On the second day, after Jia Lian entered the palace to meet the saint, he met the prince on the way out of the palace.
The prince's sedan chair was parked beside the palace road, as if he was waiting for him specially.
"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Marquis Zhenyuan doesn't need to be polite."
The prince held the sedan curtain with one hand and looked at Jia Lian with a warm face.
"I heard that Marquis Zhenyuan is going to Tianjin Guard soon, so I came to see Marquis Zhenyuan off. I wish Marquis Zhenyuan will build a new type of warship as soon as possible, strengthen our navy, and enhance the prestige of our country."
"Thanks to His Majesty's kind words, I will do my best to repay His Majesty's kindness. Your Majesty looks forward to it."
"Hehehe."
The prince laughed a little, and then said to Jia Lian in a sincere voice: "I already know what happened in Weiyang Palace that day. It was all because of the crown prince's coquettishness, and it is also my fault. Please don't take it to heart, Marquis Zhenyuan.
I would like to ask the Marquis of Zhenyuan to express my apology to the Zhen family on my behalf."
Jia Lian did not expect that the prince would take the initiative to mention what happened in the palace that day and express his apology. You must know that after returning home that day, Jia Mu and others wanted to force him to go to the prince's palace to plead guilty.
I also thought that it had been so many days, and if the prince really felt sorry for the Zhen family, he would not go to the Zhen family in person to express his apology. Even if he sent an internal official to the Zhen family to declare his favor, it would be worse than just saying it casually in front of him.
good.
Although he questioned the sincerity of the prince, he was still satisfied with his gesture. After replying to His Highness's serious words, Jia Lian raised his hands and said solemnly: "In theory, the crown prince is respected and the minister is humble. Therefore, no matter what the crown prince is, it will be his turn."
I don't have any chance to comment.
However, Wei Chen feels that as the crown prince of the country, His Highness will definitely be in charge of the Nine Fives in the future. If the Crown Princess is unable to tolerate others, then His Highness’s harem will be difficult to stabilize. If the harem is unstable, it is not the blessing of our great Wei Dynasty.
It is a blessing to all the people in the world. I hope Your Highness will think about it soon."
After Jia Lian finished speaking, he bowed deeply to the prince and then left.
The prince kept squinting his eyes while Jia Lian was talking, but he did not interrupt Jia Lian's words. Until Jia Lian's figure walked away, his eyes were still deep, and then he sighed: "If such a person can be completely used by me, why worry?
…”
The old eunuch next to him heard the prince's words and responded with a smile: "Your Highness, why should you regret it? According to what Marquis Zhenyuan said, after His Highness Long Yu's Ninth Five Years, why worry about Marquis Zhenyuan not being able to be used by His Highness? By then, let alone Marquis Zhenyuan, even the world
They all belong to His Highness..."
The prince glanced at him and was too lazy to pay attention to him. He threw down the curtain and ordered him to return home.
…
With Jia Lian's current status, when facing the imperial power, he no longer has to be so humble that he dare not tell the truth.
On the contrary, the more he showed that he had his own principles and will, in addition to letting the prince and others know that he was not someone who could be manipulated at will, it also made them feel that he was not a person with two ends.
For example, if Fan Zhen's family was so bullied by the Crown Princess, if he, an important official in the court as a sworn brother, did not dare to say a single word and was just obedient, then the Crown Prince and others would not think that he is a waste, but would think that he is a waste.
His city is too deep and harbors evil intentions.
This was not the effect Jia Lian wanted. Therefore, he directly expressed in front of the prince that the current prince concubine was not a person who could care for his mother and the world. Since he was not a person who could care for his mother and the world, he was naturally not worthy of being a crown princess.
It can be considered a complaint.
He didn't think that this would offend the prince. After all, after being wronged, people would not complain to someone they disliked. Since he complained to him, it meant that in his heart, he regarded the other person as a person who could uphold justice.
Jia Lian knew that the prince was not stupid, and he should be able to feel the loyalty to him that he deliberately created.
After leaving the palace, Jia Lian stopped by Linzi's uncle's house to see the old man, and then returned to his house to pack his bags and prepare for his trip to Tianjin.
