The Red Mansions

Chapter 842 King Chu: He is going to be a father again! (Ask for a monthly pass!)

In the Jinyang Princess Palace, in the study——

In the afternoon, the sun shines on the earth, it is winter, and there are still traces of frost and dew on the eaves tiles on both sides of the roof ridge.

Jia Heng and Princess Jinyang hugged each other and talked for a while. Princess Jinyang left the study, leaving Jia Heng and Yuan Chun the separate conversation space in the study.

Jia Heng raised his eyes and looked at the beauty not far away who wore a goose-yellow jacket and skirt and a hairpin in a cloud bun. Yuan Chun, who was in her early twenties, was at the age of youth, and her snowy and plump face was full of gentleness and charm. As a whole, it is like a delicate and charming peony flower, graceful and beautiful.

"Brother Heng." Yuan Chun looked at the young man and said softly.

Jia Heng hugged Yuan Chun in his arms, and attached it to the ear of the beauty wearing a light red earring, and said, "What is big sister doing these days?"

Yuan Chun's white, greasy and moist cheeks gradually turned red, as if a beautiful cloud had dispersed, bright for no reason, and said in a low voice: "Help Your Highness read some account books, when will brother Heng leave for Beijing?"

Jia Heng said in a low voice: "It's just for a few days, when the time comes, I have to trouble my eldest sister to take care of His Highness here."

"Yeah." Yuan Chun responded softly, pursed her pink lips, and said softly, "His Highness has a body now, so it's not suitable for her to travel long distances. I will take good care of her here."

The three of them have been together for countless times, and their relationship has gradually become stronger, but Yuan Chun also has a little bit of taste in his heart when he listens to Jia Heng's words.

Jia Heng climbed over the mountains, lightly piled up a snowman, and said, "Does Big Sister want a child too?"

Recently, two people basically avoided being together, otherwise it would be very troublesome if both of them were pregnant.

Yuan Chun's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words, his plump cheeks were already blushing, and he said in a trembling voice, "Where is it?"

Jia Heng said softly: "That envy is written all over his face, I am your husband, you don't think I can't see it, do you?"

When Yuan Chun heard the words, there was a shy look on that soft and beautiful face, and he said angrily: "What kind of husband, you talk nonsense again."

She was really envious, that she was about the same age as Zhen Qing and Zhen Xue, who were close friends in her boudoir back then, their two children were not young, but her stomach still hadn't moved.

Jia Heng said softly: "We're still young, and it won't be too late to have a baby in two years. I think that when things settle down in Beijing, I can also give big sister a guarantee for her children in the future."

Yuan Chun heard the words, her beautiful eyes seemed to be foggy, she fixedly looked at the young man, her heart moved slightly, what does guarantee... mean?
Jia Heng said softly: "You followed me without a name, and you suffered a lot of grievances. The child can't be wronged again in the future."

Hearing this, Yuan Chun felt warm in his heart, and said softly, "Brother Heng, you know that I have never felt wronged."

After thinking about it, he said in a low voice, "You can't wrong the child, eh~~"

Jia Heng smiled, looked at Yuan Chun, and moved closer.

Yuan Chun's soft and water-like eyes cast a shadow over the curved eyebrows, and he stretched out his hand to gently touch Jia Heng's neck.

After a while, Yuan Chun's jade face was slightly red, and he leaned his head on Jia Heng's arms, and said in a low voice: "Brother Heng is going back to Beijing this time, will they all go back too?"

Jia Heng said: "Sister Xue, Sister Lin, Sister Yun, and Third Sister all go back. It doesn't matter if you have a letter or something for the old lady. I will take them back together."

Last time, the Cao family led Li Wen and Li Qi, and seemed to want to go to Beijing to join Li Wan.

And Mrs. You will return to Beijing this time, mainly because Mrs. You, Second Sister You, and Third Sister You are all in the capital.

Yuan Chun said softly: "Sister Xue and Sister Lin... Brother Heng is usually more careful."

If she is pregnant before she is married, spreading the word will put a lot of pressure on Xue Lin and the two of them, and gossip can kill people.

As Yuan Chun said, her beautiful eyes gazed affectionately, and she said softly: "You are careful, I don't want to remind you."

Jia Heng whispered: "I will pay attention, by the way, you talked to them a few days ago, how was it in private?"

