Greetings, Ninth Uncle
Chapter 114: Affection
There was another snow in the middle of the night yesterday. When I woke up in the morning, the world was white.
Today is the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. In the early morning, the palace was filled with a joyful atmosphere. There is no reason for him, because it is a holiday.
From today, the court will stop writing. From the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month onwards, the government offices of the major government offices were no longer on duty. They did not resume their duties until 20 years later.
Since Shangyuan also has holidays, Yuan Day and Lantern Festival merge, and the annual leave lasts from the 24th of the twelfth lunar month to the 20th of the first lunar month. The early dynasty of the emperor and the prince, who did not change the cold and heat, and could not stop, finally had a good rest during the New Year.
Today is the last day of the year, and fortunately, the six big figures are also thinking about taking a break. There is nothing wrong with the early dynasty, and it soon disperses. After Li Chengjing went to the Wenhua Hall for a walk, there were successive courtiers coming to celebrate him, and not long after, he returned to Ciqing Palace.
Cheng Yujin saw Li Chengjing coming back and smiled and said to Li Chengjing: "Congratulations to His Royal Highness, this year's government affairs are all going well, everything is going well, and the curtain ended."
Li Chengjing was able to rest for nearly a month, and he also breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "It is indeed a great joy to marry a prince this year. It can be seen that what you said to me at the beginning of the year is very reasonable, because it is your first congratulations, this The year has been smooth and smooth. It seems that every year in the future, I will have to hear from you the first one saying "Happy New Year."
Cheng Yujin did not expect such a long time, Li Chengjing actually remembered. Last year, when Li Chengjing left the Cheng family to visit friends, Cheng Yujin thought he would not come back, but he saw him hurried back on the second day of the first lunar month. At that time, Cheng Yujin was still worried about getting married. She thought Li Chengjing was away and went to catch young talents with confidence. As a result, she was hit by Li Chengjing while drinking tea with Lin Qingyuan.
At that time, in order to get away, Cheng Yujin deliberately pleased that she had waited for Li Chengjing for a long time on New Year's Eve, and wanted to be the first to say that Li Chengjing had a happy new year, but no one was seen. She just wandered casually, she couldn't remember it herself, but Li Chengjing remembered it now.
Cheng Yujin was a little guilty, but she could n’t let Li Chengjing see it, and she nodded: "Yes. It can be seen that there is a fixed number in Mingming. My Highness and I said that we want to celebrate you first for the first time every year. Spend time with your Highness every year. "
Li Chengjing smiled and nodded Cheng Yujin's eyebrows: "This is not doomed to heaven. This is man-made."
Cheng Yujin wanted to carry a shelf, but finally couldn't help but laugh. She sighed: "Yes, God arranged, how can you compare His Highness's wrist. His Highness is on holiday today, first take off the court clothes and change to a light clothes."
Li Chengjing also had this intention. He walked toward the inner hall, and since Cheng Yujin came, this personal matter was transferred from the **** to Cheng Yujin. She personally picked up Li Chengjing with a light blue brocade gold brocade, and the crown was too lazy to re-bundle, and she was still the crown prince.
Cheng Yujin tipped his toes to tidy up his collar. Only the two of them in the warm incense, Li Chengjing could feel her breath on her neck. Li Chengjing lowered his head slightly, pressed her hair sideways, and whispered: "You have worked hard these days, and thanks to your appearance to communicate with the ladies, the East Palace has today's situation, and you make a great contribution."
During this period of time approaching, Cheng Yujin took the opportunity to walk around with many honorable ladies. Although the progress was slow, it was really advancing. Madam diplomacy is also a profound knowledge. With the cushions of the two ladies in the middle, Li Chengjing and other senior officials finally got on the line and tentatively and carefully tested each other.
"Don't dare to do it." Cheng Yujin pressed the collar for him and took the jade belt out of the closet. He said, "His Royal Highness is popular, and I dare not take credit."
Li Chengjing put on his regular clothes. This body is elegant in color, and there is a golden light flowing between the movements, and there is expensive in the Qing Dynasty. It echoes with him with a golden crown. The light blue and the light gold complement each other, which makes his sword eyebrows and starry eyes, handsome and noble, and more beautiful and handsome.
Cheng Yujin took the belt and saw that Li Chengjing was still standing upright, and must remind: "Your Highness, please raise your hand."
Li Chengjing looked down at her and slowly raised his hands, but the distance was still not very spacious. Cheng Yujin had no choice but to get closer and buckle his jade belt for him.
