Cheng Yujin sat in the inner room and quietly listened to the palace maid's story about the front hall. This palace maid went to the front hall to deliver tea, and when she went in to pour tea, she happened to hear the prince and his staff discussing matters. She was shocked when she heard that the prince wanted to accept the concubine, and hurried to the back to report to the concubine.
Cheng Yujin didn't speak after listening, Du Ruo and Forsythia served aside, and her face changed slightly after hearing the palace maid's words: "Prince Concubine."
Cheng Yujin's face was light, and there was no change in her expression. She sat there in silence for a long time, raised her hand, and said, "I see, you go down."
The palace maid didn't dare to say more, and quickly retreated. After the palace maid left, Du Ruo and Lianqiao both frowned and gathered around: "Prince Concubine, there may be some misunderstanding in this matter. Could it be that the palace maid misunderstood?"
"Even who the other party's surname is, and what his father's official position is, how could he have heard it wrong?" Cheng Yujin sat there, obviously her posture had not changed, but she suddenly lost interest when she saw all this in front of her, "Five The only daughter of the general of the barracks, with a fair temperament and an extraordinary family background, she is naturally worthy of His Highness."
When Forsythia heard the name of the daughter of the general's mansion, it was as disgusting as swallowing a fly: "She is really... If she is really moved by the relationship between His Royal Highness and the Crown Princess, you should look at it from a distance and bless the Crown Princess and the two children. Mistress. She is very good. She wants to marry into the East Palace to be a concubine. She also has the reputation of not intervening between the prince and the princess, but she is only close to the guardian gods and immortals. That's fine, but to use such an innocent and pure excuse."
Forsythia was so angry that Du Ruo felt very helpless when she heard it. She looked at Cheng Yujin worriedly, and asked, "Prince Concubine, if this woman is not something to be afraid of at ordinary times, but it happens that His Highness is in critical condition at this moment and urgently needs manpower...Prince Concubine, what do you think we should do?"
"What should I do?" Cheng Yujin smiled very lightly, stood up and walked back, "What does His Royal Highness want to do, who can stop it? General Dong wants to take the opportunity to seek refuge and marry His Highness into a family with children, Miss Dong has to If you get what you want, the prince can also get half of the five army camps. This is obviously a good deal that is beneficial to the three parties. What does it have to do with me? What can I do, and what use can it be?"
"Princess Princess..."
Cheng Yujin obviously did not want to talk about it anymore, and asked, "Where is the bright moon and the bright moon?"
"The two little masters are still sleeping, and the nanny and grandma are guarding in front of you."
"Well." Cheng Yujin nodded and said, "Take care of me. There are a lot of mosquitoes these days. Their flesh is tender, and they cannot be bitten by mosquitoes."
"Yes."
Cheng Yujin walked into the study, her face was cold and her voice was calm throughout the whole process, and she looked normal. Forsythia and Du Ruo looked at each other and didn't dare to bring up the topic just now.
The Crown Princess was obviously in a bad mood, and even Du Ruo, the old people who came from her family's house, dared not speak, let alone other people. The Ciqing Palace was quiet, quiet and depressed.
After Li Chengjing learned that a palace maid came out of the front hall and went directly to the back, his heart sank slightly. Most of the palace maids went to report the letter, and Li Chengjing was negligent. After the discussion was over, he immediately came to the bedroom.
After Li Chengjing entered the palace, he found that the atmosphere in the palace was indescribably dull. Li Chengjing's guess became more and more invented. He and the palace maid asked Cheng Yujin's location and walked straight to the study.
Li Chengjing entered the door and saw Cheng Yujin was painting. He lightly stepped forward, took the plate containing the red elixir to Cheng Yujin's hand, and said, "Are you painting the Mid-Autumn Festival pattern for Ming Gan Mingyue?"
Li Chengjing put the paint she was going to use close, and was about to stand to the side to watch Cheng Yujin's painting, but Cheng Yujin suddenly put down the pen, put the scroll away from one side, and said, "I don't dare to bother Your Highness to do it, the concubine will come by herself. it is good."
