Chapter Seventy-Three: The Emperor's Problem
Originally, the emperor wanted to point out the princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty to the king of Chenjun, promote him to the king of Chen, and then let him welcome Luo Wanxi and Princess Wei into the door together, which can be regarded as a great reward for him, and it is not a broken promise, but today I heard Chen'er say that he went to the palace of the Northern Wei Dynasty during the period of disappearance, so he must not be allowed to marry Princess Wei, after all, he will not be able to make him the prince in the future, and it will be just in the past, if he gets the power of the Northern Wei Dynasty again, I am afraid that no one will be able to compete with him in the future. It seems that Princess Wei can only be pointed out to the fifth child, but if this Shen Fangning does not marry into the royal family, it is really a pity, for the fifth child, and he can't let Chen'er and the Luo family girl get married, thinking about it, I am still bored in my heart, and I suddenly heard the eunuch come to report, saying that Cheng Guifei came to send soup to the emperor.

I saw Cheng Guifei personally walking in with a delicate food box, and said, "The concubine asks the emperor for peace." ”
The emperor couldn't help but feel good when he saw the dignified and beautiful Cheng Guifei, the power of the Cheng family in the court was not weaker than the queen's maiden family, but he was supporting the emperor to ascend the throne, and the situation in the court and China was stable and resolutely retreated, how could he not get the emperor's favor, and Cheng Guifei had never been pampered and proud for so many years, and raised the three princes very well, so the emperor respected her a little more than the queen, and said busily: "No need to be polite, come and sit down, why are you dressed so thinly." ”
Cheng Guifei smiled coquettishly and said, "I'm afraid that the soup will be cold, so I was in a hurry to send it to Your Majesty, but I forgot to put on a cloak." As he spoke, he opened the lunch box, took out the soup that was still steaming inside, and sent it to the emperor, the emperor took the soup but did not let go of Cheng Guifei's hand, took a sip of the soup, nodded and said: "The soup is still hot, but you see that your hands are cold", and then reprimanded the palace maid beside Cheng Guifei and said: "You mother didn't think about it, why don't you want to put a cloak on her." The emperor's rebuke frightened the little palace maid and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to ask for guilt, Cheng Guifei said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you see what you scared them, it was the concubines themselves who came out in a hurry, don't talk about them, okay, you all get up, go outside and wait for me." Seeing that the emperor was no longer speechless, the little palace maid hurriedly withdrew from the inner hall.
The emperor said: "You, you are too good-hearted. ”
Cheng Guifei smiled as if she wanted to change the topic, and said, "Your Majesty hasn't said whether the concubine's soup is good or not." ”
The emperor said: "Of course the soup you boiled is delicious, and it is still the same as the taste you boiled in the palace back then, that is, your temperament, no matter how high or low your identity is, it has not changed." Thinking about the third prince, he asked again: "How has Ning'er been in the past two days?" ”
Cheng Guifei sighed and said: "Ning'er is nothing, I will be sad for a few days, the water and rice have not been eaten for the first two days, and the concubine will inevitably be sentimental when she goes to see it, and she said a few words to him, but it's a pity that the Chu family, what a gentle and polite child, when Mrs. Chu was in the court, he personally made the matchmaker, but it's a pity that ......" Speaking of this, Cheng Guifei choked up and couldn't go on, and drew two lines of tears on her delicate face, the emperor couldn't help but feel distressed when she looked at it, and hurriedly comforted: "Lan'er, don't cry, as soon as I see you crying, My heart is troubled. Cheng Guifei hurriedly wiped away the tears on her face, and said, "It's the concubine who is rude." ”
The emperor waved and said: "I just feel sorry for you, and I feel sorry for Ning'er, wait a few days, the things in his palace are all dealt with, you call him to your palace, arrange for the imperial chef to cook a few more dishes that Ning'er likes to eat, and then I will also go over, make up for Ning'er, his concubine passed away, but the days still have to go on after all, not to mention that he is still the third prince, and it is not good to have no concubine in the palace, you also look for him to find a candidate for the concubine during this time, and when you see it, tell me." ”
Cheng Guifei wiped her tears and nodded yes, and chatted with the emperor for a while, and Cheng Guifei withdrew from the Heart Cultivation Palace.
After chatting with her for a while, the emperor's thinking was much straightened out, so he said to the eunuch: "Go, invite the Marquis of Wenyu to me." The little eunuch took the order and left, the emperor leaned on the soft couch and closed his eyes to recuperate, just now I heard Cheng Guifei mention her teacher, and I couldn't help but think of some past events.
The little eunuch came to invite Marquis Wenyu, and the Hou Ye said in his heart, daughter, you still have to come, the path you choose yourself, and being a father can't help you, so let's leave Beijing as soon as possible.
Marquis Wen Yu saw that the emperor was just about to bow down, and the emperor hurriedly said: "Jinfeng doesn't need to be polite, come and sit, you have been in the capital for so long, and I haven't bothered to catch up with you." Marquis Wen Yu walked over and sat down at the emperor's head according to the emperor's instructions, and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, still thinking about the minister, otherwise the minister would have come to say goodbye to Your Majesty." ”
The emperor said, "Oh, you still want to go? ”
Marquis Wen Yu said with a smile: "The minister is used to living in the countryside, and there are still families in his hometown, this time I entered Beijing, I saw His Majesty and the eldest sister-in-law, and the little girl was also out of the cabinet, and the minister was also a matter of heart, and the minister was not young, and I am afraid that he will not come back in the future." ”
When the eldest princess married into the Chen family, the emperor grew up in the Chen Mansion, and Chen Jinfeng, who was the same age, was also a close friend back then. ”
Marquis Wen Yu sighed and said: "Shengshang, E'er's child has been spoiled by the minister and her mother, especially for so many years, growing up in the countryside, so her temperament is not as good as the young ladies who grew up in the capital. ”
Wen Yuhou's words were sincere, and the emperor also knew that it was rare for Wen Yuhou, who knew how to advance and retreat, to say such a thing, and he felt sorry for the parents of the world, so he said: "Jinfeng, but please rest assured, Jiao'e has grown up since I was a child, and I have regarded her as my own daughter in my heart." Marquis Wen Yu nodded and said, "The minister has thanked the saint here." ”
The emperor remembered the intention of inviting Marquis Wenyu, thought about it, and said, "I still have something to discuss when I invite Jinfeng to come today. ”
Wen Yuhou knew it in his heart, but said with a smile: "Holy Lord, please speak." ”
"Jin Feng also knows about the Northern Wei Dynasty's peace talks, right?" Because Marquis Wenyu did not go to the early dynasty, the emperor first mentioned the matter of the Northern Wei Dynasty peace talks.
Marquis Wen Yu nodded and said, "I heard Chen Zhuo mention two sentences. ”
The emperor continued: "Do you know that Jinfeng is accompanied by a princess who is kind? ”
Wen Yuhou said: "Oh? In this way, it seems that the Northern Wei Dynasty is still very sincere, I don't know who the emperor is going to point out this princess to? ”
The emperor pretended to have a headache and said: "This is also a headache for me, so, I will discuss with Jinfeng, which child does Jinfeng think is suitable?" ”
Wen Yuhou smiled and said, "Yi Weichen thinks that King Chenjun is a good candidate. ”
