Cheng Yujin seldom fell ill from childhood to adulthood, but he did not expect this disease to be menacing. Although the fever has been controlled, the forehead has been hot for several days, and the whole person is groggy.
So long in the river in winter is not a joke, Cheng Yujin is in a bad mood and can't do anything. The servants in the yard didn't dare to disturb Cheng Yujin's recuperation, so they deliberately kept quiet when speaking and walking, even a feather fell silently in the house.
After seven or eight days, Cheng Yujin's spirit gradually improved, and the talents in the yard came alive.
Cheng Yujin has been sick these days and has no appetite for anything. Du Ruolianqiao's two maids and the small kitchen changed the way to make Cheng Yujin happy, and the dishes changed every day, so she tried to make her eat more. Cheng Yujin came together today and felt refreshed, and even the body that had been sleepy all day was much more relaxed, as if she had gotten rid of some invisible burden. The maids noticed Cheng Yujin's change and were overjoyed. The small kitchen even sent a plate of food in an hour. They wished they could make up for the meal that Cheng Yujin left a few days ago.
Cheng Yujin hugged Madam Tang and leaned on the Luohan bed, scooping almond barley porridge to drink. I don't know how many meals this is her first meal today. Anyway, the appetite is not big, so Cheng Yujin just drank porridge and asked the maid to tell her something new.
She didn't ask about world affairs for seven or eight days in a row, and she didn't take the initiative to send people out, and people outside would not be able to contact her. At first, Cheng Yujin lacked energy, but later she was too lazy to care. She hadn't seen Cheng Yuanjing for several days, he didn't come, and Cheng Yujin didn't ask, she was devoted to recuperating and living.
It is said to be recuperating, but Cheng Yujin has been very comfortable these days. Everyone in the house surrounded her, and she only had to say what she wanted to eat, and the food would be delivered to the kitchen after a while. She didn't need to deal with anyone she didn't like, and she didn't need to cheer up to deal with the elders' visitors. You don't need to report to other people if you want to do anything.
This was unique in her past life. Although she has an independent courtyard in the Cheng family, her every move has basically no secrets. She is the adoptive eldest daughter, and she does not have her biological mother to block the nails for her, and she does not dare to ask Qingfu unscrupulously like her daughter and mother act like a spoiled child. The manpower arranged by Mrs. Cheng and the county master of Qingfu for her, Cheng Yujin I knew it was the eyeliner, but I could only accept it and place it in a critical position.
She can only trust the two personal maids by her side who have been with her for more than ten years. In fact, Du Ruo forsythia was not her person before, but after a long time, her heart turned towards her.
No matter what happened to Cheng Yujin, as long as she has a breath, she has to deal with brothers and sisters with different minds. She is going to thank the Lord Qingfu and Mrs. Cheng. If she is not careful, she will become Ruan's attack on the Lord Qingfu. The raft, in short, extremely bad. Cheng Yujin has never dared to get sick all these years.
But in the past few days in Cheng Yuanjing's private house, she finally felt what it meant to be surrounded by an iron bucket. These people are naturally Cheng Yuanjing's people, but Cheng Yuanjing is not there, and everything is up to Cheng Yujin. It is rare for Cheng Yujin to have such a comfortable life. This time, she was very devoted to her recuperation.
The porridge in her hand became warm under stirring and was just right for the mouth. Cheng Yujin scooped an almond and listened to the maid while drinking the porridge. The maid deliberately joked to make Cheng Yujin happy, but Cheng Yujin couldn't hold back, she covered her lips and smiled softly. The maid was overjoyed and was about to continue to work harder when suddenly there was the sound of crackling firecrackers outside.
The sound of firecrackers was not small, and everyone in the room was startled, even Cheng Yujin put down the bowl and looked out. A fair and clean man in charge of the hospital was very angry. His voice was sharp and he shouted: "The first month is almost over, who is shooting outside? I was shocked and disturbed the girl's recuperation. Who of you is responsible?"
Cheng Yujin didn't think deeply about this man dressed as an ordinary man, but at the moment he opened his mouth with a strong imperial accent. Cheng Yujin pretended not to know and asked, "What happened outside?"
"I don't know, maybe which one has a happy event." Du Ruo didn't know.
Cheng Yujin didn't think so: "It seems to me that more than one family is setting off firecrackers. Today is not an auspicious day, so many people will not have a wedding together."
Cheng Yujin called Forsythia over, and instructed, "Go outside and see what happened."
"Yes."
Forsythia took the order to leave, Cheng Yujin thought it was a back and forth matter, but it took a long time before Forsythia came back.
When she came back, the expression on her face... was very indescribable. Say surprise, not all, say trance, it seems to be mixed with great joy.
What the hell is going on
Cheng Yujin thought about it this way, and asked, "what's the matter, I think you can't even speak."
Forsythia was not pompous, she leaned over to Cheng Yujin, her brows twitched with uncontrollable excitement: "Girl, this time, it's not really strange that slaves are rare and strange, two major events happened outside!"
"Um?"
"His Royal Highness, who has been missing for fourteen years, has just been found! The Holy One is overjoyed, and the world will be amnesty, and he will be exempted from taxes this year."
