Chapter 1004 Princess Xianning: Actually... really worrying.

Palace, Tangli Palace

The majestic and luxurious palace is located in the southwest corner of the palace garden. The glazed tiles of the palace are shining in the sunlight, and the green plants around the main hall can be seen. The wind made a rustling sound, and the cicadas sucking the sap from time to time made several cheerful and loud chirps.

In the hall, the Xinuang Pavilion, the girl who was lying in the back of the inner room turned over, gently opened her eyes, wiped off the fine layer of sweat that oozed from her forehead, lifted the silk quilt on her body, and revealed a white His little face was flushed because he had just woken up, his snowy muscles were dizzy, and he was as bright as a peach or plum.

Song Yan got up, put on the embroidered shoes, calmed down, and felt thirsty.

After waking up from a summer nap, I felt a little thirsty. I came to the small table by the window, picked up the teapot and poured myself a cup of tea. Seeing that it was steaming hot, I didn’t like drinking it. Instead, I called someone to take a shower. face.

"Come here." The girl's voice was clear and sweet like a yellow warbler coming out of the valley.

It's a pity that I called twice, but no one outside the hall answered.

Song Yan's pink cheeks pouted lightly, her pink lips twitched, and she came out of the Nuan Pavilion. Seeing the empty bedroom, doubts flashed in her bright eyes under her slender eyebrows, and she murmured, "Where's the person?"

Muttering like this, he headed towards the corridor of the palace, and walked gently along a corridor. The sunlight passing sparsely between the gates and window grilles of the palace beside him sometimes shone on the girl. , the beautiful and bright cardamom girl seems to be hidden in a cloud of dreamy light.

The silence in the hall is unspeakable, only the sound of melting ice cubes falling in the copper basin, "tick tock", adding to the tranquility of the hall.

But as he gradually approached the East Nuan Pavilion, he heard the sound of weeping and complaining.

cousin?

Song Yan thought about it, followed the sound, the girl's steps were light, the embroidered shoes fell to the ground without a sound, she came to the side of the screen, stopped and looked, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning, her eyes were surprised, she clearly saw the boy in the python suit supporting her Princess Xianning.

Why is my cousin here?

The girl was puzzled, and suddenly looked down and saw a scene, as if her eyes were burned, her heart couldn't help jumping wildly, but the good tutor and shyness made the girl subconsciously stretch out two small hands to cover her eyes, and then turned around Dodging, I suddenly felt an inexplicable shame flooding my body and mind, and my delicate body was numb.

Now, cousin and brother Heng are not married, how can they sleep in the same bed?Um, no, there seems to be cousin Chanyue, she saw three of them lying on the same bed.

Don't talk about Bai Rixuan... just say that the wedding ceremony has not yet been completed, so affectionate and lingering, it is too inappropriate.

However, Jia Heng, Princess Xianning and Princess Qinghe were couples married by imperial decree after all. According to the heavenly constitution in the mouth of the emperor, the three of them were considered legal couples from the time the marriage was bestowed.

The girl was originally dignified and elegant, with a beautiful and intelligent temperament, she was shy for a while, and she was not easy to look at, she just blushed, and was about to move away quietly, but at this moment, she heard the two of them talking. say.

For a moment, curiosity arose from the bottom of my heart, what were the two talking about.

At this moment, Jia Heng looked down at the back of Princess Xianning's neck. The girl's graceful cloud bun that was intended to be a lady's bun had been scattered, but it couldn't cover her snowy shoulders, and her smooth, black and green hair was sticky into curls due to sweat. Juan'er, looking down, the silk tanned sock has already been torn into a big hole, and there are red marks on the snow circle.

Despite the wind and rain, forge ahead, the spring and autumn are full of fragrance.

Jia Heng suddenly thought of two lines of poetry, paused for a moment, quickly dispelled the weird thoughts, and said: "Xianning, in the palace, it's better not to mess around too much, it's not a joke to let others hear it."

Princess Xianning's beautiful jade face was rosy red and dizzy, she turned her eyes to look at her beautiful neck, snorted softly in her nose, and said in a slightly angry tone: "Mr. How much... I don't know who I thought of at that moment."

It was just now that I clearly felt that the husband was abnormal, and it was almost certain that the husband was just thinking about something wrong!

And Li Chanyue at the side had already buried her head in the brocade quilt beside her, feeling ashamed and startled.

Cousin usually plays the role of mother, she just bears it, why is she acting again...

Although both of them had turned down the volume to the minimum just now, and even whispered in some places, they still knew what was going on when they saw the scene as bystanders.

Jia Heng is also not easy to argue, the drunkenness that surged up at this moment has faded a lot with the sweat, and the mind is much clearer.

The girl thought for a while, then frowned, her clear eyes that seemed to be shining with charming light showed a touch of surprise, and asked: "What did the mother ask for the husband?"

