Remember [69 Chinese Network] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
Emperor Yongtai was busy fighting with the family, and he didn't care about rewarding the third prince Xiao Chengyi.
After such a delay, it dragged on until the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
His merits seem to have been completely forgotten by Emperor Yongtai.
However, Empress Tao did not forget.
Princess Chengyang did not forget either.
Taking advantage of the palace banquet, it was rare to get together, and the atmosphere was also very warm, Princess Chengyang took the lead in mentioning the matter, and implicitly reminded Emperor Yongtai not to forget the reward for the third prince Xiao Chengyi.
Emperor Yongtai held the wine glass in his hand, obviously stunned.
However, he quickly came back to his senses and asked Sun Bangnian beside him, "Didn't I reward San Lang?" ”
Sun Bangnian hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, it is true that there is no reward for the Third Highness. ”
Oh!
Emperor Yongtai suddenly realized that his memory seemed to be declining.
He forgot about such an important matter.
So, he called the third prince Xiao Chengyi to him, gave a few words of encouragement, and gave many rewards.
Xiao Chengyi bowed down to thank him, and he was inevitably disappointed in his heart.
When the reward didn't come down, there was still some hope.
Today, my father has given a reward, and I don't even have the only hope.
His mood went from high to low, which is the time of a cup of tea.
partially, the eldest prince Xiao Chengye also ran out, saying congratulations, but in fact he ridiculed and ridiculed.
Xiao Chengyi didn't give him a good look, "The eldest brother is so envious, it is better for the eldest brother to go out of Beijing for disaster relief next year." ”
Xiao Chengye snorted, he didn't have a powerful mother-in-law, and he couldn't take out 10,000 loads of grain.
Disaster relief, forget it.
He still stays in the capital, safe, comfortable, and doesn't have to take risks.
Princess Chengyang was naturally dissatisfied with Emperor Yongtai's reward to the third prince Xiao Chengyi.
Who is scarce about mere property!
It is not appropriate to give such a small reward for such a great merit in disaster relief, neither a promotion, nor a knighthood, nor a position as a prince.
"San Lang is good, he didn't lose the face of the royal family. Brother Huang, you see that San Lang is a talent, he is safe and secure, and he has an extraordinarily long face. No amount of money is enough to reward him for his merits. It's better to give some more. ”
Emperor Yongtai raised his eyebrows.
Give some more?
What to give?
"Cheng Yang dislikes that the reward I gave to San Lang is too thin and not worthy of his credit?"
"Brother Huang misunderstood! The reward you give, even if it is a stick, is a great dignity that no one else can ask for. I'm thinking, San Lang is not small, and he is also a father, should he also grow in his career? ”
Emperor Yongtai's face was expressionless, "Isn't the identity of the prince enough?" What kind of official position is needed to be worthy of him? ”
This is obviously a little angry.
Princess Chengyang was taken aback and hurriedly explained: "Oops, I'm really a pig brain. The older you get, the more stupid your brain becomes, and you can't even speak clearly. It was a good intention, but when the words came out of my mouth, they all changed their taste. No wonder the royal brother misunderstood. Brother Huang, forgive me, blame me for being stupid! ”
Emperor Yongtai smiled, his smile was faint, and he didn't reach the bottom of his eyes.
He said: "Since I know that my brain is stupid, I will talk less in the future." Saburo has made a contribution, and I will not forget it. The reward that should be given will be given to him, and he will not be able to ask for what he should not give. ”
"Yes, yes, Brother Huang is right." Princess Chengyang echoed continuously, but she didn't think so.
even secretly complained that the emperor was getting more and more stingy.
The words that the third prince said when he went out of Beijing became a fart.
Hum!
The third prince, Xiao Chengyi, was very embarrassed, the matter involved him, and he had to stand up and show his feelings.
"The thunder, rain and dew are all the encouragement and teachings of the father to his sons. Disaster relief is the duty of the ministers. Fortunately, he lived up to his father's expectations and successfully completed the task. The reward given by the father is the greatest affirmation and praise for his sons. ”
That's a good sound.
Emperor Yongtai barely smiled.
Empress Tao never spoke, her eyes lowered, and her mind turned.
The emperor did not keep his promises, and everything he said at the beginning was regarded as a fart, and she secretly hated it in her heart.
knew that this was the case, so why bother to plan for Saburo in the first place.
It's better to stay in the capital, be safe and stable, and don't make meritorious service but you won't make mistakes.
It can also save a batch of grain, and it will change hands to a large amount of money.
Queen Tao was depressed and took a sip of the wine glass.
Emperor Yongtai saw her drinking like this, so he asked, "The queen is so drunk today?" ”
Empress Tao pursed her lips and smiled, "The concubine salutes Your Majesty with a cup." I wish Your Majesty good health and all your wishes come true. ”
"Hahaha......"
Emperor Yongtai laughed loudly, picked up his wine glass, and drank with the queen.
"Now in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, I also wish the Empress good health. I am looking forward to living and dying with the queen. ”
Empress Tao smiled shyly, "If you can get Your Majesty's words, the concubine's life is enough!" ”
Emperor Yongtai laughed out loud again.
The palace banquet of the Chinese New Year's Eve was spent in an atmosphere of harmony and friendship on the surface, but a dark tide in private.
When she was about to leave the palace, Empress Tao asked Young Eunuch Mei to send a message to the third prince, Xiao Chengyi.
"Niangniang asked our family to pass on a word, so that His Highness should not panic, and he must be stable."
