Chapter 305 Fengxian Palace

Because of the drunken thing,
Cheng Shaoshang was a little embarrassed to see Jing Haoying these two days,
In fact, Jing Haoying is even more embarrassed than her,

The two are in the same mood, so they both treat each other twice as well, and they get along well after a while.

……

So a few more days passed,
These days are the days when the local ministers come to Beijing to report on their duties.
Jing Haoying has also been quite busy these few days. He has met many officials who came to Beijing from Bingzhou one after another.

Once, at the Tianjia restaurant, I met Lord Tian, ​​the prefect of Shangdang, and met the third princess again.
This time the three princesses are dressed much richer than usual. Gold, silver and jewels are hung all over their bodies. Under the sunlight, they are simply dazzling. The fabrics of the clothes are also more luxurious than before. It is also patterned with gold thread, and the color is very bright. It is obviously a new dress that has just been made recently.

The third princess was showing off with a few noble ladies. When she saw Jing Haoying, she hurried over to show off her attire, and kept asking Jing Haoying to comment.
Seeing her like this, Jing Haoying couldn't help shaking his head. The money came from a wrong path, and this guy didn't know how to restrain himself. He showed off like this, and it seemed that her unlucky days were not far away.

Things happened faster than Jing Haoying imagined,
The next day was the anniversary of Huo Chong's death. As usual, the emperor would offer sacrifices in Fengxian Hall.

Wen Miao came early to inform Jing Haoying and Cheng Shaoshang to enter the palace to pay homage together.
In fact, Wen Miao also wants to make one at home, the key is that her status is not suitable, after all, she is Princess Jing, how can she offer sacrifices to someone else? Ying and Cheng Shaoshang went over to burn a stick of incense and chat for comfort.

In fact, Jing Haoying participated in a lot of them in the past, and he was familiar with the road. He and Cheng Shaoshang chose a few plain clothes and went to the palace.

Because it's still early,

Cheng Shaoshang thought about going to Changqiu Palace to meet Xuanhou first, Jing Haoying naturally obeyed,
After all, according to the arrangement, the memorial ceremony should start in the afternoon after the banquet in Changqiu Palace at noon.

When the two came to Changqiu Palace,
The prince, princess, and five princesses are all there,

Several people greeted each other, and after a little pleasantries,
After the announcement, he took Cheng Shaoshang to ask him about his health. Now that Cheng Shaoshang is married, she can't accompany her every day like in the past. She really misses her very much.

Seeing the situation, the fifth princess felt a little jealous in her heart, and said in a strange way:
"The queen mother is really eccentric,
Just now when our sons and daughters were here, you were not like this,
Why is it that you are so enthusiastic when your cousin Fang comes in, to the point that we sons and daughters are not close to you! "

In fact, she didn't have any other thoughts, it was just a little uncomfortable in her heart. After all, when she came, the queen would nod her head slightly and say a few more words, unlike seeing Cheng Shaoshang, holding someone's hand don't let go,
Under normal circumstances, Cheng Shaoshang would have rebelled immediately, but she didn't want to embarrass the queen in front of the queen, so she didn't speak.

The princess really wanted to win over Jing Haoying and Cheng Shaoshang, and when she heard what the fifth princess said, she quickly said:

"Fifth sister, don't say that, it's really great that Shaoshang's sister and the queen mother hit it off the most.
Besides, Zixiu grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he is no different from us sons and daughters.
Younger sister Shaoshang is naturally also a child of the queen mother, so she should be close! "

When the fifth princess heard this, seeing Jing Haoying's uneasy expression, she quickly nodded and smiled awkwardly.

"Yes, yes! I am talking nonsense."

Seeing that she spoke soft words, everyone didn't care, because everyone knew that she didn't act properly.

Everyone chatted for a while, and other people came one after another,
When there are too many people, things get chaotic, especially the fifth princess and the third princess.

Fortunately, Emperor Wen came very quickly, so the two of them naturally did not dare to be presumptuous in front of Emperor Wen, and immediately behaved themselves.

