Chapter 702: Life can't be as good as you think, but it's not as bad as you think it is
Xiao Yuanyi immediately answered:
"Since ancient times, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and the concubine also wants to save some face for the little girl, but she is really overwhelmed."
"Your Majesty, the queen and the little girl have known each other for a short time, she seems to be well-behaved and accessible, but in fact she is cunning and reckless."
At the same time, Cheng Shaoshang was already crying when she heard it, as if she would cry at any time, she tried her best to open her eyes wide, and diverted her attention with her fluttering eyes.
However, she was deaf and clear-sighted, and she could clearly hear the sarcastic laughter of Wang Ji in the side hall.
At this time, the three princes sighed again and again:
"I can't imagine it, I really can't imagine that there will be someone who doesn't marry the fourth brother and devalues his own daughter to worthless."
"In my impression, the ladies in the whole capital are vying to marry the fourth brother, but the Cheng family does not hesitate to disobey the emperor's order in order to refuse to marry."
"I don't know if it's Mrs. Cheng's good intentions, or if I'm afraid of the royal family."
The prince said in a deep voice:
"Third brother said cautiously, this matter is a matter of royal face."
He immediately looked at Cheng Shi:
"General Cheng, please think twice."
Seeing that Cheng Shi was still silent, Emperor Wen forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said:
"Cheng Shi, you don't joke, I proposed to you today, my sincerity has been expressed, you dare to refuse marriage in public, you are insulting Long Yan, and you are going to bring disaster to the family."
"I will allow you to think twice before answering."
Cheng Shi swallowed his saliva and said:
"The minister violates the holy will, the sin deserves death, the minister is willing to resign, leave the capital with his wife and daughter, and it will not hinder His Majesty's eyes, but the courtiers can't climb the Four Highnesses, and I hope Your Majesty will fulfill it."
Emperor Wen finally couldn't hold back the anger in his heart:
"Presumptuous, Cheng Shi, are you using your resignation to force me? Someone! ”
Empress Xuan immediately spoke out to dissuade:
"Your Majesty is angry, and General Cheng is also in a hurry, let them think about it again."
After hearing this, Emperor Wen glared at Cheng Shi and his wife, and did not speak again.
At this time, Cheng Shaoshang raised his smiling face with tears in his eyes:
"Your Majesty, what my grandmother said is true, how can a person who has such a character as a courtier, who even looks down on his own mother, be worthy of the four highnesses of heaven and man."
"I don't know which one of the whole capital cities, the four highnesses are immortal-like characters who are not born in the world."
"He is also the son-in-law that the little ladies in the capital want to marry day and night, but the courtiers know that such four highnesses are not matched."
A flash of remembrance flashed in her clear eyes:
"Because the courtiers have been unlucky since they were young, they think that any unlucky thing will be encountered by the courtiers, until they meet the Fourth Highness, and see that their lives are getting more and more promising day by day, and finally they don't have to go hungry from time to time, so they often can't help but ask themselves."
"Are you dreaming, how can there be such a good-looking son in the world, like a god descending from heaven to save himself from fire and water."
"Am I really that lucky?"
"He couldn't bear to hurt my self-esteem, and deliberately used the form of exchange to make me self-reliant."
"Seeing that I had never studied and read, he taught me to read and write, and specially found books that interested me, and celebrated my birthday, and took me to see many things I had been curious about, and never said a word in the face of what I brought up."
"Such a perfect son-in-law, I think no girl in the world will refuse."
Her tone paused slightly:
"It's just that His Majesty suddenly proposed marriage today, which really caught the courtiers and their families a little off guard."
Cheng Shaocheng looked at Emperor Wen:
"But there is one thing, my grandmother did the right thing, that is, to tell the truth, the courtiers are indeed as my mother said, vulgar, and often cause trouble, do not know how to understand their parents, let alone obey their son-in-law."
Her eyes suddenly froze:
"But don't say any of this, I once asked Ziyan, I'm obviously not a gentle and virtuous girl loved by the world, why am I so good to me?"
"But he didn't answer me directly, so he said these two things to me."
"One is that life can't be as good as you think, but it's not as bad as you think."
"The second is that I don't live to meet your expectations, just as you don't live because of my expectations."
"At first, I didn't understand the true meaning of it, until my parents came home, but I stubbornly refused to obey the discipline, Ziyan said such a sentence to me, and I realized that he actually looked at me like this."
"He said, you are a special flower, you can grow as much as you want, you don't necessarily have to grow into what others expect, even if people all over the world are looking forward to you growing into your original appearance, I still hope that you can grow into what you want."
Emperor Wen was very relieved:
"Okay, that's a good point, I didn't expect Ziyan to treat you so deeply, it's really like me."
"Cheng Niangzi, Ziyan is so affectionate to you, what about you?"
He saw Cheng Shaoshang turn his head to look at Cheng Shi and Xiao Yuanyi, and immediately said:
"You don't have to look at them, what they said today doesn't count, now I am in charge of you, even if the filial piety is great, it is not as great as the holy will of the Son of Heaven, if you have anything in your heart, just say it."
Emperor Wen continued meaningfully:
"I want to see who dares to refute it."
Cheng Shaoshang said:
"Courtiers don't need others to decide, they only listen to themselves."
She paused and said:
"Courtier. May the Fourth Highness climb high next time. ”
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Wen and Empress Xuan looked at each other and smiled.
The prince and others all had more or less smiles on their faces, and it was really a joy in the world to be able to fulfill a loving couple.
"Okay, Mrs. Cheng, this marriage, but you personally promised it, a promise, if anyone dares to repeat it in the future, I will be responsible."
Cheng Shao Commercial Bank salutes:
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Cao Cheng on the side saw that Cheng Shi was still stunned, and hurriedly reminded in a low voice:
"General Cheng, don't thank you yet."
Cheng Shi and his wife had no choice but to respectfully say:
"Minister, courtier, thank you for your grace."
As soon as the family banquet ended, the marriage of the four princes spread in the capital in an instant, and many girls from big families never expected that the marriage of the four princes would become a foregone conclusion so quickly.
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty did not expect that the current saint would find a daughter of a military family for these four princes.
You must know that in the past few years, I don't know how many people from the family have been knocking on the marriage of the four princes in front of Emperor Wen, but it has never been resolved.
Cheng Fu.
Xiao Yuanyi took Cheng Shi and Cheng Shaoshang into the Nine Mansions angrily.
"Get on your knees."
Cheng Shi saw Cheng Shaoshang's expressionless pestle and did not move, he was afraid that the two of them would start to needle at Mai Mang again, so he hurriedly showed Cheng Shaoshang a look and asked her not to be hard-topped.
Cheng Shaoshang's eyes fell, and he knelt on the ground silently,
Seeing this, Xiao Yuanyi's heart swelled with anger, pointed at Cheng Shaoshang, and said to Cheng Shi:
"Look at her, look at her like this."
Cheng Shi snorted:
"Madam, don't be impatient, you sit down first, I'm too frightened today, don't say it's her, I can't come back to my senses for a while."
Xiao Yuanyi, who had just sat down, heard this, and said angrily:
"She was frightened, I see that she is very majestic today, and she is allowed to marry in public, and she is not even afraid of the holy power."
