Today is the day to return home for three days. Like other brides, Cheng Yujin also has to go back to her parents' home on the third day after marriage, to show her mother's situation after marriage. Before leaving the palace, Cheng Yujin went to the Empress Dowager Yang and Empress Yang's palace to take a shower. Empress Yang knew that she was going to go home today, so she didn't make much trouble, and let her out quickly.
Cheng Yujin returned to Ciqing Palace, changed her clothes, and boarded the car with her maid. At this moment, the Marquis of Yichun has been waiting for a long time. The Cheng family swept the courtyard clean and the gate opened. Cheng Yuanxian led the Cheng family brothers and sons and nephews, standing in front of the door eagerly waiting. In front of the second door, Mrs. Cheng was also supported by everyone, quietly waiting for the princess to return to the door.
As the sun rose, Mrs. Cheng waited for a long time, and finally someone came in to communicate that the Crown Princess was here. Madam Cheng's spirit was shocked, and she hurriedly ordered the female dependents, holding her breath, and waiting for the Crown Princess.
The sound of clapping hands came from far away on the street. Li Chengjing's frame stopped at the main gate, while Cheng Yujin's carriage continued to walk in, directly into the mansion, and stopped before the second gate. At this moment, Mrs. Cheng, along with Qing Fu, Ruan's family and nearly 100 servants of the Cheng family, knelt in front of the door and shouted, "See the Crown Princess."
Several women in palace attire stepped forward to lift the sedan curtain and carefully supported the people inside. Cheng Yujin slowly got out of the sedan chair, stood in front of the crowd, and raised her hand slightly: "No."
Everyone stood up suddenly. Mrs. Cheng was helped to stand up and said tremblingly, "I greet the Crown Princess. Congratulations to the Crown Princess."
"Grandmother is exempted from the ceremony." Cheng Yujin stepped forward, gestured to help old Mrs. Cheng, and said, "It's the granddaughter who is unfilial, and the elders are waiting here. Grandma, come in quickly."
Cheng Yujin just made a gesture, and didn't really come to help Mrs. Cheng. Mrs. Cheng saw the red woven gold sleeves spread out in front of her, and the golden patterns on it shone brightly in the sun, making people dizzy. Mrs. Cheng was in a daze for a moment, then stood up and said with a smile: "Princess Concubine said that it was the old man who saw the Concubine and was too impatient. Concubine, please come in."
Wu Yangyang's servants of Cheng's family spread out from the middle when they heard the words, and spread to both sides like a tide. After Cheng Yujin and Mrs. Cheng walked past, they dared to follow in turn.
Today, regardless of the master and servant, everyone in the Cheng family greets the prince and princess at the door. The man stands with Cheng Yuanxian on the street outside the main entrance, the woman waits at the second gate with Mrs. Cheng, and the servants kneel in different places according to their rank. After Cheng Yujin entered the hospital, she walked into the main hall of Shou'an Hall. At this moment, the Shou'an Hall has been arranged, and there are new ones everywhere, making a special trip to welcome the Crown Princess. Cheng Yujin asked Mrs. Cheng to sit up, but Mrs. Cheng refused, and repeatedly declined. Cheng Yujin only half pushed and sat down to the highest position, and Mrs. Cheng sat down with her.
At this moment, Cheng Yujin was surrounded by a large number of palace ladies and officials, and there were also many servants standing outside the house, standing respectfully with all their sleeves on. Princess Qingfu and Mrs Ruan were apprehensive when they saw it, but Cheng Yujin had only changed for two days.
Cheng Yujin wore a bright red dress today and sat upright, but when she raised her hand like that, the royal prestige suddenly appeared.
In the past, Cheng Yujin's demeanor was good, sitting, standing, and even walking were pleasing to the eyes. When everyone saw it, they only thought she was beautiful. Who knew that when she changed into royal costumes, beauty was beautiful, but it was no longer for them to appreciate.
That is the mighty Yumen, the moon shines on Kyushu, and just looking at it, you can feel the mighty royal majesty. Beautiful but not demonic, majestic but not angry, no one could tell what the princess should look like, but after seeing Cheng Yujin, they felt that this was how the princess should be.