Of course, before leaving, Jia Lian had to pay a visit to Guancui Temple, but he did not forget the agreement he made with Miaoyu that day.
It's winter again, and the plum blossoms on the Cuicui Temple are already in full bloom.
Facing the cold fragrance of flowers, Jia Lian stepped on the bluestone slabs and came to the hillside behind the Cuicui Temple. In the shadow of the plum blossom trees, he found the figure that was more beautiful than the flowers.
Wearing a gorgeous dress with a snow-white velvet collar, she stood quietly in front of an early-blooming red plum tree. The cold mist of mid-winter enveloped her, making her already cold beauty look more and more like a woman standing alone in the world.
Lonely Fairy.
Jia Lian walked towards her, and the beauty looked back at the sound. When her beautiful eyes came back to attention, the faint joy blooming on her jade face immediately dispelled the mist and chill around her. The whole small world seemed to have become winter in an instant.
Come spring.
"you……"
The beauty's delicate lips parted slightly, but before she could finish her words, she stopped speaking softly.
But Jia Lian knew what she wanted to ask, and replied with a smile: "I came to see you. Your girl said you were admiring plum blossoms in the back, so I came up."
As he spoke, Jia Lian walked to her side, raised his eyes to look at the lightly blooming red plum blossoms around him, took a breath and sighed: "Yes, the plum blossoms are fragrant and the fairyland on earth is worth all the effort I put in to have these plum blossoms."
The trees were moved and planted.”
Miaoyu looked sideways at the handsome man next to her. She didn't know what she was thinking of. Her face looked both shy and happy, and she hurriedly spat to cover it up.
"You just planted them. If it weren't for my careful care this year, they would be just twenty or thirty ordinary plum trees. How could they be like this?"
"Hehehe, yes, yes, it is your hard work that deserves the most credit. Not to mention these few plum blossoms, the entire Cuicui nunnery, if not fortunate enough to be favored by you, the fairy, would be nothing more than a simple nunnery in the world. Where would it be?
The weather is prosperous today, and even I, the prince of the current dynasty, often come to seek scriptures and provide incense."
Jia Lian glanced at the beauty out of the corner of his eye, shook his head and smiled. As expected, this girl is really competitive and won't show mercy.
Miaoyu knew that Jia Lian was teasing her, and was about to fight back. She remembered that Jia Lian must have come to say goodbye to her, and she didn't know how long it would take to see her again, so she quietly stopped talking and stood side by side with Jia Lian, enjoying the scenery in front of her.
Suddenly she felt her waist tighten, and her light body was already nestled into the familiar and warm chest. This situation was not beyond her expectation, so she just frowned and then asked in a low voice: "I'm going to do it tomorrow."
gone?"
"Um."
"I knew that if it hadn't been like this, you wouldn't have thought of getting up to see me."
Faced with the beauty's coquettishness and complaint, Jia Lian did not explain. He just turned around and looked down at the beauty in his arms. He smiled, held her head in both hands, and with an irresistible momentum, gently touched the beauty's unpainted lips.
Kiss away.
The beauty's lips are slightly cool, her mouth is full of fragrance, and her beauty is so beautiful that it makes people feel intoxicated.
Perhaps Jia Lian was not the only one who was intoxicated. After a long time, Jia Lian couldn't help but laugh softly as he looked at the incomparably beautiful Miaoyu, with her cheeks flushed and her beautiful eyes filled with affection, nestling obediently in his arms.
Although he had never seen Jia Lian's face, he could only tell by hearing his voice that he was proud. Miaoyu was embarrassed and her heart became cruel. A slender hand around Jia Lian grabbed Jia Lian's waist and gave it a hard blow through the thick clothes.
He twisted and took advantage of Jia Lian's pain to escape from Jia Lian's arms and glared at him.
Jia Lian deliberately rubbed his waist, and then approached Miaoyu again with a malicious look on his face. Under Miaoyu's vigilant eyes, he smiled and said, "Do you still remember the agreement last time?"
Miaoyu was startled at first, and then she took a few steps back. When Jia Lian looked at her, she still had the charm of Fairy Miaoyu in the past. She looked like a frightened deer, with a face as red as blood and a panicked expression.
