The Red Mansions

Chapter 507 Is it a relief, or is it dull?

Chapter 507 Is it a relief, or is it dull?

In the deep night, a round of bright and clear moon sprinkled countless silvery moonlights, which fell in the deep courtyard of Qi County Prince's Mansion.

Chen Cheng got off the sedan chair in front of the mansion gate, and entered the palace surrounded by his followers. Princess Xiangshi heard that the Duke of Qi had returned, and she came out from the inner room to meet the general. She took the cloak off her husband and asked: "My lord, have you had dinner in the palace yet?"

Chen Cheng called a steward to let Dou Rong go to the inner study, and smiled at Wangfei Xiangshi: "I used it in the palace with Grandpa Huang."

Xiang Shi asked softly, "What did the Emperor say?"

After all, King Qi couldn't hide his joy, and said: "Grandpa Huang has already agreed, and when I finish repairing the mausoleum, it will be a great achievement at that time, and the restoration of the title is only a matter of turning the palm of your hand."

Looking at the happy expression on her husband's fat and round face, Xiang Shi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "That's good."

While speaking, he helped Chen Cheng into the study room, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of maple tea for Chen Cheng himself, and asked, "My lord, has the foot restraint been lifted?"

"I was just about to tell you that the Emperor told Father about this matter this morning, saying that I lifted the foot ban and it would be convenient for me to go to and from the palace. Father agreed." King Qi smiled and rubbed a pair of greasy clothes. Looking at Xiang Shi with his big hand, he said softly, "I'll take you back to Guining after two days."

Xiang Shi nodded, looking at the fat and chubby King Qi, with a hint of worry floating between his gentle brows and eyes, he said in a low voice: "My lord, it seems that the weather is getting warmer every day, my lord should go out and walk more. , hunting or something."

When Chen Cheng heard this, he felt a little disconcerted, and immediately smiled and said: "I am in good health, it doesn't matter, my concubine, if you don't believe me, I will let you see it tonight."

"My lord... what nonsense are you talking about?" Hearing these teasing words, Xiang's brows and eyes were filled with shyness, her cheeks were slightly flushed, but her temperament was naturally virtuous and gentle, and she was only shy.

If it is the other concubines in the Queen's backyard of Qi County, I'm afraid they will have to make fun of it. The horse is thin and the hair is long, and the person is thin... No matter how fat the prince is, he will not be able to find it.

Chen Cheng didn't say much after that, and went to the study.

After a while, Dou Rong, the chief historian of the palace, entered the inner study, cupped his hands towards Chen Cheng who was slumped on the huanghuali wood chair, and said, "Your Majesty, I have seen the prince."

"Dou Changshi, sit down." Seeing Dou Rong approaching, Chen Cheng stretched out his hand and pointed to the opposite chair.

Dou Rong thanked him and sat down.

Chen Cheng met Dou Rong's anticipating old eyes, and said happily: "Dou Changshi, the emperor has agreed to let me supervise the construction of the imperial tomb, and I told my father in the past two days that we will wait for the letter. By the way, Mr. Yucun What? Why don’t you see him, this king should thank him well.”

Taking over the task of rushing to repair the imperial mausoleum from the palace was not only what the King of Qi wanted, but Jia Yucun also came up with an idea with the help of Queen Zhongshun who transferred from King Zhongshun to Queen of Qi. The recognition of the county king is the crystallization of collective wisdom.

Dou Rong changed his face after plastic surgery, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Yucun will come over later, I still have a few things to discuss with the prince."

"How do you say it?" Seeing Dou Rong's seriousness, Chen Cheng's expression of amusement on his face restrained a bit, and he asked with the same seriousness.

As the chief historian who controls the intelligence force under him, if he thinks he has some new news, he needs to discuss it with himself.

Dou Rong looked solemn, and asked with burning eyes: "Does the lord know that the king of Chu also entered the palace early in the morning?"

Chen Cheng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "This... I have been in Chonghua Palace Tihe Hall from yesterday to now, and I don't know about it."

As he said that, there was a sudden pause, his pupils condensed slightly, and he asked in surprise, "What Dou Changshi means is that King Xu of Chu also asked for an errand to supervise the construction of the imperial mausoleum?"