Jia Heng thought for a moment, patted Xianning lightly, then lay down, pulled Chanyue, who was pretending to be dead, into her arms, sighed and said: "Parents who love their children have far-reaching plans. Your Majesty is worried about the future of King Wei, so she came to talk to me."

Princess Xianning's beautiful cheeks were rosy and dizzy, and under her nose, her red lips were slightly raised, and she was panting. Because it was a hot summer day, a wisp of hair on her temples was sweating profusely, and she said softly: "I still have to see it." My father's thoughts, but sir, if you can't join in, don't join in."

Li Chanyue lay down at this moment, and said softly: "Mr. Jia, what you are talking about with your cousin is about Brother Wei Wang? Auntie asked Mr. Wei to help Brother Wei?"

As he spoke, he also had some scruples, and he cut the beginning and the end of the conversation.

Jia Heng looked at the little princess with gentle eyes, and said, "Yes, it's actually what Chanyue thought about."

As he spoke, he embraced the girl's fragrant shoulders, kissed the girl's pink and tender face, and said with emotion: "Chanyue, the three of you and I can get married thanks to the success of the empress. Sometimes I can't do anything about it." .”

It can be said that without the matchmaking of Empress Song, the various plans of Princess Jinyang, and the shocking achievements he made in the end, the so-called marriage of one princess and one princess would have been impossible.

Li Chanyue heard the words, Jing Ran's eyes moved, her pretty face looked solemn, she lowered her voice and said, "Then what does Mr. Jia think?"

She heard some rumors that her father died because of being involved in the seizure of the heirloom. Mr. Jia wouldn't be involved in the heirloom seizure, would he?

Looking at Li Chanyue, who had a frightened expression between Wanning's brows and eyes, Jia Heng said in relief, "Chanyue, don't worry, it's nothing, I have a sense of proportion."

As he spoke, he glanced at Xianning, who had flying black hair.

Princess Xianning's jade face was flushed, her clear eyes were full of charm, and her petite and exquisite earlobes, the earrings that were swinging up and down, stopped for a while, lowered her body, leaned into her ear and said, "Sir, why don't you match up with cousin Yan'er?" Bar?"

Jia Heng: "???"

"She looks a bit like..., and Ms. Yexing looks at the plum blossoms to quench her thirst and is full of hunger." Princess Xianning breathed slightly, and said in a low voice. At the end, her tone was a little angry, and she whispered: "Mr. Trembling."

Just now in Tangli Palace, she heard that the husband was at the mother's place and drank again. She was really scared, worried that something might happen.

Jia Heng frowned, and said: "I told you last time, there is absolutely no possibility, your Yan'er is the treasure of the Song family, and the Song family will not let her be a concubine."

Is it really Miss Wanwan?

Any lady from an official family will not be a concubine if she has a choice, only the side concubine of the prince can be considered a concubine

Because the side concubine of the vassal king is more noble than the wife of the imperial court, no matter whether it is an heir, he can be titled a title, and even he himself has to be a jade spy in the family's mansion of the Tian family.

Princess Xianning snorted and said in a mocking tone: "Sir, you really have thought about it, otherwise you wouldn't have even considered the concubine's room."

And Song Yan, who was standing behind the curtain outside the Nuan Pavilion and staring blankly, was feeling parched from the scorching summer, when she heard Jia Heng's voice raised a few degrees when she mentioned herself, she was slightly startled, and said inwardly: "What's the matter?" Are you still mentioning her? Cousin is trying to match her up with Big Brother Heng?"

Song Yan didn't know what to think of, there was a sense of shame in her childish eyebrows, her cheeks were already hot like fire, and her breathing was unavoidably short of breath.

And Jia Heng is in the Nuan Pavilion at the moment, he paused, and he couldn't help feeling suspicious, could someone be peeping?

It's not that he possesses the spiritual power of a grand master, he can reach a radius of a hundred steps, and the drop of a needle can be heard.

But in Xianning's dormitory, he was also a little worried that some female officials who had stayed in the deep palace for a long time came to peek at the diorama. I'm afraid that disaster is imminent.

He listened attentively to the voices outside, so he was naturally vigilant.

Who is eavesdropping?

Princess Xianning's bright eyes moved slightly, she looked at the distracted young man, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong, sir?"

"It's nothing." Jia Heng's brows stretched out again, temporarily suppressing the suspicion in his heart.

The earrings on Princess Xianning's earlobe were lightly circled, and her cold voice in the past was a little soft and coquettish, saying: "Yan'er, the queen mother originally wanted to betroth her to Liang Wangdi, but the queen mother later felt that the age of the two is too old. The difference is a bit big, and it’s not very suitable, so let’s give up.”

In fact, Queen Song felt that she could not help her two sons, and planned to use King Liang's marriage to find more help for the two brothers.

