Traveling through the heavens from the prequel of the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 704 I guess this is what it feels like to be favored by a mother’s love.
After hearing this, Xiao Yuanyi became angry again and nodded repeatedly:
"Okay, okay, my mother won't stop your future. If you want to marry the fourth prince, my mother will help you."

After saying that, he turned around, his eyes red.

Cheng Shaoshang's eyes also shone with tears unconsciously.

When she stood up to leave, her steps paused, but in the end she left Jiuzhuantang with slightly brisk steps.

Cheng Shi was also helpless about this.

Unexpectedly, today's refusal to marry has deepened the gap between mother and daughter.

starry night.

The inner residence of Cheng Mansion.

Cheng Shaoshang played the flute to the bright moon outside his bed.

A burst of crisp flute sound rose up, the music was gentle and melodious, just like the chirping of a red bird. The sound was clear and distant, seeming to contain a touch of lamentation, but also mixed with a sense of sincere relaxation.

Cheng Shi and his wife were sleeping in bed.

The two of them lay on the bed with deep thoughts, quietly listening to the sound of the flute.

After a while, Xiao Yuanyi suddenly spoke:
"General."

"Ah."

She said lightly:
"I didn't expect that in her heart, I would be thousands of times scarier than the Tian family."

Cheng Shi comforted:

"Madam, please don't think like this. Niao Niao is still young and doesn't understand the painstaking efforts we put into being parents. Although what Madam said wronged her, she had no choice but to do it. Don't be angry with her."

Xiao Yuanyi expressed her true feelings:
"She should not blame me."

She sighed and sat up:

"It was us who felt sorry for Niao Niao in the beginning, but now that she has such an attitude, she is reaping the consequences."

Cheng Shi also stood up and sat up:
"I've said it before, Niao Niao and Madam are both hard-spoken and soft-hearted. They are equally stubborn and unwilling to bow their heads. They also like to say the most hurtful things when they speak."

Xiao Yuanyi's eyes were stunned:

"I don't blame her, I only blame myself. The cause of that day is the result of today. No matter how embarrassed and reluctant we were at the beginning, we abandoned her and made her become what she is now."

She came back to her senses and said:

"It's useless to say too much. There are so many resentful couples in this world. I just hope that she and the fourth prince are not one of them. They can love each other and live a stable life."

Three days later, Changqiu Palace.

Queen Xuan sat on the main seat, looking at Fang Fang Shao Shang who looked a little distracted, and smiled sweetly:
"Young Shang, today is the day when His Majesty will send someone to your house to hire someone. How about I ask you to leave the palace and go home today?"

An embarrassed look appeared on Mr. Cheng's face:

"It's just that I was tossing and turning a little bit last night and fell asleep a little late. I just need to take a nap. There's no need to leave the palace early."

Queen Xuan said softly:

"It's about your own marriage. Which girl wouldn't care about it? This is a normal thing. Just go and take a rest first."

When Cheng Shaoshang heard this, he finally couldn't help but express the question buried in his heart:
"Queen, why are you so nice to me? As soon as I came to Changqiu Palace, you specially prepared a room for me to rest in the side hall. Even the anxiang was extremely attentive and considerate and asked me what kind of smell I like."

"I heard Ziyan say that I like craftsmen's drawings, and I even placed a long table in the house."

"You know, even at home, my mother has never treated me like this. Is it because of Ziyan that she treats me like this?"

Queen Xuan shook her head gently and said with a smile:
"Not entirely. It is natural for me to be curious and fond of the girl Ziyan likes. I also heard that you had a hard time surviving when you were young. How could you still be so well-behaved and sensible? From the bottom of my heart, I want to treat you better and better." "Furthermore, your mother is a female general who has been on the battlefield. She is decisive in killing. She will inevitably be strict in teaching her children."

Cheng Shaoshang said slightly disappointed:
"When have I ever been well-behaved and sensible? My mother only thinks that I am ignorant and have no rules at all."

Queen Xuan spoke slowly:
"Parents in this world only care about their own children and envy other people's children. They only use them to teach their own children. If they are allowed to exchange them with their own children, you will see whether they will exchange them."

Cheng Shaoshang'e frowned slightly:
"But if we compare like this over time, how can our children not feel resentful in their hearts?"

Queen Xuan said with deep understanding:

"As a parent, how can I not know these simple truths? It's just that life cannot be repeated. The responsibility of educating children is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. There is no way back. Only when your children are stronger can parents feel more at ease."

She meant something:
"By forcing you, we are actually forcing ourselves."

Seeing Cheng Shaoshang's thoughtful silence, he smiled softly and said:
"You grew up without your parents, and suffered from the hardships of your aunt and aunt. I was once in the same situation. I know that survival is not easy, so I inevitably pity you and prefer you more."

"Therefore, even if you are a little bit speechless, I don't feel offended. Do you understand how much I care about you?"

Cheng Shaoshang's eyes were full of emotion. At this moment, even though she told him that she was partial to herself more out of sympathy for her childhood experiences, she didn't feel embarrassed at all. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart:

"I guess this is what it feels like to be favored by a mother's love."

So, she smiled and said:
"Thank you, queen. Young Shang understands."

"Well, let's go take a nap."

Not long after Cheng Shaoshang returned to the room where he was resting in the side hall, Wang Jian walked in without seeing anyone else. She looked around the room for a while and said:

"The furnishings here are really deserted and simple. It seems that my aunt treats you no better than this. When I was a child, I lived in the palace. All I used was gold-painted lacquerware, the paving was crocodile silk brocade, and the incense I burned was Fengxigu. , what you drink is.”

Cheng Shaoshang immediately interrupted:
"Madam Wang, you may not believe me, but actually I like you because you are stupid."

Wang Yao glared angrily when she heard this, but before she spoke, Cheng Shaoshang continued:

"I like it because you are stupid enough. You can make people take advantage of you as soon as you open your mouth. The first time I saw you at my house, I felt that you should learn one thing, which is to shut up."

"Your Majesty has always practiced frugality. It's not like I haven't seen the Queen's palace before. Why are you talking about the gold-painted lacquerware and the crocodile brocade? What nonsense are you talking about with your eyes open?"

"You are really not afraid that the Holy One will punish you for wasting your life."

Wang Jian argued:

"Those were originally furnishings in the old palace, and no national funds were used."

When Cheng Shaoshang heard this, he said crisply:
"It's not yours for a long time. I'm too lazy to talk nonsense to you. Get out quickly."

Wang Yao couldn't bear this tone and said:

"Who says it's not mine? Do you know that the living expenses of the royal family of Qian'an should be richer than this palace? My eldest father is the ancestor of the Wen family and an important minister of the previous dynasty. Since his ancestors, he has been rich in the world and stationed troops. Ten thousand."

"The Holy One and Concubine Yue were childhood sweethearts. It was in order to unite with my eldest father that he married the queen who was fostered in his family."

She paused, with a tone of unwillingness:
"It's a pity that since the Battle of Gucheng and my eldest father's death, my family has plummeted and become what it is now."

When Cheng Shaoshang heard this, he immediately made up his mind:

"The outdated royal family."

"You" Wang Jiao's mouth trembled angrily. Just when she was about to say something, Cheng Shaoshang's ears twitched and he heard someone in the main hall mocking Queen Xuan.

In an instant, she shouted to Wang Jian:
"Shut up, do you still want to experience the sleepless nights after attending Princess Yuchang's birthday party?"

A look of fear suddenly appeared on Wang Yao's face, as if she had recalled something.
