Weiyang Palace has a solemn atmosphere.
Princess Zhaoyang was called away as soon as she entered here, and Jia Lian only saw the Queen Mother after being left alone for a long time.
"Jia Lian, do you know your sin?"
In the quiet inner hall, there were not even a few people in the palace, only Jia Lian kneeling on the ground, and the man above, although his eyes were bright and beautiful, The Queen Mother with a frosty face.
"I am aware of my guilt."
"Hmph. Back then, I thought you were a rare talent, so I wanted to marry Zhaoyang to you. Who knew you didn't? At any rate, you dare to resist the order.
Who would have thought that now you secretly lure Zhaoyang, and bring shame to my Tian family, do you really think that my Tian family is easy to bully?"
The Queen Mother’s voice became increasingly cold. She looked straight down at Jia Lian below, and it was obvious that she would be furious as long as he gave a bad answer.
"What the Queen Mother scolded was that Jia Lian was blinded and failed to live up to the Queen Mother's good wishes. She is willing to accept any punishment from the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother did not expect that Jia Lian was so straightforward and said directly No matter how she dealt with it, there wasn't even a word of explanation or refutation, which made her a little confused about how to answer the question.
After a long time, she waved her arms, put the arm that was pressing on her left leg on her right, and said coldly: "If Zhaoyang hadn't begged just now, I would have reported it to Emperor Ming to treat you. The crime of defiling the princess.
We can discuss the punishment later. I would like to ask you, how do you plan to settle Zhaoyang and the child in her belly now?"
"I am in love with Her Royal Highness the Princess. I am grateful to the princess for not giving up. I am willing to do my best to marry the princess and hope that the Queen Mother will make it happen."
Jia Lian simply made the Queen Mother feel ridiculous again. If Jia Lian was like this back then, why did she go through so much trouble and still not achieve it in the end?
"That's nice to say, but what are you going to do with your Wang family? Are you planning to let Zhaoyang be your concubine?" the Queen Mother sneered.
"I don't dare. Don't worry, the Queen Mother, Wang is fully aware of the righteousness, and she has already known the friendship between me and the eldest princess, and has the intention to fulfill it. The Queen Mother does not need to worry about this."
The Queen Mother was somewhat silent. Based on her understanding of Jia Lian, she shouldn't be so aware of current affairs.
In order to make Jia Lian submit, she prepared a lot of questions. Now, I have no chance to say it.
After giving Jia Lian a deep look, the Queen Mother said: "In that case, I will give you one month to prepare to clear all obstacles and prepare for the marriage. After one month, I will give you I want to see Zhaoyang’s wedding.
I have a scandal ahead of me. If you can’t do it, orWithin one month, if there is anything you do that dissatisfies me, or makes Zhaoyang feel wronged in any way, I will not be lenient and will never break my promise. "
"I obey the decree. ”
The Queen Mother: “…”
If it weren’t for the fact that the face underneath was still the same, with the same calm expression as always, the Queen Mother would have suspected that this Jia Lian was not the other Jia Lian. .
The Queen Mother opened her mouth and wanted to say something more. In the end, she felt that in front of such a knowledgeable Jia Lian, it was just long-winded words. She was too lazy to say anything more, and just said dullly:
"You were ordered by the emperor to serve as Wei Gong in Tianjin. Now that you have returned to Beijing, you should spend time with Zhaoyang.
She is pregnant and this is your responsibility. "
"I understand, thank you Queen Mother for your teaching. "
"You..."
Obviously her goal was achieved, and Jia Lian did not contradict her again, but the Queen Mother felt uncomfortable.
Simply ignored Jia Lian, looked at the screen, and Leng Qiuqiu said: "You can come out too. "
Then I saw Princess Zhaoyang walking from behind the screen, stepped forward and took the Queen Mother's hand, shaking it from side to side: "Emperor Grandma, it's all Zhaoyang's fault, please don't be angry, okay? ? "
"Humph. ”
Faced with Zhaoyang who was acting coquettishly to please her, the Queen Mother finally understood why she was upset.
It was clear that she was the one who was attracted to this marriage in the first place, but she ended up with both sides. They tried to be a matchmaker, but this refusal and that refusal ultimately failed. Now, it's good that the two of them didn't need her to match them, and they got married secretly.
Looking back, does it look like she failed to succeed and failed? More than enough? Moreover, the fact that the two of them are now standing on a united front makes it seem that she is not a human being inside and out.
"I don't have to pursue your affairs. But with your grandpa and your father, I can’t make any guarantees.
