Traveling through the heavens from the prequel of the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 710: Respect the fate of others, let go of the complex of helping others, and avoid being moved by yourself
Yang Jiao's expression remained calm:

"Not only that, but you don't know that the prince once had a childhood sweetheart. Her name is Qu Lingjun. She was a lady from an aristocratic family. She was excellent in appearance, talent, and knowledge. They both liked each other."

"However, both the father and the prince are people who value love and justice. They both felt that it was unjust to regret the engagement now that they were so prosperous when they were not powerful when they got engaged, so they insisted on completing the engagement."

"We were all opposed to this at the time because we all knew that the Crown Prince liked Qu Lingjun. If we insisted on marrying the Crown Princess, it would be nothing more than a pair of resentful couples."

"What is worth mentioning here is the Crown Princess Sun. At that time, she knew very well that the Crown Prince had someone else in mind, and her family members also advised her not to marry."

"In this way, she can still get a generous reward, but she insisted on marrying the prince, so the marriage was facilitated."

"Back then, Ling Buyi found Sun in private and told the Crown Prince and Qu Lingjun what happened, hoping that Sun would refuse the marriage and marry the Crown Prince. However, he didn't expect that she would still insist on marrying into the Tian family."

"And, as far as I know, Mrs. Sun made things difficult for Qu Lingjun from now on. Even though she was married, she still refused to let him go. She kept sending Qu Lingjun all kinds of things that hinted at her love in the name of the prince, thus This angered Qu Lingjun’s husband Liang Shang, causing her to suffer domestic violence for a long time.”

"Now you understand what it means to know people, faces but not hearts."

After listening to this, Cheng Shaoshang looked like he had truly recognized the true face of the Crown Princess.

"I never like to meddle too much in other people's affairs. Besides, given the temperament of the Crown Prince and Mrs. Sun, if I interfere, I will cause some trouble."

"That's why I'll tell you in advance: respect the fate of others, put aside your desire to help others, and avoid being moved by yourself."

Cheng Shaoshang couldn't help laughing when he heard the last part:

"As expected of you, you can say that you are so fresh and refined even when you are just watching."

Within a few days, the Fourth Prince's Mansion became completely lively and no longer as quiet as before.

Well-known civil servants and generals from the capital came to the mansion one after another to attend the engagement banquet between the fourth prince of the dynasty and the daughter of Marquis Qu Ling. The whole process was hosted by Emperor Wen, Empress Xuan and Concubine Yue.

Therefore, although there were countless people at the engagement banquet who were very dissatisfied that the fourth prince actually fell in love with a military girl, there was nothing they could do about it. However, those who were quick-thinking all thought that since the Holy One had done the deed of Emperor E and Nv Ying, then the fourth prince That's not a bad idea.

starry night.

The Fourth Prince's Mansion, the back house, and the pavilion.

Cheng Shaoshang and Wan Qiqi exchanged glasses and drank wine.

At this moment, both women were blushing and shaking their heads. After they drank another glass of wine, Wan Qiqi said dizzy:

"Sister Shaoshang, today is your special day of engagement. All those annoying ladies from aristocratic families have gone away. We must have a good time celebrating tonight. We won't stop getting drunk."

Cheng Shaoshang replied drunkenly:
"Well, I'm not drunk anymore. I also told my parents that I will go back later tonight."

Wan Qiqi laughed while pouring wine:
"Sister Shaoshang, you are really fast. You are obviously younger than me, but you are ahead of me in getting married. Also, you didn't see it before. At the engagement banquet, I don't know how many noble ladies from the aristocratic families saw you getting engaged to His Majesty the Fourth Highness. The teeth are itching with hatred, and my hands are afraid that they will bleed."

Suddenly, she said enviously:
"When you get married, you alone will have the final say in the huge prince's palace. It's really enviable. Don't be too comfortable in these days when no one cares about you."

Cheng Shaoshang looked a little melancholy:
"In the past, my mother took care of me every day, and I felt anxious and irritable. Since I made an engagement with Ziyan and went to the Changqiu Palace to attend the training, my mother no longer cares about me. Suddenly, I feel a little empty in my heart. I don’t feel grounded.”

Wan Qiqi held the wine bottle with her hand:

"You, you are just a little anxious before getting married. Before my twelfth sister got married, she was just like you, worrying about gains and losses. You just need to get used to it in the future. Otherwise, when you marry His Highness the Fourth Highness, you will have to marry a mother-in-law." .”

Cheng Shaoshang nodded, feeling that it made sense, and immediately picked up the pottery bowl:
"Sister Qi Qi, come on, drink. I just asked someone to bring in a lot of peach blossoms. We will definitely have a good time." As the two women drank again, Wan Qi Qi gradually lay on the table, lost in thought. He said vaguely:
"I realized tonight that this Peach Blossom Drunk is indeed intoxicating, but after drinking two or three pots, I feel dizzy."

As she talked, she fell into a deep sleep.

At this moment, even though he had the magic power, Cheng Shaoshang had already grabbed the wine pot with his hand and rested his chin on the spout, as if he was alone and drunk.

She glanced at it and said in surprise:
"Ziyan, why are you here!"

After saying that, he flew up and hugged Yang Jiao's neck.

Yang Jiao picked up Cheng Shaoshang and heard her murmur:
"I always felt that I was unlucky in the past, but now that I think about it, I feel that I might have saved up all my previous luck and used it to meet you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he fell asleep in Yang Jiao's arms.

Immediately, Yang Jiao ordered Tofang, who was standing aside with a look-alike gesture:

"Go prepare the carriage and let me take them all back to the mansion."

"Yes."

The next day.

Changqiu Palace.

Emperor Wen and Empress Xuan were playing chess above, while Cheng Shaoshang was embroidering his dowry below.

"I heard that someone got very drunk last night and kept Ziyan up all night. I don't know if it was groundless or if it was true."

Cheng Shaoshang's cheeks turned red upon hearing this, and a pair of brilliant starry eyes appeared in his mind.

But he remembered that he woke up in Yang Jiao's arms with his arms stretched out early this morning, and then immediately met Yang Jiao's playful eyes.

Queen Xuan pursed her lips and smiled and said:
"Your Majesty, it is inevitable that a happy day will happen on a whim. This is human nature."

Emperor Wen looked at Cheng Shaoshang:
"The queen has always spoken kindly to me, saying that you are smart and thoughtful, so I will leave it to you to organize the birthday banquet in Changqiu Palace."

Cheng Shaoshang quickly raised his head:
"Young Shang has only been in the palace to learn the rules for a few months. He still doesn't understand everything. How can he compare to Sister Jitong who is so versatile? Besides, Zi Yan also asked me to practice diligently, so I have to spare my energy for it. Practice.”

"If I don't work harder, I'm afraid I will be old and yellow in the future, while Ziyan will still be as young as this."

"Your Majesty, can you bear to see me turn into a withered bone in the future, leaving Ziyan alone in the world?"

Queen Xuan couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile, obviously amused.

Emperor Wen said angrily:
"I knew you were going to shirk. You really learned all about that Shuzi's behavior."

He paused:
"Well, I want you to organize this birthday banquet, so I can't help but have you take some time off."

Cheng Shaoshang became anxious upon hearing this and quickly looked at Empress Xuan, but she deliberately sat upright as if she didn't know anything.

So Cheng Shaoshang hurriedly got up, knelt down next to Empress Xuan, and told Emperor Wen:
"Your Majesty, please think twice. There are so many princes and princesses in this palace. If you entrust me with the Queen's birthday banquet, I'm afraid I can't do it well."
