The Red Mansions

Chapter 906 Jia Heng: Zhen Qing... Did she come to her?

Jinyang Princess Palace
It was dusk and the lights were coming on, the temperature had dropped significantly, the melted snow water on the eaves tiles had begun to freeze, and the cold wind was blowing the plum trees in the courtyard.

On the second-floor attic with cornices and hooked corners, Lianxue has already lit bright orange candles with fire folds, and earth dragons are burning in the room. The hot air rises and spreads everywhere, making the room warm like spring and fragrant.

And on the bed with curtains all around, under the quilt embroidered with hibiscus flowers, Jia Heng hugged Yuan Chun's plump waist, that soft and slippery body seemed to be warm cotton in winter, as if to Wrap him up.

Jia Heng turned to lie down, stretched out his hand to touch Yuan Chun's plain hand, the beauty's soft and moist skin was delicate to the touch, and there were round rosy charms on her jade cheeks, and said in a low voice: "Big sister has suffered a lot during this time."

Yuan Chun's lush and beautiful hair was scattered behind his shoulders, his plump and bright cheeks were as bright as fire, like peach blossoms, and his voice trembling a little, said: "Brother Heng, you should also talk to Your Highness more."

The nobile tassels on the cloud bun draw circles in place, shining brightly and dazzling people's eyes.

At this moment, Princess Jinyang's cheeks were rosy, and she slightly raised her beautiful eyes, which were full of luster, she smiled lightly, and said: "You two are arguing, don't worry about me."

Jia Heng turned his head to look at the beautiful woman whose jade face had turned into a peach blossom, and said with a slightly trembling voice, "Jinyang, this year is the New Year's Eve here."

Princess Jinyang gently squeezed Jia Heng's hand, and said softly: "Ziyu, if you are celebrating the New Year here, you have to let Lianxue and the others prepare for it. This is the first time you spend with me. A year."

Jia Heng said: "Yes."

In a flash, he has known Jinyang for a year or two.

Jia Heng's side had been arguing with Yuan Chun for a while, and it was already dusk, and when the lamps were lit, on the bed covered with curtains, the spring was fading, and the fragrance of makeup and powder was strong.

Jia Heng glanced at the dark night outside the window, and said softly: "It's getting late, it's time to get up and eat."

From lunch until now, two or three hours.

Under the slender eyebrows of the eldest princess of Jinyang, her phoenix eyes looked at Yuan Chun, who was already as soft as a silkworm, with a smile on her phoenix eyes, and joked: "I said earlier that Yuan Chun alone can't handle him."

Yuan Chun slightly closed his eyes at this moment, his plump face like a full moon was already as gorgeous as a peony, in full bloom.

After changing into a brocade robe again, Jia Heng felt refreshed and felt that his tiredness had dissipated a lot. He looked at Yuan Chun, who was sitting in front of the dressing table, lazily dressing up.

Secretly, it is really a flower of interpretation of language as gentle as water.

Yuan Chun combed his hair at this moment, picked up a golden-winged phoenix hairpin and pinned it in the cloud bun, raised his eyes and took a peek at the young man, his jade face was as red as rouge, his eyes were full of autumn waves, and he quickly looked away.

Seeing this scene, the eldest princess of Jinyang spoke in a somewhat appetizing tone, and said, "Are you still making eye contact? Didn't you get bored just now?"

"Your Highness." Yuan Chunyu blushed, glowing like a cloud, and said angrily.

Jia Heng picked up the teacup, took a sip, looked at the graceful beauty, and thought, now it's getting late, so I can only go to see Mopan and Xue'er tomorrow.

I don't know if Mopan now knows that he has come to Jinling, and he is probably stroking his belly while calling him a villain?
Everyone got up and went down to the hall on the first floor. The lights were brilliant, as bright as day, and there were embroidered curtains hanging on the four square windows, and the jeweled jade articles were shining brightly under the light.

