Chapter 115

In such a big palace, only Li Chengjing's voice can be heard, not fast and loud.

As soon as Li Chengjing opens her mouth, she takes all the responsibility to herself. Empress dowager Yang's original intention is to make trouble for Cheng Yujin. It's not easy for her to continue to say that. Empress Dowager Yang lifted her eyelids and said, "the prince is very protective of the crown princess. However, since you have entered the royal family, it is most important to know etiquette and general knowledge. In particular, the crown princess is the future queen, and the burden of the queen will be handed over to you sooner or later. If the Crown Princess doesn't set an example, what can the rest of the women do when they see her

Empress Dowager Yang specially named her, but Cheng Yujin couldn't continue to sit and got up with her sleeve in her arms. Li Chengjing sat beside her and stood up with her.

Cheng Yujin closed her eyes and listened to the instruction: "what the Empress Dowager said is that my son was taught. However, your majesty is in the prime of spring and autumn, and the queen is famous all over the world. There are still many things to learn from her. The Empress Dowager's words are really frightening. "

Empress Dowager Yang is really persistent to stir up the relationship between them and the emperor. Now in front of all the people in the harem, the emperor is present. Empress dowager Yang says that "the crown princess is the future queen". Her heart is hateful.

Cheng Yujin immediately put aside her position. Although empress dowager Yang was disappointed, she might continue to investigate. It's enough to stir these words up a little bit. If you talk too much, you'll be inferior. I didn't succeed this time, but there will be opportunities in the future.

Empress Dowager Yang slowed down for a moment, then suddenly changed her voice and said, "the crown princess has been in the palace for half a year. The East Palace is empty for half a year. There is no one in the palace to serve the crown prince. Although these words are obnoxious, as a grandmother, who else should be the villain? Princess, the sad family knows that you don't like to hear these words, but you are the model of women in the world. Jealousy is jealousy. According to the system, there should be talented people, selected servants and ladies around the crown prince, but now it has been half a year, and there is no one. How can the imperial court civilize the world? Princess, don't you think so? "

Cheng Yujin lowered her head. She had expected this situation for a long time, but she didn't expect that this level would come under this kind of scene.

Concubines are a barrier that a wife can't get around. Concubines are as common as drinking water and eating. Cheng Yujin saw her father and uncle take concubines one by one when she was a child, even her uncle and cousin. Dealing with her husband's concubines is like being a housekeeper. She has become a skill that a girl must learn in her life.

Cheng Yujin didn't think there was anything wrong with concubines before. She even felt that concubines were no different from property. As long as the next generation of heirs were in her hands, her husband would care where she went? When my concubine gave birth to a child, she would take it over and raise it. If she couldn't give birth, she would leave it in the backyard. Anyway, it didn't cost her money. Cheng Yujin didn't care.

Cheng Yujin also finds it hard to understand which handkerchiefs she has ever seen that were good before she went out of the cabinet, and who were angry and angry for her concubine when she got married. What's the trouble? It's just that there's an object added to the house. My husband is fond of playing with it. As a wife, the only thing you should pay attention to is that you can't let the object grow so big that you can't surpass yourself.

Cheng Yujin shakes her head secretly every time she sees Princess Qingfu throw something for the sake of Cheng Yuanxian's new concubine. As for those who are so depressed because their husband takes concubine, they are even more stupid. But there are many aunts. After all, there are many things. Under the same conditions, compared with Xu Zhixian, a gentle and affectionate young man, Cheng Yujin does not hesitate to choose the former.

She thought that she was calm enough. Intellectually, she knew that it would be sooner or later for the prince to take concubines. Instead of being mentioned by others, she would take the initiative to control the candidates within her control. But emotionally, Cheng Yujin just thought that the Ciqing palace she took care of would move in another woman, or another group of women. What Li Chengjing said to her would be said to other women again, and she felt uncomfortable.

Cheng Yujin quietly pinches herself, trying to make up her mind through the pain. It's not easy for her to get to this step. She can't ruin her business for many years just because she can't bear to linger for a while.

