The Red Mansions

Chapter 845 Zhen Xue: The prince asked her to dress up well... (Ask for a monthly ticket!)

But on the other hand, King Beijing returned to the Shui family's residence in Jinling. The Shui family, as four princes and eight princes, also had an ancestral house in the Shui family.

Beijing Wang Shui Rong came to the backyard and asked a female official, "Where is the princess?"

"My lord, my concubine is in the backyard at the moment." The female officer dared not neglect her and said.

Shui Rong nodded, didn't say much, and walked to the backyard with a tall body.

At this moment, Princess Zhenxue of Beijing is writing with a brush in her study in the East Wing of the courtyard where she lives in the backyard. This is a hobby of this princess, and she seems to be able to forget all her troubles while writing.

King Beijing stood by a blue mica screen and looked at it for a while, then called out, "Princess."

From a man's point of view, the princess should be dignified and gentle.

"My lord, when did you come back?" Zhen Xue paused and immediately stained the white rice paper, her beautiful eyes gleamed, and she asked the young king.

I don't know why, although we haven't seen each other for only a few months, there is an indescribable alienation and separation.

King Bei Jing smiled and said, "I've just arrived too."

As he said that, he found a chair with a backrest casually, sat down by the round table, waved his hand to stop Zhen Xue who was about to pour tea, and said in a low voice, "Xinxin is still at Ziyu's house?"

If you want to realize what you want, you must first convince the princess.

And the concubine has a gentle temperament and obeys his words. Although he and the concubine have only been a couple in name these years, she is loyal and consistent.

Of course, you may think that this matter is too shocking and unacceptable.

Zhen Xue nodded, and while pouring tea for King Beijing, she said, "Xin Xin said that she lived with her godfather for a few days in the past. stop."

Wang Beijing said: "There are more girls of the same age in Ningguo Mansion, so it's better to let Xinxin go and play. I haven't taken care of Xinxin much these years, so you two have suffered a lot in the mansion."

Hearing this, Zhen Xue's heart trembled slightly, her soft and watery eyes fixedly looked at King Bei Jing, and asked curiously, "Why did your lord make such a statement?"

If it was in the past when she heard King Bei Jing say this, Zhen Xue must have been greatly moved and wanted to cry, but at this moment she was a little puzzled, what did she say so suddenly?
King Beijing thought for a while, then said in a clear voice: "Over the years, the concubines in the mansion have given the concubine Xinxin a lot because of the men. I saw this matter, but I didn't do anything to protect it. "

As soon as these words came out, Zhen Xuebai's expression on her snowy face couldn't help but change a bit, she clenched the handkerchief in her palm tightly, and said softly: "My lord."

It turned out that he knew all about the ups and downs and undercurrents in the back residence of the palace these years.

King Beijing looked at the young woman Huaxin who looked a bit astonished, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and said softly: "Princess, I have been the one who has let you down all these years."

He thought about getting up and hugging Zhen Xue, but after thinking about it, he decided to give up. Now he can't smell the fragrance of makeup even more.

Zhen Xue also remembered all kinds of grievances in the past, tears welled up in her beautiful eyes, and said softly: "The prince usually takes a concubine, and I didn't stop her, but my mother-in-law has always misunderstood me."

Thinking of some harsh words in the mansion, Zhen Xue felt a little sad in her heart.

There was a hint of emotion on the young and handsome Wang Beijing's face, and he said: "My mother didn't know, she thought it was the princess's mistake, but in fact, the princess bore these gossips for me."

Zhen Xueyu's face was as pale as paper, and she shed tears of grievance, pursed her pink lips, and was speechless for a while, listening to King Beijing Jing's words.

In recent years, although Zhen Xue has a weak temperament, she also has some speculations on this matter.

King Bei Jing put down the teacup and said softly: "I have seen Lang Zhong before, and I may have no children in this life, and my mother is also worried about the inheritance of children and titles in the future. would be willing."

Concubine Bei Jing definitely didn't want this kind of title to be handed over to a side branch. Instead, she wholeheartedly thought that Zhen Xue had seduced her own son, saying that she couldn't give birth to her, and she didn't let anyone get close to her son.

Zhen Xue paused when she heard the words, stared at King Beijing, and asked softly, "My lord, where did you start?"

King Beijing's lips twitched, and he didn't know where to start. After thinking about it, he said softly: "What does the princess think of Ziyu?"

Zhen Xue: "???"

Shui Rong endured the strange feeling in his heart, took a seat nearby, and said, "I see Jia Ziyu as a hero in the present, so let's take advantage of it..."

