Princess Zhaoyang was called away as soon as she entered the place, and Jia Lian only saw the Queen Mother after being left alone for a long time.
"Jia Lian, do you know your guilt?"
In the quiet inner hall, there were not even a few people in the palace. There were only Jia Lian kneeling on the ground, and the Queen Mother above, although her eyes were stunning, her face was covered with frost.
"I am aware of my guilt."
"Huh. Back then, I thought you were a rare talent and wanted to marry Zhaoyang to you. Who knew that you didn't know what was good for you and dared to resist the decree?
Who would have thought that now you would secretly seduce 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 colder and colder. She looked straight down at Jia Lian below, and it was obvious that she would be furious if the other party gave a bad answer.
"What the Queen Mother is scolding is 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 Jia Lian to be so straightforward and directly expressed her resignation without even a single word of explanation or refutation, which made her somewhat confused as to how to answer the question.
After a long while, 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 so hard just now, I would have reported it to Emperor Ming to punish you for defiling the princess.
We can discuss the punishment later, but 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 Eldest 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 do so."
Jia Lian's straightforwardness once again made the Queen Mother feel ridiculous. If Jia Lian was like this back then, why would she go to all the 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 well aware of the righteousness, and she has already known about 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 a little 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 had prepared a lot of questions. Now, she had no chance to say them out.
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 wedding. One month later, I will see Zhaoyang's wedding.
.
I'll tell you the ugly story first. If you can't do it, or if there is anything you do that dissatisfies me within a month, or make Zhaoyang suffer any grievance, I will not be lenient and will never break my promise.
"
"I obey the decree."
Queen Mother: "..."
If it weren't for the fact that the face underneath was still the same, with the same calm expression as before, 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 sensible Jia Lian, it was just long-winded words. She was too lazy to say anything more, and just said dullly:
"You were on duty in Tianjin as Wei Gong under the emperor's orders. Now that you have returned to Beijing, you should spend time with Zhaoyang.
She is pregnant and this is also your responsibility."
"I understand, thank you Queen Mother for your guidance."
"you……"
Obviously her goal was achieved and Jia Lian did not contradict her again, but the Queen Mother felt uncomfortable all over.
He simply ignored Jia Lian, looked at the screen, and Leng Qiuqiu said: "You can come out too."
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?"
"snort."
Facing 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 in the end, she tried to match them, but she refused and declined, but it didn't work out in the end. Now it's good that the two of them didn't need her to match them up, and they got married secretly.
Looking back, doesn't it seem like she failed more than she succeeded? Moreover, the two of them are now standing on a united front, which makes her look like a different person inside and out.
"I don't have to pursue your matters. But with your grandpa and your father, I don't dare to make any guarantees.
I can help you intercede with your imperial grandfather, but as for your imperial father, you can just 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."
As Princess Zhaoyang spoke, 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 would not be an exaggeration to say she was her mother. She was just a little more intimate in private, but doing so in front of foreign ministers naturally made the aloof Queen Mother feel that it was degrading.
Princess Zhaoyang didn't care at all and continued to hold the Queen Mother Nuwai.
At this moment, an old palace lady said something in the Queen Mother's ear, and the Queen Mother's expression turned cold and she said softly: "Let them come in."
After a while, two maids came and said, "To 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 Empress Dowager said warmly: "The concubine is thoughtful, thank her for me. Come and see the reward."
"Thank you, Queen Mother..."
On this side, Princess Zhaoyang had already walked to Jia Lian and helped Jia Lian up.
Seeing the confusion in Jia Lian's eyes, she explained: "They are from Changchun Palace."
Without even looking at Jia Lian's expression after saying this, he knew that Jia Lian must be even more 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 against my imperial grandmother.
After being banned by Grandpa Huang at the last birthday party, Xu felt repentant and took the initiative to come to my Grandmother to apologize. I don’t know what tricks were used, but my Grandmother stopped arguing with her. The two of them are now very close.
, that one even sends things every now and then to please my imperial grandmother..."
Although in terms of blood relationship, the one from Changchun Palace is closer to Princess Zhaoyang and is her biological grandmother.
But, has anyone ever seen their own grandmother send her own granddaughter away as a sacrificial victim in order to disgust her love rival?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Therefore, it is not surprising that Princess Zhaoyang refers to Concubine Li as "the one from Changchun Palace" in her words.
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 not loving each other next to them.
"If there's nothing wrong with you two, please step back. I'm 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, "Mother, what should I do with this bowl of porridge?"
The Queen Mother glanced at it, and the look in her eyes became colder.
"Take it to the flower slave."
Huanu 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: "Qingran was very happy and very happy about what Erlang said before in Weiyang Palace."
Although she had asked Wang Xifeng to voluntarily give up her position as legitimate wife, she had not discussed it with Jia Lian.
Jia Lian was in Weiyang Palace today. She was able to deal with the Queen Mother's attack so easily. She had obviously thought about all the pros and cons. This shows that she is not the only one who is thinking about their future. Jia Lian also puts this matter into consideration.
