After Xiao Yuanyi listened, her temperament came up again, and she nodded again and again:

"Okay, okay, Grandma will not hinder your future, if you want to marry the fourth prince, Grandma will fulfill you."

With that, he turned around, his eyes red.

Cheng Shaoshang's eyes also flashed with tears unconsciously.

When she got up to leave, she paused, but in the end, she took a slightly brisk step and left the Nine Mansions.

Cheng Shi was also helpless about this.

Unexpectedly, today's refusal to marry has deepened the estrangement between their mother and daughter.

Starry Night.

Cheng's inner house.

Cheng Shaoshang was outside the bedroom and played the flute to the bright moon.

A crisp flute sound rises, the rhyme is leisurely and soft, melodious, like a vermilion bird, the sound is clear and far-reaching, it seems to contain a touch of lamentation, but mixed with a sense of heartfelt relaxation.

Cheng Shi and his wife sleep.

The two of them lay on the bed with heavy hearts, quietly listening to the sound of the flute.

After a while, Xiao Yuanyi suddenly spoke:

"General."

"Hmm."

She said lightly:

"I didn't expect that in her heart, I was ten million times more terrible than the heavenly family."

Cheng Shi consolation:

"Madame, don't think like this, curling is still young, I don't understand our hard work as parents, although what Madame said wronged her, but it is also a last resort, don't be angry with her."

Xiao Yuanyi confided in his heart:

"It's her who doesn't blame me."

She let out a long sigh and sat up:

"At the beginning, we were sorry for curling, but now her attitude is self-inflicted."

Cheng Shi also got up and sat up:

"Didn't I say it before, curling and wife, they are both hard-mouthed and soft-hearted people, the same stubbornness and reluctance to bow their heads, and they love to say the most hurtful things when they speak."

Xiao Yuanyi's eyes were stunned:

"I don't blame her, I only blame myself, the cause of the day, the effect of today, no matter how difficult and reluctant we were at the beginning, it was we who left her and made her look like this."

She came back to her senses and said:

"It's useless to say too much, there are so many resentments in this world, I just hope that she and the four princes are not one of them, and they can love and work together for a stable life."

Three days later, the Changqiu Palace.

Empress Xuan sat upright on the main seat, looking at the appearance of Shaoshang who was a little unwilling, and smiled:

"Shaoshang, today is the day when His Majesty sends someone to your house to be hired, why don't you mention letting you go home from the palace today?"

An embarrassed look appeared on Cheng Shao's face:

"It's just that I tossed and turned a little last night and slept late, so I'll just take a nap and don't have to leave the palace early."

Empress Xuan said softly:

"It's about your own marriage, which girl won't care, this is a normal thing, you go to rest first."

When Cheng Shaoshang heard this, he finally couldn't help but say the question buried in his heart:

"Queen, why are you so good to me? As soon as I came to Changqiu Palace, I specially cleaned up a small house for me in the side hall, and even An Xiexiang was extremely careful and considerate to ask me what kind of smell I liked. ”

"I heard Ziyan say that I like craftsman drawings, and I also put a long case in the house."

"You must know that even at home, my aunt has never treated me like this, is it because of Ziyan that she loves me so much?"

Empress Xuan shook her head lightly and said with a smile:

"It's not exactly, it can make Ziyan's favorite girl, Yu naturally curious and loving, and I heard that it was not easy for you to survive when you were young, how can you still be so well-behaved and sensible, Yu wants to be better to you more and more from the bottom of my heart."

"Moreover, your aunt is a female general who has been on the battlefield, and she is decisive in killing, and it is inevitable to be harsh in teaching children."

Cheng Shaoshang said with a slight loss:

"When have I been well-behaved and sensible, my aunt only thinks that I don't know how to learn, and there are no rules at all."

Empress Xuan slowly spoke:

"Parents in this world look at their own children as good and envy other people's children, just to teach their children, if they let them exchange their own children, you see if they change or not."

Cheng Shaoshang frowned slightly:

"But after a long comparison, how can the children not be resentful in their hearts."

Empress Xuan said with deep understanding:

"As a parent, how can you not know these superficial truths, but life can not be repeated, children's education responsibilities are more like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and there is no turning back, only if your children are strong, parents can feel at ease."

What she meant was:

"Forcing you is actually forcing ourselves."

Seeing that Cheng Shaoshang was silent thoughtfully, he smiled softly:

"You didn't grow up with your parents since you were a child, you have suffered a lot from your mother and uncle, and you have been in the same situation, knowing that it is not easy to survive, so it is inevitable that I pity you more and prefer you."

"Therefore, you don't feel offended even if you have a little bit of speech, can you understand that your heart hurts?"

Cheng Shaoshang's eyes were full of emotion, at this moment, even if she told her that she would be partial to herself because she sympathized with what she had suffered when she was a child, she didn't feel embarrassed at all, and she couldn't help but sigh lightly in her heart:

"I guess this is what it's like to be loved by my mother."

So, she smiled and said:

"Thank you, Queen, Shaoshang understands."

"Well, let's go take a nap."

Not long after Cheng Shaoshang returned to the house where he was resting, Wang Ji walked in without seeing the slightest, she looked at the room a little, and said:

"The furnishings here are really cold and simple, it seems that my aunt treats you like this, I lived in the palace when I was a child, and I used all the same color of gold-painted lacquerware, covered with silk brocade, lit incense is a phoenix rhino drum, and drank it."

Cheng Shaoshang then interrupted:

"Mrs. Wang, you may not believe it, but in fact, I like you because you are stupid."

Wang Ji glared angrily when she heard this, but before she could speak, Cheng Shaoshang continued:

"I like it because you're stupid enough, you can make people grab the handle as soon as you open your mouth, and the first time I saw you at home, I thought you should learn one thing, which is to shut up."

"The saint has always been strictly thrifty, and I haven't seen the queen's bedroom, why do you come to the gold-painted lacquerware in your mouth, the silk brocade, what nonsense do you say with your eyes open."

"You are really not afraid that the Holy God will punish you for the sin of living a wasteful life."

Wang Ji argued:

"Those were originally furnishings in the old royal palace, and they were never used in state funds."

When Cheng Shaoshang heard this, he simply said neatly:

"It's not yours for a long time, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you, hurry up."

Wang Ji couldn't bear this breath and said:

"Who said it wasn't mine, do you know that the living expenses of my Qian'an royal family should be richer than this palace, my grandfather is the ancestor of the Wen family, an important minister of the former dynasty, since the ancestors, he has been rich in the world, and has more than 10,000 soldiers."

"The saint and Concubine Yue's childhood sweethearts married the queen who was fostered in his family in order to unite with my maternal father."

She paused in a tone, with an unwilling tone:

"It's a pity that since the battle in the lonely city and the death of my maternal father, my family has plummeted and become what it is now."

When Cheng Shaoshang heard this, he directly made up for it:

"Outdated royalty."

"You" The corners of Wang Ji's mouth trembled, and when he was about to say something, Cheng Shaoshang's ears moved, but he heard that in the main hall, someone actually ridiculed Queen Xuan.

In an instant, she shouted to Wang Ji:

"Shut up, do you still want to experience the sleepless nights of those days after attending the birthday banquet of the Yuchang County Lord?"

A look of horror suddenly appeared on Wang Ji's face, as if she had recalled something.
