The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Chapter 618 Domineering Crown Princess
In the inner palace of Chonghua Palace, under the crabapple tree, Princess Zhaoyang is wearing a beautiful long dress, and her tall figure is more beautiful than flowers.

So when Jia Lian approached, he couldn't help staring at her handsome face.

This action made the originally generous Princess Zhaoyang a little ashamed, she couldn't help lowering her head and asked: "What is Erlang looking at, could it be that he doesn't recognize Zhaoyang after seeing him for a few days?"

"Let's say a few days, even if I don't see her for 100 or 1000 years, I can't possibly not recognize Qingran. I just feel that Qingran seems to have become more beautiful after only a few days."

"Liar."

The love words from the lover are like the sweetest poison, so even though Princess Zhaoyang knows it is harmful, she still can't help but like to listen to it.

"Really, I didn't lie to you. If you don't believe me, you can ask my heart. It will never lie."

Jia Lian approached Princess Zhaoyang, took her bare hand and put it on his chest, he knew that most women like this.

Sure enough, this made Princess Zhaoyang blush and heartbeat, and she regretted calling Jia Lian over, making her so at a loss.

After finally suppressing the restless emotions, she rolled Jia Lian's eyes and said seriously, "What does Erlang think about what happened in Chonghua Palace?"

When Jia Lian heard this, she frowned.He didn't ask how Princess Zhaoyang learned about the things in the Chonghua Palace, because he knew that this was exactly what Duke Zhaoyang had been focusing on this year since returning to Beijing.

Now that she can know what happened in Chonghua Palace so quickly, it just shows her achievements in the past year.It also explained that the 50 taels of silver he gave her was not in vain.

"The power of the sky is unpredictable. This is a matter between His Majesty and the Supreme Emperor. It doesn't matter what I think."

After all, Princess Zhaoyang is a princess. It is difficult for Jia Lian to explain this kind of matter that involves the logic of struggle at the top of the royal family. It is enough for each of them to understand.

Sure enough, Princess Zhaoyang didn't ask, she sighed: "Who would have expected that such an accident would happen at the end of this matter. In this way, I'm afraid that all my previous efforts will be in vain.

I'm not afraid of Erlang's jokes, now I don't dare to see my father. "

Princess Zhaoyang laughed at herself.Jia Lian could understand what she meant, but it was Princess Zhaoyang who vowed to share the worries for Emperor Ningkang and took the initiative to take over the important task of lobbying the clan.

Who would have thought that there would be such a mistake in the end.Those clan lords have collectively backed off today and dealt a blow to Emperor Ningkang. If Emperor Ningkang took his anger out on him, Princess Zhaoyang would naturally have to bear the blame.

In order to restore Princess Zhaoyang's confidence, Jia Lian comforted: "Qingran doesn't need to blame himself too much. Those princes of the clan are easy to get along with. Looking at today's events, I'm afraid they have already had an excuse in their hearts. The power of the Supreme Emperor has come to oppose the clearing of the land.

This is not to blame Qingran.At least Qingran can make them no longer oppose His Majesty's plan to clear up the fields, which is already very powerful. As for today's change, even His Majesty did not expect it, so how can Qingran be blamed? "

Princess Zhaoyang laughed and said, "It would be great if Father would like Qingran as much as you do."

Jia Lian also laughed when he heard the words, but said: "It's right for Qingran not to see His Majesty now, His Majesty must be in a bad mood right now, anyone who goes to see him is prone to bad luck, and His Majesty's mood will be better after a while After that, please go and say hello."

"Erlang is right, let's listen to Erlang. For the past few days, I will hide here with the queen mother for a few days."

Princess Zhaoyang gave a playful smile, and then suddenly asked, "Does Erlang know where this is?"

Jia Lian glanced around, and saw that the surrounding scenery was good, the rockery and vegetation were pruned and arranged very skillfully, guessing that it should be a small garden in Chonghua Palace.

"This is a small courtyard attached to Weiyang Palace. It was specially prepared by the Empress Dowager for me when I was a child. From here, it is the Zhaoyang Palace where I used to live." Princess Zhaoyang explained with nostalgia.

Jia Lian understood, he knew that Princess Zhaoyang had been raised by the Queen Mother's side since she was a child, so this place should be the place she is most familiar with.No wonder she summoned him here today under the guise of the Queen Mother.

"The layout here is very beautiful and has aura. No wonder Qingran is so beautiful. It must be because she grew up in this beautiful place and was nourished by the aura here."

"Hehehe, Erlang can really talk."

