Cheng Yujin always feels like a dream before she goes to bed. She soon goes to sleep. It's dark in her dream. The east palace with red walls and green tiles gradually appears behind. It's quiet and there is no one in it.
Dream to here, Cheng Yujin suddenly awake. When she opened her eyes, she couldn't tell which was reality and which was dream. People around her handed her a glass of water, Cheng Yujin turned back, Li Chengjing looked at her smile, said: "you wake up? Are you confused
Cheng Yujin's heart, which had been floating all night, immediately settled down and stood up: "you're back! I'm not dreaming? "
"Of course." Li Chengjing smiles and says, "be careful, your stomach is so big. Listen to servant girl say, you sleep at night sometimes can cramp, still can't turn over? "
Cheng Yujin said softly: "pregnancy is like this, which mother is relaxed? I don't have a lot of vomiting. It's better than many people. "
Li Chengjing sighed and said from the bottom of his heart, "it's hard for you. I'm sorry that you've been pregnant so hard and I've been away for months. "
Cheng Yujin shook her head and said, "Your Highness, this is not true. Everyone has his own responsibility. It's good for you to fulfill your duties. How can I tie you up because I'm pregnant? "
Li Chengjing sighed, knowing that this kind of thing has no perfect situation, and no longer doing this kind of argument, he turned to say: "fortunately, it will be OK next time. From now until you are in labor, I can accompany you."
There was something wrong with Cheng Yujin. She asked softly, "Your Highness, what happened in Jiangnan To someone else? "
Li Chengjing returned to the palace to resume his life, but the subsequent reconstruction of the disaster area and the resettlement of the refugees will not be completed in a short time and a half. Li Chengjing said that he could stay in the palace for the next few months, which means Someone else took over the aftermath of the disaster area.
Cheng Yujin's mood is somewhat complicated. It's the best time for her to spread her fame and win the hearts of the people by distributing rice and food and settling the suffering people. In the future, she will add a glittering sum to her resume. Li Chengjing finished the most difficult and dangerous part, but in the finishing stage, he was replaced by someone else.
This is no different from giving away the ready-made credit.
Cheng Yujin is hard to accept, but Li Chengjing, as a client, has gone through so much hard work, but he was intercepted at the last step. How should he feel? Cheng Yujin's eyes are concerned, but she is afraid to put pressure on Li Chengjing and dare not comfort him. Li Chengjing puts the pillow well. When she looks back at Cheng Yujin's eyes, she can't help laughing.
"What are you doing looking at me like this? I knew what was going to happen before I went back to Beijing. If I really want these achievements, I won't go back to Beijing to report my progress in the first place. Since I'm back, it means everything has been arranged. "
Cheng Yujin's heart moved: "Your Highness, did you hear something and then rush back to the palace?"
"No. Don't think about it. " Li Chengjing helped her sit down and said, "I wanted to come back. The minister needs his resume and fame. What am I worried about? I'm the crown prince. Who dares to take my credit? "
Cheng Yujin also thought that the whole world knew that when the plague broke out in Jiangnan, it was the prince himself who asked to go. No matter whether Li Chengjing actually did the work of governance or not, people in the world will only remember Li Chengjing. Even if Yang Fucheng rushed to send his own people to harvest the hearts of the people and win the fruits of victory, an ordinary minister was not as famous as the crown prince. On the contrary, Li Chengjing retired after success, not greedy for work, not to snatch, but also in front of the emperor and civil and military officials to leave a good impression of not being greedy for power.
However, Cheng Yujin knew that the loss was not so great, not without loss. Without her, Li Chengjing would not be in a hurry to come back. As long as he's in Jiangnan for a day, Yang Shoufu sends people there, and no one dares to fight for power with the crown prince. Li Chengjing can arrange everything properly, brush up the prince's reputation of caring for the common people and having both talent and morality, and then slowly return to Beijing.
Li Chengjing understated it and didn't want to put pressure on Cheng Yujin. Cheng Yujin understood it in her heart. She sighed a little and didn't mention it any more.
Cheng Yujin just wanted to comfort Li Chengjing, but she was afraid that rashly mentioning the pain would embarrass Li Chengjing. Not all comforts are just right, and not all people are willing to accept others' comforts. Self righteous kindness, sometimes can only be moved to their own just.
Cheng Yujin is used to thinking for others, so is Li Chengjing. Cheng Yujin is not rash to show his thoughtfulness. Li Chengjing also suppresses his sacrifice for Cheng Yujin. In the end, there is only a light "it's not a big deal."