I can help you intercede with your grandpa, but as for your father, you can figure it out on your own. "
"Hehehe, Zhaoyang knows that the Queen's grandmother is the best, and I like the Queen's grandmother the best. "
" Princess Zhaoyang said, and she actually leaned forward and kissed the Queen Mother.
" "Presumptuous. ”
The Queen Mother scolded embarrassedly, and glanced at Jia Lian quickly.
Originally, Princess Zhaoyang was brought up by her, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is her mother. It's enough to be intimate in private, but doing so in front of foreign ministers naturally makes the aloof Queen Mother feel that it is degrading.
ZhaoPrincess Yang didn't care at all and still held the Queen Mother Nuiwai.
At this moment, an old palace lady said something in the Queen Mother’s ear, and the Queen Mother’s expression dropped and she said softly: “Let them in.”
No After a while, two maids came and said, "To inform the Queen Mother, this is the stomach-nourishing hundred-flower porridge that our Lady cooked today. I specially filled a bowl and asked my slave to bring it to the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother. She said warmly: "The concubine is thoughtful, thank her for me. Come and see the reward."
"Thank you, the queen mother..."
On this side, Princess Zhaoyang has already He walked to Jia Lian and helped Jia Lian up.
Seeing the confusion in Jia Lian’s eyes, she explained: "They are from Changchun Palace."
After saying this, she knew that Jia Lian must be more serious even without looking at Jia Lian’s expression. He was confused, so he said: "The man from Changchun Palace has been having trouble with my imperial grandmother for so many years, but he has always been unable to do anything to my imperial grandmother.
After the last birthday banquet was banned by the emperor, Xu Youyou I felt remorseful and took the initiative to come to my imperial grandmother to apologize. I don’t know what tricks were used, but my imperial grandmother stopped arguing with her. The two of us are now very close, and the other one even sends things to me every now and then to please me. The imperial grandmother..."
Although in terms of blood relationship, the one from Changchun Palace is closer to Princess Zhaoyang and is her biological grandmother.
However, has anyone ever seen their own grandmother send her own granddaughter out as a victim in order to disgust her love rival?
Therefore, it is not surprising that Princess Zhaoyang refers to Concubine Li as "the one from Changchun Palace".
After the Queen Mother sent the people from Changchun Palace away politely, she felt very uncomfortable when she saw Jia Lian and his wife whispering and looking so unloving next to them.
"If nothing happens to you two, please step aside. I am exhausted."
After saying this, the Queen Mother got up and went directly to the bedroom.
Gong E brought in the bowl of hundred-flower soup and asked her: "Your Majesty, what should I do with this bowl of porridge?"
The Queen Mother glanced at it, and the look in her eyes became colder.
"Feed the flower slave."
Hua slave is the name of a cat in Weiyang Palace. I heard from the palace people that the cat raised by the Queen Mother has really gained a lot of weight recently.
……
In the carriage leaving the palace, Princess Zhaoyang nestled in Jia Lian’s arms and said softly: “Those words Erlang said in Weiyang Palace before, Qing Ran I'm very happy, very happy."
Although she had asked Wang Xifeng to give up her position as his legitimate wife, she had not discussed it with Jia Lian.
Jia Lian was in Weiyang Palace today. He was able to deal with the Queen Mother's attack so easily. It was obvious that he had already thought out all the pros and cons. This shows that she is not the only one thinking about their future, Jia Lian also takes this matter to heart.
Jia Lian touched Princess Zhaoyang’s head and sighed: "Why thank me. What I have done is not enough for what Qingran did for me."
Princess Zhaoyang smiled and said: "You can't say that. It was someone who deceived Erlang outside the Great Wall and designed to seduce Erlang. Erlang fell into their trap. So it is right for people to treat Erlang well."
Jia Lian smiled, what could he say?
Although Princess Zhaoyang was indeed more proactive in the beginning, she was a princess, right? She is a truly born noble princess, not the kind who only knows magic.
Jia Lian has pursued some attractive women with scheming, but with Princess Zhaoyang, he enjoyed the feeling of being pursued.
Faced with such a woman, how could he not like her?
Princess Zhaoyang didn’t know what Jia Lian was thinking, so she joked and said: “Speaking of which, Erlang hasn’t visited my princess residence yet. It just so happens that it’s still early today, so why not Erlang?” How about you go to my house and have a good look?"
After saying that, Princess Zhaoyang came to Jia Lian's ear mysteriously: "If Erlang agrees, I will have a surprise for Erlang."
/>
Let’s not talk about the temptation of Princess Zhaoyang, just say that now that he has shown his cards in front of the Queen Mother, there is really no need to cover up the matter between him and Princess Zhaoyang.
