Rongguo Mansion, Rongqing Hall
At this moment, as Jia Zheng narrated what happened in the court today, the hall seemed to be filled with a spring breeze and a joyful atmosphere.
Aunt Xue frowned, and said with a somewhat dissatisfied tone, "Those civil servants are really something. Whenever Heng-ge does something, they always try to stop him."
Madam Xing chimed in, saying, "Isn't it? Whenever there's a major incident, it's always Brother Heng who goes out to settle it. When things are settled and he's rewarded, they just gossip about it."
A smile hung on Jia's old face. She looked at Jia Zheng intently and asked, "Brother Heng has been crowned a prince this time. It is truly a blessing from our ancestors and a great honor to our family."
Sister Feng listened quietly at the side and thought to herself, even if the ancestors themselves did not become dukes or princes, how could they bless their descendants for generations to come?
But of course I can't say this to Lady Jia, so as not to spoil her interest.
Jia Zheng's bright eyes flickered under his sword-like brows, and he whispered, "Old Madam, wait for Zi Yu to come back, and then we can discuss the matter of ancestor worship."
Grandmother Jia nodded and said, "There's no need to rush. Yuanyang, go to the East Palace and tell Keqing the good news."
Yuanyang laughed and said "Hey" behind Lady Jia, then left Rongqing Hall and went to the outer room.
Grandmother Jia said, "Brother Heng has been conferred the title of prince this time, and the rules and regulations will be different from before."
Jia Zheng nodded and whispered, "What the old lady said is right. Now that Ziyu has been conferred the title of prince, according to the etiquette, he can get palace guards, imperial carriage attendants, and his salary will also be increased."
Grandmother Jia said, "Yes, they will be princes in the future, and things will be different. Lin and Bao will be concubines in the future, which is equivalent to the status of a prince's wife. If they have a son or daughter in the future, they will also be princes or princesses of a county."
Of course, although the son of a concubine is a prince, he may not necessarily be given an actual title. It ultimately depends on the emperor's favor.
Aunt Xue was listening to what Grandmother Jia said, and a bright smile appeared on her fair, plump face. She said, "It all depends on the luck of Bao and Lin. Can they give birth to a child?"
Her daughter has good vision. If Hengge'er becomes a prince, she will be a concubine in the future, and her children will also have a title in the future.
That would be truly tremendous wealth.
Ningguo Mansion
At this moment, in the hall of the back house, Qin Keqing was holding her daughter Jia Fu. Her jade-like face had fair skin and a gentle temperament, full of the elegance and grace of a noble lady.
Not far away, sitting on a pearwood chair were You Erjie, You Sanjie and the three You sisters, all of whom were equally beautiful and dignified.
At this time, an old maid entered the hall and said to Qin Keqing, who was sitting on the couch, "Princess, Yuanyang from the West Palace is here."
When Qin Keqing heard this, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on her fair and delicate face.
After a while, Yuanyang entered the hall, met Qin Keqing's curious eyes, and said, "Congratulations to the princess."
Qin Keqing was stunned when she heard this and asked, "Why should I be happy?"
Yuanyang couldn't hide her joy in her voice, and said, "The second master just came back from the palace and mentioned that the prince was promoted to the title of prince."
Qin Keqing's expression paused slightly, and she was surprised and happy.
Third Sister You chuckled and whispered, "It seems that the prince has been rewarded. I said that the prince had previously supported the new emperor to ascend the throne and suppressed the rebellion of the villains, so the palace should also reward him. I don't want to wait here any longer."
Yuanyang chuckled and said, "The old lady said that after a while, we will offer sacrifices to our ancestors and comfort them."
Qin Keqing nodded and said, "Baozhu, go to the Grand View Garden and inform Sister Lin and Sister Xue."
At this time, Baozhu responded and turned and left.
Third Sister You smiled, her eyes flickered, and she said softly, "Sister will be the prince's consort from now on."
Qin Keqing whispered, "Whether they are princesses or not, they are all sisters at home. There is no princess."
Third Sister You chuckled and said, "That's true."
In the flower hall, everyone had happy smiles on their faces and couldn't help feeling happy.
……
……
Daming Palace, Hanyuan Hall, Side Hall
Inside the spacious palace, there was a red lacquered wooden coffin. The sunlight from outside the window shone on the lacquered wood of the coffin, revealing circles of red luster.
