Cheng Yuanjing was very helpless when he heard the emperor's words. The two of them are well aware of the situation in front of them. Now Cheng Yuanjing is standing in front of the emperor. The emperor still looks like an old father in vicissitudes.
Whether he is married or not, does the emperor not know
Cheng Yuanjing didn't want to speak at all, he didn't even bother to lift his eyelids, and quietly looked at the patterns on the seat. At this time, Cheng Yuanjing felt that Cheng Yujin turned his head and glanced at him quietly, his eyes seemed to be watching the excitement and ridiculing.
Cheng Yuanjing met her gaze unceremoniously. Cheng Yujin didn't expect that she would be caught snickering by the client. She immediately restrained her smile and looked dignified, disciplined and a model girl, as if nothing had happened, and silently turned her head away. .
Cheng Yuanjing became more and more angry. Anyone who is urged to get married in front of her face and around the corner will not be in a good mood. What's especially irritating is that Cheng Yujin has no idea, but she still has the heart to watch the fun.
Cheng Yuanjing's face became colder.
No one dared to accept the words of the emperor. The disappearance of the prince is a well-known thing in the whole dynasty. As the second prince grew older, the Empress Dowager Yang and Yang Shoufu made it clear that they liked the second prince. If the prince is alive and he still leaves children in the people, what should we do
Huo Chang Yuan was also afraid of getting burned, so he only dared to lower his head and listen, not answering or answering. In fact, the emperor didn't plan to let them pick it up, and he didn't say this to people like Huo Chang Yuan. After the emperor pretended to sigh, he calmly looked at Cheng Yuanjing's reaction, and found that the eldest son still looked cold and indifferent, as if the person in the emperor's voice was not him at all.
The emperor was a little disappointed. But he thought about it again, the joy and anger are invisible, calm and indifferent, this is the demeanor of the prince of a country. In this regard, Li Chengjing has undoubtedly done very well.
In contrast, the eldest eldest is not yet married, and the details such as the sign that the emperor has not let the emperor hold a grandson are not so important. What's more, although the emperor is in a hurry, if Cheng Yuanjing really wants to marry a wife, the emperor must investigate the woman carefully.
How can the future crown princess be sloppy.
But facts are facts, Cheng Yuanjing's eldest age is not married yet, and it is the emperor's heart disease after all. Because of the dispute between the queens, it was very late when Empress Zhong was born to Cheng Yuanjing, and the emperor had his eldest son only at the age of twenty-three. Back then, when the emperor had no children, he was so anxious to destroy a group of ministers. Now, Cheng Yuanjing is even later. He is twenty years old this year, and he has no sign of marrying a wife.
The emperor sighed inwardly, fortunately, Cheng Yuanjing will be public soon. When the affairs of the East Palace are arranged next year, it is also time to put the matter of marrying the crown princess on the agenda.
The following people don't know the skill of the words, the emperor has already pondered the suitable candidate for the crown princess in Beijing. The emperor thought about it for a while, only to realize that he didn't care much about the juniors over the years. He didn't even know that there was a girl of the right age in the capital.
The emperor looked at Huo Chang Yuan, and like many gentle and rambling middle-aged men, he became curious about the young man's private affairs. The emperor asked Huo Chang Yuan, "You said you've been married for three months, which woman is that?"
The emperor's mind was actually very simple. He knew in advance how Huo Chang Yuan and his wife knew each other. He could also use it as a reference to choose a wife for Li Chengjing.
Huo Chang Yuan was flattered to hear that he and the emperor had spoken more today than in the past twenty years combined. Moreover, the saint asked about military affairs to express his trust, and asked about family matters such as Chenghou and marriage, showing that he was close.
What an honor this is! Huo Chang Yuan suppressed his surprise and said, "Zhuojing is the daughter of the Cheng family of the Marquis of Yichun. She has the grace of saving my life. After I return to the mansion, I will pay a lot of money to be hired as my wife."
Yo, there is a life-saving grace, the emperor is in trouble. This is too difficult, and there is no reference. The emperor was disgusted by the Qingxuanguan incident. He did not hope that Li Chengjing would encounter any more dangers, so that he would lose news and rely on people from the people to save him.
The emperor nodded, and the thought of continuing to ask has faded. He glanced at Cheng Yujin, and then he understood why the four were standing together. It turns out that the Huo family and the Cheng family are in-laws, and Li Chengjing's nominal surname is Cheng, so it is not abrupt to appear here. Using a newlywed couple to cover up, Li Chengjing arranged it well.
