Greetings, Ninth Uncle

Chapter 88: Concubine Zheng

Views:

Cheng Yujin kept coughing, and the two maids were startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to bring water to Cheng Yujin.

Cheng Yujin really didn't expect that while listening to the excitement, she unexpectedly heard her name.

When she finally calmed down, she didn't care about anything else. The first sentence was to ask: "What did you just say, who did the emperor give marriage to?"

Forsythia and Du Ruo looked at each other and said in a low voice, "Give the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Yichun, Cheng Shi Yujin, as the crown prince, and choose a date to marry the prince. The royal list has been posted, and now the whole city is surrounded by people. Look."

Du Ruo is more stable than Forsythia, although she was shocked at first, but after thinking about it, she was not surprised. Jiuye has always tolerated and made exceptions to the girl, and the girl also sticks to Jiuye. Apart from Jiuye, Du Ruo has never seen the girl care so much about any man, or even anyone.

If Jiuye is not from Cheng's family, then it is conceivable to marry the girl, which is logical.

But Cheng Yujin couldn't calm down so easily. She was stunned for a long time, her mind was full of chaos.

Although Forsythia loves to play, but it is not an ignorant temperament. Besides, I am afraid that no one in the world will make jokes about this kind of thing.

This is how I don't want to live anymore.

She didn't know whether she should be shocked that Cheng Yuanjing chose a crown princess whose family had no help, or whether she should be shocked that she became a crown princess.

Neither Cheng Yujin nor the Cheng family would even think about it.

Cheng Yujin was very surprised when he first learned that Cheng Yuanjing was the prince, but he never moved Cheng Yuanjing's idea. She approached deliberately and was careful to please her, all for the sake of getting the prince's care in the future, but she never thought of taking this opportunity to become the prince's concubine.

She never considers things that are unfavorable to herself, and she feels that this is the case with everyone in the world. What's more, marriage is a major event in life, and the marriage of the prince is even more related to the general trend of the country and the stability of the court. No one will make jokes about this kind of thing.

Cheng Yuanjing is not the kind of person who will delay business affairs for the sake of children's love. Cheng Yujin believes in the impossible, and never thinks about the relationship between men and women. Later, she fell into the water and was rescued by Cheng Yuanjing, only to realize that she was too careless.

She doesn't want to, doesn't mean others don't want to.

During the days when she was sick, she was emotionally fragile. She said a lot of angry words to Cheng Yuanjing when she was emotional, and even cried in front of him. Cheng Yujin looked back on what she looked like at the time, and didn't want to admit it. However, she vaguely remembered that Cheng Yuanjing seemed to have said something, and he denied taking her as a concubine.

After Cheng Yujin slept for a while, she couldn't remember many words, and she didn't see Cheng Yuanjing for several days, and Cheng Yujin gradually forgot about it. However, is he actually preparing for the restoration of his identity and marriage these days

Today, the imperial decree is read out, and the world is announced. You have no jokes, and there is no chance for this export to turn around. The imperial decree cannot be drawn up in a short time, and finding such a big thing as the prince is obviously not something that the emperor can say for sure.

It must have been quiet outside these few days. Before they knew it, Li Chengjing, the Yang family, the cabinet and even the emperor had already had several rounds of recruiting.

No wonder I haven't seen him these days, it turns out that he is busy with these things.

Cheng Yujin was stunned for a long time, although the impact was great, but everything has become a given reality, Cheng Yujin can only try to accept it. Besides, Cheng Yujin didn't think it was a bad thing.

She just couldn't believe that a pie really fell from the sky, and it happened to fall on her head.

For the first time, she looked at the role of the princess. Although Li Chengjing has been in the capital all these years, he has only really come back these days. The movement of his appearance is not small. His experience is much more bizarre than the civet cat changing the prince. He dare not write the drama like this. It can be imagined that for a long time, the prince will be the focus of civil and military officials, and even the people of the world. .

The crown princess was pushed to the front of the stage together at this time. Compared with other popular candidates for the crown princess who had paved the way for the family since childhood, Cheng Yujin, the prospective crown princess, was born out of thin air. Before Li Chengjing came back, the second prince was the appointed prince, and many people secretly guessed that the second prince's concubine would end up with whom.

Some people are even thinking that the Yang family has already produced an empress dowager and a queen, and I wonder if there will be a third harem lord.

