Chapter 1033 Jia Heng: If you want to blacken and become stronger, there is no way...

Chu Palace

Concubine Liu took a look at Zhen Lan, then took the hands of Zhen Lan and Zhen Xi, and exchanged greetings in a low voice. She glanced at the young man in green shirt with her hidden eyes, and a hint of surprise appeared on her gentle and gentle eyebrows.

In fact, this was the first time Concubine Liu saw Jia Heng, the young Duke who had become famous in the past three years, and Jia Ziyu who was also sighed by the King of Chu.

Being watched by Concubine Liu, Jia Heng felt something in his heart, under Liu Ye's slender eyebrows, he nodded gently, without saying much.

Compared with Zhen Qing's seductive, seductive and even slightly mean face, Concubine Liu's white and snowy oval face is as gentle as water, bright and beautiful. It has the charm of a mature woman.

It's just the hidden resentment in the corners of the brows and eyes.

Mostly because they have been together for many years and have no heirs.

Jia Heng thought to himself.

The King of Chu and Jia Heng exchanged pleasantries. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the atmosphere at the table gradually became full of wine.

Chu Wang Chen Qin looked at the young man eagerly, and said with emotion: "Ziyu, this time Qinghai and Mongolia are disrupting the northwest, and the emperor does not use Ziyu to go out. To be honest, I really can't figure it out."

Jia Heng put down the wine cup, his eyes were calm, and he said: "Your Majesty also has His Majesty's considerations. The most important thing about Jiangnan is not under the Northwest. The New Deal, the customs collection of taxes, are all major matters involving the imperial court's financial use."

If he dared to use this to complain, he would be offended by the king of Chu, and he would be on the king's boat after a long time.

Chu King Chen Qin frowned, looked at the young man with burning eyes, and said, "But I am worried about one thing. If Nan'an and others go to the northwest, if they suffer defeat like Jin Xiaoyu, how should we deal with it? At that time It is not necessary to use Ziyu, now things are prioritized, it is not wrong for Ziyu to lead the army to the northwest."

Jia Heng raised the wine cup, motioned to the King of Chu, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the outcome of the war is still uncertain. It is too early to say these things. It is uncertain whether the King of Nan'an's battle will be successful or not."

The two touched a glass and immediately drank it down.

At this moment, Concubine Liu picked up the jug beside her and poured wine for King Chu.

Zhen Lan also took the flagon and poured wine for Jia Heng, but looked at the young man with a pair of narrow and long phoenix eyes.

And Zhen Xi was sitting on the side, like a lady of every family, a little cramped, and from time to time cast a pair of clear eyes with aura like streams at the young man.

Hmm, obviously a little naive.

The King of Chu pondered for a moment, then sighed and said: "Gu is not easy to let go, after all, the Prince of Nan'an is nearly half a hundred years old, whether it is general strategy or martial courage, he is much worse than Ziyu."

Jia Heng pondered for a moment, then said: "The northwest frontier army plus the Beijing camp has 20 soldiers and horses. If we fight steadily, we won't have too many problems to compete with Qinghai Mongolia and others."

Zhen Lan looked at the young man, the clear eyes under the willow-leaf eyebrows flickered, her jade face was thoughtful.

The King of Chu held up the wine cup and said, "But it's not as safe as Ziyu's army. Ziyu even won the Jurchen, and the Qinghai Mongolia is even easier to deal with. It's a pity that some people in the court are jealous of their talents."

Jia Heng smiled and said: "My lord is too famous. The Qiang and Hufan people in Qinghai, Mongolia and other places are complicated. It is not a day or two to figure out the Northwest."

The King of Chu said: "Ziyu is old enough to seek the country. Although I don't know how to use soldiers, I also know the truth that arrogant soldiers must be defeated. I look at the prince of Nan'an and Liu Fang and others, and they seem to think about the troubles in the northwest. It's too simple."

"Soldiers, important matters of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival, must be observed." Jia Heng paused slightly, nodded, and said loudly: "Prince Yue Tuo of Jurchen, this person is very resourceful, and there is such a person in the northwest , things are much more complicated.”

Concubine Liu saw that the young man didn't want to say much, but her lord was a bit out of character, she quickly picked up the wine cup, interrupted Jia Heng with a sweet smile, and said, "Your lord, let's eat first."

The King of Chu smiled and said, "Okay, it won't be too late to talk about it later."

Hey, this is Ziyu's first visit to the house, so he is inevitably happy.

Jia Heng picked up the chopsticks and began to eat with the King of Chu, and asked softly: "The prince said that he is going to Jiangnan as well. I don't know when we will leave?"

