Chapter 1689: Chai Dai Gives Birth to a Child
Time flies, seasons change, and before we know it, a month has passed and it is the Mid-Autumn Festival in August in the first year of Qiande in the Han Dynasty.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is a season for family reunions.
The chaos in Jiangnan where distant vassal kings joined forces with retired civil officials to rebel also came to an end. This major case of treason shocked the entire capital, mainly because of the speed with which the court put down the rebellion, which was almost decided overnight, with a force as powerful as thunder.
The criminals involved in the case in Jiangnan were also taken to the capital by the Jinyiwei to be questioned, and for a time, many people were implicated.
The King of Wu and Hao Jiru and others were escorted to the capital for execution, and their three clans were exterminated. As for the other related accomplices in the rebellion, they were also imprisoned one after another, and their families were sent to the capital and infiltrated into the Music Bureau.
Under the relentless investigation of the Jinyifu, this case involved nearly 20,000 people, and the case was not completely concluded until the spring of the fourth year of Qiande.
It can be said that almost the entire Jiangnan officialdom was bloodbathed.
The undercurrents that had been quietly surging in the capital city also subsided again. After Prince Wei assisted in the administration, he suppressed the rebellions in Bashu and Jiangnan with iron and blood. No one in the court or the public dared to confront him head-on.
Shenjing City, Ningguo Mansion——
The entire Jia Mansion was shrouded in a warm atmosphere of celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival, with lights and decorations all over the place, and the atmosphere was full of joy.
The servants in Ningguo Mansion also knew that the thrilling battle in Jiangnan had already won the victory.
The prince of the family won another great victory. From then on, the wealth of the Jia family was as solid as a rock and could not be shaken.
In fact, as Jia Heng became the regent who was second only to the emperor, all the servants in the Jia family were able to prosper.
Of course, under Jia Heng's strict requirements, the servants of the Jia family did not dare to bully men and women in Shenjing.
Jia Heng walked quickly into the backyard, stared at Chen Xiao who was playing chess with Gu Ruoqing, and said in a gentle voice: "Xiaoxiao, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the family should celebrate it well."
Chen Xiao's snow-white face was a bit dazed, his eyes were deep, and he whispered, "Yes, it's been many years."
As she spoke, the beauty reached out and gently stroked her slightly bulging belly, feeling a sense of inexplicable emotion in her heart.
She didn't seem to have celebrated many Mid-Autumn Festivals in these years. Now that the world is finally at peace, she can finally have some free time.
……
……
On this side, Jia Heng talked with Chen Xiao and Gu Ruoqing for a while, and without saying anything else, he went towards the Qichi Garden of the Grand View Garden.
Grand View Garden, Qichi Garden
Zhen Lan and Zhen Xi were playing chess across an apricot-yellow chessboard. Back then, they were just little girls of thirteen or fourteen years old, but now they have shed their youthfulness and childishness and become dignified and elegant ladies.
Zhen Xi put down a chess piece, raised her eyes to look at Zhen Xi opposite her, and said softly: "Sister Lan, it seems that everyone in the backyard is pregnant."
Zhen Lanyu's face flushed, and she jokingly said, "Why, sister wants a child too."
Zhen Xi said softly with a hint of shyness in her voice, "Sister Lan'er, my stomach hasn't moved yet."
Zhen Lan sighed faintly and said, "Sister, am I not the same?"
As she spoke, she gently stroked her abdomen, and her snow-white, jade-like face also showed resentment and loneliness.
Zhen Xi's beautiful eyes flickered under her emerald eyebrows, and she said in a gentle voice, "During this period of time..."
At this moment, a young maid came from outside, interrupted Zhen Xi's words, and said, "Princess, Prince Wei is here."
Hearing this, the two Lanxi sisters couldn't help but feel delighted.
Soon, the young man in the python robe was seen walking quickly from outside. He had a vigorous step and a hurried look, and a thoughtful look appeared on his resolute and calm face.
"Brother Heng, you're here." Zhen Lan quickly stood up, looked at Jia Heng with a smile on her face, and called out softly.
Jia Heng stared at the girl with a cool and elegant temperament and a quiet and lovely girl, and said with a smile: "Sister Lan, and Sister Xier, they are playing chess."
Zhen Xi put down the chess piece in her hand, slowly stood up, looked at Jia Heng, with a look of joy and brightness in her eyes.
Zhen Lan chuckled and said, "I have nothing to do, so I play a game of chess with my sister. Why is Brother Heng so free today?"
Jia Heng nodded and said, "I'll come to see you after I finish my work outside."
As he spoke, he walked closer, took Zhen Lan's slender hand, took Zhen Xi's white and tender hand with his other hand, and sat down on the Arhat bed.
