Section IV

Soon after the court dealt with the rebellion of the abolished prince and beheaded Murong Wei, he named Shen Zishan as prime minister. Naturally, the original Prime Minister Murong Mansion became Prime Minister Shen Cheng's Mansion, and Yimei changed from the host to a guest overnight. Yimei accepted all this very calmly, and when her mother asked Madame Shen to take care of herself, she knew that she had nothing. But Cheng Jun was very dissatisfied with what his parents did, and he wanted to pull Yimei to find his father to theorize, but Yimei only cared about mixing her plum blossom juice, and said lightly to him: "It's not a big deal, it's all the same." ”

Cheng Jun saw that he couldn't say that she would go with him, so he said, "Don't worry, I will definitely persuade my father to return the house to you." With that, he opened the door and went out. Yimei raised her head and glanced at the door, snorting coldly.

"As long as you're mine, I won't get anything. Yimei muttered to herself, dipped her right index finger in a little fishy red plum juice and wiped it on her lips.

As expected, instead of persuading Lord Shen to move out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he was also scolded by his father and was almost served by the family law. Under his father's majesty, Cheng Jun, who didn't dare to distinguish any more, turned around stupidly, and his father's voice came from behind him hurriedly, "You wait a minute!" Cheng Jun happily thought that his father had a change of heart, but he didn't expect his father to continue: "Tomorrow, the ninth princess will come to our house, you are ready to prepare." ”

For the ninth princess Chengjun, she seems to be a year younger than Yi Mei, and the three of them met at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet held by the emperor a few years ago. It was a quiet little girl, but why did she suddenly come to the house of a court official? Cheng Jun couldn't figure it out, but Yi Mei could see it clearly, "When my father was alive, he told me that the emperor was going to choose a wishful husband for his most beloved ninth princess. ”

"What do you mean," Sung Joon said in shock and stunned at first, "I was chosen?"

"Why do you think she came to your house?" Yimei picked up the rouge box and walked out of the room, the rouge paste had already been adjusted, and then it was just dried and turned into powder and ready to use.

"But I have already said that I will marry you, and both father and mother know. ”

Yimei's tone was cool, "That's just a joke, besides, I'm the daughter of a sinner now, how can I compare to the golden branch and jade leaf." ”

Cheng Jun suddenly hugged Yimei from behind and said firmly in her ear: "I don't care, I only want you anyway!" Yimei was really moved at this moment A warm current flowed in her heart. However, after only a moment, she soberly told herself that the man who gave her warmth was the son of an enemy, and she must not fall in love with him. She turned around and held Cheng Jun's face with both hands and asked softly, "Are you really unwilling to marry a princess?"

"Three thousand weak water, I just want you. ”

"I have a way to get her not to choose you, but are you willing to listen to me?"

Cheng Jun hugged Yimei tightly again, "I listen to you." Yimei leaned on Cheng Jun's shoulder, but her eyes stayed on the red plum trees not far away. The plum blossoms are gradually going to fail, and it is necessary to make a few boxes of rouge before it completely decays, otherwise it will be necessary to wait until next year's wax moon to have plum blossom rouge used.

Yimei thought about silently removing the golden hairpin from her head.

Early the next morning, the ninth princess's phoenix chariot drove to the Shen Mansion, but she didn't see Cheng Jun's figure among the kneeling drivers, and the princess was a little disappointed. Shen Zishan and his wife were also very puzzled, obviously their son has always been diligent, why he got up early and read in the morning, why he was so greedy today. When they were about to call Cheng Jun, Yimei came up in a panic and said that Cheng Jun was sick and fell in bed. When the Ninth Princess and the Shen couple heard this, they immediately hurried to Cheng Jun's room. When the group came to Cheng Jun's room, they saw him lying on the bed, his face was as pale as uninked rice paper, and he struggled to say something, but in the end he didn't say it. Mrs. Shen was so anxious that she ran out of ideas, wiped her tears vigorously, and after Shen Zishan ordered someone to ask for a doctor, she could only be as anxious as an ant in a hot pot.

The brother Cheng Jun in the memory of the ninth princess is lively and healthy, which is far from the crooked appearance of the disease in front of her. Therefore, when she looked at Cheng Jun again, she suddenly felt disgusted, and after a few words of indiscriminate greeting with Shen Zishan, she hurried back to the palace.

Cheng Jun couldn't help but glance at Yimei proudly when he saw that his goal had been achieved, Yimei just smiled, and kept glancing at the vase on the desk out of the corner of his eyes, for fear of being discovered. Because the vase contained most of the blood that was stabbed from Cheng Jun's body with a golden hairpin last night. The doctor invited by Shen Zishan immediately saw that Cheng Jun was caused by excessive blood loss, and was about to talk back to Prime Minister Shen Cheng, Cheng Jun suddenly grabbed his hand and shook his head. The doctor immediately understood, and immediately turned to Shen Zishan and said, "I already know the cause of Childe's illness, but there are a few words I want to ask Childe alone, so please avoid it." ”

As soon as Cheng Jun saw his father go out, he immediately forced himself to get up, and the doctor hurriedly asked him to lie down and asked, "Is there something unspeakable about Childe?"

Cheng Jun smiled and said: "I'm afraid that my husband can't cure this disease, and in the future, my husband only needs to come to see me on time, and as for the cause and symptoms, I hope that Mr. doesn't need to explain it to my parents." ”

"How can the doctor's parents be old and ........," the doctor wanted to continue, but Cheng Jun interrupted him with a word, "I know a little bit about the heart of a doctor, but it's just for money, isn't it a long time for Mr. to do what I say?" Cheng Jun's words really moved the doctor's heart, but he still had doubts, "If the prime minister asks another doctor to treat the son, then I will die and have no place to be buried." ”

"Sir, rest assured, I've got you covered. ”

After that, the doctor reported back to Shen Zishan and said that Cheng Jun had an incurable disease, and he could only see the doctor for a long time and take medicine to survive. And it is true that every once in a while, Cheng Jun becomes ill, and when he asks other doctors to see it, they all say that it is good to keep it and heal it, but Cheng Jun is getting worse and worse, and only when this doctor comes to see him and prescribes medicine, Cheng Jun's illness will get better. Shen Zishan didn't bother to study it carefully, so he handed over Cheng Jun's illness to him, only Mrs. Shen washed her face with tears day and night, worried.
