On the school field of the Jin'an County Palace, the two of them have walked several laps one after the other.

Su Xin had already gone to work on the affairs of the house, and the remaining Banqin couldn't walk anymore, so she simply waited with the other maids.

The king of Jin'an, who dragged Cheng Jianniang out of the house, stopped talking when he began to walk along the school field.

The two walked slowly and silently, strange but comfortable.

"Do you think the Chen family looks ridiculous like this?" Cheng Jianniang said suddenly.

King Jin'an was stunned and looked back at her.

I've been thinking about this for so long.

"How can it be ridiculous?" He said.

Marry a daughter to a fool....

"It should be pitiful." He said with a smile.

Poor thing.

Cheng Jianniang was silent.

Being forced into this situation, having to head on, knowing that he was framed, but he had to swallow it raw, is indeed very pitiful.

Her pace was fast for a moment.

But it can't be said to be pitiful.

The pace slowed down again.

"It's not that there is no way out, but that he doesn't want to go, which can only be said that he is seeking benevolence." Cheng Jianniang said slowly.

The King of Jin'an County also slowed down.

"Then, he is respectable." He said.

Respectable?

Cheng Jianniang stopped.

It is respectable to have no hesitation for the sake of the morality in your heart, but what if the way is wrong?

"What's wrong with being loyal to the king?" King Jin An asked, his tone soft, as if he was afraid of frightening her.

Although she seemed as calm and indifferent as ever in the past two days, it could be seen from the hand that was always unconsciously clenched that this woman was very nervous at this moment.

That's why he didn't want her to be left alone. Talk to her. I'm going to pull her out for a walk. He didn't want to see her sitting alone and silently.

She's not alone now, she has him.

There is nothing wrong with being loyal to the king.

Cheng Jianniang was silent again, raising her feet and stepping.

Just like the way of heaven that their Cheng family believes, it's right.

At the end of the Daqing Dynasty, there were four orthodox branches that succeeded to the throne, and among them, the most appropriate and most powerful in the eyes of the world were King Shun and King Ning, but the Cheng family chose Yang Guogong, who did not have the slightest royal blood, and had to support the new lord with the reputation of seeking the dynasty to usurp the throne.

Because that is the monarch chosen by the Heavenly Dao, that is the monarch recognized by the Cheng family.

Carrying infamy. After ten years of war planning, the new emperor finally ascended the throne in accordance with the heavens, but in exchange for the disaster of extinction.

Respectable? Wretched? Amusing?

……………………………………………

Old Lady Chen's courtyard fell silent again.

There was a sound of footsteps, and Chen Shao raised his head and saw that it was Old Lady Chen who turned back into the house.

"Father." Chen Shao shouted, leaning over again with a bit of grief, but the footsteps he heard came back.

"Madame and Danniang have packed up, right?"

Old Lady Chen's voice sounded in his ears.

Chen Shao's body trembled, and the old servant on the side responded.

"Then get in the car and go." Old lady Chen said, "It's dark and you can still rush to the post station to settle down." ”

"Father!" Chen Shao raised his head and choked up.

When I looked up, I saw Old Lady Chen holding a sword in her hand.

Only then did he raise his head, and Old Lady Chen's hand was raised.

With a clang, the sword was thrown in front of him.

"Since loyalty and filial piety can't be both." Old Lady Chen smiled slightly. "Then you should be loyal and filial, and it can be regarded as seeking benevolence. You have kept the name of the loyal king, and the infamy of forcing your son to die belongs to me. ”

Chen Shao was stunned, but Old Lady Chen stopped looking at him, and walked down the steps with his feet up.

“…… You count the time and give us time to leave and return. ”

Old Lady Chen walked past Chen Shao and said shocking words, but her tone was as relaxed as the weather today.

"Old lady!" The old servant couldn't help but kneel.

Chen Shao shouted, his father leaned over and kowtowed to the ground, whimpering.

Old lady Chen's footsteps did not stop.

"If you want to stay, stay, whoever wants to stay, stay." He said slowly.