At this moment, Lianxue has ordered the back kitchen to prepare meals. On the mahogany dining table, there are a variety of dishes, cups, bowls, chopsticks, and dishes in order.

Princess Jinyang sat down, and while washing her bare hands in the warm water in the copper basin, she whispered to the young man: "I asked the chef to make some tiger bone soup, you can make it up later."

Jia Heng: "..."

What does it mean?Does he still need to make up?

Yuan Chun, who was sitting quietly at the side, glanced at Jia Heng with his plump and beautiful face, which was originally glowing like fire, and pursed his pink lips with moist almond eyes.

There is no need to make up, she tried her best to...

Well, I can't think of it this way, she is almost becoming a beauty.

Just as the three of them were sitting down for dinner, a mother's voice came from outside, saying, "Your Highness, Princess Chu and Princess Beijing have brought Shui Xin over to ask His Royal Highness and Marquis Yongning."

When Princess Jinyang heard this, a strange color appeared on her jade face, she wondered, "The two of them are not at home raising babies, what are you doing here?"

Jia Heng: "..."

At this moment, he couldn't help picking up the teacup, took a sip, and the tea soup rippled in circles between his lowered eyes.

Zhen Qing is really messing around... Did she come to her with a big belly?
The nanny said: "Go back to Your Highness, I heard that it was Shui Xin who knew that Marquis Yongning had come to the south of the Yangtze River, so she clamored for a godfather."

It turned out that between noon and afternoon, Zhen Qing finally sent someone to find out Jia Heng's "hiding" place - the Princess's Mansion.

Therefore, she urged Zhen Xue to come over with her daughter Shui Xin as guests, planning to meet Jia Heng first.

When Princess Jinyang heard this, her beautiful eyebrows frowned, and she said softly: "It's just getting dark now, I asked them if they had eaten, and we can eat together later."

Since Zhen Qing is also the princess of Chu, she still has to call Princess Jinyang as her aunt, this kind of hospitality is nothing more than normal.

Princess Jinyang said, Yurong smiled brightly, looked at Jia Heng, and joked: "Your goddaughter is here."

Li Ren once guessed that the reason why Jia Heng took the daughter of the King of Beijing as her goddaughter might be to divide the four princes and eight princes.

Jia Heng only felt his scalp go numb, but his expression didn't change at all, and he said softly, "I'm going to see Xinxin."

The current situation already has a hint of a Shura field. Of course, both Zhen Qing and Jin Yang know that they cannot show themselves to outsiders, but they are unexpectedly safe.

"Let's go meet together." Princess Jinyang did not doubt that he was there, Yingying got up and said softly.

Fortunately, she doesn't show her feelings now, even if she sees the Zhen sisters, she won't be caught.

"Your Highness, then I'll go too." Yuan Chun said softly, with a quiet face and soft eyes, "I haven't seen the two concubines for a while."

Princess Jinyang responded softly, secretly thinking, Yuan Chun is also a recovering person, he was softened into a ball of mud just now, and now he is full of vigor again.

Jia Heng said softly, and then the three of them headed to the hall in the front yard under the lighting of a group of female officials dancing with lanterns.

At this moment, Zhen Qing and Zhen Xue were waiting accompanied by the female officer and the nanny. The two sisters were sipping fragrant tea and looking at the decorations in the flower hall of the Princess Mansion.

There was a hint of thought on Zhen Qing's seductive and charming face. There were rumors in Beijing that the eldest princess planned to recruit that bastard as her son-in-law and marry her orphan Chanyue to him.

It seems that there should be a fact, otherwise it would be impossible to come to the Princess's mansion in the first place.

However, with the help of the Eldest Princess from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, that bastard would be even more powerful, and if he supported the prince to succeed him, even the royal family would have no voice of objection.

Zhen Xue took her daughter Xinxin's hand and waited patiently.

Xinxin raised her palm-sized face and asked, "Mother, is godfather really back?"

