Chapter 1451 Jinyang: Isn’t that the same as me?

Palace Garden, Funing Palace

In winter, a charcoal brazier is lit in the hall, and the blazing fire dispels the coldness in the room.

Imperial Concubine Duanrong had a plump face and a slender figure. At this moment, she was sitting on a soft couch, chatting with Princess Xianning, Li Chanyue and Song Yan.

Li Chanyue and Song Yan each picked up a child and were playing with the flower ropes. The two children were Queen Song's daughter Chen Qianqian and son Chen Luo.

At this moment, a maid outside the palace came in quickly, walked towards Concubine Duanrong, and reported: "Your Majesty, Prince Wei is here."

Princess Xianning raised her beautiful eyebrows with a look of surprise, and said happily, "Mother, the master is here."

After a short while, the young man in the python robe was seen walking into the warm room in the palace, led by a eunuch.

"Greetings, Her Majesty." Jia Heng walked closer and bowed respectfully to Her Majesty Duanrong.

Concubine Duanrong smiled and said, "Zi Yu, get up."

The son-in-law in front of her was once a duke, but now he is a prince.

Jia Heng thanked her softly, then walked closer, looked at Chen Qianqian who was not far away, and said with a smile: "Qianqian is here too."

This is also my daughter. She is such a cute baby.

Qianqian raised her delicate face that looked like a porcelain doll and called out, "Brother."

Jia Heng was very upset, but he didn't bother to correct the address. He smiled and said, "Qianqian, let me hug you."

This is my own daughter, she looks like a porcelain doll.

Princess Xianning's beautiful and clear face was filled with a smile, and her voice was very charming as she said, "Qianqian is so naughty."

Chen Luo turned his head, his eyes were like black grapes.

Jia Heng picked up Qianqian and smelled the milky scent of the baby.

Perhaps because they shared the same blood, Qianqian soon got over the strangeness between her and Jia Heng. She put her soft little hands around Jia Heng's neck, kissed his cheek, and said sweetly, "Brother, kiss."

Jia Heng felt helpless when faced with the intimacy of his own daughter.

Then she held Qianqian in her arms and sat down on the embroidered cushion.

Princess Xianning smiled and said jokingly, "Qianqian, you should call me brother-in-law."

Qianqian snorted softly, obviously not knowing how to call out.

Concubine Duanrong smiled slightly on her beautiful face and asked, "Zi Yu, you're not at home? How come you have time to come here?"

Jia Heng nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I have some matters that require me to go to the palace to see the emperor, and I am also here to see Xianning."

Then, Jia Heng looked gently at Princess Xianning, whose belly was bulging like a ball, and said softly, "Xianning, are you all right recently?"

Princess Xianning's eyebrows were curved, her eyes were as bright as water, and she said, "It's quite good."

Jia Heng said, "There are a lot of things going on in the mansion right now."

Then, Jia Heng looked at Li Chanyue and Song Yan standing beside him.

"Chanyue, let's go back to Princess Jinyang's mansion later." Jia Heng looked at Li Chanyue and said.

Obviously, I can't express my feelings after separation in the palace, so I can only go back to Princess Jinyang's mansion and talk about it.

Li Chanyue responded softly, her eyes full of stars and moonlight almost shining like rainbows, and said, "Brother Heng."

Concubine Duanrong said, "Xianning has been taking care of her pregnancy recently and cannot move around. She is feeling quite depressed. You should come over more often to accompany her."

Jia Heng was silent for a moment, then said, "It's inconvenient to go in and out of the harem, so I can't come here too often."

It was not yet time for him to enter and leave the palace at will, because although the real owner of this palace was blind, his heart was not blind.

Hearing this, Concubine Duanrong nodded and said, "That's right. It's not appropriate for Xianning to leave the palace at this time. You can just go to the palace to see her once every three to five days."

Jia Heng responded softly with a yes.

Imperial Concubine Duanrong smiled, looked at the two children, and said, "You young people, have a chat. Qianqian, Luo'er, follow your aunt."

As he spoke, he called a few maids to take the two children away.

