Chapter 301 The Third Prince

Did Cheng Shaoshang catch up with Jing Haoying?
Not long after Jing Haoying left the palace, he ran into the third prince, and it seemed that the third prince was about to leave the palace too.
The two exchanged pleasantries, Jing Haoying took out the skewers in his hand, stretched out his hand and handed over a few skewers,
"Come on, cousin, try it, Shaoshang grilled it himself, I came out of Changqiu Palace just now, and I ordered a few skewers!"

The third prince usually pays more attention to his image, he thinks it is indecent to eat it in public, and he is always serious, so he refuses again and again,

"No, I already had lunch at the concubine's place just now, Zixiu, you should eat by yourself!"

When Jing Haoying heard the words, he no longer cared about him. He kindly distracted you. If you don’t eat, I’m not enough. I started eating on my own.

"You, what's the matter with eating some skewers with that stinky shelf?
I just like to pick up skewers while walking! "

After he said this, and seeing his profligate appearance, the third prince started to persuade Jing Haoying,

"Zixiu, you are also the son of a prince and prince, so you have to pay attention to your own dignity. Look, this is still in the palace.
You are so unrestrained, be careful when the censor sees a copy of you! "

Jing Haoying said nonchalantly while licking the skewers:

"Hey, just participate, I don't care, besides, those censors are very busy, they don't have time to care about me, it's up to you and the prince's cousin,
Even if the unsightly person really gets involved with me, it doesn't matter if I can lose a piece of meat or lose a hair! "

Seeing his reckless appearance, the third prince shook his head helplessly, thinking that Zicheng is better, and more to his liking, thinking of Ling Zicheng, he couldn't help asking:

"By the way, this time Zisheng refused to marry, and I heard that he also went to Jinyang?
Zixiu, you have had the most contact with him recently, can you tell what he is thinking?Do you have any other favorite little girls? "He was also really worried, and Jing Haoying was not an outsider, so he couldn't help asking,

"I'm dizzy, why do you have the same tone,

Brother, I beg you to leave Ling Zicheng alone,

I see, people don't mean that at all, you are all worrying about it, just now in Changqiu Palace, uncle also talked for a long time, I just escaped! "Suddenly reacted, pretending to be puzzled and said:
"No, you and Zisheng have always been at odds, haven't you?
No matter how you ask this, you must know that Zisheng supports the prince's cousin! "

The third prince's face didn't change when he heard this.
"It suddenly occurred to me that I was just asking casually!" Then he inadvertently changed the subject:
"By the way, Zixiu, I got a new piece of fine Kunlun white jade from there. It's pure white and flawless, delicate and moist. Would you like to go and have a look together?

I heard that you and Mr. Shaoshang are going to get married soon. If you like it, I will give it to you as a gift for your marriage!What do you think? "

In fact, he got this piece of jade very early, and he has never been willing to use it. He originally planned to give it to Ling Buyi in the future. It's not that reluctant, although the relationship with Jing Haoying is not as close as that of Ling Buyi, but it's not bad,

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go, hurry up!"

Jing Haoying was also very interested when he heard it. It's rare that this cousin is so generous, and he didn't bother to ask how he and Ling Buyi were doing.

Kunlun jade in later generations refers to Qinghai jade. Although it is similar to Hetian jade, it is slightly different. The east of Kunlun Mountain is called Kunlun jade, and the north of the mountain is called Hetian jade. This is what later generations said.

There is no such classification yet. The top grade of Kunlun white jade basically refers to the top grade suet white jade in Hetian jade.
Suet white jade is very precious at any time, not to mention when productivity is low,
The seal of his family, that is, his father's king, is a piece of suet white jade, and there is also a jade pendant around his waist. Although it is also of the top grade, it is not as high as suet white.

While chatting, the two left the palace, preparing to go to the palace of the third prince,

The third prince was granted the title of king very early on and had an independent palace in the capital, but there was no vassal for the time being. On the one hand, because there were only a few of Emperor Wen’s sons, the emperor couldn’t bear to be separated so early. After a while, the country's finances are not so well-off. If the prince becomes a vassal, he will inevitably have to allocate a large amount of land and reduce income, so the matter of the vassal has been delayed again and again.
However, there are advantages and disadvantages to this, because the three princes have never taken up residence, and it is inevitable that some people will speculate that there are still variables in the succession of the throne. After all, the emperor left all the princes in the capital, so it is hard to guarantee that he will have the heart to reserve one day.

……

Not long.The two arrived at the palace of the third prince, and not long after they sat down,

The third prince had just ordered the maid to fetch it, and before he had time to appreciate the suet white jade, the third princess came in a hurry,

"Brother, ah, my cousin is here too!"

The two turned their heads to look at the third princess when they heard the words. Jing Haoying's attitude was not bad, and he said with a smile:
"Little San is here too!"

