Tangli Palace, in the palace

This palace where Princess Xianning resides in her boudoir is luxuriously and beautifully decorated, with bright and clean windows. Once inside, the fragrant scent of vanilla lingers in the room.

Jia Heng and Princess Xianning sat down again. Chen Ze on the side was pestering Jia Heng, raised his face and said, "Brother-in-law, did Master Lu lie to me?"

Jia Heng said: "He just didn't tell the truth. There were many civil servants who were authoritarian and domineering. During the Song and Ming Dynasties, civil servants even spit in front of the emperor. There were also civil servants who bullied the young master."

Princess Xianning stretched out her slender fingers, tapped Chen Ze's forehead, and said with a chuckle: "You, don't listen to all the words of those corrupt scholars. They just want to teach you to be more civilized and less martial.

Don’t be partial. Your brother-in-law is not only engaged in military affairs. He previously controlled the river and patrolled the salt. Which one was achieved by killing?"

Today’s young girls are increasingly taking on the role of Jia Heng’s wife.

Chen Ze nodded, with a thoughtful expression on his face, and said, "Brother-in-law, will you teach me how to read history? These ancient things sound really interesting."

Jia Heng smiled and said, "When I'm not busy, you can go find your sister. I'll talk to you then."

Then, he looked at Princess Xianning and said with a chuckle: "This is the age when you are curious about something. You are talented, smart and eager to learn."

Xianning and Chen Ze are two siblings born from the same mother, so they must have a deep relationship.

Chen Ze said crisply: "Then I can ask my brother-in-law for advice. Sister, do you mind?"

Princess Xianning's beautiful face was covered with a smile, she pinched Chen Ze's cheek and said: "When your brother-in-law is not busy, you can ask for advice. Your brother-in-law is so busy all day long, I can't see him for a year.

A few sides.”

Jia Heng looked at the girl and said, "Isn't it because I went outside the customs earlier and was delayed for a long time?"

Princess Xianning sighed: "At first I wanted to go there with my husband, but it didn't happen."

My cousin has been with my husband for a long time, and my husband must have a much deeper feeling for her than she does.

Li Chanyue looked at the two of them and Chen Ze, with a hint of envy in Zangxing Yunyue's eyes.

She also wants to have a sister like this. Well, it seems like she is about to have one, right?

I don't know what I thought of, but the girl's cheeks were stained with scarlet, and her heart was a little uneasy.

Princess Xianning looked at the young man with shining eyes, and said with a chuckle: "Sir, the Three Kingdoms should still be written."

Jia Heng picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then put it down and said, "If you didn't tell me, I almost forgot. I have been preparing to write the fourth part in my free time these days."

It's time to write about the Battle of Chibi, which laid the foundation for the three-part world. Well, to a certain extent, it also corresponds to the situation of the Han Dynasty after the victory of Ping'an Prefecture?

"Sister, I usually read the Three Kingdoms dialect book written by my brother-in-law, okay?" Chen Zeyang looked at his sister and said.

Princess Xianning said angrily: "You are still illiterate. It's time to read more scriptures. What are you doing reading those scripts? It's time for my mother to say that you are not doing your job properly."

Chen Ze smiled and said: "Sister, I'm not young anymore. I can recognize almost a thousand words."

Jia Heng smiled and said, "Xianning, it doesn't matter at this time."

Do you want to bet on this brother-in-law?

He's just so smart. If he really became the emperor, would he be the first to deal with him?

Jia Heng was thinking about it, looked at Xianning, and said warmly: "It's not so hot now, it's still early, why don't we go out for a walk?"

There's nothing fun about staying in the palace during the Dragon Boat Festival. As for playing around with Xianning and Chanyue, it's not easy now that Song Yan and Chen Ze are around.

There are rules in the palace, and etiquette cannot be deviated from.

Princess Xianning hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, my mother-in-law didn't let my brother go outside because there was some chaos outside."

But Chen Ze raised his face and said, "Sister, take me there. I also want to go outside and have a look."

Song Yan looked at Jia Heng, her big bright eyes flashed, and she clenched her handkerchief.

Just like when you are young, you should not meet someone who is too stunning. Even though they got along for a short time, Jia Heng, the cousin-in-law, has gradually left a deep impression on the girl's heart.

While everyone was talking, the carriage drove out of the palace and headed towards Qujiang Pond.

Qujiangchi

At this moment, there are pavilions and pavilions on both sides of the coast. Many dignitaries and dignitaries are sitting on the pavilions, either hugging the singer or having a banquet with friends to talk about ancient times.

He was discussing the malpractice of the imperial examination that occurred in the yamen of the Ministry of Rites.

Jia Heng, on the other hand, rode on a horse and went to a restaurant run by a steward under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, called "Ford Restaurant".

The shopkeeper took several young nobles from the backyard and went to the third floor of the restaurant.

At this moment, on the third floor of the same restaurant, Gao Yong and brothers Chen Hong and Chen Rui, sons of King Zhongshun, entered a private room, calling the waiter to order all the dishes, pushing cups for cups, cups for cups.

Gao Yong and Chen Hong were old friends who had known each other for many years. Gao Yong looked gloomy at the moment. He took a sip of gloomy wine and said, "Jia Heng obviously has a wife, but the palace still gave the daughter of the clan to a married man."

What's the point of serving one person, a princess with golden branches and jade leaves, and other women of the common people, and they even said a trick to cover up their own affairs and deceive themselves and others!"

Chen Hong heard this and advised: "Brother Gao, after all, Duke Wei Guo has achieved world-shaking achievements, so there is some preference in the palace."

In fact, he still wanted to win over the Jia family and use Yi to defend the royal family.

