"Stop crying." Cheng Yuanjing wiped away her tears and sighed helplessly, "I've never thought about it this way, even if you want to change the subject, don't put a hat on me."
Cheng Yujin's eyes were still fluttering, and she didn't even look at him.
Cheng Yuanjing understands a bit why it is said that women are difficult to raise. As long as he is sure of his weakness, he will give it a try. Even if Cheng Yuanjing knew that Cheng Yujin was trying to show weakness and retreat, he still had nothing to do when he looked at her tears.
Obviously it's an old-fashioned trick, but who makes it useful
"His Royal Highness has an extraordinary background. Naturally, he doesn't think it's so difficult for ordinary people, and he said why not eat minced meat."
Cheng Yuanjing raised his eyebrows, this is a baseless thing, who said he didn't understand the hardships of people's livelihood? But Cheng Yujin was agitated at the moment, Cheng Yuanjing answered no matter what the crime was, "Okay, I wronged you. Don't cry yet, you are still sick, so be careful with your throat."
Cheng Yujin was emotionally overwhelmed just now, but suddenly she felt very aggrieved. If others questioned her, it would be fine. How could Cheng Yuanjing question her? Now that the energy has passed, Cheng Yujin feels very embarrassed when she thinks about what happened just now.
Cheng Yujin's years have not been easy, but in this world, who can live easily? You don't have to say how hard you work, because everyone who is famous in this world works hard.
She poured these emotions on Cheng Yuanjing, which is actually very unreasonable. What's the matter with Cheng Yuanjing? The problem is that Cheng Yujin doesn't know why she suddenly lost control of her emotions. It seems that Cheng Yuanjing said that she would do anything to get married, and she suddenly couldn't bear the grievances.
Cheng Yuanjing was accused of a big crime by her, but he was not annoyed at all, and still followed her in a good voice, and even felt embarrassed by Cheng Yujin's cheekiness.
Cheng Yuanjing saw that she slowly stopped her voice, and apparently calmed down, and then sighed: "It's better to cry, these words must have been accumulated in your heart for a long time, and it is better to say them than to suppress them all the time."
Cheng Yuanjing is very self-aware. If it wasn't for Cheng Yujin's illness, weakness, and emotional frailty today, she would never have told him these words. The most important thing between husband and wife is communication. With Cheng Yujin's character, nine-and-a-half out of ten sentences are scenes. Now she knows by accident what she thinks and what grievances she has, which can be regarded as a mistake. Mistakes, same way.
At least now Cheng Yuanjing knows that Cheng Yujin doesn't like Lin Qingyuan very much, everything she does is for her own plans. After knowing this, Cheng Yuanjing calmed down in his heart, and even the anger just now dissipated unconsciously. Cheng Yuanjing said: "You chose Lin Qingyuan earlier because he was the best choice within your ability. If there is a better one, what would you do?"
The implication of this sentence is too obvious, Cheng Yujin thought about it again and again, and said after deliberation: "The best in the world is infinite, and what you can get is yours."
Cheng Yujin kept looking at Cheng Yuanjing, and seeing that he didn't react, she boldly continued to say: "Just like our family, I once heard that my father had a concubine, very beautiful and well-behaved, and she was the daughter of a Jinling merchant. The merchant girl became the concubine of the Houmen. According to the truth of the world, she hit the big good fortune, but after she came to the Cheng family, she did not understand the etiquette of the Houmen, and she did not understand the potential rules of the back house. Waiting for my father to be fresh for a few months After that, she fell out of favor. She was very public when she was favored, and later fell into the hands of my mother, without the mother's action, and other concubines taught her a lot of lessons. I vaguely heard that she was pregnant with a baby, but she didn't even arrive. Two months later, she was frail and miscarried."
Cheng Yujin pretended to be very unintentional and said, "So I want to say that the Hou Mansion is of course good for the merchants, but if she can't get these good things in her own hands, she makes wedding clothes for others. Her child accidentally fell off. It is a pity, but even if she is born, I am afraid she will not be able to raise her. In the end, the child will not call her mother, will not give her an old age in the future, and her daughter-in-law will not recognize her as a mother-in-law. It's doomed, no matter how much she struggles in the middle, what's the use. It's far better than marrying the right family, and everything can be done by herself. It's better to be a poor family's wife than a Hou family's concubine, after all, it makes sense. "
After Cheng Yujin finished speaking, he went to peek at Cheng Yuanjing's reaction. Cheng Yuanjing didn't speak for a long time after listening. After a while, he glanced at Cheng Yujin with a very intriguing expression.
