Greetings, Ninth Uncle - Chapter 104

[Chapter 104 Dressing]

On July 14th, before dawn, Li Chengjing quietly got up.

The eunuch had been waiting outside, and after hearing the prince’s summons, he filed in, holding a full court uniform in his hand.

Li Chengjing took seven days off because of the big wedding. Today’s marriage leave is over. He also has to resume his duties as a prince. He will go to the court every day.

It is carried out early in the morning, and outside the Chengtiandian Square, no matter how bad the weather is, it cannot be easily cancelled.

Moreover, the early court is solemn. If you don’t dress properly or behave badly in the early court, you will be impeached by the officials for a lifetime, ranging from training or losing office. That’s not a joke.

As for being late, don’t even think about it.

This is the case with all the courtiers, and Li Chengjing, as the crown prince who leads the whole world, is even more strict.

The eunuchs were all concerned, and the prince had already instructed them to be quiet when preparing to go to court, so as not to wake the princess.

Inside the heavy thorn Jinxiu, Cheng Yujin lay flat and fell asleep, unaware that Li Chengjing was gone.

She turned to the other side, just facing Li Chengjing’s original position, she suddenly felt that the person in front of her was gone, Cheng Yujin was startled, and suddenly woke up.

The only thing I could see was the quilt that was still warm, and the person was no longer there.

Cheng Yujin thought that today was Li Chengjing’s first day in court after marriage, so she immediately sat up, put on her shoes and went to the ground.

When Li Chengjing heard the voice from the tent outside, he immediately raised his hand to signal the eunuchs to stop, then turned around by himself, and went to the dormitory to lift the bed tent: “Why are you awake?”

“His Royal Highness is facing the court today, as the crown princess, How can I be absent.”

“It’s okay.” Li Chengjing said, “It’s still a long time to go to court in the future, it’s not a big deal, it’s still early, you can go back and sleep for a while.”

“No.” Cheng Yujin shook her head firmly, “So On important days, I will personally send His Highness to court.”

She had already stood up and casually draped a home-made clothes from the closet. At this moment, her long hair was unkempt and was pressed under the clothes. Cheng Yujin didn’t pay much attention to wrapping her hands around the back of her neck and gently lifted her hair, her head covered with blue silk like blue silk. It flows down like a waterfall, throwing out a graceful arc.

Cheng Yujin didn’t care about her hair anymore. She lowered her head and buttoned the buttons on her clothes, and then walked towards Li Chengjing with a smile: “Your Highness.”

Li Chengjing watched this series of actions and watched Cheng Yujin walk towards him as if he was doing the right thing. When

he came, his eyes couldn’t help softening: “Okay.” When the

princess came, all the eunuchs naturally gave way. They stood on both sides with their clothes in their hands, and lightly presented the clothes they were going to use to them.

Cheng Yujin stood on tiptoe, put on the red robe for Li Chengjing, pressed the collar tightly, then took the leather belt from the brocade, went around Li Chengjing’s waist, and buckled it in front.

When Cheng Yujin bowed his head to wrap his waist, Li Chengjing was also looking down at her.

The prince’s court clothes are red. Li Chengjing is very handsome and heroic in it. His sleeves are very wide. At this time, in order to cooperate with Cheng Yujin, his arms are gently spread to the sides, and the long sleeves fall naturally, as if he can reach Cheng Yujin with his hand. The whole person is surrounded.

Cheng Yujin’s delicate face was reflected in front of the crimson gown, and her eyebrows became more and more picturesque.

She bowed her head and buckled the leather belt, her brows and eyes were very serious, completely opposite to the expression when she pulled her hair from the collar just now.

The prince’s court clothes, which symbolized power and status, and the beauty who stood on his chest and dressed him with his own hands, at this moment, as long as he put his hands together, he would be able to take them into his arms.

Cheng Yujin buckled the leather belt, took the knee-covered knees, jade pendants, ribbons, etc. from the brocade, and tied them one by one on the belt.

After doing all this, Cheng Yujin took two steps back, took the imperial crown from the last brocade, raised his head and smiled at Li Chengjing: “Your Highness, please bow your head.”

Li Chengjing gave her a deep look and lowered his neck slightly.

Cheng Yujin tied the crown on her hair, and the black tie was wrapped around her ears and fastened to her chin.

At this point, the dress is ready.

The servants of the Ciqing Palace were all waiting outside the door with their eyes down.

Li Chengjing said: “I’m leaving. It’s still early, you don’t have to go out, go back to sleep.”

Cheng Yujin still shook her head, took the cloak from the palace maid, put it on herself, and said, “I want to take His Highness out in person.”

Li Chengjing had no choice but to let her go.

Cheng Yujin followed Li Chengjing’s side and stopped when he reached the main entrance of Ciqing Palace.

The Ciqing Palace was not far from the place where the previous court was located. Li Chengjing did not take a chariot and walked there by himself.