There are no girls of the right age in the Yang family, but the Yang family's daughter, Yang Yan, the elder sister of Empress Yang, has a daughter named Dou Xiyin, who is exactly the same age as the second prince. But some people think that the Yang family has two queens in a row, and the emperor will not tolerate it without limit no matter how good-tempered it is. The emperor will never let the Yang family hold the position of the second prince's concubine. It is the other women who have a higher chance of winning.

Beijing has never been short of nobles and ambitious families. Many ministers have raised momentum for their daughters since childhood, wanting to do the opposite and replace the Yang family as the next king.

However, no matter what the adventurers think, the Yang family of course prefers their niece to outsiders. Moreover, Dou Xiyin and the second prince are cousins, and they are often taken to live in the palace by Empress Yang and Empress Dowager Yang.

Dou Xiyin is very proud of this, and when he is a guest outside, he will always show it off. The ladies who secretly competed with Dou Xiyin were angry, but they had nothing to do.

Well now, whether it is Dou Xiyin or the ladies who want to speculate, the abacus has failed. Because the prince who had been missing for many years and died by default by them came back, the princess also fell on Cheng Yujin's head. Cheng Yujin can think of how much precious porcelain will be wasted in the capital after the announcement of her and Li Chengjing's marriage.

Cheng Yujin certainly knew Dou Xiyin, the capital is so big, who can't know about the niece of the Yang family. It's just that Cheng Yujin and Dou Xiyin don't know each other very well. Every time Dou Xiyin appears on the stage, he is surrounded by stars and stars, and Dou Xiyin also has a small circle around him. The circle is full of so-called famous ladies, all of whom have a great sense of superiority.

Cheng Yujin never did white jobs. She didn't think she and Dou Xiyin would have anything to do with each other before, and naturally she didn't bother to waste her energy to join their circle. But now that she has become a crown princess, she also happened to block Dou Xiyin's way. In the future, I am afraid that there will be no less friction between her and Dou Xiyin's circle.

However, Dou Xiyin put it bluntly just a prop. Dou Xiyin, a young lady of an ordinary third-rank military attaché, dared to be so arrogant, not because of the big tree of the Yang family behind her. In the final analysis, Dou Xiyin is just an addition, Cheng Yujin's real opponent is Empress Dowager Yang, Empress Yang.

A stepmother who is suspected of killing her mother to seize the throne, and a stepmother who has the grace to support the emperor's succession, Cheng Yujin sighed silently. It seems that she still has a long way to go after marriage.

But one yard is one yard, if Cheng Yujin is allowed to exchange the position of crown princess for an easy married life, Cheng Yujin will not do it. Every family has difficult scriptures to read, and the mother-in-law and sister-in-law of a small family may not be easy to serve. Since they have to step by step and operate carefully, change to a more difficult script and fight for power and interests that cannot be measured at all. Cheng Yujin feels that this transaction Great value.

Moreover, Li Chengjing returned directly as Cheng Yuanjing. He did not separate from Cheng Yuanjing. Whether the Cheng family wanted to or not, they were already firmly tied to the prince's ship. In the future, if the prince wins, it's okay to say, if the prince loses, what awaits the Cheng family will be the ruin of the entire family. Instead of pinning your hopes on others, it is better to do it yourself.

Cheng Yujin was suddenly full of fighting spirit, and the malaise on her body was swept away. She made plans for herself when she was very young, including emerging at the age of twelve, becoming a model girl at the age of fourteen, but relying on her fame to marry a rich and powerful husband, she achieved a leap in the second half of her life. After that, she will still be a model daughter-in-law, a model wife, and every step and stage will be standardized as if it were a fabricated illusion.

Up until Huo Chang Yuan's divorce, Cheng Yujin's progress was very consistent with her life plan. Although there were some small mistakes in the middle, she once wanted to switch to a potential stock to fight back at the bottom. Who would have thought that she suddenly became a crown princess, and the plan was simply exceeded.

Cheng Yujin does not reject this identity at all, she can't wait to start the daily life of the crown princess now. Forsythia saw the girl stunned for a while, and suddenly she was as energetic as Zhongxie, as if she wanted to jump up immediately. Forsythia was startled and asked, "Girl, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine, I'm fine." Cheng Yujin said and was about to stand up, "I haven't walked in this yard yet, and I don't even know the whole picture of it."

