Chapter 71

The emperor suddenly appeared in the garden, and everyone was obviously flustered. It's the most honorable and solemn thing to meet Tianyan in person. During the palace examination, the palace will prepare an urgent heart saving pill for the older students, so that they won't feel too excited and faint at the moment when they see the emperor.

The maidservant of Cheng Huo's family is in such a faint mood at the moment. Not to mention these ordinary maidservants, they are Cheng Yujin and Cheng Yumo. The biggest people they have ever met in their lives are princesses and county princesses. They have never even met the empress in the palace. Now when they suddenly see the emperor, they are in the same mood as the old scholar who attended the palace examination.

Although Huo Changyuan met the emperor, he met with all the civil and military officials. Even if he was asked by the emperor at the Palace Banquet before, he met half of the palace alone and in private. He was also very nervous. I'm afraid Cheng Yuanjing was the only one who was calm and calm.

No matter whether the emperor passed them or saw them, they should bow their heads and salute at the moment when they heard the arrival of the emperor until all the Imperial vehicles passed.

After the emperor entered the garden, naturally, a eunuch had already told him about the situation in the garden. When the emperor heard that there were people in the pavilion, he seemed to have a sudden interest and walked straight towards them.

As the emperor approached, Huo Changyuan's body was obviously tense, and Cheng Yumo's face turned white. Cheng Yujin's eyes are full of light, and Cheng Yuanjing's heart is even more transparent.

The emperor's visit is just for Cheng Yuanjing. Every move of the emperor in the palace was watched by thousands of people, so it was impossible to summon Cheng Yuanjing alone. When accompanying the Empress Dowager out of the palace, the rules are relaxed. No one can stop the emperor from visiting the garden.

And the emperor's whereabouts is not a secret, the emperor met in the garden who will pass on to everyone. Cheng Yuanjing still needs to cover up her identity. It's too eye-catching to meet her alone. When it comes to empress dowager Yang and Yang Shoufu, they may be suspicious of Cheng Yuanjing's identity. The emperor can't let Cheng Yuanjing take risks, so they all need a cover up.

Huo Changyuan is just right. His position is not high or low, not so low as to be suspected of being a face saint, nor so high as to have an intersection with the Yang family. When he met the emperor by chance, he stopped and was asked by the emperor.

Cheng Yujin fully understand, no wonder Cheng Yuanjing and Huo Changyuan walk together, no wonder Huo Changyuan didn't say a few words, just follow Cheng Yuanjing to walk in the garden. It's not surprising to meet anyone in the open garden.

Cheng Yujin silently sympathizes with Huo Changyuan, a fool who knows nothing about being used as a shield. Huo Changyuan certainly didn't realize that his whereabouts had been manipulated. Even when and where he went to the garden, he was unconsciously influenced by Cheng Yuanjing. And Cheng Yujin and Cheng Yumo appear here, which is a coincidence, not a coincidence.

Mrs. Cheng also wants to let Zhai Yanlin meet Cheng Yujin through the open platform of the garden. Cheng Jinyu will be more satisfied with the appearance of a woman. She only knows that Cheng Jinyu is very good. Old lady Cheng arranges to meet her. Who knows when Cheng Yujin arrives at the garden, it happens to collide with Cheng Yuanjing.

Huo Changyuan and Cheng Yumo are husband and wife. When they meet, they will naturally go together. As a result, Cheng Yujin is also a member of the Miansheng at the scheduled time and place.

Cheng Yujin sighed silently, her luck today is too mysterious. Cheng Yumo is Huo Changyuan's wife, Cheng Yujin is Mrs. Hou's sister, and Cheng Yuanjing is their ninth uncle. Their appearance in the garden is not abrupt and reasonable, which is better than Huo Changyuan alone. This is also the reason why Cheng Yuanjing did not stop Huo Changyuan from seeing Cheng Yumo just now.

They bowed their heads to salute. They noticed that the emperor was approaching and his body was lower. When the emperor came to Cheng Yuanjing, Cheng Yujin felt that the emperor's steps had obviously stopped.

