Grand View Garden
Jia Heng and Xing Xiuyan walked along the long and winding green-painted corridor, passed through a moon-shaped doorway with white lacquer and black tiles, and hurried into the courtyard.
Jia Heng suddenly stopped and looked at Xing Xiuyan. At this moment, the winter sunlight shone on the beautiful and bright face of the beauty.
Xing Xiuyan's beautiful cheeks blushed slightly and she said, "Brother Heng, what's wrong?"
What are you looking at her for?
However, at this moment, the girl's heart trembled, and she felt her slender hand being tightly held by the young man. Xing Xiuyan snorted lightly, and before she said anything else, she fell into Jia Heng's arms.
"Brother Heng." Xing Xiuyan's voice was a little flustered, and two rose-red blushes suddenly appeared under her willow-shaped eyebrows that seemed to be rising from the clouds.
Then, before she could finish her words, she saw the young man in the python robe coming closer and kissing her on the lips.
As intimate as ever, with a gentle and bright meaning.
After a long time, the two suddenly parted their lips.
Under the shining winter sunlight, a crystal silk thread is faintly visible, seeming to reflect the sparkling light.
Xing Xiuyan had already collapsed in Jia Heng's arms, her fair and delicate face blushing as red as a rosy cloud. She collapsed in Jia Heng's arms.
Jia Heng nodded, his eyes paused slightly under his sword-like brows, and he looked at Xing Xiuyan intently, saying, "Xiuyan."
Xing Xiuyan's beautiful eyebrows were as dark as ink, and her clear eyes were full of charm. She said, "Brother Heng, let's go to the first wife."
Jia Heng looked at Xing Xiuyan intently from under his sword-like eyebrows, and said, "Let's go together."
As he spoke, he took Xing Xiuyun's slender hand, left the Grand View Garden, and walked along the long and winding corridor into the Rongguo Mansion which was separated by a wall.
Rongguo Mansion, the courtyard where Madam Xing lives——
Mrs. Xing has been staying in the mansion since Jia She was exiled to Guizhou. She doesn't have any entertainment activities on weekdays. Apart from chatting with relatives, she goes to Rongqing Hall to talk with Lady Jia to relieve her boredom.
In the past, Grandmother Jia did not like Xing because of her poor tongue and harsh words. But with Jia She being exiled, Xing was left alone, and Grandmother Jia began to feel some sympathy for the poor and weak, so her disgust was reduced a lot.
By coincidence, today, Mrs. Xing invited her brother Xing Zhong and his wife Fan into the hall, where they were chatting and laughing together.
At this moment, Madam Xing smiled and said, "This time Heng'er has been conferred the title of a prince, Xiuyan will at least be a lady of imperial title, you can rest assured, Heng'er would not have wanted Xiuyan to be a concubine in the first place."
Although the Xing family was a small family, they did not really want their daughter to be a concubine.
Xing Zhong nodded and said, "I will be relieved if Xiuyan can find a good husband."
Xing Zhong's wife, Fan, also smiled on her wrinkled face and said, "It's you, the aunt, who should worry more."
Madam Xing nodded and smiled, "Don't worry. I have always treated Xiuyan as my own daughter. Now that she is married to Heng'er, she has found a good home. Heng'er is now a prince, a hereditary prince. In the future, when Xiuyan has a son or daughter, they will be proper young masters and young ladies."
Although in name, Xing Xiuyun was Jia Heng's concubine and there was no need for her to get married, but in private, he could naturally speak to her in nice ways.
Fan nodded, unable to hide the smile on her face.
While they were talking, a maid came in from outside and said, "Madam, Master Heng and Miss Xing are here."
When Mrs. Xing heard this, she was surprised for a moment, then she was overjoyed. She looked at Xing Zhong and Fan and said, "They must have come here to discuss marriage."
Soon, the young man in the python robe and Xing Xiuyan came together.
"Is Heng'er here?" Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xing stood up, looked at the young man in the python robe with reverence, and asked.
Jia Heng said, "Madam."
Xing Xiuyan's clear eyes sparkled like dewdrops. She looked quietly at Xing's father and mother who were not far away, and said softly, "Dad, Mom."
Xing Zhong was very honest and simple. He stood up and called out, "Xiu Yan, here she comes."
Then, he looked at Jia Heng who was standing beside him, looking somewhat at a loss, and said with a bow, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Xing's mother, Fan, looked at the young man in the python robe, and she was also a little afraid and embarrassed, and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Or maybe this is the characteristic of a small family.
Jia Heng said quickly: "Uncle, aunt, there is no need to be so polite."
Xing Xiuyan's eyes were as bright as water under her beautiful eyebrows, and she pursed her pink lips.