"Brother, I'm leaving." Qianqian turned around and said in a reluctant voice.

Chen Luo, who was standing aside, looked at the young man in the python robe with his eyes rolling, with a hint of delight in his eyes.

Jia Heng smiled, stretched out his hand to pinch Qianqian's cheek, and said, "Qianqian, go ahead."

After Concubine Duanrong left, Jia Heng came to Princess Xianning and sat down. He held the beautiful woman's soft and tender hand and asked, "Xianning, has the child still kicked you these two days?"

"Kicking." Princess Xianning had beautiful eyebrows and charming eyes, with a look full of sweetness and happiness.

Jia Heng's eyes were as warm as the sun rising in winter. He gently put his arm around the beautiful woman's shoulders and said, "You should stay in the palace and take good care of your pregnancy. I will come to see you more often in the next few days."

Princess Xianning's clear eyes sparkled under her beautiful eyebrows, and her face was full of joy. She said, "Sir, we haven't decided what to name the child yet."

Jia Heng chuckled and said, "We don't know whether it's a boy or a girl, and we don't know what to name it."

Xianning had been in love with him since the 15th year of Chongping, which is four or five years ago. The girl who was bright, graceful and cool back then has now become a wife, and her eyes are full of mature and attractive charm.

Princess Xianning smiled brightly under her curved eyebrows and beautiful eyes. She said softly, "We don't need it now. We just prepared it in advance."

Jia Heng smiled and said, "Then I'll think about it in the next two days."

Princess Xianning leaned her head against Jia Heng's chest, her beautiful face full of joy, and asked softly, "Sir, will it hurt when you give birth?"

Jia Heng showed an unnatural look on his face and said, "You can't ask me about this. I don't know either."

Princess Xianning frowned, bit her pink lips with her pearly teeth, and said, "I'm afraid that one day my aunt will..."

Jia Heng said: "It's different. Your aunt was older at that time, and you were young, so it wouldn't be that dangerous."

Princess Xianning said "hmm" and asked, "What do you mean?"

Jia Heng took Princess Xianning's delicate hand, a warm smile appeared on his face, and said, "Let me listen to the child."

As he spoke, he squatted down, moved close to the beautiful woman's bulging belly, and listened with his ear tilted, as if he could feel the movements in her belly.

Princess Xianning stared at the young man in the python robe, and there seemed to be a hint of sweetness and joy in her clear and sparkling eyes.

Jia Heng slowly stood up, looked at Princess Xianning, and said softly, "This baby should be a boy."

Princess Xianning sighed and said, "I hope so."

Jia Heng's expression paused slightly, and he gently stroked Princess Xianning's rosy and chubby face. Then, he moved closer to those two pink lips and held them tightly in his mouth, wantonly snatching away the sweet scent.

I don't know how long it was, but I felt an unbridled breath invading me, making Princess Xianning's beautiful face turn red and her heart began to beat fast.

Although she has been married to Jia Heng for many years, Princess Xianning still has the mentality of a little girl, and she has not yet changed her mind.

Immediately, Princess Xianning raised her beautiful head, her narrow, clear eyes filled with endless affection, and said, "Sir, let's go inside and talk."

Jia Heng nodded and said, "You are pregnant, don't talk about that for now."

Princess Xianning's voice was almost a whisper at this moment, with a haunting longing: "I miss you, sir."

Upon hearing this, Jia Heng's face turned strange. He supported Princess Xianning towards a warm room with carved railings and sat down on a soft couch.

Jia Heng said softly, "You are pregnant, don't make a fuss about it, just sit here."

Xianning hasn't changed much and remains the same.

Princess Xianning snorted softly, then her slender hands, as nimble as a butterfly, reached into her clothes, and immediately, her delicate head with a bun of green clouds lowered down.

……

……

In this way, Jia Heng and Princess Xianning were infatuated with each other for a while.

Jia Heng did not stay in the Funing Palace for long. He, Li Chanyue and Song Yan rode in a carriage covered with curtains and left the palace.

Inside the carriage, from a small sandalwood incense burner with three legs and six ears, you can see wisps of fragrance curling up, refreshing your heart.