Xiao Chengyi laughed at himself, "It's hard for Father-in-law Mei to make a trip." After you return to your mother, I know in my heart, and I don't panic. Princess Chengyang stood up for me, and she was beaten by her father, and I have to go to the princess's mansion to talk about it. ”
"It's time to make a few more trips to the Princess's Mansion. Princess Chengyang has strong financial resources and is a great help to His Royal Highness. ”
"I went to the princess's mansion to walk around, not because of Aunt Chengyang's financial resources, Grandpa Mei misunderstood."
"Yes, yes, yes! Our family is a layman, and we can only see benefits in our eyes, please forgive your Royal Highness. ”
Mei Gonggong said seriously. Go back, it's freezing, beware of catching a cold. ”
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern. The Third Highness also hurried back. ”
The two separated, and as soon as they turned around, Xiao Chengyi lost a smile on his face.
The chamberlain, with the emperor's reward, was already waiting in the carriage.
Looking at the carload of rewards, Xiao Chengyi's mood fell to the bottom.
Zhong Shuyun sat in another carriage and lifted the curtain of the door, "Your Highness sits on me, my carriage is spacious." ”
Xiao Chengyi let out a "hmm" and got into Zhong Shuyun's carriage in silence.
The husband and wife sat side by side, close to each other, and seemed very intimate.
Zhong Shuyun secretly grabbed his arm, "Your Highness is happy." Tomorrow is a new year, a new year, a new atmosphere, Your Highness will definitely usher in good luck. ”
"Will there really be good luck?" Xiao Chengyi seemed to be smiling, and his eyes were a little cold.
Zhong Shuyun said solemnly: "Your Highness should have a little more confidence in yourself, with the support of the queen mother, my mother, and the support of many royal relatives and courtiers, Your Highness will definitely be able to make his wish come true." ”
Xiao Chengyi looked back at her and suddenly asked, "Do you want to be the queen?" ”
The air is still!
Zhong Shuyun has a heart, thumping and thumping.
She didn't dare to speak easily, for fear of saying the wrong thing.
After taking a deep breath and brewing her emotions, she opened her mouth, "I don't dare to think about it, and I don't dare to hope for it." I'm lucky, and it's not my luck. ”
Xiao Chengyi laughed and stroked her cheek, "If you think so, Your Highness will be relieved." I'm really worried that you've got into the horns of the bull and are doing your best behind my back. ”
Zhong Shuyun snorted, pretending to be dissatisfied, "How could I hide from you to make small moves." On the big right and wrong, I'm very measured. You don't have to worry about the past. At that time, I was pregnant, and the doctor also said that women have more mood swings after pregnancy, and my reaction is really normal. ”
Xiao Chengyi joked, "According to what you say, His Royal Highness doesn't dare to let you get pregnant for the second time, for fear that you will make another mistake." ”
Zhong Shuyun shot back with a joke, "There is only one sister-in-law, are you satisfied?" Needless to say, I have to have three children. You don't dislike having too many children, do you? ”
Xiao Chengyi put his arm around her shoulders, "You can give birth to as many as you want, of course His Royal Highness can't dislike it, but there are not enough children." ”
Zhong Shuyun jokingly asked him, "Then, let me have three children first, and then let the woman in the backyard give birth, do you agree?" ”
She looked up, smiling, and there was a glint in her eyes.
She didn't ask solemnly, and even if she was dismissed, she wouldn't be too ashamed.
Xiao Chengyi pinched her cheeks, "According to what you say, if the women in the backyard are pregnant, wouldn't they give them a bowl of abortion pills and beat the child out?" They are all children of His Highness, can you bear it? ”
Zhong Shuyun said with a smile: "If you bear it, I will bear it." ”
"Your Highness naturally can't bear it. Concubines and concubines, if you cultivate them well, you can also become successful. ”
"Then listen to you. But you have to come to my room often, so that I can get pregnant before the other women. ”
"Good! Your Highness promises you. ”
Both sides compromise with each other.
The main thing is that Zhong Shuyun is compromising.
Ask her how she feels?
Naturally, it's MMP.
But she still had to smile and make a very satisfied look.
The encounters during pregnancy taught her a vivid survival lesson.
She is no longer the little girl who was single-minded and only had Xiao Chengyi in her eyes.
She has a son, she has to think about her son, for her own sake, and finally Xiao Chengyi.
It seems that when every woman has a child, the importance of men decreases.
Not being obsessed with men and not being crazy about men can also be regarded as a kind of growth and a good way to protect yourself.
It's just that only the parties concerned know how much sadness and helplessness there is.
She told herself to laugh and laugh happily.
Even if your heart is dripping blood, you have to laugh.
……
The Second Prince's Mansion.
It is also deep, and the husband and wife are preparing to go to bed.
Yan Yunqi and Xiao Chengwen sleep in separate rooms on weekdays, and only on special days will the husband and wife have the same room.
Now in Chinese New Year's Eve, I still have separate rooms to rest.
Yan Yunqi was a little worried about Xiao Chengwen.
Xiao Chengwen was in good spirits, and said casually: "You can say whatever you want, don't have scruples." ”
Yan Yunqi pondered and said, "Today's palace banquet, are you okay?" ”
Xiao Chengwen laughed, "What can His Highness do?" ”
"All night, His Majesty never called your name, didn't even look at you. Do you ...... in your heart?"
"You're too worried!" Xiao Chengwen decisively interrupted her, "His Royal Highness is just weak!" The heart is not as fragile as you think. Don't mention this little thing in the future. ”
Oh!
Yan Yunqi looked at him a few more times, but she couldn't see through his thoughts at all.
Maybe he really didn't care.
"You rest early, don't stay up too late."
She said a word of advice, and got up to leave.
