Chapter 220 Princess Shang

After whispering with Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng went to Rongqing Hall to serve Jia's mother for dinner.

As soon as Jia Lian came out of the corridor, he saw Qingwen coming towards her panting, with a slight sweat on her red face.

"What are you doing?

"I was just playing shuttlecock with a few little girls in the alley over there. I was exhausted. Where are you going? "

"I'll go to Dongkuaoyuan to have a look..."

"I heard that the second master is going to build a martial arts training place at home, as well as a horse racing place, right? I'll go take a look too..."

Qingwen naturally retreated to Jia Lian and wanted to follow him to see the project.

Jia Lian didn't want her to go, Jia Yun and others should have brought in the craftsmen at this time. This girl is naturally beautiful, and it is easy to make those rough men have no intention of working.

I also saw that her blood was rosy after exercise, and she was faintly panting, and she became more and more... She was very similar to Daiyu, and suddenly evil thoughts came over her.

Without thinking, I hugged her waist as smooth as a water snake, lowered my head and tasted the fragrance.

Qingwen never thought that Jia Lian would suddenly attack her. Her beautiful peach blossom eyes widened and she stared blankly into Jia Lian's eyes.

Qingwen gradually woke up with her actions, and while looking around the courtyard, she whined and pushed Jia Lian.

After finally breaking free, she spat in her mouth. Then he stamped his feet and said angrily: "What are you doing..."

In the end, he was so embarrassed and angry that he gave Jia Lian a hard look, not caring to see if anyone in the courtyard had seen this shameful scene. , walking quickly, she rushed into the west wing.

When Xiangling saw her like this, she hurriedly asked: "Sister Qingwen, what's wrong with you? "

"It's nothing, nerd, just recite your poem! "

Qingwen said something to Xiang Ling casually, and then dove into her own bed, lying on her back to calm her heartbeat.

She secretly regretted it, if she had known it earlier If the second master wants to be frivolous, he shouldn't play shuttlecock. He will be stained with sweat. I wonder if the second master will dislike it...

No matter, he wants to be in the family of his relatives. He deserves it!

Although he thought so in his heart, he turned over and sat up. He felt that Jia Lian must have left the yard, then he got up, and under Xiang Ling's suspicious eyes, went to the small kitchen to scoop out some hot food. I went to take a bath...

...

On the second day, Jia Lian left Beijing before dawn.He set out in the middle of the night and took his bodyguard to the Royal Horse Garden on the outskirts of the city.

This is the private property of the prince. It is located in a spacious area with a small royal garden in the middle. There is a pasture and several mountains and forests, so whether you are outing or hunting on horseback, it is all in one place. Excellent location.

The task of Jia Lian and others in the first two days was to clear away the farmers and other idle personnel in the surrounding area, and then set up defenses at all levels.

As for the territory where the nobles can meet, it is not under their control. The Royal Guards have their own sentry posts.

When it was just around the corner, the eunuch of the Prince's Palace who was responsible for settling the defense summoned the generals together to explain the various preparations and precautions for today.

Although the eunuch was not of high rank, he was quite arrogant because he was a close confidant of the prince, so he gave a lecture to a group of third- and fourth-grade military officers and generals.

For the prince’s sake, it’s hard for the generals to argue with him.

"Hahaha, have the affairs of my nephew been properly arranged?"

The eunuch finally left, but Qiu Liang, the commander of the Central City Army and Horses Division, was He approached Jia Lian with a smile.

This Qiu Liang is the current head of the Jingtian Hou Mansion, and can be regarded as a family friend of the Jia Mansion, so even though he looks to be only in his thirties or forties, it is not an exaggeration to call Jia Lian a good nephew. .

Jia Lian also clasped his fists to greet him: "I have met Uncle Shi."

"Hahaha, there is no need to be polite. There is no need to be polite. My nephew is young and promising. He can be said to be the founding father of our country. He is a leading figure among the younger generation of Wu Xun, and His Majesty values ​​him so much. In the future, I can count on my nephew to take care of that boy."

"Uncle Shi is so complimentary, my nephew. I'm so ashamed."

After a simple chat, Qiu Liang invited Jia Lian to his camp to talk.

Although the rank of the Zhongcheng Soldiers and Horses Department is the same as that of the other four directions, because it manages the periphery of the imperial city, it has the best chance of contacting the prince Longsun. Therefore, its status among the five directions of the Soldiers and Horses Department is higher. Highest.

Today, we are also responsible for the frontal pass.

When they arrived at Qiu Liang’s camp, it turned out that Qiu Liang had not invited him alone, but also the commander of the Beicheng Army and Horses Department. The three of them sat down, and after exchanging the polite words in the officialdom, they started to cook. Chat over tea.

