Everyone from the Huo family left, and Ruan Shi and Cheng Yumo also bowed their heads and retired. In the huge West Hall, only Cheng Yujin and Li Chengjing were left. Ciqing Palace was noisy all afternoon, but now it is quiet again.
Li Chengjing raised his hand and waved, and the palace servants who served in every corner silently retreated. After all the others left, Li Chengjing looked at Cheng Yujin and said with a smile: "Prince Concubine is very eloquent, it is their loss that the Censor Terrace did not meet you, if you go to be Censor, there will be no corrupt officials in the world. , I will clear Hai Yan He Qing."
Cheng Yujin glanced at Li Chengjing lightly: "His Royal Highness lifts love, but as a concubine, she is only a weak woman, so I'm afraid she can't take such a heavy responsibility."
Li Chengjing couldn't help laughing. He pulled Cheng Yujin to sit down and asked, "Huo Changyuan caused your second sister to have a miscarriage, not me. Why are you still so angry?"
Cheng Yujin took a deep breath and said sullenly, "It's nothing. I just feel sad that the rabbit died and the fox died."
Li Chengjing raised his eyebrows, he tilted his head to look at Cheng Yujin, his eyes were full of smiles: "Prince Concubine fought against the Confucian scholars, first trained Ruan and Huo Xue, and then after training Jingyong Hou Xun sister, sure enough, even me You can't be spared, can you?"
Cheng Yujin was unspeakably melancholy, but when she heard his words, she couldn't help laughing. Being interrupted by him like this, Cheng Yujin's inexplicable mood disappeared, she glared at Li Chengjing with anger and anger, and said, "Prince is pure and noble, I haven't seen Jingyong Hou's cousin today. How dare you say that His Royal Highness is not?"
Li Chengjing spread his palms with a smile, and said, "This has nothing to do with me. I don't know anything about these things today. If it wasn't for the Jingyong Hou who had left and returned at the palace gate, I wouldn't have known that the Huo family were gathered together. As for Ciqing Palace. Bringing him into the palace is just a matter of convenience."
"Is Your Highness really unselfish?"
Li Chengjing's eyes were bright and he asked with a smile, "What selfishness do you think I have?"
Cheng Yujin originally choked him on purpose, but he didn't expect him to admit it frankly, which made Cheng Yujin unable to answer. Cheng Yujin pursed her lips, staggered her eyes slightly, and avoided the topic: "Today is full of trivial matters. Her concubine's birth made His Highness laugh."
"What's the matter?" Li Chengjing saw that she didn't answer or persecute her, but he stretched his sleeves indifferently, "Life is a trivial matter. If you can share these trivial matters with me, this is how you treat me as a person. a part of your life."
After finishing speaking, Li Chengjing glanced at Cheng Yujin and raised his eyebrows lightly: "Besides, what is your family? Could it be that Cheng Yumo is also my niece?"
He came again, Cheng Yujin choked, and gave him a hard look: "You still said! Uncle married a niece, do you really think this reputation is good? The civil and military people of all times have deliberately avoided this. It's better for you to mention it yourself."
"It's just the truth." Li Chengjing didn't care, and even showed a thoughtful look, "Cheng Yumo is my second niece or your sister. Now that you are married to me, should you call her niece or sister?"
Cheng Yujin looked at him blankly, and was about to get up with a wave of his sleeves. Li Chengjing hurriedly smiled and held it back: "Blame me, I said nonsense. Crown Princess, don't be angry, sit down first."
Cheng Yujin was pulled and sat back, looking at her expression completely enduring anger.
Li Chengjing knew that it would be really hairy to tease him again, so he was very obedient and did not dare to speak indiscriminately. He looked at Cheng Yujin's face and said, "However, what happened today is that Huo Changyuan did something wrong. I don't know how Huo Xue's and Cheng Yumo are, so I won't comment, but he pushed his wife and hurt her. Miscarriage, but there is no man to take care of it. Whether he knew that Cheng Yumo was pregnant or not, it was wrong for him to do something to his wife. Could it be that Cheng Yumo is not pregnant, so he can do it? "
Li Chengjing disliked this very much, Cheng Yujin said no, but nodded secretly in his heart. She thought that when she was at Cheng's house, she secretly picked up gold from Old Hou's house. Li Chengjing asked Liu Yi to help her carry things after seeing it, and then took her outside to see the store. Li Chengjing also accompanied her throughout the whole process, without the slightest impatience.
If the same situation was placed on Huo Chang Yuan, the effect would be completely different. Oh no, a person like Huo Chang Yuan wouldn't accompany women shopping at all. In his opinion, this is probably an extremely unpromising performance.