He took two steps and looked back, seeing Cheng Yujin wearing a cyan cloak and holding a lantern, standing at the gate of the palace.

At this moment, the morning light was faint, and a group of firelight illuminated Cheng Yujin warmly and softly.

She stood in the azure light, with many palace maids on both sides, and behind her were red walls and green tiles, and her skin was fair and her hair was like ink, as if the stars had fallen into the world by mistake.

Seeing Li Chengjing turning back, Cheng Yujin nodded lightly and smiled: “His Royal Highness, I am here waiting for you to come back.”

It was not until Li Chengjing’s figure was no longer visible that Cheng Yujin turned around and returned to the palace.

It’s still dark now, and after this incident, Cheng Yujin couldn’t sleep, so she simply changed clothes and bathed, read some books in the study, and when it was time, she went out to greet Empress Dowager Yang and Empress Yang.

The emperor governed the country by filial piety, and had a lot of respect for his mother, the Empress Dowager Yang.

Cining Palace and Ciqing Palace are one in the west and the other in the east, and the distance is not small. When Cheng Yujin arrived, he saw many servants stopped in front of the palace gate.

Cheng Yujin recognized the sedan chairs of the queen and the queen mother at a glance.

Empress Yang and Empress Dowager Yang are close aunts and nephews. It is not surprising that the Empress appeared in the Cining Palace. Another person who is qualified to ride in the Empress Dowager’s sedan chair, I am afraid that there are only a few people up and down the palace.

Cheng Yujin entered the door, and sure enough, there were many familiar faces.

The Empress was with the Empress Dowager, including Yang Shoufu’s wife Yang Qian, Empress Yang’s sister Yang Yan, and Yang Yan’s daughter Dou Xiyin.

After Cheng Yujin came in, she was dazzled by the Yang family in this room. She just glanced at it and chuckled in her heart.

Dare to love a whole room of people, only she is not surnamed Yang, I don’t know whether to say that the sheep enter the wolf’s den, or the dove occupies the magpie’s nest.

With such an obvious disparity in the number of people, Cheng Yujin did not show timidity, but still saluted in a calm and steady manner: “My son, please give the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother your best. Mrs. Yang is well, Mrs. Dou is well.”

Mrs. Yang is the wife of Yang Shoufu’s wife, Yang Qian, and Yang Qian is the sister-in-law of the Empress Dowager. She has two daughters, the eldest daughter Yang Yan, who married Dou Da as his wife, and the second daughter, Yang Miao, who entered the palace and became the step queen.

Dou Xiyin is the daughter of Yang Yan and Dou Da, but Dou Xiyin seldom lives in the Dou family. She spends half of the year in the palace and the other half in the Yang family. Move back to your grandparents’ home.

Those who don’t know, think that Dou Xiyin’s home is in Yang’s mansion, and he is a guest when he goes to Dou’s mansion.

The Yang family had two queens in a row, and this generation of the Yang family had no daughters. The plans of Yang Yan and Dou Xiyin were obvious. Even Dou Xiyin regarded himself as the Yang family.

For the past ten years or so, Dou Xiyin has been the default choice for the Crown Princess of the capital.

It’s a pity that Dou Xiyin’s dream of being a prince and concubine came to nothing, as did the second prince’s dream of being a prince.

There has always been someone in the position of the prince. The genuine prince who has been missing for many years has fallen from the sky and brought his own prince, and many people’s dreams have been shattered.

When Yang Yan and Dou Xiyin saw Cheng Yujin on this occasion, their expressions were very subtle.

Empress Dowager Yang glanced at her and asked Cheng Yujin to get up.

After the palace servant asked the princess to sit down, Yang Yan said with a half-smiling smile, “So this is the princess. I’ve heard her name for a long time. On the day of the palace banquet, I only saw it from a distance. Today, I see it up close, and she is indeed a rare beauty. Today Seeing her for a moment is my wish.”

Since childhood, many people have praised Cheng Yujin for her beauty. She used to be fine, but now that she has become a crown princess, Yang Yan’s positioning of her is just rare. beauty?

Cheng Yujin’s smile remained unchanged, bearing the rare beauty in Yang Yan’s mouth, she said gently, “Mrs. Dou’s praise, those are just false names in the boudoir. Now that I have become a crown princess, I naturally cannot live up to your majesty and your highness. Trust, you should be virtuous, lead by example everywhere, and looks like nothing.”

Yang Yan was choked by these words, she saw that Cheng Yujin was in a bad mood, and she would inevitably stab her, so she deliberately said that Cheng Yujin said, “Not much. The beauty that she got”, to show that she was only attracted by the prince’s appearance.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Yujin admitted that she was beautiful, and humbly said that she should focus on virtue, and her appearance was empty.

Ah bah, who would really praise her for being a beauty?

