The next morning, there was neither a big court meeting nor a small court meeting. Cheng Shi and his wife were about to enter the palace to resign after they were dressed neatly. Who knew that Xiao Huangmen, who announced the decree, came up again, indicating that the emperor was again Tell their family of three to go to the palace.

"...I don't know what your Majesty's Xuanchen and others are doing?" Father Cheng said that he was a little bit overwhelmed by such frequent holy grace.

"Xiaowei Cheng is delighted to be your son-in-law, don't you need to see your in-laws?" Xiao Huangmen was full of smiles, no longer the normal appearance of yesterday, "Your Majesty is kind and considerate, and today I will also bring Ling Houxuan into the palace, how wonderful The parents of your two families met and explained the matter clearly in front of His Majesty, and the rest of the matter would be easy to handle."

Cheng Shi and Madam Xiao both thought in their hearts: How much the emperor is afraid of the change of marriage, even the two families You are not allowed to meet on your own. At this point, they could only dig out the daughter who was still lying in the bed, wash it, and pull it out to show Xiao Huangmen.

Shao Shang, who was stuffed into the carriage in a daze, still muttered to himself: "Father and mother just go... Why did you call me, didn't mother say not to enter the palace until you have learned the etiquette, otherwise it will be annoying again. Laugh..."

Cheng Shi said solemnly: "I changed my mind for my father, and it is still up to you to open your mouth to reject the marriage today, and your parents to help you."

Shaoshang immediately sobered up: "I'm going to say it myself? This, this Is it appropriate? Should n't this kind of big event be the responsibility of the elders?"

"Why is it inappropriate?" Cheng Shi said, "It's not for my father to break off the marriage."

Shaoshang said angrily, "I knew that my father was reluctant to give up this marriage. Just go and marry Ling Budo by yourself!"

"If you were a father and a daughter, I would marry such a good husband-in-law twenty times at once without beating you. Believe it or not!"

"Father . You 're a fool, you only see the immediate benefits!"

"You're an unfilial daughter, you don't have eyes at all!"

——As usual, this unnutritious exchange ended with Director Xiao's low voice.

Before the three of them could start a new topic, they heard the sound of the gate outside the car opening the handover sign. The trip was so short this time that the three Cheng family members were stunned. After inquiring, they found out that this time they did not enter from the south main gate and then pass through the entire palace city as yesterday, but entered the north palace from the upper west gate and went straight to the queen's residence. Changqiu Palace.

After taking a shortcut, Shao Shang returned to the apse of Changqiu Palace, where she had faced the saint yesterday. When she knelt down and worshipped, she saw the emperor and the empress sitting on their heads in their uniforms. In addition to the maid of the Huangmen Palace, there was also a middle-aged scholar-official with good looks and demeanor sitting in the middle.

The middle-aged scholar-officer turned his head to the Cheng Shi couple with a smile and nod, and looked at the small business without any trace. Seeing her innocent behavior and neglect of etiquette, his eyes couldn't help showing surprise and doubt. I have never seen this kind of look before. The last time I was in the imperial tent of Tu Gaoshan, the emperor had the same look when he saw him for the first time - she immediately understood who this person was.

I don't know what the monarchs and ministers said before the Cheng family came. The emperor seemed a little tired, and the queen smiled and pointed to the middle-aged scholar-officer: "This is Zisheng's father, Chengyang Hou Lingyi..." and pointed to the three Cheng family members. Said, "This is Cheng Xiaowei and his wife, as well as Shao Shang... You guys meet each other." Father Cheng and Father

Ling quickly bowed to each other, and Mrs. Xiao tugged at her dumb daughter and followed behind. body salute.

"...Zisheng is not too young anymore. Even if my princes are younger than Zicheng, they all have concubines and children, but Zisheng is still alone." The emperor said, "I am always worried, if I can't arrange it well. Zisheng's life-long event, in a hundred years, I am afraid that I will not have the face to see the Huo family brother."

Ling Yi lowered his head and listened, and when he heard the word "Huo", he moved slightly, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is really embarrassing to talk about it. Zisheng is the son of the minister, and the minister should have been concerned about this, but His Majesty is so kind, not only has he nurtured Zisheng carefully over the years, but he has also given him important responsibilities

. I really want to say that Uncle Ling, you really put gold on your face, as if the emperor cares so much about Ling, and he looks at your face, for the sake of the dead Huo clan!