After the mother was pregnant with the baby, she didn't take care of her much these days, and the godfather didn't come for many days.

Zhen Xue smiled, and the soft charm from the corners of her eyebrows and eyes overflowed silently, and said softly: "I'm on my way, I'll be here in a while."

Not long after, under the swaying octagonal glazed palace lantern hanging from the eaves of the corridor, a tall and straight young man, a young man in a green shirt and a blue scholar's square scarf, had a clear face and warm eyes.

And Zhen Qing got up and looked at the boy, the joy and excitement in her beautiful eyes almost overflowed, but she took a deep breath and suppressed it again.

Zhen Qing stood up, bowed to Princess Jinyang Yingyingfu and said, "I met Aunt Jinyang."

In addition, Zhen Xue also pulled her daughter to bow to Princess Jinyang.

Princess Jinyang sized up the stunning beauty in the red dress. Although she was not happy, she had a big smile on her face and said, "You are pregnant, so there is no need to salute."

Zhen Qing thanked, but glanced at the face of the young man in green shirt, and sneered in her heart.

She thought she was busy with some official business, but she was hiding here.

"It's so late, why did Concubine Zhen think of visiting my palace?" Princess Jinyang looked at the two of them again and asked.

There was a smile on Zhen Qing's beautiful face, and she said in a delicate voice, "Auntie, it's not that Xinxin came here crying when she heard her godfather was coming."

On the other side, Xin Xin stretched out her small hand, ran towards Jia Heng, and called out sweetly, "Godfather, hug."

Jia Heng squatted down, approached Shui Xin and hugged Shui Xin, said with a smile: "Xin Xin, just now I saw that the little girl is so cute, so it is Xin Xin, does Xin Xin want to be a godfather?"

Shui Xin "paji" kissed Jia Heng's cheek, with a smile on her small face, and said softly, "I think about it, I think about it every day, why did it take me so long for my godfather to come back, did my godfather miss me? "

Jia Heng smiled and said, "I'm busy with business in Beijing, so I'm here to see Xin Xin."

Little Lolita, who was holding a porcelain doll, sat down on the chair, turned to look at Zhen Xue, and asked in a warm voice: "When I came to Jiangnan, the two younger sisters, Lan'er and Xi'er, sent two letters to the two princesses. Letter, show it to the two princesses later."

Well, from the perspective of relatives, he is the brother-in-law of the two concubines of the Zhen family, at least there is a layer of cover-up on the outside.

At this time, Zhen Qing stopped talking with Princess Jinyang, and stared at the young man. The longing and resentment in the bottom of her heart were mixed together, almost like a surging tide, but she tried her best to remain as calm as possible on the crystal clear face. He asked with a smile, "Brother Lao Heng is here, what about the letter?"

Although I really want to throw myself into the arms of this bastard right now, it is obviously not possible in front of the eldest princess.

Jia Heng smiled and said: "It's in the study, big sister, go to the study and get that cowhide bag and show it to the two princesses."

As long as Zhen Qing is still Zhen Qing, Shura field?nonexistent.

Princess Jinyang looked at the twin concubines of the Zhen family with beautiful eyes, and asked softly, "Have you eaten yet?"

Zhen Qing said softly: "My sister and I came in a hurry, we haven't eaten yet."

"It just so happens that my palace has placed wine and dishes in the hall of the back house, so you can come and have some together." Princess Jinyang smiled and invited.

Zhen Qing and Zhen Xue thanked each other, but did not humbly resign, and followed Princess Jinyang to the backyard.

However, when everyone was walking along the corridor and carrying lanterns to the attic, Zhen Qing couldn't help but looked aside at the graceful and graceful beauty, she couldn't help feeling suspicious, and said: "Aunt Jinyang, Ziyu What are you going south for this time?"