Under Zhen Qing's willow-shaped brows, her beautiful eyes seemed to be imbued with the deep love for mountains and rivers. She depicted every inch of the facial contours of the young man in the python costume carefully, then walked closer to the young man's ear and seemed to whisper a few words.
Jia Heng: "..."
No, are you serious?
This is really a punishment from God, right?
Especially doing such a thing next to the coffin of the King of Chu was really unexpected.
Zhen Qing's face was flushed, her beautiful eyes sparkling, and she said softly, "Hurry up, while there's no one around."
She had to let the person lying in the coffin know that she would repay him a hundredfold.
Jia Heng's expression paused slightly, his sword-like eyebrows raised, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes, and he suddenly hugged Zhen Qing's plump body and went to a secluded place.
When I lifted her dress, I was surprised.
Well, this millstone is for cooling down, right?
At this moment, food and drink had already been prepared, and water had been sprinkled to clean the road, ready to welcome them outside.
Jia Heng said nothing more and started to grind the millstone.
Zhen Qing snorted, caught off guard, and hurriedly held onto the coffin beside her with one hand. Her beautiful eyes narrowed a little under her brows, as if there was a hint of mist in them.
There was a blush on both sides of Zhen Qing's fair-skinned face, and beneath her willow-shaped brows, her eyes were filled with a hint of spring charm.
At this moment, the beauty was dressed in a white mourning dress as white as snow. Her body was graceful and exquisite. She felt the collision of the young man in the python dress. The tassels of the necklace on her beautiful bun swayed gently. Under her delicate and straight nose, she snorted softly.
Zhen Qing's face was as white as snow, with a rosy complexion on both sides of her jade-like cheeks. Beads of sweat as big as soybeans gently flowed down her temples and flowed all the way to her delicate jade-like collarbone. Under the scorching sunlight, they were crystal clear and made her skin look even more jade-like.
The plump, white flesh beneath the small dress was faintly visible, standing there in a charming and breathtaking manner.
And perhaps it was because the person behind her was getting more and more interested, Zhen Qing's mind paused slightly, and she just held the vermilion lacquered coffin beside her with one hand. With the rhythm of the young man in the python costume, the coffin could be seen shaking gently.
Jia Heng was indeed frightened at this moment. Bullying the widow right next to the coffin of King Chu was really too... zombie-like.
Thinking of this, Jia Heng picked up the beautiful woman with soft and fragrant skin and leaned her against the coffin.
Zhen Qing was caught off guard and let out a sweet moan. At this moment, she felt her heart swaying and could hardly control herself. Her face suddenly flushed brightly.
This enemy, who just said he was unwilling, is now more eager than anyone else.
……
……
The two of them didn't know how long they had been entangled with each other, and it was not until noon that the couple finally stopped their affair.
Zhen Qing's legs were barely able to stand at this moment, her body swaying unconsciously. She snorted softly, and her originally cool and beautiful face turned rosy red, and she breathed slightly. Her plain skirt was already wrinkled.
At this moment, two slender hands suddenly pressed down the lid of the vermilion lacquered coffin, as if she was in the boudoir, swinging on the swing in the back house of the Zhen Mansion in Jiangnan, swinging back and forth in the clouds.
Jia Heng glanced at the sky and said, "It's getting late. You should be almost there too."
If he continues to act like this, the King of Chu will really open his coffin and get up.
However, he could also feel that Mopan was satisfied and had returned with a full load.
Zhen Qing uttered a "hmm" sound that sounded like a murmur or a hum, her snow-white face was flushed like a rosy cloud, her brows and eyes were filled with charm silently, and her delicate body had already collapsed into mud.
Jia Heng didn't say anything else. He gently pulled Zhen Qing's arm, hugged her in his arms, and whispered, "All you do is make trouble every day."
"Don't be so ungrateful after getting the advantage." Zhen Qing said with narrow eyes and angrily, secretly spitting. This man must have been thinking about this incident for a long time.
Otherwise, he would not be so enthusiastic and would not have laid her in the coffin.
Jia Heng looked strange for a moment, but didn't say anything else. He straightened his clothes and chatted with Zhen Qing for a while. After all, he was worried about something and didn't linger for long. While talking, he strode out of the side hall of Hanyuan Palace.