After all, what she said later was a bit shocking, but she had to tell Zhen Xue about it, otherwise it would be difficult to say that she was pregnant once or twice.

Finally made up his mind, he told all the words in his heart, looked at Zhen Xue with burning eyes, and said, "This can be regarded as the best of both worlds."

Zhen Xuefang's heart trembled slightly, she looked at Shui Rong in disbelief with a face as gentle as water.

Could it be that the lord noticed something and deliberately tried to speak out?

However, immediately after, Shui Rong said in a soft voice: "Zi Yu and I have made an appointment, and we plan to hold a banquet in honor of Zi Yu the day after tomorrow, to test his mind, the princess will also..."

Zhen Xue's beautiful and soft oval face was full of redness, she was almost ashamed and red, she scolded the leader who interrupted Shui Rong, and said: "My lord, this method is too absurd."

She originally wanted to get the prince drunk with Ziyu, but who can tell her what's going on?The prince actually wants her to seduce Ziyu?

There was also a bit of shame on the handsome and fair face of Shui Rong, and he lowered his voice and said: "Princess, I also know that this is absurd, but I have never had anything under my knees these years, and this is the only way to stop the family's long-distance death." Otherwise, it will be difficult to secure the title of prince in the future, and I will also become a sinner of the Shui family, and I will have no face to comfort my ancestors."

Zhen Xue thought to herself, if you are so stiff and steal the day, can you comfort your ancestors?

After thinking about it, a blush of embarrassment appeared on her white and greasy cheeks, and she said in a trembling voice: "My lord, since Jia Ziyu is a hero in this world, how can he let him be at his mercy..."

As the beauty spoke, she also felt a little unsure.

Although she had already hit it off with Zi Yu early on, it was a blunder of fate, but now that the prince is her own husband, how could she send her wife as a benefactor...

Shui Rong paused for a moment, and said softly: "Princess, so we should discuss with the concubine first, and then test Jia Ziyu's mind the night after tomorrow. If he is interested, the concubine can earn something after suffering all these years alone. I don't mind." .”

In fact, if Shui Rong had a sharper mind, he would discover his wife's secrets. For example, according to Zhen Xue's temperament, when he heard such shocking words, he should resist them with words.

But in fact, with Zhen Xue's gentle temperament, it is difficult to disobey the water-melting attitude.

Zhen Xueyu's face was slightly red, an indescribable shame filled her heart, her delicate body trembled, and she said in a low voice: "My lord, this is simply... too inappropriate."

Shui Rong sighed, his brows were full of sadness, and said: "Princess, otherwise, when you become a prince in the future, where should we talk about it?"

Zhen Xuexiu frowned, and said in a low voice: "My lord is still young, you can go to the Lang Zhong to have a look, if you take a concubine again, within a year or two, you should have an heir."

She can't do it here, this body and heart already belong to Ziyu.

Shui Rong waved his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Once you say concubine, there is no need to mention it, otherwise even if you get married, you will stay alone like a princess, what's the point?"

Zhen Xue felt powerless to refute for a moment, looked at Shui Rong who had eaten the weight and made up her mind, she moved her lips and said, "My lord, this..."

Shui Rong's face softened a little, he looked at the beauty in a blue simple dress, and said softly: "Princess, dress up for the night after tomorrow, Ziyu is a young hero, but since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauty."

Zhen Xue: "???"

The prince asked her to dress up to seduce Ziyu?Is that what you mean?
Just when the husband and wife were silent and in various embarrassments, the servants came to report and Shuiyu came.

Shui Rong stood up and said: "Princess, wait here, I'll go see Fourth Uncle."

Zhen Xue watched Shui Rong go away, feeling confused for a while, the night after tomorrow she was going to resort to such tricks, but the prince suddenly thought about it again, so what should she do?
By the way, I will find Ziyu to discuss it tomorrow, and it happens that Xinxin is also at the Ningguo Mansion, so she will go to see the child.

Jinling, Ningguofu
In the courtyard where Daiyu was, Jia Heng had already slowly lowered the curtain from the golden hook, forming a small world of his own. Also hide it.

After a long time...

Jia Heng paused for a moment, coughed lightly, and focused his eyes on the fine tassels on the edge of the curtain again, dazed.

Compared with the first time, the Crimson Pearl Immortal Grass has undoubtedly improved by leaps and bounds, and he knows how to please him.

Jia Heng looked at Daiyu who came out of the bed. The girl's face was as clear and beautiful as February's peaches and plums. Her brows were full of embarrassment. She handed her handkerchief and left, saying in a warm voice, "Thank you sister."