Li Chanyue leaned her beautiful head with long black hair on Jia Heng's shoulder. Her eyes were like stars flowing under her two slender and beautiful eyebrows. She said in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "Brother Heng, I want a child too."

Jia Heng held Chanyue's slender hand, felt the girl's delicate skin, stared at the girl's frosty face, chuckled, and said, "Chanyue, you are still young, it's not good to have a child too early."

Li Chanyue's beautiful face was red as she blushed, and she whispered, "Brother Heng."

Jia Heng turned his head to look at Song Yan who was standing beside him, and said, "Cousin Yan'er, don't be in a hurry."

Song Yan's fair face, which resembled Queen Song, flushed slightly. She responded softly, and her curved and dense eyelashes trembled.

When did she say she wanted a child? She was not in a hurry.

Jia Heng said, "Oh, there is one more thing I need to tell Yan'er."

Song Yan raised her delicate head with long black hair, and there seemed to be some curiosity in her bright eyes under her beautiful eyebrows.

Jia Heng said, "The prince can have four concubines. In the next few days, the clan office will register the golden book and jade spy. Yan'er will return to Ningguo Mansion at that time."

Song Yan looked at the young man with deep affection, and endless expectations surged in her heart. She said, "Brother Heng, what do you want to be listed in the Golden Book for?"

Jia Heng smiled and said, "Concubine."

Li Chanyue blinked her eyes, which were full of stars and moonlight, and said, "Sir, what about me?"

Jia Heng smiled, pinched Chanyue's rosy cheeks, and said, "You are already a princess, which is equivalent to a concubine."

Among the royal families of the Han Dynasty, princesses and princes were of the same rank, because this was easy to understand, as they were all children of the emperor.

A princess of a county is equal to a prince of a county, because the legitimate or illegitimate son of a prince is a prince of a county, and the daughter of a princess of the same rank as a prince is a princess of a county.

As Jia Heng spoke, he reached out and gently embraced Li Chanyue, then took Song Yan's slender hand beside him.

A horse-drawn carriage with a high shaft rumbled forward, rolling over the bluestone-paved street toward the Princess Jinyang's mansion.

It was already noon, and the sunlight was shining on the houses on both sides. There were few pedestrians on the street, and their shouts could be heard from time to time.

Princess Jinyang's residence, backyard, attic -

Princess Jinyang was wearing a scarlet peony dress and had her hair in a beautiful bun. At the moment, she and Lianxue were teasing their beloved son Jia Jie. There was a bright and beautiful smile on her face.

The little guy is already two or three years old, and has already shown some handsomeness.

After all, he inherited the genes of such handsome men and beautiful women as Princess Jinyang and Jia Heng.

"Your Highness, Prince Wei is here." Just then, a maid entered the hall and said with an expression that could not conceal her joy.

Princess Jinyang raised her eyebrows, and a look of joy and brightness appeared on her beautiful face. She then pinched Jia Jie's cheek in her arms and said, "Jie'er, Daddy is back."

While they were talking, a tall young man in a python robe came quickly from outside with two little girls.

"Zi Yu, you're here." Princess Jinyang called softly, with a look of infatuation in her bright and sparkling eyes beneath her beautiful black eyebrows.

Jia Heng nodded and said, "Jinyang."

At this moment, Jia Jie turned his eyes to look at the young man in the python costume, and said in a soft and joyful voice: "Daddy~"

Children of this age are still able to remember things and know that Jia Heng is their father.

Jia Heng smiled and said, "Jie'er."

As he spoke, he came forward, picked up his eldest son, came forward, stretched out his hand and pinched the boy's pink face, and said, "The festival is heavy again."

Princess Jinyang smiled widely and said, "I'm one year older. Not only have I gained weight, but I've also grown taller."

While Jia Heng was talking, he walked over to the embroidered cushion in front of him and sat down. Under his sword-like eyebrows, his eyes were as warm as the rising sun in winter, and he said, "Jinyang, it's been a long time since we last met."