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 chuckled: "You can't say that. It was someone who deceived Erlang outside the Great Wall, and also designed to seduce Erlang. Erlang fell into their trick. So I should treat Erlang well."
Jia Lian smiled, what could he say?
Although Princess Zhaoyang was indeed more proactive in the beginning, she was a princess? She was a truly born noble princess, not the kind who only knew magic.
Jia Lian used his scheming skills to pursue some attractive women, but with Princess Zhaoyang, he enjoyed the feeling of being pursued.
How could he not like such a woman?
Princess Zhaoyang didn't know what Jia Lian was thinking, so she joked and said: "Speaking of which, Erlang hasn't visited my princess's mansion yet. It happens to be early today, so why don't Erlang go to my mansion and take a closer look?"
?”
As she said this, Princess Zhaoyang came to Jia Lian's ear mysteriously: "If Erlang agrees, I will have a surprise for Erlang."
Not to mention the temptation of Princess Zhaoyang, but 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 be the one to solve the problem, it will naturally not be a problem.
Emperor Ningkang's place...
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 used him in the same way as before, it means that as long as he is more knowledgeable, 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, and it was true that he had never had a good time wandering around.
So he smiled and said, "Okay."
Princess Zhaoyang looked happy and immediately ordered the carriage to go straight to the princess's residence.
Followed 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. Why not take a bath first, and then
How about I eat with Erlang?"
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 marched through the deep palace, they entered a tall attic. However, they saw that the pavilion was open and there was a white jade pool in the middle. More than a dozen maids were divided into four or five teams, coming and going, going into the pool in an orderly manner.
Fill with hot water.
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.
Not long after the maids dispersed, only the two maids who led the way were left. One on the left and the other on the right, they stepped forward and said with a hint of shyness: "My maids will undress the Marquis."
After saying that, seeing that Jia Lian had no objection, he undressed Jia Lian very carefully.
Fortunately, Jia Lian is not an idle person, and has long been accustomed to enjoying such services. Otherwise, if it were the former Jia Lian, in this situation, with the beautiful palace maid serving and bathing, I am afraid that he would have been distracted and not known where he was.
.
Jia Lian took off his clothes until only his trousers and robes were left, and went down into the warm pool, enjoying the comfort of the hot water soaking all over his skin.
Sensing that someone was approaching, Jia Lian looked back and saw the two little Jiao'es holding handkerchiefs and timidly wiping their bodies, so he stopped paying attention.
I originally thought that would be it. Although I didn't have the comfort of bathing at home with Guai Xiangling and Qiao Qingwen in my arms, this was the princess's mansion. Jia Lian could almost imagine that Princess Zhaoyang would be here, surrounded by countless maids.
Under the service, the bath is fragrant.
Suddenly I heard the sound of light footsteps, and 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 here to perform the dance at the princess's command..."
Faced with the beauty's delicate voice, Jia Lian said softly, "Hmm", and could not help but admire Princess Zhaoyang's magnanimity again.
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 was not afraid of her own whims...
Well, she's really not afraid.
Seeing the dancing girl dancing slowly 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 watch beauties dancing while taking a bath here.
He also wanted to have a bathtub at home, and he also raised several stunning geishas...
Then he shook his head. The bathtub behind Feng Yatou's flower hall is good, but it is too small. It is just suitable for bathing. If you want to take the opportunity to watch the beauty dance, it is 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 passed through three songs in a hurry. I don't know if the beauties are dancing with interest, or they are attracted by Jia Lian's body half-immersed in the water. In short, Jia Lian feels that the beauties' dance is getting more and more fiery and full of charm.
Just when Jia Lian was thinking that Princess Zhaoyang was not present anyway, and even if he caught a beauty and started to molest her, they would not betray him and nothing would happen, Jia Lian, who had ulterior motives, caught a glimpse of the beauty's eyes and expressions.
Movement changes.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Pretending to be careless, he turned around and saw Princess Zhaoyang in light clothes who had entered the pavilion at some point and was walking towards him.
Seeing Jia Lian turn around, Princess Zhaoyang smiled and said, "What do you think of this place, Erlang?"
"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 'Xiaoyuxuan'.
In autumn, it is quite a pleasant experience to rest here and listen to the light rain falling outside."
Jia Lian understood. It was rumored that the old prince was a romantic prince, and he was basically the future king. It was not surprising that he built such a leisure place.
"You all go down."
"yes."
Princess Zhaoyang waved away the maids and dancers, raised her hands to untie the ribbon around her waist, and then pulled her hands back. The layers of silky clothes fell to the ground in response to the movement, revealing her flawless skin.
When Jia Lian heard the sound and turned around, Princess Zhaoyang only had a goose-yellow bellyband and shorts 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 caused 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 an objective evaluation: she is also a woman who has transcended the limitations of this era to a certain extent.
Because Jia Lian could hardly feel the superiority from high-latitude civilization in her.
Her inherent temperament and elegance have surpassed her own appearance and are more charming than a purely beautiful skin.
Princess Zhaoyang, who went down to the pool and was playing with the water with bare hands, noticed Jia Lian's peek and said shyly: "What are you looking at!"