Jia Heng took Xing Xiuyan's slender hand, and the graceful and beautiful girl's face was furious. He said, "Uncle, Aunt, I came here mainly to discuss Xiuyan's marriage. I want to choose an auspicious day to marry Xiuyan."
Xing Zhong was overjoyed when he heard this, and said quickly, "Let Hengge decide on the marriage."
To be honest, the Xing family is also looking forward to it very much.
Mrs. Xing took over the conversation and said, "I think the fifteenth of this month is a good day. Let Xiuyan marry there."
Jia Heng thought for a moment and said, "Fifteen? That means five days later, that's fine too."
Madam Xing looked at Xing Xiuyan with a smile and said softly, "Xiuyan, I don't have any other instructions. After you get married, serve Heng'er well."
Xing Xiuyan lowered her delicate head with long black hair like a waterfall, and her beautiful and bright face was already red as clouds, she couldn't help blushing.
After a while, the young man in the python robe said, "The first lady and Xiu Yan will talk first. I will go to the outer room to take a look."
After saying this, Jia Heng did not stay in the room where Mrs. Xing was for long. He stood under the eaves of the corridor, gazing at the jagged rocks. At this moment, the snow covered the rocks, making them look clear and beautiful.
Apart from Xiuyan, there are also the matters of Baoqin and Xiangyun, and perhaps it's time to come to the fore.
If it were in the past, when he was still a Duke, it might have been a bit ugly for him to "catch all the girls in the backyard" in one fell swoop, but now he is a Prince, and in the rapid development, the relevant contradictions have been completely resolved.
In other words, this world is always tolerant to the strong.
In the side room, after Jia Heng left, Madam Xing took Xing Xiuyan's delicate hand. Her fair and soft face was filled with a kind and gentle smile. She said, "Xiuyan, after you get married, you should have a child soon, preferably a son, so that you will have someone to rely on for the rest of your life."
Although Mrs. Xing in the original novel is somewhat as her name suggests and too cold, that is because she is unable to have children, not because she does not want them.
When Xing Xiuyan heard this, blush spread across her beautiful and dignified face, and she said, "Aunt, I...I will."
Perhaps the girl was fascinated by the scene of Miaoyu's intimate interaction with her daughter, and she felt a sense of longing deep in her heart.
Heartfelt smiles also appeared on the simple and old faces of Xing's father and mother.
Madam Xing smiled and asked, "Did he tell you when he would ask the clan officials to grant you a title?"
After all, she was the wife of a first-class general and was well aware of all these things.
Xing Zhong and Fan had anticipation on their faces and a hint of eagerness in their eyes.
Xing Xiuyan lowered her eyebrows, her voice full of softness and gentleness, and said, "Brother Heng said that the Ministry of Internal Affairs will send someone over in the next two days."
Madam Xing's jade-like face was full of bright smiles. She said, "That's good. How can a woman be as honorable and dignified as a royal lady?"
As he spoke, he looked at Xing Zhong and Fan Shi beside him and whispered, "You will have to rely on your daughter from now on."
Xing Zhong and Fan both had bright smiles on their faces.
It can be said that the daughter was very happy to find a rich husband.
Fan smiled and said, "After all, this is also Xiuyan's blessing."
Xing Xiuyan felt a little shy at the moment. She pursed her pink lips, and her beautiful eyes drooped under her curved eyelashes, looking a little unnatural.
Given the girl's carefree nature, she really doesn't like this kind of trend of clinging to someone of high social status.
After a while, Xing Xiuyan, holding a corner of her skirt saw, stepped over the threshold, walked out of the wing room, looked at the young man in python robe standing on the eaves of the corridor, and called out, "Brother Heng."
Jia Heng turned his head to look at Xing Xiuyan, a warm smile appeared on his face, and said, "Xiuyan, is everything settled?"
He liked Xiu Yan's temperament, which was like that of a free and easy cloud and wild crane, and as indifferent as the breeze and bright moon.
Xing Xiuyan hummed softly, and then she felt her hand being held. Suddenly, a light blush appeared on both sides of her beautiful and charming face.
It's broad daylight and someone else might see us.
But another thought suddenly popped up in my mind. I had just met his parents, and from now on I would be his.
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back to the Grand View Garden. I'll have the front yard give your family a betrothal gift later."
Xing Xiuyan hummed, and two faint blushes seemed to appear on her beautiful and bright face, extending all the way to her delicate and petite earlobes, making them rosy and tempting.
Jia Heng said nothing more and took Xing Xiuyun's slender hand and went to the Grand View Garden.
……
……
Grand View Garden, Cuicui Temple
Miaoyu was wearing a loose skirt, her belly was bulging like a ball, and her round and smooth face was without any makeup, full of tranquility and brightness.