Princess Zhaoyang smiled, and suddenly moved closer, and said softly: "Then, Erlang, do you want to go to Zhaoyang Palace and see what the place where I lived since I was a child is like..."

"Okay, I can't ask for it."

Princess Zhaoyang just laughed, but she didn't really mean to lead Jia Lian into Weiyang Palace.

Just because she was able to drive away the people nearby doesn't mean she can cover the sky with one hand in Weiyang Palace.There are a lot of people over there now, if you bring Jia Lian there, the probability of being discovered is too high.

To express her apology, Princess Zhaoyang looked at Jia Lian's face, suddenly stood on tiptoe, and kissed Jia Lian's face.

As Princess Zhaoyang approached, Jia Lian could smell her fragrance.This fragrance is very faint, but it can easily arouse people's daydreams, and when the cold touch came from the cheeks, Jia Lian could no longer remain indifferent, hugged Princess Zhaoyang by the waist, bowed her head and kissed her.

Under the lover's kiss and caress, Princess Zhaoyang soon found that she was pushed against the wall of the small courtyard, and her hands were also pressed on top of her head by the lover. She was completely suppressed and conquered, which made her a little embarrassed , turned his head and said: "Not here, someone will bump into you later."

Princess Zhaoyang was worried that she would have concerns about asking Jia Lian to meet Jia Lian here privately, but she still underestimated Jia Lian's courage.He actually dared to bully her within the scope of Weiyang Palace, wouldn't he be afraid of being known by the Queen Mother and peeling his skin?
Jia Lian glanced around, it was secluded here, surrounded by dense crabapple trees, it was as secret as the groves of later generations.

Moreover, in such an environment, having sex with the princess of the current dynasty is even more exciting.Jia Lian didn't want to endure the lust aroused by the beautiful woman, and was about to say something flirtatious, when he suddenly heard a somewhat familiar shout coming from the other side of the courtyard wall.

Princess Zhaoyang heard it too, she turned her head and looked, "It seems that someone is calling for help..."

"Ah."

Princess Zhaoyang was trying to use this as an excuse to dispel Jia Lian's idea of ​​belittling her, when she saw Jia Lian let go of her on her own initiative, then he glanced at the closed courtyard, stepped on the old crabapple flower tree next to him, and turned back Leap, grabbing the wall and leaping over.

Princess Zhaoyang just wanted to remind him that it is forbidden to climb over the wall in the palace, and the consequences of being caught by the guards will be very serious.But then she gave up, stood up straight and straightened her clothes, and then imitated Jia Lian's moves and followed.

But he said that Jia Lian had just climbed over the wall and saw a wide avenue outside.On the wooden bridge not far away, several court ladies pushed and jostled together, and one of them was begging anxiously.

Jia Lian only glanced at him, his expression changed, and he hurriedly ran after him.

"Ah, Lord Marquis! Hurry up and save our young lady, she fell into the water, right there..."

When the maid who was being pulled by several court ladies saw Jia Lian, she was overjoyed and shouted quickly.

Without her reminding, Jia Lian had already seen the movement in the small river, without hesitation, Jia Lian took off the cloak on his body in a few strides, then jumped into the water, hugged the girl who was struggling in the water, and brought her back to the shore side.

The girl who fell into the water was actually Zhen Yuhuan!At this time, she was covered in mud and water, with tears in her face and shivering from the cold, looking embarrassed and pitiful.

She was still in shock, but she just grabbed the person in front of her tightly, until Jia Lian pityfully pushed away the wet hair that covered her eyes, and she didn't see who saved her.

At this moment, infinite grievances and hesitation came to her heart, and she threw herself into Jia Lian's arms, crying: "Brother Yi, woo woo woo..."

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Jia Lian held Zhen Yuhuan, who was obviously overly frightened, in his arms, and then had time to look around.

Zhen Yuhuan's maid had already broken free and rushed over, and behind her, a young woman in extremely gorgeous clothes, surrounded by several court ladies, came over proudly.

She looked Jia Lian from beginning to end, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.When she saw Zhen Yuhuan who was snuggling tightly in Jia Lian's arms, her complexion became extremely gloomy again.

She looked at Jia Lian condescendingly: "Who are you, how dare you trespass into the Forbidden Palace?"

Although Jia Lian didn't recognize this woman, he could guess a little from her attire and the obvious fear of Zhen Yuhuan's master and servant.

He ignored her, but took the cloak from the servant girl and wrapped it around Zhen Yuhuan, and then quietly waited for Princess Zhaoyang who was slowly approaching from a distance.

"Bold, I asked you something, why didn't you answer?"