At this moment, Song Yan originally wanted to leave, but when she heard Princess Xianning mentioned her marriage, she suppressed the shame in her heart and listened patiently.

Jia Heng wasn't sure if anyone was eavesdropping at the moment, so he said softly, "Cousin Yan'er is still young, so I'm not in a hurry to get married."

Among the three sisters Xianning, Chanyue, and Song Yan, Xianning is the oldest, already eighteen or nineteen, a standard old girl, Chanyue is about the same age as him, at seventeen years old, and Song Yan will wait another year or two to get married. At the age of Jiji, now is the age of cardamom.

Li Chanyue interjected: "Mr. Jia, marriages are usually arranged very early."

Just now, Mr. Xiao Jia reciprocated, and he had to let her serve him for a while when he had time, but now his whole body is limp and a little weak.

But she also understood what Mr. Jia said to his cousin. Cousin Yan'er is quite like an aunt. No wonder what the cousin thinks?

Ah, what is she thinking, this is also blasphemy, if it gets to my aunt's ears, catastrophe will still happen.

Princess Xianning said softly: "Mr. is right. Uncle and aunt just have such a daughter. It is indeed a bit distressing. If it is someone else, how could she be a concubine? But Mr. is still different."

The eldest son of the Song family, Song Jing, had a difficult heir. After marrying the Shen family, there was only one daughter, Song Yan. Originally, he wanted to adopt one from the fourth son of the Song family, Song Xuan, but Song Xuan also only had an only son.

Some people said that the Song family had a queen and a concubine. They had exhausted their energy and were extremely rich, so they almost died.

If it wasn't for Jia Heng who saved Song Xuan at the beginning, it is really possible that the incense will be cut off, which to some extent proves this conclusion.

Princess Xianning said softly again: "Didn't Mister tell Sister Lin that when you have an heir, you will adopt it to the Lin family?"

Jia Heng frowned, and said in a low voice, "Where did you hear this from?"

He remembered these words were only spoken to Daiyu and Lin Ruhai, Xianning probably didn't know about it.

Princess Xianning smiled lightly, and said: "Chanyue and Sister Lin have a good time together. A few days ago, Sister Lin said something, and Sister Chanyue talked to me. I thought it would be a good idea. "

The husband treats that younger sister Lin as a treasure, and even gave birth to a son to the Lin family. Isn't this equivalent to entering the Lin family?

When Jia Heng heard this, he was silent for a moment.

So, now he is not only giving off his son Guanyin, but also a son-in-law who specializes in continuing the incense for others?

"Sir, after a while, I will be a middleman and let my husband marry cousin Yan'er. Uncle and queen mother will definitely agree." Princess Xianning thought for a while and said firmly.

With her mother's mind, she would definitely agree to this proposal.

The girl who secretly eavesdropped, heard the two talking about their marriage, covered her mouth with a small white hand, her snowy cheeks were as red as a cloud, her bright eyes widened, and her eyes were full of disbelief.

What if my cousin had told her father and aunt that she would marry Brother Heng from now on?

Aunt alone can give her a marriage, she can't stop it.

The girl was flustered and didn't know what to think.

But Jia Heng said: "Okay, don't make random arrangements, it's either the end or the end at that time."

He felt a little unreliable. This was deeply bound to the Song family. It is estimated that Queen Song would be very happy, but what does the emperor think?

At that time he became Wei Qing, and King Wei became Prince Liu Shi?

He found that although Xianning clearly refused to let him participate in the seizure of the heir, he was worried that he would be in trouble. In fact, compared with the two vassals of Qi and Chu, he still leaned towards the king of Wei in his heart, because if the two kings of Qi and Chu ascended the throne, Xianning would definitely not have the respect he has now. Prosperity and freedom.

Did Xianning ever think about his younger brother ascending the throne?

Thinking of this, Jia Heng suddenly had deep thoughts in his heart, and faintly felt that it was not impossible.

In fact, Xianning, who grew up in the court environment, is not only indifferent to many things, but also knows many things well.

Princess Xianning looked at Jia Heng, and said softly: "Sir, when the time comes, sister Yan'er and sister Chanyue and I will serve you together, don't let your wild thoughts stop thinking about things you shouldn't have."

By the way, there is also a sister Xiao.

So many people should be able to watch Mr.

Jia Heng was worried that people outside would hear the clues, so he interrupted quickly: "Xianning, I have never thought about it, so let's not talk about it."

He really has no other ideas, many things, regardless of deeds, no one is perfect.

In Kunning Palace, he was very respectful, except for a look similar to Meng De's when he saw Queen Mother He, was there any disrespect?

What's more, if there is no other internal civil unrest and foreign peace and captives, in three to five years, how many people in Chen Han's world will be called orphans, and how many people will be widowed?

