Chapter 318 Is there a fatality?
the next day,
Cheng Shaoshang and Xiao Yuanyi took Cheng Shaogong, who knew nothing, to Sancai Temple to burn incense and worship gods.

The old prince was so shrewd, he knew what he was doing after seeing the family of three, and he took Yuchang to receive the three of them, not to mention his amiable attitude.

Because Cheng Shaoshang is Jing Haoying's daughter-in-law, Yuchang didn't doubt it, and greeted everyone with enthusiasm,

Even Xiao Yuanyi looked at her and nodded. In the past, even with Jing Haoying's relationship, Yuchang would not be condescending, but he would not be so enthusiastic. Now he looks more dignified and sensible, which is different from the past.

While chatting with several people, Cheng Shaoshang and other people in the know were observing Cheng Shaogong and Yuchang intentionally or unintentionally.

The key point is that neither of the two of them thought about that, and Yuchang was fine with it, and he barely had a normal mind.
Cheng Shaogong still had a bit of "awe" towards Yuchang, after all, Yuchang's previous reputation was there, he always spoke cautiously, Yuchang didn't speak, he would never speak, so he seemed a little timid.

Both Cheng Shaoshang and Xiao Yuanyi watched and shook their heads. According to their Cheng family, the mother and daughter are the most courageous. Compared with Cheng Shi and the few sons, they are more 'timid' and less generous in their actions.

The old prince nodded frequently, thinking it was good. He is a person who has experienced troubled times. He thinks that only those who are cautious and careful can live for a long time. For example, the family of Chengyang Hou Lingyi always stood at the rear in wars. Now it is not a rich and prosperous family. Well, of course, Cheng Shaogong's character is a hundred times stronger than that of Ling Yi, that is to say,
Then Xiao Yuanyi and the others made an excuse to ask the old prince to help find a reliable "old god" to calculate the auspicious dates for Cheng Song and Wan Qiqi, leaving Cheng Shaoshang and Yuchang alone to talk.

Didn't leave until noon,

On the way, Cheng Shaoshang pretended to be casual and said:
"This Princess Yuchang, who has been practicing in Sancai Temple for more than half a year, is not the same as before!"

Xiao Yuanyi also nodded and said:

"No, I also feel that the changes are not small, and she is much more gentle and pleasant!"

After speaking, both of them looked at Cheng Shaogong,

Cheng Shaogong was puzzled at first, only to realize that the two of them wanted to ask him what he meant, and said a little reservedly:
"It's not good for us to talk about people behind their backs like this, it's not for a gentleman!"

Cheng Shaoshang glared at Cheng Shaogong angrily,
"How to pretend, I don't know you yet, how can you get involved with a gentleman, we just ask your opinion, talk about it, anyway, we are at our own home!"

Cheng Shaogong laughed when he heard the words, and he wasn't putting on an act. In fact, he was polite in front of outsiders, and he was mostly lively and funny in his bones. He said with a smile:
"I also feel that Princess Yuchang is different from the past. Didn't everyone say how unruly and willful she is in the past?

I think it's okay now, at least he's kind to us, not like that kind of look down on people!
I think [-]% of us are under the influence of my brother-in-law, doesn't it mean that the relationship between my brother-in-law's family and the old prince is good! "

Upon hearing this, Cheng Shaoshang deliberately said:

"It can't be because of Zixiu's favor, I think it's the third brother who is so romantic and charming, he must have fascinated Princess Yuchang!"

When Cheng Shaogong heard it, his face was full of complacency, he shook his head and said with a smile:

"That may not be the case. Think of me, Cheng Shaogong, who is also famously handsome and unrestrained. I don't belong to Ling Buyi, Yuan Shanjian and others. It's normal for Princess Yuchang to be fascinated by me!"

Cheng Shaoshang covered his chest as if about to vomit, expressing contempt,

Secretly, he and Xiao Yuanyi looked at each other and thought he was worthy, at least seeing Cheng Shaogong's appearance, he did not reject Princess Yuchang.

Marriage these days is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. There is not so much love and love. It is quite good to meet each other without feeling disgusted.

……

On the other side, the old prince also pretended to ask Yuchang casually what he thought of the members of the Cheng family, and deliberately belittled Cheng Shaoshang and said:

"Speaking of which, Zixiu felt a little wronged. Shaoshang's family is still worse than Zixiu's!"