As soon as Emperor Wen came, the time was almost up.
The banquet begins, everyone takes their seats,

Emperor Wen only said some mournful words at the beginning, and then he just sat there thinking, recalling the past,

When other people saw Emperor Wen like this, they were not easy to whisper to each other, and they all ate in silence.
Because of the special day, the meals are all light and clean, and there are not many cooking methods at this time, without the addition of meat dishes, the taste is really average.

At least Jing Haoying hurriedly ate this time without taste.

Fortunately, after a while, Emperor Wen came back to his senses, sighed and said:

"Well, every day, I can still think of the past,

Brother Huo's voice, face and smile are still in front of my eyes, but there is an eternal separation between heaven and man, and this man has passed away! "

While talking, he looked at the Chong children below, all of them were husband and wife, only when Ling Buyi was alone, he sighed heavily again,

"Zicheng, you can't delay any longer.
Now you are in your twenties, and you have not yet married and given birth to a child. After a while, I don't know how to explain to Brother Huo when I see him! "

What Emperor Wen said was sincere, and Ling Buyi was very moved when he heard it.

The crown prince and the third prince are fine, the fifth princess and the third princess are all disdainful, they actually look down on Ling Buyi deep down in their hearts, and think that even if Huo Chong has made great achievements, Ling Buyi is just Huo Chong's nephew , and he is not his own son, so he would not be treated like this by the emperor,
Otherwise, when I was a child, everyone would exclude Ling Buyi, because they looked down on him.

In addition, they themselves are rebellious, even if Huo Chong himself came, I guess this would not make them look up, let alone Ling Buyi,

Of course, Ling Buyi is more capable now, and his power and status are not ordinary, and everyone will give him some face in the open.

Empress Xuan felt the same as Emperor Wen, and was also worried, so she couldn't help saying:
"That's right, Zicheng, you really should start a family, and you're not too young anymore!"

The second princess, the fifth concubine and others saw what the emperor and empress said, and they all helped to promote it.

Jing Haoying's ears were callused after hearing these, and he was too lazy to listen more. Why not whisper to his wife, approaching Cheng Shaoshang and asked in a low voice:
"Shaoshang, it will be over in a while, let's not rush home,
Going to Tian's restaurant for a bar, I heard that there is a new dish, let's try it? "

Cheng Shaoshang was also a little moved when he heard it, but thinking that Wen Miao and the old concubine were at home, it seemed a bit inappropriate to wait for someone to go out by himself, so he shook his head,
"Forget it, let's go home and eat.

Today is Huo Hou's memorial service, mother and concubine may still be waiting for us to go back to ask questions, if we go back late, I'm afraid it will be bad! "

Jing Haoying thought about it and understood Cheng Shaoshang's difficulties. After all, she is a daughter-in-law different from herself, so she couldn't help but patted Cheng Shaoshang's hand lightly.
"Okay, I will listen to you!"

Seeing that Cheng Shaoshang is so sensible now, Jing Haoying felt more and more regretful about the things he did a few days ago. After all, he was frivolous and let others down a bit. For Shaoshang, the first thing I thought of was the Cheng family. Cheng Shi and Xiao Yuanyi were fine for the time being. Cheng Shi had just been promoted.

As for Cheng Song, that boy and Wan Qiqi are about to cross the road, but the two haven't told the two adults yet, after all, it seems that the Wan family has no hope of having a son, and they want Wan Qiqi to recruit a son-in-law , Wan Qiqi told Cheng Shaoshang about this matter,

Only Cheng Shaogong and Cheng Yang, who haven't settled yet and don't know the specific situation, can't help but ask:
"Shaoshang, how are the third brother and cousin doing recently?