Daiyu is indeed the most affectionate and sexual he has ever seen, this is the Lonely Forest of the Fairyland.

Daiyu's cheeks were as bright as jade, her cheeks were as red as clouds, and her starry eyes as bright as rainbows had already turned into rain. She fixedly looked at the boy and took the handkerchief.

Through the curtain, Jia Heng called Zijuan and said, "Zijuan, pour me a cup of tea."

Zicuckoo was waiting for orders with her hands down behind the screen in the outer room, and she was also helping the two of them watch the wind. At this moment, seeing the curtain covering them, although they couldn't see what the two of them were doing in the inner room, they could roughly guess something.

Hearing Jia Heng's order, he brought a cup of tea and passed it through the curtain.

Daiyu took the teacup, put it on her shiny and moist lips, drank all the tea in the teacup, then leaned her fiery face against Jia Heng's arms, and said angrily, "Brother Heng will embarrassing people."

Jia Heng smiled and said, "Your sister made things difficult for me just now."

When Daiyu heard this, Xia Fei's cheeks flew up immediately, her slender hands clenched into powder fists and lightly punched Jia Heng's chest, and said angrily, "Brother Heng is making fun of people again."

Jia Heng gently stroked Daiyu's shaved shoulders, and said softly: "Sister, let Zijuan and Xiren buy some specialties on the street these few days, and bring them to the old lady when they return to Beijing."

He also wanted to buy some things to send to Keqing, Third Sister You and Miaoyu.

Daiyu raised Hongxia's face that hadn't retreated, and said in a worried tone: "Brother Heng is going back this time, is he going to take the prisoner Prince Jurchen into custody?"

Jia Heng said: "Escorted to Beijing for punishment, but the Jurchen sent people from Beiping to seek peace, and there may be some disputes. The battle with the Jurchen in the next few years will be the main busy thing, and I will make more contributions in the future. , when the time comes to marry my younger sister, but my younger sister will have to wait another two or three years."

Now that they have developed to this step of pleasing each other, it really can't end if they don't marry Daiyu.

Daiyu listened to the boy's heartbeat, and said softly, "Brother Heng, I am willing to wait for you."

Jia Heng has always been tired of Daiyu, and with Crimson Pearl Immortal Grass, it is not enough to be tired.

It wasn't until the evening, when the twilight fell, that Jia Heng left the room where Daiyu was, thought for a while, and went to the courtyard where Baoqin was.

In the wing room, Baoqin was playing with a pipa, and her chubby little hands kept playing with the strings of the pipa. Nuona looked at the instrument in Baoqin's hands curiously, and said, "This is the pipa? It's so strange." Musical instruments, are you easy to learn?"

Baoqin is not only good at composing poems, just like its name, but also has several musical instruments. In the past few days, he and Nuona have shown classical Chinese musical instruments.

At the same time, Zhenxi and some other girls' ink paintings made this western classical beauty very amazed. Only art and beauty have no borders.

Baoqin chuckled and said, "This is not easy to learn. It took me a long time to learn it well."

Nuona said: "The last time I heard a strange musical instrument, you said it was a suona."

Baoqin smiled and said, "I don't know how to play that."

"Miss, Uncle Heng is here." The maid outside entered the room and said softly.

Hearing this, Baoqin put down the pipa, and seeing joy on her chubby face, she called out: "Brother Heng, you are here."

Not long after, Jia Heng entered the courtyard, looked at the young man opposite, and said softly, "Where is Sister Baoqin playing the pipa?"

Lovesickness is spoken on the strings of a pipa, but who knows when the strings are broken?
Baoqin nodded, looked at the young man with joy in her eyes, and said: "I'm bored for a while, play two pieces of music to relieve boredom, Brother Heng, why are you so free?"

Jia Heng looked at Nona at the side, and said, "Miss Nona, do you still have the habit of living in the mansion recently?"

Nona nodded to Jia Heng, and said with a smile: "It's very lively here, even more lively than the Haojing Governor's Mansion. I wonder when His Royal Highness will leave for the capital of your country?"

Jia Heng said: "It's just these few days, it's going to be colder in Shenjing, Miss Nuona, bring more clothes."

Bao Qin looked at the boy with a chuckle, and said, "Brother Heng, I heard from Sister Tanchun that you made a kind of telescope that can be seen from high places."

Jia Heng said: "It's a kind of telescope. It was originally used for fighting when two armies confront each other. It seems to be able to see people's faces clearly across a distance of three or five miles."

After giving Xiaoxiao the spotting telescope in his hand before, he picked up a few more later and left it in the study that day. After Tanchun took a look at it, he might tell Xiangyun about it.