Yuchang knew that Jing Haoying and Cheng Shaoshang were still very harmonious and loved each other, so he immediately defended:

"Father is wrong to say that, in fact, my cousin is quite nice.

Even the empress is full of praise, plus her aunt and cousin like it,

I have always misunderstood them a little bit, and felt that the families of the two were not well-matched. Now that they are so loving, I feel envious. I think as long as the couple is in harmony, the family is not the most important thing.
Besides, no matter who you marry in a family like your cousin, it's low to marry, and it's good to marry someone like your cousin's sister-in-law, at least they are happy with each other! "

The old prince nodded secretly after hearing this, indicating that the granddaughter doesn't care about the family so much now, and then said:
"The boy who came to his family today, the father heard that he and Shaoshang are twins of dragon and phoenix,

It looks much worse than Shaoshang, he is so dumb, so stupid, not at all as clever and cute as Shaoshang! "

Yuchang didn't understand why, but he still said:
"I think it's alright. It's not as bad as what Dafu said. He seems to be a gentle and gentle gentleman.

Speaking of which, the children of the Cheng family are pretty good, and they are all affectionate and righteous people. I won’t talk about my cousin. I heard my cousin say it before,

The second brother of the Cheng family is willing to marry in order to marry the daughter of the Wan family. It's really rare! "

While talking, he still looked yearning, but then thought of his ill-fated fate, he couldn't help feeling a little sad secretly,

Later, she realized that she didn't want the old prince to see her thoughts, so she quickly adjusted her expression.

The old man, who is old and mature, naturally knows that Yuchang is a little bit sad, and thinks that the best way is to let Yuchang get married quickly, and he doesn't pay much attention to love at this time.
He also looked at all the members of the Cheng family, their character was fine, and the relationship with Jing Haoying made him even more convinced of this marriage.
And he also thought of something, Yuchang is a low marriage, the Cheng family naturally dare not neglect, if Yuchang marries Cheng Shaogong, the Jing family, the Wen family, and the Cheng family will be regarded as more intimate, and the relationship will be even closer. Being close, Jing Haoying also made it convenient for him to see Gu Yuchang, which couldn't be better.

The more I think about it, the more reliable it becomes.

When Jing Haoying was still discussing with Cheng Shao that night, he received a letter sent by the old prince overnight. At home, he once again showed his old face and asked the emperor to marry him.

Jing Haoying looked at it dumbfounded, this old man is playing tricks, he doesn't talk about martial arts, this is, yesterday he said that both parties must agree, today he can agree on his own, he is not afraid that the Cheng family will also come Refused to marry?But I guess the Cheng family really didn't dare, after all, few were as bold as Ling Buyi and dared to resist the order.

Seeing Jing Haoying's expression, Cheng Shaoshang next to him questioned:
"What's the matter, what did the old prince say, why do you have such an expression!"

Jing Haoying reached out and handed Cheng Shaoshang's letter, and said with a smile:
"Look for yourself, old man, this is unreasonable!"

After Cheng Shaoshang reached out to take it, he couldn't help laughing after reading it, and said with a smile:
"Why is the old prince acting like a child, and still acting like a fool!"

"Haha, my grandfather is like this, no matter how old he is, he has a good mentality,

So it seems that Grandfather has made up his mind to let Yuchang marry into your Cheng family! "Jing Haoying then coughed dryly twice, and asked solemnly:

"Cheng Shaoshang, what's the attitude of your Cheng family!"

As usual, Cheng Shaoshang gave Jing Haoying a supercilious look, and then said:

"Maybe there is still a contradiction!"

Jing Haoying almost understood in his heart that the old father-in-law and mother-in-law thought rationally that it was definitely a good marriage for Cheng Shaogong to marry Yuchang.

But I was somewhat worried, after all, Yuchang was so obsessed with Ling Buyi, and was refused marriage, it was too embarrassing, if his family got married, he would lose face,
Coupled with the fact that Yuchang's family background is so noble, it is difficult for some people to say sourly that the Cheng family is greedy for vanity. After all, everyone has it these days.

