Chapter 9 He is really my biological father

Cuizhu looked at Cheng Jin who was dressed up very pretty in the mirror and couldn't help but laugh.

"My empress was born with a beautiful face and a beautiful country, and now she looks even more beautiful when she dresses up."

Cheng Jin looked at himself in the mirror, and it was indeed what Cuizhu said.

The book describes Concubine Rong's appearance more than once.

Although she was a cannon fodder, she was the most beautiful cannon fodder. Even after her death, she was said to be a demon concubine who brought disaster to the country and the people.

The original owner was beautiful. Unlike Qu Wanxin's quirky and playful beauty, Cheng Jin's beauty was aggressive and tense, and her pampering radiated from the inside out.

She was the only daughter in the family, and she was raised in the palm of her hand. Even if she entered the palace and became an unpopular concubine, her brother and father who were far away from the palace had to take care of her.

Otherwise, the original owner would not have been able to fight to the end, and would have died in the palace and been thrown into a mass grave.

In fact, it was very close. The original owner's father entered the palace and died in front of Chu Chengye. In addition to being an escort, he actually wanted to beg Chu Chengye to let him take Cheng Jin home from the cold palace.

He really couldn't bear the thought of his daughter living in a place like the cold palace. He was willing to give up everything and take the whole family to retire and return home, but he didn't want to die in front of Chu Chengye without seeing Cheng Jin.

Cuizhu saw Cheng Jin in a daze and wanted to say something to lighten the atmosphere.

"My dear, you don't know. I was really angry when I saw Hui Guiren's look this morning, but I didn't expect that the emperor would take a breath for us."

[On the surface, it seems to help us breathe out, but in fact it makes us unable to breathe out in the future. 】

"The emperor asked the empress to serve in front of the emperor. This is the only thing in the harem. This blessing is also unique. Why is the empress unhappy?"

Cheng Jin raised his head and glanced at Cuizhu, "Do you want this blessing for you?"

Cuizhu panicked and said, "I definitely don't have this intention."

"I know you didn't, and neither did I."

Cuizhu: "?"

Why is Cheng Jin not happy about being favored by the harem?

Although Cheng Jin absolutely didn't want to go, it didn't take long before Chu Chengye sent someone to urge him.

After Cheng Jin went to Chu Chengye's imperial study room, he stood next to Chu Chengye and meticulously helped Chu Chengye polish his ink.

That was something I didn’t dare to look at casually.

The more you know, the sooner you will die.

Chu Chengye suddenly threw the book in his hand on the table.

"These freeloaders are reporting useless things every day. I have already told them that I don't eat bananas."

Cheng Jin glanced at it. Five identical booklets were placed together, all asking whether Chu Chengye liked bananas.

Cheng Jin lowered his head and wanted to smile, but noticed Chu Chengye's cold gaze.

Cheng Jin suppressed a smile: "Your Majesty, please calm down."

Just as Chu Chengye was about to have a seizure, Wei An came in and said it was Tai Fu Cheng who was asking to see him.

Chu Chengye had a headache when he thought about Cheng Yishou having to press against the pillar to force him to go to court in the morning. Just when he was about to refuse, he thought about what he heard from Cheng Jin before and said that Cheng Yishou died in front of the emperor.

He nodded, "Please come in, Master Cheng."

Cheng Jin was a little confused, why was his father here?

As soon as Cheng Yishou entered the palace and only asked An to salute, he noticed the woman standing next to Chu Chengye.

He immediately knelt down and said righteously to Chu Chengye: "Your Majesty, how can a concubine from the harem accompany me to criticize the child? This is inappropriate."

Chu Chengye rubbed his eyebrows and said, "She can."

"No matter who it is, it's not allowed. These are all political affairs of the previous dynasty. Concubines in the harem cannot participate in politics. This has been the case since ancient times. There are many tragedies in the history books caused by emperors who were obsessed with beauty and allowed women to participate in politics. Your Majesty, with Shi Mingjian, don’t make the same mistakes again!”

"Mr. Cheng, do you have to go against me?" Cheng Yishou bowed and saluted, and said in a clear tone, "Your Majesty, my loyalty to the Emperor can be learned from heaven and earth. If the Emperor does not believe me, I am willing to die to prove my will."

"So I beg your Majesty to ask this empress to avoid you."

Cheng Jin: "..."

[Dad, why don’t you raise your head and look at me? 】

Cheng Yishou heard his daughter's voice and looked up. Sure enough, it was Cheng Jin, but she didn't open her mouth.

Maybe I heard it wrong.

Without thinking any more, Cheng Jin stood up and saluted Cheng Yishou, "Best well, father."

Cheng Yishou nodded sternly, "Jin'er, I'm going to discuss some political matters with the emperor. You should step aside for a moment. Women in the harem cannot listen to politics."

Cheng Jin sighed.

【He is really my biological father. 】

[If I guess correctly, Mr. Gao is going to be impeached again. 】

Cheng Yishou heard Cheng Jin's voice again, but Cheng Jin in front of him did not say a word. Although he was shocked, he did not dare to show it.

I'm afraid if we ask now, his father and daughter will be dragged out and executed as monsters.

But we can’t involve Cheng Jin.

However, he and Cheng Jin had not seen each other for many days and had no contact. How could Jin'er know that he was talking to the emperor about Master Gao?

Cheng Yishou collected the memorial in his hand.

Chu Chengye waved his hand, "It doesn't matter. Since it's Taifu Cheng here to talk about things, we are a family. Concubine Rong has nothing to do here. Let's talk about what it is."

"What I want to say concerns Master Gao."

Cheng Yishou replied somewhat absentmindedly.

Chu Chengye glanced at Cheng Jin invisiblely.

Sure enough, Cheng Jin knew everything that happened.

Chu Chengye nodded and motioned for Cheng Yishou to continue.

"Master Gao was disrespectful to the Emperor in the court, and his words were also vulgar..."

Chu Chengye took a deep breath after listening to Cheng Yishou's words, frowned and couldn't listen anymore.

Although this Cheng Yishou was loyal to him, this was all he said every day.

Cheng Jin felt a little dizzy.

[Come again, come again, dad, if you report this today and impeach that tomorrow, it will be good if our family can survive until the end. If we anger this tyrant, we will go to the West together. 】

[Although what Mr. Gao did was indeed inappropriate, it is not important. What is important is the flooding in the rivers and ponds you want to talk about. 】

[It was because you insisted on saying that this tall man was disrespectful to the emperor first that Chu Chengye couldn't listen to the rest of what you said, so he sent other people to the rivers and ponds to rectify the floods in the rivers and ponds. The people in the rivers and ponds were miserable. Not a word reached Chu Chengye's ears. 】

[On the contrary, that person used this excuse to drive a wedge between you and Chu Chengye. The matter of dismissal and demotion was a minor matter, but the fact that you were suspected of being a member of the Fifth Prince's party in plotting against the Fifth Prince was a major one. The injustice was finally settled after his death. 】

Cheng Yishou was shocked. He really didn't expect that the fifth prince, who had always been kind and didn't care about Chao Zheng and only thought about having fun, would rebel.

He hid it really deep.

Cheng Yishou thought about it and realized that he seemed to have put the cart before the horse. The floods in the rivers and ponds were the big deal.

But he had just said half of the things related to Mr. Gao, so was Chu Chengye already unhappy?
Cheng Yishou looked up and saw that Chu Chengye was thinking about something, but there was no anger or impatience on his face.

Cheng Yishou bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I do have something important to report."
