Greetings, Ninth Uncle
Chapter 71: Marriage
The emperor suddenly appeared in the garden, and everyone was obviously panicked. Meeting Tian Yan is the most honorable and solemn thing. During the palace test, the palace will prepare the first-aid pills for the older students, lest they be too excited when they see the emperor, and they will faint directly.
Cheng Huo's slave-servants were in this mood of fainting. Not to mention these ordinary slave-servants, they are Cheng Yujin and Cheng Yumo, the two daughters of Qianjin. The biggest people they have seen in their lives are the princess and the princess of the county. They have not even seen the ladies in the palace. The old scholars who saw the temple test are also inseparable.
Although Huo Changyuan had met the emperor, they all persuaded them along with the civil and military officials. Even if they were questioned by the emperor at the palace banquet, they were separated by half a palace. It is unique to meet alone and privately like now. He was also very nervous. The only calm and calm on the court was probably Cheng Yuanjing.
The number of imperial rituals cannot be sloppy, no matter whether the emperor passes by them or not, or sees them, at the moment they hear the emperor coming, they should bow their heads and salute until all the imperial princes pass.
After the emperor entered the garden, it was natural for the **** to tell him what had happened in the garden. When the emperor heard someone in the pavilion, it seemed that there was a sudden interest, and he walked towards them.
As the emperor approached, Huo Changyuan's body was obviously tense, and Cheng Yumo even turned pale. Cheng Yujin, who was in the corner of Cheng Yujin's eyes, swept beside him, even more transparent in his heart.
The emperor's trip came simply for Cheng Yuanjing. The emperor was watched by thousands of people in every move in the palace, and there was no way to summon Cheng Yuanjing alone. To accompany the queen mother out of the palace, relax the rules, and no one can stop the emperor from visiting the garden.
The whereabouts of the emperor is not a secret. Everyone the emperor meets in the garden is known to everyone who changes hands. Cheng Yuanjing still needs to cover up his identity now. It is too striking to meet alone. When it reaches the ears of Empress Yang and Yang Shoufu, maybe they will doubt Cheng Yuanjing's identity. The emperor could not let Cheng Yuanjing take risks, so they all needed a cover-up.
Huo Changyuan is just right. His status is neither high nor low, nor is it so low as to be holy to be suspected, nor is it so high as to have an intersection with the Yang family. The title of Huo Changyuan was taken care of by the emperor. After the emperor met him, he stopped and asked for one or two, which was also reasonable.
Cheng Yujin completely understood that no wonder Cheng Yuanjing and Huo Changyuan walked together, no wonder that Huo Changyuan didn't say a few words, and followed Cheng Yuanjing to the garden in a daze. The whereabouts of the garden are open, and it is no surprise that anyone meets.
Cheng Yujin silently sympathized with the fool Huo Changyuan, who knew nothing about being used as a shield. Huo Changyuan certainly did not realize that his whereabouts were being manipulated. Even when and where he walked into the garden, he was unconsciously affected by Cheng Yuanjing. And Cheng Yujin and Cheng Yumo appeared here, saying it was a coincidence, not a coincidence.
Mrs. Cheng also wanted to let Zhai Yanlin meet Cheng Yujin through the garden as an open platform. Obviously Mrs. Cheng also knows that Cheng Yujin is very good as a facade. No matter men or women, they will only be more satisfied after seeing Cheng Yujin. Mrs. Cheng arranged the meeting with one hand. Who knew the time when Cheng Yujin arrived in the garden coincided with the time scheduled by Cheng Yuanjing.
Huo Changyuan and Cheng Yumo are husband and wife, and will naturally go together after meeting each other. As a result, Cheng Yujin also became a part of the face-to-face party at the scheduled time and location.
Cheng Yujin sighed silently, and her luck today was too mysterious. No matter Huo and Huo have in-laws, Cheng Yumo is Huo Changyuan ’s wife, Cheng Yujin is Mrs. Hou ’s sister, and Cheng Yuanjing is their two uncles. The four of them are unobtrusive in the garden. better. This is also the reason why Cheng Yuanjing did not stop Huo Changyuan from seeing Cheng Yumo.
