Chapter 1390 Jia Heng: I’m patting the watermelon to see if it’s ripe…
Grand View Garden, Cuicui Temple
The lights are bright, as bright as day.
At this moment, Jia Heng stared at Miaoyu, who seemed to want to say something but hesitated, just like Kong Yiji who was unable to take off his long gown.
Miaoyu, who used to talk all the time and said that even a thousand-year-old iron threshold would only make her a steamed bun, has now become worldly and started to talk about status.
Of course, as a mother is strong, it is understandable to ask such questions.
Miaoyu seemed to be disturbed by Jia Heng's smile, or perhaps the two of them had already had a deep understanding of each other.
Miaoyu's frosty face showed a trace of embarrassment, and she said softly: "I'm not doing this for Momo. I don't usually care about this kind of status. It's just that in the eyes of outsiders, Momo is an illegitimate child after all."
Jia Heng said, "Then after I conquer Liaodong and am crowned a prince, I will ask for you to be crowned a royal lady, and the child will have a legitimate status in the future."
The prince has four concubines, but there is no limit on the number of wives he can have.
At this moment, Miaoyu heard the young man speaking in a low voice, and responded with a "hmm", and then a sweet feeling surged in her heart.
Jia Heng looked at Miaoyu with a warm gaze, and said with a smile: "Miaoyu, let me listen to the child to see if he kicked you."
Miaoyu's face, as white as jade, gradually showed a hint of blush. Then, just as she was about to say something, she saw the young man leaning close to her belly, as if listening to the movement of the baby, similar to the scene when she was pregnant for the first time.
Miaoyu didn't know why, but her snow-white face suddenly turned red with shame, and she said, "You are very skilled at this."
Jia Heng raised his head, looked at the beautiful woman who was as cold as jade, and said, "Yes, last time I was in Longcui Temple, I heard the movements of my Momo."
When Miaoyu heard this, she felt extremely sweet in her heart, but she did not continue to put pressure on him.
In fact, Li Ren was more often bickering with Jia Heng, as if she was reliving or reluctant to let go of the time when they were in love.
But the young man said this and gently patted his bulging belly with his hand.
Miaoyu was suddenly overwhelmed with shame and anger, and finally seemed to be unable to bear it any longer, so she asked, "What are you taking pictures of right now?"
"I'm tapping the watermelon to see if it's ripe." Jia Heng said with a smile.
Miaoyu's plump and bright face flushed red when she heard this, and she said angrily, "How can you say that about your own wife and children?"
Jia Heng said, "This is not because I am good at tending the seedlings."
He stood up, hugged the beautiful woman's slender shoulders, smiled, pinched her plump and rosy face, and said, "Miaoyu, stay at home and take good care of your pregnancy."
Miaoyu responded softly, and a hint of sweetness gradually appeared under her slender brows and in her bright eyes.
"I'll have lunch here at noon." Jia Heng pulled Miaoyu's slender hand, then looked at the little guy in Xing Xiuyan's arms, with some inexplicable meaning in his eyes.
At this moment, Xing Xiuyan was also holding the child in her arms and said softly, "Momo is hungry now."
"Mom, eat my breast." Momo called Miaoyu softly, her voice soft and cute.
Jia Heng looked at his delicate daughter, frowned and said, "She's already so old, and she's still not weaned."
Miaoyu rolled her eyes at the boy and thought to herself, "How old are you? You're still breastfeeding, and you're still talking about your daughter."
Momo snorted when she heard this, wrinkled her nose, and said softly, "Bad daddy."
Jia Heng said, "If I don't let this girl drink milk, will my father be bad?"
Miaoyu's plump face showed a hint of shame on both sides. She said, "Sometimes, when Momo and I sleep together, I eat secretly."
My daughter is really like him, she is quite obsessed with those things.
Jia Heng nodded, and with a smile on his face, he looked at Miaoyu from behind his sword-like eyebrows, and said softly, "It's time to wean her. If she keeps breastfeeding, she won't grow tall. Why not give her some egg custard?"
Miaoyu said softly, "I thought so too. The kitchen will prepare some egg custard in the next few days."
