On the third floor of a women's club in Beijing, the windows facing the street were all open. A sweet-looking girl was sitting by the window, looking at the direction of the city gate expectantly. Everyone in the opposite building noticed her. His eyes fell on her, but the girl didn't seem to notice anything, and looked around without blinking.
"The princess comes here every day to wait for Jiang Shilang to return, and I don't know when Jiang Shilang will come back."
"This Jiang Shilang has been at sea for seven or eight months, so something must have happened."
"Don't talk nonsense! You don't want to die!"
"I don't know what Jiang Shilang thinks, why does he have to go to sea, we are not the country of Dasi."
In the opposite building, whispers like this kept coming to my ears, but the girl ignored it even if she heard it, and continued to watch the direction of the city gate as before, waiting for Brother Xi's safe return.
The girl is none other than the daughter of Lord Zhongyong, Princess of Yilan Wang Jingyan, nicknamed Nizi. But now there are very few people who call her Nizi, after all, she has grown up. This women's club named "Linglong Pavilion" was opened by Wang Jingyan. It was originally a convenience for her to drink tea, chat, read and paint with a group of sisters, but it turned out to be a place where the noble girls of the capital rushed to enter.
To enter "Linglong Pavilion", one must have a "Linglong Card", which was designed by Wang Jingyan and made by her fiancé Jiang Moxi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, to enter Linglong Pavilion. This card is made of glass, and each card is inlaid with a thin crystal. This card is placed on the special props of Linglong Academy, and the name of the card holder can be displayed in the crystal.
When this kind of card appeared at the beginning, I don’t know how much shock it caused. One card was fired for ten thousand taels of silver, but the people who can get this kind of card are women who are very friendly with Wang Jingyan, and no one will be stupid Going to sell, Wang Jingyan just felt that it was a little restrained to always hang out with friends at home, not because she was restrained, but because her friends were restrained. Later, with the consent of her younger father Shao Yun'an, she found a shop in her own name, and after some decoration, it became a private club for gathering with friends. As for this kind of card, she just casually said it, and Jiang Moxi took care of it.
The first card was made, and Wang Jingyan liked it very much. She didn't plan to use this club for profit, so she asked Brother Xi to make a few more cards and give them to friends. In the future, friends can use this card to go to Linglong. Pavilion to entertain a small gathering.
It's not that Wang Jingyan's eyes are higher than the top, and she only interacts with noble women, because of her current status, the only ones who can get along with her are naturally women of status. But this club is said to be a women's club, and there are actually men who can come in, but the status of men who can come is more noble, and there are only a few of them, and they don't need a card to enter.
Today's Wang Jingyan no longer has the shadow of the poor little girl who was abused by her grandmother and aunt in her body. She has never forgotten the sufferings of the past, but it is just that she has never forgotten. The current place is a happy girl who is loved by her father and younger father, loved by her elders, loved by her older brothers and younger brothers, and held in the palm of her fiancé.
"sister."
The girl regained her senses and turned her head: "Kong Kong, why are you here?"
Wang Xingyi sat down opposite his sister, and Da Jin, who came with him, also lay down at Wang Xingyi's feet like him, feeling lazy all over his body. When he was two years old, Wang Xingyi got another nickname—"Kong Kong"—given by his younger father, Shao Yun'an. A maid came over and placed the tea set in front of King Wang Xingyi of Rui'an County, all of which he used to, and the tea served was also his favorite black tea.
Only then did Wang Xingyi answer her sister's question: "A Yuan is going to meet someone, and I follow impatiently. I know that Sister Zui is here, so I come to drink tea with you."
Wang Jingyan laughed, reached out and touched her younger brother's head, and asked, "Are you hungry?"
"I want popcorn and ice cream."
Wang Jingyan immediately ordered the waiter to bring popcorn and ice cream. It's hot, just right to eat cold.
At this moment, a maid came up and said, "Princess, Miss Zhang and Miss Xu are here."
Wang Jingyan said: "I'll drink tea with Kongkong, let them play by themselves, I won't accompany them today."
The maid goes downstairs. The site on the third floor is Wang Jingyan's private territory. Unless she invites, most people will not come up directly, but family members are naturally excluded. Wang Jingyan's little sisters also know her habit, so they just sent someone to ask.
The popcorn and ice cream were delivered soon, and Wang Xiayan said, "Go and wash your hands before eating."