Li Chengjing's hand was empty, his eyebrows moved, and he slowly looked at Cheng Yujin.
Cheng Yujin lowered her eyes and put a few plates of paint back into the box one after another, as if she didn't notice Li Chengjing standing aside. Li Chengjing withdrew his hand, wrapped his sleeves with his hands behind him, and said, "Did you hear that?"
Cheng Yujin packed up the scrolls and paints, and then went out: "I don't know what Your Highness is talking about."
Li Chengjing suddenly reached out to hold her arm, and he was so strong that he directly restrained Cheng Yujin. Cheng Yujin pulled her hands hard and tried several times but failed to break free. Li Chengjing turned her around and forced her to look into his eyes: "You don't ask me at all?"
Cheng Yujin was still trying to struggle, and when she heard Li Chengjing's words, she raised her brows slightly, thinking it was very funny: "The palace maid on the front foot came here, and His Highness on the back foot came back. Do I need to ask?"
Li Chengjing held back his anger and said as calmly as possible: "That palace maid leaked secrets privately, spread false news, and should be punished. Where is she?"
"No." Cheng Yujin finally couldn't bear it anymore, she broke free from Li Chengjing's hand, took a step back, raised her head and stared straight at Li Chengjing's eyes, "Your Highness, what does this mean? If she is punished this time, who else would dare to do so in the future? Message me?"
Li Chengjing was secretly angry: "Her behavior is against the rules of the palace, and she leaks secrets privately, so as to provoke the relationship between you and me. It is not enough to convince the public without severe punishment."
"Does her behavior go against the rules of the palace, or against the rules of His Royal Highness?" Cheng Yujin suddenly raised her voice and asked. She stared at Li Chengjing with frosty eyes: "In the past, the palace servants told me about His Highness's itinerary, and you never pursued it with me. Now the palace maid secretly passed the news to me before you accepted the concubine, and finally angered His Royal Highness. ?"
Li Chengjing took a deep breath, took a step forward and held her shoulder, and said, "I never had this plan. When you first got married, you thought that I had taken your fancy to your beauty and took you as a concubine. When you first got married, you In order to appease the queen, you want to stuff me with someone, but now, with just a few words from a palace maid, you suspect that I want to take the concubine? In your heart, you never trusted me, did you?"
Cheng Yujin's eyes suddenly glistened with water, she turned her head sharply, and broke Li Chengjing's hand with all her strength, but she couldn't shake his arm even with all her strength. She struggled to no avail, turned around and stared at Li Chengjing hard: "Let go."
Li Chengjing turned a blind eye, still staring into her eyes, as if he wanted to see her heart: "Why don't you answer my question? After two years of marriage, have you ever trusted me? Have you ever been tempted?"
They have been married for two full years since last month. In the past two years, they have never quarreled, not even a cold war or a quarrel. Outsiders told this as a good story, and they praised the gentleness and reasonableness of the prince and the princess, and never quarreled. However, when the fairy tale was finally shattered, this was the first and only quarrel since their marriage.
Cheng Yujin and Li Chengjing are both cautious and thoughtful, not like other couples who make a big fight if they disagree. But sometimes, when two people quarreled, the conflict broke up. Like Cheng Yujin and Li Chengjing, they kept accumulating and repressing. Once they broke out, it would be a fatal crisis.
Cheng Yujin's emotions are cold, and self-interest comes first. When Li Chengjing first got married, he felt that it didn't matter, as long as she was by his side, it was enough. But in fact people are selfish and greedy, Li Chengjing's feelings for Cheng Yujin couldn't be more clear, Cheng Yujin would also laugh at him in these years, be gentle and considerate. What she did was so perfect that Li Chengjing couldn't help but wonder if Cheng Yujin was such a good wife for anyone else, would Cheng Yujin treat him like this for any man
Li Chengjing didn't want to think about these things, and it was rare to be confused. Once some things were investigated and understood, they couldn't go back. Li Chengjing has always told himself in his heart that this is also very good, she and her children are by her side, she has both children, her family is harmonious, and everyone praises her. All this is perfect enough, what more does he expect
But today's matter of taking the concubine side, still instantly ignited the suspicion in Li Chengjing's heart. Cheng Yujin recognized the daughter of General Dong he wanted to accept without asking a word. In her heart, what exactly was he? In the past two years, after getting along day and night, has she ever put him in her heart
The matter of concubine side is just an introduction at best. The suspicion of the two of them about each other's feelings is the root cause of this dispute. This hidden danger is extremely deadly, but the two of them don't talk about it, and they are still gentle and considerate when they get along. The contradiction between the two of them is usually invisible, until today, it finally exploded.