The pricking pain seemed to come into her mind. Cheng Yujin was about to answer the question when she was suddenly stopped by another person. Li Chengjing forced her hands apart, turned around, and owed her figure to empress dowager Yang: "the Empress Dowager is right. As a prince, grandson should set an example in the world. When the founding fathers set up the law, princes, concubines and concubines were allowed to choose one time, and more than ten people. The princess was twenty-five years old and had no marriage. He chose two women from his good family. At the age of 30, Fang Xu chose four concubines. As for the common people, they must be over 40 years old and have no children. Although the grandson is the crown prince, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and vice versa. The grandson should set an example and make a watch for the common people in the world. Now the grandson is less than 40 years old and has no child under his knee. How can he take a concubine? "

Empress Yang could not help frowning when she heard that the founding emperor was extremely strict and hated corrupt officials and extravagance most in his life. Therefore, she formulated a very strict Qi law, which even stipulated how many concubines the prince, the princess, the officials and the common people could take. Today, after a long time in Chengping, the founding emperor has passed away for many years, and the original strict laws and regulations are no longer strictly implemented.

The Lin family had a family precept that a man should not have concubines when he was less than 40 years old. This was actually the law of the founding of the people's Republic. But now Lin Qingyuan has become a rare pastry in Beijing. We can imagine how well this law has been implemented.This is how many years ago the old calendar, Li Chengjing suddenly moved out of the founding fathers of the law, really scared queen Yang. The Ministry of punishment did not necessarily recite the calendar of the founding emperor, but Li Chengjing was able to talk without moving a word. Moreover, this is the first time that empress Yang has heard someone use "Prince's crime and common people's crime" in this way.

It's a god like logic. In theory, ordinary men can only take concubines when they are 40 years old, but now folk men don't pay attention to these. Li Chengjing moved out and vowed to restrain himself with the demands of common people.

Empress Yang is a little speechless, but every word of the other party is the law of her ancestors. Empress Yang dare not say the fault of the founding emperor.

Empress Yang had no choice but to turn to empress Yang for help, hoping that empress Yang would break Li Chengjing's sophistry. Empress Dowager Yang is also frowning at the moment. Obviously, she also feels that it is very difficult for her to say anything. It's just a fallacy.

Empress Dowager Yang said, "this sentence is not used in this way. You are the prince. How can you be like the common people? I'm afraid the common people's rules have wronged you. "

"What the Empress Dowager said is wrong. Since the Empress Dowager said that the crown princess is a model for women in the world, her grandson should be a model for the common people in the world. If I can't do all the laws of my ancestors, where can I put the law in authority? It's hard to convince the public that people around the world will see it. In this way, how can we educate the people in the world? " Li Chengjing said and asked, "empress dowager, don't you think so?"

This is the original words of Empress Dowager Yang just now. Li Chengjing changed them and threw them back intact. Empress Dowager Yang was first suppressed by a "patriarchal code", and then choked by her own words. She was so dumb that she couldn't answer them.

Empress Dowager Yang could not swallow this tone and said, "but the royal family is the most important. As the prince, how can there be no one around you?"

Li Chengjing bowed his head and said, "it's my son who is unfilial."

But I didn't let go.

Empress Dowager Yang had to say more. The emperor coughed twice and said, "well, the prince is still young. It's only one year for me to find him. The issue of the heir is not urgent. What's more, it's only half a year since the prince and his concubine got married. It's too hard for them to raise their children now. "

As soon as the emperor spoke, Empress Dowager Yang didn't have much to say. Empress Yang is sitting on one side, her face is not very good. The emperor has always been respectful and obedient to his aunt. Today, for the sake of the prince, she openly brushed her face?

Empress Yang looks at the man in the hall. He is a young man, and he is in the prime of life. But this man is Zhong's son.

Today, Juner is even better than her son Zhong.

Empress Yang's lips turned white with anger, and her nails were tightly pinched into the meat. Empress Dowager Yang's face is not good-looking either. She glances down at Li Chengjing and Cheng Yujin. Cheng Yujin feels it and closes her eyes. Empress Dowager Yang finally held back her anger and said: "since the emperor has said so, there are not many words about mourning the family. The emperor, the prince and his son are of one mind, but they are in vain to be villains. "

It's not easy for the emperor to answer these words, and Li Chengjing has already answered them without waiting for the emperor's embarrassment: "I don't dare, but my grandson just abides by the rules of his ancestors. Since the Empress Dowager wants to see the royal family open as soon as possible, why not choose a wife for her second younger brother? The second younger brother is also at the age of marriage. Maybe after he marries a concubine, he will share his worries for his elders before me. "

As soon as the words came out, the whole room was silent. Li Chengjun might as well the spearhead will suddenly turn to him, subconsciously tense body.