Princess Jinyang's beautiful eyes, beneath her willow-shaped eyebrows, seemed to be filled with thoughts of missing someone. She said, "Yes, it's been half a year in a flash."

Jia Heng said, "After this battle, there shouldn't be any more wars on the border, so I can spend more time with you and Jie'er."

Princess Jinyang's beautiful eyes, which were filled with thoughts, showed a hint of sarcasm under her beautiful eyebrows. She said, "It doesn't matter if I accompany you or not."

Jia Heng was speechless for a moment.

Princess Jinyang smiled and said, "Your elder sister is about to give birth."

Jia Heng nodded and said, "I remember, it should be next year."

He remembered that Yuanchun became pregnant after he came back from Korea last time, so it was only a few months in total.

Princess Jinyang turned around and instructed Lianxue, "Lianxue, carry Jie'er to the backyard."

Lianxue responded softly, then took Jia Jie from Jia Heng's arms. When her slender hand touched the young man's palm, the girl's heart moved slightly, and a light blush appeared on her pretty face.

"Mom, I want to play with Dad." Jia Jie stretched out his little hands and called.

Jia Heng raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I will talk to your mother for a while, and then I will come to you later."

Daddy wants to play with your mother and doesn’t have time to play with you now.

After Lianxue took the little guy away, Jia Heng, Princess Jinyang, Li Chanyue and Song Yan were the only ones left in the attic.

Jia Heng sat nearby, gently reached out and took Princess Jinyang's slender hand, and said softly: "Jinyang, long time no see."

Princess Jinyang's eyes were shy, and she said coquettishly, "Chanyue, Yan'er is still here."

Jia Heng turned his eyes to the young princess and said, "Chanyue, please step aside."

Li Chanyue: “???”

Does she still need to be avoided? Do you think she is an eyesore?

Princess Jinyang did not insist at this moment, and whispered: "A lot of things happened when you were away from the capital. The affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have now been handed over to Yan'er's father for disposal."

Because Emperor Chongping already knew that Princess Jinyang and Jia Heng had a child, Princess Jinyang simply gave up the affairs of the Imperial Household Department.

Under Li Chanyue's beautiful eyebrows, her eyes, which were as bright as the stars and the moon, seemed to be twinkling with stars and rainbows as she looked quietly at the young man in the python robe.

Jia Heng was silent for a moment, then said, "They are also a family."

Song Jing is indeed his father-in-law and not an outsider.

Princess Jinyang stared at Song Yan, changed the subject, and said, "After Yan'er married you, you led your troops to Liaodong without returning home, and you haven't returned yet."

Jia Heng said, "Let's go over and take a look in the next two days."

Not only Song Yan, but also the former Japanese Emperor Xingzi has to go and see.

After coming back, checking in everywhere undoubtedly consumed a lot of energy. In another month or two, it will be the Spring Festival of Chongping in the 20th year.

Song Yan's face, as white as snow, was filled with joy.

At the beginning, after winning the battle, Brother Heng left in a hurry.

Princess Jinyang thought for a moment, her charming eyes looked at the two of them quietly, and said, "Chanyue, you and Yan'er go back and rest first. I'll call you after dinner."

"Yes." Li Chanyue stood up from the brocade-covered embroidered cushion and bowed to Princess Jinyang together with Song Yan. Then, she took Song Yan's hand and walked towards the courtyard.

Wait for the two of them to leave at this time.

Princess Jinyang turned to look at the young man in the python robe, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she asked, "Did you enter the palace today?"

Jia Heng nodded and said, "Go and plead for Qu and Liu from the Jinyi Mansion."

Princess Jinyang's beautiful eyes narrowed as she said, "I heard from Xiahou that after the bombing of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, the two were thrown into the Imperial Prison for the crime of negligence."

Jia Heng nodded and said, "Yes, today I will ask to be relieved of my title as the Jinyi Commander and beg for mercy for the two of them."

Princess Jinyang's face was filled with worry, and she asked in a low voice, "What did my brother say?"

Jia Heng sighed and said, "My royal brother, please show some leniency, but you can escape the death penalty, but you can't escape the punishment of life. You two should be expelled from the Jinyi Mansion."