"Oh." Wang Xingyi went to the bathroom to wash his hands obediently.
When he came back and sat down again, Wang Jingyan took out a handkerchief and took his hand and wiped it carefully: "Every time I wash my hands, I don't dry them properly."
"Isn't my sister here?"
As the youngest child in the family, and with a age difference between his siblings, Wang Xingyi has always been the same in front of his siblings. After drying her younger brother's hands, Wang Jingyan put the handkerchief aside and asked, "Can I go home today? Or are you going to see His Highness the Crown Prince later?"
Wang Xingyi, who lowered his head to eat ice cream, said casually: "A Yuan said he would come to see me later, but he hasn't decided whether he will return home or not." He raised his head, "Sister, brother should be back soon."
Wang Jingyan's expression was gloomy, and she quickly showed a smile that told the other party not to worry, and said, "Sister knows that he is coming back soon, and sister is waiting for him here." Wang Xingyi also knew that he could not persuade him, even the whole family could not persuade him, so he was simply humble Eat seriously.
After Wang Xingyi ate one serving of ice cream and two servings of popcorn, a young man surrounded by attendants walked into Linglong Pavilion. When people in Linglong Pavilion saw him, whether it was a waiter or a girl gathering here, they all saluted immediately. The boy just nodded lightly and went upstairs directly.
"Empty. Jing Yan."
Wang Xingyi looked up, Wang Jingyan turned her head and stood up. Wang Xingyi was still sitting in his seat.
"His Royal Highness."
Wang Jingyan called out in a friendly tone, and Prince Murong Yuan walked up to Wang Xingyi and sat down, took the Kung Fu teacup in front of him and drank the tea in it, and then told Wang Jingyan the good news: "Jingyan, Jiang Shilang is back."
Wang Jing, who had just sat down, stood up suddenly, her face flushed instantly, and if you looked carefully, you would find that her hands were shaking.
"Really, is this? Brother Xi is back?"
Wang Xingyi looked shocked: "A Yuan, my elder brother is back? Why didn't I know? My sister didn't know either." Shouldn't the elder sister be the first to know when the elder brother comes back
The crown prince patted Wang Xingyi's head, not to mention how skillful he was, and said: "Jiang Shilang's family letter should arrive later, and my side will naturally be faster. He will arrive in the capital in four days at the latest."
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness!"
Wang Jingyan turned around and ran, the sound of thud-dump-dump going downstairs struck the hearts of everyone in Linglong Pavilion. Wang Xingyi was stunned, and then he looked out the window belatedly, and saw his sister running out of Linglong Pavilion and running all the way home, so he hurriedly shouted: "Sister, you go back in a carriage! Don't run away."
Wang Jingyan, who was running, stopped abruptly, as if she had just realized what she had done stupidly, and the servant who was chasing her hurriedly led the carriage to protect her and got into the carriage. Wang Xingyi withdrew his head and grinned at Murong Yuan: "Haha, that's great, the elder brother is coming back, and the elder sister can finally stop being a husband-wife stone, and my father, younger father, and second brother can also eat and sleep sleep."
Murong Yuan patted his head: "And you, don't worry too."
Wang Xingyi nodded, "Yes, yes, I'm relieved too. But I always believed that big brother would come back safely. Big brother is going to take us to sea."
The gentle smile on Murong Yuan's face faltered, but Wang Xingyi, who was always nervous, didn't notice it. Compiler Rongyuan asked casually, "Do you still want to go to sea?"
"Of course. How could I miss such a cool thing."
Murong Yuan's eyes were cloudy: "Then what should I do if you go out to sea? Are you willing to let me worry about you every day? Can't sleep at night, don't think about food and drink?"
"Uh..." Wang Xingyi smiled awkwardly, and then said heartlessly: "Who told you not to go, otherwise you can go to sea with us!" , you can let the baby accompany you."
Murong Yuan: "Do you think Uncle Huang will release him?"
"Uh...then you still have Ah Fan."
"He's only seven years old."
"Uh..." Wang Xingyi sighed and spread his hands, "Then there's nothing you can do, who called you a prince."
Seeing him like this, Murong Yuan knew that Wang Xingyi's cravings were on the rise, and he showed a gentle smile again: "Okay, since you - go, go, then. Then spend more time with me before you go to sea. "
"That's fine."