With curiosity on her face, Baoqin said, "The telescope, can I have a look?"

Jia Heng said softly: "It's in my study, I'll show you later."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Nona got up and said: "You guys talk first, I'll go back to my room to rest first."

Jia Heng looked at the little chubby girl on the opposite side, for example, Xue Li's white greasy face seemed to have a bit of hesitation.

Jia Heng looked thoughtful and said, "Sister Baoqin, do you have something to tell me?"

Xue Baoqin's lips moved, he hesitated to speak, and said softly: "Brother Heng, I just want to ask you something."

Jia Heng caught the serious look in the girl's eyebrows, and some guesses arose in his heart, and he said, "What's the matter?"

Under Baoqin's beautiful eyebrows, Wuzhu's yearning almond eyes flickered lightly, she leaned closer, and said in a low voice: "Did Brother Heng make a lifelong appointment with his cousin?"

Hearing this, Jia Heng secretly thought that it was true, looked at Bao Qin, and asked with a smile: "Where did my sister hear this?"

Baoqin's cheeks were reddish, her voice was slightly strange, and she said softly: "These few days, I see that my cousin and Brother Heng are getting along very well."

In the past few days, because of the female rivalry between Daiyu and Baochai, Tanchun, Baoqin, Zhenlan and other keen-minded girls have seen some clues in the vague atmosphere.

Jia Heng smiled, looking at the plump girl with peach cheeks and apricot eyes, she felt a little funny in her heart, and said: "If you say that, Sister Baoqin and I are on good terms, too. Is it also destined for life?"

When Baoqin heard this, Xue Ni's cheeks were as red as rouge, and she said shyly, "Brother Heng, it's better than that."

She and Brother Heng are destined for life, this...

Jia Heng also looked serious, and said: "Your sister Baochai agrees with me."

In front of his sister-in-law, there was nothing he dared to admit.

Baoqin was confirmed by Jia Heng's words, her heart trembled slightly, she took Jia Heng's arm, and said in surprise: "Brother Heng, you..."

Jia Heng looked at the girl and thought to herself, what a chubby girl.

Looking at Baoqin gently, he said, "Sister Baoqin, why don't you call your brother-in-law to listen?"

Hearing this, Baoqin felt slightly ashamed, her big nimble eyes flickered, looked at the young man, and said, "Brother Heng, you have really become my brother-in-law."

She said that Sister Tiantang has been cooking herself these past few days and helping Brother Heng to make clothes. Last time she asked her cousin, she still refused to admit it, hum.

Jia Heng took Bao Qin's plain hand, and said solemnly: "Sister, don't tell anyone else about this matter, after all, it is about your sister's reputation. After returning to Beijing, Auntie will not talk about it."

Baoqin blushed slightly, nodded and said: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I will keep my mouth shut and won't talk nonsense."

As he spoke, he found that his hand was tightly held by the boy, and the girl's soft and chubby little hand gradually became a little hot and humid because of nervousness and shyness.

If the second sister sees this, she won't hit her, right?

Jia Heng also let go of Baoqin's hand, gently squeezed the girl's pink face, and said: "Okay, sister Baoqin, play me a piece of pipa, I haven't heard my sister play the pipa yet. "

Baoqin's cheeks were reddish, she bit her lip, responded softly, picked up the pipa, and started to play, but she was obviously absent-minded, and the strings in her hands seemed a bit messy.

After a while, Jia Heng looked at the girl at the end of the song, and said softly: "My sister is really skilled in technique and dexterous in fingering. Just now, I feel like hearing the sound of nature."

Originally, he was worried that the chubby hand would have short fingers and be unable to fiddle with the instrument?But just now this doubt was dispelled, or in other words, those ten fingers were also shiny and white, as nimble as butterflies.

Baoqin is not actually fat, or she just has a plump face with baby fat.

For a moment, Baoqin was quite ashamed to be looked at by the young man opposite, and said in a low voice: "Brother Heng...Brother Heng is too praised."

……

……

The jade rabbit falls in the west, and the golden crow rises in the east.

The next day, the sky was bright, and there was a heavy fog in Jinling City. The milky white fog covered the streets and alleys. There were cornices and corners, and simple and elegant houses were located on both sides of the street. The man opened the door and began to greet Early guests.

Ningguo Mansion

Jia Heng finished his breakfast, went outside, and asked, "Where are the selected guards stationed for training?"