Chen Shao choked up and reached out to grab the long sword.

"Sir!" The old servant knelt down and stopped and shouted.

"I have four sons, one died and three more, it doesn't hurt that three sons are mediocre, I still have grandchildren..."

Old Lady Chen's words continued to come slowly.

"The grandchildren are not good, there are great-grandchildren, one generation is not successful, there are two generations, as long as they are innocent, they can always be promoted to the prime minister again."

Chen Shao held his sword to hide his face and whimpered.

"Grandfather!"

There was a crisp sound coming from outside.

The three people in the courtyard were all stunned, looking at Chen Danniang who ran in from outside the courtyard gate.

Chen Danniang had already put on her suit, and her face was crimson because she was in a hurry.

"Danniang, why did you come here?" Old Lady Chen said, stretching out her hand, "Come, follow Grandpa." ”

Chen Danniang did not stretch out her hand, but knelt down.

"Grandfather, I want to stay." She prostrated and said.

Chen Shao, who was originally turning his head to hide his face because Danniang came in, couldn't bear to look at it, turned around when he heard this, and his expression was complicated.

"Dan Niang," he muttered.

Chen Danniang raised her head and smiled at Old Lady Chen.

"Grandfather, I'll stay." She said.

Old lady Chen looked sad.

"Danniang, do you know what will happen if you stay?" He asked.

Chen Danniang nodded.

"Grandpa, I know, they are hiding it from me, but I heard it all." She said, "You want me to marry the crown prince." ”

Without waiting for Old Lady Chen to speak, Chen Danniang stretched out her hand and grabbed Old Lady Chen's sleeve.

"Grandpa, I want to marry the crown prince." She said, blinking with big eyes, "I like the prince very much." ”

Hearing this, Chen Shao hid his face again.

Old lady Chen shook her head and held Danniang's hand.

"Danniang, you don't like the prince, you don't need to use words to coax grandpa." He said, "Come, be obedient, go with grandpa, let's talk as we go." ”

"No, no, Grandpa. I really like the Prince. The prince is very good. It's not scary, if you laugh with him, he will smile at you. Chen Danniang said loudly.

Old lady Chen didn't speak, just pulled her.

"Come on, how did you look at Danniang." He shouted again to the servants who were anxious and had come with him.

The servants were about to come over and hug Danniang, but Chen Danniang broke away from the old lady Chen and leaned over and kowtowed.

"Grandfather." She shouted, "Isn't grandfather the one who loves Danniang the most?" Is my grandfather going to watch Danniang live a lifetime with the crime of forcing her father to death? Grandfather, can he bear to let Danniang do this? ”

Old Lady Chen's body stiffened.

"Grandfather, I am willing to marry the crown prince." Chen Danniang continued. Raised his head and looked at Old Lady Chen, "I'm really willing, not wronged." ”

Looking at the pair of big eyes in front of him that were as bright as sweet springs, Old Lady Chen's face was sad and moved her lips.

"Danniang, you don't understand." He said, "You don't understand how easy it is to say this, but how difficult the days will be in the future." ”

Chen Danniang nodded.

"Grandpa, I don't understand, but I don't want to regret it." She said.

Old Lady Chen shook her head and reached out to touch Chen Danniang's head.

"Silly boy. You'll regret it later. He choked up.

"Grandpa, whether you will regret it in the future is a matter for the future." Chen Danniang said seriously. "I just want to do it now without regrets."

At this she smiled again and nodded.

"Yes, grandpa, I do it now and don't regret it."

Old lady Chen raised his hand to hide his face, and Chen Shao on the side had already choked up.

Mrs. Chen, who was outside the courtyard gate, shook her body and fell to the ground softly, and couldn't help but hide her face and cry.

…………………………………….

The lights in the room were lit, and Banqin hurriedly withdrew with the maids.

"That's it?" King Jin'an asked.

Gonggong Jing nodded yes.

"Lord Chen entered the palace in the afternoon, but he didn't stay long, and he came out soon." He said.

The eyes of the king of Jin'an couldn't help but glance at Cheng Jianniang.