Jia Heng nodded, looked at Xing Xiuyan, and said, "Take Momo and go outside to talk."
At this moment, while Xing Xiuyan was talking, she also took Momo away. For a moment, only Jia Heng and Miaoyu were left in the room, and the couple looked at each other.
Jia Heng looked intently at Miaoyu from under his sword-like brows, then leaned forward to kiss the beautiful woman's soft lips gently. For a moment, a cool scent of milk and sandalwood floated over.
Among all the women in the back house, he actually likes to be intimate with Miaoyu the most, because Miaoyu's coldness yet a bit of indulgence always gives people a sense of purity and lust, a sense of a saint sinking.
After a while, Jia Heng hugged Miaoyu's shoulders, stared at the beautiful woman with blushing cheeks and charming eyes, and said in a gentle voice: "Miaoyu, you have worked hard to take care of the pregnancy during this period."
The couple is feeling like a new marriage after a short separation.
Miaoyu lost her fierceness and said softly, "It's not as hard as you fighting outside, going through life and death."
Jia Heng nodded, called out, and said, "Xiu Yan, go and bring Momo over."
When Xing Xiuyan heard Jia Heng calling her, she took Momo back soon.
Otherwise, when the couple was being affectionate, she would wait with the child in her arms.
Jia Heng looked at Xing Xiuyan and said softly, "Xiuyan, in a few days, Song Yan, who was granted marriage by the palace, will marry me. Then, you can also marry here."
Xing Xiuyan's eyes, which seemed to be like peaks emerging from the clouds, were covered with a hint of shyness and timidity. She said, "I'll let my aunt decide on this."
Miaoyu said, "Your aunt will probably listen to your elder brother Heng."
Jia Heng: "..."
Don't say this nonsense.
Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at Xing Xiuyan and said, "In the next few days, let's go through the etiquette process and set an auspicious date."
Although she was a concubine, Xing Xiuyan's non-competitive and calm temperament made him particularly moved. Perhaps every man has a dream of marrying a literary and talented woman.
Compared to Miaoyu, a woman who uses her beauty to commit crimes and has a stubborn temperament, Xiuyan may be more gentle and intellectual.
Then, everyone slowly sat down, gathered around a lacquered wooden table, and started to eat.
After lunch, it was already afternoon. The bright spring sunlight shone through the carved hollow windows into the Longcui Temple, and the sunlight shone quietly.
However, Xing Xiuyan took her daughter and left Longcui Temple, heading into the distance.
Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at Miaoyu and said softly, "Spring sleep is late, Miaoyu, I feel a little sleepy now, why don't we take a rest first?"
Miaoyu raised her eyes and glared at the young man in the python robe. For a moment, she seemed a little embarrassed and annoyed, and said angrily: "I'm still pregnant, and you treat me like this?"
Now that she has given birth to a child, she feels that her appearance is not as good as when she was young. She didn't expect this man to be so impatient in broad daylight.
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Hasn't this happened before?"
As he said this, he embraced Miaoyu and went inside.
At this moment, Miaoyu's shy and angry voice rang out from the bed with curtains drawn all around: "Be careful, don't hurt the child."
Jia Heng said: "Don't worry, a good son will be born under the stick."
Miaoyu: "???"
What are you talking about? This person is really...
However, she has been eating sour food recently, so it should be a boy.
At this moment, he gently hugged Miaoyu, felt her soft skin, smelled her rich aroma, secretly recalled the key points of Subject 2 in his previous life, and parked the car parallelly.
A jug of muddy wine meets together.
Well, Miaoyu is still as delicious as always.
After an unknown amount of time, Jia Heng gently embraced Miaoyu's plump and delicate body, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "How is it?"
Miaoyu was immersed in the joy of reunion at the moment. Her face was blushing like clouds, bright and beautiful. She snorted and said, "Aren't you afraid of hurting the child?"
Jia Heng said: "I'm being careful."
I thought to myself, I don't know who was shaking just now, making my heart waver.
……
……
By evening, the sky was filled with sunset glow, as bright as brocade clouds, and a few swallows flew towards the sky.