Sometimes, he couldn't see the flashes of swords and swords of Chai and Dai.

Yuan Chun smiled, and said: "I see that the two of them don't have any signs of re-emergence, both of them are sensible and good girls."

She could always trust his vision, these two were the most outstanding in the house, and he immediately fell in love with them.

Jia Heng said: "That's good, if you fight back and forth like in the palace, it's not interesting at all."

Bringing Chai and Dai back to the capital will probably be even more lively, because after the new year, Baochai is one year older, and the marriage may have to be paid close attention.

With the addition of Baoyu in the middle, Mrs. Wang reckons that she should have come to realize by now that the in-laws that her son can choose may not be as outstanding as Daiyu and Baochai.

Especially after Daiyu's father, Gao Sheng, returned to the capital, would Mrs. Wang become concerned?Have to guard against.

"When you go back to Beijing, urge Baoyu more. Baoyu is in Beijing, let him study hard, don't be too naughty, and take the scientific examination next year." hope.

Jia Heng gently pinched Yuan Chun's slightly baby-fat face, and said seriously: "Don't worry, my brother-in-law will take good care of him."

Yuan Chun glanced at Jia Heng shyly, and asked: "Brother Heng, you said that Baoyu is not young anymore, should we make a marriage for him? Baoqin is a good thing for me, after getting in touch with her in the past few days. "

Originally, she had some preference for Sister Xue, but it is obviously not possible now, Baoqin is about the same age, so it is more suitable.

Jia Heng said: "Baoqin, her father wants to find her a graduate from the imperial examination."

Speaking of Baoyu, I couldn't help but think of that chubby girl who was as white as snow, delicate and cute. After arriving in Beijing, my sister-in-law will probably be very rare by Jiamu. She will arrange any scarlet cloak and cloak. In his case, it is easy to cast his eyes on Baoqin or Xiangyun.

Yuan Chun said softly, "But Baoyu's marriage..."

Jia Heng said: "He's still young, so he's not in a hurry. Besides, isn't he going to study next year?"

After Yuan Chun heard the words, he couldn't say anything else, and leaned his head against Jia Heng's arms, enjoying a moment of tranquility.

The conversation was divided into two parts. After the meeting between King Jing of Beijing and Jia Heng, he was exhausted and returned. When he returned to the post house and sat down, his face was still full of vigor.

At this time, a young servant mentioned that Princess Beijing sent a nanny to visit King Beijing. King Beijing thought about it, looked at the nanny and asked, "Where are the princesses and Xinxin living now? I'll go and see." .”

The mother said: "Go back to the lord, something happened to the Zhen family in the past few days. The Zhen family has a mansion on Qilin Street and Lihua Lane, which is a street away. The princess is now living in the mansion with the princess of Chu. It was found out that she was pregnant, and the king of Chu also rushed to the mansion from the posthouse."

Zhen Qing's execution ability is very strong. After being reminded by Jia Heng, she recently counted the days and arranged a scene where she fainted and asked a doctor for diagnosis and treatment, and then...the princess was there.

And the king of Chu, who was still in the post house, was overjoyed when he learned that he had a child like this, and returned to the mansion without stopping.

Hearing this, King Beijing couldn't help but startled, and asked, "Princess Chu is pregnant?"

Earlier, when I heard that the son of King Chu was assassinated in the posthouse, I felt sorry for the matter, because the only son of King Chu was his only son, and if the son was assassinated, he didn't know what to do about the issue of succession in the future.

Now that he has a child again, God bless King Chu.

King Beijing and King Chu are brothers-in-law, and they actually have some contacts during the festivals, but King Beijing always keeps in mind the last words of the previous generation of King Beijing. It is inappropriate to get involved in such a tragic matter of the prince seizing the throne.

King Beijing Jing stood up and said, "Let's go and have a look."

Qilin Street, Lihua Lane

In the front hall of the house, the King of Chu came with a few servants, as well as the Chief of the Palace, and the Chief Bookkeeper. He listened patiently to the Lang Zhong after he finished talking about Zhen Qing's situation. With an excited look, he said, "Have you ever confirmed it?"

In the past few days, as time passed, the king of Chu also suddenly realized a serious matter. He didn't have a man under his knees, so what should he do?

If there is no male, this will be a deduction item in the competition for the position of the Eastern Palace, and the hearts of the subordinates will also fluctuate.