Although there are still obstacles, since the Queen Mother said that she would solve it for the Supreme Emperor, it will naturally not be a problem.
Where is Emperor Ning Kang...
For such a long time, Jia Lian did not believe that Emperor Ning Kang had not discovered any clues. Since he never said anything and still reused himself as always, it means that as long as he is sensible, the other party will not embarrass him too much.
Speaking of which, although he had gone into the eldest princess's mansion, he had done so secretly, so he really didn't have a good time wandering around.
So she smiled and said: "Okay."
Princess Zhaoyang looked happy and immediately ordered the carriage to go straight to the princess's residence.
Follow Princess Zhaoyang from the Yimen to the inner room of the main hall. While Princess Zhaoyang ordered people to prepare meals, she turned back to Jia Lian and said, "Erlang must be tired after running around for a day. How about taking a bath first, and then I will accompany Erlang to eat?"
After saying that, without giving Jia Lian a chance to refuse, he ordered people to come and take Jia Lian away.
As the two maids walked through the deep palace, they entered a tall attic. But see the open space in the pavilion, there is a white jade pool in the middle. More than a dozen palace ladies are divided into four or five teams, coming and going, filling the pool with hot water in an orderly manner.
The steam of hot water rises and covers the beams and hanging brocade curtains, showing a bit of the beauty of the fairyland on earth.
Soon the maids dispersed, leaving only the two maids who had led the way. They stepped forward one from the left and one from the right, and said shyly: "My slaves, please undress the Marquis."
After saying that, seeing that Jia Lian had no objection, they undressed and untied Jia Lian very carefully.
Fortunately, Jia Lian is no ordinary person and has long been accustomed to enjoying such services. Otherwise, it would have been Jia Lian, his predecessor, who would have been distracted and lost track of where he was, with a beautiful palace lady taking care of him in this situation.
After stripping down to only a trousers and robe, Jia Lian went down into the warm pool and enjoyed the comfort of the hot water soaking all over his skin.
Sensing someone approaching, Jia Lian looked back and saw the two little Jiao'es holding handkerchiefs and timidly wiping their bodies, so he stopped paying attention.
Originally thought that would be it. Although it was not as comfortable as bathing at home with Guaixiang Ling and Qiao Qingwen in her arms, this was the princess's residence. Jia Lian could almost imagine that Princess Zhaoyang would be there soon. It is here, under the service of countless maids, that the bath is fragrant.
Suddenly I heard the sound of light footsteps. When I opened my eyes, I saw the curtain in front of me shaking, and three beauties in beautiful makeup and beautiful clothes were approaching.
"The slaves are waiting for the princess to come and perform the dance..."
Facing the beauty's charming voice, Jia Lian said "hmm" and had to sigh Zhaoyang again in her heart. The atmosphere of a princess.
What a considerate little girlfriend. She was afraid that he would be bored while bathing, so she even ordered songs and dances for him to entertain him? She’s not afraid of her own whims...
Well, she’s really not afraid.
Looking at the dancer slowly dancing on the spot, occasionally glancing at him secretly, or making secret glances at him, Jia Lian secretly praised that the royal family really knew how to enjoy themselves.
It is really elegant to take a bath and watch the beauties dance.
He also wanted to have a bathtub at home, and he also raised several stunning geishas...
Then he shook his head, Feng Yatou, the bathhouse behind the flower hall, is good Well, it's just too small. It's just right for bathing, but if you want to watch the beauties dancing, it's a bit expensive.
Unless the Yuanchun Palace in the Grand View Garden is opened, the bathing loft there is not much worse than here.
The dance has gone through three songs in a hurry. I don’t know whether the beauties have become interested in dancing, or they are attracted by Jia Lian’s body half submerged in the water. In short, Jia Lian feels that the beautiesThe dance is getting more and more fiery and full of charm.
Just when Jia Lian was thinking that Princess Zhaoyang was not present anyway, even if he caught a beautiful woman and sexually assaulted her, they would not betray him and there would be nothing wrong with him, so he had some evil intentions. Jia Lian caught a glimpse of the beauty's eyes and movements.
Pretending to be careless, he turned around and saw that Princess Zhaoyang, dressed in light clothes, had entered the pavilion at some point and was walking towards him.
Seeing Jia Lian turn around, Princess Zhaoyang smiled and said: "How do Erlang feel about this place?"
"Very good."
"Haha, This place was originally called 'Taoyuan Pavilion'. It is said that it was the place where Prince Yi Zhong and his beloved concubines bathed and played.