After staying in Longcui Temple for a while, Jia Heng did not stay for long. Instead, he went to the study room first. When he looked up and saw the beauty, he was stunned and asked in surprise: "Xiaoxiao, you are here?"
Chen Xiao looked at the young man intently under her beautiful eyebrows and said, "I went to Jinyi Mansion today and asked about the situation in the capital."
After taking a look at the young man who was obviously refreshed and had a rosy face, for some reason, a ridiculous thought suddenly arose in my mind.
Is it true that male lions are responsible for reproduction while female lions go out hunting? Is she the lioness who goes out hunting?
Jia Heng sat down, reached out to pick up the teapot on the lacquered wooden table, took the teacup and poured a cup, then asked softly, "Xiaoxiao, how is the training and personnel situation in the Beijing camp in the past six months?"
After he left Shenjing City, it was unknown whether Li Zan, the chief minister of the cabinet, took the opportunity to make major adjustments to the Beijing camp.
Chen Xiao put down the atlas in his hand, looked at the young man in the python robe, and said softly: "After you left, everything in the Beijing Camp was normal. They were all training the troops according to the training outline you had previously established. However, because King Wei Chen Ran served as the marching chief, many low- and middle-ranking officers in the Beijing Camp gathered around King Wei."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Not surprising."
Chen Xiao looked concerned, sat down, and asked, "How are you going to deploy the troops this time?"
Jia Heng handed over the teacup in his hand and said softly, "The troops from the Guoyong Battalion will be the main force, and some troops from the other twelve regiments will be transferred. About 150,000 troops will be transferred."
Chen Xiao's bright eyes twinkled under her beautiful eyebrows, and she asked softly, "Mobilizing so many troops at once?"
"This is a war to annihilate a country. How can we take it lightly? Not only the Beijing camp, but also several border towns will have to mobilize about 100,000 elite troops to sweep Liaodong." Under Jia Heng's sword-like eyebrows, the clear eyes were as sharp as swords.
"Once so many troops are withdrawn, the defense of the capital will be left empty and changes may occur easily." Chen Xiao's tone was filled with worry.
Jia Heng nodded and said softly, "The Beijing camp still has 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers and horses. Together with the soldiers and horses from the prefectures and counties in Guanzhong and the soldiers and horses from Taiyuan in Shanxi, they are enough to protect the capital city as safe as a rock."
Jia Heng thought for a moment, then looked at Chen Xiao intently, and said thoughtfully: "What do you mean? Are you worried..."
Chen Xiao said: "You are fighting a national war this time, and there will definitely be conspiracy undercurrents in the city of Shenjing."
Under Jia Heng's sword-like eyebrows, a hint of amusement appeared in his bright eyes, and he said loudly: "But we can lure the snake out of its hole and fish out these villains."
Chen Xiao said softly: "That's a way."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "This time we must deploy troops without any mistakes. However, the Jurchens may have contacted the Dzungars and Khoshuts in the northwest. Before that, we need to send a letter to Jin Xuan and Pang Shili in the northwest to remind them to pay attention to the smoke signals in the northwest."
Chen Xiao asked: "That's good, Senior Sister may be able to help you find out the news from Chen Yuan."
As she spoke, the lioness feeling in her heart grew stronger.
Jia Heng said coldly: "I can guess what Chen Yuan can do now without asking. Now he can only plot something."
Chen Xiao paused for a moment and asked, "What are your plans for the near future?"
Jia Heng came to the window and stood still. Under his sharp eyebrows, a hint of deep thought appeared in his cold eyes. He said, "Let someone keep an eye on Chen Yuan first."
Chen Xiao's cold and bright face gradually showed a thoughtful look, and said: "Then only Senior Sister can keep an eye on him."
Jia Heng turned around, looked at Chen Xiao intently, and said, "When I'm not at home, you should go to the palace more often to pay your respects to the Empress Dowager and the Empress."
Chen Xiao nodded.
Jia Heng looked at Chen Xiao intently from under his sword-like eyebrows, and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. I'm going to Xiaoxiang Pavilion now."
