Mrs. Cheng got into the carriage and told the coachman to return to Zhuangzi immediately.

The mother and daughter sat upright in the carriage and did not speak. When the carriage kicked out of Taowu Town, Cheng Qiaoxian couldn't help laughing: "Mother, my daughter acted well just now, right?"

Mrs. Cheng patted her daughter's delicate face lightly, only to feel that her daughter's flower-like age is eye-catching. Then he raised the curtain and looked out of the carriage vigilantly, and raised his index finger to make a "shhhhhh

Cheng Qiao understood, lowered her voice and whispered in her mother's ear: "Mother, don't you have to enter the palace like this?"

"Hmm. That Huang Gonggong is estimated to be entangled by that Miss Zhang at the moment, if you don't solve that girl's matter first, how can your mother lightly agree to let you go to the palace?" Mrs. Cheng chuckled unkindly.

"Anyway, you don't have to enter the palace!" Cheng Qiao felt that his request was not too much.

"You really don't mean anything to Zhu Xing?" Seeing her daughter's heartless look, Mrs. Cheng couldn't help but ask her.

Cheng Qiao replied without thinking: "He has the world, and he still wants the blessings of all people." How can there be such a perfect thing in the world, and it is very rare to be perfect! Anyway, my daughter will never go to the palace to join in the fun. ”

It's a pity that the emperor's deep friendship. Mrs. Cheng regretted in her heart, if he was not the emperor, he would be a good match with his character and appearance...... Alas, just like Qiao'er said that there is no perfect thing in this world, Mrs. Cheng shook her head and excluded Zhu Xing from the selection of her son-in-law.

Speaking of which, Cheng Qiao was also frightened by the murderous and torn palace fighting dramas in modern times, and instinctively rejected the palace. In fact, the emperor's selection of concubines is not so simple, not to mention that the concubine selection system of this dynasty is not the same as that of the previous dynasty.

However, Zhu Xing, the emperor, already had a candidate in his heart, and the matter of this audition was blocked back by the emperor's sentence that he did not have to work for the people and lose money, but the Empress Dowager Zhang was bent on promoting her distant niece, and the emperor wanted to start first, so he wrote a decree and sent it to the cabinet. In view of the fact that Zhu Xing had so many emperors before him who were not very reliable on the issue of love, the cabinet also attached great importance to the identity survey of the emperor's sweetheart.

This investigation really came out, the girl's father actually had something to do with the rebellious King Ning, and he had been executed. The girl's reputation is not at first glance, according to rumors, the woman was divorced because of her ugly appearance, and she quickly hooked up with a little white face of unknown origin to commit adultery...... Anyway, all kinds of black history have been picked up

The cabinet elders stared at the information sent back by Jin Yiwei, all with strange expressions on their faces, and they couldn't understand why this newly enthroned young emperor was so fond of an ugly girl.

Yang Ge, the first assistant of the cabinet, is a veteran of the three dynasties, and he has seen a lot of things, and he has experienced even strange things. stroked the white beard on his chin, and said unhurriedly: "Do you still remember the Wan Guifei back then?"

Several other pavilion elders suddenly realized that it was when Empress Dowager Zhang and her husband's father were emperors, and this wonderful emperor didn't know if he lacked maternal love since he was a child, and he was not favored at home with three thousand stunning harems, so he fell in love with the palace maid Wan, who was sixteen years older than him, and he loved him so much that he didn't even want his own son. Empress Dowager Zhang's husband, as a prince, lived a worse childhood than ordinary people's families, and his life was in danger at all times. The prince who turned over finally became the master of the house and took a bad breath, but the shadow of his childhood still had a profound impact on his life, and he was extremely disgusted with the harem fighting, so his wife Queen Zhang became the only master of the harem, and gave birth to a Dumiao prince, but he was spoiled, all kinds of playful, what a leopard room, General Wuwei and the like, there were a few elders.

The cabinet scholars also learned a profound lesson from the previous unreliable emperor, and they were all kinds of harsh to the new emperor, that is, Zhu Xing, and pursued the strategy of using a heavy hammer to resound the duck, which was inevitably a bit overkill, but Zhu Xing was an extremely smart person, assertive and maverick, so he would naturally often compete with the cabinet and have constant friction.

"This ...... If such a woman enters the palace, I'm afraid she won't become the second of Wan Guifei again, right?" a colleague worried.

Yang Ge couldn't see the thoughts of several colleagues, so he only said that he was going back to his hometown to visit relatives in the near future, so it would be better to stop by and explore.

The others immediately bowed: "Then it will bother Yang Shoufu." ”

As soon as the cabinet here discussed a countermeasure, and couldn't wait for the cabinet's reply, the emperor directly asked the celebrant to use the seal and handed the edict to Huang Jin.

……

Sure enough, as Mrs. Cheng expected, Huang Jin was entangled by Miss Zhang, and she didn't have time to urge Cheng Qiao to set off for the capital with him. Without Huang Gonggong dangling in front of him, Cheng Qiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he could sleep peacefully at night.