Cheng Yujin lowered her eyes and silently stared at the crack on the ground, not to look at the Golden Dragon embroidery pattern. The eunuch had already arranged the pavilion separately, and the objects of the Cheng family had been removed and replaced with a set of bright yellow.

The emperor recovered in a moment and went on. After he sat down, he said very easygoing: "I don't want to make a big fuss on this trip. You don't have to be restrained. Let's all get up."

Huo Changyuan stood up in fear. After he stood up, he still lowered his head and did not dare to glance at it at will. Cheng Yumo's face turned white. He followed Huo Changyuan and hid half of his body behind him.

The emperor looked very easygoing, like a gentle elder, and asked, "I remember you, have the title of Huo family come down now?"

Huo Changyuan did not expect that the emperor should be so kind. After such a long time, he still remembered the title of Huo family. Huo Changyuan was flattered and said, "I will report to the emperor that the title of Marquis Jingyong has been implemented. Thank you for your kindness

The emperor nodded with a smile. In fact, he had known about it for a long time. Now it's just a beginning.

Sure enough, as the emperor said, his eyes naturally and genially fell on other people: "are these people your relatives?"

Cheng Yumo, dressed as a newlywed, nestles behind Huo Changyuan. It's not hard to guess her identity. Huo Changyuan felt that the emperor was too easygoing today. He even asked about his family. Huo Changyuan was terrified, and carefully introduced: "Xie Sheng remembers, and Chen Baichong is surprised. This is my wife. This is... "Huo Changyuan said that he wanted to introduce the remaining people one by one. When he reached Cheng Yuanjing, Cheng Yuanjing stepped aside and avoided Huo Changyuan's advice. He arched his hand and said, "Cheng Yuanjing, I'd like to see your majesty. I wish your majesty health and peace. "

The emperor's eyes finally fell on Cheng Yuanjing. When he heard these two words, his eyes almost burst into tears. Since the eighth year of Jianwu, the father and son had to live separately. The emperor had not listened to Yuan Jing for 14 years. Every year, on the new year's day and birthday, Cheng Yuanjing would personally write a congratulatory message, which was sent to the palace by his confidant eunuch. However, a letter is no better than a son standing in front of him and speaking from his own mouth.

Moreover, for the sake of safety, these letters were burned immediately after reading by the emperor, without exception. At other times of the year, the emperor missed his dead wife and eldest son, but he couldn't take it out and have a look again.

The emperor lived in the palace and was accompanied by a large number of officials all the time. It was impossible for him to meet someone in private. Cheng Yuanjing's identity is the ninth son of Yichun Marquis's house, so there is no reason to enter the palace. The emperor clearly knew where his eldest son was and what he had done recently, but he had not seen him for many years.

The last time he saw his eldest son was at the palace examination in the 19th year of Jianwu. At that time, many new imperial examinations came in. Cheng Yuanjing followed the crowd and bowed his head to greet him.

The father and son didn't know each other. It was the first time they met after Cheng Yuanjing was sent to Qingxuan temple at the age of six. However, even so, the emperor had to be patient with his feelings and could not show any difference. These people are new imperial examiners, and the emperor should not have known them.

During the palace examination, the emperor couldn't bear to see the examinees answer the questions. He did not dare to stop directly to Cheng Yuanjing's side, but pretended to be curious, standing next to Cheng Yuanjing's examinee, and secretly went to see Cheng Yuanjing through action.

Ten years later, the child has grown up. His back is straight, tall and handsome. He was sick every day when he was young, but he can't see it when he grows up. Cheng Yuanjing noticed that the emperor was looking at him, but he didn't look back. The emperor could only notice that his handwriting was beautiful.

Later, the emperor followed Cheng Yuanjing's idea and put him out of town for training, but he didn't see him for three years.

This time, it is the only time that father and son have met directly in 14 years.