There was a hint of coldness in Dou Rong's old eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Yes, the King of Chu went to the palace and asked to see the Holy Majesty for the purpose of supervising the repair of the imperial tomb. I heard that the Holy Majesty seems to be in favor, and the prince is happy now It's too early for that."

Of course, it is impossible for the intelligence power of King Qi to penetrate into the palace, but it can penetrate into the palace of King Chu, and it was not a big secret that King Chu went to the palace to ask for an errand to supervise the construction of the imperial tomb. This fell into the eyeliner's field of vision and reported to Qi Wang's mansion.

"Since the emperor has agreed to me, there is absolutely no reason to change his mind." Chen Cheng paused and said in a deep voice.

Dou Rong twisted his beard with his hands and sighed: "With the will of the Holy One, it is hard to guarantee that one daughter will marry two families."

Chen Cheng: "???"

One daughter and two families, that is, two people are responsible for this matter, restraining and supervising each other, based on his understanding of the father, it is really possible that this is the case.

What's more, compared to being alone, he and the King of Chu are now staring at each other, which will undoubtedly ensure the completion of the imperial mausoleum as scheduled.

It's just that his credit... has been diluted.

With a bitter expression on his face, Chen Cheng said, "Mr.'s words are not unreasonable, but what should I do?"

Dou Rong said: "This matter cannot be resisted, the prince can only do his job well, first restore the prince, the meaning of the sage, it seems that he is not in a hurry to choose an heir, so the prince can at least restrain the kings."

Chen Cheng was shocked when he heard this.

Isn't this a good sign, if you don't rush to choose an heir, if he comes to check and balance the kings, isn't it in the father's heart that he has never been listed as the heir candidate?

Dou Rong looked at King Qi whose complexion was changing and his eyes were flickering, and he vaguely guessed some of the reasons, saying: "My lord, it's useless to think about it. Seizing the heir does not happen overnight, and the gain of the holy family is reduced, regardless of the momentary gains and losses. "

King Qi nodded and said, "What Chang Shi said is true."

This is also the strategy that Dou Rong gave him at the beginning. The increase or decrease of the holy family, the fluctuations, must not be avoided, but we must not pay too much attention to it, otherwise, we will not get any benefits.

"Today, Jia Heng from the Jinyi Mansion went to the Zhongshun Prince's Mansion to ransack the house, did the lord know about this?" Dou Rong suddenly asked again.

Mentioning Jia Heng, Chen Cheng's expression was clearly disturbed, and he said angrily: "Relying on his father's respect, this Jia Heng has become more and more arrogant and domineering. He is loyal to Uncle Wang. After all, he is of the blood of the Tian family. I heard that he leads the Jinyi Mansion Tiqi Go to the palace to show off your power."

Dou Rong worriedly reminded: "My lord, Jia Ziyu should not be underestimated. He is not only the governor of Jinyi, but also leads the soldiers of the Beijing camp. The lord should not hold grudges too much, and even take the initiative to repair it if possible, so as to proud of his ambition. "

He has always disapproved of his prince arguing with Jia Heng for the sake of the so-called emotional dispute, only for the sake of quick time but no real gain.

Chen Cheng said angrily: "Dou Changshi, without him, I would be alone..."

Saying that, he waved his palm fan hand and sighed: "Forget it, forget it, let's not talk about this."

He clearly felt that it was useless to argue, so he stopped talking.

At this moment, the voice of the servant outside the study sounded, saying: "My lord, Mr. Yucun, Master Huitong, and Mr. Xu are here."

Chen Cheng ordered: "Let them in."

Not long after, Master Huitong, Xu Shaozhen, Jia Yucun and others entered the study and saluted King Qi one after another.

"Mr. Yucun is here." Chen Cheng got up and looked eagerly at the middle-aged scholar in blue shirt and straight clothes. He had a wide mouth, straight nose and right cheeks, and the gaze under the silkworm eyebrows revealed an extraordinary demeanor.

"My lord." Jia Yucun cupped his hands.

This scene of courteous treatment fell in the eyes of Huitong, Xu Shaozhen and others, and they were a little bit unconvinced.