It is estimated that everyone here also has this idea, but the emperor is kind from his mouth to his heart. After his lips moved slightly, he said nothing. After Ling Yi finished his long speech of gratitude, he said: "The marriage is settled, Cheng Xiaowei. Honest, loyal, courageous, wise and prudent..."

Shaoshang's mouth crooked, and he said in his heart: The Cheng family has no support club, it is not a resource cafe, and even a fan group can't be formed, except for a ten thousand-year-old CP who is almost transparent, the emperor, you too I can only praise Dad Cheng's personal qualities.

"You have seen it too, Mrs. Cheng is filial, kind and easy-going, and she is married to Zisheng..." The emperor seemed to purse his lips slightly, and Shaoshang took it to him in his heart. Kua is so embarrassing, it's like a navy who doesn't have enough money.

"...It's worthy of being Zisheng's beautiful wife!" The emperor praised with difficulty, and then concluded, "You don't have to worry about the marriage, the queen prepared it for Zisheng many years ago..." The

queen looked at him with a smile— - Ever since his adopted son was fifteen years old, the emperor has been eagerly looking forward to him marrying a wife, having children, and cooking rice. Who would have guessed that after a year, the stove was cold and the rice was growing, and the iron pot was rusted into a hollowed-out dish with thousands of flowers. The wife he has saved for his adopted son over the years is enough to marry the Cheng family three times!

"...Everything is under my watch. So, what else do you have to say."

Ling Yi was bitter in his heart, and still had to defend two sentences: "Your Majesty, Zisheng's marriage is still up to the minister..."

"—Your Majesty! "Father Cheng endured for a long time under the urging eyes of his wife and daughter. He didn't dare to intervene in the emperor's mouth. He could only intervene in the mouth of his relative

, Lao Lingtou . "Your Majesty, I have something to report to you." "Speak."

Cheng Shi took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice, "Report to Your Majesty, this minister is bold... Please resign from this marriage." As soon as these

words came out, the monarch, ministers, servants and servants in the hall were all surprised. The queen was half up and said in amazement: "Xiaowei Cheng, what did you say?" The emperor said with a calm face: "What does Cheng Qing mean by this! Is there anything that Zi Sheng is dissatisfied with?"

The Sacred Heart is displeased, and everyone can hear it. Father Cheng was trembling with fright, scolding his daughter's little friend for not worrying about it, and sweating on his forehead: "No no no, Master Ling's demeanor in heaven and human beings, Wen Tao and martial arts, just fell from the sky. Good son-in-law, there is no dissatisfaction in the minister, I almost wake up laughing from a dream! Cococo, but this daughter of the minister..."

He sighed, his tone was bitter, "The little girl is really naughty! If you can't study, you can't practice martial arts. I don't have any female virtues, and I don't cultivate my oral virtues. After thinking about it after I went back yesterday, I felt that I couldn't hide it and not report it. I will wrong Master Ling in the future

. I deeply feel that I am a really good father, and I do my best for my daughter.

Shao Shang was said to have a fiery face. Although she meant it to be self-defeating, it was still a bit difficult to be scolded in front of so many people.

Mrs. Xiao didn't feel very well. She felt that the Queen shot her surprised eyes from above, and her face was blue and white.

Ling Yi couldn't react a bit. As a father who didn't see his son a few times a year, he was used to people rushing to his son for many years. Today, he encountered such a situation. He couldn't help but look at Cheng Shi's rough face, but he didn't think it was very similar.

The emperor accepted his displeasure and looked at the little girl kneeling on the side, thinking that in fact, I also think that your daughter is a little unworthy of my adopted son, but why are you so honest. He was about to open his mouth when suddenly the little yellow door outside the hall came through Ling Buzhuan.

Everyone paused the discussion and looked up. Through the beams of morning light among the flower lattices of the palace windows, the handsome and tall young man with silver crown and plain robes came in against the light, his hair was like black ink, his skin was like snow, and his steps were slow and unhurried. With his clean and cold temperament like ice and snow, the brilliance of the morning light was also eclipsed, as if he was the only source of light.