Liu Jixian, Cai Quan, Xie Zaiyi and others selected some sergeants from Jiangnan Jiangbei Camp and Jinyi Mansion earlier. The first batch of about 300 soldiers was used for intensive special training. Naturally, these soldiers were not used to protect Jia Heng. , but to protect the nobles.

Chen Xiao said: "Now at Xiaohekou in the southwest of Zhongshan Mountain, a barracks has been rebuilt there to train some stealth and protection methods."

Jia Heng thought for a while and said, "There are still some clan disciples in Jinling. I plan to build a martial arts hall and Chongwen hall to train clan disciples to study and join the army. Some suitable ones can also be selected for training."

The Twelfth House of Jinling had quite a few descendants of the Jia clan. These descendants were originally running some businesses in the southern provinces, and their lives were quite prosperous.

Chen Xiao said: "Then you will give me the list of people in the follow-up, and I will look at the arrangements."

If the truth about his "life experience" comes to light in the future, it's not a good thing for these Jia clan generals to dominate the army. Of course, after making contributions in northern Xinjiang, there will be a group of new military meritorious nobles surrounding him.

When Jia Heng went to Zhongshan to see the selected guards, and then returned to Ningguo Mansion, he suddenly heard the report from the nanny that Princess Zhenxue of Beijing Jing had arrived, and she was waiting in the study at the moment.

Jia Heng had some doubts on his face.

He wanted to go and talk to Zhen Xue, but Zhen Xue had already found her.

Jia Heng led Chen Xiao to the study, let Chen Xiao watch the wind outside, entered the study, saw the beautiful woman who was sitting upright and waiting for tea, said: "Princess."

"Zi Yu." Zhen Xue called out when she saw Jia Heng approaching, with a happy look on her beautiful and beautiful face.

Jia Heng nodded, sat closer, took Zhen Xue's plain hand, and asked: "Tomorrow evening, Prince Bei Jing will invite me to have dinner together. Xue'er is here because of this matter."

Zhen Xue nodded at first, but then shook her head and said hesitantly, "Zi Yu, it's the prince, he..."

The beauty hesitated as she spoke, she really felt it was difficult to speak, but under Jia Heng's attention, she simply finished the story.

Hearing this, Jia Heng's complexion changed, and he was a little shocked, and said in a low voice: "This, this is too...too unbelievable."

Is this also a kind of two-way rush?
Zhen Xue saw the eagerness in her gentle eyebrows, and said softly: "Zi Yu, the prince has made such a thought, what should I do now?"

Jia Heng's eyes paused, and he also felt that this matter was quite tricky.

If he followed the wishes of the King of Beijing, the relationship between him and Zhen Xue would be exposed to the King of Beijing from then on. Maybe the King of Beijing had other bad intentions.

Prince Jing: Ziyu, you don't want people to know about you and the princess, do you?
Of course, this is impossible. Given his current position of authority, King Beijing Jing would not be so unwise, but this would easily complicate matters.

According to the original book, Xue Pan is able to come out to find Liu Xianglian. Well, the actor who plays Liu Xianglian and the actor of King Jingjing are the same person.

Jia Heng thought for a moment, and said: "I can't make a decision right now, so go ahead with the original plan first, at least cover up the child in your stomach, and talk about the rest later."

The king of Beijing should not give up, but if the matter was brought up by the king himself, it would be a different matter from his previous affair with Zhen Xue.

Procrastinate for a while, as long as the king of Beijing Jing has such thoughts, he should bring up this matter again later, and then he will reluctantly agree to it.

But if King Beijing sees that Zhen Xue has a child and doesn't mention it anymore, is he wasting an opportunity to be with Xue'er in a fair and honest way, and then let King Beijing watch the wind at the door?
Alas, the sudden behavior of the King of Beijing complicates things all of a sudden, it's too brain-burning.

Jia Heng suppressed the weirdness in his heart, so the only way is that you hit yours and I hit mine, first proceed according to the original plan.

Zhen Xue sighed lightly, and said, "That's the only way to go first."

As he said that, he suddenly remembered something, raised his face and looked at Jia Heng, his soft cheeks were as blushing as clouds, and he couldn't laugh or cry: "He still wants me to dress up and seduce Ziyu."

Jia Heng gently took Zhen Xue's hand, hugged her into her arms, pecked at the beauty's cheek, and said softly: "Xue'er is born beautiful and hard to give up, she can already seduce me without dressing up."

Listening to the sweet words, Zhen Xue felt the pampering and love of the young man's tender actions, her heart was so sweet, she said shyly: "You are talking nonsense again, what is it about seduce or not, and you treat people like a fox."

If you say Hu Meizi, then my sister is a bit...