In this Jia Yu village, the dog ears of the bereaved family, how could the prince treat him so courteously?Just relying on his Jinshi background?

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Mr. Yucun, Xiao Wang still has something to ask Mr. Yucun."

Jia Yucun didn't dare to be self-confident, and hurriedly said: "My lord is too polite. Asking for advice is a word. The students dare not be. The wise and resourceful people under the lord gather together. It can be described as a meeting of the wind and clouds. The students are exhausted and blunt. If there is a fool's opinion, the lord will be punished." I am very honored.”

As soon as these words came out, some of the coldness in Huitong and Xu Shaozhen's hearts dissipated, and this attitude was at least very low.

Xu Shaozhen said with a smile: "Mr. Yucun, the prince has always respected scholars. Mr. Yucun is a famous official in the world, so there is no need to be so modest."

Jia Yucun didn't even dare.

After that, everyone sat down as guest and host, and began to talk.

……

……

Jinyang Princess Palace, Lu Mingxuan

The bright moon is bright and clear, hanging in the middle of the sky, on the bed covered with curtains, under the brocade quilt embroidered with hibiscus patterns, a pair of naked people hug each other, except for the animal head in the house, the smoked cage burns in the air. There were a few wisps of green smoke, mixed with a decadent smell.

The crested hairpin between the beauty's head hair has long since faded away, under the smooth and jade-like forehead, the temple hair is sticking to the cheeks with relish, under the two curved willow eyebrows, the crystal clear eyes are slightly opened, a graceful, plump and gorgeous face The face is white and rosy, with a rose red charm, almost like Danxia Yunjin, glowing like fire, and the lips are crystal clear and full, as if the stamens are condensed.

At this moment, Princess Jinyang's whole body was limp, like a ball of mud, leaning against Jia Heng's body like a sloth.

"Zi Yu, has your shoulder injury healed?" Li Ren had also noticed the bruise on Jia Heng's shoulder just now, she frowned and asked with concern.

"It's better, I've put on the medicinal wine." Jia Heng replied softly.

"Yesterday, was it Xianning who painted it on you?" Li Ren took Jia Heng's hand, her bright eyes twinkled slightly, and asked in a low voice.

She also saw Xianning walking with the two of them yesterday, it must have been smeared with medicinal wine, I don't know if Xianning asked the female officer to do it for him, or did it himself?

Jia Heng frowned, and said in a whisper: "Princess Xianning gave a bottle of medicinal wine..."

"You are truly blessed." Seeing Jia Heng hesitating, the jade man said angrily, stretched out his slender hand, and pinched Jia Heng's soft waist, but it was not good to continue this topic.

Jia Heng pretended he didn't hear it, and didn't go any further. Instead, he changed the subject and asked, "Tomorrow, I'll search Xiaoluyuan to see if I can find the silver hidden in the cellar. By the way, I want to buy a manor. Would you like to buy a manor?" Do you have any good locations to recommend?"

Jin Yang smiled, and joked: "Why, Dudu Jia wants to buy manors and mansions, and the golden house hides the beauty?"

"How can there be a golden house hiding a beauty? It's just waiting for the hot weather to take you to escape the heat or something. In a few months, summer will be here." Jia Heng said in a low voice.

When Princess Jinyang heard the words, she smiled softly, put her hand down, pretending to be surprised and said: "Originally, I want to be with this palace."

Although he knew that these words were mostly coaxing himself, but a sweetness inevitably surged in his heart.

Princess Jinyang Yurong Yanran said softly: "I have several villas in Xishan, which are idle, and I will let Lianxue tell you the location later."

"I'd better buy one myself, and always use yours. There is one..."

There is a feeling of eating soft rice, and eating soft rice hard.

"Well, it's quite particular? It's just using the golden house in the palace to hide the beauty, maybe it's even more... not necessarily?" Princess Jinyang said, teasing Jia Heng.

Jia Heng's complexion was strange, his heart skipped a beat, he let the beauty catch the monster lightly, and said in a low voice: "Li'er."

Secretly, maybe what is more?

Are you still hiding the attribute of hiding the wardrobe?