"What bullshit credit! If I can get the advantage of that fire gun and lead the troops to Xuanda, I can also take the head of Huang Taiji!" Gao Yong said in a deep voice with an indignant look on his face.

Although Jia Heng killed the slave chief and achieved special honors, not everyone was convinced.

Chen Rui looked at Gao Yong from the side and sighed secretly.

Brother Gao clearly had a long-standing love for Princess Xianning, but Princess Xianning was given a marriage to Duke Wei, which can be regarded as resentment for seizing his wife.

Gao Yong drank the wine from the wine cup continuously. After a while, he became drunk and complained: "When my father went to Sichuan to supervise the army, the palace promised that Xianning would be given to me, but now he has gone back on his word!"

In fact, Emperor Chongping never said such a thing, but Emperor Chongping ignored it when Empress Song and Gao Zhongping's wife joked like this.

Chen Hong's eyes flashed and he advised: "Brother Gao, you are drunk."

"I'm not drunk." Gao Yong whispered. After a while, he got up, obviously to relieve himself.

Chen Hong greeted: "Here comes someone, hurry up and help."

Two servants from the Zhongshun County Prince's Mansion and the generals of the Gao family came over quickly and helped Gao Yong to go to the toilet under the guidance of the waiters.

Chen Hongzhuan looked at Chen Rui and said: "The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and a new generation replaces the old."

Isn't their father like this? He was trusted by his fourth uncle in the palace and took charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but now he has been reduced to a commoner and guarded the imperial mausoleum.

Chen Rui frowned and asked: "Brother, the Gao family and the Jia family are now favorites in the palace. If there is a conflict between the two families, the court will be in turmoil, right?"

Chen Hong said with emotion: "The court situation is already in turmoil. There was just a case of fraud in the imperial examination. I don't know what big names will be involved."

He felt vaguely that something was evil.

Jia Heng was guarding Princess Xianning, Princess Qinghe, Song Yan and the eighth prince Chen Ze. He climbed up the wooden stairs and came to another box. He leaned against the window and looked up at the dragon boat on Qujiang Pond.

.

The fleet has already started rowing its oars and racing dragon boats.

Jia Heng raised the tea cup and took a sip, feeling the fragrance lingering on his teeth and cheeks.

Princess Xianning said softly: "Sir, this is organized by Jingzhao Prefecture. Each county under Jingzhao Prefecture has a fleet. There has been a race in the morning and four teams have been decided. Now is the final."

Jia Heng looked at the noisy crowd below and seemed to feel the high-spirited and enterprising momentum.

Chen Ze also opened the window and looked down, saying: "Sister, is there any bonus if you win this game?"

"It seems to be five hundred taels of silver." At this time, a waiter said with a smile.

Looking at the gorgeous clothes, fair faces, and dragon and phoenix patterns on the jade pendants of these people in front of me, I am afraid they are from the palace.

Song Yan and Li Chanyue also looked down through the railing, and they saw joy on their innocent and beautiful faces.

While everyone was looking around, there was a sudden quarrel outside the screen door. It was clearly that Jia Heng's accompanying Jinyi Mansion followers were quarreling with a drunkard.

Jia Heng frowned, stood up, looked at Princess Xianning aside, and said, "I'll go take a look."

At this time, Gao Yong said: "Who are you? A good dog doesn't block the way!"

It turned out that Gao Yong had just gone to the toilet, and Mi Mi Hu Hu wanted to go in another direction along the corridor. He didn't want to be blocked by two well-dressed men, so they started pushing him after a few words.

Then, the guard of Jinyi Mansion showed his waist card and shouted angrily: "Who are you scolding?"

Gao Yong saw the waist badge clearly, squinted his drunken eyes, saw the seal on the badge clearly, and murmured: "Jinyiwei?"

I couldn't help but feel timid, but then anger surged in my heart, my eyes were blood red, and I roared: "It turns out they are Jia Heng's subordinates!"

He raised his fist and hit the black-faced Captain in Jinyi on the face.

At this time, the servants of Prince Zhongshun and the servants of the Gao family, who were watching Gao Yong go to his convenience, also ran over in a panic, grabbed Gao Yong tightly and said, "Third Master, please don't be impulsive."

The Jinyi Mansion was punched in the face, and the bridge of his nose became sore, and blood started to flow from his nose. He became furious and said angrily: "You are so brave! Attack the Emperor's personal army! Go and call for help."

Although they came in casual clothes, there were also about ten Jinyi Palace guards, mainly guarding Jia Heng and Princess Xianning and his party in the private room on the floor.

Prince Zhongshun Chen Hong and Chen Qin, who were in the box at the northeast corner, came over after hearing the news. They quickly approached and said with eager expressions: "Brothers, I have misunderstood, misunderstood. I drank too much. I did not mean to offend."

As if he was worried that the two people in the Jinyi Mansion would not give up, Chen Hong took out a waist card and said quickly: "I am Chen Hong, the king of Zhongshun County. Please forgive me, Brother Jinyi. This is the third son of Mr. Gao, the governor of Liangjiang. What happened just now

I drank too much and was reckless for a while. Please forgive me. Please come and ask for a doctor for this brother."

After a while, a young man in a straight green shirt appeared from the corner at the end of the corridor, walking towards him. The sunlight came through the window on the side and shone on the young man's face. The face that was carved by Qing Jun was bright and dark.

The eyes under Dao Jian's eyebrows were as sinister as a falcon.

Chen Hong's heart trembled slightly and his eyes narrowed.

Duke Wei, Jia Heng!

Chen Rui also caught a glimpse of the young man in green shirt and shivered slightly. He had suffered a lot when he met him at Dongcheng Horse Market.