Cheng Jianniang sat under the lamp on the side reading a book, and didn't seem to hear their words.

"But there's no other news." Gonggong Jing said in a low voice.

King Jin'an nodded.

"After all, Lord Chen resisted the decree first, and it is impossible to turn around and agree." He said, and sighed softly, "And Lord Chen has made such a big concession, the Queen Mother will definitely give face." ”

Gong Jing responded yes.

"But it won't take long, it's only a matter of two or three days." He said.

The king of Jin'an lowered his eyes under the lamp, holding the tea bowl and not speaking.

"Anyway, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is getting married." Gonggong Jing couldn't help but say, "The daughter of the Chen family is always better than others......"

The king of Jin'an put down the tea bowl.

"Go down, I'm going to rest." He said.

Gong Jing's response was to retreat.

The room fell silent again.

"Go to bed early." The king of Jin'an turned his head to look at Cheng Jianniang and said, "Don't read at night, your eyes hurt carefully." ”

Cheng Jianniang didn't speak, so the king of Jin'an walked over and pushed her arm with a smile.

"Don't look at it, you can wash my hair for me." He said.

"I'm not going to wash people's hair." Cheng Jianniang said.

"Then I'll wash you." The king of Jin'an said with a smile.

Listening to the sound of water in the clean room, Banqin outside couldn't help but look over.

"....your hair grows so nice......"

There was also the voice of the king of Jin'an County inside.

“… Is the water cold? Do you want to add more? ”

"Your Highness really knows how to wash people's hair." Su Xin said in a low voice with a smile.

Banqin thought of the sound of the copper basin overturning inside just now, lowered her head and smiled, before she was about to speak, and saw the king of Jin'an coming out from the inside.

"Serve the lady and wash up." He said.

Banqin hurriedly responded and went in.

After the king of Jin'an County came out after washing, Cheng Jianniang was already lying on the bed, and the maids and maids in the room also retreated, and he casually picked up a glass of water poured on the side and took a sip.

"Do you still drink water?" He asked.

Cheng Jianniang shook her head.

The king of Jin'an put down the water cup, turned off the light, and after learning the sound of Suosuo, he crossed the Cheng Jiao Niang lying in the bed.

"That's exactly what you said." He reached out and bumped into the person next to him.

"Which one?" There was a voice in my ears.

The king of Jin'an turned around and lay on his side, looking at the people in the tent by the moonlight.

"It's good to sleep in one bed." He laughed.

Cheng Jianniang smiled.

"Fang Bocong." She said.

The king of Jin'an sighed.

"I'm fine." Cheng Jianniang said, "Lord Chen will agree, I already know about this matter." ”

It was expected.

Thank you for worrying about me like that.

She understands everything. Good for her, bad for her. She understands it all.

The king of Jin'an County sighed softly in his heart.

"But. Even if you anticipate it, you will still be sad. He said, couldn't help but reach out and stroke the long hair that was spreading out on the pillow, and hurriedly withdrew his hand.

"Me?" Cheng Jianniang said, turning her head to look at him.

A pair of eyes sparkled in the night.

"I'm not sad." Cheng Jianniang said, "This is not my business, Zifei knows the joy of fish, how can I be sad about other people's affairs." ”

King Jin'an smiled.

"Yes. It's me who thinks too much. He said, and sighed lightly, "Danniang is a good child, but when this kind of thing happens, she will be sad." ”

Cheng Jianniang shook her head on the pillow.

"No, she's not sad." She said.

The King of Jin'an stood up and looked at her.

"Oh?" He said, smiling, "Zifei knows the joy of fishing?" ”

"Because I'm a fish too." Cheng Jianniang said.

…………………………………………….

It was dark, and as soon as the gate was opened, and the guards were a little sleepy-eyed and ready to sweep, a carriage drove out of the gate.

Who's so early? The guards looked over with some curiosity.

It's not like a poor person who is struggling to survive.

The sound of horses' hooves came from the city, and the gatekeepers looked over. Seeing that it was a middle-aged man.

