Chapter 1671: Concubine Liu: Like a canary, trapped in a cage...
Palace Garden, Kunning Palace
It was early spring, and the weather was still chilly. The biting cold wind blew the eaves of the palace, making a humming sound. On the corridor outside the palace, the eunuchs and palace maids who came and went all had their hands in their pockets.
There was a ground dragon burning in the hall, and one could see hot steam rising from all directions, spreading in all directions.
Queen Song was wearing a scarlet dress and had a beautiful bun on her head. She sat on a soft couch on the west side of the warm room behind the glass window. Her snow-white face was covered with a bright red blush on both sides, making her look graceful and beautiful.
"Your Majesty, Prince Wei is here." At this moment, a female official quickly entered the hall and whispered to Queen Song.
At this moment, Queen Song's snow-white face flushed, her pink lips slightly parted, and she said in a gentle voice, "Announce."
After a while, a tall and heroic young man in a python robe walked into the hall.
"Your humble servant greets the queen." Jia Heng was silent for a moment, then spoke in a low voice with a fierce look in his eyes under his sword-like eyebrows.
Queen Song stared at the young man in the python robe with her beautiful eyes, and said, "Prince Wei, please stand up."
Then, the beauty waved her slender hand, dismissed the female officials serving around, looked up and down at the young man in the python robe, and asked, "Why did you want to come to see me today?"
Jia Heng said, "It's not the Lantern Festival that has just passed, and you're here to see the queen. What are you doing right now?"
As he spoke, he walked closer and took Empress Song's slender hand.
Queen Song gently pushed away the hand of the young man in the python robe and said unhappily, "What can I do? I am just accompanying Luo'er and watching the fireworks."
While Jia Heng was talking, he walked closer and sat down beside Queen Song. He took the beautiful lady's slender hand and said, "Madam, why do you say that?"
Empress Song's face was filled with shame and anger, and she said, "I and Luo'er will be spending the Lantern Festival alone in the palace, and I won't be able to see you."
Jia Heng stretched out his hand to embrace one of Queen Song's shoulders, and then, without saying much, he moved closer to the beauty's slightly pink lips, kissed them, and captured the beauty's sweet scent.
Queen Song hummed, her eyelashes drooped slightly, and her two slender hands gently wrapped around Jia Heng's neck, enjoying the intimacy and closeness of the young man in the python robe.
After a while, Jia Heng asked, "How is Luo'er doing recently?"
Queen Song said, "He has been doing very well recently."
Jia Heng thought for a moment and said, "Luo'er is not young anymore. When you and I are together, we should avoid him. We can't let him live in Kunning Palace anymore."
The child is grown up, and if he sees him being intimate with a sweet girl, I'm afraid his worldview will collapse.
Queen Song nodded and said, "I have asked someone to prepare a warm room in Jingren Palace, west of Hanyuan Palace. From now on, Luo'er will live there. She hasn't been to Kunning Palace recently."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "That's good."
As he spoke, he put his arm around Queen Song's plump and slender waist and walked towards the bed with curtains in the inner room.
After an unknown amount of time, Queen Song leaned her plump and soft body against Jia Heng's arms and asked in a sweet and piercing voice, "Why is there another public opinion storm in the capital recently?"
Jia Heng asked, "Did you hear everything in the palace?"
Queen Song snorted and said, "I heard a little bit of rumors. The government has just stabilized recently. Don't stir up trouble outside again."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal."
Queen Song hummed softly and said, "I can't control what happens in the court, but I just can't cause any more trouble."
"Don't worry." Jia Heng felt fullness and softness in his palms, and his mind drifted away for a moment.
Our current enemies are actually the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River and the nobles of the Chen and Han royal families. It will take some effort to suppress and intimidate them.
Afterwards, Jia Heng and Queen Song lingered for a while and did not linger in the palace for long. He put on his robe, walked along the palace path with high walls, and went to the back garden, intending to see Zhen Qing.
But he had not walked far when he was stunned.
But in the pavilion with curtains hanging on all four sides, a beautiful woman with dignified and quiet appearance was sitting on a stone bench, staring blankly.
The curvy figure was none other than Concubine Liu.
Princess Liu was wearing a plain dress with wide sleeves and her hair was combed into a beautiful bun. She was extremely beautiful. At this moment, she was sitting in a pavilion with double eaves, hooked corners, and vermilion beams and pillars, gazing at the calm lake with a melancholy feeling in her heart.