"Wha, what...promise..."
The mosquito-like sound shows the beauty's guilty conscience.
Jia Lian laughed, got closer to her, stared down and said, "What, you still want to default on your debt?"
"Bah, you, why are you thinking about those things, just, you can't..."
Miaoyu looked ashamed and angry, glared at Jia Lian fiercely, turned around in shame, and faced Jia Lian with her beautiful back.
Jia Lian saw the smile on her face and quietly stepped forward to hug the beauty from behind. When she noticed that the beauty's delicate body trembled and her body tensed up, Jia Lian was even more happy and couldn't help but take a deep sniff of her sweet and fragrant neck.
Then he whispered: "That's not because Fairy Miaoyu is so beautiful. No man in the world can resist her, and ordinary people like me are no exception."
Miaoyu didn't reply, but her body gradually softened, almost paralyzing in Jia Lian's arms.
So Jia Lian bent down, picked up the beauty by her waist, looked at the shy beauty, and then walked back.
Seeing that she was about to return to the nunnery, Miaoyu was so embarrassed that she thought that Jia Lian was going to take her into the nunnery and do something inappropriate, and even let her do such shameful things. But she was so obsessed with it that she agreed to him last time.
Even if I want to go back on my word, I can't stand still...
Just when Miaoyu was thinking about how to face the next thing, she realized that Jia Lian had put her down.
Miaoyu took a closer look and found that she was indeed back in the Cuicui Temple. Her servants might appear at any time. She was so shocked that she immediately backed away from Jia Lian. She looked at Jia Lian and opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.
What.
Refuse to let Jia Lian go? But he will leave Beijing tomorrow. This may be the last time I see him this year.
But if you keep him...
Jia Lian saw that Miaoyu had all her thoughts written on her face, and she looked so cute. He couldn't help but want to tease her again, so he took two steps forward.
Miaoyu immediately retreated and warned in a low voice: "It's not dark yet, someone saw..."
Hehehe...
Jia Lian laughed, and the beauty's tone was obviously becoming more and more unsteady. Seeing that the beauty had her back against the eaves of the wall and had no way to retreat, Jia Lian did not let her go. He still stepped forward, touching her body, and kissed her gently in the ear.
He said, "I'll spare you for now. When I come back, if I deny it again, I will definitely not allow you."
"Um……"
Unexpectedly, Miaoyu responded so well. Jia Lian was so happy that he couldn't help but pecked her lips again, then looked at her carefully, turned around and walked away.
Miaoyu didn't look away until Jia Lian's figure disappeared for a long time, and she slowly squatted down along the corner of the wall, just like she did when she parted with Jia Lian at Xuan Tomb Panxiang Temple. But compared with that time, she was less
A little bit of shame and anger, a little bit of sadness and separation.
In the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, when she saw Jia Lian coming in, Zhen Yuhuan very sensibly found an excuse to leave the main room, but gave Jia Lian and Daiyu a playful look before going out.
Because of this, Daiyu felt a little more embarrassed than usual. When Jia Lian sat down, she pretended to be cold and said: "Didn't you say it? Even if you put it into practice yesterday, you don't have to say goodbye one by one. What are you doing here?"
?”
"Sister Lin is different from others."
The naturalness in her words made Daiyu look down on her face, but she accepted it calmly in her heart.
After thinking for a moment, he turned around and rummaged in the box next to him for a long time before carefully pulling out two things.
Looking back, Jia Lian's eyes lit up, obviously looking forward to it, and she slowly walked over with it, "This is for you. If you don't dislike it, take it."
Jia Lian took it, opened the silk and saw a pair of shoes and a hat with ear protection. Judging from its fine stitching and exquisite style, it was clearly written by Lin Daiyu.
In fact, this was not the first time that Jia Lian received a gift from Daiyu. Even every time he went on a long trip, Daiyu would secretly prepare something for him that she had made by herself. This had even become a habit.
Jia Lian is still thinking about what Daiyu will prepare for him this time.
Yes, these two things are obviously more worthy of a good wife than the previous gloves, gloves, fan pendants and the like.