Anyone would have to hesitate for two days on this matter, so it's not good to agree immediately,

Even so, we still have to hurry up, Jing Haoying said:

"Although this matter is not so urgent, don't worry too much about it.

After all, I am still very anxious to see what my grandfather meant. If he is so anxious, don't worry too much about it.
These two people, you should go back to Cheng's house twice more to persuade them, I will deal with grandpa,
By the way, my mother also knows, and she quite agrees,
If your family agrees to this matter, my mother will personally arrange the marriage.

So you don't have to worry about the others! "

Cheng Shaoshang nodded when he heard the words. It is indeed the truth. Even though Princess Yuchang was once ashamed, she is the princess of the palace after all. The old prince of Ruyang is the emperor's uncle, and the emperor has to call him uncle when he meets him, which is not the same. For ordinary vassals,

People are so willing to marry the Cheng family, not only because of the character of the Cheng family, but also because of the relationship between Wen Miao and Jing Haoying.

If my family is too reserved, it's a bit out of character, and it might offend others,
He said that he would go back in the next two days to persuade his parents.
……

The next day, before Cheng Shaoshang had time to return to his natal home,
The whole family is eating breakfast, and Cheng Shaoshang is coaxing Jing Haoying's grandmother to eat. The old lady has been anorexic for the past two days, so she has to be coaxed by Cheng Shaoshang to eat.

Cheng Shaoshang picked up the sweet bait and handed it to the old lady's mouth,
"Grandma, ah, open your mouth and take a bite, this sweet bait is so sweet!"

The old lady seemed to resist,
"Oh, I'm not a child, I don't eat, I don't eat!"

He said so on his mouth, but his mouth moved away unnaturally,

From Jing Haoying's point of view, this old lady has a ruddy complexion and is full of spirit. She is probably pretending. Sometimes the older she gets, the more she looks like a child. She probably wants Cheng Shaoshang to coax her.
If you say that Cheng Shaoshang's character really pleases the elders, not to mention being clever and cute, he can let go and chatter in front of the elders, the elders like this kind of energetic little girl,

Now Cheng Shaoshang is closer to the old lady Wen Miao than Jing Haoying,
That is to say, there is no child yet, otherwise Jing Haoying would have no status.

Seeing Cheng Shaoshang coaxing the old lady there, Wen Miao also looked relieved, thinking that the daughter-in-law here is good, and although she has a good relationship with the old lady, but she can't do it like this,
Just about to praise Cheng Shaoshang,
The prince came to find Wen Miao in a hurry, saluted as soon as they met, and said anxiously:
"Auntie, please ask Auntie to move, so my nephew will come into the palace!"

Seeing that the prince was in such a hurry, Wen Miao thought something serious had happened, so she immediately stood up and asked:
"You guys are anxious, but what happened in the palace?" Although he didn't say it directly, he thought in his heart that there is something wrong with Brother Huang?
Jing Haoying, Cheng Shaoshang, and the old concubine also immediately put down their bowls and chopsticks, and looked at the prince, all guessing.

The prince looked troubled, he is a generous person, he was unwilling to say some things, so he could only say:
"It's not Xiao Wu, this time she got into trouble, the emperor just sent someone to kill all her staff, and now she is going to punish her, aunt, you should go to the palace faster than me, save Xiao Wu Five!"

As soon as she heard that it was about the fifth princess, Wen Miao immediately relaxed and felt relieved, thinking that it was such a big deal, as long as the emperor brother was not ill, it would be fine. As for the little girl, no matter how old she was, The matter was not too serious, so he sat down again and said angrily:

"Okay, I don't think it's a big deal. That girl won't cause some trouble someday, and the emperor's brother has never been severely punished. Besides, isn't the emperor's wife also in the palace? Why are you looking for her?" I!"

Because the old lady had met the fifth princess before, she knew her affairs better. When she heard about her affairs, she also looked impatient.

"Your aunt is right. That girl is causing trouble all day long. It's time for the emperor to teach her a lesson!"

The prince was originally a man of few words, and he was speechless when he was stunned by the two elders, so he could only be anxious,
Cheng Shaoshang and Empress Xuan have a good relationship. Seeing that the prince was in such a hurry, he asked:
"Your Highness, but this time the fifth princess has caused an extraordinary disaster, and even the empress can't help it? Are you here to find the concubine mother?"