"Princess Liu." As Jia Heng spoke, he walked closer and spoke in a gentle voice.
Could it be that Concubine Liu still wants to jump into the lake?
Hearing the familiar voice coming from behind, Liu Fei suddenly turned her head with long black hair. Under the sunlight, her skin was whiter than snow and so radiant that it was beyond compare.
Concubine Liu dodged the gaze of the young man in the python robe and asked, "Prince Wei, why are you here?"
Jia Heng said, "I went to the palace to see the emperor, and then I passed by the back garden. What is Concubine Liu doing here?"
As they were talking, they came to the pavilion and sat down on a stone pier.
Seeing the young man in the python robe being so familiar, Liu Fei didn't know what she was thinking of. She lowered her eyebrows, bit her pink lips with her cherry teeth, and said, "I'm bored, just sitting here."
Ever since she was rescued from jumping into the lake that day, Concubine Liu has been hiding in the harem, staring at the lake in a daze with nothing to do.
Previously, some female officials were worried that Concubine Liu would become depressed again, but after a while, seeing that everything was back to normal, they were no longer worried.
Jia Heng looked at the beautiful woman who suddenly lowered her eyebrows shyly with warm eyes, and said, "It's windy here, Concubine Liu, please come to the palace to talk."
Liu Fei made a soft "hmm" sound. For some reason, under the gaze of the young man in the python robe, two blushes appeared on both sides of her white and jade-like face.
As the two were talking, they entered the hall one after the other.
Jia Heng took off the black cloak on his shoulders, then walked up to Concubine Liu and put it on her shoulders naturally, whispering, "It's cold, be careful not to catch a cold."
Liu Fei felt the man's thoughtfulness, as if struck by lightning, and an indescribable warmth surged in her heart.
Especially when the young man in python robe touched her shoulders with his hands, Liu Fei's heart trembled violently, and she was filled with shyness in her heart.
Jia Heng looked at Concubine Liu with warm eyes, at that pitiful face, at those slightly pink lips, and suddenly he had some thoughts in his heart.
Without saying anything else, he moved closer and took those two soft and slightly tender petals in his mouth.
Under Concubine Liu's dark green eyebrows, her crystal clear eyes widened slightly, as if she was a little bit unbelievable, and then, her slightly trembling eyelashes drooped gently.
However, Liu Fei was shocked, as it was clearly the young man in the python robe who was attacking her.
Jia Heng gently reached out and embraced Concubine Liu's delicate body. He felt the beautiful woman's body trembling constantly, and felt somewhat strange in his heart.
I didn't expect that Concubine Liu was so sensitive?
Concubine Liu's delicate face was clearly blushing like a rosy cloud, and she felt inexplicably ashamed and angry.
Jia Ziyu, what are you doing?
How could he be so frivolous to her?
Concubine Liu's face was as hot as fire. She breathed softly and whispered, "Prince Wei, you...how can you be so rude?"
Jia Heng leaned close to Concubine Liu's ear and said, "Doesn't Concubine Liu like it?"
Liu Fei screamed "Ah", and her gentle and lovely face turned red with shame, and it was clear that her own ears were swirling.
Jia Heng said, "Madam, let's go inside and talk."
As he spoke, he embraced Concubine Liu's shoulders and walked quickly to the inner room of the warm room.
Concubine Liu blushed, and for some reason, her brain twitched, and she said, "Prince Wei, you must not be rude. I am the widow of the late emperor."
Jia Heng: "..."
This Liu Fei is really good at adding buffs to herself.
Just as Liu Fei was about to say something, she suddenly felt an irresistible tingling sensation in front of her body, which made her heart tremble with inexplicable fear.
Immediately, when he lowered his eyes, he saw the young man in the python robe feasting in front of him, almost like a whirlwind.
Concubine Liu was inexplicably frightened, her face flushed like fire, and she felt an indescribable heat surging through her body, flowing to every part of her body.
Jia Heng gently put his arm around Concubine Liu's shoulders and placed her on the couch.
Concubine Liu's expression paused slightly, she snorted lightly, and did not respond.
After a while, the beauty was in a daze and was almost stripped like a sheep. Her beautiful eyes were slightly open as she looked at the young man in the python robe, her heart filled with shame and anger.
Jia Heng stared at that gentle and lovely face, feeling a little strange in his heart.
Are you really not going to leave any for the King of Chu?
As soon as Jia Heng had this thought, it was quickly suppressed.
