The Red Mansions

Chapter 94 The world is like a chess game

Listening to the eldest princess' jokes, Jia Heng smiled lightly. Although his expression was cold, his smile was like the warm sun in the cold winter. He looked gratefully at the beauty in the palace costume opposite, and said, "Thank you very much." Your Highness will protect and take care of you."

No matter what, even though he didn't really want to follow the path of the eldest princess in his heart, but now that things have come to this point, he finally won the favor of the emperor.

Besides, it seems a bit hypocritical to talk about being lucky to be a woman.

There are nine out of ten unsatisfactory things in life, and there are always one or two things in the world that do not go as you want.

The eldest princess of Jinyang smiled softly, Gu Pan Liubo's beautiful eyes reflected the thin figure of the young man in green clothes, and said: "What are you doing so ignorantly? The manuscript of the Three Kingdoms was published in Hanmozhai. It is considered as one body with this palace, we are closely related, and now I have shown my face in front of the emperor brother, this palace is also honored."

Jia Heng nodded, and his gaze also had a somewhat different meaning, um, of course it was not some "unreasonable thought", but to clarify some doubts in his heart about Princess Jinyang.

This woman really has other plans.

Because what Princess Jinyang said was a signal that although she didn't say it bluntly, she silently finalized the relationship between the recommender and the disciple with an almost natural default attitude.

Jia Heng was silent for a moment, raised his eyes, looked at Princess Jinyang, met those bright and clear narrow phoenix eyes, looked at each other for a moment, and said in a clear voice: "What Your Highness said is reasonable."

So far, Princess Jinyang has treated him well.

As for the way of recommendation, in the final analysis, it is just a way to become known to the emperor, and he is not someone's personal vassal from now on.

As long as he "people vote for my papaya, I will repay it with Qiongju", the rest... can only be left for future calculations.

Thinking like this, Jia Heng couldn't help lowering his eyes, and couldn't help but glanced at the exquisite jade-like beauty under the collarbone, secretly said "Si Wuxie", his face was indifferent, thinking whether he should go home Boil some papaya soup for Keqing.

Catching the complicated eyes of the young man in green shirt, Qinghe Princess Li Chanyue's crystal-clear eyes flickered, and there was frost on her white and greasy face, and her hands hidden in her sleeves tightened. This is Jia Heng, It really is a bad intention.

I saw her mother today... a total of three times, although each time she didn't stay for a moment, and her face was pretending to be stern, she thought she was hiding, but she watched them coldly and saw clearly!
Princess Jinyang didn't seem to doubt that there was him, and on her charming and bright face, there was a never-ending smile, and she said softly: "Wait a minute, it's time for dinner, it's not as good as coming." In the mansion, I will prepare a small banquet for Mr. Jia?"

Jia Heng said: "Your Highness is so kind, I shouldn't refuse, but the humble Jing at home is still leaning on the door."

When Princess Jinyang heard the words, Yurong was stunned, and then her beautiful eyes were full of smiles, and she said softly: "My palace is abrupt, so let the carriage take you to Ningrong Street later?"

Because Princess Jinyang's Princess Mansion is not far from the imperial city, but it is closer to the imperial city than the honorable Second Duke Ning Rong.

From the distance from the center of politics and power, we can actually get a glimpse of the content of the noble class of the Han Dynasty.

Jia Heng smiled, and said warmly: "Your Highness, there is no need for this. I will wait in front of the Princess Mansion and just walk around alone."

In the previous face-to-face with Emperor Chongping, every sentence had to be weighed carefully, which took a lot of effort. He also wanted to sort out his thoughts, think about the purpose of Emperor Chongping's gift of silk, and prepare for the next step.

As if seeing the serious thoughts on Jia Heng's calm face, Princess Jinyang's beautiful eyes flickered under her beautiful black eyebrows, but she didn't insist anymore, and said with a light smile: "That's fine, tomorrow, Xiahou from my house Ying will visit the mansion, and you can tell her any graphic books, maps and local chronicles you need, and let her help you collect and retrieve them from the Ministry of War."

Jia Heng cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Princess Jinyang smiled, but didn't say anything.

At this time, Lian Xue, the maid outside the carriage, said softly: "Princess, we are in front of the Lane Mansion."