Later it fell into my hands. I slightly modified it and renamed it 'Xiao Yu'. Xuan'.
In autumn, it is quite a pleasant experience to rest here and listen to the light rain outside the Xuan."
Jia Lian understood clearly that it was rumored that the old prince was a The romantic prince was basically the future king, so it was not surprising that he built such a leisure place.
"You all go down."
"Yes."
Princess Zhaoyang waved away the palace maids and dancers, raised her hands and lifted her waist The ribbon was untied, and then his hands were pulled back, and the layers of silky clothes fell to the ground in response to the movement, revealing flawless skin.
When Jia Lian heard the sound and turned around, Princess Zhaoyang only had a goose-yellow bellyband and panties covering her body.
Looking at Princess Zhaoyang, who was so beautiful, walking with an elegant smile, stepping into the water step by step on the stone steps, a feeling of amazement arose in Jia Lian's heart.
Princess Zhaoyang is undoubtedly a beauty, otherwise she would not be loved by so many princes and princes.
But when they first met, she didn’t feel very amazing to Jia Lian.
At least, in the prince's palace that day, her style was completely overshadowed by the Queen Mother in Jia Lian's eyes, so much so that Jia Lian almost recognized the Queen Mother as Princess Zhaoyang.
But with each in-depth contact, Jia Lian was impressed by this woman again and again.
What kind of woman is this?
It can be said that if Jia Lian did not have the memory of two lives, he would not have the arrogance brought about by such a vision that far exceeds the current world.
Jia Lian believed that if he were just a man of the world, even a top young talent would be easily smitten by him. Just like Feng Ziying, Zhang Tao and others.
Jia Lian judged this woman with objective evaluation: She alsoShe is a woman who has transcended the limitations of this era to a certain extent.
Because Jia Lian could hardly feel the superiority of high-latitude civilization in her.
Her inherent temperament and elegance have surpassed her own appearance and are more charming than a purely beautiful skin.
Going down to the pool, Princess Zhaoyang, who was playing with the water with bare hands, noticed Jia Lian's peek and said shyly: "What are you looking at!"
"Qingran is born. So beautiful."
"Liar. In Erlang's eyes, she must not be as beautiful as Wang, otherwise Erlang would not have rejected her for her in the first place."
This again Jia Lian knew that this was an unanswerable topic that she would talk about for the rest of her life.
The helpless Jia Lian stood up, walked over, hugged the beautiful princess into his arms, and kissed her passionately.
After a long time, she noticed that Jia Lian had acted excessively. Princess Zhaoyang parted her lips and glared at Jia Lian: "What are you doing? Be careful of the child."
Jia Lian said : "Actually, it'll be fine if you be careful..."
Princess Zhaoyang just smiled and shook her head firmly: "This is our first child, so you are not allowed to break it. ."
Okay.
Jia Lian had to admit that he was right.
Seeing Jia Lian’s face full of sadness, Princess Zhaoyang found it funny. She took the initiative to put her arms around Jia Lian's neck, kissed him on the face, then touched her ears and temples, and said with a chuckle: "Erlang, you still remember, I just said that there is a surprise for Erlang."
< br /> "Oh?"
Jia Lian was surprised. Could it be that the surprise was not a bath, or arranging for a beautiful woman to dance for him?
Sensing Jia Lian's agitation, Princess Zhaoyang did not show off too much, and said a little shyly: "I heard from Yuan Yao that Erlang is the best in the 'Beauty Plays Xiao' romance, and he has to make people kneel down. , What a bully."
"Huh? Nonsense, she is just talking nonsense, how dare you trick me..."
Jia Lian's teeth itched, but he Nothing can be done. Although he didn't mind Hu Yuanyao revealing some of his information to Princess Zhaoyang, who knew that this woman had to report even such privacy to her superiors!
If I had known better, I shouldn’t have talked to her in the first place.
Princess Zhaoyang, who was still a little hesitant at first, completely believed Hu Yuanyao's words when she saw Jia Lian, who was rarely angry.
She giggled, then whispered in a lower voice, "Really? I originally wanted to say that if Erlang really likes it, I can give it a try. Since no,Then forget it..."
This...
Jia Lian turned his head to face the beauty's face, feeling the beauty's sincerity. Jia Lian hesitated and said: "Although I don't like it very much either. , but since Qingran is determined to be elegant, why not let’s try it? "
Princess Zhaoyang reached out and tapped Jia Lian on the forehead, then turned around and left with an angry look on her face.
Upon seeing this, Jia Lian quickly held her back.