He was not counting how many days he and Zhen Qing could be obsessed with each other.

The King of Chu smiled and said, "I think it will take a month or so to stay in Beijing. Ziyu will take the first step. I have already written a letter to the princess. I will let Ziyu send it to me later."

Jia Heng nodded.

He really wasn't interested in King Chu's family letter.

"Ziyu, I've been pondering that this strategy of opening up the sea is really a great way to open up financial resources." The king of Chu looked at the young man with admiration, and said with emotion, "I have been in charge of government for many years. In the past few years, there were continuous disasters in the north, and the household department was still stretched. In the past two years, with the investigation of corruption, coupled with the rectification of the salt industry, and the opening of the sea, the treasury has gradually become richer. Looking at the treasury in the past two or three years Change, learn from the power of Yin Yu."

This person in front of him is really a master of literature and martial arts, a great talent in economics and state affairs, if he is honored as a great treasure, he will definitely use Ziyu again.

Jia Heng paused, and said: "My lord is too famous. After all, it's all about contributing to the community. If the Holy One didn't intend to cheer me up, even if I have a good plan, it will be useless."

The King of Chu chuckled and said softly, "That's true."

When he said this, he had already expressed his admiration very clearly. I think Ziyu already knew his admiration, but it was just inconvenient to reveal it.

At this moment, Zhen Lan stared at the young man in green shirt who was talking so eloquently, clearly frustrated by his calm demeanor.

Brother Heng is almost a favorite now, not only the King of Chu, but even the King of Wei have actively shown their favor to Brother Heng.

But what is Brother Heng thinking in his heart?

Jia Heng chatted with the King of Chu one after another, and unconsciously it was the time of Haichu.

The king of Chu was obviously a little drunk, his cheeks were flushed, and he was a little drunk when he spoke. He took Jia Heng's arm and said through his drunkenness: "Ziyu, we will be good friends in the family from now on. After the princess has a child, Recognize Ziyu as foster father."

Jia Heng: "..."

Biological father becomes adoptive father?King Chu really has you.

Jia Heng suppressed the weirdness in his heart, and said quickly: "My lord is joking, how can the nobles of Tianhuang recognize other people as godfathers?

Holding the wine cup in his hand, the King of Chu chuckled and said, "Etiquette is not violated. Isn't it logical that Ji Fa recognizes Jiang Taigong as Yafu? Ziyu has the talent for music, and Sun Wu's ability."

In fact, this is already a hint to some extent.

Concubine Liu was timid, she was terrified when she heard it from the sidelines, her blushing red jade face looked strange, she took King Chu's arm, and said in an unnatural tone: "My lord, you are drunk, let's go and have a rest first."

"I'm not drunk." The King of Chu waved his hand, squinted his sleepy eyes, and said softly, "I'm going to marry Ziyu as a family."

Jia Heng turned to look at the pretty Concubine Liu, and said, "Concubine Liu, Your Highness has drunk too much, please help His Highness to rest in the Nuan Pavilion."

Concubine Liu nodded and responded lightly, then took King Chu's arm and walked towards the inner room.

Here, Zhen Lan watched this scene and shook her head secretly.

This King of Chu was not as regal as her lover.

Jia Heng and Concubine Liu supported the King of Chu and walked towards the Nuan Pavilion, their noses moved. At this moment, they didn't know that it was the smell of wine and the faint fragrance floating on the King of Chu's body.

Jia Heng supported King Chu to lie down, looked up at the beauty who was supporting her lower body, and said in a warm voice: "My lord, my lord has had too much wine, my lord, let's get some sour plum soup."

Hmm, this scene is vaguely familiar?

Forget it, I have made up my mind before, so I can't think about it.

Concubine Liu raised her gentle and beautiful face, looked at the young man with flickering eyes, and said softly, "I'll order someone to get it."

Jia Heng looked at the young man leaning on the bamboo couch, under the glowing lights, his gloomy face softened a little, but at a glance, he had a heroic and resolute face.

Jia Heng settled down, left the warm pavilion, and returned to the hall.

Concubine Liu looked at the young man in the green shirt, and said softly: "Duke Wei, the prince is too strong to drink, he drank a little too much, if there is a slip of the tongue, I hope Duke Wei will not take it to heart."

Jia Heng looked at Miaoxiu's beautiful woman with bookish eyes, and said, "Princess, you're welcome. It's good for you to send her here. Let's go back and take care of the prince."