"You haven't read the mansion newspaper?" Princess Jinyang smiled lightly and said, "He came here this time to preside over the Jiangnan sub-province. He also heard that Henan's coal is going to be sold in Shandong and Hebei by merchants. Bengong discusses, you can come here if you say so, that child Chanyue even wrote a letter to Bengong."

Zhen Qing asked curiously, "Cousin Chanyue didn't come over?"

Secretly, as expected, as rumored, the eldest princess loves that bastard very much, and even wants to recruit him as a son-in-law.

"It's a long journey, Chanyue has just arrived in Beijing, and it's not easy to come back." Princess Jinyang said with a chuckle.

Zhen Qing glanced at the young man in the green shirt holding the child again, and said softly: "That's right, it's winter, the roads are inconvenient, Brother Heng came here this time on an errand for the court."

While everyone was talking, they walked to the hall on the first floor of the attic, which was spacious, elegant and bright.

Zhen Qing and Zhen Xue sat down one after another at the invitation of Princess Jinyang, while Jia Heng hugged Xin Xin, grabbed the little girl's belly, and said with a smile: "Xin Xin eats a lot of delicious food in Jiangnan, and it's a little bit sweet." I'm getting fat."

Shui Xin's clear and soft face was slightly flushed, and she said shyly, "Is godfather unable to hold me?"

Jia Heng smiled lightly, and said, "Xin Xin is about to become a big girl, and she won't be able to hold her in another year or two."

Zhen Xue said softly: "Ziyu, I haven't cared about her much during this time, she eats anything delicious."

Shui Xin pursed her lips and thought, "Mother has put her mind elsewhere."

Listening to the "family of three" talking, Zhen Qing's eyes were a little lost. Maybe after she gave birth to a child, she could also chat and laugh with this bastard.

Suppressing the sudden strangeness in his heart, he asked softly: "Brother Heng, are my two younger sisters doing well in the capital? Are they still used to eating and living?"

"It's good, the two of them live together, it's almost like being in Zhen's house, the concubine can read the letter later." Jia Heng said, and continued to tease Shui Xin in his arms.

Zhen Qing's jade face was slightly stagnant, and the gloomy light in her narrow and clear phoenix eyes flashed away, her heart was secretly annoyed.

This bastard, didn't she just ask casually and want to say a few words to him, and she was so impatient?
Princess Jinyang smiled and said: "Okay, let's eat first, I am hungry right now."

Everyone didn't say anything else, and began to sit down and eat food together.

After dinner, everyone began to sit down and drink tea.

After all, Zhen Qing couldn't hold back, she cast her eyes on the young man again, and asked softly: "Brother Heng, is the lord in Beijing now?"

Jia Heng was silent for a moment, then said: "I have already returned to Beijing, and I am currently in charge of the military department."

Seeing the resemblance between the young man's eyebrows and eyes, Zhen Qing didn't dare to say anything else, and said: "My lord is in charge of the military department, Brother Heng is coming to Japan..."

Clearly seeing Jia Hengxu because she mentioned the King of Chu, Li Ren hesitated what she originally wanted to say.

Jia Heng: "???"

Fortunately, Li Ren was also a bit quick-witted, and said: "Brother Heng will fight the Jurchen in the future, and my lord will do his best to help Brother Heng."

She didn't know what to say, how did she break the sentence in a strange place just now.

Jia Heng said in a clear voice: "If it is an important military matter, it is also my duty."

Zhen Xue listened quietly to the boy talking to her sister, her soft and beautiful eyes were very lively, and she felt shy in her heart.

In fact, this time I came here not for obsession, nor just to comfort the pain of lovesickness.

Zhen Qing said with emotion: "Now that something like this has happened at home, I don't know how to go to the palace to see my father. Now that I'm detained in Jinling for some reason, it's actually a good thing."

"Concubine Zhen doesn't need to worry. The Holy Majesty is also quite sad after hearing what happened to Concubine Zhen in Southern Province." Jia Heng said casually.