At this moment, the princess of Qingfu felt that she was a royal. Compared with Cheng Yujin, what kind of demeanor did she have as a princess. Shi Ruan was even more embarrassed. At the wedding ceremony, Cheng Yujin's clothes had not been delivered yet. Shi Ruan just thought that Cheng Yujin was still Cheng Yujin, but she was lucky enough to be given a good marriage.
So Nguyen thought about Cheng Yujin and asked her to benefit her son. Later, Mrs. Ruan was choked by Cheng Yujin, and she begged the big man to be shameless. Mrs. Ruan was indignant and did not dare to say it in person, so she could only express her anger by pointing at Sang and scolding Huai in private. At that time, she didn't think there was any difference between the Crown Princess and an ordinary married daughter. Until today, when she saw it, Nguyen was afraid after realizing it.
If today, Nguyen wouldn't dare to talk to Cheng Yujin anyway, let alone make plans. Nguyen's anger did not dare to come out, and Qingfu County Master also felt that his own mother was very shameless.
Only Mrs. Cheng, who has seen many occasions, is still stable at this moment, and slowly asks Cheng Yujin about the trivial matters of food and clothing after she gets married.
Cheng Yujin also answered with a smile, anyway, she couldn't say that the palace was not good, of course, if she picked it up, it would be a good thing.
Mrs. Cheng obviously understood that she was relieved to hear these normal words. After chatting for a while, the atmosphere gradually warmed up. Cheng Yujin left the palace maids and waiters outside, changed the house etiquette by herself, and went to the inner room with Mrs. Cheng to speak commonplace words.
Leaving the resplendent main hall, everyone looked much more relaxed. It was said to be a family etiquette, but Cheng Yujin was still the master. She sat on the main seat of the Arhat bed, and Mrs. Cheng sat opposite. The Princess Qingfu, Mrs Ruan and others moved armchairs and sat with them.
The maids were scattered around Cheng Yujin, and at first glance, the superior and inferior were divided.
Mrs. Cheng has not been a partner for many years. She is the oldest member of the Cheng family. She sits in the most honorable and central position wherever she goes. Everyone is careful to flatter her. Now that she has suddenly fallen to the second place, Mrs. Cheng is so embarrassed.
But no matter how embarrassing it is, she still has to smile at Cheng Yujin: "Prince Concubine, you have only been in the palace for two days, but my old body feels like three years and five years have passed. Are you used to it in the palace these two days?"
"Everything is fine." Cheng Yujin nodded lightly, "Thank you grandmother for your concern."
Mrs. Cheng carefully asked the most crucial question: "Then how do you get along with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
The Cheng family all pricked up their ears. Compared to the nonsense about food, clothing, housing, and transportation, it was obvious that they only cared about this. The prince and the Cheng family have some origins, but the worst thing is that the Cheng family didn't know about it, and they mistakenly thought that the prince was just a concubine, and their golden thighs were turned into a life reminder by them.
Cheng Yujin remembered what happened last night when she was drunk and felt terrible, but she still smiled dignifiedly and said, "My Highness and I are all fine."
Mrs. Cheng asked tentatively, "I had no eyes before, I didn't know His Royal Highness's dragon and phoenix appearance, and his words were negligent and offended. Your Highness... Could Your Highness blame the Cheng family?"
Cheng Yujin knew it, and dared to come to her here to intercede. They didn't dare to talk to Li Chengjing, so they came to talk to her. Why did they think Cheng Yujin could influence Li Chengjing
Cheng Yujin thought that Mrs. Cheng had committed her own death, and it was useless to find her. But now is not the time to be in chaos, the Yang family is still there, how can the Cheng family be in chaos first
Cheng Yujin told the truth and said: "Grandmother and father can rest assured. Since His Highness married me, he expressed that he has no selfish grudge against the Cheng family. In the future, as long as the Cheng family is safe and disciplined, His Highness is reasonable and will not pursue the past."
