Traveling through the heavens from the prequel of the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 696: I can’t learn these things now. Why did I go there earlier? It’s too late.

Yang Jiao's fingertips flickered with light, a flash of white light merged into Emperor Wen's eyebrows, and several stacks of talismans fell on his desk:

"Father, I have taught you all the talisman techniques. These talismans are enough to return to the capital."

"Also, the method of making talisman paper has been taught, so I won't bother you."

After saying that, he saluted Empress Xuan and Concubine Yue, turned around and left.

After he walked out of the tent, Emperor Wen was stunned. He pointed to the place where Yang Jiao was standing just now and asked Concubine Yue:

"What about him?"

Concubine Yue looked at the soul-lighting talisman in her hand and replied:
"After dealing with your father, I will leave early."

Emperor Wen laughed and scolded:

"Short."

Afterwards, he first told Cao Cheng to let the people outside disperse, and then he happily drew the talisman in front of Queen Xuan and Concubine Yue.

ten days later.

Imperial City, Yongle Palace.

Emperor Wen, who practiced diligently and diligently, finally succeeded in drawing the first talisman in his life. However, he didn't show off to Concubine Yue for long, and suddenly he seemed to remember something.

"Ah Heng, did I say a few days ago that I wanted to meet the fourth lady of the Cheng family?"

A smile appeared on Concubine Yue's face:
"If Your Majesty hadn't said it, I would have almost forgotten it."

Emperor Wen shook his head:

"I'm afraid this Zhuzi has already anticipated my plan, so he used the talisman method to attract my attention."

He pondered for a while and said:

"I haven't really found the fourth wife of the Cheng family, and Ziyan has given me such a big surprise. What if?"

Concubine Yue seemed to have guessed something and asked directly:

"Your Majesty, do you want to invite the fourth lady of the Cheng family to the palace?"

Emperor Wen had already written a manuscript, saying:

"I heard that the fourth lady of the Cheng family has no one to teach her since she was a child, so she doesn't know etiquette. Why don't we let her go to Changqiu Palace to listen to her in the future."

Concubine Yue smiled and asked:

"Why doesn't Your Majesty let the fourth lady of the Cheng family come to Yongle Palace?"

Emperor Wen smiled lightly:

"You and Ziyan generally like to be quiet. I have specifically inquired about it. The fourth wife of the Cheng family has a very tough temper. Even her mother, who is in the army, feels helpless. Therefore, we should prescribe the right medicine to overcome the toughness with gentleness."

"Therefore, the Queen is the most suitable candidate."

Concubine Yue naturally sent someone to inquire about her son's bride, and she knew very well that the fourth lady of the Cheng family was not a quiet, steady, dignified and polite little girl.

She also knew her own temperament and was not good at dealing with a little girl with such a temperament. Of course, she also knew that her husband understood her own temperament and allowed the fourth lady of the Cheng family to go to the Changqiu Palace for training.

So, he spoke slowly:
"There happens to be another family dinner tomorrow, so I am not in a hurry to meet the fourth wife of the Cheng family. Anyway, His Majesty wants her to come to the palace to listen to her. There will be many opportunities to meet her in the future."

The next day.

The Cheng Mansion drove out a carriage and rushed towards the imperial city.

On the carriage, Cheng Shaoshang was bored and playing with the jade pendant on his waist. He suddenly glanced at his parents and saw his parents sitting upright, so he quietly took out the pancakes wrapped in handkerchiefs from his sleeves.

The carriage was so big that Cheng Shi and his wife naturally noticed her little moves. When they saw her breaking open the pancake and eating it in small bites, they couldn't help but look at each other.

"You can still eat it."

Cheng Shaoshang listened to his mother's question and asked:
"I entered the palace in a hurry early in the morning and didn't even have time to eat breakfast. Why can't I eat it?"

