Chapter 643: Cuckold
After the engagement was over, Zheng Ying went back to the house directly.
At the end of the performance, he felt that he should take a good rest.
Today's banquet was as lively as he expected, and he was not surprised by Zheng Jin's appearance.
Zheng Jin, of course, came to see his jokes. His younger brother has always been very smart, and Zheng Ying is really not surprised that he can sniff out who the person in his heart is from the clues like his father.
Zheng Ying understood that the glass of wine on the table before was Zheng Jin's mockery of him, mocking him that even if he struggled so far, he had to accept his fate. Zheng Jin was laughing at him for not knowing the current affairs, but at the same time, he was also laughing at him for giving up his insistence so easily and compromising on the path arranged by his father.
This kind of engagement banquet is actually just a performance for Xie Xiang and the courtiers, he knows this, his so-called "fiancée" Xie Shurou knows it, his father knows it, and Zheng Jin should also know it. That's why today's wedding banquet is so quietly provocative.
But Zheng Jin did everything he could, but only missed one thing, that is, he didn't plan to compromise easily, and Xie Shurou's attitude also gave him the capital to continue to persevere, so in today's play, he was willing to cooperate with the Xie family to act, but he didn't expect this play to be so lively.
Thinking of the rumors at today's banquet...... Zheng Ying couldn't help but tilt the corners of her mouth up slightly. Legend has it that the king of Xin, who was cuckolded before he married his wife, is actually in a good mood at the moment.
The engagement banquet made such complicated gossip, and this Xie Shurou is quite capable. With these rumors to build upon, even if King Xin and Princess Xin are not in harmony with their husbands and wives in the future, he will be able to explain the past to the Xie family.
As soon as Zheng Ying returned home, he directly changed his clothes and went into the study, and Han Denian was already waiting for him in the study.
"Go and see," Zheng Ying turned back to Zhiling who followed him and ordered, "Has the messenger from the Great Emperor's Mansion arrived?" ”
"Back to the prince's words," Zhiling hurriedly replied, "It's early." Princess Pingyang sent her personal Mama Zhang to deliver the letter. ”
"What about faith?" Zheng Ying stretched out her hand towards Zhiling, and Zhiling hurriedly took out a bulging envelope from her arms and handed it over, before she spoke: "Master, Mama Zhang also brought a message for Princess Pingyang." ”
"Message?" Zheng Ying was slightly stunned: "But what is the important thing?" Today, the eldest sister obviously went to Xie Mansion for a banquet, if there was something, why didn't she say it to the king in person. ”
Zhiling hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "The master might as well listen to the princess's message first." ”
"You say." Zheng Ying nodded casually, and sat behind the desk while opening the letter.
"The princess said, don't embarrass yourself too much." Zhiling replied.
"Hmm." Zheng Ying, who was immersed in reading the letter, didn't seem to notice what Zhiling said at all, he responded casually, noncommittal.
The princess also said......" Zhiling grinned a little embarrassed when she saw Zheng Ying's appearance, and didn't know if she would truthfully convey the following words.
"What else did you say?" Zheng Ying asked without raising her head.
"Say ......" Zhiling looked at Han Denian who was sitting on the side with some embarrassment, and replied stubbornly: "Even the golden cage can't hold the crested eagle." A girl who is too lively and dazzling is not suitable for living in a deep-walled palace, and if she is too forceful, she will hurt others and herself. The prince is not as good as ...... It's not as good as what ...... within."
"Why not as good as what?" Zheng Ying raised her head and looked at Zhiling: "Why don't you live a good life with Miss Xie?" ”
"Poor...... Almost, right? Zhiling quickly glanced at Han Denian, grinned, and showed a "smile" with a distorted expression: "Master, if there is nothing wrong, the subordinates will retire first." ”
After speaking, Zhiling didn't wait for Zheng Ying to answer, and hurriedly withdrew from the study, quite a bit panicked. Han Denian, who was on the side, also looked embarrassed, pretending not to hear anything and lowering his head to rummage through the few documents in his hand. The most calm person in the whole room was Zheng Ying, who continued to look down at the letter as if nothing had happened, as if nothing had happened just now.
Han Denian secretly glanced at Zheng Ying, who had a calm face, and stopped talking.
From Han Denian's personal point of view, he actually has the same thoughts as Princess Pingyang, hoping that Zheng Ying can live a good life with Miss Xie, and it is best to have a child as soon as possible. In the matter of competing for the reserve, the heir is also the capital.
Compared with the previous emperor, the emperor's sons are not many. The eldest prince, the second prince, and the third prince died early, and although the fourth prince had already married a wife, he still had no children due to physical reasons, so the emperor did not even have a serious grandson until now.
In this situation, after King Xin and King Yi get married, who can give birth to a grandson for the emperor first is undoubtedly particularly important.
The emperor's eldest grandson is an important political capital!
Therefore, Han Denian felt that the words brought by Princess Pingyang to Mama were really reasonable. But after the prince heard this, this posture of the eight winds did not move, which made Han Denian a little unsure, whether he listened to it or not.
Han Denian hesitated for a long time, and finally made up his mind and was ready to help persuade him, but he just opened his mouth and didn't say a word, and Zhiling, who had just fled in the wilderness, hurriedly returned.
"Master! Yunbai has moved. Zhiling said very quickly.
Han Denian immediately forgot what he wanted to say before, he quickly stood up and clapped his hands: "Okay!" It's moving! This Yunbai is also patient enough, and after getting the order of Empress Wei, he actually delayed it for so many days before starting. ”
"What about people?" Zheng Ying asked.
"Take it." Zhiling replied with a smile: "The small wing at the back of the tea room did not alarm others. ”
"Check it out." Zheng Ying stood up and walked outside, Han Denian and Zhiling hurriedly followed behind him, and also walked in the direction of the tea room.
When Zheng Ying arrived at the tea room, Ji Ling, Tao Ping, and Zhang Liqiu had already arrived, Yun Bai was tied up like a zongzi and curled up on the ground, with a strip of cloth in his mouth, as soon as he saw Zheng Ying enter the threshold, Yun Bai immediately struggled to roll around on the ground, and made a whining sound in his mouth.
Zheng Ying stood quietly in front of Yun Bai, watching him roll on the ground for a long time, and then nodded to Ji Ling, who immediately turned around and came over with a tea tray and stood beside Zheng Ying. There was a teapot and a teacup in the tea plate, which was the celadon tea set that Zheng Ying usually used.
"Yunbai, this king remembers, you have been following this king since he was four years old, and it has been nearly eighteen years until today, right?" Zheng Ying reached out and picked up the teapot on the tea tray, poured a cup of tea herself, and then picked up the teacup and sent it to Yun Bai's mouth: "For so many years, you have served this king, and you can be regarded as a great worker. This king will personally pour you a cup of tea today, and thank you for your hard work over the years. ”