Cheng Yujin was really surprised. It turned out to be this incident. No wonder the people outside set off firecrackers to celebrate. Cheng Yujin was lost for a while, and murmured inaudibly, "So fast?"
It is taboo to discuss these words carefully. The crown prince has been living in the people and disappeared for fourteen years. It is a great joy to be found once, and it should be celebrated in the whole world. She didn't say that the prince was found too early, but she thought that Cheng Yuanjing would wait for a while.
After all, Cheng Yuanjing sent someone to ask about her condition yesterday, but this person disappeared overnight, which was too abrupt.
Of course, he is no longer Cheng Yuanjing, and should be called by his real name, Li Chengjing.
Forsythia's face flushed with excitement, she deliberately stuck on an important point, but after holding it for a long time, she didn't wait for Cheng Yujin to continue to ask. Forsythia was very disappointed and said, "Miss, why don't you ask who His Royal Highness is?"
"Who could it be." Cheng Yujin also looked at Forsythia with a strange look, "The crown prince's name is Li Chengjing, he is the eldest prince in the palace, who else could it be?"
In fact, if there was another person in front of him, or if Forsythia knew more, he would find that Cheng Yujin didn't hesitate when he said the name of the prince, and seemed to have known it for a long time. The prince's real name should be avoided, and he has been missing for 14 years. Cheng Yujin, a virgin girl, could blurt out the prince's name without even thinking about it.
However, Forsythia didn't understand this, she was blocked for a while, and found that Cheng Yujin's words could not be refuted at all. Forsythia gave up and continued to sell off, but hurriedly shared the gossip he heard with everyone: "Girl, guess where the prince found it?"
Cheng Yujin suddenly had a hunch, and at the same time, Forsythia couldn't help but say the answer: "It's our ninth master!"
Cheng Yujin lost his mind, and even Du Ruo, who had always been in the ancient well, was shocked when he heard it, but he couldn't recover for a long time: "This... what's going on?"
"When we were at Xiangji Temple, His Majesty met Jingyong Hou and the second aunt in the garden by chance, and found that the second aunt's maiden family, the ninth master, looked familiar. The emperor went back to check and found that it was the lost prince. The emperor later I met Jiuye privately and asked about Jiuye’s childhood and his experiences over the years. When Jiuye was lost, he didn’t remember much. He only remembered getting lost in the rain, and when he woke up, he was taken in by a kind woman. When people saw that the prince was alone and without support, he was accepted as his adopted son and treated as his own son. After that, the woman moved into the capital with her husband, and the prince also followed, and was recorded under the name of the Cheng family in the Marquis of Yichun. Become the ninth son of the Cheng family."
Forsythia speaks like a bean, and other people can't get in at all, so it can be seen that he is really holding back. Noticing the change in Cheng Yujin's expression, Forsythia nodded vigorously, confirming that Cheng Yujin thought well: "Yes, that kind woman is the little Xue's family in the old Houye's outer room. Oh, it is not the outer room anymore, I heard that Hou The government has raised the little Xue family as a concubine and can be buried next to the old marquis."
Mrs. Cheng hated the little Xue family so much, but in just a moment, her attitude was turned upside down. Cheng Yujin was too lazy to pay attention to the bad debts of the previous generation. She found that the real trend now is completely different from the previous life she saw in her dream!
At least in her previous life, she was very sure that the ninth uncle Cheng Yuanjing died of an illness in a foreign place, and His Royal Highness was found by secret agents from the people.
Now, why is it different
Cheng Yujin was lazy at first, but now she is sitting upright, with a very serious attitude: "Forsythia, you will tell what you heard from beginning to end in detail."
Seeing Cheng Yujin's serious expression, Forsythia didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly said it all in order. Cheng Yujin listened carefully, and asked questions when she encountered ambiguity. By the end, she had roughly understood the bizarre disappearance of the prince.
The first half is exactly the same as Cheng Yuanjing's experience, except that the prince claims to be young and can't remember anything, and he has completely forgotten what happened that year. Whether he really doesn't remember doubts, even Cheng Yujin felt that he was just talking nonsense with his eyes open, and seeing his performance, he clearly remembered it clearly.
Afterwards, there was a fork at Xiangji Temple. The emperor met Huo Changyuan in the garden. Out of concern for the courtier, he asked a few more questions. By chance, he found that Mrs. Hou's family, Cheng Yumo's family, looked familiar. After the emperor went back, he thought and thought, and secretly sent someone to investigate, and found various traces that showed that this was the prince who had been lost for many years.
This chess piece, Huo Chang Yuan, has done his due diligence, and has been used thoroughly in his two lifetimes.
The crown prince, whom the court had been looking for for many years, actually lived in the capital all the time, and even without everyone knowing, he passed the jinshi examination and became an official with great achievements. This is even more bizarre and twisted than the folk opera excerpts, and it is very legendary.
Cheng Yujin repeatedly pondered the differences between the two lives, and found that all the trajectories were the same in Xiangji Temple, but she was not led to the garden by Zhai Yanlin in the previous life, and failed to witness this "random encounter" starring the emperor and the prince himself.
