Palace Garden, Funing Palace
Queen Song sat down on the soft couch in the palace. Under her beautiful willow-shaped eyebrows, she looked at the young man in the python robe with a fixed and shining gaze.
Jia Heng nodded and said, "I think we should wait for a while until the government is stable, then it won't be too late to depose the queen."
Queen Song's jade-like face was as glittering as frost. Her eyebrows were raised, her beautiful eyes were as clear as water, and her narrow, clear gaze seemed to flash with a cold light. She said in a cold voice: "You are going to depose me, aren't you?"
Jia Heng glanced at Consort Duanrong who was not far away and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. There may be a chance to turn this around in the future."
He couldn't possibly tell Concubine Duanrong the news that the King of Chu would soon die in front of her.
Concubine Duanrong nodded, her cold and bright eyes were as gentle as water, and she said softly: "Sister, just let Ziyu beg for mercy."
Queen Song snorted coldly and said nothing more.
Jia Heng asked, "Madam, why are the little prince and princess not here?"
His two children are Chen Luo and Chen Qianqian.
Queen Song's face was white and flawless, and she said in a gentle voice, "He is resting in the side hall right now."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Then I will go and see them both."
Queen Song raised her eyes and looked at the young man quietly. Her heart moved when she heard these words.
Knowing that Jia Heng wanted to talk to her alone, she suppressed her annoyance for the time being.
"Then I will go with you." Queen Song said softly with a calm face. She stood up and looked at Concubine Duanrong beside her. She said in a delicate voice, "Sister, Ziyu and I will go over there to take a look."
"Go." Concubine Duanrong said softly, but she glared at the young man in the python robe with her beautiful eyes, and felt an awkward feeling in her heart.
This Zi Yu, is there anything we need to avoid him for?
Jia Heng and Concubine Duanrong talked quietly, and then quickly left the palace.
Under Queen Song's emerald eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were as bright as water. Her eyes flickered and she whispered, "What do you want to tell me?"
Jia Heng's face was gentle, and he whispered, "Your Majesty, please be patient and wait for another year or so. I'm afraid he may not wait until the day when he deposes you."
When Queen Song heard this, her heart was moved, and a hint of surprise appeared on her fair and beautiful face.
Jia Heng's eyes were warm under his sword-like brows, and his voice seemed to be a little lower as he said, "Your Highness is a smart person."
Queen Song blinked her beautiful and charming eyes under her slender eyebrows, and a sense of enlightenment arose in her heart.
Jia Heng said in a gentle voice: "My Lady, please wait patiently. There will definitely be changes within a year."
Queen Song responded softly, and suddenly her delicate, fair nose twitched, clearly smelling that familiar scent, and said, "Where did you come from? Why do you smell like powder?"
Did this man not take a bath when he came back from the palace? He now smells like a woman after having sex with her.
Jia Heng looked a little unnatural, and whispered, "My Lady, I'll go see Luo'er. How are Luo'er and Qianqian these days?"
Queen Song nodded her head, her beautiful eyes sparkling like water, and whispered, "They are very good friends, but Qianqian is a bit noisy."
While Jia Heng was speaking, he entered the side hall and looked at Qianqian and Chen Luo who were playing with the company of a nanny and a female official.
"Mother." Chen Qianqian turned her palm-sized face and spoke in a soft, cute voice with a hint of childish innocence.
Queen Song's jade-like face was full of maternal tenderness and maternal breath. She smiled and said, "These two children usually play here."
Jia Heng looked at Chen Qianqian intently, called out, and said, "Qianqian."
His daughter inherited Queen Song's skin as white as jade and a pair of big eyes like black grapes, rolling around and very smart.
While Jia Heng was speaking, he gently took Chen Qianqian's slender hand, hugged the adorable baby, and stared at the child, feeling inevitably happy.
Queen Song's sparkling eyes could not help but flash with a hint of curiosity, and she jokingly said, "This is your brother-in-law."
Jia Heng: "..."
She is really our own daughter, we cannot even acknowledge her.
Chen Qianqian's eyebrows were curved, her bright eyes were rolling, and she called out sweetly, "Brother-in-law~"
Jia Heng pinched the little girl's soft face and said, "What are you yelling about?"
Jia Heng hugged Chen Qianqian all of a sudden, feeling the soft and cute baby's milky scent, and kissed her plump and slightly moist face, feeling an inexplicable joy in his heart.
After all, they are my own flesh and blood. Holding them like this, I feel a sense of intimacy as if we are connected by blood.
At this moment, Chen Luo stretched out his two soft little hands, his white and jade-like face was full of joy, and he said in a gentle voice, "Mother."