Zhen Qing sighed faintly, as if caught in some kind of sad mood.

Everyone was talking, it was a meeting, but because there was no chance to be alone, seeing the sky getting darker, Zhen Qing glanced at Jia Heng again, and then said: "Aunt Jinyang, my sister and I will not stay, Xin Xin I will leave it to Brother Heng, and follow Brother Heng to talk here."

When I take Xinxin home tomorrow, I will be able to see her again, um, that's it.

The eldest princess of Jinyang nodded her head, and there was an unreasonable strangeness in her heart.

Jia Heng took Shui Xin's little hand and said with a light smile, "Xin Xin, how about sleeping with your Aunt Yuan Chun today?"

Yuan Chun smiled and said, "Xinxin, should you sleep with aunt tonight?"

Shui Xin came closer at this moment, looked at the plump-cheeked beauty, and said sweetly, "Okay."

This aunt Yuanchun seems to have the smell of a godfather, which makes her feel much more peaceful, but her mother and aunt also have it. How could it be a problem?

Zhen Xue looked at "my daughter" reluctantly, and on her gentle and peaceful face, she seemed to want to say something, and said softly: "Then Ziyu, I will go back with my sister."

"Two princesses, go slowly." Jia Heng said softly, secretly relieved.

Mopan has been really clingy since she had a child.

He was just afraid that Mopan would be noticed by Jinyang.

Fortunately, all women are born actors, and on Mopan's more and more beautiful face, there is not the slightest hint of it, except for a bright and beautiful smile.

Princess Jinyang turned her eyes to Shui Xin who was sitting in Yuan Chun's arms, and said with a smile: "This little girl is so beautiful, and she will be a beauty in the future."

I don't know whether her and Ziyu's child will be a boy or a girl in the future.

Jia Heng turned to look at Shui Xin, took Little Lolita's soft little hand, held it in his own, and said with a light smile, "Our Xin Xin is just prettier."

The genes of the Shui family are undoubtedly excellent, and Shui Xin has inherited Zhen Xue's eyebrows and eyes, which are supple and bright, and her eyes are shining brightly.

Shy and happy at the same time, Shui Xin put her arms around Jia Heng's neck and said, "Godfather."

After the "father and daughter" had played around for a while, Princess Jinyang said softly, "Yuan Chun, take Shui Xin down to rest."

Yuan Chun gave a soft "hmm", then took Shui Xin's plain hand, left the attic, and walked towards the hall.

Jia Heng raised her eyes to look at Li Ren, and said warmly: "It's colder on the first floor, let's talk on the second floor."

Princess Jinyang responded gently, and then, with the support of Jia Heng and Lianxue, climbed up to the second floor of the attic.

The two were sitting on the bed, Jia Heng held Li Ren's hand and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"What do you think about the Zhen family and the King of Chu?" Princess Jinyang turned her head and asked in a clear voice.

Jia Heng was stunned for a moment, and said, "Let's see what the palace means."

Princess Jinyang said: "The two sisters of the Zhen family are currently in your house."

Jia Heng said: "Based on this, Xianning and I will get married in the future, so these things are uncountable."

Princess Jinyang thought for a while and said, "It's indeed too early to think about this now."

Jia Heng gently embraced the beauty's shoulders, and said in relief: "Jinyang, no matter what, I will not take any risks for our children. As for the future, let's take it one step at a time."

He didn't think about seeking to usurp the throne, the main thing is whether the emperor is the Liu family or the Cao family.

The eldest princess of Jinyang gave a "hmm", leaned her beautiful head on Jia Heng's shoulder, and murmured, "Don't worry, there won't be such a tragedy in the future."

Jia Heng sighed softly, and said: "It's getting late, let's rest earlier, I have to go to Jiangnan Daying first tomorrow."

Princess Jinyang responded in a low voice, then blew out the lights, and the two went to bed to rest.

No more words for one night.
