down, I want to interrogate you."

Jia Heng said: "Yes, empress."

As he said this, he did not kneel down, but came closer, hugged the beauty's plump body, and said in his ear: "Sweet girl, I'm thirsty."

At this moment, the beauty felt the young man's approach, her delicate body slightly moved away, her cheeks were as red as a blush, but she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

This is what she is familiar with.

She really couldn't help but feel embarrassed when this beautiful lady who loved the world took the initiative to greet her.

After just a moment of trance, the beauty's face turned red with embarrassment, and her breathing was already a little hurried. There was shame and annoyance in her charming eyes, and she said softly: "Don't be ridiculous first~"

However, the young man had already come closer, and his soft, hot breath hit him, like a torrent of rivers, annihilating everything.

Then the familiar touch coming from the front made the beauty's heart tremble.

Jia Heng built a snowman and whispered: "Sweet girl, you must have missed me too."

The beauty's jade face was blushing, her white teeth were biting her cherry lips, her voice was slightly annoyed, and she said softly: "The things you promised me have not been done yet."

He clearly promised her at the beginning that he would help her give Ran'er advice.

Jia Heng pretended to be surprised and said, "What's going on?"

At this moment, the pickled aroma surrounding the beauty almost filled his nose.

The beauty gently twisted the hand that was making trouble, her pink cheeks flushed with shame, and she whispered: "Don't pretend to be confused."

As long as they are tired of being together, they will take advantage.

Jia Heng looked slightly surprised and whispered: "Tianniu, please be patient."

The beauty's jade face was dyed with scarlet, and she said softly: "You accepted the deposit and agreed, and you told me to be calm and calm? When you bullied me, why didn't you say calm and calm?"

Jia Heng warmed his hands and whispered: "What kind of bullying? Sweet girl is not feeling well."

beauty:"???"

Who is comfortable?Ah, this little fox is so lawless. Did she let him serve her?It's like he insists on thinking about it, and he's happy with it.

The beauty was a little embarrassed for a moment and said: "Don't touch me, I don't know who is willing to do it..."

Jia Heng said: "Okay, I am willing to humble myself and bow my head."

Really submissive.

Jia Heng's mind moved slightly, and he gently held the beauty's plump and round body, which was a little plumper than a millstone, and whispered: "Sweet girl, this time to deal with the military camp is an opportunity, let Ran'er..."

The beauty frowned her beautiful eyebrows, her beautiful eyes showed shame and annoyance, and said in a trembling voice: "What's Ran'er? Don't call Ran'er?"

Jia Heng said: "Then let King Wei take care of military affairs."

Saying that, Jin Chai was buried in the snow...it was really unbearable.

At this moment, the beauty was gently holding the boy's shoulders with both hands. A golden hairpin tassel in her hair was shaking non-stop. She raised her beautiful head, her delicate body was trembling, and she said softly: "Take care of yourself." Military settlements are something that offends people very much."

I don’t know why, but the end of the voice is a little tactful.

The beauty was obviously not a fool, and she knew that rectifying the military camp would easily offend the military leader of the local guard station.

Jia Heng seemed a little hesitant, his voice became hesitant, and he whispered: "Then let King Wei help the court implement the new policy. Don't say that you offend the civil servants. You have to choose someone."

As he said that, he helped the beauty sit on the soft couch next to the Nuan Pavilion.

The beauty slowly sat down and stared at the handsome young man who was busy with himself. The graceful and gorgeous face was already as bright as fire, and she endured the shame in her heart. He said in a low voice: "If you think of another idea, the worst thing will happen is that I will give you... another favor."

The words that followed were soft and unnoticeable.

Since he is willing to be humble, let him be willing to be humble.

Jia Heng: "..."

So, let him wait for you for a while longer?Who is giving alms to whom?
Jia Heng said: "Should Sweet Girl pay a little more interest?"

He has always been beheading his head and reaping the benefits, and he always returns after nine outings and thirteen out of ten.

Jia Heng said, without saying much, he squatted down and came closer.

Before leaving this time, he wanted to give Tian Niuer an unforgettable memory.

The beauty was now familiar with the young man's methods. Her heart trembled for a moment, and then she closed her narrow, clear eyes as usual. The beauty's eyelashes were thin, curved and long.

And her face, known as the Snow Beauty, although plump and bright, is now as red as an apple, as bright and beautiful as ever.

She did this for Ran'er, and after all, she had done it last time, and she felt pity for Ziyu. After all, the warm water in the cave crossed each other, and now it could be regarded as a drop of water in return for the spring of spring.

The beauty was thinking wildly, her thoughts were racing at this moment, her heart skipped a beat, and she spat in her heart.

What is this word?This is so disrespectful, how could she...

The beauty's face was rosy at this moment, her nose was softly humming, and the golden hairpin tassel on her hair was still swaying gently for an unknown period of time. Suddenly, the tassel paused lightly, and then swayed crazily.

I don't know how long it took, but the beauty's delicate body trembled, and her phoenix eyes were blurred.

I don't know what I was thinking. When I tilted my head, I couldn't help but glance at the bronze mirror. I saw that face as red as rouge, which was as beautiful as rouge. Yun, even the beauty herself was slightly stunned.

Although her nose was sore this time, she did not shed tears like before. She was just in a daze, looking at the red and pink lips, slightly open, and breathing slightly.

The smooth and round chin, slightly raised, is as white as snow, like a swan.

But for some reason, the beauty felt an unexplained sense of loss in her heart.

However, at this moment, the beauty suddenly opened her eyes, and with a sudden glance, she was startled by the young man who was armed with a sharp blade and had a murderous intention.

No, how could he?This little fox... No, no!

After all, there was no real step before.

The beauty let out a cry, and was about to hold up her body as soft as a silkworm to stop her. Her pink lips slightly opened to stop her from speaking. But at this moment, the beauty's mind was shocked, her beautiful eyes widened, and then her delicate body trembled as if struck by thunder. stop.