Zhen Lan's beautiful eyes showed concern, and she whispered, "Your Highness, I heard that Jiangnan's situation has been predicted."
As the most enterprising woman among Jia Heng's women in Ningguo Mansion, she naturally always pays attention to the news outside the Shenjing city.
Jia Heng gently took Zhen Lan's slender hand, looked at the face that gradually resembled Zhen Qing, and whispered: "The matter in Jiangnan is over. The King of Wu and the Hao family and other related criminals have been captured by the imperial army, and Jinling City has returned to the rule of the imperial court."
Zhen Lan's face lost its childishness and she gradually became more graceful and beautiful, with her eyebrows and eyes undoubtedly becoming more feminine.
Zhen Lan said: "This is really a happy event. Once Jiangnan is pacified, there should be no more major troubles in the world from now on."
It seems that it won’t be long before Brother Heng can make further progress.
But her belly is still not moving, how can she maintain her favor in the future?
Jia Heng looked at Zhen Xi who was standing beside him. He met her bright eyes that were as clear as a stream and still as bright as before. He smiled and said, "Sister Xi'er, do you want a child?"
Zhen Lan chuckled and said jokingly, "Xi'er has been saying these days that there is good news coming one after another in the backyard, so why is there no good news in Qichiyuan?"
Jia Heng laughed and said, "This is my fault."
Zhen Lan snorted softly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her charming eyes, and said in a gentle voice: "Brother Heng is indeed partial to one and not to the other."
Jia Heng smiled and said, "Didn't we just have a fight last time?"
Zhen Lan's beautiful eyes were filled with gentle waves, and she said softly, "How can I be that fast?"
Jia Heng hummed softly, then gently put his arm around Zhen Lan's shoulders, kissed her soft and slightly moist lips, and captured the sweet and delicious breath.
Zhen Lan moaned repeatedly, her delicate body gradually softened into a ball, and mist rose in her beautiful eyes.
Zhen Xi, on the other hand, also had a blushing face.
Although they have been married for many years, Zhen Xi is a shy person by nature, so she still felt inexplicably shy when she saw this scene.
While Jia Heng was speaking, he reached out and took Zhen Lan and Zhen Xi's slender hands and walked towards the side room.
……
……
In Qi's residence, the night was falling and the lights were dim.
It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and a bright moon could be seen hanging high in the sky. The wealthy family next door shot fireworks into the sky, which exploded in the air. The fireworks were colorful and gorgeous.
As the chief minister of the cabinet, Qi Kun was the first to receive the news of the great victory of the court in Jiangnan. His face was filled with sorrow and his eyes were full of worry.
King Wei, the situation is irreversible. It is only a matter of time before you replace the Han Dynasty and establish your own regime.
Qi Kun thought so, frowning slightly, and felt that a pitch-black darkness was enveloping him.
Who could tell him how he should face the situation where a treacherous king usurped the throne?
As for the new school of thought, it is clearly claiming to be a saint, but it is practicing heresy and is not intended to bring disaster to the world.
Under Qi Kun's thick eyebrows, a hint of worry appeared in his bright eyes.
Moreover, Annan Hou Ye Zhen's reactions were also surprising. If we think of the previous "mutiny" by Shanhai Hou Cao Bianjiao, it is almost chilling.
……
……
In the year that is about to pass, the official road renovation project of the Han Dynasty is in full swing. The official road from Chang'an to Luoyang was completed first. The official road paved with stone and mud from Chang'an to Luoyang is extremely spacious. This official road has proved to the people of the entire Han Dynasty the necessity of renovating the official roads.
It can be imagined that if the official road was built from Luoyang to Jinling, the road connecting the north and south regions would undoubtedly be more convenient and smoother.
The entire Han Dynasty seemed to have undergone earth-shaking changes, with merchants escorting goods from south to north to Chang'an.
In early September, the weather is clear and the sky is bright with few clouds.
On this day, many people gathered outside Hengwu Garden, and Aunt Xue stood outside, her fair face full of nervousness and joy.
The maids in the warm room were carrying basins of hot water back and forth, while the midwife in the side room grabbed Baochai's hand and said, "Princess, use more force."
Jia Heng also walked quickly from the study to the backyard at this moment. Facing Aunt Xue's gaze, he whispered, "Sister Xue, how is it in there?"
Aunt Xue's fair and sparkling face was covered with an eager smile, and she said, "Heng'er, you've come just in time. Bao'er is giving birth right now."
Jia Heng turned his head towards the wing room and nodded slightly, worry showing in his eyes.
After a while, accompanied by the sound of the baby crying, the midwife came running out, her face full of joy, and said, "Your Highness, mother and child are safe, mother and child are safe."
