Traveling through the heavens from the prequel of the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 702 Life can’t be as good as you imagine, but it won’t be as bad either
Xiao Yuanyi immediately answered:
"Since ancient times, family ugliness should not be publicized. I also want to save some face for my daughter, but she is really not worthy of being reused."

"Your Majesty, the Queen, and my daughter have only known each other for a short period of time. She seems to be well-behaved and understanding, but in reality she is cunning and acts recklessly."

At the same time, Cheng Shaoshang was already on the verge of tears, as if she would cry at any time. She tried her best to open her eyes wide and divert her attention with her wandering eyes.

However, with her sharp ears and eyesight, she could clearly hear the sarcastic laughter of the king in the side hall.

At this time, the third prince sighed repeatedly:

"I can't believe it, I really can't believe that someone would not marry the fourth brother and reduce his own daughter to nothing."

"In my impression, all the girls in the city are vying to marry the fourth brother, but it is the Cheng family that refuses to marry and is willing to disobey the emperor's order."

"I don't know if Mrs. Cheng has good intentions, or if the royal family like us is just fearful."

The prince said solemnly:
"Third brother, be careful, this matter involves the royal family's face."

He immediately looked at Cheng Shi:
"General Cheng, please think twice before acting."

Seeing that Cheng Shi remained silent, Emperor Wen suppressed the anger in his heart and said:

"Cheng Shi, you are not joking. I propose marriage to you today and I have shown my sincerity. If you dare to refuse the marriage in public, you are insulting Long Yan and bringing trouble to the family."

"I will allow you to think twice before answering this matter."

Cheng Shi swallowed his saliva and said:
"I have violated the holy will and deserve to die. I am willing to resign and leave the capital with my wife and daughter. It will not be an eyesore to His Majesty. However, I am unable to reach His Majesty the Fourth Highness. I hope that Your Majesty will do it."

Emperor Wen finally couldn't hold back his anger:

"How presumptuous, Cheng Shi, are you trying to force me to resign? Come here!"

Queen Xuan immediately dissuaded her:

"Your Majesty, please calm down. General Cheng is also in a hurry. Let them think about it again."

After hearing this, Emperor Wen glared at Cheng Shi and his wife and said nothing.

At this moment, Cheng Shaoshang was in tears and raised his smiling face:

"Your Majesty, every word of what my mother said is true. How can someone with such a character as my own daughter, who even my own mother looks down upon, be worthy of the power of the Fourth Highness?"

"Who in the whole city doesn't know that His Highness the Fourth Highness is an unparalleled figure who is like a god."

"He is also the son-in-law that all the little girls in the city want to marry day and night, but I know that I am not a match for such a Fourth Highness."

A flash of recollection flashed through her clear eyes:
"Because I have had bad luck since I was a child, I thought that any bad luck would happen to me. Until I met His Highness the Fourth Prince, I saw that my life was becoming more promising day by day, and finally I no longer had to suffer from hunger from time to time. , I often can’t help but ask myself.”

"Are you dreaming? How could there be such a good-looking son in the world? He is like a god descending from heaven to save me from the fire and water."

"Am I really so lucky?"

"He couldn't bear to hurt my self-esteem and deliberately used exchange to make me self-reliant."

"Seeing that I had never studied or studied, he taught me how to read. He also specially found books that interested me, celebrated my birthday, and even took me to see many things I had been curious about, and faced the things I asked. , never say a word no.”

"Such a perfect husband-in-law, I don't think any girl in the world would reject him."

She paused slightly:
"It's just that His Majesty suddenly proposed marriage today, which really caught my daughter and my family off guard."

Cheng Shaoshang looked at Emperor Wen with determined eyes:
"But there is one thing my mother did right, which is to tell the truth. My daughter is indeed as my mother said. She is vulgar, often gets into trouble, doesn't know how to be considerate of her parents, let alone obey her son-in-law. "

Her eyes suddenly froze:
"But aside from all that, I once asked Ziyan, why am I so nice to me when I'm obviously not a gentle and virtuous girl loved by the world?"

"He didn't answer me directly, he just said these two words to me."

"First, life can't be as good as you imagine, but it won't be as bad as you imagine." "Second, I don't live to meet your expectations, just like you don't live because of my expectations. Same."

"I never understood the true meaning at first. It wasn't until my parents came home and I was stubborn and disobedient that Ziyan said this to me. Then I realized that he actually looked at me like this."

"He said, you are a special flower. You can grow as long as you want. You don't have to grow into what others expect. Even if everyone in the world hopes that you will grow into your original appearance, I still hope that you will grow as long as you want." You can grow into what you want.”

Emperor Wen was very happy:

"Okay, that's well said. Weixiang Ziyan's affection for you is so deep, it's really like me."

"Ms. Cheng, Ziyan is so affectionate and loyal to you, how about you?"

When he saw Cheng Shaoshang turning to look at Cheng Shi and Xiao Yuanyi, he immediately said:
"You don't have to look at them. What they said today doesn't count. Now I make the decision for you. No matter how great your filial piety is, it is not greater than the emperor's will. If you have anything in your heart, just say it."

Emperor Wen continued meaningfully:
"I want to see who dares to refute."

Cheng Shaoshang bowed:
"My daughter does not need others to make decisions, she only listens to herself."

She paused and said:

"My maid, I would like to reach the heights of His Highness the Fourth Highness once."

As soon as this was said, Emperor Wen and Empress Xuan looked at each other and smiled.

The prince and everyone else had more or less smiles on their faces. It was truly a joy in the world to be able to make a loving couple.

"Okay, Mrs. Cheng, you personally agreed to this marriage. You promise a thousand pieces of gold. If anyone dares to do it again in the future, I will definitely punish you."

Cheng Shao Commercial Bank pays homage:

"Thank you Your Majesty for your grace."

Cao Cheng on the side saw that Cheng Shi was still stunned and quickly reminded in a low voice:
"General Cheng, you still don't thank me."

Cheng Shi and his wife had no choice but to say respectfully:

"My lord, my wife, thank you for your grace."

As soon as the family banquet was over, the news of the fourth prince's engagement spread instantly in the capital. Many girls from aristocratic families never expected that the fourth prince's marriage would become a foregone conclusion so quickly.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty did not expect that the current emperor would find a daughter of a military household for the fourth prince.

You must know that in the past few years, countless people from aristocratic families have made insinuations about the fourth prince's marriage in front of Emperor Wen, but they have always left it alone.

Chengfu.

Xiao Yuanyi led Cheng Shi and Cheng Shaoshang into Jiuzhuantang angrily.

"Kneel down."

Cheng Shi saw Cheng Shaoshang's expressionless expression and was afraid that the two women would start to fight each other again, so he quickly gave Cheng Shaoshang a wink and told her not to go hard.

Cheng Shaoshang's eyes dropped and he knelt down silently.
When Xiao Yuanyi saw this, he became angry and pointed at Cheng Shaoshang and said to Cheng Shi:
"Look, look at what she looks like."

Cheng Shi laughed:
"Madam, please be patient for a moment. Sit down first. I was so frightened today, let alone her. I still can't recover for a while."

Xiao Yuanyi, who had just sat down, said angrily after hearing this:

"She was frightened. I saw that she was very majestic today. She agreed to marry in public, and she was not even afraid of the Holy Power."