"What are you hiding? I just want to try it out. Why do you love this so much? You looked like a child just now." Princess Jinyang said shyly, her face suddenly turned bright red, and she whispered, "No wonder what you said If you have it, you will be born, that's the original idea."

Jia Heng's face turned dark, it was all about nothing.

He wasn't good at that at all.

Jia Heng said: "Okay, don't talk about these things, let's talk about business, your manor, in a few days I want to take a few clan girls out for a walk, go for an outing, fly a kite or something."

"You and Bengong haven't gone out for a walk, and you're flying a kite." Jinyang suddenly said quietly.

Jia Heng's face darkened, and said: "Don't imitate others, it's like..."

He thinks that Princess Jinyang did it on purpose, and he can only say that she understands taste too much. A pot of old wine is full-bodied and fragrant.

Speaking of which, the two have not been together for a long time, but whether it is the mind or the body, the compatibility seems to be extremely compatible. On the contrary, just like the man and woman who were passionately in love in the previous life, they gradually deepened their intimacy in getting along day after day.

Jia Heng said softly: "Then you should go there too, just in time to entertain my sisters."

"I want to go for a walk alone with you, and bring those little girls to get in the way." The Grand Duke Jinyang said softly, then paused in his thoughts, and said softly: "However, you are right, and It’s time for your sisters in your family to meet me.”

Jia Heng's face paused when he heard the words, it was difficult to answer these words, he always felt that there was something in the words, hidden murderous intentions.

To see the sisters, or to see Keqing?

Jia Heng changed the subject and said: "Okay, if we don't wait until tomorrow to search King Zhongshun's garden in Xishan, it will be more convenient for the two of us to walk around."

"Then it's settled." Li Ren said softly, gently pulling Jia Heng's hand, intertwining her fingers and touching her palms.

The two of them chatted side by side, unaware that time was passing by so fast.

"Ziyu, aren't you going back today?" Princess Jinyang buried her hot cheeks in her heart, and drew circles on her heart with her slender fingers. At this moment, the beauty's soft and charming voice became lost again.

These days, she is hungry and full, especially not even warm for a little longer. Every time there is no one beside the bed, she feels that she is... secretly hooking up with a married man Hu Meizi.

Jia Heng stroked the beauty's fragrant shoulders, the touch was as smooth as cream, delicate and delicate, and said in a gentle voice: "It's so late, it's not easy to go back, I will spend more time with you today."

The eldest princess of Jinyang said "um", even the tone of voice was raised, and her mood seemed to be much brighter.

Jia Heng's face paused, and his mood was a little complicated. As time went by, he was not sure whether Li'er would ask to go through the door.

After all, people have always been eager to push their feet and look forward to Shu.

And Keqing, at this time, she should be playing dominoes and mahjong at home, right?

"Tomorrow, it seems that Chen Rong is going to be exiled to Gongling, will you go?" Princess Jinyang raised her pretty face and asked softly: "Do you still remember that Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian were exiled, Chen Rong and others Are you still here?"

Jia Heng thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "It's not good to send it, otherwise, it will not be good after all if it falls into the eyes of the Holy One."

"You are still calling the Holy One?" Princess Jinyang smiled lightly.

Jia Heng asked in surprise: "Didn't you say that it's not good to call the emperor again?"

Princess Jinyang's Yurong paused slightly, her cherry lips twitched, but she swallowed back the joke "You can also call him Emperor Father" that came to her lips.

"Then call the emperor brother, but it's fine to call in private." The eldest princess of Jinyang smiled lightly, her beautiful eyes were uncertain.

Secretly thought, since Brother Huang asked Xianning to lead him to heal his wounds, he presumably intended to betroth Xianning to him, which was also in line with Brother Huang's temperament, but in this way...

He sighed faintly in his heart, Brother Huang now has both his younger sister and daughter involved, which can be regarded as compensation.

"If Xianning passes through the door, I..."

When Princess Jinyang thought of this, her charming and beautiful eyes were a little sad.

She probably couldn't get her way.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that deep down in my heart I feel a little bit unwilling, otherwise I wouldn't "trick" him.

Jia Heng felt something in his heart, and said softly: "Li'er, what are you thinking?"

Looking at the suddenly gloomy beauty, he had some vague guesses.