Then a strong panic swept King Chu's body and mind.

Seeing the eager eyes of the King of Chu, Nalang felt dizzy in his heart, forced a smile and said: "My lord, now the pulse condition is slippery occasionally, but it seems to be a happy pulse, but the time is too short after all, and we should observe it again in the last one or two months." yes."

Generally speaking, the Hua pulse that represents Youxi can only be accurately registered after the fetus has been in the mother's womb for a period of time. After the incident, it was found that there was probably such a possibility.

The princess may be pregnant.

The King of Chu nodded, his cheeks were flushed with excitement, and his heart was still full of joy, and he said, "Then wait for another month or two."

He remembered that the last time he went to see Ziyu, he shared the bed with the concubine, and the extremely strong smell in the room... Now that he thinks about it, he feels a little embarrassed.

He also hasn't been with the princess for too long... I don't know if he lost his mind after drinking in front of Jia Ziyu that day.

The king of Chu quickly suppressed his thoughts, thinking, it seems that he got the trick that time.

He is really immortal, Chen Qin!
He's going to be a father again!
The king of Chu was wrapped in a great joy, which dispelled the sadness and self-blame in his heart.

During this period of time, because of the murder of Chen Chun, the king of Chu actually didn't know how to face Zhen Qing, so he didn't come to see Zhen Qing, hoping to forget the sadness and all the hardships he had suffered before.

But in the dead of night, when the replay was repeated over and over again, the guilt, shame and pain in my heart couldn't stop coming to my heart.

In this situation, it is very easy for a person to change from blaming himself to sinning others, so as to alleviate the guilt in his heart.

Gradually, the King of Chu began to complain about Zhen Qing.

If Zhen Qing hadn't been too strong, he wouldn't have only one child, and if he hadn't insisted on coming to see the child that day, he wouldn't have given the assassin a chance.

In fact, the things that Zhen Qing has done in the mansion over the years, such as the maids who were married to the Zhen family at the time and the female officials who wanted to be in power and seduced the king of Chu to serve him, died, walked away, and had a few miscarriages. Concubine Liu, these Chu kings may not have doubts, but they just attracted but did not say anything.

Because the King of Chu couldn't do without the support of Zhen Qing and the Zhen family behind Zhen Qing, he just didn't want to study or think about it.

In response to that sentence, marriage is like a piece of exquisite porcelain, which looks exquisite and clear, but it is full of cracks.

The King of Chu calmed down his thoughts of regaining what was lost, ordered him to confiscate the silver, and sent the doctor away. He paced back and forth a few times, and the excitement on his handsome and fair face remained undiminished.

Sitting not far away, Chief Shi Liao Xian and Chief Bookkeeper Feng Ci couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both caught a trace of solemnity from each other's eyes.

The concubine is pregnant again, and she will restrain the prince in the future, but after thinking about it, now that the Zhen family has collapsed and all the property has been confiscated, the concubine should not be as strong as before after the previous incident.

Even outsiders, seeing that the King of Chu has only one child after being married for so long, are also skeptical. No one in this world is a fool.

The King of Chu settled down, looked at Zhen Qing's female officer, and said, "Go and see."

After speaking, under the guidance of the female officer, she entered the wing room to meet Zhen Qing. At this moment, she inevitably felt a little apprehensive, and her steps couldn't help but become a little heavier.

Zhen Qing was sitting on the bed, the beauty didn't wear rouge today, but perhaps there was a sad and mournful charm lingering in her eyebrows and eyes, which undoubtedly made people feel more pity.

After all, having given birth to a child, Zhen Qing is relatively experienced in childbirth and childcare.

The King of Chu stepped into the wing room, looked at the beauty sitting on the bed with a pair of quilts around him with complicated eyes, raised his heart in his throat, and said in a trembling voice, "Princess."

These few days, he didn't know how to face the princess. He really didn't blame him for what happened to Chun'er. He was also in a hurry at the time, so he didn't think too much about it.

Zhen Qing slowly raised her head, her narrow and clear phoenix eyes under her slender eyebrows looked at the young man in the prince's python suit, the smile that was still on her face when she was talking to Zhen Xue gradually faded away, His expression became pale.

At this moment, Zhen Xue greeted her and stood up, saluted and said, "I've seen Brother Chu, brother Chu, talk to sister."