Princess Zhaoyang rolled her eyes at him: "Could it be that Erlang wants Qingran to try it in this pool? ”
Jia Lian was stunned, but in fact he was already filled with joy.
…
Xiao Yuxuan was indeed built by the previous prince. A place of enjoyment.
There is not only a bathhouse, but also a singing stage. Behind the bathhouse, in front of the huge screen, there is also a high platform.
On top of the platform , not only were they laid out with brand new and clean furs, but there were also brocade quilts and brocade clothes on the couches on both sides.
Jia Lian always felt that Princess Zhaoyang, a girl, planned everything before moving on.
br />
Taking today’s incident as an example, he also suspected that the other party had a premeditated plan.
For example, as soon as he arrived at the princess residence, the maids prepared a pool full of hot water. Appropriate. For example, all the spare things on this soft couch.
At this time, Jia Lian was casually wearing a large cloak and sitting high on the soft couch.
< br />In front of him, the noble princess was covered with a light gauze, kneeling on the carpet, serving him wholeheartedly like Ping'er at home.
Empty In the attic, there was sometimes a cold wind blowing through Jia Lian's cloak and hitting Jia Lian's bare chest, but it could not bring him any chill.
I don't know how long it took, Princess Zhaoyang straightened up and refused. He said: "If you don't come, my neck will be sore. "
"This, keep insisting? "
Jia Lian has a bitter look on his face. Everyone knows that it would be shameful to give up halfway.
If girls like Ping'er and Qingwen were free, they wouldn't have this trouble. Jia Lian can use force to fulfill his lust.
But facing Princess Zhaoyang who is on strike, Jia Lian really has no good way. This girl is so open-minded. If she offends her, she may not have any benefits in the future.
So I can only persuade her with good words.
But Princess Zhaoyang is also very opinionated. If she says she doesn’t want to do it, she won’t do it.
Jia Lian had nothing to do about this. Anyway, this girl’s level was not that good. At worst, he would call Ah Qin when he returned home later.The car is ready.
Jia Lian thought with an unhappy face.
“Hee hee, Erlang is angry?”
“No...”
“But my neck is really sore.”
Princess Zhaoyang looked at Jia Lian jokingly, until she found that Jia Lian was unwilling to raise his eyes to look at her, she shook her head and smiled, turned around and said loudly to the door: "Who is waiting outside?"
"Back to the princess, my slave Yuanxi."
"My slave Ziwei."
"You two come in."
Hear There was a sound of the door opening, and Jia Lian quickly swung his cloak to cover the front. Pretending to be confused, she looked at Princess Zhaoyang.
Princess Zhaoyang seemed unaware, tightened her clothes, sat next to Jia Lian, and said with a smile: "Since I promised Erlang, how can I not let Erlang have fun? But it is true that he is tired, so I have to call him Erlang won't mind if someone does it for you, right?"
"It's just that Qing Ran is tired, so there's no need to..."
Having said that, Jia Lian The strange color in his eyes still appeared involuntarily. And his right hand also hugged Princess Zhaoyang, caressing her waist, as a reward for her understanding.
Princess Zhaoyang glanced at Jia Lian with disgust and looked at the two maids who didn't know what to do standing underneath after the door was closed.
“What are you doing, you haven’t come up yet.”
“Yes.”
Two palace maids in tight clothes and simple costumes Hesitantly walked up to the high platform.
Jia Lian couldn't tell their identities at a glance, because the maids Gong'e in Princess Zhaoyang's mansion were all dressed up in general, clean and neat.
It just feels familiar, thinking about it, I have seen it before.
"Both of them are people who have followed me for many years, and they are also two of the sixteen swordsmen I brought to Erlang's camp today. Do you think Erlang can still use them?"
What can Jia Lian say? Not to mention that these two girls are both good, even if they are not satisfactory, can he have the nerve to choose at this time?
"Qingran is interested." Jia Lian took Princess Zhaoyang and kissed her.
The two maids, who had had a premonition after entering the pavilion, saw their master and the Marquis acting so intimately, their faces became even more rosy.
Princess Zhaoyang got rid of Jia Lian's harassment and said to the two of her: "You two, are you willing to serve the Marquis?"
This situation, this scene, what the princess said Serving is obviously not as simple as helping to change clothes.
But the two beauties looked at each other and nodded shyly. Not to mention that Mr. Hou is handsome and dashing, and is a world-famous hero, but even their princess is willing to commit herself to him, so why wouldn't they?
Besides, there was no room for them to disobey the princess’s orders.
“Since you want to, why don’t you come over.”
“Yes...”
The empty hall is quieter than before, but it’s Seems more charming.