"Qingran is 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."
It was this unanswerable topic again, and Jia Lian knew that she would probably talk about it for the rest of her life.
Helpless, Jia Lian stood up, walked over, took the beautiful princess into his arms, lowered his head 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 with the child."
Jia Lian said: "Actually, it's okay 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."
All right.
Jia Lian had to admit that he was right.
Seeing Jia Lian's face full of sorrow, Princess Zhaoyang found it funny. She took the initiative to put her arms around Jia Lian's neck, kissed him on the face, then put their ears together and said with a chuckle: "Erlang, you still remember, I just said that there is
It’s a surprise for Erlang.”
"oh?"
Jia Lian was surprised. Could it be that the surprise was not just a bath, or arranging for a beautiful woman to dance for him?
Sensing Jia Lian's agitation, Princess Zhaoyang didn't show off too much, and said a little shyly: "I heard from Yuan Yao that Erlang is best at the 'Beauty Plays Xiao' affair, and he also has to make people kneel, which is really bullying."
"Huh? Nonsense, she is just talking nonsense, little hooves, how dare you arrange this..."
Jia Lian's teeth were itching, but there was nothing he could do. 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 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 it's not the case, then forget it..."
this……
Jia Lian turned his head and faced the beauty's face, feeling the beauty's sincerity. Jia Lian hesitated and said: "Although I don't like it very much, but since Qing Ran has an elegant heart, why not let's give it a try?"
Princess Zhaoyang reached out and tapped Jia Lian on the forehead, turned around and left with an angry look on her face.
Jia Lian saw this and quickly stopped him.
Princess Zhaoyang rolled her eyes at him: "Is it possible that Erlang wants Qingran to try in this pool?"
Jia Lian was stunned, but actually he was filled with joy.
…
Xiaoyuxuan is indeed a place of pleasure built by the previous princes.
There is not only a bath, but also a singing stage. Behind the bath, in front of the huge screen, there is also a high table.
On the soft floor, not only were brand-new and clean furs laid out, but there were also brocade quilts and brocade clothes on the couches on both sides.
Jia Lian always felt that Princess Zhaoyang was a girl who planned everything before taking action.
Taking today's incident as an example, he also suspected that the other party had premeditated it.
For example, as soon as he arrived at the princess residence, the ladies prepared a pool full of hot water. For example, all the spare things on the soft couch were ready.
At this time, Jia Lian was casually wearing a large cloak and sitting high on the edge of the sofa.
In front of him, the noble princess, covered with a light gauze, knelt on the carpet, serving him wholeheartedly just like Ping'er at home.
In the empty attic, cold wind occasionally hit Jia Lian's bare chest through his cloak, but it did not bring him any chill.
I don't know how long it took, Princess Zhaoyang straightened up and said reluctantly: "I won't come, my neck is sore."
"This, keep insisting?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Jia Lian has a bitter look on his face. Everyone knows that it is shameful to give up halfway.
If girls like Ping'er, Qingwen and others didn't have this trouble, Jia Lian could forcefully pursue his lust.
But facing Princess Zhaoyang who is on strike, Jia Lian really has no good solution. This girl is so open-minded, if she offends her, her future benefits will probably be gone.
So I can only use good words to persuade.
But Princess Zhaoyang is a woman with very strong opinions. She won't do it if she doesn't want to do it.
Jia Lian couldn't do anything about it. Anyway, this girl's level wasn't that great anyway. At worst, she could just call Ah Qin into the car when she returns home later.
Jia Lian thought with an unhappy face.
"Hehe, 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 Yuan Xi."
"Slave Ziwei."
"You two come in."
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Jia Lian quickly swung his cloak to cover the front and looked at Princess Zhaoyang pretending to be confused.
Princess Zhaoyang seemed unaware, tightened her clothes, sat next to Jia Lian, and said with a smile: "Since I agreed to Erlang, how can I not let Erlang have fun? But it is true that he is tired, so he has to ask someone to do it for him. Erlang won't mind.
Bar?"
"It's just that Qing Ran is tired. In this case, there is no need to..."
Even so, the strange color in Jia Lian's eyes was still revealed involuntarily. He also hugged Princess Zhaoyang with his right hand and caressed her waist to show his 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 behind the closed door.
"What are you doing with the pestle? You haven't come up yet."
"yes."
Two palace maids in tight corsets 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 in general, clean and neat.
It just looks familiar, I think I've seen it before.
"Both of them are people who have followed me for many years. They are also two of the sixteen swordsmen I brought to Erlang's camp today. Do you think Erlang is still good at it?"
What can Jia Lian say? Not to mention that these two girls are good, even if they are not satisfactory, he has 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: "Are you two willing to serve the Marquis?"
In this situation, the service mentioned by the princess 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 was handsome and unrestrained, and was a world-famous hero, but even their princesses were willing to commit themselves to each other, so what didn't they want to do?
?
Besides, there was no room for them to disobey the princess's orders.
"Since you are willing, why not come over."
"yes……"
The empty hall was quieter than before, yet seemed more charming.