At this moment, I am talking to my daughter.
My daughter Jia Mo was shaking a rattle in her hand. Her rosy and chubby face was tender and beautiful, and she looked as cute and clever as a porcelain doll, delicate and exquisite.
"Why hasn't Dad come back yet?" Jia Mo said in a soft and cute voice with bright eyes shining brightly under her thin eyebrows.
Miaoyu smiled and said, "Daddy has something else to do and won't be back until later."
Jia Mo snorted softly, pouted her bright red lips, and said in a low voice, "Daddy said he would accompany me."
Miaoyu's clear eyes moved slightly under her curved eyebrows, and she said, "At the beginning, you also said that you would accompany me."
Jia Mo: “…”
Obviously, with the little girl's brain capacity, she didn't quite understand what Miaoyu meant, but she probably understood that her father didn't keep his word.
At this moment, the maid Susu quickly entered the room and said, "Miss, the master is here."
"Your father is back." Miaoyu stretched out her hand and pinched her daughter's rosy face, saying jokingly with a smile.
Then, Jia Heng and Xing Xiuyan entered the side room together.
"Are you back?" Miaoyu raised her beautiful head and looked at Jia Heng who was returning arm in arm with Xing Xiuyun. There was a hint of inexplicable joy in her bright and gentle eyes.
Jia Heng said: "I'm back."
As he said that, he sat down on the bed, looked at the cute baby beside him with a smile, stretched out his hands, and said, "Momo, come here, let daddy hug you."
As he was talking, Jia Heng came closer and picked up Jia Mo. Then, he could smell the milky scent of the cute little baby, which made his heart jump.
"Daddy, where have you and Aunt Xiuyan been?" Momo raised her rosy and chubby face and called softly.
Jia Heng lovingly stretched out his hand and pinched his daughter's pink cheeks, which were so tender that they could be squeezed to make water come out of them, and teased, "Go and find your sister."
"Daddy never wants to play with me." Momo's eyes were bright and shining under her slender eyebrows, like shining stars. She pouted her bright pink lips and said coquettishly.
Jia Heng smiled and said, "Daddy will play with you these two days, okay?"
Momo said in a soft and joyful voice, "Okay."
As Jia Heng spoke, he picked up Momo.
At this moment, Jia Heng took a rattle and shook it gently, his eyes full of the kindness of an old father, and said, "Momo, play with this."
"Daddy, I don't want to play this. We are adults now." Momo said in a soft voice with bright eyes.
Jia Heng smiled and jokingly asked, "How come you are an adult now?"
It’s definitely cute when a cute baby says she’s an adult, but it’s simply disgusting when an old girl says she’s a little girl.
Momo said in a soft and tender voice, "Daddy, how about we play cat's tangle?"
Jia Heng smiled and said, "Okay."
As he spoke, he looked at Su Su with his sword-like brows fixed, and called out, "Su Su, go get the flower rope."
Not far away, Miaoyu was leaning on a wooden embroidered couch reading a book. She looked at the interaction between the father and daughter with a gentle gaze, her face full of happiness and sweetness.
At this moment, Xing Xiuyan, with her fair face, was looking at the two of them with a bright smile, her eyes full of envy.
Miaoyu's eyes were as gentle as water under her beautiful and charming eyebrows. She asked softly, "Have you decided when to get married?"
Jia Heng said, "In five days from the middle of this month, it will be time for the wedding."
Miaoyu said softly: "The middle of the month is indeed an auspicious day. We must make good preparations in the next few days."
As he spoke, he sighed, "It seems that the world is indeed peaceful."
After all, this person was really busy in the past.
Jia Heng said: "Not necessarily. It's just that there has been a little peace during this period of time."
After Liaodong was pacified, the nine border towns had to be abolished. In addition, he was committed to promoting naval construction. Now the economic focus of the Han Dynasty has shifted to the navy, which provides escort for Daxing's economic and trade.
But now Emperor Chongping is in the period of "recuperation", and he also needs to examine the character of his sons, so these things can only be postponed.
Besides, it is not appropriate for him to make his presence too visible in the court now.
Jia Heng's complicated thoughts drifted away for a moment.
At this moment, Momo, who was in his arms, stretched out her soft and tender little hand, gently touched Jia Heng's face, and said, "Daddy, I'm thinking about my sister."
Although the little girl didn't know that her father was not paying attention to her, she felt a little unhappy when she saw that her father was not paying attention to her.
Jia Heng lowered his eyes, looked at the little girl in his arms, and said with a smile: "I'm thinking about Momo. I'm thinking about when Momo will learn to read."
The little girl is really precocious. She will probably become a talented lady with a kind heart and a beautiful mind in the future.