He really couldn't stand Zhen Qing being so annoying.
If this continues, all my fame will be worn out by the millstone.
After leaving the side hall of Hanyuan Palace, Jia Heng stood under the eaves. The summer breeze blew in his face, and he felt refreshed. But without knowing when, the sky was covered with leaden clouds, as if a storm was brewing.
"Click..."
At this moment, there was a sudden flash of lightning in the sky, the sky and the earth turned white, and then there was thunder and lightning.
The rain poured down in large quantities, as if even God couldn't stand it and wanted to completely wash away the sins and stains between heaven and earth.
In an instant, the eaves of the blue brick and black tile corridor were covered with raindrops like curtains, with countless threads. Everywhere you look, it is hazy and the sky and earth are vast.
Jia Heng's face was calm, like the mysterious water. After thinking for a while, he decided to go see Queen Song.
but……
Jia Heng paused slightly, clearly thinking something over, then reached out his hand and washed his hands with the rain water dripping from the eaves, temporarily removing the scent of makeup and powder from his body.
As he spoke, Jia Heng walked towards the direction of Funing Palace.
Not far away, he borrowed an umbrella from a palace servant walking in the corridor, held up the heavy rain curtain, and entered the palace wall corridor filled with wind and rain.
The wind and rain behind me seemed to be getting heavier.
In the rain-fog-shrouded palace, inside the warm room—
Queen Song was wearing a plain long dress with wide sleeves and a simple bun. Her fair face seemed to be covered with a layer of melancholy. At this moment, she listened to the crackling sound of summer rain outside and looked in the direction of the sound. She was undoubtedly feeling even more depressed.
Not far away were his own twin children, cute and clever, sitting opposite each other.
His son Chen Luo was playing with a green-skinned gourd, while Qianqian, not far away, was holding a pair of colorful ropes and flipping them over and over.
Today, Concubine Duanrong is not here.
At this moment, a female official came in quickly from outside and reported, "Your Majesty, we have already inquired before."
Queen Song's flawless white face showed an anxious look, and she asked softly, "What do you mean?"
The female official nodded and said, "In front, the eunuch read out the imperial edict, and the new emperor appointed the East Palace to ascend the throne."
When Queen Song heard this, her expression changed, and she quickly asked, "Where is Jia Ziyu?"
The female official whispered, "Take Jia Ziyu for example. The Prince of Wei has conferred him the title of prince."
When Queen Song heard this, a trace of thought appeared on her face, which was not made up but still beautiful. She stared blankly for a moment and said, "Prince?"
This bastard, she wondered why he didn't help her Ran'er, it turns out he wanted to be conferred the title of prince, it turns out he was waiting here.
Queen Song clenched her fists at this moment, feeling so angry that she gritted her teeth.
This bastard was deceiving her with all his sweet words. It was totally outrageous!
At this moment, a maid from the outer room came into the back hall and said softly, "My lady, the prince Wei is here."
Queen Song was feeling bored, and when she heard this, her bright face showed surprise for a moment, then she felt shocked and angry.
This bastard actually has the nerve to see her?
Soon, the beauty looked over and saw a young man in a python robe walking towards her. He paused for a moment, then approached her and said, "Greetings, Madam."
Queen Song looked at the young man in the python robe with her beautiful eyes under her emerald eyebrows. She suppressed her surging thoughts and said with a cold face, "Jia Ziyu, why did you come to see me?"
This bastard said that he would support Luo Er to ascend the throne, but now the Front Hall allows Zhen Qing's son to ascend the throne. This is simply outrageous!
Lying to her again!
Jia Heng nodded and said, "I'll come over to meet Qianqian and Luo'er."
As he spoke, he looked at Qianqian and Chen Luo beside him and said, "Qianqian."
"Brother-in-law." Under the slender and delicate eyebrows, the pair of crystal clear eyes were almost like black grapes, smart, clear, bright and charming.
Jia Heng came closer and embraced Qianqian's delicate body. His expression paused and he whispered, "Let your brother-in-law see if you have gained weight again."
As he spoke, he picked up the cute, soft and chubby little Loli and gave her a kiss. He could feel the fragrance of her rouge and powder flowing through his mouth.