The people bowed their heads to salute, realizing that the emperor was approaching and their bodies were lowered. When the emperor walked in front of Cheng Yuanjing, Cheng Yujin felt that the emperor's footsteps obviously stopped.
Cheng Yujin lowered his eyes and stared silently at the gap on the ground, not looking at the golden dragon embroidery of the open teeth and claws in front of him. The **** had already arranged the pavilion, and the Cheng family's objects were removed and replaced with a set of bright yellow.
The emperor returned to God for a moment and continued to move forward. After he sat down, he said very relaxedly: "I don't want to make a big noise on this trip, you don't have to be restrained, just get up."
Huo Changyuan stood up in fear. After he stood up, he still kept his head down, his eyes daring not to look casually. Cheng Yumo's face was even white, and he followed Huo Changyuan firmly, hiding half of his body behind Huo Changyuan.
The emperor looked very easy-going, like a gentle elder, and asked, "I remember you, is the Huo family's title now available?"
Huo Changyuan did not expect the emperor to be so kind. After such a long time, he still remembered the title of Huo family. Huo Changyuan was flattered and said, "Return to the Holy Lord, the title of Jingyong Hou Mansion has been implemented. Chen Xie Sheng's mercy!"
The emperor nodded with a smile. In fact, he already knew about this matter, but now it is just a word.
Sure enough, the emperor said, and his eyes fell naturally on others: "These people are your relatives?"
Cheng Yumo dressed as a newlywed, snuggled behind Huo Changyuan, it is not difficult to guess her identity. Huo Changyuan felt that the emperor was too easy-going today, and even asked about his family affairs. Huo Changyuan was frightened and frightened, and introduced carefully: "The Lord Xie Sheng hangs, and the servants are astonished. This is his wife, this is ..."
Huo Changyuan said that he would introduce the remaining people one by one. When his palm was closer to Cheng Yuanjing, Cheng Yuanjing stepped aside, avoiding Huo Changyuan's instructions, and said by himself: "Senior Cheng Yuanjing, see your majesty. May the world settle down. "
The emperor's eyes finally fell on Cheng Yuanjing's body. He heard these two words, his eyes were sore, and he almost burst into tears. Since the eighth year of Jianwu, the father and son had to live on their own side, and the emperor had lived for 14 years. He had never heard Yuan Jing speak in person. Every year during the New Year and the birthday, Cheng Yuanjing will write a congratulatory message in person and be sent to the palace by his eunuch. However, a letter is nowhere near as good as his son standing in front of him and speaking in person.
What's more, for safety, the emperor letters burned after reading, without exception. At other times of the year, the emperor missed his deceased wife and eldest son.
The emperor lives in the palace, and he is accompanied by a large number of internal officials at all times. It is impossible to see someone in private. And Cheng Yuanjing's identity on the face is the ninth son of Houfu in Yichun, and there is no reason to enter the palace. The emperor knew where his eldest son was and what he had done recently, but he had not seen it for many years.
The last time he saw his eldest son, he was still in the nineteen-year-old temple test. At that time, many new imperial examination subjects came in. Cheng Yuanjing followed the crowd and bowed his head to please him.
The father and son did not know each other. That was the first time the father and son met after Cheng Yuanjing was sent to Qingxuanguan at the age of six. But even in this case, the emperor had to endure his emotions, not showing the slightest. These people are the new imperial examinations, and the emperor should not have known them yet.
During the hall test, the emperor couldn't bear it and went to see the candidates answering the questions in person. He didn't dare to stop directly beside Cheng Yuanjing and could only pretend to be curious. He stood next to the candidate next to Cheng Yuanjing and secretly went to see Cheng Yuanjing by action.
For ten years, the child has grown up. His back is straight and he is tall and tall. He was sick every day when he was young, but when he grew up, he could not see at all. Cheng Yuanjing noticed that the emperor was looking at him, but he did not look back. The emperor could only notice that his words were beautiful.
Later, the emperor obeyed Cheng Yuanjing's meaning and put him in the field for another three years.
This time, in the past 14 years, the father and son are the closest. It can even be said that they met directly.