From the side, it looks like Cheng Yujin hugged Li Chengjing's waist. Li Chengjing naturally put his hand down, surrounded Cheng Yujin, and said, "It has nothing to do with me, it is all thanks to you. I have worked hard for you during this time, and I don't have to go up to the next month. I can accompany you well."
Li Chengjing's hand was placed behind Cheng Yujin's waist, and Cheng Yujin's arm was looped, and it was not convenient to buckle it in secret. She moved and reminded him indistinctly: "Place your hands first, you are preventing me from buttoning."
Li Chengjing was dismissed miserably, he looked at her with his lips, and slowly released his hand.
Finally he took care of him properly. Cheng Yujin was content and disregarded the episode just now: "His Royal Highness has worked hard for a year, and now he can finally take a rest or two, which is really great."
Li Chengjing said he didn't feel it from Cheng Yujin. He sighed and embraced his dignified and beautiful prince, who was completely unfavorable, and walked to the East Hall, saying: "It is estimated that I will not rest for a month at the end, but at least I can accompany you for the Chinese New Year. Officially stop today, Emperor I'm also happy, and it's also a small year, and there is a family feast there at night.
Cheng Yujin nodded and had a feast in her childhood. She learned about it early in the morning. Especially this year Li Chengjing is back. The emperor was very happy for the first time in such a reunion year. He had already talked to Queen Yang about the big banquet.
Because it is a family feast, the empress, the queen mother, the palace concubine, the prince, and the princess will all attend. This is probably a rare event in the harem. From half a month ago, the concubines of the harem were ready to wear today.
However, how Princess Gong fights for the odds is nothing to do with Cheng Yujin. She is a crown prince, the only genuine female hostess of the prince's generation, compared with the concubines, that is what Queen Yang should worry about. Li Chengjing also made this idea, so it was half past the afternoon. The two of them were still not slow and had no plans to change clothes.
The two of them even cooked a tea for Xue, and it was almost time before they walked to the Kunning Palace.
Today's family banquet is set on the site of Queen Yang, the master of the harem. When Cheng Yujin and Li Chengjing arrived, there were already many people in Kunning Palace.
Hearing that Cheng Yujin and Li Chengjing came in, in addition to Queen Yang, other concubines and princesses stood up and bowed their heads in courtesy: "See Prince, see Princess Prince."
Cheng Yujin and Li Chengjing also saluted the first Queen Yang: "See Queen. The Queen's mother is well."
Queen Yang nodded lightly, facing the two of them, she could not make a warm expression: "The crown prince and the crown prince are here, sit down."
The two got up, and even the actions of standing up were synchronized. After the two of them stood, Li Chengjing raised his hand slightly to the people behind him: "You don't have to be rude, please get up."
The full house of gold powder stood up and sat down. In such collective appearances, seating is particularly important. Every time a person comes in, a silent battle starts on the seat. It is clear at a glance who has a high status and who has gained momentum recently.
Fortunately, these things will not affect Li Chengjing and Cheng Yujin at all, only others give them a seat, and they don't have the reason to give others courtesy. There are only three people who can bother them to stand up.
The more the finale appeared later, after Cheng Yujin and Li Chengjing arrived, the banquet was about to begin. They did not wait long, the emperor helped Queen Yang to the scene, everyone stood up to salute the emperor and the empress, and after the empress sat down, the queen announced: "Have a banquet and serve."
Immediately, two teams of eunuchs rushed in and walked in small steps to add food to the table masters. The emperor sat in the center, looking around, and saw that the concubine's concubines were fat and thin, each with their own strengths, and his two sons and three daughters were all under the knees. Especially rare is that Li Chengjing finally returned this year.
The emperor looked at it with emotion, and said: "I have been looking forward for 14 years, and now the family is finally reunited. This is great joy, and we should have a drink together."
The emperor made a speech, and of course all the people sitting in the temple smiled and picked up the wine glasses. The emperor obviously said this to the prince. After everyone had taken a tour, the emperor was not full of excitement. He smiled and aimed the cup at Li Chengjing and Cheng Yujin.
"This is also the first time in these years that the prince has been in the palace for the first time? Unexpectedly, the last time you were in the palace, it was less than the height of the table. Now, he has already married a family."
Li Chengjing stood up and toasted: "It's the fault of the son-in-law. He hasn't been ashamed of his filial piety by his majesty in recent years."
The emperor said with emotion, his big hand waved, and said, "Since I have returned, I still say what I have done in the past. This is a happy event, and I should be happy."