Aunt Xue rushed forward, grabbed the midwife's hand, and asked, "Is it a boy or a girl?"
The midwife smiled and said softly, "Madam, it's a big fat boy."
As soon as these words came out, Aunt Xue was overjoyed and kept saying, "Good, good, good! Reward, reward!!!"
As she spoke, Aunt Xue looked at Tongxi and Tonggui standing by and said, "Hurry up and go to the accounting office to prepare the silver and distribute the rewards to the people."
Now that Bao has a son, this child will at least be a prince. If Keqing has not given birth to a boy, then this child will most likely be a prince.
Jia Heng turned his head to look at the midwife and said, "I'll go in and take a look."
Upon hearing this, the midwife hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the delivery room is an unclean place, you can't..."
Before she could finish her words, she saw the young man in the python robe walk into the delivery room without saying a word.
At this moment, Baochai's smooth forehead and temples were covered with sweat, and her plump and lovely face was as pale as paper. But when she looked at the baby with wrinkled face after being washed by the midwife, there was a hint of joy in her beautiful and clear eyes.
This is her child, a son.
"The prince is here." Ying'er entered the room and said happily to Baochai.
A broad smile covered Baochai's plump face, as white as snow. When she turned her head, she saw the young man in the python robe walking around a brocade screen, his heroic face showing a resolute look.
Baochai was delighted and called out softly, "Prince."
Jia Heng looked at Baochai, whose forehead was covered with sweat, smiled and said, "Sister Xue, I came to see you and the child."
As they were talking, Jia Heng came closer, took Baochai's delicate hand, and said, "Sister Xue, you have worked hard."
Then, he looked at the baby boy in the cradle beside him and said, "You are such a big fat boy."
Well, this is his nth child?
For a moment he really couldn't remember clearly. In his mind he had the whole country and on his shoulders were the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Han Dynasty. He really couldn't remember these clearly.
Baochai raised her eyes to look at the young man in the python robe with clear eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were soft and full of infatuation, and she said, "My lord."
After having Jia Heng's child, Concubine Xue's eyes and eyebrows exuded more maternal love.
Jia Heng nodded, gently took Baochai's soft hand, and said, "Take good care of yourself these days. I will come to see you."
Baochai uttered a soft "hmm", and her snow-white face was filled with a happy, sweet smile.
Jia Heng was about to say something else.
At this moment, a maid came from outside with a look of joy on her face and whispered, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Miss Lin has given birth."
Jia Heng: "..."
Well, it’s true that Chai and Dai went to give birth on the same day.
Although Baochai was somewhat reluctant to leave Jia Heng, she still regarded herself as virtuous and considerate, and smiled as she said, "My Lord, go and see Xian'er."
Jia Heng reached out and gently took Baochai's slender hand, feeling it was so soft, and whispered, "Then I'll come to see you later."
Baochai uttered a soft "hmm", looked at Jia Heng with affection, and watched him leave reluctantly.
As he spoke, Jia Heng turned and left the hall, heading towards the Xiaoxiang Pavilion hidden among the bamboo forest.
Grand View Garden, Xiaoxiang Pavilion——
The bamboo forest rustled, the waves formed into green waves, and the breeze blew slowly, bringing a bit of coolness. Outside the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, there were also a group of maids and servants standing.
Under the eaves outside the wing room, a group of maids were coming in and out. Ping'er was directing the servants not far away. She turned around and saw Jia Heng. She went up to him and said happily, "My lord, you are here."
Jia Heng asked, "Ping'er, how is Sister Lin doing now?"
"The midwife has already gone in and has been preparing for it." Ping'er said softly.
Jia Heng's calm face showed concern, and his eyes were fixed on the room.
Daiyu has always been weak in character, and it is not known whether she can endure the pain of childbirth, but this is undoubtedly also a life transformation for the Immortal Herb Crimson Pearl.
At this moment, in the beautifully decorated room, Daiyu was lying on the soft couch with her hair loose. Her face, as white as snow, was covered with rosy clouds on both sides. Her smooth forehead and temples were covered with sweat, and her beautiful hair stuck to her temples, wet with sweat.
Two slender hands tightly grasped the sheets, with white joints, clearly trying to gain leverage to give birth to the baby.
I don't know how long it took, "Ah, ah..."
With the loud cry of the baby, Daiyu's heart couldn't help but relax. At this moment, beads of sweat the size of soybeans oozed out of the beautiful woman's smooth forehead.
The beauty slowly opened her bright eyes, looked at the midwife, and asked in a weak and hoarse voice, "Is it a boy or a girl?"
The midwife looked at Daiyu with joy and said, "Congratulations, princess, it's a daughter."
When Daiyu heard this, her heart was slightly moved, and she was indeed a little disappointed in her heart.