Things were different after that. After the Xiangji Temple in the previous life, Cheng Yuanjing received an order to take up office abroad and never came back. After another half a year, the undercover agent sent by the emperor found the prince who had been missing for many years based on clues.
In this life, Cheng Yuanjing also went out after Xiangji Temple, but the reason was to visit friends, not to make orders. It may be that the father and son have some differences, so they chose a vague and central reason. Logically, Cheng Yuanjing should have faded out of everyone's sight in the capital, but he appeared at the door of Cheng's house in a storm on the second day of the first day of the new year.
Then, he rescued her on the New Year's Day. Immediately afterwards, the emperor announced the world, saying that the prince was Cheng Yuanjing.
Cheng Yujin was stunned for a long time at the thought of this, and sighed. If you have to compare, it is obvious that the appearance of the prince in this generation is much more dazzling. The imperial examination is that thousands of troops cross a single-plank bridge. The prince can be a high school jinshi without anyone knowing it. Obviously, he is very popular among the people, especially scholars. And he has been an official for a few years, and his performance can be remarkable, and he has won a great reputation for him. This is much better than being found by spies in a previous life without making a sound.
Of course, he has won the favor of the world, and obviously he has to sacrifice other things, such as the senses of the Yang family. Now, I am afraid that the Queen Mother Yang in the palace will not be in a good mood.
But they are enemies themselves, and the position of the prince and the Yang family is doomed from the beginning that only one of them can survive. There is no difference between being generally hated by the enemy and being hated very much. Compared with the popular support Li Chengjing gained from this operation, the attitude of the Yang family is simply not worth mentioning.
Cheng Yujin sighed, no matter what, congratulations to him for getting what he wanted. Watching the birth of a legend before his eyes, and Yoshimitsu Kataha, who happened to glimpse in his previous life, really can't be compared.
Seeing Cheng Yujin, Forsythia was surprised at first, and then became serious. After a moment of contemplation, she seemed to be sighed and delighted, and was immersed in her own thoughts for a long time. Forsythia stood quietly, without disturbing her, she suddenly thought that when the eldest girl heard that the missing prince was the ninth uncle, she was not surprised at all, but an accident, as if this should not be the case.
Forsythia couldn't help remembering that when Old Master Cheng was still alive, Cheng Yujin secretly jumped out of Old Master Cheng's window to eavesdrop on the conversation between Old Master and Jiu Ye, didn't she, the eldest girl already knew something... Forsythia thought of this and stopped quickly , dare not think further.
After Cheng Yujin thought about it, she suddenly thought that Cheng Yumo was really lucky. In this life, the prince admitted to the Cheng family, and presumably Cheng Yumo could live a very comfortable life after that. She is really lucky.
But the benefits are mutual, and Cheng Yujin can also enjoy the dividends brought by the prince in the future. She is also a vested interest, so she will not be jealous of Cheng Yumo.
Forsythia saw that Cheng Yujin had detailed the experience of His Royal Highness the Prince, and then lowered his head to drink porridge. Forsythia deliberately concealed a super gossip just now. She held it back for a long time. Seeing that Cheng Yujin didn't want to ask any more, she could only blew herself up aggrieved: "Girl, the servant just said to bring back two news, you don't care about the second one at all. ?"
"Ah?" Cheng Yujin was very surprised. "With your temperament, you can hold it for so long? I thought it was all right."
Forsythia showed a complex expression of grievance but smugness, and there was a strong hint of "you will regret if you don't ask", Cheng Yujin had to cheer and ask, "What else?"
After Cheng Yujin finished speaking, she lowered her head to stir the almonds again. Seeing the forsythia gave her a headache. She thought with a toothache, who on earth boiled this bowl of almond porridge today, does the girl like it like this
But the excitement of Forsythia still overwhelmed everything, and she said excitedly: "Girl, follow the amnesty and tax exemption of the world, and there is also a will to grant marriage! The two imperial decrees will go out of the palace together, and the notices next to the major gates are everywhere. All, the Holy One has bestowed you as the Crown Princess, and choose a day to get married."
After Forsythia finished speaking, Du Ruo obviously took a deep breath. Forsythia was very satisfied with this effect, staring at Cheng Yujin, looking forward to Cheng Yujin's reaction.
However, Cheng Yujin's reaction was very flat, she said "oh" and put the cold porridge into her mouth. She thought to herself, Cheng Yuanjing, oh no, after Li Chengjing regains his identity, he will choose the crown princess. The Yang family doesn't seem to have a girl of the right age, but there are still many candidates for Gonghou, and there are also daughters in the family of Qingliu officials in the court. I don't know who Li Chengjing chose...
Cheng Yujin didn't realize that she actually hated this topic, and even with a lack of concentration, she didn't catch the key words in time. After a while, she suddenly realized something was wrong.
Wait, what did she just hear
Cheng Yujin coughed suddenly, the grain of rice stuck in her trachea, and the cough made her tears come out. Cheng Yujin didn't have time to pay attention to it at all. She grabbed the forsythia and asked with difficulty, "Who are you talking about? Who did the emperor give marriage to?"
Listening to the excitement and suddenly hearing about yourself, this is too exciting.