Chen Xiao glared at the young man in the python costume, raised his eyebrows, and said unhappily: "Go quickly, don't forget to go to Daoxiang Village."
Everyone in the backyard has to walk through it, and no one will be happy if they miss someone.
Jia Heng then left the study without saying much, walked quickly along a long and winding corridor, passed through the Yuelian Gate, and headed towards Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
At this moment, dusk is approaching, the lights are on, and the spring breeze blows the Xiangfei bamboos around the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and the rustling sound of branches and leaves is endless.
Inside the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, bits of orange light shone through in the cold night, bringing a touch of warmth in the warm spring breeze.
Seeing the lights, Jia Heng thought to himself, it seems that Daiyu is in Xiaoxiang Pavilion now, so Baochai should not be here?
It feels a bit regretful that Daiyu and Baochai cannot be together. Or, should I wait until I arrive at Xiaoxiang Pavilion and then call Baochai over?
As he spoke, he walked quickly along the long and empty corridor, and the spring breeze blew the hair hanging on his ears.
At this moment, Daiyu was sitting on a lacquered wooden table by the window. Her green smoke-vine skirt outlined her graceful curves on a mahogany bookcase behind her.
Daiyu was holding a goat-hair calligraphy pen in her hand and writing something. The girl looked focused and her face was blushing.
Suddenly, Xiren's voice was heard from outside, saying, "Master Heng, you are here."
When Daiyu heard this, the brush in her hand trembled. Under the light, the paper was clearly stained. She placed the brush lightly on the pen holder.
Under Daiyu's eyebrows that were as curled and stretched out like willow leaves, her pair of clear and bright eyes were as bright as rainbows as she looked at the young man in the python robe.
Brother Heng really came, and he came to look for her first.
In fact, Daiyu just forgot that the last time Jia Heng came back from Japan, he went to Hengwu Garden first.
At this moment, Jia Heng entered Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Daiyu's residence. It was furnished with tables, chairs and furniture. Under the light, the windows were bright and clean. There seemed to be ice flakes and incense burning in the animal-head incense burner, and there were wisps of fragrance curling up, giving people a calming and pleasant atmosphere.
"How come Brother Heng has time to come to my Xiaoxiang Pavilion?" Under Daiyu's two curved eyebrows, her bright starry eyes were filled with longing.
Before Jia Heng left, he had just married Baochai and Daiyu, and they were in their sweetest moments.
However, Jia Heng led his troops to Liaodong and Korea and stayed there for more than half a year.
Jia Heng nodded and said softly, "Come and see Sister Lin. Besides, Sister Lin is my legally married wife, so it's normal for me to come here."
Daiyu's face, with its willow-shaped eyebrows and star-like eyes, immediately blushed as she said, "Brother Heng also knows that I was married in a formal ceremony."
Jia Heng: "..."
Even after Lin Duidui married him, her mouth was still as sharp as a knife.
Jia Heng cast a funny look on the beautiful face of the Crimson Pearl Fairy Grass and asked, "Then I'll go to Hengwu Garden?"
While speaking, he pretended to leave, as if he was about to run away.
Daiyu was so anxious when she saw this that she blurted out, "How dare you!"
Really, it’s always like this. Can’t you just give her some room?
She has been with him since she was a child.
Jia Heng turned around and looked at the angry Crimson Pearl Immortal Grass with a warm smile. He walked slowly a few steps, approached her, and said softly, "Sister Lin, are you going to stop being so petty?"
Daiyu snorted, turned her head away, and said, "Who is being petty? You are clearly teasing me."
Jia Heng nodded and suddenly ordered, "Xiren, go to Hengwu Garden and call Miss Xue over."
Daiyu: "???"
So, you still can’t live without Sister Bao, right?
No, she would make a fool of herself in front of Sister Bao again.
Seeing the stunned look on the girl's face, Jia Heng gently held Daiyu's smooth and tender chin, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, and said, "You are so thin and weak, you probably won't be able to hold on later."