Facing the unprovoked summons from the palace, Xiao Yuanyi felt nervous and uneasy. She was not in the mood to preach, so she asked directly:

"Let me ask you, during the period when you returned to the capital from Tu Gaoshan, did you get into any trouble again?" Cheng Shaoshang immediately replied:
"I'm very peaceful these days. I've been reading and practicing calligraphy at home."

Xiao Yuanyi sighed:
"Okay, let me teach you some life-saving rules first. After you enter the palace and meet those nobles, you must kneel down and worship, bless the queen for eternal life, and wish the queen a safe life. You must call your father's official title first and present your name. is behind."

Seeing that Cheng Shaoshang was looking around, she said:

"Do you understand all this?"

Although Cheng Shaoshang nodded to show that he understood, he said in his heart:

"I can't learn these things now. Why did I do it earlier? It's too late."

Immediately, she lifted the car curtain and looked outside.

"What are you doing with your prying eyes? It's okay if you don't behave at home. You can't do this again when you enter the palace. Otherwise, it will harm the Cheng family and maybe even cost you your life." Xiao Yuanyi looked at Cheng Shaoshang's tone-deaf attitude. , can’t help but increase the volume:

"Do you know?"

It could be seen that she was still unmoved and ignored him, so she signaled to Cheng Shi beside her.

Cheng Shi immediately returned a calm look.

When the family of three arrived at the gate of the imperial city and got off the carriage, they saw the young eunuch saying very warmly:

"The female members of the Cheng family don't need to get out of the car. The Holy Father has specially ordered that the female members of the Cheng family are slow and don't know how long it will take to reach Xuanming Hall. They can arrive at Xuanming Hall by carriage."

Cheng Shi looked surprised and exclaimed in a low voice:

"Take a carriage? Directly?"

During tea time, under the leadership of the young eunuch, a family of three entered the Xuanming Hall. Immediately afterwards, Cheng Shaoshang began to teach his father and mother how to walk. He saluted as they did, but he seemed unfamiliar and clumsy.

When Emperor Wen and Empress Xuan, who were in high positions, saw this, they couldn't help but smile.

"Excuse me, give me a seat."

When Cheng Shaoshang heard this, he immediately stood up. When he saw his father and mother continuing to salute and thank him, he hurriedly knelt down to agree.

When the two people in the main seat saw this scene, smiles instantly appeared on their faces.

Emperor Wen saw Cheng Shaoshang looking around and asked:
"What are you looking at?"

Cheng Shaoshang was stunned and sighed sincerely:
"This lamp is really big, and I have only seen such exquisitely built houses in books. I saw it for the first time today, and it's hard not to like it."

After hearing this, Emperor Wen couldn't help but be stunned. Such a bold little girl is indeed rare.

Cheng Shi and his wife, who had already taken their seats, felt their hearts rising to their throats when they saw their daughter acting so unruly.

Xiao Yuanyi hurriedly coughed and lowered her voice:

"sit down."

After Cheng Shaoshang sat down, Cheng began to bow:

"Your Majesty has issued an edict to you and your family. It is a great honor for you and your family."

Emperor Wen looked friendly:
"Cheng Aiqing, there is no need to be polite. My fourth son has a close friendship with Aiqing's daughter. Over the years, he has lived in seclusion and does not want to get close to others. He looks courteous and courteous, but in fact he is the most indifferent. He focuses entirely on martial arts. , unlike his brothers, who are willing to share the country’s worries and mine.”

"It wasn't until I met Aiqing's daughter that my behavior changed. I want to thank Aiqing for raising such a daughter."

Cheng Shi said quickly:
"Your Majesty, your words are serious. My daughter once told me that if it weren't for the Fourth Highness, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been able to save her life. It was me who wanted to."

Emperor Wen immediately interrupted:

"Hey, one code means the other. Cheng Aiqing doesn't need to be too modest. That one is Aiqing's daughter."

Cheng Shigong replied:

"Yes."

Emperor Wen raised his hand to Cheng Shaoshang:
"Come here, let me and the queen take a good look at you."