Because when talking about the Crown Prince’s aggressive campaign to celebrate Princess Zhaoyang’s birthday, it is inevitable to talk about Princess Zhaoyang’s special status.

"Haha, my nephew has only been in the officialdom of Beijing for a short time. Maybe he doesn't know that Princess Zhaoyang's status in the royal family is extraordinary.

There are currently four kings in the royal family. a princess.

The eldest princess married in Mongolia and was rumored to have passed away. The third princess died young and the fourth princess was still young.

Therefore, among the royal family, this second princess is the only one who is deeply favored by His Majesty and given the title Zhaoyang.

Because Princess Zhaoyang’s mother, Concubine Yi, is the niece of the current Empress Dowager, with this relationship, when Concubine Yi died young, the Empress Dowager took over Princess Zhaoyang. Go around and educate yourself.

With the favor of His Majesty and the Queen Mother, His Royal Highness Zhaoyang naturally wants wind and rain in the palace, and even the princes have to stay away. ”

It is actually very difficult for one person to sort out the inside relationships of the royal family. It is often necessary to communicate through such chats and to judge the truth from other people’s ears.
< br />Because most of the things that dare to talk about the royal family have been carefully investigated by others, and they dare not make up casually.

Now in the palace, there are the emperor, the queen mother, the concubine, the emperor, the queen and the concubines. Wait, there are a lot of noble people. It is really not easy to sort out Jia Lian's current situation, so I am happy to listen to Qiu Liang and others explain these relationships slowly.

Even Jia Lian understands it immediately What’s so special about Princess Zhaoyang’s identity?

The current Queen Mother is not the emperor’s biological mother, and there is also a biological mother, a concubine, next to her.

This is not very reasonable in itself. At the age of the emperor, even if her mother is not favored, she should be named the Queen Mother!

It can be seen that the Queen Mother must have special weight in the mind of the Emperor, otherwise, she would not Maybe she can suppress the concubine who has the emperor as her son.

What’s more, this Princess Zhaoyang is also the niece and granddaughter of the Queen Mother. In this way, she and the Queen Mother have a double family relationship. It is not surprising that she received extra favor from the Queen Mother.

Moreover, even in order to please the Queen Mother, Emperor Ningkang had to pay special attention to Princess Zhaoyang.

Look at it this way Come on, it’s not surprising that the prince is trying so hard to please this sister.

Xu Sheng, the commander of the North City Army and Horse Division, was born in white. In terms of family background and title, he can’t compare with Qiu Liang, let alone Jia Lian. In comparison, I had originally intended to make friends with the two of them.

Seeing that the topic had reached a hot topic, he was not to be outdone and broke a piece of gossip:

"Now His Royal Highness Zhaoyang is 20 years old. When he was eighteen years old, it was rumored that the palace had already intended to select a consort for him, but it was only because the Queen Mother was reluctant to let him go that he stayed with her.

I heard from others that today the prince invited young men from various families in Beijing to come to the meeting to choose a son-in-law for His Highness Zhaoyang..."

Gossip , no matter what class you are in or what age you are, it is an interest that you cannot escape.

Qiu Liang stroked his beard and smiled at Jia Lian: "My nephew is young and promising, and he was born so handsome and elegant. Among the talented people in the capital, I am afraid it is difficult for anyone to compare with my nephew.

If this is really the case, my nephew might as well give it a try today. If he is favored by His Highness Zhaoyang, he will soar into the sky and have an unlimited future."

Jia Lian only took it as a joke. Listen, "Uncle Shi is joking. My nephew has already married. I don't dare to have such delusions. Uncle Shi, please stop teasing me."

"Hahaha... My nephew must not have met. After passing His Highness Zhaoyang, it is said that His Highness Zhaoyang is not only handsome in appearance, but also has a free and easy personality, and is quite heroic, even inferior to all the princes, dragons and grandsons.

If he can be matched with a nephew, he will be regarded as a pair of gods. Concubine.

Therefore, the good nephew should think about it seriously. After all, there is no rule in this dynasty that Princess Shang is not allowed to take concubines..."

Qiu Liang had a smile on his face. Like a chrysanthemum, only a man with a full face can understand its meaning.

Jia Lian just drank tea indifferently.

How much effort did it take him to subdue Wang Xifeng, the niece of a first-class military attache?

If there is another proud girl from heaven, his backyard will never be safe for a day.

Besides, as long as the princess is not broken-headed, it is impossible for her to fall in love with a married man.

There are many handsome boys and handsome men in the capital. Given their conditions, they are naturally free to choose...

Therefore, it is impossible for Jia Lian to do whimsical and thankless things. Use some thought.

As for the princess, it just sounds like a bluff, maybe she looks like that.