Daiyu wanted to open her mouth to refute, but she remembered that it was true in the past. However, the girl still did not spare Jia Heng. She snorted and said, "I still have Sister Zijuan to help me in my room."
Zijuan was not far away, listening to the couple's bickering, and a hint of an aunt's smile appeared on her plump face.
However, at this moment, when she suddenly saw the young man mention her, Zijuan's rosy face suddenly turned red with embarrassment. She quickly lowered her head and looked shyly at her put-toe feet.
How could she help the girl? And let the old man bully her?
Jia Heng glanced at Zijuan and said nothing. Instead, he took Daiyu's white, soft and slender hand, went to the side room and sat down, and asked, "Sister Lin, have you missed me during this time at home?"
Daiyu shook her head, her eyes covered with shame and anger, and said angrily: "I am having a good time with my sisters, I don't miss you at all."
Jia Heng said softly: "What should I do if I miss Sister Lin?"
In fact, Daiyu was still in the state of a girl in love, flirting with him, almost the same as when she was in the boudoir.
Xiren responded softly, then walked away quickly, but her face was still a little hot and red.
The old man always does this, bullying Miss Bao and the girls from their family together.
At this moment, Jia Heng held Daiyu's slender hand, moved close to her soft and slightly pink lips, and kissed them for a moment, and he felt a soft and slight breath coming.
Daiyu's snow-white face suddenly blushed like a rosy cloud. Her two slender hands gently climbed over Jia Heng's shoulders and she quickly responded.
After all, the two have been together for a long time, and Daiyu is no longer the ignorant person she was at the beginning.
After a while, Daiyu's bright starry eyes were like the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, like gauze and fog, as if permeated with the long-lasting love for mountains and rivers.
Jia Heng nodded and said gently, "Sister Lin."
Daiyu leaned her beautiful head with long hair into the young man's arms. The Immortal Grass of the Crimson Pearl was obviously moved by her true feelings and murmured, "My longing for you has become a disease that cannot be cured. Hmm..."
Before she could finish her words, Jia Heng had already moved closer and kissed those two soft pink lips, robbing her of her soft breath.
After a while, Zijuan's voice came from outside, and she said with some joy: "Miss, Miss Bao is here."
Although she has already married, she is still called by the same name as when she was in the boudoir.
"Let me go, someone is coming." Daiyu pushed Jia Heng's shoulder away, her cheeks blushing like red apples, and a hint of panic seemed to appear in her misty starry eyes.
Jia Heng gently let go of Daiyu and looked in the direction of the voice.
Daiyu whispered, "Sister Bao is here."
Jia Heng nodded and said softly, "It's not the first time I've seen it."
Both of them were honest with each other.
Daiyu's willow-shaped eyebrows and star-like eyes sparkled, and she snorted softly, saying, "I'm not as shameless as you."
At this moment, a beautiful woman with skin as white as snow and smooth skin came walking towards him. Her face, which looked like a pear blossom, gradually showed a bright smile. She called out, "Brother Heng, Sister Lin."
Catching the rosy glow on Daiyu's bright face, at this moment, he understood a little bit in his heart that the two of them were probably still being intimate just now.
Jia Heng said, "Sister Xue, come here."
In fact, he asked Baochai to come over because he also wanted to accomplish the task in one go. Otherwise, running here and there would obviously be inappropriate.
Baochai nodded to Jia Heng, walked over quickly, looked at Daiyu with a smile, and said, "Sister Lin has just finished her meal, right?"
Daiyu's eyes sparkled like stars under her eyebrows that seemed to be curled and relaxed. She pursed her soft lips and said softly, "I have eaten."
Jia Heng came forward, took Baochai's slender hand, looked at the beautiful girl, and said, "Sister Xue, if you are hungry, shall we eat something together?"
Baochai:"……"
Let her eat more and gain weight quickly. It feels nice to touch the chubby part, right?
But it would be better to let her have a child.
Because Jia Heng had said similar things before, and he couldn't let go of his plump body, so Baochai could "deduce" some reasons.
Jia Heng said, "Sister Xue, come and sit over here."
Baochai nodded, responded softly, and then sat down on a stool not far away.