After the emperor wanted to understand, he felt that something was wrong. The woman said just now that she is the daughter of Cheng's family. Seeing that she is dressed up and not married, then which daughter of the Cheng family is Huo Chang Yuan marrying? Could it be that he married an aunt
The emperor was curious and asked again: "You married the daughter of Marquis Yichun? Marquis Yichun even has a daughter of the right age?"
Now that the filial piety period of Lord Cheng has not expired, Cheng Yuanxian has not yet assumed the title, and the Lord of Yichun is still Lord Cheng. Huo Chang Yuan was very embarrassed when he heard the emperor's misunderstanding, so he could only explain for Cheng Yumo: "Reporting to the sage, Zhuo Jing is the second granddaughter of the old marquis, not a aunt. Miss Cheng is the elder sister of Zhuo Jing's family, and the two are twins, wife and elder sister. When he was a child, he was adopted to the knee of the Lord of Qingfu County, Dafang."
The emperor understood, it turned out that the two women were sisters, so he said that the Marquis of Yichun were in their 70s and 80s, how could they still give birth to a daughter of fifteen or sixteen years old. The emperor looked at Cheng Yujin and Cheng Yumo, and asked strangely, "You are twins, why don't you look alike?"
Here comes the exact same problem. Cheng Yujin couldn't tell how tired she was. She had answered this question countless times since she was a child. Every lady who was a guest would always ask similar questions once they found out that they were twins.
"Are you older sister or younger sister? Why do you two look different?"
Not all twins in the world look exactly the same, Cheng Yujin sighed quietly and replied, "Your Majesty, my second sister and I are not very similar when we were born. It has been like this all these years."
Seeing that the emperor was still curious, Cheng Yuanjing added on the side: "The two of them have the same reason as the dragon and the phoenix, but they are just a pair of sisters."
Cheng Yuanjing said this and the emperor immediately understood. The emperor was amazed, twins are rare, and twins who don't look alike are even more rare. You must know that dragon and phoenix fetuses have always been auspicious signs. Although this is a pair of sisters, there is not much difference in essence.
The emperor didn't ask why the twin sister didn't get married. Instead, Huo Changyuan married his younger sister first, so the emperor wouldn't care about these trivial matters. The emperor asked excitedly, "Huo Chang Yuan, your wife is twins. Wouldn't it be easier to give birth to twins in the future?"
Cheng Yumo was extremely embarrassed to hear this question. For a woman, this is not a blessing, but a clear pressure. Everyone is looking forward to her giving birth to a pair of twin sons, what if she doesn't come out
Even Cheng Yujin lowered his head and refused to talk easily. Huo Chang Yuan was also very embarrassed. When the emperor spoke, he didn't dare not answer, but who could guarantee the matter of the heir
Huo Chang Yuan didn't know what to say, Cheng Yuanjing stood aside, hearing this was really unbearable. The more the emperor asked, the more boundless he became. Cheng Yuanjing interrupted in a light tone: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Jingyong Hou has just left the cabinet, and she has a thin skin. It's not good to ask these questions."
Cheng Yuanjing's voice contained a warning, indicating that the emperor was almost done. Huo Chang Yuan glared at Cheng Yuanjing in surprise.
Cheng Yuanjing is crazy, how dare he speak to the emperor like this
Huo Chang Yuan was about to make amends on Cheng Yuanjing's behalf, but he saw the emperor smiled and said that he would not pursue it again. Huo Chang Yuan was even more astonished. The Holy Sage, who is the honorary of the Ninety-five Five, speaks so kindly
Cheng Yujin's heart was clear, and she understood Huo Changyuan's mood at the moment. Of course the emperor would not be so kind. He was not angry if he was interrupted by others, but it was because the person who interrupted him was his son. If it were another person, I'm afraid I might not be able to stand well now.
The emperor saw that it was almost time, stood up and said to them: "You young people, continue to visit the garden, I am here, you can't let go. It is true that young people want to serve the country, but they should start a family before starting a business, and they can't be left behind when they get married and have children. "
Cheng Yuanjing snorted softly, and it was obvious to whom to hear these words.
After the emperor beat the eldest son under cover, he was relaxed, and with many servants, he left like a heavy rain. After the emperor left, the remaining few people still had the heart to visit the garden, Huo Chang Yuan hurriedly confessed to Cheng Yumo, and was about to go outside.
The emperor walked up the porch, and when he looked back, he saw the four people walking down the steps just now, facing each other. Huo Chang Yuan stood with his new wife, and on the opposite side were his eldest son and the eldest daughter of the Cheng family.