Both of them respect each other's emotions. Only in this way can they never quarrel, get along more and more harmoniously, and get closer and closer. Heart is long, Li Chengjing for her little, Cheng Yujin did not say, but keep in mind. In the future, she will reciprocate and treat Li Chengjing more attentively.
At this time, Cheng Yujin understood Du ruo's words. Du Ruo said that no matter who she married, she could live a good life. But only when she married Li Chengjing, she would live a happy life.
She thought it was a compliment from a servant girl, but now she suddenly felt sad. That's right. If there were no changes at first, she would marry Huo Changyuan according to the original track, and she would be able to deal with the male chauvinist Huo Changyuan and the jealous Huo Xueshi. Cheng Yujin can lead a good life, but she may not be happy.Li Chengjing is probably the same.
Seeing that Cheng Yujin had not spoken for a long time, Li Chengjing's eyes were a little empty and seemed to be thinking about something. Li Chengjing picked his eyebrows and said with a smile, "what do you want to be so absorbed?"
Cheng Yujin shakes her head and naturally refuses to tell Li Chengjing these words. She changed the subject and said, "Your Highness, who will end the disaster relief?"
"Naturally, he is the favorite student of Yang Shoufu." Li Chengjing noticed that she deliberately changed the topic, did not investigate, but took the opportunity to talk about the situation outside, "today is just the cabinet wrestling with each other, waiting for tomorrow to go to court, there is still a quarrel."
Sure enough, the next day, Jiangnan disaster relief, and set off a big uproar in the court.
The relief commander was replaced by Yang Shoufu's confidants, and the other ministers fried the pot when they heard about it. Therefore, the courtiers quarreled endlessly. In the dispute, Xu Wen was implicated in the fact that he had withheld his wages and money, replaced inferior goods with good ones, and made great achievements, which led to the outbreak of the plague. In the court hall, one person yelled about the liquidation of the crime minister, and another accused Yang Shoufu of forming a clique for personal gain. It is clear that it was the negligence of the people of the Yang School at the beginning. Now, they even send their own students to finish up. What's the justice in the world?
This is probably the first time that Yang Fucheng has been impeached on such a large scale since he became chief assistant.
The outbreak of public anger is like a mountain torrent. At ordinary times, the green mountains and green waters are as quiet as usual. When it comes to that outbreak point, all new and old grudges will erupt together. At the beginning of the first man, other officials also followed suit to impeach him. From Xu Wen's affair to Yang Shoufu's power, and from his power to the harem's interference in politics, in the end, even Yang Xiaoyu, the only grandson of the Yang family, bullied men and women, and the slaves and servants of the Yang family bullied others.
I don't know who started first. In a word, impeachment is like a flood breaking a dike.
The impeachment lasted for a month. Every day, the emperor's desk was covered with snow like folds of impeachment for the first assistant. The literary officials gave full play to their literary talents in the imperial examination. They quoted scriptures and allusions from each other, and criticized Yang Shoufu's ten pages with great emotion. After writing a letter, I didn't enjoy it. The next day, I saw the Emperor didn't deal with it, and then I wrote a memorial and scolded him.
Yang Shoufu has dealt with many officials who were impeached and resigned, but he never thought that one day, the hero would become himself. Moreover, such a large-scale impeachment was unprecedented. At last, everyone was close to the devil, regardless of the facts and the truth, just scolding for the sake of scolding.
Yang Fucheng became angry and dealt with several of the leaders with a resolute manner. However, the founding emperor left his ancestral precepts and did not kill Yan Guan, so Yang Fucheng could not lay down his hand and could only blame him. However, for Yan Guan, it is an honor to be censured for remonstrating. It is a good name for honest and upright officials. So Yang Shoufu beat more fierce, as long as the speech officer was not killed, the next day by someone to help, but also continue to scold.
Yang Shoufu strongly suppressed all opposition and still sent his students to replace the crown prince. He thought that this was only a common impeachment, and it would be better to suppress the highest voices. However, the intensity and duration of the impeachment far exceeded Yang Fucheng's expectation.
Finally, even empress dowager Yang in the harem was shocked. Even though empress dowager Yang and Yang Fucheng are in a mess, they are brothers and sisters after all. In front of outsiders, Empress Dowager Yang naturally faces her own family. Empress Dowager Yang was forced by her illness. Finally, the emperor ordered that all the officials who took the lead in impeaching Yang Shoufu be demoted, promoted Yang Shilong to the position of official, and sent him silver rewards and precious medicinal materials. The intention of appeasement was very obvious.