I haven't visited them these days, the third brother still doesn't want to be an official? "

Cheng Shaogong really didn't intend to become an official. When Cheng Song was promoted before, Jing Haoying actually hinted to Cheng Shaogong, but he didn't seem to be interested in these things at all, so he rejected Jing Haoying.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Shaoshang said helplessly:

"That's right, my third brother is still obsessed with divination all day long,

I don't know why he is so obsessed with this, he doesn't want to think about his official career at all, you said that if he fails in anything, which girl will fall in love with him in the future,
As for Sister Yangyang, my mother is showing her Zhang Luoxiang. After all, my sister is not young, she is one year older than me! "

Jing Haoying nodded involuntarily when he heard it. If Cheng Shaogong was not happy with his official career, he would have no choice but to look back and see if he could help find some divination books and give them away. As for Cheng Yang,
When Tu Gaoshan offered sacrifices to heaven in this life, after Jing Haoying and Wenxiu Jun made such a fuss, it seems that the little Banhou fell in love with Cheng Yang, at least Jing Haoying didn’t hear about it, and he didn’t see Ban Jia go to Cheng’s house to look for it. ,
It's just a pity that Yuan Shan didn't seem to like Cheng Yang when he saw that guy, otherwise he would definitely help out. Although that kid is arrogant, his character is actually very good.

After thinking about it, only Cheng Shaogong and Cheng Yang are temporarily unavailable, why not hold some kind of banquet and invite some handsome men and women, let them see if they can meet someone they like,

So he whispered this thought to Cheng Shaoshang,

Cheng Shaoshang was really happy when he heard that, and said happily:

"This method is good, my third brother is fine, he is an optimist,
My sister, she only listens to my mother, no matter what my mother finds for her, she will only say yes, I still hope she can find someone she likes!

You have a good idea, when the time comes you invite more,
I don't believe it, there are still one or two pleasing to the eye! "

Jing Haoying saw that Cheng Shaoshang was happy, and he was also happy.
"Okay, then I'll send a post to the big families to discuss this matter, and you can tell your mother about it later, so that the third brother and cousin can also prepare!"

"Yeah, I'll talk about it later!" Cheng Shaoshang also nodded excitedly. Married women love to gossip about the marriages of unmarried men and women.

The fifth prince was sitting next to Jing Haoying. The two of them spoke a little loudly just now, and he listened to it, so he licked his face and said:

"Cousin, when the time comes, give me an invitation as well, and I'll join in the fun!"

Before Jing Haoying could speak, Cheng Shaoshang looked speechless and said:
"Fifth prince, you really have a big face,

You are married, what are you going to do?

Could it be that your old man still wants to find one? "

She has lived in the palace for a long time and naturally knows the fifth prince very well, this guy is also very out of tune, he likes to do some ridiculous things to show himself, but he is not bad,

Cheng Shaoshang was only joking when he said that. Of course, we can’t just invite unmarried people to the banquet. That’s a bit too specific. Married people will also be invited.

The fifth prince was not embarrassed at all when he heard it, but instead said:
"It's not bad, look at my bride, what's the point of looking at it every day,
Looking for one or two that look fresh, aren't you, cousin! "As he spoke, he looked at Jing Haoying.

Jing Haoying has been more sensitive to this topic recently. After all, he did something wrong. Hearing this, he immediately said:

"You can pull it down,

I just need my family to do less business, and I advise you not to mess with flowers and grass.

Siblings and sisters are still good, you should also live in peace, don't turn around and become a slave, and cause any trouble again! "The fifth prince concubine is still very disciplined, knowing that her husband has no hope, so she has always done her duty, which is much better than the prince concubine.

Speaking of which, Jing Haoying and the fifth prince are the easiest to get along with, and there is no need to think about anything, because this guy will have no hope, not only does he have no mother to rely on, but he himself has no ambitions, so the two of them get along relatively casually of.

As soon as he heard about the matter of Fan, the fifth prince immediately withered away, his expression was very drawn, and he muttered:
"Royal father doesn't like me at all, I guess Fan will not give me any good place to be rich!" Then he looked at Jing Haoying and said flatteringly:

"Cousin, we will have to support each other in the future. You will be the most affluent place in Bingzhou in Taiyuan County in the future, which is not bad. If my younger brother is in short supply, you have to help!"