Immediately, he left the wing room with the nanny and the female officer.

The King of Chu nodded to Zhen Xue, without saying much, sat down on the embroidered pier in front of him, looked at the haggard beauty, thought about his words, and said in an extremely gentle tone: "Princess, yesterday I went After leaving the imperial prison, I met Yuezhang and his second and third uncles, and sent them a few pairs of quilts. They are fine in the imperial prison, and after a while, the emperor should show grace."

"Relax first and take good care of your baby. You don't have to worry about anything else." The king of Chu met those indifferent eyes, and the joy in his heart gradually faded like a tide, and his mood was also a little low.

Zhen Qing just looked at King Chu coldly, and listened quietly, not responding in silence.

He can abandon his own child, but when life and death are in danger, will she be abandoned by him too?

The king of Chu also felt the coldness and alienation under Zhen Qing's calm lake-like jade face, hesitated for a while, and explained in a low voice: "Qing'er, I don't want to be like this, if you want to hate, you should hate those villains. .”

"Don't call me Qing'er." Zhen Qing stared at the King of Chu with condensed eyes, and said coldly, with a surge of resentment in her heart.

Only Ziyu can call her Qinger!

The King of Chu's face froze, but he was not annoyed. He just sighed and said, "Princess, the days are long and we must always look forward. Now the Zhen family still has a lot of things in the house, and they are already in a state of desperation. The clan is obsessed with the past, Chun'er...Chun'er, he can't die and come back to life."

Zhen Qing's complexion became more and more icy, and said with a sneer: "If you are worried about your scandals, I didn't tell that Yongning Bo, but so many people are watching, they are not blind."

She has nothing now, except for that bastard, she has nothing to fear, and if she is cornered, she will break with the person in front of her!

Hearing this, the King of Chu was stunned. He felt a sensitive nerve in his mind being provoked, and said, "What scandal? The situation was urgent at that time. I... I didn't mean it. Why do you always hold on to it?" Woolen cloth?"

He read the history books in the past two days. Liu Bang, the founding monarch of the former Han Dynasty, abandoned his children several times. He didn't establish the Han family for 400 years. He really didn't mean it that day.

Under Zhen Qing's slender willow eyebrows, her gaze was slightly cold, and she said, "I'm the one holding onto you? Are you trying to kick me away too? That day I just looked at Chun'er..."

At the end, tears streamed down my face, and my voice was a little choked up.

When the King of Chu heard the words, his fair face was green and red, and he felt angry and ashamed, and he blurted out: "You say that, Gu is going to ask, fortunately, there are many women in these years, why is there no movement in the stomach? And Concubine Liu has had many miscarriages, so what happened?"

The words that had been held in King Chu's stomach for a long time, blurted out at this moment, as if a biting cold wind had blown through the room, almost freezing the atmosphere.

The quarrel between the husband and wife inevitably happened after a few days.

When Zhen Qing heard this, her delicate body trembled violently, and a great anger surged in her heart. In fact, it was more like she became angry from embarrassment, and she was furious. Her brows stood on end, and she said angrily, "Chen Qin, do you doubt me?"

In the married life of the couple for several years, Zhen Qing herself was very strong, but after having a child in the past two years, she gradually began to transform into a good wife and loving mother.

Hearing Zhen Qing call his name directly, the king of Chu showed a bit of coldness, and said in a low voice: "I'm just wondering, I'm young and strong, why do I have one child after so many years? It's the duty of the royal family to extend their heirs and grow the clan." , but now there is only a single seedling, what's going on?"

The more he talked, the more angry he became, the King of Chu said with a cold face, "Do you really think you don't know what you have done these years?"

Zhen Qing was being questioned word by word at this moment, she felt cold all over her body, and her heart was pierced by every word.

Then, the circles of her eyes gradually turned red, and accumulated tears welled up in her eyes. She cried out, "I was pregnant in October, and I raised Chun'er with one hand. Who was it for? Who was it for the family to suffer such a big deficit in the weaving bureau? When did you ask about the internal and external matters? You know that you hang out with those talented men and beautiful women, and now you still ask me why I don’t have children? How do I know what kind of evil you have provoked outside, so that you don’t have children? "

As she spoke, she turned around and buried herself in the pillow, Lihua cried with rain: "Chun'er, my miserable Chun'er."

Wait for her!