"Do you think I want to take you as a concubine?" Cheng Yuanjing was very puzzled. What kind of image did he have in Cheng Yujin's heart
Cheng Yujin looked like she wanted to admit but didn't dare to admit it, pursed her lips and lowered her head. Cheng Yuanjing understood why Cheng Yujin was so excited just now. He first criticized him as a novelty, and later brought out Cheng Yuanxian's example, and faintly accused him of coveting her beauty and taking her as his concubine. Cheng Yujin was really... Cheng Yuanjing didn't know what to do. I want.
Cheng Yuanjing endured it, and in the end he still thought that she was a patient and didn't care about her. Cheng Yuanjing said: "You really think that since you are still sick, I will settle the account with you when you are well."
After speaking, Cheng Yuanjing frowned: "Don't listen to those messy gossips in the future, what concubines, what abortions, this is what you should listen to?"
Cheng Yujin was dissatisfied, and couldn't help but speak up: "You men are allowed to do things that already exist, and no one else is allowed to tell them?"
Cheng Yuanjing was labelled "you men" as soon as he was not careful. Cheng Yuanjing held back his anger and said, "Who said I was like this?"
Cheng Yujin's pupils dilated, and she fixedly looked at Cheng Yuanjing, waiting for the next half sentence of Cheng Yuanjing. Cheng Yuanjing was pulled to the level of Cheng Yuanxian one after another, and he had already endured enough. He originally planned to wait for the decree to come out before telling Cheng Yujin, but now, if he doesn't make it clear, Cheng Yujin will treat him as a lascivious and irresponsible playboy. .
Cheng Yuanjing and Cheng Yujin looked at each other for a long time and said, "I never thought about making you a concubine. To be precise, if you hadn't reminded me, I would have never thought about taking a concubine."
"I rescued you from the water yesterday, and of course it wasn't for nothing, let alone because you are still my nominal niece. I never do anything without return, Yu Jin, the kindness of saving lives from ancient times. How to report, do you understand?"
Cheng Yujin still looked at him blankly, unable to believe it.
Cheng Yuanjing waited for Cheng Yujin's reaction. Cheng Yujin thought about it for a long time, not knowing whether it was because his brain was soaked in water, or Cheng Yuanjing's incompetence. I don't know which of the two of them has more water in their brains, Cheng Yujin thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "His Royal Highness..."
Almost at the same time, Liu Yi's voice came from outside the house: "Master."
Cheng Yujin's prepared words were interrupted, and she suddenly woke up. She stood up with a squeak, and took several steps back until she was five steps away from Cheng Yuanjing. The heart of dividing the line was very obvious.
Cheng Yuanjing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced at the door indifferently. He didn't want to pay attention to the people outside, but Liu Yi couldn't hear his response, so he said it again: "Master, this subordinate has an urgent report."
Liu Yi is not someone who doesn't know the importance of it. He said this, it is obviously really important. Cheng Yuanjing suppressed his emotions and asked, "What's the matter?"
Liu Yi stopped, if he remembered correctly, Miss Cheng was still in the room. Seeing that Cheng Yuanjing didn't seem to have any intention of avoiding Mrs. Cheng, Liu Yi could only continue to say: "Master, people outside have been waiting for a long time, and just sent someone to ask, when will the master arrive?"
Cheng Yujin also felt that Eunuch Liu reported urgent matters at first, and she was not very good at listening in. However, this was Cheng Yujin's house originally, she really didn't know where she could go, so she had to bite the bullet and listen.
Cheng Yujin was a little puzzled, and Liu Yi ignored Cheng Yuanjing's speech and came to the backyard to remind her that she thought it would be a big event, but now it sounds like it doesn't matter.
People outside... Cheng Yujin chewed these words subconsciously, and suddenly thought that Cheng Yuanjing was the prince, who could send someone to urge him and make Liu Yi rush into this situation
Cheng Yujin's face changed suddenly. She remembered that Cheng Yuanjing had changed his clothes when he first arrived. Seeing that he was not in a hurry, Cheng Yujin sat down and talked to her for a long time. It will be fine for a while. However, the person he was going to see was actually the emperor
Cheng Yujin's face turned pale, she actually delayed the Holy Sage's time, and cried and made trouble for the emperor to wait so long. Cheng Yujin's face was red and white, she just wanted to let Cheng Yuanjing go out quickly, where did she remember what she was going to say just now.
"Ninth Uncle, I didn't know that there were still people waiting for you. It's not too late, you go quickly."