Concubine Liu nodded her head, Yurong calmed down a bit, and said softly, "Then Duke Wei, go slowly."

With that said, he turned around and hurried back to the Nuan Pavilion to take care of the King of Chu.

Obviously this beauty cares about King Chu very much.

When Jia Heng turned around, he met Zhen Lan's curious eyes and said with a smile, "It's all right, let's go home."

When Zhen Lan heard Jia Heng's words, her heart was shocked.

Let's go home...she belonged to her wife.

"What are you in a daze for? Let's go." After Jia Heng said this, he gently took the girl's slender hand and Zhen Xi with the other, and said, "Okay, let's go."

Zhen Xi's pink face was as red as a rosy cloud, her childish brows and eyes were covered with a layer of shyness, and she said softly, "Brother Heng."

Jia Heng didn't say much, and took Zhen Xi and Zhen Lan into the carriage outside the residence.

As the carriage turned and turned, the lanterns hanging on both sides of the street gradually receded, shining on the bluestone road, casting a circle of light and shadow of different sizes.

In the carriage, Jia Heng sat in the middle, with Zhen Lan on the left and Zhen Xi on the right. The two girls leaned their heads on Jia Heng's shoulders.

Jia Heng reached out to wrap Zhen Lan's fragrant shoulders, and said softly, "Sister Lan, just say what you want."

Zhen Lan frowned, blinked her bright eyes, and asked, "Is King Chu trying to win over Brother Heng?"

Jia Heng gently pinched the girl's cheek, and said, "It's almost like this."

"What about Brother Heng? Do you think the King of Chu is worthy of a great position?" Zhen Lan asked softly, staring into Jia Heng's eyes with shining eyes.

"Sister Lan asked that question." Jia Heng smiled lightly, and said, "Who is worthy of the big job, the palace has the final say, and others don't count."

Zhen Lan's bright eyes flickered, and she leaned her head against Jia Heng's arms, adjusted a comfortable position to snuggle up, and said softly, "That's right, brother Heng has a lot of troops in his hands, so it's really not easy to intervene in this matter casually."

Jia Heng said: "Let's go to the south of the Yangtze River first, wipe out the pirates first, and then talk about these things later."

"Well, that's the important thing." Zhen Lan held Jia Heng's hand tightly, her mind moving slightly.

Zhen Xi suddenly looked gloomy, and said softly: "Brother Heng, that Concubine Liu doesn't seem to like Third Sister very much."

Jia Heng: "..."

He really observed carefully, he didn't even notice it just now, because when talking to the King of Chu, he couldn't always stare at Concubine Liu.

Otherwise, what if King Chu made a mistake?Or... leave one for the King of Chu.

Jia Heng thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's because you have been bullied too much by your elder sister, and I don't know if I hate Wu Wu."

There is one thing to say, Zhen Qing is very vicious, Concubine Liu has been in the family for many years, and she has no children so far, this matter is probably the work of Zhen Qing.

Otherwise, it is impossible for everyone to be infertile and wait for him to rejuvenate.

Zhen Lan gently took Jia Heng's hand, raised her beautiful face, her bright eyes twinkled, and said in a low voice, "Brother Heng is Ai Wu Ji Wu."

It is said that her appearance is somewhat similar to that of the elder sister. Brother Heng loves her because of the elder sister, right?

Then she really became a stand-in for the big sister.

Jia Heng put his hand into the lapel, lightly made a snowman, looked down at the girl, and said, "In my eyes, Zhen Lan is Zhen Lan."

Zhen Lan has already begun to explore.

And Wan Wanleiqing... Did you pay by mistake after all?If you want to blacken and become stronger, there is no way.

When Zhen Lan heard the words, her sweet heart was hit by joy, her soft and delicate body trembled slightly, her crystal clear eyes sparkled, and she said infatuatedly, "Brother Heng."

Jia Heng pinched the girl's face lightly, and the tender and fragrant muscles overflowed from the fingertips, and said, "I know that the one I like is Sister Lan."

"Brother Heng." Zhen Lan said softly, stretched out her two arms to wrap around the boy's neck, slightly closed her bright eyes with curved eyelashes, and moved her lips closer.

Jia Heng also gently stroked the girl's shaved shoulders, and moved closer.

Well, this posture of actively asking for a kiss is almost the same as when Mopan shouted "love me", but of course this is absolutely unacceptable.

Zhen Xi saw the scene where the two of you were fighting each other, her cheeks were as beautiful as snow, her cheeks were as blushing as clouds, and the handkerchiefs in her hands were mingled together.