"Chen Xianggong!" Some guards recognized it at a glance and were surprised.

Before he could give a salute, Chen Shao's horse had already passed through the city gate.

"Father!"

The horse stopped in front of the car, Chen Shao shouted in a hoarse voice, his face was white, his eyes were red, he turned over and dismounted and knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"You don't have to stop me." Mrs. Chen lifted the curtain and said, "I am in charge of your children, and my children are in charge of me, Chen Shao, from now on, I will not have your son, if you are really loyal and filial, then don't be entangled." ”

Chen Shao whimpered and kowtowed to his father.

"What? Are you really going to force me to obey your righteousness? Old Lady Chen asked with a smile, "Is it my fault that I want to force me not to forgive you and not be considerate of you?" ”

"Don't dare!" Chen Shao said, raising his head and his forehead was already bruised.

"If you don't dare." Old Lady Chen said, "Then you get out of the way." ”

Chen Shao kowtowed again, and the old servant who was driving the car couldn't stand it anymore.

"Master, that's it, let the old lady go." He whispered.

Let......

Chen Shao's body was shocked, he leaned over deeply, and knelt down two steps to the side of the road to get out of the way.

The carriage staggered forward, and the old lady Chen, who lowered the curtain, did not look at Chen Shao again.

The carriage was getting farther and farther away, and there were more and more people on the road, but Chen Shao, who was kneeling on the side of the road, never got up, allowing passers-by to point in surprise.

Looking at a black spot in Chen Shao's painting behind him, the old servant sighed and raised his head to look at the sky.

The sky in early autumn is not as high as in the past, and it is a little gloomy.

"I'm afraid it's going to rain." He muttered.

Old lady Chen lifted the curtain and looked at the sky, looking a little stunned.

"Well, it's a cotton wool cloud that is going to rain." He said, as if with a bit of reminiscence, "You still remember, when we first met Cheng Niangzi, it was like this." ”

The old servant was stunned, remembering that six years ago, the memory had been blurred.

"If I hadn't met her, I would have been dead for years." Old Lady Chen smiled, and paused again when she said this, "If I had listened to her at that time, maybe I wouldn't have entered Beijing." ”

If you don't go to Beijing, you probably won't have today's events.

The old servant looked sad.

"Old lady." He said.

Old Lady Chen sighed.

"Although she cured my illness, I still have to go back to the countryside, so I can cure the disease but not my life." He muttered, "It's all your own life, and you can't blame anyone else." ”

Chen Shao knelt down to send Mrs. Chen out of Beijing before it spread, and three days later, the edict canonizing the nineteen ladies of the Chen family as the crown princess was announced to the world.

When she heard the news, Cheng Jiaoniang was shooting arrows at the school grounds, and the king of Jin'an County personally came to sue her.

With a buzzing sound, the arrow sank into the red heart of the grass target, and the arrow feathers trembled slightly in the sunlight.

"Although it is inconvenient for us to go out, you should go to the Chen family." King Jin'an said.

Said with a wry smile.

"Chen Xianggong doesn't care about more impeachment and ridicule because of our visit."

Cheng Jianniang lowered the bow and arrow in her hand, and before she could speak, Su Xin hurriedly came from a distance.

"Madam, ma'am, Steward Cao is here." She shouted happily.

Steward Cao?

Cheng Jianniang looked over.

Banqin, who heard the news, was also a little happy, she finally came, why is it so slow, she should have arrived two days before the day.

Su Xin stood in front of him with a happy face.

"Also, Cheng Ping also came along." She said.

Cheng Ping?

Before the king of Jin'an County could react to this name, he saw Cheng Jianniang throw down the bow and arrow in his hand, and the person walked out quickly.

Throw down the bow and arrows! Hurry!

He had never seen her walk by in such a gaffe.

But the next moment, the scene that made him even more out of shape appeared, the woman who was originally walking quickly simply ran, and the corners of the smock with large sleeves and skirts flew in the morning light.

Who's this!

The King of Jin'an was stunned.

Who's this! (To be continued......)
