Chapter 220: Embarrassment
Emperor Longqing looked at Empress Dowager Cheng's suddenly sinking face, his eyebrows jumped slightly, and the joy on his face also dissipated.
He really didn't understand why Empress Dowager Cheng was so persistent in letting her mother's family enter the palace as a concubine, could it be that she thought that someone from the Cheng family would be able to stay in favor of the Cheng family if they entered the palace as a concubine? Does she really think she's a lustful fool?
Fortunately, his three uncles looked confused, but their hearts were like mirrors, and they never got too involved in this matter, especially Cheng Ping, who was afraid of his daughter's entry into the palace, and Mrs. Cheng did not hesitate to have a dispute with the Empress Dowager Cheng and was punished, the more they were like this, the happier Emperor Longqing's heart was, who doesn't like to understand people?
Therefore, this time, Mrs. Cheng did her birthday, he not only went to Chengenhou's Mansion in person, but also rewarded Chengenhou and his wife who offended Empress Dowager Cheng.
"Master Yuanming is really right, Cheng Jin is actually a blessed person, I thought she would be so stupid all her life, who would have thought that she would be able to find a husband like Shao'an." Empress Dowager Cheng said nonchalantly, "That thunder really made her smart." ”
Empress Dowager Cheng's words were understated, but the meaning was endless, Emperor Longqing was used to seeing the intrigue of women since he was a child, and immediately explained with a dry smile, "Cheng Jin is a childish, still a child, clever is clever, and he has not yet opened his mind in the matter of men and women." ”
"Humph! What childish! I thought Cheng Jin was a straightforward person who could be acquainted, but I didn't expect to misjudge her! Princess Anyang clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.
Empress Dowager Cheng and Emperor Longqing immediately looked at the angry Princess Anyang.
"Anyang!" Princess Changyang hurriedly covered her mouth, looked panicked, and hurriedly apologized to Empress Dowager Cheng and Emperor Longqing, "Queen Mother, Imperial Brother, Anyang is a momentary gaffe......"
"It's all a family, why should the imperial sister be so wronged by herself?" Princess Anyang tore off Princess Changyang's hand, "Cheng Jinming knows your thoughts about Brother Shao'an, but he just stepped in and took away Brother Shao'an, aren't you angry?" You have resentment and anger in your heart, why don't you speak up? The queen mother and the royal brother can make decisions for you! ”
"Don't talk about it!" Princess Changyang was cold, trembling with embarrassment, no matter how good her temper was, she was also a golden branch and jade leaf, and being exposed in front of her mother and brother was an unspeakable girl's heart, which was even more embarrassing than Wen Shao'an marrying someone else.
Empress Dowager Cheng and Emperor Longqing's surprised and pitying eyes made her feel ashamed, and for the first time, she felt resentful of this sister.
Princess Anyang was unaware of her sister's psychological changes, and she was still angry and angry, "Sister Huang, you just have a good temperament!" Let's treat Cheng Jin sincerely and care about Cheng Jin everywhere, but she came to pry your corner, Brother Huang, you have to be the master of the imperial sister, you can't fulfill ......"
"Anyang, shut up!" Empress Dowager Cheng reprimanded, "Your imperial sister has always been quiet and solemn, and she has never met Wen Shao a few times, and she is all in order, why do you talk so much nonsense?!" ”
"Yes, Anyang, you don't want to ruin your imperial sister's reputation." Emperor Longqing also said with a straight face, "The people you and your imperial sister want to promise, the queen mother has already selected, you don't have to mention this kind of thing again, it's not good for anyone to spread it." ”
"Why? Isn't the royal sister the most expensive girl in Daliang? Why can't you match the best son of the beam? Who among you can match the Lordship? Princess Anyang looked at them in disbelief, "Queen Mother, Brother Huang, we are a family, the closest people in this world, don't you even have compassion for the imperial sister?" ”
"Shao'an is not a good person, and he will not be happy if he marries Changyang." Looking at Princess Changyang, who was hanging her head and eager to find a hole to get into, Emperor Longqing was full of pity.
It's not that he doesn't love this sister, in fact, among the two sisters, he prefers the docile and introverted Chang Yang more, but the more so, the more cautious he must be in her marriage.
In the previous dynasty, there was a female emperor Yan Ping Emperor, she was the only daughter of Emperor Yan Ming, born beautiful, erudite and talented, at that time, Yan Ming Emperor was the queen daughter, and she chose the most outstanding man in Da Yan as her son-in-law, and the two also went through a period of Qin Se and Ming days.
After Emperor Yanping succeeded to the throne, her husband was named regent and presided over the government, and the taste of power could gradually corrode people's hearts.
Finally, in the tenth year of Emperor Yanping's succession, after Emperor Yanping lost their second child, the regent drafted an edict of abdication and forced Emperor Yanping to sign it.
After Emperor Yanping signed the edict, he died with a whimper, the cause of death is unknown, some say that she committed suicide in anger, and some say that she was killed by the regent.
The regent succeeded to the throne and changed Yan to Zhou, this Zhou Taizu was also a short-lived emperor, who reigned for three years and never left any heirs.
Another branch of the former Yan royal family rose up and was immediately supported by the courtiers, which restored the orthodoxy of the Yan Dynasty royal family.
Since then, whether it is Qianyan or Daliang, they are quite jealous of the horse, not only in the selection of the horse carefully, after the princess is still the horse, but also never give the horse too much authority, for most ambitious people, the princess is definitely not a good thing, because once she becomes a horse, it means that she has no future.
Wen Shao'an is Emperor Longqing's most relied on courtier, even if he wants to consolidate his relationship with him, he will never marry his sister to him, and his cousin Cheng Jin, who is separated by a layer, is the best choice, so he can only pretend not to know Chang Yang's thoughts.
What's more, regardless of interests, in terms of feelings alone, he didn't dare to hand over Chang Yang to Wen Shao'an, Wen Shao'an seems to be gentle, but in fact he is as alienated as the moon in the sky, that is, he is as noble as a princess marrying such a man who is as high as the bright moon, he can see it every day, but he can't enter his heart, where will he be happy on such a day?
But once a person like him is emotional, he is wholeheartedly and without reservation, he will ignore the outside discussion for Cheng Jin, go to the Enhou Mansion to propose marriage, will live more comfortably for her, put down his self-esteem and ask him for a big house, and will take her to the Nanban in order to accompany her......
All this doesn't look like Wen Shao'an can do it, but he did do it, it can be seen that he is not a stone that can't be hot, but he hasn't met anyone who can cover him before, even if Cheng Jin is young and stupid before, except for being born beautiful, he is useless, so what? He just likes such a woman.
Chang Yang has known him for so many years, and he has never said a few words to him, and he is even more cautious about her, doesn't this mean anything?