What's wrong with taking a look?Without losing a piece of meat.

Princess Xianning also understood what Jia Heng meant, that is, there are too many eyes and ears in the palace, so it is not easy to continue talking.

I thought to myself, it's good for Mr. to be afraid, because he is afraid of lawlessness.

Mainly because of Mr.'s self-discipline and prudence, it is... really worrying.

Jia Heng said softly: "Okay, I have to leave the palace later, let's hurry up, it's getting late."

Song Yan, who was standing outside the Nuan Pavilion, felt that her skirt was drenched with sweat and her calves were weak, so she also moved away, returned to the Xinuan Pavilion just now, picked up her teacup, and drank gulp.

After a while, a blush appeared on the girl's flawless face, and her heart was in a mess.

He couldn't help taking out the handkerchief from his pocket to wipe off his sweat, but he was taken aback suddenly, seeing the embroidery of Heng characters on the corner of the handkerchief, it was like getting an electric shock.

It seems... the handkerchief hasn't been returned to Brother Heng yet.

Not to mention that Song Yan was in a state of mind, on the other side, Jia Heng was obsessed with Princess Xianning and Chanyue for a while.

In the evening, the sky was full of sunset and the afterglow was slanting towards the west, shining on the jade steps in front of the hall, and in the sleeping hall, Jia Heng was also wearing python clothes, looked at the girl lying on the bed, and said: "I'll go back first."

Princess Xianning's cheeks were pale and rosy, and she said softly and softly, "Go, I won't see you off."

At this moment, it was as if it was fished out of the water, and I didn't want to move a finger.

Li Chanyue propped up her arms and stared at it, her shy and timid eyes were somewhat reluctant to part.

At this moment, Jia Heng's drunkenness disappeared, and he gradually left the palace, and rode his horse towards Ningrong Street.

Ningguo Mansion, in the front hall——

Jia Heng came out of the palace, followed the servants in the mansion to tell the inside that "the master is back", entered the hall while being greeted all the way, just sat down, picked up a porcelain bowl of tea cup on the table, and took a sip of tea .

Chen Xiaofei's clear voice came from Quan Liuyu: "Are you back? Why is it so late?"

As the girl spoke, she called the servant girl to fetch a basin of cold water, soak the towel in the basin, and handed the towel away with the sound of "crashing" from the water.

"The two great scholars, Li Qi and Li Qi, came back from Beiping Mansion, and a small banquet was held in the palace to invite them." Jia Heng said softly, "By the way, let someone inform Jinyi Mansion to release Gao Zhongping's son Gao Yong, and wait for a while. I still have to go to Xuxu Mansion."

There are still a few days before the big wedding, and it will not be easy to have such leisure in the future.

Chen Xiao said "hmm", then ordered Li Shu who was on the side to send someone to Jinyi Mansion, and said: "The one who released the news said that there are a group of people in the capital who are watching, and they seem to want to suppress public opinion and prevent it from spreading. "

Jia Heng said: "Let's do it first, there should be a result in the next two days. Jiangnan has already started to implement reforms, and the imperial court will focus on Jiangnan in the next few days."

Chen Xiao raised her eyebrows and said, "Gao Zhongping?"

Jia Heng washed his face, took the towel from Qingwen, wiped his face, and said: "The whipping method and the examination method he promoted in Sichuan want to be implemented in Liangjiang, because it has been very effective in Sichuan these years. , The Holy Majesty was quite moved, and asked me what I wanted, but I couldn't stop it, so I proposed such strategies as distributing the land to the mu, returning the fire consumption to the public, and abolishing the two castings, and I will write a report later and send it up."

When Chen Xiao heard the words, his eyes flickered, and he said, "You want to go to the south of the Yangtze River to handle the political reform?"

Jia Heng wiped his face, took another sip of tea, next time he told Chanyue that he usually eats less salt, and said: "It's inevitable, if you don't devote yourself to it, you will be used by others. Not on the body."

Chen Xiaoqing's eyes flickered, she looked at the young man, and said, "Will this matter attract criticism and hatred from the court officials?"

Jia Heng said: "The cabinet ministers have basically reached an agreement, and the rest are the local gentry in the south of the Yangtze River. It doesn't matter."

Hearing this, Chen Ling pursed her pink lips, feeling a little relieved.

Jia Heng said, "Is there any information from the northwest?"

Chen Xiaodao: "In the past few days, there is no latest information."

At this moment, Qingwen said: "My lord, the hot water is ready."

"Okay, I won't talk to you for now, I'll go take a bath first." Jia Heng said, looking at the slender girl.

Chen Xiao let out a "hmm", with a thoughtful face.

After Jia Heng finished bathing and changed his clothes, it was already night and the lights were just coming on. Jia Heng called Chen Xiao, and turned to Xu Lu's house, Zuodu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