The emperor heard Cheng Yuanjing's last sentence "Holy body Kangtai, May the world be peaceful", this year's birthday remarks. He said it again at this moment, to personally bless the emperor's late birthday. The emperor was sad and gratified, but when he heard the eldest son saying he was Cheng Yuanjing, he felt very harsh.
Where is his surname Cheng, not even Cheng Yuanjing. He is the Crown Prince Li Chengjing of Daqi.
The emperor thought of glancing at another woman here, and speaking of his birthday, Cheng's family did something wrong this year. The congratulatory message of the emperor in previous years was burnt after reading, and nothing remained. However, this year, the Cheng family made new ideas and embroidered the fan screen with double-sided embroidered gifts. In this way, the prince is bypassed, and the emperor can express his liking in a fair and honest manner, and put things in front of the case to observe it day by day, without having to be forced to destroy it.
Although the Cheng family has done nothing for many years, they are very obedient and do whatever they want in the palace. At this time, the Cheng family's lack of progress and lack of presence became advantages, which could cover up Cheng Yuanjing well and provide sufficient time for Cheng Yuanjing to grow up.
This screen this year is another thing that satisfied the emperor.
Cheng Yujin stood below and heard the emperor casually asked two things about the Huo family, and then naturally led the topic to Cheng Yuanjing. Cheng Yujin couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he heard Cheng Yuanjing saying hello to the emperor.
Every family has hard-to-read classics, and the royal family is not immune. She was sighing, feeling vaguely that the emperor's eyes had swept over her, and Cheng Yujin immediately reacted and performed the Wanfu ceremony: "The eldest daughter of Yichun Hou Mansion, the daughter of Qingfu County Lord, please your lord.
The eldest daughter of Yichun Hou Mansion, the emperor slowly got a little impression. It seems that the man who embroidered the screen is the eldest granddaughter of the Cheng family. The emperor once again rang Yujin, and was amazed in his heart. The Cheng family did not live up, and did not expect the girls in their family to be well-educated. How many women the emperor has seen to ask for peace can be described as the expert of the family. Cheng Yujin's actions are standard, and the aunt who is in the palace to correct the concubine's manners is standard.
Standards are not rigid and are rare. There are also double-sided embroidery on the screen, although Cheng Yuanjing wrote it, but it is not easy to embroider Shen Yun. It is not easy for the emperor's original needle to have 20 years of embroidery. Unexpectedly, he was so young.
The emperor looked at Cheng Yujin twice and said, "Let's get up."
Cheng Yuanjing and Cheng Yujin stood up together. The emperor looked at the picture in front of him, and inexplicably felt very emotional. He said: "I felt friendly last time when I saw Huo Changyuan.
Huo Changyuan lowered his head and said, "I thank you Xie Sheng. Crown Prince Hongfu Qitian, the Ji people have their own physiognomy, presumably they will find it soon.
Huo Changyuan was originally willing to speak flatteringly at random. As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the pavilion was slightly subtle. Cheng Yujin bowed his head, thinking that this was true. His Royal Highness, I am afraid that he would find it soon.
Today, the emperor met the Cheng family "accidentally", which was a very important step for finding the prince. The emperor could not tell the world that he knew the whereabouts of the prince long ago. The prince was suddenly recognized, and there must be an opportunity to make sense.
However, the emperor seemed to be more and more interested, and asked Huo Changyuan with great interest: "When have you been married, how long has it been?"
Huo Changyuan answered truthfully: "Your Majesty, the minister was married in September this year, and now it has been three months."
The emperor nodded and thought about it: "It's been three months. I remember your age is about the same as that of the prince, only one year older than him. Your marriage age is already too late. If the prince is in the private sector, I don't know now. Are you married? "
Put in the ears of people who don't know the truth, the emperor's words can be described as a fist-loving heart. Even if the son has disappeared, he still cares about his son's life, whether he has a wife or child. It is a pity that Cheng Yujin unfortunately knew so much, and now when I hear it again, I feel funny and helpless.
Cheng Yujin secretly went to see Cheng Yuanjing. Sure enough, Cheng Yuanjing's face was not very good. Sure enough, all parents in the world are the same, even if people are not in front of them, they can turn around to urge marriage.