With Cheng Yujin's words, Mrs. Cheng's heart that has been hanging for half a year can be considered stable. When Li Chengjing was still in Cheng's house, Mrs. Cheng always felt that he was the illegitimate child of Xiao Xue's family outside. Although she didn't dare to do it directly, she still said a lot of sarcastic things behind her back, and even once, Cheng Yuanxian scolded in front of Li Chengjing " Rape child". At the time, I didn't think it was anything. After learning Li Chengjing's identity, the Cheng family recalled these things, and they all shivered with fright.
They also don't expect the prince to give the Cheng family any preferential treatment. As long as the old marquis Cheng is kind to the prince and does not pursue the offense of the Cheng family, Cheng Yuanxian will be thankful. Now that they heard Cheng Yujin's exact words, Qingfu and Chen Laofu were undoubtedly greatly relieved.
After Mrs. Cheng put down her worries, her mind became active again. She looked at Qu Yujin calmly, the beauty was as picturesque as in the clouds, and Mrs. Cheng found it pleasing to the eye, presumably from a man's point of view, it was even more beautiful.
Mrs. Cheng slammed and asked: "His Royal Highness is benevolent, I am grateful, and in the future, there will be Prince Concubine Lao in front of the Highness to help the Cheng family. Prince Concubine, how are you and the Prince?"
Cheng Yujin thought to herself that this question was asked just now, why did she come again. She saw Old Madam Cheng's eyes with implied anticipation and pointing, and slowly realized what Madam Cheng was asking.
Cheng Yujin was embarrassed, there were no outsiders here, and the female officials and eunuchs who came from the palace were all ordered outside. There is a reward and there is no need to be an errand. The palace people all turn a blind eye, and let Cheng Yujin and the Cheng family speak alone. But this was the case. Cheng Yujin couldn't say anything under the stares of Madam Cheng, Princess Qingfu, Ruan Shi and others.
What is she going to say? Is this kind of thing good or bad
Cheng Yujin only knew about the memory of her previous life. It was like watching a shadow puppet show. What remained in her mind were the most special and critical turning pictures, like a highly generalized painting album, and she could not remember the specific details. And among them, the picture of getting along with Huo Chang Yuan was almost nothing.
In my impression, after she married into the Huo family, Huo Xue's possessiveness towards her son exploded. Therefore, Cheng Yujin's experience in this area is not too much.
She also doesn't know what a normal marriage should be like, and what frequency should this kind of thing be done between husband and wife to be normal.
Cheng Yujin thought that she was drunk last night, and went to bed as soon as she went back. She was safe all night. Li Chengjing only touched her on the wedding night. But the bridal candles were originally part of the bridal duties. Based on this, Li Chengjing's attitude was similar to hers, and everything was for etiquette and heirs.
Cheng Yujin gave herself enough leeway, just nodded with a smile, and didn't say much. I can't say too much. If Li Chengjing gets cold as fast as other men, and she can't give birth to children, she can't do anything about it.
Mrs. Cheng was a little worried when she saw Cheng Yujin's reserved and cold smile. It used to be like this. Mrs. Beppu brought her nephew to visit Cheng's house. Cheng Yujin smiled and said hello. Cheng Yujin looks like this, she has a cold face, who would dare to come forward to be boring, but Cheng Yumo knows how to talk and play with men actively.
Mrs. Cheng watched the teenagers who were guests looking at Cheng Yujin in amazement, but Cheng Yujin didn't take a single glance, and those teenagers didn't dare to come and bother Cheng Yujin. Mrs. Cheng has been worried about this for a long time, especially afraid that Cheng Yujin will also act like this after she gets married.
Now it seems that her worries are right.
Mrs. Cheng even felt that Cheng Yujin could do anything like shut the door to prevent her husband from entering, or drive her husband to other places, so don't bother her.
Now that Cheng Yujin's husband is the prince, Cheng Yujin won't let the prince enter the door, but as long as he is cold to the prince, the prince will not stay. Over time, isn't the relationship between husband and wife getting colder and more rigid? How can a child be born like this.