One day, she will let him watch helplessly in front of this ruthless man. She and Ziyu are entangled to death, and let him experience the greatest humiliation of a man!

If she becomes a queen, the child in her womb will also become a prince, and this man is just a tool for her to dominate the world.

At this moment, Li Xin was full of negative emotions. In other words, she was full of grievances and resentment, and the powder keg was ignited by the King of Chu just now.

At this moment, Zhen Qing's personal female officer has already called her to leave the house, she was serving outside, but now she is far away, she dare not hear a single word.

The King of Chu's complexion changed. Seeing Zhen Qing's shoulders twitching and crying, the anger of being accused face-to-face gradually turned into irritability, his face was as dark as iron, he opened his mouth, and said in a low voice: "You are pregnant, I don't want to Arguing with you."

With that said, he left the room.

A feeling of anger arose in my heart, if it wasn't for the Zhen family, how could he have married this kind of Hedong lion, which is far worse than Concubine Liu.

At this moment, the nanny came from the outside and said, "My lord, the King of Beijing is here."

The King of Chu was stunned for a moment, and said, "Where is he now?"

The mother said: "I went to the courtyard of Princess Beijing to talk."

Hearing this, the King of Chu's expression changed, and he sat down, still unable to let go of the quarrel between Fang Cai and Zhen Qing.

However, it was said that King Shuirong of Beijing entered the hall under the guidance of his mother, and looked at Princess Zhenxue of Beijing who had heard the news.

Zhen Xue is wearing a simple and elegant dress today, with the woman's peach heart bun pulled up, her figure is graceful, but in the eyes of King Bei Jing, she is a bit alienated.

Even still worried, Zhen Xue, who was happy to meet again later, came to her.

However, this worry is undoubtedly unnecessary.

Zhen Xue settled down not far away, Wen Ning's gaze under Chunshan's black eyebrows looked suspiciously at the young man in the white dragon python suit, her pink lips were pursed because of the rosiness after eating wine, her complexion Asked as usual: "My lord, when did you come here?"

It was known earlier that King Beijing was going south to Jinling, but he didn't know it was so fast?

Six hundred miles in a hurry?
Shui Rong entered the wing room, sat down beside the small table, and said casually, "I arrived at half noon, and I had lunch with Jia Ziyu, why didn't I see Xinxin?"

Zhen Xue didn't take it seriously either, her heart moved slightly, and she asked, "Did the lord just eat with Yongning Bo?"

Did Ziyu meet Wang Ye before?I don't know if I mentioned myself.

Shui Rong said: "Jingli gave Ziyu an imperial edict, and I told you that you didn't understand it either."

At this time, Xu Zhenxue was sitting not far away, the fragrance of her body floated over, causing Shui Rong to frown secretly, but forced herself to hold back, and asked again: "Where's Xinxin?"

Zhen Xue ordered the female officer to bring a pot of tea, and said softly, "My lord, Xinxin went to Ningguo Mansion, but she hasn't come back yet."

Only then did a smile appear on Shui Rong's face, and he said, "Zi Yu told me that Zi Yu recognized Xin Xin as his goddaughter, and he really likes that girl."

Zhen Xue signaled the female officer to hand over the teacup to Shui Rong, and said with a sweet smile, "Xin Xin is getting closer to Uncle Yong Ning."

Seeing Zhen Xue talking to Yong Ning Bo, Shui Rong frowned, and said softly: "Zi Yu is a genius born in the world, I really didn't meet him before, the princess doesn't need to be born, just call Zi Yu normally."

Zhen Xue: "..."

My lord, this is...

Shui Rong took a sip of tea, sobered up, and said softly, "I just came to see you and Xinxin. I heard something happened to Eldest Sister?"

Zhen Xuerou said: "The posthouse was assassinated earlier, and the elder sister's child, Chun'er, is gone. I will accompany her these few days."

Shui Rong said in a cold voice: "The remnants of King Zhao have been lingering since the first year of Chongping, Ziyu will catch them all sooner or later!"

Zhen Xue pursed her lips when she heard the words, and looked at King Beijing Jing with an indescribable weirdness in her heart.

But at this time, someone came to report suddenly, King Chu sent someone to invite, Shui Rong said: "I'll go talk to Brother Chu King first, and I'll go back to the post later."

Saying that, without waiting for Zhen Xue to speak, she got up and left the room to find the King of Chu.
