Chapter 142: Compromise
The so-called few families are happy and a few are worried, Chengjing didn't expect it, it should be said that he didn't want to think about it, but the emperor gave Yan Huai and Luo Qing a marriage like this.
He arrived at the Supervision Office in a daze, and after he was disbanded, he returned to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion in a huff, just wanting to be quiet alone, and the lord of Shuhua did not let him get his wish.
"You have also seen that the emperor has given marriage to Prince Yu Yi and Luo Qing, and if we see her in the future, we all have to salute and greet her, call her Niangniang, and don't dream again in the future."
She never thought that Prince Tangyi could look down on a wild girl who came out of a small family and couldn't get on the stage!
But this has nothing to do with her, she just wants to take care of her only son.
"Didn't you say that she was raised by Prince Yi before? Maybe the two of them have already ......"
She glanced at the ugly Chengjing beside her, and swallowed back the words that were too ugly and straightforward.
"Otherwise, Prince Yi can't come back and the first thing is to stand up for her, I persuaded you to die early, she looked obedient and obedient, it was really not a fuel-efficient lamp."
Cheng Jing's brows were furrowed, suppressing the anger in his heart, and he said word by word, "Don't talk about mother, Ruqing is not such a person." ”
"And what kind of person is she?"
When the county lord of Shuhua heard this, he was furious at the moment, the matter had been decided, and it was in front of him, could it be that he still missed Luo Qing?
She didn't want any decency anymore, and her good voice and anger towards Chengjing were gone, and her tone became tougher.
"I see that none of the girls in their Luo family are fuel-efficient lamps, and you still want to marry her as a wife, I also said to take a step back and let her be a concubine, but fortunately you refused, so it was delayed, otherwise it would be okay to welcome you into the door?"
She's still holding on.
"You don't want to think about something that you don't have, and Prince Nayi is not easy to get along with, if you cause trouble for the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, how do you want me to live with your father?"
"That's it! That's enough! ”
As Chengjing's voice fell, the sound of the tea cup shattering on the ground.
Lord Shuhua was so frightened that he exclaimed, and the whole person couldn't help but shrink back.
After a long time, he reacted, and he didn't want any style, and scolded, "What are you going to do?" For the sake of a woman, you want to be angry with me, right? Fortunately, she is going to marry Prince Yi, if she marries you, our family will not be troubled? ”
Can the Lord of Shuhua not be angry? In the past, Chengjing was a little romantic, but he was not obscene, and he had a reputation for being a merry and talented man, and the family was even more harmonious, where was there such a fierce quarrel?
Their identities are all there, she is even more disdainful of noisy and noisy, she feels that it is the act of a shrew, which is undignified, that is, Chengjing mentioned to her, saying that she wanted to marry Luo Qing as his wife, but she only politely refused, and now her son actually threw a tea cup for her, where can she bear it?
"Looks like I'm too used to you! For so many years, I have been looking forward to your success, you are now a master, and your temperament is also bigger! I thought that in the first place, just to give birth to you, I was bleeding heavily, otherwise I would not be able to have children again, so I would leave an heir to your father! ”
Cheng Jing just accidentally brushed the tea cup off the table, not because he wanted to fight against the lord of Shuhua, and then he heard her complaint, thinking of his ambition to become a military general to protect his family and defend the country, and he couldn't get to marry Luo Qing, and a sense of frustration came to him.
He sat down in his chair dejectedly and said in a dumb voice, "Mother, I'm sorry, it's my son who has lost his temper." ”
He slowly bent down and buried his face in his palm.
"Please, let my son be alone and quiet, okay? Please......"
It was the first time for the county lord of Shuhua to lose his temper like this, and he could hear Chengjing's words in his heart, and no matter how much harsh criticism he had, he couldn't say anything.
"Think about it, my mother will also find good relatives for you, ...... as soon as possible Forget about her......"
With that, she left, leaving Chengjing alone in the house.
Quan Fangcai has been outside the door, he has been with Chengjing since he was a child, not to mention Chengjing's confidant, he can be regarded as the person who understands him best, seeing that the lord of Shuhua is gone, he sighed in his heart and stepped forward to close the door for him, and he was clean.
Cheng Jing covered his face with his hands and didn't move for a long time.
He used to have ambitions, but their family has always been civil and military, so what's the use of Rao being both civil and military? Rao is the first time in his life that he rebelled and joined the army, so what? Or was caught.
His father's severe punishment and his mother's crying persuasion made him let go of his ambitions for the first time in his life.
He wondered, did his repeated compromises doom him to compromise when he returned? Is it the road that others have planned for him, once he sets foot on it, he is destined to not be able to walk? It's just because he compromised in the first place.
If he had known that he had compromised again and again, in exchange for such a result, would he have compromised in the first place?
He had never thought about it like this, but now he had to think about it more, although he knew that this seemed a bit far-fetched, far-fetched to blame his parents, Luo Qing didn't like him, and his mind had always refused simply, where did it have anything to do with others?
But he still resented himself, resented his cowardice, and even this family......
He thought that he should have been tougher and went directly to the door to propose, Luo Wen was bound to agree, but ......
Can he really do such a despicable thing regardless of Luo Qing's wishes?
He fell into the mire, and the more he struggled, the deeper he sank.
"Quan Ping, bring the wine!"
He finally looked up and yelled outside.
Quan Ping was clever, and when he heard that Chengjing's mood was wrong, he wanted to persuade him, but when he pushed open the door and saw his face, he finally went to get the wine without saying a word.