Mingming is picturesque, but she is not enlightened, and Mrs. Cheng is very upset. Mrs. Cheng wanted to make a point, but she was too old to teach her newly married granddaughter how to be a husband and wife, so she couldn't say anything. In the end, Mrs. Cheng said vaguely: "Prince Concubine, His Royal Highness has been living abroad for many years and got married late. Presumably His Majesty has long been looking forward to having a grandson. The prince is older than you, and you have to listen to him if there is anything between your husband and wife. , everything is good to follow His Highness."
Cheng Yujin didn't understand why Mrs. Cheng wanted to say it again, but she nodded: "I understand. Thank you grandmother."
But when Mrs. Cheng saw Cheng Yujin's expression, she knew that she didn't understand. She didn't understand what Mrs. Cheng was implying at all. Mrs. Cheng was speechless for a while. She wanted to let Qingfu teach Cheng Yujin, but when she thought about the marriage between Qingfu County Lord and Cheng Yuanxian, she thought it might be better not to talk about it.
The relationship between Mrs. Cheng and Mr. Cheng can't be good, but Mrs. Cheng is strong and ruthless, and the women around Mr. Cheng can't survive. The three children of the Cheng family are born from Mrs. Cheng's belly. Only Cheng Yuanjing came back suddenly when he was six years old and became a slip through the net, but it was later confirmed that it was not.
Not to mention the married life of Qingfu County Lord and Cheng Yuanxian. Cheng Yuanxian has a concubine on the left and a beautiful girl on the right. He treats women once a month. husband. Cheng Yujin grew up in such an environment, and she was fascinated by her eyes and ears. How could she learn the normal way of getting along with men and women.
On the contrary, Cheng Yumo has both parents, and Ruan and Cheng Yuanhan have a good relationship, so Cheng Yumo can get along with men better than Cheng Yujin.
Mrs. Cheng was secretly worried that the Cheng family was now tied to the prince's boat. If Cheng Yujin could not give birth to the prince's heir, then the Cheng family's bargaining chip would be much weaker. Mrs. Cheng doesn't care whether Cheng Yujin is a superficial husband and wife with the prince. As long as they have a direct son, it doesn't matter if they are separated.
Cheng Yujin and the prince are both beautiful and square-shaped. They look very good together. However, when two Duanfang people are together, it always makes people worry that they will not be able to have children.
Mrs. Cheng looked at it for a while, made up her mind, and quietly instructed the mama.
After lunch, Cheng Yujin and Li Chengjing were going back to the palace. When we were having dinner together just now, as Cheng Yujin said, Li Chengjing has always advanced and retreated in a moderate manner, gentle and courteous, and spoke to Cheng Yuanxian in a gentle manner, and did not mean to turn over the old accounts. The Cheng family was relieved and happily sent Cheng Yujin back to the palace in the afternoon.
But before leaving, Mrs. Cheng handed Cheng Yujin a box, and repeatedly asked her to wait for no one to look at her when she returned to the palace.
Cheng Yujin didn't take it to heart. When meeting the door on the third day, she would bring gifts to her parents' family. The more generous the gift, the more important the husband's family would show. Also, when the married daughter left, her parents' family would also give back, showing the confidence of her parents' family. Cheng Yujin thought that Mrs. Cheng's box was just one of them, and didn't care much.
After returning to the palace to report to the Empress Dowager and having dinner at Ciqing Palace, Cheng Yujin changed into light home clothes and remembered the mysterious box that Mrs. Cheng gave her during the day.
It was dark and the apse was clean, Cheng Yujin had nothing to do, so she dug out Mrs. Cheng's things. She didn't understand it at first, thinking about what Madam Cheng had done for her Taoist book, until she turned two pages and saw a very detailed diagram.
Cheng Yujin was stunned for a moment, then closed the page with a bang.
She blushed with shame and anger, and wanted to throw the box out immediately. What is Mrs. Cheng thinking about every day? As solemn as he explained, Cheng Yujin thought why was it important, and that's what happened
Cheng Yujin was embarrassed and annoyed, and gritted her teeth with anger. However, no matter how angry she is, she doesn't dare to be impulsive. This kind of thing can't be left indiscriminately. If she is accidentally turned over by the palace staff, what face does she have as a princess
Cheng Yujin was in a hurry to find a place to hide, when a voice came from behind: "What are you looking at, why are you so angry?"