Jia Heng cupped his hands at Princess Jinyang, got out of the carriage, bid farewell and left.

As for the silk rewarded by Emperor Chongping, it will be brought to the courtyard tomorrow by the inner eunuch.

Through the bamboo curtain, the eldest princess watched the young man in green gown go away by the glowing lights.

"Mother, this Jia Heng's eyes were dishonest just now, peeking at you..." Li Chanyue's cherry lips moved, but she couldn't hold back after all, she thought it would be good to tell her mother to be on guard.

Princess Jinyang was stunned for a moment, and the hibiscus jade face under the beautiful black eyebrows had a gloomy expression, and said softly: "Mother knows."

She doesn't know her own appearance, women are very sensitive to men's "appreciation" eyes, and she even responds to where the boy's eyes linger just now.

Speaking of which, she was also quite distressed, obviously already wrapped several times with cloth strips.

Li Chanyueyu looked sullen, pursed her red lips, snorted softly, and said: "This Jia Heng is not a good person, even worse than those famous people my mother knew before!"

Princess Jinyang rubbed her daughter's bangs, and said with a light smile, "Young Mu Ai, as long as your mind is clear, nothing else matters."

She didn't feel offended.

Chanyue didn't know, even those celebrities, how dirty their thoughts should be?

……

……

Jia Heng walked in a car and walked along the street to the mansion, because the lights were brilliant along the way, and the light and shade intertwined, in fact, there was no need to carry the lantern with the words "Princess Jinyang" in his hand.

However, Liancai still gave him one just now, saying that if he meets a soldier from Wucheng Bingmasi on the road and sees the lantern in his hand, he can also rely on him.

As he said, at the root of the imperial city, he met several groups of night watchmen from the five city soldiers and horses. When he saw Jia Heng's lantern, he didn't question him.

Jia Heng walked along the street all the way, noisy and noisy, brightly lit, until it was completely silent, there were a few barking dogs on the street from time to time, entered the willow lane of Ningrong Street, walked into the house, and was about to climb up the steps, The light in his eyes moved slightly, and there was a light flickering in his mind.

After thinking all the way, he has figured out the meaning of the emperor.

"Jia's Mansion? Ningguo Mansion..." Jia Heng's expression was serious, with a hint of helplessness in his heart.

If he didn't guess wrong, the emperor would not watch him leave the Jia clan.

The small-scale political disputes caused by the four kings and eight princes in the past few days have been exhausted. Jia Zhen can give up, but the title cannot be lost, otherwise the four princes and eight princes will feel a crisis.

If we stand in the position of Emperor Chongping and let him inherit the title as a branch of Ningguo, he will not be tolerated by the Jia family from now on.

"I hope this is just my guess." Jia Heng's eyes darkened.

From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to jump into the pit of Jia's mansion again, and the matter of accepting the title was against his wishes.

But the world is like a new game of chess.

If his idea is false, it's nothing more than wishful thinking, and no one can say anything, but if the emperor really has this intention, he must make a plan to fight against the Rongguo Mansion.

This is the disadvantage of seeing the emperor, because the emperor often asks his courtiers to do things that are in his interests, but may not be very in line with the minds of his courtiers.

Even if he appreciates this courtier!

Because, in the game of chess in the world, the courtiers are the chess pieces. According to their abilities and roles, they are nothing more than the difference between chariots, horses and cannons, and soldiers.

No matter how much he tossed about in this game of chess, in the end it was nothing more than the difference between a pawn and a rook.

Even if it is a rook, do chess players need to consider how the rook feels?
Let me ask, if necessary in order to win chess, can the rook be discarded?
Perhaps in the eyes of the emperor, I gave you the title of Ningguo. What kind of emperor's grace is this?

"Tomorrow, I'll ask about the expulsion." Jia Heng felt that if he hadn't figured out the emperor's mind before the imperial decree came down, if Jia's family were to expel the expulsion...

In the East Wing, the lights were still on, and the double happiness characters on the doors and windows still silently described the wedding atmosphere of the previous few days.

Qin Keqing stood in front of the door for a while.

"Grandma...it's cold at night, be careful not to catch a cold."

At this time, the servant girl Baozhu came lightly from the side, holding a set of light green brocade cloak in her hand, which was the dowry clothes brought from Qin Keqing's natal family.