Seeing Jia Lian ignoring her, the woman in palace costume was very annoyed and scolded in a cold voice.

"Sister-in-law Huang's yelling like this doesn't seem to be in line with royal etiquette."

The woman turned her head and saw that it was Princess Zhaoyang who was speaking. There was a gloomy look in her eyes, but she quickly covered it up, and then said with a smirk, "So it's Qingran, what are you doing here?"

"I would like to ask Mrs. Huang first, what are you doing here?"

"Hahaha, Weiyang Palace is tired of listening to the drama, come out for a walk."

The woman greeted her with a smile, but Princess Zhaoyang did not respond.Princess Zhaoyang passed her directly, came to Jia Lian's side and asked, "How is she?"

"The water is not deep, so there shouldn't be any serious problems, but I was just scared."

Princess Zhaoyang didn't actually know Zhen Yuhuan, but she guessed that the girl had something to do with Jia Lian just by looking at her.Seeing how delicate she was, she said: "This place is not far from Zhaoyang Palace, why don't you let her change clothes at my place. It's such a cold day, it won't be good if it freezes."

"Alright, then I'll trouble you."

Upon hearing this, Jia Lian wanted to hand Zhen Yuhuan over to Princess Zhaoyang.Unexpectedly, Zhen Yuhuan seemed to be really frightened. Seeing this, she immediately hugged him tightly, and looked at him with pleading eyes: "Brother Yi~"

She didn't know Princess Zhaoyang, or in other words, in this huge palace at this time, she only trusted Jia Lian.

"Brother?"

"She was born in the Zhen family in the south of the Yangtze River. The Zhen family and our family are family friends, so she recognizes me as a righteous brother."

"So she is the daughter of the Zhen family..."

Hearing Jia Lian's simple explanation, Princess Zhaoyang suddenly understood.Looking back at the gloomy princess, she has already straightened out the cause and effect.

Beside, the woman in palace costume saw that Jia Lian and the others ignored her and only cared about comforting Zhen Yuhuan, her lungs exploded.

She just glanced at Princess Zhaoyang, she didn't dare to do anything.In a blink of an eye, she saw Zhen Yuhuan cuddling tightly in Jia Lian's arms. She thought about it and said loudly: "Where is the bold thief who dares to belittle the future prince and concubine? I must report to the prince and the queen. You are condemned to death!"

"Since the emperor's sister-in-law knows that she is the future prince's side concubine, how can she be so bold as to push her into the water?"

"Nonsense, I never pushed her into the water, she accidentally fell while walking."

"You lied, it was you who pushed our girl down. Just now our girl was here to relax, and you brought someone to trick our lady onto the bridge, and pushed her down while she wasn't paying attention. I saw it all! "

Zhen Yuhuan's maid saw that Princess Zhaoyang called the Crown Princess the Queen's Sister-in-law, and her words didn't seem to fear the Crown Princess at all. She felt that she had a backing, and immediately told the truth without fear.

"Bold slave, dare to slander me, slap me!"

Following the Crown Princess' order, the old maid behind her rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward aggressively.This scene made Zhen Yuhuan so frightened that she hid in Jia Lian's arms and dared not move.

Suddenly there was a sound of "bang", accompanied by the old maid's screams, no one saw what Jia Lian did, and saw that the old maid had suddenly flew backwards, fell five or six steps away, curled up on the ground in pain , I don't know whether I'm dead or alive.

"you you you……"

The Crown Princess has never seen such a scene before, because no one has ever dared to beat her face to face.This made her eyes widen for a moment, unable to speak.

At this time, many eunuchs and maids gathered around, and Princess Zhaoyang was afraid that Jia Lian would not be able to suppress his temper and cause trouble.

After all, Jia Lian was originally summoned into the inner palace by her against the law. If she beats the princess again, the disaster will be serious. Therefore, before Jia Lian said, "I will report the truth to the Queen Mother, please." She is the old man's decision. The emperor's sister-in-law should first think about how to deal with the accusation of the queen mother and queen."

After finishing speaking, Princess Zhaoyang recruited some maids from Weiyang Palace, and said: "You guys, take Miss Zhen back to my bedroom, change her into clean clothes, and prepare a brazier for her to warm up."

Faced with more and more people, Zhen Yuhuan was finally embarrassed to stay in Jia Lian's arms.It's just that she just left Jia Lian's side, the wet clothes on her body were blown by the cold wind, and a bone-piercing chill hit her, making her tremble all over, and then hugged her shoulders with her hands.

Seeing this, Princess Zhaoyang helped her over and handed her to the maid to take her away.