The emperor heard that Cheng Yuanjing's last sentence, "holy body is healthy and peaceful, and wish the world peace and tranquility" was the words in this year's birthday speech. He said it again at the moment as a birthday wish to the Emperor himself. The emperor was sad and pleased, but it was very harsh to hear his eldest son say that his name was Cheng Yuanjing.

His surname is Cheng, not Cheng Yuanjing. He is Li Chengjing, the crown prince of Qi.

When the emperor thought of this, he took a look at another woman. Speaking of the birthday message, the Cheng family had a lot to worry about this year. In the past, the emperor burned the congratulatory message after reading it, and none of them survived. This year, the Cheng family made a new idea, using double-sided embroidery to embroider a screen, which was sent in as a birthday gift to the marquis. Thus bypassing the crown prince, the emperor could show his liking openly, and put things in front of the case to observe day by day, without being forced to destroy them.

Although the Cheng family has done nothing for many years, they are very obedient. They can do whatever the palace asks them to do. At this time, the Cheng family's lack of initiative and sense of existence has become an advantage, which can cover up Cheng Yuanjing and provide enough time for him to grow up.

This year's screen is another thing that the emperor is very satisfied with.

Cheng Yujin stood at the bottom, listening to the emperor casually ask two questions about the Huo family, and then naturally led the topic to Cheng Yuanjing. Hearing Cheng Yuanjing say hello to the emperor, Cheng Yujin sighed.

Every family has its own difficult classics, and the royal family is not immune. She is feeling, vaguely feel the emperor's sight swept himself, Cheng Yujin immediately reaction, straight line Wanfu ceremony: "minister female Yichun Marquis's eldest daughter, Qingfu princess's daughter, please your majesty."

Yichun Marquis's eldest daughter, the emperor slowly a little impression, it seems that the person embroidering the screen is the eldest granddaughter of the Cheng family. The emperor looked at Cheng Yujin again. He was surprised that the Cheng family was not promising. He did not expect that their girls were well bred. The emperor saw how many women to ask for their respects. It can be said that Cheng Yujin's actions were more standard than those of the imperial concubines' housewives.

It's hard to be standard but not rigid. There is also the double-sided embroidery on the screen. Although it was written by Cheng Yuanjing, it is not easy to embroider the verve. The emperor thought that the person who was the master of the embroidery had been working for 20 years, but unexpectedly, he was so young.

The emperor looked at Cheng Yujin more and said, "let's all get up."

Cheng Yuanjing and Cheng Yujin stood up together. When the emperor looked at the picture in front of him, he felt very sad. He said, "I felt kind when I saw Huo Changyuan last time. It's very similar to the prince I lost in my early years. I didn't expect to see you again. You've already married. "

Huo Changyuan bowed his head and said, "thank you for your memory. The crown prince Hong Fu is in heaven, and the lucky man has his own appearance. I think he will find it soon. "

Huo Changyuan was at will to say flattering words, this words a, pavilion atmosphere suddenly some subtle. I'm afraid it's true to find Prince Cheng Jin soon.Today, the emperor's "accidental" encounter with the Cheng family is a very important foreshadowing for finding the crown prince. The emperor can't tell the world that he has known the whereabouts of the prince for a long time. If the prince is suddenly recognized, there must be a reasonable opportunity.

However, the emperor seemed to be more and more excited and asked Huo Changyuan excitedly, "when did you get married and how long has it been?"

Huo Changyuan truthfully replied: "report to your majesty, I got married in September this year, now it has been three months."

The emperor nodded and thought, "it's been three months. I remember you are about the same age as the prince, only one year older than him. It's too late for you to get married. If the prince is among the people, I don't know if you are married now. "

In the ears of those who don't know the truth, the emperor's words are full of love for his son. Even if his son has disappeared, he worries about his son's life and whether he has married and had children. Unfortunately, Cheng Yujin knows so much about it. Now when she hears it again, she feels funny and helpless.

Cheng Yujin secretly goes to see Cheng Yuanjing. Sure enough, Cheng Yuanjing doesn't look very well. Sure enough, all parents in the world are the same, even if people are not in front of them, they can still push marriage around the corner.