Third Sister and Brother Heng are really inseparable, hugging each other again while talking.

At this moment, I suddenly felt that my hand was pulled, and the young man pulled her past, and then moved closer to his cheek, and kissed him.

"Brother Heng, uh~" Zhen Xi was about to say something, but was blocked in the second half of the sentence.

Just like that, the carriage turned and slowly stopped in front of Rongning Street.

Ningguo Mansion

Jia Heng sent the two sisters Zhen Lan and Zhen Xi back to the Qichi Courtyard, and didn't stay any longer. After thinking about it, she went to look for Xiaoxiao.

Xiaoxiao's residence is not in any of the buildings in the Grand View Garden, but in a cross courtyard of the study room in the Ningguo residence. At this moment, the courtyard is brightly lit, two figures are reflected on the casement, and their voices are faintly heard.

It was Chen Xiao and Li Chanyue who were talking.

Li Chanyue took a pair of black stockings, her pretty face flushed with shame, and said softly, "Sister Xiao, you can wear these socks."

Chen Ling frowned, put down the book in her hand, looked up at Li Chanyue, and asked in surprise, "Sister Chanyue, what is this?"

Li Chanyue said: "Sister Xianning sent someone to deliver it today, she said it was for you to wear."

Chen Xiao took the socks and stretched them out, a faint blush appeared on her pretty face, she kneaded the black hip-covering one-piece socks with meshes into a ball, seeing anger in her clear eyes, and said, "What are these?" , nondescript."

When she doesn't know how to use it?After wearing the feet, um, why is there a big hole in the middle?

After being stunned for a moment, she immediately understood that no matter how hard Chen Ling could hold it back, his cheeks turned red, as if he had been electrocuted.

Li Chanyue lowered her eyebrows, blushed with embarrassment, and said timidly, "Sister Xianning even gave me a pair of white socks."

Chen Xiao: "..."

I was speechless for a while.

It's definitely Xianning who brought him into trouble, otherwise she wouldn't have been allowed to prepare a chivalrous woman's attire, which one came out and which one?

Li Chanyue's cheeks were as red as drunk, like the petals of a peach blossom in February, and said shamelessly, "Sister Xiao, the black night clothes you are wearing today, Mr. Jia asked you to wear them, right?"

Mr. Jia always makes her and cousin Xianning wear all kinds of clothes.

Chen Xiaofang's heart skipped a beat, she denied it and said, "I have something to do later in the evening, and I have to go out."

At this moment, in the shining bronze mirror, a young girl in night clothes suddenly appeared, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, and a trace of naturalness appeared on her beautiful jade face.

Under Li Chanyue's curved willow-leaf eyebrows, Zang Xingyunyue's eyes saw seriousness, looked at Chen Xiao's expression, and said, "When Sister Xiao is telling lies, her left eye will look down."

Chen Xiao became angry and said, "Who lied?"

After a while, I heard familiar footsteps coming from outside and asked, "Is Xiaoxiao in the house?"

Li Chanyue was overjoyed, and said softly, "Mr. Xiao Jia is back."

Even though the girl and Jia Heng were already married and had been together for a long time, she still couldn't help calling Jia Heng "Little Mr. Jia", and it was obviously difficult to change her words in a short time.

Jia Heng looked at Li Chanyue and said softly, "Chanyue, didn't you go play with Sister Lin?"

"I won't go to Xiaoxiang Pavilion today." Li Chanyue said softly.

Mr. Xiao Jia is also true. She came here to accompany him, not to accompany Sister Lin.

Jia Heng looked at the slim girl, took the little princess's plain hand, hugged her in his arms, and said, "Did Mrs. Chanyue miss me?"

Being surrounded by the waist from behind by the young man, Li Chanyue blushed and said softly: "I didn't think about it."

Jia Heng said: "Chanyue, let's sleep with your cousin today."

Li Chanyue gave a "huh" sound like a mosquito.

Chen Xiao looked serious, and asked with concern: "You are going to the King of Chu, what do you say?"

Jia Heng looked at the girl in night clothes, his heart moved slightly, and said, "Go to the inner room and talk."

With that said, Chen Xiao couldn't help but say more, and pulled the girl's slender catkin to the inner compartment.

Xiaoxiao's living room is more simply furnished, but there are also wardrobes and dressing tables.

Chen Xiao frowned and said, "You take a bath later, you smell of alcohol."

Jia Heng sat down and explained: "The King of Chu said a few words for me, but he didn't say anything else. He asked me to send a letter to Princess Chu."