Empress Yang could not help but hold her breath and looked back at empress Yang's face. When the emperor brushed his beard, he really looked thoughtful.

Li Chengjing then said, "Your Majesty has always regretted that there are few people in the palace. When the second younger brother marries his wife, there will be a lot of people. According to my son's minister, Miss Dou, the daughter of the powerful general Dou Da, is not bad. The Empress Dowager doesn't always praise Miss dou for her filial piety. In this way, why don't you let Dou marry his second younger brother as his wife? On the one hand, she will be more intimate, on the other hand, she will be able to serve the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager at her knees, so as to comfort the Empress Dowager's yearning. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone? "

But for the situation, Cheng Yujin would have applauded. Empress Dowager Yang is coming fiercely. It's not easy for Li Chengjing to block back unharmed. She didn't expect Li Chengjing to be able to fight back. Cheng Yujin's heart is dark and cool. Empress dowager Yang has been provoking the relationship between the East Palace and the emperor, and also wants to plug the east palace. Cheng Yujin has endured it for a long time, and now she finally treats him in his own way. Instead, the Yang family has been provoked.

All the people in the hall are looking at empress dowager Yang at the moment, waiting for Empress Dowager yang to make a statement. It has long been said that Dou Xiyin is the inner princess. Although the crown princess has been unable to do, but originally, the Dou family's favorite is the second prince, now the second prince has not married.

Empress Yang also looked at empress Yang. Empress Yang hesitated for a moment and said, "it's not urgent. It's not a trivial matter to choose a concubine. It can't be decided overnight. Jun'er is still young. It doesn't hurt to wait any longer. "

Although empress dowager Yang didn't say it clearly, none of the people present were stupid. They couldn't hear that "wait any longer" means "no". The imperial concubine tut a in the heart, a pair of wonderful eyes immediately go to see empress Yang, the eyes seem to smile but not smile, seem to laugh but not laugh, the face is pure see the excitement don't dislike the matter big smile.

I thought it was just an ordinary New Year's banquet. Unexpectedly, I saw so much excitement.Empress Yang's face was really a little difficult. She noticed that many imperial concubines were looking in her direction, so she palmed her face hard and refused to let others see the joke.

Finally, the emperor coughed and said, "let's discuss this matter again. Reunion is the most important thing at the family dinner. Let's all sit down and have dinner first."

The crowd bowed slightly and said in unison, "yes."

However, in the second half of the party, no one was in the mood to eat. After returning to Ciqing palace and getting rid of the public's attention, Cheng Yujin immediately bowed to Li Chengjing: "thank you, your highness today."

Li Chengjing reached out to stop Cheng Yujin: "what's the matter? I should have solved it."

Cheng Yujin breathed a sigh of relief. Of course, she could cope with empress dowager Yang's words at that time, but it was bound to be not as straightforward as Li Chengjing. Li Chengjing can say that he doesn't want to have a concubine, but Cheng Yujin can't.

Sure enough, as long as a man doesn't want to do this, no matter what the reason is, he can block it back.

Cheng Yujin was filled with emotion, half laughing and half tentatively asking, "Your Highness really doesn't want to have a concubine? It's not a rule for a man to have 40 concubines. Your highness, in front of so many people, I'm afraid it will be difficult in the future. "

"How can you be at ease if you don't speak it out?" Li Chengjing quietly looked at Cheng Yujin, his eyes seemed to smile, but also seemed to be oppression, "if I didn't say at that time, what would you do?"

Cheng Yujin thinks of the nail marks on her hands. If it wasn't for Li Chengjing, she was going to answer them. Cheng can't lay down the seven rules on her son.

Cheng Yujin doesn't speak. Li Chengjing sighs. Without waiting for her answer, she leans over and pulls her hand. Li Chengjing looked down at the seal on Cheng Yujin's hand carefully, and sighed slightly and imperceptibly: "this is not allowed in the future."

Cheng Yujin nodded. She did not ask which one was not allowed, to hurt her hand or to take a concubine?

But at this moment, Cheng Yujin would rather these are true. Even if she deceives herself, she is willing to believe in the security of the moment. She believes in Li Chengjing, and she really plans to take a concubine at forty.