She actually dared to answer?

However, looking at this face, looking at this figure, neither Yang Yan nor Dou Xiyin could say anything to refute.

The Yang family is powerful, but the fortune only started from the Empress Dowager Yang, and the appearance and temperament of the children are not comparable to those of the princes and nobles who have been pampered for several generations.

Especially when Cheng Yujin was sitting here, from his appearance, to his demeanor, and to his aura, he pressed everyone in the Yang family properly.

A beautiful and dignified princess, none other than that.

Dou Xiyin didn’t like Cheng Yujin very much. She hadn’t married the second cousin of the second prince, but a prince concubine appeared out of nowhere and blocked her way. Even the second cousin became less important.

How could Dou Xiyin endure this kind of anger? She originally planned to let her aunt and grandmother vent her anger on her second cousin, but after looking at it for a long time, she could not find an inappropriate place in Cheng Yujin.

Empress Yang saw Cheng Yujin’s eyes hurt, her face was cold and indifferent, and she didn’t even look away.

The Empress Dowager Yang raised her eyelids and said, “Prince Concubine.”

“Yes.” Cheng Yujin stood up and bowed her hands firmly, “What advice does the Empress Dowager have?

” The prince’s concubine must obey the rules everywhere, so as not to lose the face of the royal family. Back then, when the prince was lost, Aijia and the emperor were worried and worried every day. The emperor’s heart knot. Since you asked for the marriage personally, you must be very in line with the prince’s heart. In this way, you can spread branches and leaves to the royal family as soon as possible.”

Speaking of children, Cheng Yujin was not easy to pick up and had to pick it up. She

just lowered her head and said, “I remember the teachings of the Empress Dowager.”

She said that she remembered it, but she did not say that she could do it.

Empress Dowager Yang drooped her eyes and said, “You are a prince concubine after all, and you are different from ordinary princesses. Sooner or later, this palace will be handed over to you to assist in the affairs of the six palaces. You have to learn to do it slowly.”

This can’t be said of goodwill, since ancient times, it is difficult to be a prince, too weak, not too outrageous.

The emperor is now at its peak in the spring and autumn, and Empress Dowager Yang said that the palace will be handed over to the crown princess sooner or later, and it will be passed on to the emperor’s ears. What does the emperor think?

Cheng Yujin responded very quickly, and immediately answered: “I am ashamed to be worthy of it. It is the Empress’s responsibility to lead the Six Palaces, and others’ meddling is a transgression. The empress is also in full bloom, and there are many things that my son does not understand. I want to ask the empress dowager and empress to teach my son how to do things. In the future, I will also ask the empress dowager and empress to teach me.”

Cheng Yujin’s words “knowingly committed crimes” It was used skillfully, and the position of the East Palace was expressed in a few words.

The latter words will undoubtedly kick the ball back to Queen Yang and the Queen Mother, because no matter what she does, she “learned from the Queen Mother”.

Empress Dowager Yang was displeased after hearing this, but Cheng Yujin’s remarks were so high-sounding, Empress Dowager Yang couldn’t figure out what was wrong with her.

Empress Dowager Yang insisted, “It’s okay, even the eldest daughter-in-law of an ordinary family should learn to help her mother-in-law housekeeping, not to mention that you are a crown prince? Just as the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, these days, you will help the queen. Take care

of the Mid-Autumn Festival.” The

Queen Mother Yang was determined to embarrass Cheng Yujin. Since the other party took the initiative to make a move, Cheng Yujin had no reason to avoid it.

She bowed unhurriedly and said, “Since it’s the Queen Mother’s order, you should obey it.”

Cheng Yujin labeled this matter as Queen Mother Yang’s order in one sentence, not her overstepping, but obeying Queen Mother Yang’s Request, this is filial piety.

Empress Dowager Yang frowned. After a battle, Empress Dowager Yang did not take advantage of her tongue, which made Empress Dowager Yang very depressed.

She thought, it’s just a clever tongue, and managing the harem is not just a matter of lip service.

Especially Cheng Yujin is famous but has no power. It is impossible to hold the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet well. When Cheng Yujin made a mistake at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, the Queen Mother Yang would like to see how the East Palace will end.

It’s just that the Empress Dowager Yang was not happy after being told by others.

She deliberately left Cheng Yujin for a while, but Cheng Yujin was always neither arrogant nor impetuous, no strange appearance, well-behaved and regular, and there was nothing inappropriate.

Empress Dowager Yang looked left and right and couldn’t find a single fault, so she could only send her away helplessly: “Prince Concubine, since you have entered the palace, you should serve the prince as your main purpose. You are not needed here in the Aijia, so you should go back first.

Cheng Yujin declined for a few words, and slowly saluted, “Yes. I’m leaving.”

After

Cheng Yujin left, Dou Xiyin frowned and asked, “Grandma, why did you just let her go back?”