Concubine Liu raised her delicate head with long black hair like a waterfall. Her beautiful, straight nose seemed to be moaning with pleasure. She put her hands gently around the waist of the young man in the python robe.
After a while, Jia Heng leaned close to Concubine Liu's ear and jokingly said, "Concubine Liu must be very lonely usually."
The so-called opening the door to welcome thieves is like wanting to keep them out but actually welcoming them.
Liu Fei only felt a "boom" in her mind, and suddenly, her delicate body became as soft as water. Feeling the intimacy of the young man in the python costume, Liu Fei felt an indescribable shame and anger in her heart.
In other words, such straightforward and passionate words made my heart palpitate inexplicably for a moment.
At this moment, outside the window you can hear the biting cold spring wind, whistling over the rugged rocks, making bursts of long or short whistles.
On the bed with curtains all around, Jia Heng hugged Concubine Liu tightly, looked at her beautiful face, and suddenly asked, "Concubine Liu, who is stronger, me or the late emperor?"
When Concubine Liu heard this, her heart was trembling, and her beautiful hair stuck to her cheeks with sweat. Her lips opened slightly, and her breath smelled like orchid, but she did not respond.
Concubine Liu felt extremely ashamed and angry, and wondered in her heart, what is Prince Wei talking about?
How can I ask myself and the late emperor...
Liu Fei only felt waves of fear coming over her, and she couldn't describe the feeling. It was unprecedented.
Jia Heng reached out his slender hands and gently embraced Concubine Liu's plump and delicate body. The fullness and softness flowed between his palms and fingers. He joked, "The queen seems to like it too."
Well, this Concubine Liu is quite interesting.
It seems that he is not as loyal to the King of Chu as imagined?
Thinking of this, I became more and more agitated.
Concubine Liu felt her whole body burning like fire, and lustful emotions silently overflowed from her eyebrows and eyes.
How could this King Wei be so...
Liu Fei couldn't describe how she felt. It was as if her dead heart had come back to life.
When the King of Chu was alive, although he was relatively fond of Concubine Liu, due to Zhen Qing's "legitimate wife gaze", after the novelty wore off, he spent more time seeking pleasure outside, and it can be said that he was quite neglected.
Liu Fei's extremely dry heart seemed to be nourished by rain and dew, and came back to life again.
Liu Fei closed her beautiful eyes slightly, feeling the reckless charge of the young man in the python robe. For some reason, she recalled the scene when she was in the boudoir, swinging on the swing in the back garden, basking in the bright sunlight.
It was unknown how long it had been, but Liu Fei's beautiful, sweaty face lay pressed against the arms of the young man in the python robe, her beautiful eyes slightly closed, as if immersed in the afterglow.
Jia Heng asked, "Why is the queen so unhappy in the palace?"
In his opinion, Concubine Liu probably just missed a man.
Concubine Liu's charming voice was filled with tenderness and softness as she said, "It's like a canary, trapped in a cage, unable to be free."
Jia Heng thought for a moment, held the beautiful lady's delicate hand, and said, "Last time, Lord Liu said that he missed the queen and wanted her to return home to visit her family. If the queen returns to the palace, she should be allowed to come in and out now."
When Zhen Qing was in the palace before, she was not so nice to Concubine Liu, but after Queen Song took over the harem, her attitude towards Concubine Liu was undoubtedly much better.
Concubine Liu's eyes were as soft and moist as water, and she said in a trembling voice, "Even if I go home, everything has changed. What else can I do?"
Jia Heng sighed and said, "Yes, without a child, it is inevitable that I feel lonely."
When Concubine Liu heard this, her crystal clear heart trembled. She bit her soft lips with her cherry teeth and said, "I should be childless in this life."
To be honest, it was all the fault of Zhen in the harem. If she hadn't been harmed in the past, she wouldn't have been childless.
While Jia Heng was speaking, he looked at Concubine Liu and said to her in comfort, "Let the imperial physician treat her. If she is well taken care of, she may have children in the future."
When Concubine Liu heard this, she was deeply shocked, and her pretty and charming face was as bright and beautiful as peach blossoms.
Will she be able to have children in the future?
Whose children will we have in the future?
At this moment, feeling the warm current still flowing, the beautiful woman secretly spat, if this goes on, she will only have his child.
Concubine Liu opened her beautiful eyes slightly, and suddenly looked at the young man, saying: "Prince Wei, what are we now...?"
Concubine Liu is essentially a traditional woman.
Jia Heng leaned close to the beautiful lady's ear and said with a smile, "What did the queen say?"