"Where is the Jinyi Commander?" asked Princess Jinyang.

"I didn't get this one." Jia Heng embraced the beautiful woman's plump and graceful body, as if he was hugging a gorgeous peony flower. When he smelled the refreshing fragrance, there was a look of joy on his face.

Princess Jinyang's plump, fair face had turned red at some point, and she said, "Isn't that the same as mine?"

Jia Heng: "..."

Princess Jinyang paused for a moment, snorted, and said, "I will remain at the service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for now, and I will not interfere in the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs any more."

Jia Heng looked at Princess Jinyang warmly and asked, "Jinyang, is it because of Jie'er?"

Princess Jinyang rolled her eyes at the young man in the python robe, her beautiful eyes full of charm, and she said softly, "What do you think?"

Jia Heng looked disappointed, sighed softly, and said, "This is the mind of an emperor."

Princess Jinyang's eyebrows were as dark as spring mountains, and her eyes looked thoughtful. She said, "It's not a bad idea to retreat bravely from the current."

Jia Heng was silent for a moment, then said quietly, "I am afraid that the tree wants to be still but the wind will not stop."

Princess Jinyang said: "It is not impossible, but what can we do?"

You can't just start a rebellion. Not to mention anything else, the people all over the world will definitely criticize you.

This is the power of people’s support.

Moral support from many, scant support.

There is one thing that cannot be ignored, that is, Emperor Chongping treated Jia Heng with great favor. If Jia Heng started a rebellion, he would not be popular with the people.

Jia Heng was silent for a moment, and then said, "Let's just stay dormant for now. I have been very busy these past few years, so I'll take this opportunity to rest for a while."

As he spoke, Jia Heng gently put his arm around the beautiful lady's shoulders, looked at her graceful and gorgeous face, and said softly, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's have some food together first."

The beauty responded softly, then leaned her beautiful head with long black hair in Jia Heng's arms. Then she felt the young man's hot breath rushing towards her, and immediately, their lips met.

The beauty placed her two slender hands on Jia Heng's shoulders, and her snow-white face seemed to be slightly flushed.

Suddenly, their lips parted.

Princess Jinyang's beautiful eyes were full of charm, and she said, "I thought you despised me because I'm old and ugly."

Jia Heng: "..."

"When did you become old and ugly?" Jia Heng ignored the question and asked in surprise.

Princess Jinyang's cheeks blushed, she snorted and said, "I am already over thirty this year."

Jia Heng reached into her clothes, changing the shape of her breasts with his palms, revealing her fullness, and whispered, "It's the perfect time for flowers to bloom."

Young men in their twenties who are full of vigor and vitality like this kind of mature women. Of course, when they are older, they may start to like young girls again.

Jia Heng embraced Princess Jinyang's plump and delicate body, walked towards the inner room, and said, "Okay, let's rest first."

As he spoke, he went to the inner room blocked by the screen. The curtains on the bed were tied up with golden hooks.

Jia Heng sat on a soft couch, his sword-like brows gazing at the beauty with eyes as sharp as dewdrops, his heart filled with longing.

Jinyang has really reached the age of being as fierce as a wolf or a tiger.

Princess Jinyang squatted down and looked up at the young man in the python robe. Her delicate hands felt hot and she said in a trembling voice, "Xianning will give birth in a few months."

Jia Heng nodded and said, "There are still a few months."

Princess Jinyang slightly lowered her delicate head with long black hair, and her beautiful face seemed to be covered with a layer of rosy red, looking white and rosy, bright and charming.

Jia Heng raised his sword-like eyebrows, lowered his eyes and looked at Princess Jinyang, his voice trembling a little, and said: "You have been looking after the children in the mansion during this period. It's hard work."

Princess Jinyang's beautiful face blushed, her beautiful eyes sparkled with tenderness, and she said, "It's not that hard."

Jia Heng nodded, then looked intently at the beautiful woman with a rosy face and charming eyes, feeling a little emotional in his heart.

Jinyang is still as beautiful and charming as it was in the past.