Chen Xiao snorted coldly, a sneer appeared in her clear eyes, and said, "This is really what you wanted."

Jia Heng took the girl's slender hand and said, "Chanyue is still there."

Li Chanyue: "???"

Is there anything I can't hear?This little Mr. Jia...

Chen Xiao sneered: "You also know that you are embarrassed."

"Look at what you said, it's not like you didn't know it back then, it's really not my fault." Jia Heng said.

At the beginning, he wanted to break off contact with Zhen Qing, but Mopan had to rely on him, and he was easily killed.

"You really want to help her realize her ambition?" Chen Xiao's eyes flickered, and she lowered her voice.

Jia Heng said: "Let's talk about it."

He didn't want to be Lu Buwei, whose father's love is boundless. If he really got to the point where he polluted the blood of the Tian family, he might as well be himself.

From the heart, he doesn't care who is in the position.

Even if King Qi ascends the throne, the worst he can do is like what Liu Chengyou did to Guo Wei. Of course, he will not end up in the situation where Guo Wei's family was killed.

Better not push him!

Going to the south of the Yangtze River this time is to pull up a navy that is independent of the Beijing camp and become the foundation of standing.

The Beijing Camp is under the eyes of the emperor and the officials, and many things are inconvenient. For example, the Beijing Camp really can no longer place people.

Li Chanyue picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea, brought it over, and said, "Mr. Jia...husband, drink some tea to moisten your throat."

Jia Heng took the teacup, took a sip, looked at the girl with the charm of Yamato Nadeko, and said, "Chanyue is really getting better and better as a wife and mother."

A slight blush appeared on Li Chanyue's beautiful face, and she said softly, "Mr. Jia."

Chen Xiaodao: "You go to the Chu Palace to have a banquet tonight, presumably this matter has already reached the ears of King Wei and King Qi, even in the palace."

Jia Heng said: "This effect was originally wanted."

Chen Xiao's eyes flickered, and he said, "That's right, King Wei's side is too close."

Jia Heng suddenly asked in surprise: "Xiaoxiao, what are you holding in your hand?"

Only then did Chen Xiao wake up, and hid the black socks in her hands behind her back, and said, "It's nothing."

Li Chanyue turned her pink face and said softly: "Husband, these are the socks that cousin Xianning gave to sister Xiao."

Jia Heng asked: "Well, is Xianning here today?"

"Cousin Xianning came to see Sister Qin this morning, and when she met me, she told me to let you go over tomorrow." Li Chanyue said softly.

Princess Xianning is in the Princess Mansion, so it is not easy to come to spend the night.

Jia Heng said: "I haven't seen you for a day...I'll go there tomorrow, and discuss about going to Jiangnan by the way."

Xianning was even more attached to him. If he wasn't worried about Keqing's wild thoughts, Xianning would probably live in Ningguo Mansion. Of course, as time passed, it would be a matter of time after the two got to know each other better.

As Jia Heng said, he looked at Chen Xiao with a squeamish expression, and urged, "Xiaoxiao, put your socks on."

Chen Xiao said shyly, "I can't spoil you."

Jia Heng said: "It's up to you to wear it or not, anyway, it may not be as good-looking as Xianning."

Chen Xiao: "???"

In order to achieve his desire for lust, this man resorted to all kinds of methods.

Jia Heng gently caressed the slender skirt under the hem, leaned close to Li Chanyue's ear, and whispered: "Chanyue, what are you wearing inside?"

"Socks made of silk, Mr. Jia, wait a moment... let me dance for you." Li Chanyue said timidly, her cheeks flushed like a glow.

Jia Heng said: "Well, there is a new dance?"

Seeing the two rubbing each other's ears and temples as if there was no one there, Chen Ling frowned slightly, blushed, snorted angrily, pulled Jia Heng's arm, and said in embarrassment: "You smell of alcohol, go take a bath first."

Xianning's legs are not as long as hers, and she simply put them on once, which also made this man know his way back.

Jia Heng kissed Li Chanyue's cheek, and said: "Then I'll take a bath, Chanyue is waiting for me."

After a while, the maid scooped up hot water in the tub, and Jia Heng went to the tub to take a bath, thinking about the increasingly confusing court situation.

After he was made a Duke, his size gradually couldn't be hidden, and if he didn't want to get involved in some dangerous things, he would inevitably get involved.

I don't know how empress Song would feel if she knew that he went to the banquet of the King of Chu today?

Don't go to the doctor in a hurry, right?

 I can't write the second one, don't wait, I want to explain the plot of Jiangnan by the way.