Cheng Yujin heard Li Chengjing's words, tears welling in her eyes: "What did you say? You question me like this?"
Seeing Cheng Yujin crying, Li Chengjing was obviously startled, and the strength in his hands relaxed unconsciously. Cheng Yujin didn't pay attention to the loosening of the shackles on her shoulders. She tried her best to endure, but tears still fell from her eyes: "What right do you have to question me? Does it make a difference? Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also thinks that I should protect your body like a jade, and you are all alone, but you can have three wives and four concubines, hugging from left to right? Li Chengjing, even if it is my father, has always been surrounded by people in the capital. I don't like the wine bag and rice bag, and I have never made such a request to my wives and concubines."
The feeling in Li Chengjing's heart was very indescribable, and he said helplessly: "Are you comparing me to Cheng Yuanxian again?"
"The crown prince is strategizing and fighting every step of the way. Of course my father is not worthy of comparison with His Royal Highness." Cheng Yujin still had tears in her eyes, but her eyes were aggressive, "His Royal Highness is now framed by a traitor and has been deposed and banned from the East Palace. The people and officials are very supportive of His Highness. To hold the injustice, His Royal Highness should be in line with the will of the people at this moment, set things right, slay the demons, and restore the peace. The next thing Your Highness needs to do is so important, of course, the more troops, the better, and the bigger the forces you can win over, the better. Your Highness has already planned this. For a long time, why did you hesitate at the last step? You accept General Dong's daughter as your chosen servant, you are good to the East Palace and General Dong, and you can also gain a daughter who is very infatuated with His Highness. What is His Highness hesitating? Anyway, I am Now that there is a bright moon and a bright moon, Your Highness no longer has to worry about the issue of the eldest son. As a crown princess, I should understand the righteousness and support Your Highness’s cause unconditionally. Rest assured, Your Highness, I will never be your resistance.”
"I never thought about taking a concubine." Li Chengjing found that Cheng Yujin was angry now, and tried to avoid the topic, "You calm down first. Concubine Na side is just a suggestion from an aide, and I have already rejected it. The palace maid only listened to half of it, the fact it's not true."
"If you don't usually express similar meaning, would your staff make such a suggestion?" Cheng Yujin didn't care at all, her eyes were so bright that knives almost flew out of it, "So you really think so? Do you want to do something else? Marrying a new person, but still wanting me to be loyal to you. Worried that I would disagree, I took the lead and said that I didn't care about you, and I never trusted you. Your behavior is not as good as Cheng Yuanxian! "
Li Chengjing found that he couldn't talk about Cheng Yujin at all, so he sighed and said, "I won't argue with you, and we'll talk about this when you calm down."
"Reasonable is justified, and unreasonable is unreasonable. The reason will only become clearer and clearer. What does the prince mean by not having a verbal dispute with me? Do you think I am arguing?"
Li Chengjing was blocked so much that he couldn't speak. He used to watch Huo Chang Yuan's liveliness, but he really didn't expect that one day, he would also be scolded.
Li Chengjing finally realized the feelings of Ruan, Huo Xue, Huo Changyuan and others at the beginning. Cheng Yujin was too able to speak, and had no power to reply. Saying anything is wrong, and not speaking is even more wrong. Li Chengjing completely gave up reasoning with Cheng Yujin, stretched out his arms and hugged Cheng Yujin: "Okay, what you say is what, I can't argue with you. But the concubine thing is purely because you wronged me, you can listen to me and tell the rest half. Finished speaking."
"Let go of me!" Cheng Yujin was in a fit of rage, when suddenly Li Chengjing hugged her whole body, and she was very angry, "Don't touch me, use your hands and feet to change the subject."