Queen Song came forward, hugged the child, and said softly, "Luo'er."
Jia Heng hugged Chen Qianqian, looked at the soft and cute look in her eyes and eyebrows, and then sat down on the soft couch beside him.
Queen Song turned around and looked at the young man in the python costume, and said softly, "Zi Yu, Qian Qian and Luo Er are just confused."
Jia Heng smiled and said, "Your Highness can find a teacher to teach him."
Upon hearing this, Empress Song's face turned cold and she said in a cold voice, "The palace's invitation to a teacher has always been arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Now the Kunning Palace is looking for trouble with me."
Thinking about her, Song Tian, when had she ever suffered such humiliation!
Jia Heng thought for a moment and said, "When I leave the palace, I will go to Kunning Palace and mention this matter. It has been really outrageous recently."
If Tianniu hadn't told him, he would have almost forgotten about it. He was so focused on hanging out with Zhen Qing after their long-awaited reunion that he hadn't mentioned the Xue family's royal business.
Queen Song frowned, looking unhappy, and said, "Zi Yu, you need to be quick. I see that Concubine Zhen is still targeting me."
Jia Heng thought for a moment, his eyes as gentle as the rising sun, and said in a warm voice: "My lady, I will go to the Queen Mother to pay my respects later."
Queen Song nodded, her beautiful eyes sparkling like water beneath her sculpted eyebrows, she stared at the young man in the python robe and said in a delicate voice, "Go."
While Jia Heng was speaking, he left Funing Palace and headed towards Changle Palace to pay his respects to Empress Dowager Feng.
Palace Garden, Changle Palace
In the back hall, the sound of wooden fish being struck "bang bang" could be heard, making the empty and quiet hall seem even more quiet.
The old woman with silver hair was kneeling on an apricot-yellow cushion, chanting and praying to the Guanyin Bodhisattva enshrined on the table.
This old woman, who lost her husband and son within two years, chose to convert to Buddhism in extreme grief, worship the Buddha by the green lamp, and recite scriptures in order to find a glimmer of inner peace.
"Your Majesty, Prince Wei pays his respects to the Empress Dowager." At this moment, an old maid entered the hall and said to Empress Dowager Feng.
While Empress Dowager Feng was speaking, she turned her head, and a look of surprise appeared on her wrinkled but still elegant face.
He stood up and said in a deep voice, "I'm going to the main hall."
After a while, they arrived at the main hall, and saw the young man in the python robe standing not far away. He was as tall and straight as a pine tree, and his calm face showed solemnity and respect.
After a while, while Jia Heng was speaking, he looked at Empress Dowager Feng and said with a bow, "Your humble servant greets the Empress Dowager."
Empress Dowager Feng nodded and said to the female official and the maid beside her, "Stand up. Someone come and find a seat."
Jia Heng stood up, looked at Empress Dowager Feng with warm eyes, and whispered, "Thank you, Empress Dowager."
Empress Dowager Feng raised her eyes and looked up and down at the young man in the python robe, feeling a little uncomfortable in her heart.
It is really... inappropriate for such a young man to have a child with his daughter Jinyang.
However, it is a good thing that Jinyang can find such a person.
Empress Dowager Feng's face was full of kindness. She looked at the young man and said, "When will the late emperor's mausoleum be repaired?"
Jia Heng's expression paused slightly, his eyes sparkling under his sword-like brows, and he said loudly: "The Ministry of Works has already urged the progress, and it should be completed in May or June."
It is not that Emperor Chongping did not build a mausoleum when he was alive, but because of the short time and the suddenness of his death, the mausoleum was not yet completed.
Empress Dowager Feng thought for a moment, a thoughtful look on her old face, and said, "It's better to hurry up and not wait until summer."
Jia Heng said gently, "Yes."
Empress Dowager Feng nodded and said, "How is Jinyang these days?"
Jia Heng nodded and said, "She is at home taking care of the children."
Empress Dowager Feng looked at the young man in python robes with a gentle gaze and said, "You should also go to Jinyang Mansion often, spend more time with the children, and don't mess around with other girls outside."
Jia Heng nodded repeatedly, feeling a huge pressure.
Empress Dowager Feng asked again, "Is the baby in Xianning about to be born?"
Jia Heng nodded and whispered, "The fetus has been gestating for about ten months, and it will be this month."
Under Empress Dowager Feng's gray brows, her old and turbid eyes gently looked at the young man in the python robe. She seemed to be silent for a long time before she said, "You should also spend more time with her."
When the children from both sides meet in the future, what should they call each other?
It's really absurd and outrageous.