Upon hearing Cheng Shaoshang's support, the prince nodded gratefully,
"Yeah, Xiao Wu is really out of shape this time, even the concubine mother is outraged, and the queen mother is not good at talking! So I'd better trouble my aunt to go!"

None of the people present were stupid. The crown prince said just now that the emperor gave the five princesses' staff to death, but now he said that the concubine Yue was furious, and the empress was not good at talking. Maybe someone died in her stomach.

The old lady naturally looked contemptuous, Jing Haoying and Cheng Shaoshang also looked ugly, they all thought of the Queen Xuan, and now the Queen is probably going to vomit blood in anger,
Not to mention Wen Miao's complexion, after all, she is her own niece. Although she knew she was out of tune, she never expected to make such a scandal. She did such a scandal, even she was dishonored.
I could only say hello to the old lady, and hurried away together with the prince.

Jing Haoying and Cheng Shaoshang were worried that the Queen would also want to go there, but Wen Miao stopped them. The more people going now, the more uncomfortable it would be for the Queen. When they heard this was true, they didn't follow go up.

When Wen Miao and the prince left, the old lady looked contemptuous,
"This fifth princess is really a slutty girl. Fortunately, our family's Zixiu didn't marry her back then, otherwise, I don't know how to be ashamed now!"

Cheng Shaoshang didn't know about the fact that the Jing family saw the fifth princess at the beginning. Hearing this, he immediately looked at Jing Haoying, and said in a strange way:
"I didn't see it, Jing Haoying, did you have a past with the fifth princess?"

After the old lady finished speaking, she knew that she had confided, and immediately said that she ate too much just now, her stomach was uncomfortable, and she ran away.

Jing Haoying looked at the back of the old lady speechlessly, and sneered at Cheng Shaoshang:

"It's none of my business. In the past, the eldest mother and the grandmother decided to judge each other by themselves. Later, as soon as they learned about the fifth princess's virtue, they immediately broke it.
Besides, I only found out about this later. When I found out at the time, I sternly refused. As far as Xiao Wu's virtue is concerned, how could I like it?
I just like my family, Shaoshang. I fell in love with you at first sight, Shaoshang. The sea will never change! "

Cheng Shaoshang was happy when he heard the words, but his face showed distaste,

"Tch, it's no wonder I believe you, I'll settle accounts with you later!"

I also know that Jing Haoying has no interest in the fifth princess. After all, she has seen the scene of the two getting along, and there is really no friendship. Zhuan'er began to worry about the Queen Xuan,
"I don't know what's going on with your empress now, and it's not easy for us to enter the palace to check at this time! This fifth princess is really a bastard. I have never seen her be filial to my empress, but she keeps looking for trouble! I just let the emperor punish her!
Hey, Zixiu, you said that the Fifth Princess had this incident, so she can still marry into the Yue family. Her engagement with Xiao Yuehou is coming to an end, can she go back on her word at this time? "

Jing Haoying shook his head when he heard the words,
"It's absolutely impossible to go back on your word, the royal family's face will be lost,
If she could repent, she would not be furious with Concubine Yue's temperament. It was precisely because she could not repent that she hated the fifth princess even more, for embarrassing the Yue family! "

Cheng Shaoshang also nodded when he heard the words, it is such a rationale, how can the daughter of the royal family be divorced, Xiaoyuehou is not Ling Buyi, and the fifth princess is not Yuchang,

Seeing this time, the Yue family wants the dumb to eat Coptis chinensis.

Jing Haoying was not full yet, so he was interrupted by the prince, so he picked up the bowl and chopsticks again, and asked while eating:
"By the way, are you going back to your mother's house today?"

Cheng Shaoshang shook his head, she was not in that mood now,
"Looking back, the empress doesn't know what's going on. I'm a little worried. Let's talk about it when Mom comes back!"

Seeing that Cheng Shaoshang was not going today, Jing Haoying was not trying to persuade him, so he stuffed a pancake and said:
"Forget it, then it will be done in two days, but you should also think about this matter, don't take it off too much,
Today I have to go to Sancaiguan, the old grandfather, they are outside the city, they don't know the news, maybe they think we are neglecting, I have to explain a thing or two! "