Miaoyu saw the father and daughter talking, her eyes were as clear as water under her dark eyebrows, and she said, "Take your daughter out for a walk, I have a headache because of all the noise."
Jia Heng smiled and said angrily, "You are really jealous of even your daughter."
This is another case of neglecting the mother.
As he spoke, he gently held the beauty's slender hand, looked at her fiery face, and said, "We are a family of three, well, four, and we will definitely be able to live together forever."
Miaoyu's beautiful face was full of sweetness, and she couldn't help showing a hint of joy, and said, "Yes."
She was also a little worried. As his official rank became higher and higher, the situation in the court became more and more tense. As the saying goes, one can only rise and fall in the officialdom. What if...
No, he is so shrewd and cunning that he will definitely not fall to that point. If that day really comes, the worst that can happen is that she will die with him.
At this moment, Momo in his arms raised her rosy face, her bright eyes like a clear spring rolling around as she looked at the young man in the python costume, and said softly, "Daddy, I want to see the plum blossoms."
Jia Heng's sword-like brows were filled with a smile as he said, "Okay, Daddy will take you to see it."
Then, Jia Heng looked at Miaoyu and said, "You stay here and talk to Xiuyan. My daughter and I will go to the yard to look at the plum blossoms."
"Be careful not to let her catch a cold." Miaoyu said with her crystal clear eyes softly under her beautiful willow-leaf eyebrows.
Jia Heng responded softly, and Xiu Yan took out a mink coat and covered Momo with it to block the cold wind and prevent her from catching a cold.
Jia Heng then picked up his daughter and left the room.
Miaoyu looked at Xing Xiuyan with concern under her beautiful black eyebrows and said, "Xiuyan, has the marriage been decided?"
Xing Xiuyan lowered her eyebrows, her delicate face flushed with pink, and she replied softly, "Yes."
Miaoyu's eyes were as clear as water under her curved willow-leaf brows. She said with concern, "It would be better if you could get married earlier and have a child earlier."
When Xing Xiuyan heard this, she felt even more ashamed.
"You usually look jealous, but now you feel shy." Miaoyu said softly.
Xing Xiuyan asked: "How am I jealous?"
Miaoyu's eyes were as bright as water under her willow-shaped eyebrows. She whispered, "When I didn't have Momo, I didn't know anything. Now I think it's good to have a child."
Xing Xiuyan said softly: "Sister is no longer in the same state of mind as before."
"Yes, I have become a vulgar person." Miaoyu smiled gently, and stroked her bulging belly with her bare hands, feeling a surge of happiness and sweetness in her heart.
Jia Heng, holding his own daughter, came to a red plum tree with charming and beautiful blossoms. The little girl reached out and gently stroked the pink petals.
"Daddy, is there snow up there?" The little girl's voice was soft and charming. Under her two curved eyebrows, her pair of black grape-shaped eyes were like a clear spring, bright and moving.
Jia Heng smiled and said, "Yes, Momo, don't freeze your hands."
As he spoke, he gently held the little girl's soft little hand, breathed out hot air, and asked with a smile: "Have you been angry with your mother at home during this period?"
He loves this daughter so much, her eyes are like stars and moon, so cute and adorable.
"No, it's daddy who's annoying mom every day." Momo raised her rosy and chubby face and said softly.
Jia Heng laughed and said, "Dad, why is Mom angry?"
"I'm out playing with other people's mothers every day and not looking for my mother." Momo said coquettishly with soft skin on her face.
Jia Heng: "..."
Is this little girl going to become a spirit?
After thinking about it, it must be because Miaoyu often talked to Xiuyan and complained all the time.
Jia Heng was holding Momo in his arms, walking around under a lush plum tree. He gazed at the red plum blossoms blooming on the branches, feeling somewhat happy.
He thought to himself that after Miaoyu had a child, her temperament was very different from before. She was undoubtedly much calmer and gentler. Or it could be said that the fairy who had fallen into the mortal world had undoubtedly become more popular.
In the evening, Jia Heng carried his daughter Momo into the side room and sat down at a table with Miaoyu to eat.
I still plan to stay overnight at Miaoyu's place tonight.
"Why don't you go somewhere else?" Miaoyu joked with a hint of sarcasm in her cold and sparkling eyes, under her charming willow-like brows.
Jia Heng said, "There are plenty of free days at home. I'll go and take a look later."
Miaoyu's pair of bright eyes under her willow-leaf brows glanced at the young man in the python robe and asked, "Are you not going out this time?"
Jia Heng said: "The war outside has basically settled down. There is nothing else to do. I will spend more time with you, Momo, and the baby in your belly."
Miaoyu nestled her delicate head on the young man's shoulder. Sweet and warm feelings welled up on the beautiful woman's fragrant and jade-skinned face.