Jia Heng and Empress Dowager Feng sat down and talked for a while, then said goodbye and left.
Facing this mother-in-law who was well-informed and had a sharp eye, he was under tremendous pressure, not to mention that he and Tianniuer were cheating on Empress Dowager Feng's son.
After Jia Heng left Changle Palace, he headed towards Kunning Palace again.
Zhen Qing in Kunning Palace had just finished bathing and changed into a new dress. Her fair and delicate face was as white and rosy as a beautiful peony.
Perhaps it was the power of being the mother of the country that made this beautiful woman's face even more charming and bright.
Just as Zhen Qing said before, the King of Chu had not yet left the court.
In other words, in terms of "dedication to work", the King of Chu is almost a replica of Emperor Chongping, working day and night, and pursuing fame and fortune.
"Your Majesty, Prince Wei requests to see you." At this time, a maid came into the hall, looking warmly and speaking in a low voice.
Zhen Qing's beautiful eyes sparkled slightly under her long eyebrows. She looked surprised and said, "Prince Wei? What are you doing here again?"
This bastard, wasn’t he obsessed enough just now?
I really can't accompany him right now. After a while, that person should be back.
Zhen Xue nodded and said softly, "Sister, maybe something happened."
Zhen Qing's jade-like face was charming, her red lips slightly parted, and she said, "Xuan."
After a while, a young man in a python robe came quickly. His eyebrows and eyes were cold and his face was calm. He said, "Your Majesty, I greet you."
Zhen Qing stared at the young man in the python robe with her narrow, clear eyes under her curved eyebrows and asked, "Zi Yu, is there something you need to enter the palace?"
Jia Heng thought for a moment and said, "The position of the Xue family's imperial merchant was changed because of the change of the chief managers of the six palaces in the palace. I would like to ask the Queen for a favor."
A thoughtful look appeared on Zhen Qing's face, and she said, "I heard about this matter from the female official before. I will send someone to say hello later."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
After thinking for a while, he said, "There is one more thing. The little princes Chen Luo and Chen Qianqian are both at the age of enlightenment. We need to hire a teacher from outside the palace to teach them how to read and write."
Zhen Qing thought for a moment and said in a clear voice, "This matter has also been approved by me."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhen Qing glanced at Zhen Xue who was sitting beside her. Her beautiful face was full of smiles. She said softly, "Xue'er will be back soon. You can give her a ride later."
Hearing this, Jia Heng looked at Zhen Xue who was not far away, met her gentle eyes that seemed to want to say something but couldn't, and said, "Princess, please."
There was no way the two of them could travel in the same car, so they left the palace and talked together, reminiscing about their feelings after separation.
Zhen Xue responded softly, and then followed Jia Heng out of Kunning Palace.
The two of them walked quickly outside along the palace road lined with tall vermilion walls. At this moment, they saw the glazed tiles on the palace with pink walls and black tiles sparkling in the afternoon spring sun, shining brightly in people's eyes.
Jia Heng turned to look at Zhen Xue and asked, "How are you doing recently?"
Zhen Xue's voice was as soft as Wu Nong's, and she looked at him with sparkling eyes and said, "It's okay, it's just that Ying'er is a bit noisy."
Jia Heng asked, "What is Prince Beijing doing recently?"
"He is still hanging out with the guests and servants outside after returning from the Grand Council, just like he always does." Zhen Xue's beautiful and bright face looked even more beautiful under the sunlight as she whispered.
Jia Heng nodded and didn't say anything else.
Zhen Xue paused for a moment, and looked at the young man in the python costume with a clear gaze, and said, "Where are you going later?"
"Go to the Princess's house." Jia Heng said softly.
Zhen Xue nodded, and as she lowered her head, her eyes were dim and dazed, and she couldn't help feeling a sense of loss in her heart.
Jia Heng naturally caught the disappointment in the beauty's eyes and whispered, "After a few days, the princess can bring Ying'er to see Lan'er and Xi'er."
Since he returned to Beijing, he has had no time to spend with Xue'er and her mother.
When Zhen Xue heard this, her heart couldn't help but be delighted. Her fair and delicate face was filled with joy and she said "hmm" softly.
Afterwards, Jia Heng didn't say anything else. He escorted Zhen Xue and quickly left the palace.
……
……
In the backyard hall of Princess Jinyang's residence——
Princess Jinyang was teasing her son Jia Jie, chuckling from time to time, while Fu Qiufang and Lianxue were holding account books on two embroidered cushions covered with mattresses.
There is a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere in the hall.