However, a few days after this comfortable good day, another uninvited guest came to the door.

This person is not small, and even the county magistrate can only follow and smile. The white-bearded old man looked kind, but his eyes were deep and experienced in the world, I don't know if it was her illusion, the other party's eyes looking at her were full of inquiry and doubt.

After being introduced, Cheng Qiao learned that the other party was actually Yang Gelao, the first assistant of the cabinet, and he came from the capital under the guise of visiting relatives just to see her. Of course, she wouldn't narcissistically think that she had such a great charm, but it was probably because Zhu Xing wanted to make her the queen.

The old man was obviously not a good person, and the first question he asked her about the dead ghost's father.

Cheng Qiao didn't bother to play Tai Chi with him, he just wanted to send the other party away quickly, so he replied bluntly: "My father was rich back then, and then he stopped his wife and remarried, and he has already divorced from his mother. Cheng Qiao is the Cheng family, so naturally he has nothing to do with him. ”

The old man stroked his beard, and only after a while did he hold back a sentence: "Sharp teeth." ”

Then the next question came again, about her dismissal.

Cheng Qiao sneered and asked rhetorically: "The son of the Liu family concluded that I was an ugly-looking person based on rumors alone, how could such a person be my Cheng family's good son-in-law?"

The old man asked again: "Later, Liu Gongzi knew that he could change his mistakes and was willing to marry you, why shouldn't you, but ...... Instead, be cautious about socializing with other men?"

Cheng Qiaoxing's eyes were round, "His Liu family can retreat if he wants to, and he will remarry if he wants to remarry, and where will he put the face of my Cheng family? As for the man who has a close relationship with me, I guess the elder knows who it is in his heart, so I don't need to name him, right?"

Yang Gelao's questions were blocked back by Cheng Qiao in a few words, and he complained in his heart that Jinyiwei was not doing things well, saying that the girl was ugly, although she was not a country and a city, she was also a beautiful little jasper, what did she say about the man who hooked up with him, who is not the emperor today, if not, how would the emperor miss her.

Seeing that Cheng Qiao couldn't please him, Yang Ge Lao didn't waste any more time, and came violently and returned in disappointment.

Cheng Qiao originally thought that it would be over if he sent a pavilion elder, but within a few days, the Liu family had the confidence somewhere, and touched the door of the Cheng family again, saying that the previous divorce did not count, and he hoped to remarry the Cheng family, and the current first assistant Lord Yang gave them a match.

This kind of thing naturally doesn't need Cheng Qiao to come forward in person, it is all sent by Mrs. Cheng, but this is endless, and I don't know when it will end. Cheng Qiao was bored.

I miss He Yan so much! I really want to go back to modern times! Cheng Qiaoxin thought about it, and before she knew it, she walked to the edge of the waterhole, her fingers touched the surface of the water, and the scene she was expecting still did not appear, and she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in her heart.

I didn't care about the image, so I sat on the stone by the waterhole, staring at the water in a daze.

Thinking about it, I remembered that I met the Taoist priest who claimed to be the royal gate Qin Yun on the hillside, and forced himself into a piece of black jade, saying that it was a fairy treasure ink jade, and he thought he had seen a ghost, so he threw away the black jade, and then fell into this pool of water. Thinking that he can wear it around, it is estimated that it has nothing to do with this ink jade, if he can find that piece of ink jade, is there a way to go back?

The water in the pool is very clear, and it seems that the bottom of the pool can be seen at a glance, but Cheng Qiao knows that this is just an illusion caused by light to the eyes. She hesitated for a moment, thinking of He Yan, who was still lying in the hospital and had not yet survived the crisis, she turned her heart sideways, gritted her teeth and decided to give it a try.

Taking off the gown and skirt on his body, Cheng Qiao took a deep breath and jumped into the pool with a pop, splashing a huge splash. She held her breath and dived to the bottom of the pool. This pool of water is indeed deeper than what she sees with the naked eye and what she imagined in her heart. At first, you could faintly see something underwater, but the further down it got darker and darker, to the point where you couldn't see your fingers.

Cheng Qiao's eyes were dark, she stretched out her hand and touched the bottom of the pool indiscriminately, bubbles began to bubble up from her mouth, she knew that she was afraid that she would not be able to support it for long, so she had to choose to give up. Reluctantly, she swam up, and as soon as her head came out of the water, she took a big breath of fresh air. Floating on the surface of the water to rest for a while, she wiped the water droplets from her face, took a deep breath again, turned over and sank into the water again, this time she changed direction and slowly sank until the bottom of the pool.

Her fingers touched dirt, weeds, gravel, etc., but she didn't find what she was looking for, and she had to surface again. After trying this several times, the hard work paid off, and she finally touched a cold and smooth thing under the water, which looked like jade but not jade.

Is it that piece of black jade? Cheng Qiao muttered to herself, and when she was about to swim to the surface of the water, the thing in her hand emitted a faint white light, and the light became bigger and bigger, forming a circle of light that wrapped her whole person.

What a familiar feeling! Cheng Qiao knew that he would definitely be able to return to modern times this time.