Li Chengjing got angry when he heard these words, he picked Cheng Yujin up on the desk, clasped his chin and kissed it directly. Cheng Yujin was halfway through speaking, and suddenly her mouth was blocked. Li Chengjing used to be very gentle. When he had never forced her in this way, his aura was too strong. Cheng Yujin was completely plundered and could not help but fall back. The air in her chest became less and less, and she gradually felt that it was difficult to breathe, and she couldn't help beating Li Chengjing's shoulder with her hands.
After Li Chengjing finally let go of her, both of them were breathing heavily. Only at this time did Cheng Yujin realize that she was lying on the table completely, and the scrolls on both sides were swept to the ground at some point. Cheng Yujin covered the corner of her lips that she didn't know who was bitten by, and looked around, feeling that it was simply out of place. She wanted to get down quickly to restore her demeanor, but was stopped by Li Chengjing. Li Chengjing put his arms on her sides, completely blocking Cheng Yujin's way. Cheng Yujin was in a hurry and pushed his arm hard: "Get out of the way, what will happen when someone comes in?"
"There's no one there for a long time." Li Chengjing was completely unmoved. The people serving in the palace heard the movement of the study room, and they had long since withdrawn. Although it wasn't what they had guessed, there was no one in the hall now. If Li Chengjing really wanted to do something, he could actually do it.
Li Chengjing stopped Cheng Yujin and was very determined: "First finish what you said before going on. Don't let me touch you, eh?"
Cheng Yujin opened Li Chengjing's hand angrily: "Qingtian Bairi, what are you doing?"
"What if I have to do it?"
Cheng Yujin covered her neckline, her eyes were round and round, Li Chengjing sighed, stretched out her hand to straighten Cheng Yujin's hair that had fallen out of her struggle, and said, "I will never force you to do things you don't like, you even treat me like that. No trust at all?"
Cheng Yujin was silent. She was half lying on the large desk at the moment, the ink and scrolls on both sides were scattered, Li Chengjing's sleeves were gathered beside her and overlapped with her skirt. Li Chengjing said: "It is my principle to do what I say. I promised you alone at first. If you don't believe me, I will say in front of everyone that I have no children before I take a concubine. Now, thanks to you, let me be a concubine at twenty. I have a son at a few years old, and the road to concubine has been blocked, what are you worried about?"
Cheng Yujin didn't speak, but her eyes were obviously evaluating the temptation. Li Chengjing sighed slightly and said, "It was my fault just now. I was too anxious and made you cry. I never thought of letting a third person insert ourselves into us, and General Dong, I have also clearly rejected it. message."
"real?"
"Really." Li Chengjing couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he said this, "If it wasn't for that palace maid who listened to the wind or the rain and didn't understand anything and came to send you a letter, you wouldn't know about this matter at all. It's because of me. From now on, I will handle it properly, and I will never let them disturb you. Not now, not in the future."
Cheng Yujin is invincible all over the world, and now he is a little embarrassed to hear Li Chengjing say this: "Just now, did I misunderstand you?"
"Yes, I am really wronged."
Feeling guilty and funny, Cheng Yujin couldn't help but burst out laughing and pushed him gently: "Okay, I'm the one who blamed you wrong, I'll trust you in the future. Get out of the way, the children are waking up."
"What's the hurry?" Li Chengjing didn't move at all, even propped up his body with one hand, grabbed Cheng Yujin's chin with the other hand, and slowly approached down, "I asked you the first question, and you haven't answered it yet."
Seeing that he was about to stick it down, Cheng Yujin had to move back, and with the movement of his elbow, a lot of things were swept away: "What?"
"You do not know?"
"You said so much just now, how can I remember which one it was?"
"Okay." Li Chengjing nodded very generously, not embarrassing his beloved wife who fell off the table quickly, "If you can't remember, then don't go down."
"Go away! The child is going to cry in a while, let the palace people come in and see, what a formality!"
"There is so much movement in the study, do you think they don't know what happened? I can't take the name of prostitution out of thin air."