Because of the emperor's forceful suppression, the impeachment was not finished. The person who took over the disaster relief was still Yang Fucheng's student, and Xu Wen was only demoted and was reprimanded. So many people risked their lives to seek justice. In the end, the Yang family stood still in the wind and rain. On the contrary, they were the first to impeach. They were dismissed and demoted.
Even the prince, who made great contributions to the plague and disaster relief, now lives away from the East Palace and rarely appears. In the impeachment storm, some people went to ask the crown prince for justice with righteous indignation. Li Chengjing said that the holy order had its own reason, and he was happy to obey the divine arrangement.
In the end, everything was suppressed. The Emperor gave Yang Shoufu enough face. Yang Shoufu's family was still the only one. When the people in the Court saw that all the dust had settled, they were very angry, but they had nothing to do. They felt worthless for the prince one after another.
In this crazy month, Li Chengjing seldom goes out, and goes back to the palace to accompany Cheng Yujin. The couple lived in the East Palace one by one. They were not very lively. They stayed in the Ciqing palace all day.
In October, almost all the people in the capital were involved in impeachment, which was suppressed by the Emperor himself.
In November, Yang Shoufu was unharmed. The Yang family went through this and became more and more proud when they went out. Cheng Jin became very nervous on the first day, and all the people in the palace were very upset.
Cheng Yujin is about to give birth. When the Hou family of Yichun came to visit Cheng Yujin, old lady Cheng saw Cheng Yujin's stomach. She wanted to say nothing but swallow it all.
Mrs. Cheng could only try to remind Cheng Yujin: "princess, although pregnant women need to rest, proper exercise is good for them. Although you have a big stomach now, it's inconvenient, but you can't relax when you walk every day. Let your servant girl support you and walk three or four times sooner or later. Now more activity, labor time can suffer lessCheng Yujin nodded: "I know that since the tire image is stable, I have never relaxed my daily routine. Even if I can't go out, I will walk three times in the east palace garden."
Mrs. Cheng nodded, at least relieved. Now all the wealth of Yichun Marquis's mansion is tied to Cheng Yujin. No one hopes Cheng Yujin's mother and son are safe and healthy more than old lady Cheng. Even if it's not pleasant to say, even if the children can't stay, adults must not have something to do.
If Cheng is to be chosen, she will not hesitate to choose Baoda.
Although the palace did not admit it, many ladies in the circle quietly guessed that the crown princess was not twins. Mrs. Cheng, in particular, had seen Ruan's pregnancy in those years, and now when she saw Cheng Yujin's pregnant face again, she had determined 80% of it.
This topic is heavy. Neither Mrs. Cheng nor Cheng Yujin mentioned it on their own initiative. However, when Mrs. Cheng returns to her home, she can't help sighing at the swaying flowers. Ordinary people are looking forward to their eldest daughter-in-law having a son. If they are twin boys, they are not happy to burn incense to their ancestors on the spot. However, in the royal family, it became taboo.
Now, everyone is looking forward to it. The Crown Princess must give birth to a couple of girls. This makes other people who have been looking for children for a long time but have no idea what they want to do.
In November, many people were worried about the news of the East Palace, and no one could sleep at night. Often a little wind and grass move, many palace lights in the palace are on. Empress Dowager Yang and empress Yang are counting the days. Even the emperor can't help but ask one day, how long does the crown princess have to give birth?
In a tense situation, the East Palace is very quiet. Wenpo and nanny have been ready for a long time. Li Chengjing doesn't make people nervous, for fear that it will affect Cheng Yujin's mental state. However, he can't help losing sleep and is awakened by any movement.
Cheng Yujin himself is delicious and sleepy, but Li Chengjing has obviously lost a lap. Cheng Yujin saw that she was embarrassed: "in fact, your highness, you don't have to be so nervous. The children are all predestined. When time comes, they will come out naturally. "
"I know." Li Chengjing rubbed his eyebrows and said calmly, "I'm not nervous."
Cheng Yujin looked at him silently and did not speak.
Everyone was on tenterhooks for a month, but until the end of November, Cheng Yujin didn't show any sign of giving birth. After a long time of nervousness, she would be paralyzed. Everyone thought that it would not be possible in the past two days. Unexpectedly, on the last day of November, Cheng Yujin suddenly launched the engine in the middle of the night.