And seriously speaking, Daiyu is not inferior to Qingwen in terms of dexterity and dexterity, but she is usually too lazy. Even Jia Lian rarely gets things made by Daiyu herself.
Therefore, after getting two pieces, Jia Lian observed them carefully and couldn't help laughing: "Since Sister Lin has prepared a gift for me, why didn't she give it to me before and yesterday? Is it because I won't come today?
Aren’t you going to give it to me?”
Daiyu snorted and said, "I'll make it today. If you don't come today, of course I can't give it to you."
Well, believe it or not.
After wrapping the shoes and stuffing them into her arms, Jia Lian was about to try on the hat made by Daiyu herself. However, the hat was quite delicate, and even when Jia Lian was facing Daiyu's dressing table in the distance, she couldn't put it in order for a while.
When Daiyu saw it, she said: "You are still a Marquis, and you can't even put on a hat. Let me do it."
While talking, Daiyu walked up to Jia Lian, raised her jade arms gently, and gently and dexterously cleaned up Jia Lian.
At Daiyu's age, even if Jia Lian was sitting on a high stool, he was almost the same height as her. At this time, facing Jia Lian, she raised her hands to help him arrange his hat, and then she put her body and mind completely close to Jia Lian, so that Jia Lian could not only
You can smell her unique fragrance and even feel her body temperature.
The only regret is that Daiyu is still too immature after all. Usually when Sister Feng is doing her hairdressing with him, it is easy for him not to recognize the true face of Mount Lu, just because he is in this mountain.
Daiyu didn't notice anything at first, but when she fastened the ear protectors to Jia Lian, she noticed that Jia Lian had a look of intoxication on her face, and she was suddenly shocked to realize that this was such an intimate act, so she hurriedly wanted to retreat.
Unexpectedly, she kicked the stool behind her. Fortunately, before she could panic, Jia Lian, who had quick eyesight and quick hands, had already reached out to catch her back.
Daiyu was stunned, and she became ashamed again. It turned out that Jia Lian had not stood up, but he pulled her back and hugged her whole body with his strong body. She stood obediently in front of Jia Lian, with their faces touching each other.
Up.
Daiyu's body was soft and delicate, and she was very beautiful to hold. But Jia Lian knew that Daiyu was shy, so before she spoke, he deliberately let go of her a little and teased her face to face: "Why are you nervous?"
"Who is nervous? Let go. It will make me feel uncomfortable..."
Naturally, Daiyu did not forbid Jia Lian from hugging her. After all, when she came back from Yangzhou at the beginning of the year, Jia Lian kissed her many times on the ship.
However, before returning home, she had made an agreement with Jia Lian that Jia Lian would not bully her anymore, and there was an outsider in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion now. She would be embarrassed if he was seen.
"I'm leaving early tomorrow morning. I won't be able to see Sister Lin for a long time. Let me hug my Sister Lin. I like her so much."
Jia Lian buried her head in Daiyu's ear and said softly. Daiyu was originally a sentimental person, but when she heard Jia Lian say this, her heart suddenly became full of emotions and her eyes were red. She couldn't bear to refuse Jia Lian.
Jia Lian had taken enough of Daiyu's breath, and suddenly noticed that his cheeks were warm and moist. When he looked up, he found that Daiyu's face was filled with tears at some point. He was shocked and couldn't take advantage anymore.
, quickly wiped her tears and said some nice words to comfort her.
Daiyu just couldn't listen to hurtful words. In fact, she didn't know that Jia Lian wouldn't be gone for long this time, so he would be fine soon.
She even caught a glimpse of the sky getting dark outside, and took the initiative to urge Jia Lian: "Let's go. Sister Feng must still be waiting for you at home. Don't stay outside for too long and make her worry."
Well, Jia Lian took a closer look at Daiyu and saw that he even sat under the west window, picked up a book and started reading. Obviously, he had no time to talk to him anymore. Jia Lian then got up and said how soon he would be back, and asked her not to worry.
Waiting for words, it’s time to go out.
After walking a few steps, he came back again.
"do what?"
Jia Lian smiled, and in the midst of Daiyu's nervous look, he hooked her little head with one hand, kissed her forehead gently, and then left with satisfaction.