"Little Hou Ye, don't drink too much."
Cheng Jing ignored Quan Ping, picked up a jar of wine, opened the sealed altar, looked up and took a sip, spilled on his neck, and his clothes were everywhere.
Quan Ping couldn't bear to see it, and he didn't know where to start with a lot of words, so he could only accompany him silently.
In the Empress Dowager's first learn the rules for a month and a half, and when there is still half a month left, Luo Qing will leave the palace and return to the house to get married, and she will move directly from Chuxiu Palace to Changle Palace, where the Empress Dowager lives, and she doesn't have to go out of the palace again.
"Luo Qing has seen the Empress Dowager." Luo Qing knelt on the ground and made a big salute.
The Empress Dowager sat upright, cleared her throat, and said kindly and dignifiedly, "Get up." ”
"Empress Dowager Xie."
Luo Qing got up obediently, remembering the rules of the palace that Mama Zhang had taught, and lowered her head and didn't dare to look directly at the Empress Dowager.
But the Empress Dowager was quite curious about what the person she wanted to marry was like.
"Raise your head and let the mourners see."
Luo Qing was very worried in her heart, her future mother-in-law was not like ordinary mother-in-law, she was always a little timid.
She secretly encouraged herself, and the hands in front of her were tightly twisted, but she had the courage to raise her head and look at the Queen Mother.
I saw the Empress Dowager sitting on the top seat meticulously coiling her hair high, wearing a few golden beads and two hairpins to decorate, wearing a pair of drop-shaped golden earrings on her earlobes, wearing a brown dress, embroidered with peonies, with her slightly rich figure, graceful and luxurious state is fully revealed.
Luo Qing knew that this was the temperament that he had only gained from being in a high position all year round.
"Well, you are really good-looking, and there is a three-point charm between your eyebrows and eyes, and it is nothing more than that Thirteen will ask to marry you."
The Empress Dowager suddenly spoke out and pulled back Luo Qing's senses, and she hurriedly lowered her head again.
"The Empress Dowager praised it falsely, Luo Qing's life was unremarkable, because she was afraid that she would not be worthy of the prince, and she would not give up thanks to the prince."
"It's not worthy." Luo Qing was stunned for a moment, but she heard the Empress Dowager sitting on the top seat laugh, "Just a joke." However, the mourning family wants to teach you one thing first. ”
Luo Qing was even more solemn, "I also ask the Empress Dowager to give advice." ”
The Empress Dowager got up and walked slowly towards Luo Qing with the help of the palace maid beside her.
"You want to be Prince Yi and Princess Yi in the future, don't say these words to others again, you will lose your ambition in vain."
Luo Qing suddenly realized that the Empress Dowager was not dissatisfied with herself, but was just teaching herself to be a person and do things.
"Empress Dowager Xie's teachings."
The Empress Dowager was already in front of Luo Qing, and reached out and patted her shoulder gently.
"You just came to Changle Palace today, let's go and rest first, and then come to the mourning house tomorrow to start learning the rules."
Luo Qing blessed herself with the Empress Dowager and retired with her.
When she arrived at Changle Palace, Luo Qing had her own house, but she still didn't dare to take it lightly after thinking about entering the palace, this palace is not as good as outside the palace, and some people are always unguardable.
What's more, my brother values the Queen Mother, and she also wants to be affirmed by the Queen Mother, so she naturally has to be more cautious in her words and deeds.
At this time, someone knocked on the door, Luo Qing opened the door and looked, it was the palace maid Luluo next to the Queen Mother.
The green pothos saluted her, then turned sideways and let out a palace maid from behind her.
"Girl, this is Su Su, and she will take care of you during your time in the palace."
Luo Qing followed the words of the pothos and looked at the palace maid named Susu, and saw that she combed the uniform hair of the palace maid, wore a beaded flower on her head, and there was nothing left, and she was wearing a plain palace coat on her body.
She didn't care about Luo Qing's scrutiny, and greeted her steadily and calmly.
"I've seen Miss Ruqing, and I hope the girl will give me more guidance if there is anything that the slave and maid have not done well in the future."
Luo Qing felt that this plain was quite in line with her eyes, but she didn't know if this person was good or not.
"No need to be polite, I'm new to the city, and there are many things I don't understand, but I need you to mention me more. Still don't know how old you are? ”
"The slave maid is in her teens this year."
Su Su's face was indifferent, and when he returned, he was also uneventful.
Seeing that the two had met, Lu Luo saluted Luo Qing again, saying that he wanted to go back to the Empress Dowager.
Luo Qing politely sent the person away.
The door of the mansion has always been to settle the province in the morning and dusk, how to talk about the palace? That is also not to be neglected.
After sending the pothos away, she asked Su Su for a long time about the rules that Ming'er needed to abide by when she wanted to go to the Queen Mother, and Su Su answered them one by one, Rao is so Luo Qing still didn't feel at ease, and she couldn't fall asleep until she was worried for most of the night.
The next morning, she was called up by Su Su to change her clothes and wash, and after cleaning up for a long time, she walked towards the main hall of the Empress Dowager with slightly blue and black circles under her eyes.
It's just that as soon as I arrived outside the hall, before I bypassed the Nanque screen in front of me, I heard a hearty female voice coming from inside.
"The Empress Dowager has been looking forward to it for a long time, and now it can be regarded as a wish, Prince Yi is finally getting married, and maybe he can hold a grandson for the Empress Dowager next year."