Cheng Yujin blushed when she heard the word: "Shut up!"
"Speak or not?"
Cheng Yujin bit her lip secretly, and the red cloud burned from her face to her neck. After holding it for a long time, she finally said in a low voice, "Well."
Li Chengjing waited for a long time, and when he heard this word, his eyebrows were raised in surprise: "I waited for a long time, and you just said the word ok?"
"Are you annoyed?" Cheng Yujin slapped him on the shoulder angrily, "You can take it as soon as you see it, and don't make an inch."
As the crown prince, Li Chengjing was warned for the first time to "take it as soon as possible". He had to relax his strength aggrievedly. Seeing that Cheng Yujin was about to break free, he suddenly changed his mind and took Cheng Yujin's waist with a palm. : "You have wronged me for so long, and you won't be compensated?"
Li Chengjing gestured to his lips, Cheng Yujin glared at him with round almond eyes, Li Chengjing saw that the kiss was fruitless, so he lowered his head and pressed Cheng Yujin's lips: "Then I will make it up for you."
Cheng Yujin endured it, and burst out laughing. She glared at Li Chengjing, the beauty was shy and angry, looking forward to Shenfei, she was extremely beautiful.
Li Chengjing couldn't help laughing, this time he didn't make Cheng Yujin difficult, but let her go.
After Cheng Yujin slipped away like a rabbit, Li Chengjing looked at the messy study with a satisfied smile on his lips. Cheng Yujin's last sentence was obviously answering his previous question.
Married for two years, have you ever been tempted
Although she just gave a small "um", but it was enough. She has such a character, if she can admit one point, she has ten points in her heart.
In fact, he should have thought of it a long time ago. Cheng Yujin suddenly became so angry when he heard that he wanted to take the concubine side today, which has already explained the problem. If she really had no feelings for him as he thought, when she heard Concubine Na side, she should analyze the Dong family's power rationally and objectively, instead of being angry.
It's a pity that both of them were wrapped up in emotions at the time, and neither of them wanted to understand. But fortunately, there are doubts in my heart, it's good to have an attack, otherwise it will become increasingly depressed, and maybe the foundation of the couple's relationship will be eroded at some time.
Now that the two of them have spoken to each other, they both understand each other's intentions, which is a pleasant surprise.
·
Cheng Yujin ran to the side hall to see the children. Fortunately, the two babies slept soundly and were not woken up.
Cheng Yujin was completely embarrassed to call in, she shook the two babies gently, her mind drifting away slowly. I don't know if it was because she was suspicious, but she always felt that there was still warmth on her face.
Cheng Yujin was distracted, so did she also move her heart towards Li Chengjing unknowingly? She doesn't know how to define love, but at least she knows that this deep, vast and strong feeling of exclusion will never be a normal relationship between family members and friends.
Cheng Yujin was thinking about her thoughts and became engrossed unknowingly, not knowing when Forsythia and Du Ruo came in. Forsythia and Du Ruo didn't dare to listen to what the prince and the princess did, but now, seeing the two masters reunited, the prince's anger disappeared. Forsythia and Du Ruo both breathed a sigh of relief, and their smiles returned to their faces. . Not only them, but other palace people in the hall as well.
Minggan started crying shortly after, he closed his eyes and stared at his legs. Cheng Yujin knew at a glance that he was wet again, and sure enough, after changing him into clean clothes and cool bedding, he fell asleep again.
Cheng Yujin changed Li Minggan's clothes lightly, and then wiped the hands and feet of the two children. After finishing her work, Cheng Yujin raised her head and found that there was no movement outside for a while, and asked, "Where's Your Highness?"
"Just now the father-in-law has passed the letter, and the prince is going to the Qianqing Palace to meet the saint."
Cheng Yujin responded, took a fan from the side, and gently fanned the two children. For some reason, she sat for a while and felt uneasy. The palace maid took the fan in Cheng Yujin's hand, and after Cheng Yujin carefully instructed, she led the person out. She took two steps and suddenly stopped: "No, why did the emperor call him to the Qianqing Palace? Didn't the emperor live in the Yinghua Palace these days?"