She thought it might be a big fat boy.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps was faintly heard from outside, and then the young man in the python robe could be seen walking quickly towards him, with a cheerful look on his familiar handsome face.
"Sister Lin, thank you for your hard work."
While Jia Heng was speaking, he walked quickly forward, held Daiyu's slender hands, looked at her sweaty, red face, and felt an inexplicable joy in his heart.
Jia Heng asked, "Sister Lin."
Daiyu said with a somewhat aggrieved tone: "Brother Heng, it's a girl."
Jia Heng chuckled and said, "Sister Lin, the girl looks more like Sister Lin. I like her better."
Daiyu responded softly, and felt better. Then she seemed to remember something and asked, "Has Sister Bao given birth? I wonder if it's a boy or a girl."
Jia Heng's clear eyes flickered under his sword-like brows, and he whispered, "It's a boy."
Daiyu: "..."
So the boy she didn't give birth to was given birth to by Sister Bao, right?
Jia Heng smiled and whispered, "Well, if you also want a boy, it's not like you can't have one in the future."
Daiyu uttered a soft "hmm", and a look of shame and annoyance seemed to cover both sides of her fragrant and delicate face.
She will have more children in the future...
Jia Heng took Daiyu's slender hand and said with a smile, "Sister Lin, let's go see the child."
At this moment, the midwife had already washed the baby clean of the amniotic fluid and handed the baby over. Her wrinkled face was almost smiling as she said, "My lord, look at the little princess. Her eyebrows, eyes and nose are so much like you."
Jia Heng smiled and said, "I think she looks more like Lin Daiyu."
Daiyu looked at the little girl quietly with warm eyes, and a sense of blood connection and closeness surged in her heart.
At this moment, Jia Heng was also looking at the little life, and a feeling of joy surged in his heart.
This little girl really looks like Daiyu. I wonder what her personality will be like in the future. Maybe she will also be weak and fragile.
Daiyu's expression paused slightly. Under her eyebrows that looked like willow leaves and clouds, her bright eyes smiled brightly. She said softly, "This girl's eyebrows and eyes really look a bit like mine."
"If your own daughter doesn't look like you, who else can she look like?" Jia Heng joked with a smile.
At this moment, Jia Heng gently held the baby girl's soft little hand, and looking at the infant with a sweet fragrance, he loved her even more.
Although he already had many daughters, the one born by Daiyu was still a special one.
Jia Heng and Daiyu played with the baby girl for a while. Jia Heng turned to look at Daiyu and said, "Sister Lin, you must be a little sleepy now. Take a rest first."
Daiyu hummed softly, and felt tired. Her eyelids became somewhat heavy. When she lowered her eyes, she fell asleep in a short while.
Jia Heng stared at the flawless face that was as beautiful as the bright moon, and a feeling of emotion welled up in his heart.
It has been ten years since he came to this world. Chai and Dai have now given birth to children for him. Life is like this, what more could a man ask for?
Jia Heng stayed in Xiaoxiang Pavilion for a while and then went to Hengwu Garden.
At this moment, in Hengwu Garden, Aunt Xue was smiling from ear to ear. She looked at the baby boy in the cradle with a smile, and all kinds of fantasies surged in her mind.
Her dear grandson will become a prince in the future.
Baochai was standing by, also smiling as she watched her mother playing with the baby in the cradle, but she couldn't help but be curious about what was going on at Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
I don't know whether it was a boy or a girl.
At this moment, the maid outside came over and said, "Princess, the prince is back."
When Baochai heard the words, she looked in the direction of the voice and saw the young man in the python robe coming from outside, with a thoughtful look on his resolute face.
Jia Heng looked at Baochai lying on the bed, walked closer and said, "Sister Xue."
Baochai asked, "My Lord, how is Xi'er doing?"
"Mother and child are safe, and a daughter was born." Jia Heng chuckled and said.
After hearing these words, Aunt Xue, who was holding the baby girl beside her, couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Miss Lin only gave birth to a daughter. Even if she has a son in the future, he will not be the eldest son.
Now Baoyatou has given birth to her eldest son.
Of course, this applies regardless of Princess Xianning's lineage.
Jia Heng came forward and sat down, gently took Baochai's slender hand, looked at her pale and bloodless face, and said, "You and Sister Lin can spend the confinement period together, so you can talk and relieve your boredom."
Baochai hummed and said in a low voice: "My Lord, I haven't seen her for a while."
Jia Heng reached out and held Baochai's soft and delicate hand, stared at her face which was as white and flawless as a pear blossom, and said, "Sister Xue, you have worked so hard during this period."
Baochai said softly, "I'm not tired."
On this side, Aunt Xue also tactfully winked at the maid beside her and left the room, leaving the space for the couple.