"Then let's go."
"Where are you going?"
"your home."
Wang Xingyi and Murong Yuan left Linglong Pavilion together, Da Jin yawned, got up, and followed slowly.
Murong Yuan and Wang Xingyi are only eleven-year-old boys now, Wang Xingyi's temperament is relatively cheerful, but Murong Yuan has already walked on the road of becoming a qualified prince for many years. Murong Yuan and Wang Xingyi are only one month apart, but Murong Yuan and Wang Xingyi are uncles and nephews in terms of generation. Both Wang Jingyan and Wang Qing have to call Murong Yuan uncle. Murong Yuan is the prince. Just call him His Royal Highness the Prince, and he should be respected. Murong Yuan directly called Wang Qing and Wang Jingyan by their names, which was the most appropriate in terms of identity and backup. As Murong Yuan grew up, he became more and more used to addressing each other. However, Wang Xingyi has never had any troubles with titles. When he is sensible, he calls the prince "A Yuan".
In the thirteenth year of Emperor Yongming, under the auspices of Jiang Moxi, the construction of the long-distance ships was completed. After the eight large-scale long-distance ships successfully tested the water, they began to carry out their missions. For the first time, Jiang Moxi personally led the team, and they were going to Dasi. , and then go south from Dasi country to the place where patterned iron is produced. If possible, Jiang Moxi will continue to go south.
Jiang Moxi always remembers to take his family out to sea. It can be said that this voyage is a preliminary preparation for taking his family out to sea smoothly. Jiang Moxi has been away for eight months. Both Wang Shijing and Shao Yun'an have persuaded him not to take the matter of going to sea to heart But Jiang Moxi has made up his mind, even Wang Jingyan can't persuade him to change his mind. Jiang Moxi went to sea amidst the worries and concerns of his family. Since he went to sea, Wang Jingyan waited for news of his return in Linglong Pavilion, rain or shine, because the streets outside Linglong Pavilion were the only streets to enter the capital.
Jiang Moxi was coming back, and the news spread from the palace very quickly, and the people in Duke Zhongyong's mansion who got the news first showed smiles of reassurance over the past few months. Wang Shijing immediately wrote to Wang Qing asking him to return to Beijing immediately, and informed Jiang Kangchen and Jiang Kangning. Wang Qing is practicing the practice of reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles. After Jiang Moxi went to sea, he left the capital. Luo Rongwang and Wang Zhengjun Guo Zimu, who were on vacation at a winery in the suburbs, immediately packed their bags and returned to Beijing after receiving the news.
In Prince Luo Rong's Mansion, Baby Murong is sitting on the lap of his elder brother, Shizi Murong, blinking and blinking with a pair of beautiful eyes that look like a little daddy.
"Brother, don't be angry, I won't play with Luo Zian anymore."
Murong Shizi's sinister coldness permeated the entire room. In front of him, four guards and two maids knelt there, shivering.
Murong Baobao is not afraid of his elder brother's appearance at all, he is not happy either. Murong Shizi glanced at the kneeling people, picked up Baby Murong, stood up, and walked out. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would not be able to help himself from beating those poorly protected things to death. The thin Murong Shizi has completely changed now. With a stable appearance, coupled with his stable position and great power in his hands, if he stomps his feet, the capital will also tremble.
"Brother, don't be angry, it will hurt here."
Baby Murong rubbed his brother's chest and even blew. With this blow, Murong Shizi's complexion improved a bit, but only a little bit.
"Are you scared?" Prince Murong asked.
"...No. I just hate it. I will never play with Luo Zian again!" Baby Murong wiped his face hard.
Murong Shizi pulled his hand down, at this moment a person came over quickly, bowed his head and said: "My lord, Jiang Shilang is going back to Beijing soon."
Murong Shizi was startled, and asked: "Is the news accurate?"
"It came from the palace."
Prince Murong immediately thought that his father and younger father would come back immediately after receiving this news, and he ordered people to tidy up the palace immediately to welcome father and younger father back to the mansion. After Murong Shizi finished making arrangements, Murong Baobao asked: "Brother, daddy and little daddy are coming back?"
"Yeah. I'm coming back. Brother Xi is coming back."
"Ah, that's great, Kongkong said that Xixi will bring a lot of good things when she comes back."