Cheng Yuanjing was in a very irritable mood, and he was about to talk about it soon, but he chose this time. He turned around and saw Cheng Yujin's eager face, so he could not wait to push him out.
This little heartless.
Cheng Yuanjing sighed silently, and had to stand up and go out. Seeing Cheng Yuanjing coming out, Liu Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
However, before Liu Yi could swallow his breath, he saw the master in front of him stopped again, turned his head and said to the back, "I'll go back when I go, and I'll continue to tell you what happened just now when I come back."
Cheng Yujin stopped at the door and watched Cheng Yuanjing leave, Cheng Yuanjing stopped suddenly, Cheng Yujin was stunned, and after reacting, he immediately responded: "Yes."
Cheng Yuanjing also knew that he should go. He looked at Cheng Yujin and seemed worried in every possible way: "I have already sent someone a message from Cheng's house. You don't have to move back during this time, and you can stay here to recuperate with peace of mind."
Cheng Yuanjing has already sent someone to talk to the Cheng family. What can Cheng Yujin do? He can only nod: "Okay."
Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has not felt the taste of waiting for others for many years. Especially yesterday, after waiting for a long time, the other party turned back halfway after walking, and even today, the emperor sent people to urge him repeatedly, only to receive the news from the eunuch that the prince had gone out.
The emperor was speechless for a while, and if he didn't know, he thought he was begging to see Cheng Yuanjing. The emperor learned about Cheng Yuanjing's itinerary from the eunuch.
After the emperor left, Empress Yang, who was originally focused on looking at the lamp, suddenly turned her gaze. She looked at the direction in which the emperor was leaving, and her slender eyebrows slowly twitched.
Not only Empress Yang, but also the concubines who came out to see the lights knew that the Emperor was gone. Yesterday, the emperor disappeared for a while inexplicably. Today, I have to go out to the palace to see the lanterns. Although the emperor joked and laughed with everyone this night, the concubines present were able to fight from the many beauties in the harem, all of them human. Jing, they have long noticed that the emperor seems to be out of his mind.
Now, the emperor listened to the eunuch's whisper, and it didn't take long before he made an excuse to leave. The signs before and after are intertwined together, so Queen Yang and the ladies cannot think too much about it.
They don't think in the direction of the prince. The prince has been missing for fourteen years. The former harem has long since acquiesced that the prince is dead. All the concubines, including Empress Yang, suspected that the emperor had taken a fancy to a certain folk woman, and took the opportunity to hang out with wild flowers these two days.
Queen Yang's face sank. Although the lanterns presented were still gorgeous and the juggling troupe was still wonderful, there was no smile on Queen Yang's face. This is the case with Empress Yang. Even if the other concubines want to join in the fun, they will feel resentful if they don't get a smiling face, so they all restrain their laughter.
He tried his best to please the eunuchs above. So, this is a juggling troupe he specially recruited. He thought he could take advantage of this opportunity to make a lot of money, but why did the masters suddenly cool down? Upstairs in Zhanxingxing, the stagnant atmosphere spreads layer by layer, and at this moment in a partial room in the attic, the people inside still don't know anything.
The emperor calmed down and asked, "What happened to you yesterday? I heard from the eunuch that you even called an imperial doctor?"
Liu Yi regained his identity here, and looked at the many eunuchs by the wall, bowing his head and daring not to come out. Cheng Yuanjing took it easy and said: "I met someone who fell into the water on the road. After I rescued her, her clothes were wet, and it was not easy to come to face the saint, so I went back to the house to clean up my appearance. Erchen did not dare to let His Majesty wait too long, so I asked Your Majesty will go back to the palace first."
"Saving people?" The emperor was at a loss when he heard it. "Who are you saving? Even if you save people, what about the eunuchs and guards beside you, who actually let you personally take risks?"
When the eunuch who followed Cheng Yuanjing heard this, he all knelt down, and the eunuch who was in front of the royal watched his nose and nose, and stared at the dust on the ground without moving. The attendants were quite frightened, but Cheng Yuanjing didn't care. He didn't bother about this topic, but said, "Your Majesty, I have something to do, I would like to ask your permission."
The emperor had an inexplicable feeling that the original plan had been derailed since Cheng Yuanjing missed the appointment yesterday. The emperor was very calm and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Please give your son a marriage." Cheng Yuanjing lifted the hem of his clothes and bowed to the emperor in a standard salutation, "Please, Your Majesty, please give me a marriage for my son and Cheng Yujin, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Yichun."