Although Cheng Yujin lived in this courtyard for more than ten days, she seldom went out, let alone wandered in the courtyard. Cheng Yujin originally thought that this was the prince's private property and had nothing to do with her. She didn't want to walk around outside and accidentally bump into something she shouldn't see.

But now Cheng Yujin's mentality is different. This is the prince's private residence, and it will be part of her property in the future. Cheng Yujin should at least know the general condition of the courtyard.

Forsythia and Du Ruo were taken aback when they saw Cheng Yujin going out: "Miss, why do you suddenly think of going for a walk? It's windy outside, you're still ill, be careful that the wind will make your condition worse."

"No, my illness is completely cured." Although Cheng Yujin's face was still a little pale, her eyes were bright, and the sullenness between her brows disappeared. She looked completely different from the patient a few days ago. Forsythia and Du Ruo didn't know what was going on, but Cheng Yujin was going to go out, and they couldn't resist, so they could only tie a cape to Cheng Yujin, wear a warm jacket, and smoke a hand stove.

No one can stop Cheng Yujin's passion for property, not even if he is sick, let alone the cold wind. Everyone carefully followed Cheng Yujin to let her recuperate. They heard that Cheng Yujin was going out for a walk, and they all surrounded Cheng Yujin layer by layer. In the end, it was the father-in-laws in the palace who came up with an idea and tugged at the wind. The brocade tent is artificially blocking the wind for Cheng Yujin.

Cheng Yujin was really speechless when she saw it when she went out.

The people who came out of the palace, as expected, are no better than others when it comes to pleasing the master.

Cheng Yujin walked along the veranda and walked through the two courtyards at the back, silently evaluating the value of them. Forsythia sees that the girls are not walking, but more like visiting the house. Although they are puzzled, they slowly relax.

Scared her to death, she thought that the girl was stimulated and wanted to blow the cold wind to relax her mind in the big winter. Today's wind is so strong, it's okay to blow it for a while.

The eunuchs who pretended to be servants saw that the Crown Princess did not look like she was going to hurt the spring and autumn in the garden, so they had to accept the tent angrily. Cheng Yujin was in high spirits and looked at the back two courtyards in one breath, without showing any signs of exhaustion. She glanced at the front yard, hesitant.

The little eunuch who looked professionally saw it, and immediately stepped forward and asked, "Miss, why did you stop?"

Now Cheng Yujin has not been registered, is still unmarried, and cannot be called a prince concubine, but these eunuchs are not stupid, the imperial decree has already been issued, this master is the empress of the East Palace, and they will not please the prince concubine in advance. , what are you waiting for

Cheng Yujin asked, "I haven't seen the front yard. Is it convenient for me to go?"

"Why is it inconvenient?" The little eunuch said with a flattering smile on his face, "The whole yard is owned by the girl. The girl can go wherever she wants to go, how can it not be done?"

Cheng Yujin raised her eyebrows, listening to this, was this yard passed to her name? Cheng Yujin understood in a flash that she and Li Chengjing were nominally uncles and nephews before, and it was fine for her to stay in her uncle's yard to recuperate, but now she obviously can't.

Men and women are strictly guarded, even unmarried couples should avoid suspicion, and one of them is a prince and the other is a prospective prince, so their reputation cannot be damaged. So Li Chengjing simply gave her this three-entry courtyard, Cheng Yujin lived in her own house, and outsiders couldn't say anything.

Cheng Yujin is very envious of this kind of handwriting that is sent to the house three times, but at the same time she is also sure that the prince really has many private houses.

Although Cheng Yujin smiled, her eyes narrowed slightly.

Since the eunuch said so, Cheng Yujin did not hesitate and walked towards the front yard. There is a difference between the front and the back of the house, and the woman can only stop at the second door, but now the whole courtyard is hers, and Cheng Yujin doesn't need to worry about the inside and outside. Out of suspicion, she didn't go into the study or the main room to look inside, but just walked around on the veranda, silently estimating the size of the entire house.

And how much you can sell it for in the future.

It is close to the most prosperous main street and has a first-class location. The supply of houses has always been in short supply. Moreover, this courtyard has three entrances in the front and back, and the kitchen, inner courtyard, and back cover are all available, so you don’t have to worry about asking prices. Cheng Yujin was thinking silently in her heart, but suddenly her ears moved and she heard a voice behind her.

At the same time, the greetings from the servants also sounded: "Greetings to His Royal Highness. His Highness Chitose."

Cheng Yujin turned back half a beat, just in time to meet the sight of the person who came.