"Brother is going to Duke Zhongyong's mansion, do you want to go?"
"If you want, I will find Kong Kong to play."
"Kong Kong may not be in the mansion."
"If I'm not here, I'll play with Brother Hu."
Murong Shizi turned around and went back to his room. Baby Murong, who was kissed by his trusted little friend, is no longer angry, but Mu Ke Shizi has already figured out how to teach the Luo family a lesson. Can his baby kiss casually? !
It can't be blamed that Murong Shizi is nervous now, Murong Baobao's youngest father is Guo Zimu, Guo Zimu is a charming blue face with an evil face, Murong Baobao "unfortunately" resembles his youngest father. King Luo Rong and Guo Zimu love each other like conjoined twins. After Prince Murong gained a firm foothold in the court, King Luo Rong didn't even go to court, completely retiring. The Murong Baby Factory was almost brought up by Murong Shizi, and he has such a face, Murong Shizi can not be nervous.
When they arrived at Duke Zhongyong's mansion, Wang Xingyi was there, and Baby Murong was overjoyed. Wang Xingyi often stays with the crown prince in the East Palace, and the young lady Wang Jingyan of Duke Zhongyong's mansion is always there. Today Wang Xingyi and Wang Jingyan are both at home, and the crown prince is also here. With the addition of baby Murong, Duke Zhongyong's mansion is much more lively.
Jiang Moxi came back this time and brought back a large amount of overseas supplies, so the prince had to go back to the palace today. After dinner at Duke Zhongyong's mansion, the crown prince dragged Wang Xingyi away. Because he had so much fun with Jin and Xiaojin, Baby Murong fell asleep before eating, and the son of Murong took him back to the palace first.
Jiang Kangchen and Wu Jian finally felt relieved when their son came back safely. The two have already lived together now, and in private, in front of relatives and friends, the two held a remarriage ceremony. To the outside world, the relationship between the two is still master and servant. Jiang Kangchen and Wu Jian cherish the present life to be able to reunite after so many things. They have no plans to have any more children, and have dinner with Wang Shijing and Shao Yunan , Jiang Kangchen and Wu Jian also returned to the mansion. Although the son lived in the mansion for a short time, the son's room had to be cleaned up early.
Jiang Kangning, who also went to the Zhongyong Mansion for dinner, put his sleeping son on the bed, and then went back to the room with his wife. Jiang Suoning now has a son and two daughters. After Weng Yao married, the daughter she brought with her changed her surname to Jiang. Jiang Kangning and Weng Yao are now loving husband and wife. The woman who had ridiculed Weng Yao before for being unable to control her husband does not know how jealous she is now.
After washing up and going to bed, Jiang Kangning breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If brother Xi doesn't come back, Jing Yan will be sick."
Weng Yao asked: "Brother Xi is back, should his marriage with the Princess be done? The Princess is also seventeen."
Jiang Kangning: "It should be done. If Brother Xi hadn't gone to sea, it should have been done this year. Brother Xi can't wait. When the date is set, the eldest brother will need his wife to help with it."
"Don't worry. Let the princess come in gracefully."
Jiang Kangning lay down: "Go to sleep."
Dong Gong, Wang Xingyi after taking a shower—yawning, crawling sleepily on the bed, someone hugged him from behind, and he turned his head.
"Um?"
"Don't sleep yet, I'm going in."
"Oh." Wang Xingyi grabbed the hand at his waist, and in an instant, the two disappeared in place. Da Jin got up, walked to the door, and lay down.
About half an hour later, the two appeared in place. Wang Xingyi, who couldn't even open his eyes, climbed onto the bed, got into bed, and fell asleep in seconds. The prince stood by the bed and looked at the person who had fallen asleep, seriously thinking about how to prevent someone from going to sea. After going to bed, the prince leaned into the ear of someone who was already asleep, and whispered: "Kong Kong, when our son succeeds, I will accompany you to the sea. You are willing to leave me, but I can't bear to stay alone in an empty room."
"If you don't object, you agree."
"I knew you would agree."
Putting a light kiss on someone's face, the prince got into bed and hugged someone.
In Duke Zhongyong's bedroom, Shao Yun'an was so excited that Jiang Moxi was coming back that he couldn't sleep. He leaned on Wang Shijing's chest and said: "Before he left, brother Xi said that he would marry Nizi when he came back. When brother Xi comes back, let's find someone to live with."