What else could it be? A lover, of course.
Liu Fei snorted softly, and her snow-white cheeks turned red with shame, but she did not respond immediately.
Jia Heng didn't say anything else. He hugged Concubine Liu's plump body, looked at her beautiful face, and said, "It's getting late. I'll go back first."
As he spoke, he stood up and put on the clothes that had been thrown everywhere.
At this moment, under Princess Liu's dark green eyebrows, her beautiful, crystal clear eyes were filled with reluctance to leave.
Jia Heng put on his long gown and robe and walked out of the hall quickly. It was already afternoon and the bright sunlight shone on the hall with pink walls and black tiles.
Jia Heng thought about it and did not leave the palace for the time being. Instead, he went to the palace where Zhen Qing lived.
He hasn't visited Zhen Qing since the Chinese New Year. He's afraid that Zhen Qing must be cursing him in her heart right now.
In the palace, in the warm room——
Zhen Qing was sitting on a bed covered with a mattress at this moment. Her beautiful face was without any makeup, and she looked a little haggard and bored.
At this moment, I am indeed muttering to myself that I hate someone.
This bastard has no conscience.
At this moment, a maid entered the palace and said to Zhen Qing, "My lady, the Prince of Wei is waiting outside the palace."
Zhen Qing was surprised and delighted when she heard this. She opened her red lips slightly and said, "Xuan."
As he was speaking, he saw the handsome and tall young man in python robes approaching quickly. When he came close, he said, "My Lady."
Zhen Qing said coldly: "You still remember to come and see me?"
While speaking, Zhen Qing winked at her personal female official, and then all the female officials in the hall left one after another.
For a moment, Jia Heng and Zhen Qing were the only ones left in the warm room of the palace, and the atmosphere was somewhat weird.
Jia Heng didn't say anything else. He walked closer, stretched out his hand and gently took Zhen Qing's slender hand, saying, "I'm thinking of you."
Just as Zhen Qing was about to speak, she suddenly smelled that familiar lewd scent. She was shocked and angry, and scolded, "Who did you fool around with just now?"
Why does this person like that old woman from the Song family so much? What's so good about that old woman?
Jia Heng gently reached out and held Zhen Qing's thin shoulders, saying, "Just now, it was with Concubine Liu."
Zhen Qing: "..."
This bastard, does he really have a grudge against Chen Qin? Why didn't he leave him the last woman?
Zhen Qing frowned and said, "Liu Fei has always been chaste, otherwise, why would she... serve you?"
Jia Heng sighed and said, "Concubine Liu has been depressed in the palace and has almost developed a heart attack. Last time, she even wanted to commit suicide by jumping into the river. I saw her just now and comforted her with a few words."
Zhen Qing's voice was filled with coldness and hostility, and she said sternly: "She committed suicide by jumping into the lake, she deserved it!"
Looking at the beautiful woman's frosty face, Jia Heng sighed softly and said, "Don't be so cruel."
"That bitch, she competed with me for my man back then, and now she's competing with me for my man again." Zhen Qing said harshly, anger still lingering on her jade-like face.
When she was the queen mother, she should have sentenced that man to death.
Jia Heng took the beautiful lady's hand and advised, "Well, Concubine Liu has been childless, which is pitiful enough. Why do you have to mistreat her like that?"
Zhen Qing looked at him unkindly and asked, "Why, you feel bad now?"
Jia Heng: "..."
Women's focus is always weird.
Jia Heng gently put his arm around Zhen Qing's shoulders and said, "Is it possible that you two can't live in harmony? To be honest, weren't you the one who bullied her over the past few years?"
If Mopan and Tianniuer can become "good sisters", then it should not be difficult to become Liu Fei as well.
Zhen Qing snorted coldly and said, "She is just pretending to be pitiful."
Jia Heng said: "Okay, let's not talk about her anymore."
As he spoke, he gently embraced Zhen Qing's delicate body, moved closer to her plump and slightly moist lips, lowered his head, and kissed her, greedily grabbing her sweet scent.
Zhen Qing stretched out her two slender, white, soft and smooth hands and gently pushed Jia Heng away.
This bastard just made love with that bitch and now he comes to kiss her again. It's so despicable.
After a while, Jia Heng asked, "How have you been doing in the palace these days?"
Zhen Qing said faintly: "What else can it be? It's just that no one cares about me, and no one cares about me."
Jia Heng laughed in silence and said, "You are quite jealous."
