Chapter 773: Cheng Ying
"I'm so happy to drink today, anyway, there is no one at home, you two don't have to go back, we are all sent back by our own family to say to His Royal Highness the Prince, just stay here tonight."
Now it's time for curfew, although Li Xiang can continue to go back, but Cheng Yanjin is obviously drinking hard, although he drank a lot yesterday, but after all, it is the East Palace of His Royal Highness the Prince, and there are many things that can't be let go, so Cheng Yanjin pulled Li Xiang to prevent him from leaving, and even had to drink all night tonight.
Li Xiang had a headache for a long time after drinking that day, so naturally he couldn't continue to drink with Cheng Yanjin, but if he didn't drink or drink, he would eventually go down with a pound of wine.
When Li Xiang and Cheng Yanjin were drinking, Cheng Luan and his mother were also talking in the back, and finally Cheng Luan agreed to the family's arrangement, after Cheng Luan weighed the pros and cons, he also knew what to do in this matter, rather than the child coming out of someone else's belly, it was better to come out of his eldest sister's belly, so that at least the child's grandfather's family is the Cheng family, and there is a layer of blood relationship.
And according to some current conventions, if the position is not high, then it is not qualified to raise a child, and the child has to recognize Cheng Luan as his mother, anyway, he is also a real aunt, and it is the same from anyone's belly.
"Mother knows that you are uncomfortable, but in a big family, what is there that we can decide for ourselves? My mother doesn't mean to curse you, but if you can't give birth to a boy in the future, if your eldest sister gives birth to a boy, this may be the hope of your two sisters for a lifetime. ”
Mrs. Cheng put her arms around her daughter, if she didn't make long-term plans for her daughter, how could she agree to such a thing? But this kind of thing is too common in the big family, there are many eldest ladies who were reluctant at the beginning, but in the end they all regretted it, and let other women give birth to the eldest son, which will be very eye-catching in front of them in the future, but if this eldest son is his own nephew, it is another story.
"Mother is right, originally the daughter thought too much, the daughter only thought about the two of them being happy, and there were not so many intrigues in the future, but unfortunately it was still impossible to achieve."
Cheng Luan did think so, you must know that girls in this era can't think like this, they will feel that it is normal for their men to have three wives and four concubines, although there will be things to compete for favor, but they have never thought that there is only one woman, of course, this is the result of Li Xiang's indoctrination.
"Aunt Fang, has the eldest sister ever been willing?"
Cheng Luan suddenly saw Aunt Fang standing next to her, this person was Cheng Yanjin's concubine and the biological mother of Cheng Ying, the eldest daughter of the concubine.
"Miss, what is this saying, the marriage of the children is naturally decided by the old lady, how can she be the master?"
Aunt Fang abides by her duty, even if her daughter is about to marry into the East Palace, she still stands by the side honestly, in Cheng Biting Jin's world, Aunt Fang is also the most knowledgeable about the rules, otherwise she would not dare to send her daughter to the East Palace, in case it is that kind of naughty sister, the two can't say that they take care of each other, maybe they will fight each other, even more powerful than others.
"Your sister is a stuffy gourd, and I don't know how to deal with it in many ways, speaking of which, it's also a good place to follow you, my uncle is good, and you are a smart person, if there is anything you two are discussing here, after all, it is the East Palace, and it may be the palace in the future, only the two of you sisters are your own people."
Mrs. Cheng is telling the truth, Cheng Biting Jin's eldest daughter has always been kind-hearted, and she knows it in the whole mansion, if she marries into the East Palace alone, there may be no bones left to be eaten by others, but Cheng Luan is a scheming person, if the two sisters can complement each other, they will really be able to stand in the palace in the future.
"Please rest assured that the mother and aunt should respect the eldest sister and complement the eldest sister in the East Palace."
Cheng Luan stood up and made a big salute to the two of them, Aunt Fang's tears came out, Aunt Fang was naturally very clear about Cheng Luan's temperament, the Cheng family is also a nobleman, there are many children in the family, and the relationship between Cheng Luan and Cheng Ying is also good.
In fact, according to Cheng Luan's idea, otherwise he can arrange one of his maids to Li Xiangyuanfang, and it should be better to control it if he has a child, but after all, he is not the same heart as himself, in case he has other ideas, it will be too late to regret it.
Cheng Yanjin naturally wanted to send his eldest daughter in, so that no matter who was the young master, he would be the grandfather of the future monarch.
"Come on, we're all family, what's the point of making a fuss? You go to the front hall and watch it, don't let your uncle drink too much tonight, wait a while......"
Mrs. Cheng didn't continue, this is also for the sake of her daughter's mood, let Li Xiang stay here tonight, that is also Cheng Yanjin and his wife discussed for a long time, just to let Li Xiang and Cheng Ying have a room here.
At that time, there will be wine, and the family will reduce a few more candles, and the two sisters will look similar, Li Xiang may not be able to detect it at that time, even if this thing is done, for the entire old Cheng family, it can be said that there is no harm in it, of course, the only thing that hurts is Cheng Luan.
Looking at her daughter's thin back, Mrs. Cheng's heart is not comfortable, but in a big family, we must take into account the interests of the family when doing anything, since we have chosen to stand with His Royal Highness the Grand Sun, then we must ensure that the interests are maximized, if the daughter is pregnant, she will naturally not be able to make up these messes, but now more than half a year has passed, and her daughter's stomach has not moved at all, how can this work?
In their opinion, there are a lot of women around Li Xiang, and they can't look at it every day, even if you look at it, which woman does His Royal Highness want to spoil him? Do you dare to stand in your way? If you wait, the officials of the Ministry of Rites will immediately participate in one copy, which is not a trivial matter.
What's more, Li Xiang is about to go south to Nanzhao, there is still a princess waiting there, in case someone gets pregnant in advance, it will be too late for us to regret it, and the status of Cheng Luan, who gave birth to a boy, is in jeopardy, Cheng Yanjin is old, and the whole family will have one more crisis, so it is naturally better to send Cheng Ying up now.