What can make Jinyang sad is mostly his status, because he no longer needs to be sneaky.

"I didn't think about anything, I just thought, if I am pregnant with your child, what will the imperial brother think of you?" Princess Jinyang smiled lightly with her beautiful eyes.

Jia Heng was startled, and was about to speak.

At this moment, Lianxue's voice from outside interrupted the two of them, saying: "Your Highness, the hot water and the bathtub are ready."

"I don't really want to move, you go wash up first." Princess Jinyang said lazily, her voice was sweet and soft, soft and greasy to the bone.

Jia Heng said softly: "Then I'll hold you, don't wash it, and it won't be comfortable to fall asleep later."

The beauty raised her head, with joy in Yuemeixing's eyes, she said softly, "That's good."

As Jia Heng spoke, he got up, put on his underwear, picked up a soft silk blanket to cover Princess Jinyang, and said, "To save you from catching a cold."

The princess of Jinyang stared at the young man with soft and beautiful eyes, feeling the thoughtfulness in the movements, sweetness surged in her heart for a moment, she nodded, and suddenly asked: "Wait a minute, you have taken a bath, do you want to go?" Have a look at Yuanchun?"

"Why are you still talking?" Jia Heng frowned.

Princess Jinyang said in embarrassment: "I am worried for you, you obviously have intentions, and she also has intentions, how about..."

Jia Heng turned a deaf ear to it, so she hugged the eldest princess of Jinyang and came to the screen to hide it. With the sound of "crash, la la", the two of them entered the bathtub and started to wash.

In the tub, it was steaming hot, and the aroma of flower petals and spices permeated the air.

Princess Jinyang hugged Jia Heng from behind, leaned her head on Jia Heng's shoulder, looked down at the birthmark on Jia Heng's vest, her mood was somewhat complicated.

At this moment, Jia Heng seemed to feel the completely different plumpness behind her. In comparison, Qingwen was still a little too thin.

After taking a bath, Princess Jinyang changed into a plain-colored plum dress, and the brocade quilt and sheets on the bed had already been removed by Lianxue, and they were replaced with brand new bedding and sheets, and incense was lit.

Princess Jinyang was carried into the bed by Jia Heng, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she said softly: "I'm a little tired too, so I won't be tossing around with you anymore, you should also go and see your eldest sister, she is probably sad, I feel that she may have become suspicious recently."

Jia Heng asked in surprise, "What doubts do you have?"

"You and I are almost like a husband and wife. You often come here at noon. There must be traces of our words and deeds. She has been in the mansion and stared at you from time to time. How can she not be suspicious?" Princess Jinyang said softly. Then, he said: "If she asks, you can tell her about you and me. Anyway, when she comes over, there will be such a day."

Just now, when this man was serving her, she felt that something was wrong, so she glanced casually through the mirror of the dressing table, and coincidentally, she found a familiar figure in a light yellow dress hiding in the window, she was almost startled at first. call out.

So, knowing that it was Yuan Chun, I took out those words to test him, and let Yuan Chun listen to him by the way.

Yuan Chun, well, she can only help her so far.

She also wants to see, how does this person deal with this relationship?

Wisdom sword cuts the thread of love, or disregards the world, and flies to the flame?

In the end, she can say that you are not of the same race, and I don't know if the two of you were relieved that day, or were you bored?

Ok?

What is she thinking?What is tasteless?

For beauties, this is probably a mentality of eating melons and watching dramas, and this is much more interesting than the stories about gifted scholars and beauties that I have seen before.

Jia Heng pondered for a while, but it was hard to say, Yuan Chun had already known about it, and had already made love with him, he hesitated for a moment, and said: "It's almost time now, big sister may be asleep, but I'll go and have a look." OK, I will accompany you later."

In fact, he also wanted to visit Yuanchun, it was always peeping, and it was not a problem.

"Well, let's go." Princess Jinyang said with a chuckle.

Jia Heng put on a green shirt and straight gown, tied a belt, turned around and tucked in the quilt for Princess Jinyang, and said: "I'll be back later."

With that said, he got up and went to the courtyard where Yuanchun lived.

　Push the old book "Xianchao Jiyuan", and readers who are more anxious can read it.