The third prince frowned, he was similar to Concubine Yue, he thought the youngest was not very pleasing to the eye, but he was his younger sister anyway, so he asked:
"If you're not in your mansion to accompany Xuan Consort, what are you doing here!"

The third princess felt a little wronged when she heard it, but thinking of the purpose of coming today, she still smiled and said:

"Brother, sister and son-in-law are almost at a loss,

You also know that Xuan's son-in-law is not good at management, Changqiu..." Thinking of Jing Haoying's presence, and the third prince's frowning, he quickly reacted,

"The empress has cut expenses again, and the mother and concubine are not willing to help me. Brother, my sister's family is really struggling, or you can support me!"

When the third prince heard this, his face became even more ugly. If the person in front of him was not his direct sister, he would have scolded him severely, but even though there was no scolding, the tone of his speech was also very blunt.
"Although the empress has cut expenses and reduced your salary, but with your food, it is more than enough to maintain the princess's dignity,

I think you are going to buy those stinky things to show off again,

I advise you to give up this heart early, don't say that you don't have it, even if you have it, I won't be with you! "

When the third princess heard this, she wanted to hold on for a while, but when she saw Jing Haoying, she changed her mind again. This cousin is a rich man, and he doesn't need to spend as much as the third brother, so she hurriedly looked at Jing Haoying,
"Cousin, how about you..."

Jing Haoying hastily waved his hand and refused, you are thinking beautifully, our friendship is not that great,
"Don't look for me,
I'm going to get married soon, and the serious expenses are not small. Besides, look at you, dressed in gold and silver, you don't look like you are short of money! "

The third princess hurried to Jing Haoying's side, grabbed his sleeve and pretended to be pitiful and explained:
"Oh, cousin,

These are just for outsiders to see, for fear of being laughed at by others. In fact, the family has no money for a long time.

Good cousin, you should help others! "While speaking, he shook his arm with a flattering expression.

Jing Haoying had goosebumps. It's strange to say that Concubine Yue looks very beautiful, but both daughters are relatively ordinary. The second princess has a calm, dignified and generous personality. I don't think so. , looks average, and makes a fool of himself,
Just as he was about to say something, the Third Prince couldn't take it anymore and scolded:

"Shut up, look at your appearance, you don't look like a princess,
Where have all the dignity and virtuousness gone, hurry back to me, I think tomorrow I will report to the emperor, let him ground you, save you from showing off everywhere! "

The third princess was very wronged when she heard that, it’s fine if you don’t borrow money, and you have to worry about me borrowing from others.
"Brother, are you still my real brother? Why don't you help others?

Besides, what if I just borrowed something from my cousin? "Then turned to look at Jing Haoying expectantly,

"Don't you think so, cousin!"

Jing Haoying is naturally determined not to borrow. This girl's character like a brave one must be borrowed and never repaid. He doesn't want to be taken advantage of. Besides, to be honest, he doesn't like this mistress' temperament very much. If the second princess Open your mouth, maybe he will think about one or two, let's forget about the third child,

"Ahem, little San'er,

You also know the situation of your cousin, yes, your uncle and aunt in my family have a lot of living places, but they belong to them. I can’t make decisions about your cousin now. There is only one salary, which is ten years away from your living place. Thousands of miles away,

How do you ask me to help you! "

When the three princesses heard this, they were thinking about whether they would pretend to cry with pear blossoms and rain to win sympathy, and they were still brewing emotions.
Coincidentally, the maid who just went to fetch the jade material came in with the jade material. The jade material was placed on the tray, and the setting sun cast a warm radiance on the jade material.
When I walked in and took a look, the jade material was not too big, but it was fine and moist in texture, like curd fat. There was no fake in this period, and it must be the best suet white jade.

"Report to your Highnesses, this servant has been ordered to bring the precious jade!"

The third prince nodded slightly, and gestured towards the chopping board between him and Jing Haoying,
"Let it go!"

Then, looking at the white jade that had been put down, regardless of the three princesses' staring eyes, she directly smiled at Jing Haoying and said:
"Zixiu, take a look, does it catch your eyes?"

Jing Haoying picked it up, played with it, and took a closer look at it. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. This thing is a good thing that has been popular for thousands of years.

It is very comfortable to hold in the hand, plus the warm jade light, not ostentatious, not gorgeous, not dazzling, there is a kind of beauty of "bright light inside", very mysterious and reserved,

No wonder the ancients liked to say that a gentleman is like a jade. It is not unreasonable. They praised again and again:

"Okay, okay, it's the best Kunlun white jade, haha,

I'm going to be disrespectful to my little brother, just let my cousin spend money on you, haha! "

The third prince shook his head and said with a smile:
"What did you spend, Zixiu, for your wedding ceremony, if you don't give something expensive, you can't afford it!"