After not seeing him for a few years, Li Chengjing has grown taller and looks more and more like the prince expected by everyone. He said goodbye to the people, and the beautiful eldest granddaughter of the Cheng family was by his side, who seemed to be more matched than the real couple on the opposite side.
"Long live?"
The eunuch called out softly, and the emperor returned to his senses, and quickly withdrew his gaze, so that he could no longer see the figure.
On the other side, Cheng Yujin and Cheng Yuanjing also bid farewell to Huo Changyuan and his wife. Mian Sheng is not a trivial matter. Huo Chang Yuan has many things to discuss with his cronies. He didn't have time to delay, and said quickly, "Len Dong, you escort Madam and Miss Cheng back, and greeted my mother instead of me."
The little tussle known as Rendong was fighting for thousands of times, but Cheng Yuanjing said calmly on the side: "Jingyong Hou only needs to take care of Mrs. Hou, and the eldest girl will be sent back by me."
Huo Chang Yuan was stunned for a moment: "There are many people inside, and there are still many important things in front of the royal family. It is good for them and sisters to go together."
"I know." Cheng Yuanjing nodded, "There are so many people inside, I have to send her off myself."
Cheng Yuanjing's words were light, but the meaning was undeniable. Huo Chang Yuan looked at Cheng Yuanjing several times, but in the end he didn't say anything: "Okay."
Cheng Yumo saw that Cheng Yuanjing made a special trip to accompany Cheng Yujin back, with envy in his eyes: "Ninth uncle is so attentive, and he even sent eldest sister in person."
Huo Chang Yuan, however, sneered and said: "The man is standing upright, there are so many important things waiting outside, how can I waste such idle time with my daughters? I saw Cheng Yuanjing taking up a high-ranking official position at a young age, and I thought he was a man with a big heart. , I didn't expect that he, like Xu Zhixian's other fat-skinned sons, is indulging in the inner house, and it may not be a great thing in the future."
Cheng Yumo's eyes flashed with disappointment, and she lowered her head and said, "What Marquis said is true. It's not that my concubine doesn't know the way, so why waste Marquis' time? Marquis, hurry up and get back to work."
Cheng Yujin walked for a while, and seeing that there was no one on either side, she whispered to Cheng Yuanjing, "Ninth uncle, I recognize the rest of the way. There are still people waiting outside, so you don't need to send it off."
"It doesn't matter." Cheng Yuanjing said, "Whenever they wait, they will wait. Today, Xiangji Temple is full of fish and dragons, and there are people on the road. I saw you enter the door and go back with my own eyes."
Cheng Yujin knew that Cheng Yuanjing could not be beaten, so she stopped talking. Although he is cold and indifferent, he is very patient and graceful no matter whether he went shopping with her last time or sent her home now. The dignified crown prince is much easier to get along with than those half-hearted princes.
Cheng Yuanjing walked for a while, saw Cheng Yujin not talking, glanced at her expression, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, what are you thinking?"
Cheng Yujin, however, restrained his joking expression, and looked at him very seriously: "I was thinking, Jiu Shu is sensible, virtuous, dignified and self-disciplined, but has always been gentle and patient with the elderly, the weak, women and children, you will definitely be a good, very good person in the future. the prince."
Cheng Yuanjing's people have already cleared the surrounding area, and Cheng Yujin's words are not afraid of being heard. Cheng Yuanjing didn't expect her to say such words suddenly, and her expression shook. After reacting, he said, "Why do you suddenly say this? What do you want to do?"
Cheng Yujin is the best at saying good things to coax people. Cheng Yuanjing thought that Cheng Yujin was asking for something, but Cheng Yujin still looked at him seriously, with dark and bright eyes: "This is my sincere words. I can have you like this. His Royal Highness is the blessing of all beings like me."
Cheng Yuanjing's mouth tightened even more. Cheng Yujin has never been stingy at the scene, but fortunately, in front of him, Cheng Yujin no longer pretends to be, and it is rare to show some true temperament. For the first time, she complimented him directly.
And it's not the usual garish and flashy official rhetoric in the officialdom, she said these words very seriously. No one doesn't like being complimented, especially in front of the woman they like.
Cheng Yuanjing glanced at her with a face and said, "Look at the road well." But the corners of his eyes and brows softened obviously.
It seems that his forbearance and hard work for many years, those hardships that no one can see in the middle of the night, have meaning.
He thought, no wonder there is always the shadow of a woman beside any successful man. Such gentle words, such gentle and adoring eyes, no one can stand it.