"Listen to you."
Thinking of another matter, Shao Yun'an was a little worried: "Brother Jing, Kongkong and the prince are so close, do you think the prince has found that Kongkong has space? I asked Kongkong, and he said no. But I don't believe he can hide it from the prince. He The two are almost inseparable, and the prince is not stupid."
Wang Shijing: "I also asked him, and he said no, so he probably didn't. Kong Kong is a little confused, but he should not be kidding about this matter. But even if the prince knows, it's okay, the two of them Just like the brother in a pair of pants, you'll be fine."
"We watched the prince grow up, but he is the prince after all, the future emperor. The emperor treats you and me so well, I dare not let him know that I have space, we have spiritual milk and fairy fruit. I don't think the prince Can hurt Kong Kong, but always be careful."
"Don't worry, even if there is danger, I have the confidence to protect Kongkong. Don't forget, we still have Brother Xi."
"Yeah, and Brother Xi. Ah, Brother Xi is coming back, I really miss him, he must have lost weight."
"When he comes back, you can make up for him."
The husband and wife talked about the children, about going to sea, and about the prince. On the pier, Jiang Moxi, who got off the boat, got into the carriage that came to pick him up, but he still had no expression on his face, but he was daunting, and his legs would always involuntarily go weak in front of him. The youngest servant in the history of the Ministry of Industry, the mysterious owner of the private workshop, in the eyes of many people, he is just a senior technician, but even Emperor Yongming, who doesn't know Jiang Moxi's true strength, Jiang Moxi has his own chips, Protect your family's chips.
As the carriage drove, a black figure jumped onto the carriage and rushed into the carriage. Jiang Moxi just raised his eyelids, but his figure didn't move at all.
"Master, the news has been sent back to the capital. The princess will wait for the master to return to the capital in Linglong Pavilion every day..."
Jiang Moxi listened quietly to the other party reporting to him all the things he needed to know during his absence in the capital, especially the matter about the princess of Yilan. After the man finished speaking, Jiang Moxi just gave a faint "um", and the next moment, there was no one in the car.
Nizi... Jiang Moxi closes her eyes... I'm back.
"Ah!"
Wang Jingyan woke up from her sleep, clutching her heart and gasping for breath, Brother Xi...
Jiang Moxi went to sea for the first time, and exchanged tea, silk, porcelain, glass, mirrors, pearls, goat milk wine, and wine from Yan State in exchange for Daxing's gold and silver jewelry, exotic products, and the mining rights of two patterned iron mines. Emperor Yongming was overjoyed and rewarded him heavily. In March of the following year, Jiang Moxi married Yilan Princess. The grand wedding ceremony surpassed that of King Luo Rong's wedding. Envoys from various countries came to Beijing to congratulate Duke Zhongyong on marrying his daughter.
In the fifteenth year of Yongming, Duke Zhongyong Wang Shijing, King Shao Zhengjun Shao Yunan, Wang Qing, Wang Jingyan, Jiang Moxi, and Wang Xingyi went to sea. Murong Yuan, the prospective prince of Emperor Yongming, went forward. Murong Yuan did not leave Wang Xingyi in the capital, but went with him. A year later, the fleet returned to Beijing. On the month of returning to Beijing, Emperor Yongming decreed that Wang Xingyi, the king of Rui'an County, be married as the Crown Prince Zhengjun.
In the 20th year of Yongming, Jiang Moxi resigned from office and went to sea again with his wife Wang Jingyan. This time, there were sixteen long-distance ships, accompanied by the loyal and brave husband and wife. Husband was shocked.
In accordance with the fate of the heavens, the emperor issued an edict: I am seriously ill and need to rest and recuperate, and I have ordered the prince to supervise the country.
Seeing this simple imperial decree, the veins on the prince's forehead twitched. The second prince, King Fuxiang, was so frightened that he hid behind Sister Wang. In the East Palace, Wang Xingyi, who was also abandoned, was still sleeping late. He couldn't care about the affairs of the family and the country. He was not interested in the inner courtyard of the palace. his task.
After grunting a few times, Wang Xingyi scratched his collarbone, the bright red mole between the collarbone looked delicate and charming. In the space, beside the puddle where the spirit milk fell, the prince's Buddha relic flickered slightly.