Cheng Yujin was a little curious. Huo Changyuan grew up beside his widowed mother and had little contact with adult men since he was a child. As a result, he was spoiled by the widowed mother and took women's dedication for granted. What about Li Chengjing
Huo Changyuan just didn't have a father, but Li Chengjing was lost since childhood, lost his mother when he was young, lost his father when he was young, and grew up almost by himself. Why did he grow into a completely different appearance from Huo Chang Yuan
Li Chengjing found that Cheng Yujin's eyes were wrong, and asked, "Why are you looking at me like this? Just say what you want to ask, don't guess by yourself."
In this case, Cheng Yujin asked out of the question. When Li Chengjing heard it, he couldn't help knocking on Cheng Yujin's forehead: "Does it have to be taught by someone? Can't I be myself and become a pillar of my own?"
Cheng Yujin burst out laughing, her eyes were full of glittering light, but she still held the venue and said, "This is natural, His Royal Highness is a rare good jade, and others are just icing on the cake."
Li Chengjing also laughed. He seemed to think of something, his smile narrowed, and his tone suddenly took on a serious tone: "If you talk about the grace of upbringing, I really want to thank someone. Although she is not related to me by blood, she is very kind to me. Without her, I would never be able to. There will be who I am today, and this kind of grace will be recreated, no different from a half-mother."
Cheng Yujin also became solemn: "Your Highness, what you said..."
Li Chengjing nodded: "Yes, it is my adoptive mother Xiao Xue."
Cheng Yujin sighed, the little Xue family had few talents, but she was implicated in exile because of the Xue family case. Li Chengjing was rescued and taken in by Xiao Xue's family, which prevented him from falling into extremes and hatred.
At that time, Li Chengjing was only five years old, but he experienced the death of his biological mother, his father married another, and his grandmother said that he was ominous and was excluded from the palace to recuperate. This kind of life experience, if you put it on another person, even if you don't give up on yourself, you will hate the world. Li Chengjing, however, was able to persevere, and still grew into a rational, virtuous and self-controlled appearance. Even in the face of a woman, he could always be respectful and polite.
The more Cheng Yujin thought about it, the more she felt that good talent and dead wood should not be confused, and the education of female elders in the process of growing up was also very important. Li Chengjing and Huo Changyuan are the most obvious examples.
Cheng Yujin seemed to be emotional, and sighed softly: "His Royal Highness, it is really my luck to be able to marry you. In fact, any woman can have a good life when she marries you."
After Cheng Yujin finished speaking, seeing that Li Chengjing's expression was wrong, she frowned and asked, "What kind of eyes are you looking at? Why are you looking at me like this?"
"I'm flattered." Li Chengjing said truthfully, "I always feel that you have something to say. To make you praise, there must be additional conditions."
Cheng Yujin glared at him: "In your heart, am I the kind of person who has a purpose in everything and can't afford to be too early?"
Li Chengjing nodded, then he laughed himself, ducked back, and held Cheng Yujin's hand.
"Okay, I'll stop teasing you." Li Chengjing restrained his smile and said seriously, "It's my honor that you rate me so highly. However, I don't know what will happen if I marry someone else, because in this life I just want to marry you."
With flattering words, Cheng Yujin cursed in her heart and glared at him angrily, but there was a gleam of light and a smile inside.
Cheng Yujin was half-joking and half-serious, and asked with a smile, "His Royal Highness is good at controlling people's hearts. If you said this to me today, if it was another person, the same might be true of Your Highness, right?"
Sure enough, he still came, Li Chengjing helplessly said, "Is there anyone else besides you?"
"Not now, who knows if there will be in the future." Cheng Yujin raised her chin slightly. She had a slender neck and a beautiful face. She looked at people with her eyes lowered slightly, her cold feeling mixed with glamour, her arrogance and her tenderness, and it was strange. "Isn't that cousin of Hou Jingyong today very heartbroken for His Highness. Now it's just the cousin of Hou Jingyong. In a few days, who knows if other sisters will appear."
It was obviously a question, but it was very pleasant to Li Chengjing's ears. I'm not afraid that Cheng Yujin will mind, but I'm afraid that she doesn't mind. If she didn't care about him accepting other women, Li Chengjing should have a headache.