Queen Song's expression paused slightly, and she looked intently at the young man in the python robe, and couldn't help but curl her lips.
Is this person really here to see his daughter? Why doesn't he come to see her?
At this moment, Jia Heng's expression paused slightly. He played with Qianqian for a while, and then put Qianqian on a soft couch covered with a bamboo mat again.
Then, he looked at Chen Luo standing beside him. At this moment, the child had thick eyebrows and big eyes. His eyes were as black as ink, clear and bright, and there was a sense of tranquility between his eyebrows.
In other words, he already has the bearing of a king at such a young age.
Well, it’s better not to say this to Queen Song.
At this moment, Queen Song saw that the young man was holding the little girl and teasing her for a while, so she quickly ordered the female official serving beside her, "Go and take her away."
Suddenly, two wet nurses came forward, picked up the little Loli and Chen Luo, and went to the side hall.
"Mother, I'm talking to my brother-in-law." The little girl's face flushed, and she spoke in a soft and cute voice.
Queen Song had a stern face and said in a cold voice, "Mother, please speak to your brother-in-law."
The little girl curled her lips and snorted, seeming a little unhappy.
Jia Heng's eyes flickered under his sharp eyebrows. He looked intently at the dignified and beautiful woman, and vaguely sensed that she was somewhat unhappy.
Well, it shouldn’t be fast.
After all, the new emperor succeeded to the throne, but he was not his own child.
While Jia Heng was talking, he moved closer to the beauty, looked at the beautiful woman with a gorgeous face and a jade-like complexion, and whispered, "What's wrong?"
Tianniu'er wouldn't be missing him. She had just been intimate with Mopan, and now he was clinging to Tianniu'er again. I'm afraid Tianniu'er would notice something.
"Kneel down in front of me, I am going to interrogate you." Queen Song raised her eyebrows, with a hint of viciousness in her beautiful eyes, and shouted tenderly.
Jia Heng: "..."
What the hell is going on here? Is this... role-playing?
Thinking of this, Jia Heng simply responded to Queen Song's nonsense, knelt down with a plop, and said, "Your humble servant respectfully listens to the Queen's kind instructions."
Queen Song's snow-white face was stunned for a moment. She stared at the young man in the python robe who was kneeling down to pay his respects, and a strange feeling arose in her heart.
I always feel that this little fox is plotting something bad right now?
Well, never mind, just ask him first.
Queen Song's eyebrows were curved, her face was cold and frosty, her eyes were scorching, and she asked, "What about what you promised me? You were so sure of your words at the beginning, why are you going back on your word now?"
Jia Heng said, "Your Majesty, please allow me to report that the succession of the Crown Prince is in accordance with the will of Heaven and the times. The cabinet and the civil and military officials all agree with this, and I dare not go against the general trend."
Queen Song's eyebrows were curved, and her charming eyes showed a hint of sneer. She said in a cold voice: "What do you mean by following the will of heaven? If it weren't for you letting the new emperor..."
As the beauty spoke, she realized that she had said something wrong, so she paused and said, "What did you tell me at the beginning? You don't intend to admit it now, right?"
Jia Heng said, "My lady, I have not denied it, but it is just a matter of time. Let's wait for two years and see. Luo'er is still young, and we don't know what the characters and talents of the children will be in the future."
Upon hearing this, Queen Song frowned, looking thoughtful.
competence?
Could it be that this little fox wants to choose the wisest person to succeed him?
Then, the young man in the python robe spoke again: "Your Majesty, now that two generations of emperors have passed away one after another, the court is in turmoil and the country is in jeopardy. It is really not appropriate to depose or enthrone another."
Queen Song said coldly, "Are you willing to abolish the son born to Zhen?"
Originally, she thought that this man sent the new emperor to the underworld for her and Luo'er, but now it seems that it was just to live together with Zhen.
Thinking of this, Queen Song felt endless negative emotions in her heart, and when she looked at Jia Heng, her expression became somewhat unfriendly.
Zhen, that vicious woman, had an affair with another man for her lover and murdered her husband. Is she a good woman?
Well, as for her...it seems like she's also having an affair.
She did not murder her husband either.
Perhaps at this moment, the beauty has regained some of her inner confidence.