Li Chengjing should have taken the initiative to respect the emperor's three glasses of wine. Cheng Yujin also stood up when he saw this, and toasted the emperor with Li Chengjing.
The emperor looked at the eldest son of Yuli, Qingjunlang, who looked at the dignified and graceful daughter-in-law under the lights, and became more and more happy. The son and daughter-in-law toast, does the emperor have reason to resign? As soon as the emperor was happy, he drank all the wine.
The others in the temple saw different thoughts.
Li Chengjing changed to a light blue dress. The precious fabrics are different. Standing in the light, people are like beautiful jade, and the light is golden. And Cheng Yujin beside him was wearing a light pink stand collar jacket, the fabric was exactly the same as Li Chengjing's body. The two people were light blue and light pink, standing together.
It's simply too much, as long as they are husband and wife, they can wear suits.
Queen Yang's pierced eyes hurt, and the second prince Li Chengjun silently opened his eyes, and once again found that the matter of marrying Zheng Fei should be on the agenda. The concubines sitting at the start were envious and jealous. When they entered the palace, they looked like the sea. Although they were concubines, they were plain concubines. They would never have the opportunity to wear the same clothes as their husbands in their lives.
The only emperor in the field was looking at these couples with joy.
Cheng Yujin still did not know that she accidentally showed a lot of love in public. In fact, she was not intentional, but Li Chengjing chose all of her clothes. When Cheng Yujin made clothes for herself, by the way, she set up a set for Li Chengjing, so the clothes on the two, no matter how they were worn, were like matching . In particular, the two of them are good-looking, well-behaved, and have a tacit understanding of their actions. Just standing together and toasting makes everyone feel deliberately showing affection.
After toasting, Cheng Yujin sat down, Li Chengjing handed her a cup of tea, and said something softly in her ear. Cheng Yujin nodded after hearing it. The interaction between the two fell into the eyes of others, and it was another bitterness. The concubine couldn't help but ask: "The relationship between the crown prince and the crown prince is really good. In the presence of so many people, don't you know what the prince is talking to the crown prince?"
Cheng Yujin looked up in amazement, and hadn't reflected how the topic turned to himself. Li Chengjing had already answered: "The crown prince is invincible, and she is afraid of her drunk, so she reminds her to drink tea and sober up."
The concubine snorted, covering her lips with a veil and laughing, "The young couple is different. The teeth of this palace are soured. After a while, the hard dishes are served. I'm afraid they won't be able to bite."
Cheng Yujin can only keep smiling and allow everyone to tease. Sitting on the side of the concubine, the concubine said, "The prince and the concubine are harmonious, and the feelings are smooth. This is a good thing for me. The concubine is looking forward to being sour and sour."
Concubine and Cheng Yujin have the relationship of Chang Guo Government, and have always spoken for Dong Gong. Cheng Yujin accepted the kindness of the concubine and smiled: "Don't concubine and concubine, please don't make fun of me anymore. I will say no more to the two concubines. I respect two concubines for this glass of wine."
The crown prince toasted, the concubine could not help but pick it up. After receiving the toast from others, the chaise was naturally not good to joke. The concubine finally stopped here. Unexpectedly, the first Queen Mother Yang listened for a while, and said slowly: "Sister Fei's words are reasonable. Your little husband and wife have a good relationship. This is indeed a good thing for the country. But the princess is a concubine The most important duty is to open up the leaves for the royal family. It has been half a year since the crown prince entered the palace. Is there any news now? "
With the words of Queen Mother Yang, the atmosphere in the hall that had been fairly harmonious quickly cooled down. The smile on Cheng Yujin's face was put away, and Queen Mother Yang mentioned it in front of so many people, apparently deliberately giving her ugliness. In fact, marriage is only half a year, and it is normal to not get pregnant. No matter how anxious, your wife's family will not urge her daughter-in-law like this. However, Li Chengjing stood at the cusp of the storm and was stared at by countless people with every move. Behind him was a stepmother Yang, a queen grandmother, who was particularly easy to be taken out to make a fuss.
Cheng Yujin put down the glass and was about to say something. His hand was suddenly covered by a warm palm. Li Chengjing's fingers are slender and his joints are well-proportioned, which is very beautiful. At this moment, his hand is pressed against Cheng Yujin's hand, and his strength is very light, but inexplicably makes people feel firm.
Li Chengjing looked at the Empress Yang, and he said slowly, "There are three filial pieties, and no future is great. The son-in-law has passed the weak crown but has not yet had heirs. It is really filial to his majesty and the queen mother. Commit the crime, grandchildren have nothing to say. "