The atmosphere between the two was very friendly,
But the third princess next to her was about to explode. Her brother gave her feelings to her cousin. She is also very rare for such a precious thing. When she got married, this brother just gave it to her. I was quite satisfied with the ordinary gold and silver items, but compared with this mutton fat white jade, it was too far behind, and I suddenly said angrily:

"Brother, you are too much. When I got married, you only gave a few hundred gold. Why did you give such a precious jade to my cousin?

Just now I was not willing to borrow my sister for some expenses, but now I have given my cousin such a precious thing,
I don't care, I want it too, brother, you can find another one together, my aunt will take me to meet some old friends in a few days, I just take it to open their eyes! "After she said that, she enjoyed the scene where those people envied her, but she didn't notice that the third prince's face was getting darker and darker.

The third prince really couldn't understand this younger sister's behavior, so he slapped the table angrily and shouted:
"Get out for me and see how your current virtue is different from those vulgar market women. It's really disgusting to see, get out of here!"

The third prince has a very temperament like Concubine Yue, plus he is upright and serious at first, and he looks scary when he gets angry. The third princess saw that the prince was really angry, so she didn't dare to say anything and ran away crying. go out.

Jing Haoying pretended to be embarrassed and persuaded:

"Cough cough, Xiao San'er grew up with an aunt of the Yue family, and has more or less been infected with that habit. Cousin doesn't have to be so angry!"

The third prince shook his head, sighed and said:
"My aunt, hey, it's really hard to say. Speaking of which, the thing my mother and concubine regrets the most is entrusting this third sister to her to raise her like this!" Then she managed her expression,
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this,
Look at this piece of beautiful jade, but I finally found it..."

The two chatted for a while, and in the evening Jing Haoying had another meal with the third prince before returning home.

Speaking of which, Jing Haoying has also absorbed his father's reminder. In the past, he was indeed too close to the Changqiu Palace, the prince and others. Now he can talk more with the third prince to balance the relationship. Anyway, his family is now In a neutral state, it's fine if you don't comb both sides.

The next few days, nothing major,
I just attended the wedding of Lou He's family.

The two families held a big event this time, much better than the engagement banquet that day, almost all the famous and famous people attended, and those who didn't came also gave a lot of congratulatory gifts.

After all, the He family is now one of the top families in the army, and their sons are fighting each other, and they look like they are going to be prosperous forever. Although the Lou family is not close, it is also a famous family, so everyone is very respectful.

Jing Haoying is naturally a distinguished guest among the distinguished guests. On the one hand, he has a distinguished status, and on the other hand, he is the savior of the He family. He Yong has always accompanied Jing Haoying in person, and even the crown prince and third prince are left aside.
In fact, apart from being grateful to Jing Haoying, He Yong also took the opportunity to express his opinion, saying that now he is only loyal to His Majesty and does not want to get involved in the dispute over the reserve position.

When the wedding was going on, Jing Haoying looked at the extraordinarily beautiful He Zhaojun with a little bit of regret, but when he saw Cheng Shaoshang next to him smiling and smiling, he immediately put that bit of regret behind him, after all My own family is not bad at all, and my temperament is also rare, I am really a little dizzy, what do I want to do so much.

Lou Yao and He Zhaojun looked very happy. Since the He family had an accident, He Zhaojun has changed a lot of temperament, and he knows how to be humble and encouraging when getting along with Lou Yao, so these days, the two get along well.
The two were destined to be married since they were young, and now they are finally married. Lou He's family is also very happy.

During the period, Lou Ben also came to toast Jing Haoying, and his words were full of gratitude. Jing Haoying looked at him as if he had lost the gloom of the past. Obviously, after entering the official career, his future went smoothly, and the second wife flourished, and he also changed.

As usual, he encouraged and reminded him. As for Lou Ben Ting didn't listen to him, he didn't care. Seeing that everything is going well, rest assured.

It's not going to be a big deal in the future,
Jing Haoying and Cheng Shaoshang's wedding date has finally been set, it will be next month, neither sooner nor later,

However, the two still began to prepare intensively.

But Jing Haoying and Cheng Shaoshang basically don't need to manage these things, they can do whatever they need to do, and everything is prepared at home.

After the announcement, he really treated Cheng Shaoshang as his own daughter. Even the wedding dress and dowry were prepared in private. Cheng Shaoshang was very pleasantly surprised when he found out.

On the contrary, Xiao Yuanyi was very disappointed, especially the wedding dress and the like. After all, the Empress Xuan had prepared it, so naturally the Empress Xuan had to use it. The ones prepared by her mother were useless.

The relationship between the mother and daughter is still so tepid, much worse than the relationship between Cheng Shaoshang and Queen Xuan. Seeing that her daughter is about to get married, and she still runs to the Changqiu Palace every day, Xiao Yuanyi inevitably feels uncomfortable taste.

If you want to talk to Cheng Shao, you can't wipe your face. Anyway, you are still hanging around like this. You can only feel uncomfortable in your heart.

However, she is also to blame for this. When she first returned to the capital, she was too harsh on Cheng Shaoshang, which caused the current situation, which is probably her own fault.