Li Chengjing is in a good mood, and even his eyes are smiling: "My mother is the wife of the first wife, and His Majesty started at the end of the day, and we have been close to each other. In my childhood memory, there is no third person between them, and that is one of the few in my childhood. After that, I was brought up by my adoptive mother. Although she was not married, she was extremely proud and self-respecting, and she never bothered to be anyone’s concubine, if it wasn’t for me, she wouldn’t be…”
Cheng Yujin held Li Chengjing's hand silently, Li Chengjing paused, skipped this paragraph, and said, "So, I never thought about taking a concubine. The son is the essence, not the abundance. Even the descendants are not well educated, what is the use of having more concubines, on the contrary, it makes the family restless."
Li Chengjing stared deeply at Cheng Yujin, his eyes were deep and long, like a jar of old wine, which unknowingly attracted people to indulge: "In my life, it is enough to have my wife."
Cheng Yujin blushed, she turned her eyes away from looking at Li Chengjing, but she couldn't hold back the smile on her lips.
Li Chengjing also said that her eloquence is good. In her opinion, Li Chengjing is the real master of demagogic people.
Cheng Yujin was just trying to take advantage of the situation, but she didn't expect to hear such a remark, and she got a big red face. Cheng Yumo and Huo Changyuan had such a vigorous, deep and strong love, but they were so troubled today that Cheng Yujin was really sad to see it. She and Li Chengjing have never had a strong relationship. The relationship between the two after marriage and before marriage is basically unchanged. They are always flat and respect each other.
Both of them are rational and polite people who are good at rounding up the scene. After the two are together, they give each other face very much. Of course, such two people get along well, but they seem to lack the intimacy of newlyweds.
This is also the reason why Mrs. Cheng is always worried that the two of them are superficial husband and wife. They were so perfect and harmonious, never bickering, never quarreling. It seems to outsiders that although they envy them as a model couple, they always doubt whether it is a fake.
Cheng Yujin also suspected at first that Li Chengjing treated her very well after getting married. Cheng Yujin couldn't help but speculate at the worst, could it be that Li Chengjing did this just to create a perfect image of the prince? Family harmony, petting his wife and loving his wife are also part of his image
But now Cheng Yujin is a little relieved. It doesn't matter what a person says, it matters how you do it. Li Chengjing is a prince, or a prince who has forbeared for many years and waited for an opportunity. She married such a person, how can she blame him for too much? As long as Li Chengjing respects and loves her as always, why is it, and what can be pursued
It wouldn't be if it wasn't vigorous. In fact, Cheng Yujin felt that they were very comfortable getting along like this. She really couldn't bear the feelings of Huo Chang Yuan and Cheng Yumo on Cheng Yujin.
Forsythia sent Ruan and Cheng Yumo back, and was about to return to their lives, but was stopped by Du Ruo at the gate of the main hall.
Du Ruo glanced inside and said, "His Royal Highness and the Crown Princess are talking, you can wait a while before entering."
Forsythia glanced inside and immediately understood. The two of them walked quietly outside the corridor, and Forsythia sighed with emotion: "When they were in Hou's mansion, the second girl and Jingyonghou were so in love, when the second girl talked about Jingyonghou, her eyes were bright, and her whole body was filled with a sense of indomitable progress. But just now I took the second wife and the second girl out, the second girl got into the carriage, and the Hou Jingyong stood by, but the two of them didn't say a word, and they didn't meet a single eye. It's only been a year. It became like this."
Du Ruo also sighed, shook his head and said, "Just ask for benevolence. Let me say something bold and offensive. If you want me to say that the Crown Princess and His Highness are the way to go for a long time. The Crown Princess has been smart since she was a child, and it is especially rare that She knows how to think about others, and she is full of respect for others. Of course she can live a good life when she is married to someone else's family, but she is not as relaxed and comfortable as with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Forsythia nodded, obviously feeling the same. Two people with high EQ and IQ should be together and stop helping the poor.
Forsythia looked in the direction of the palace gate, and then turned back through the window to see the smile on the lips of His Royal Highness Prince, pouring tea for Cheng Yujin. Cheng Yujin picked up the teacup with two fingers and smiled at the prince. The elegant gestures and graceful movements of the two were as beautiful as picture scrolls.
Forsythia and Du Ruoguang couldn't help but smile when they saw it. Not only them, but the other people in the East Palace, seeing the immortal-like relationship between the prince and the prince concubine, which one is not naturally cherished and cannot bear to destroy it at all.
A lot of things happened today, and it must be another sleepless night for many people in the Jingyong Houfu and Yichunhoufu families. However, in the East Palace, where all the changes occurred, the "initiator" couple sat and drank tea, chatting, laughing and feasting.
In this comparison, Forsythia looked extremely comfortable.