At this moment, a maid came in quickly from outside the corridor and said, "Your Highness, the Princess, the Prince of Wei is here."
Princess Jinyang looked in the direction of the voice, and soon the young man in the python robe walked into the hall. He had sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and a handsome face.
The beauty stared at it and asked, "Where did it come from?"
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Yes, I just went to the palace to meet the emperor and the queen mother."
Princess Jinyang's beautiful eyes were crystal clear and her eyebrows were curved. She said, "Did the Queen Mother say anything in the palace? I was just thinking about going to see her in the next two days."
Jia Heng's eyes were warm under his sword-like brows. He stared at Princess Jinyang and whispered, "She didn't say anything. She just asked me to spend more time with you and Xianning."
Princess Jinyang's eyebrows were curved, and she blinked her beautiful eyes, her fair and snowy face was as bright as a rosy cloud.
Jia Heng sat down, picked up a blue and white porcelain teacup, took a sip, and asked, "Where's Xianning?"
"She is waiting to give birth in the backyard now, and Yuanchun should be giving birth soon." Princess Jinyang smiled and said softly.
Jia Heng smiled and said, "I'll go see them later."
As he spoke, he came close to his son, hugged the little guy, kissed his rosy cheeks, and said with a smile, "Jie'er, do you miss daddy?"
Today's children are still young, so there is no need to worry about spoiling them.
"Daddy~" Jia Jie's delicate and rosy face, his voice soft and tender, he spoke softly.
Princess Jinyang looked at the two of them. Her beautiful eyes were filled with happiness and sweet smiles beneath her bright eyebrows. She said, "It's time for our Jie'er to learn to read. I'll tell you when to hire a teacher to teach him."
Jia Heng said, "Since you are so young, you should start by learning the Thousand Character Classic."
Princess Jinyang paused for a moment and said softly, "By the way, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been handed over to the Zhen family. The new emperor sent an eunuch to the mansion and said that he wanted me to go to the palace."
Jia Heng showed a thoughtful look on his face. He looked at Princess Jinyang, frowned, and said, "You pushed him away."
The King of Chu is a man of evil intentions, and he probably covets Jinyang.
Well, although he had just had a fight with Zhen Qing in the palace, he had been punished.
"I have already declined." Princess Jinyang raised her eyebrows, her beautiful eyes sparkling with light, and said in a low voice.
Jia Heng held his son and played with him for a while. Then, without staying in the hall for long, he left the house and went to the backyard to see Xianning.
In the backyard, in the side room——
As Xianning's due date approaches, her originally slender and tall figure has become even more plump and graceful, and her originally quiet and cold face is now covered with a layer of blushing charm, as bright as a peach, and radiant.
Li Chanyue was peeling a red-skinned orange in her hands. The juice was flowing through the girl's slender hands as she broke the fresh orange.
Then, she took half an orange, handed it to Xianning, and said in a sweet voice, "Cousin, here you go."
Princess Xianning joked and whispered, "That still has to be Chanyue. Some people can't be counted on."
Li Chanyue's eyes sparkled under her beautiful eyebrows. She said, "Mr. Jia, he is usually so busy that he hardly has time to rest."
"I'm about to give birth, but I haven't seen him yet." Princess Xianning held a juicy orange in her slender hands, put it in her mouth and chewed it gently, feeling the sour and sweet taste.
Just as the two cousins were talking, a hearty and laughing voice was heard from outside, and a gentle voice said: "Xianning is talking about me."
As he spoke, Jia Heng walked around a wooden glass screen, and with a warm gaze from beneath his sword-like brows, he looked at Princess Xianning, whose belly was bulging like a ball, and said softly, "Xianning."
As he spoke, he sat down near Princess Xianning and asked with a smile, "The baby will be born in a few days, right?"
Princess Xianning said "hmm", with a happy and sweet smile on her face, and said, "It should be at the end of the month. Sir, do you think it will be a boy or a girl?"
Jia Heng said: "You like sour food so much, you must be a boy."
Princess Xianning hummed softly, and stroked the small bulge in her belly with one hand. Her beautiful face was full of smiles, and she said, "I think it's a boy too."
Jia Heng moved closer, listened to the movements of the beautiful woman's abdomen, and asked, "Did he kick you?"
Princess Xianning's eyes were as bright as water under her willow-shaped eyebrows, and she said softly, "I kicked him twice again today."
Jia Heng gently took Princess Xianning's hand, his eyes warm, and said softly: "Take good care of your pregnancy, I will come here often in the next few days."
Li Chanyue looked at the two of them from a distance, her starry eyes flickering and a feeling of envy welling up in her heart.
I don't know when it will be her turn...