Jing Haoying rolled his eyes when he heard the words,

"I said you are really worthless, but you are also the son of my uncle, and my uncle only has you three princes, and he doesn't have many heirs. Don't worry, you will definitely be close by when the time comes, and you may be better off than me! At that time, my cousin, I might have to go to your place to fight the autumn breeze!" Originally, there were two other princes who died in infancy, so now there are only three adult princes, which are actually quite rare.

Cheng Shaoshang saw that the two were begging each other for things like children, so he suddenly chuckled, but immediately realized that this occasion was inappropriate, so he quickly covered his mouth.

Emperor Wen had noticed the trio's small movements a long time ago, but he was teaching Ling Buyi and ignored it. Now Cheng Shaoshang was so happy that he had to give the three of them a look. Fortunately, in his eyes, Jing Haoying Compared with Cheng Shaoshang and the likes of the three princesses, they are considered "sensible and well-behaved", otherwise he might have to reprimand him.

Xuan Hou also saw the actions of the three of them, but she was much more gentle, and just looked at everyone lovingly, signaling not to mess around.

The three of them also felt the gaze of the Empress, so they immediately behaved themselves and listened carefully.
I only heard that Emperor Wen was giving Ling Buyi an ultimatum,

"Zicheng, it's okay this time,

But next time, before your uncle pays homage, you must find me a bride,

Otherwise, I will never agree! "Maybe because he felt that his own weight was not enough, this kid didn't necessarily care, so he immediately added another sentence,
"Even your uncle can't agree, so you can figure it out yourself!"

Ling Buyi heard that Emperor Wen had said so, and he could only agree superficially. For him, revenge was the first priority, and he felt that if he didn't take revenge, he would be even more ashamed to see his 'uncle'.

Emperor Wen nodded Ling Buji's opinion, and immediately became happy, but immediately thought that today is Brother Huo's death day, and it is always inappropriate to laugh, so he quickly controlled his expression,
"Okay, Zicheng, let's make a deal then,
When we offer incense to Brother Huo later, we must tell Brother Huo and let him listen too! "

……

After the banquet, everyone came to Fengxian Hall together. In fact, not only Huo Chong's spiritual tablet was placed here, but also many loyal ministers and generals who sacrificed their lives.
It's just that these people's status is not as high as that of Huo Chong, and they are not as deep as Huo Chong and Emperor Wen. It was built by Wendi and celebrities alone in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. It is not only to express their grief, but also to win people's hearts.

Not long after everyone arrived, Concubine Yue also arrived. Although she didn't participate in the family banquet, she would attend Huo Chong's sacrifice. After all, they were old acquaintances from the same place, so they should come to offer a stick of incense.

This time, Cheng Shaoshang didn't sit on his knees as a servant and wait for the nobles to offer incense, but stood with Jing Haoying. After the fifth prince and his wife, it was the two of them, and then the princesses.

As usual, the emperor made a statement, saying that future generations would remember the Huo family's sacrifice, and it was their sacrifice that changed the stability of the court.

What he said was serious and emotional, but Jing Haoying observed, except for Ling Buyi and a few others who listened seriously and emotionally,
Most of the people were perfunctory about the matter, especially the mischievous duo, Xiao San'er and Xiao Wu'er, who always curled their lips when no one was paying attention, obviously they didn't want to listen to Emperor Wen's long speeches.

Otherwise, Jing Haoying thinks that these two people are the most brainless, and the fifth princess is fine, she has nothing to think about,
Is this little San'er you are too old to die, you still want to marry Ling Buyi, you don't have any sense of respect for other people's elders, go ahead and dream,

It is estimated that this guy just took a fancy to Ling Buyi's power and appearance, it is really superficial,
Ling Buyi has practiced martial arts for many years, and he has been aware of it naturally, but he didn't say anything, after all, once a year, these two people have this attitude, and he is actually used to it.

I don't bother to say much, just looking at the portrait of 'uncle', dazed,
This portrait was once drawn by Emperor Wen specially for Jing Haoying. It is very realistic, and the real person is right in front of his eyes.
Not only was Ling Buyi fascinated by watching it, but Emperor Wen had seen it many times, and he was still fascinated when he saw it again, as if Brother Huo was right in front of his eyes.