The emperor and empress smiled unknowingly, and Ling Yi's eyes showed a look of pride and sadness. Father Cheng looked at him and felt as if he had lost 100 million yuan. He felt uneasy in his heart, and even Mrs. Xiao, who had many scruples in her heart, sighed inwardly.

Ling Budo's body undulating like a mountain ridge, he saluted the Empress and Ling Yi successively, Ling Yi's happy eyes flickered, and he said, "Okay, I haven't seen you for a long time for my father, when are you free to go home? Let's get together."

Shao Shang couldn't help but slander: what gathering, with your 'Mrs. Xu Xian' or with your future sons and daughters?

There was no need for Ling Budo to open his mouth to answer this kind of remark. He was moved by the good adoptive father of the Heavenly Dynasty and said: "Zisheng has a lot of things to do recently, just wait for the future."

Ling Yi naturally knew that this 'future' was far away, but he didn't dare to refute, he could only Bow down.

Ling Budo smiled and looked at his biological father, as if the sea was calm, and no amount of turbulence under the abyss would appear.

Shao Shang was a little strange. Although she only met the emperor for the third time today, she could faintly perceive that the emperor was really easy-going and benevolent. He was definitely not the kind of emperor with a temperamental personality. Even Old Man Wan dared to argue for his righteous brother in front of the imperial court. , Why is this Father Ling so afraid of the emperor?

The queen changed the subject and smiled: "Why is Zisheng here, I think you have already gone back."

Ling Budo stood up suddenly, took two steps to the side and sat down beside Shaoshang, then replied, "Listen. Saying that the Cheng family has entered the palace, I'll come and have a look." The

queen glanced at the two of them with a half-smiling smile, and found that the girl was as uncomfortable as a worm was thrown from her neckline, so she deliberately didn't reveal it: "Oh, so it is." The

emperor Glancing at her, she couldn't help but smile.

Ling Budo turned his head to the girl and said, "I heard Xiaowei Cheng's words just now when I was unloading my sword and shoes outside the hall. Your family wants to resign? Can you still refuse the marriage?"

Shao Shang was resisting this moment all over. It seemed that she spoke ill of people behind her back and was caught by the master. As she looked at the emperor, she smiled dryly: "This, I... I heard that if your majesty's reward is too heavy, the courtiers will often refuse one or two... "

This is actually very inappropriate, the emperor frowned slightly, thinking that this girl is really not well-bred.

Who knew that Ling Budo didn't seem to hear anything wrong, and said with a smile, "Do you think I'm a too heavy reward?"

Shao Shang was dazzled by his beautiful smile like the sun, his heart was hot, and he said with a smirk: "Isn't it, Master Ling, you are smart and capable, and your talent and appearance are like the immortals in the sky. Where can I match? If you can, of course you have to decline." The

emperor felt that this little girl was a good girl.

Ling Budo raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "I still thought that you asked your father to break off the marriage because you hated me, but that's not the case, so I can rest assured."

Shao Shang laughed stupidly: "How could it be? You are good everywhere, how can I hate you, Master Ling!" ——Such

a few sentences with no content made the two of them laugh at each other.

Including the emperor and the empress, it was the first time that everyone saw Ling Wudoubt and Shaoshang together, especially Cheng Shi and Mrs. Xiao. Although they had heard that their daughter had been in contact with Ling Wudo many times before, they could not agree. I don't know how the two get along.

The emperor was still able to calm down, but Cheng Shi's mentality collapsed. He watched his daughter be coaxed by the most beautiful man in the capital like a little fool with a smile, and felt deeply that he had been betrayed - this little enemy, since he was with others So happy and harmonious, why do you quit? ! Playing with your old father!

Mrs. Xiao couldn't stand it anymore, she covered her mouth and coughed softly, "Young businessman, don't be rude, this is in front of the royal family."

Shaoshang suddenly sobered up, uh, what is she here for today, oh By the way, she is here to quit. She glanced at the emperor cautiously, and said timidly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, can the ministers and daughters speak to Lord Ling?" The emperor cursed at you, saying that you have already said what you asked, but he said with

a serious face: "But it doesn't matter."

Shang summoned up his courage and said to the tall young man beside him, "I don't hate Master Ling, but I really don't deserve you. After returning home yesterday, our whole family was tossing and turning and thinking hard. Thinking bitterly..." The

emperor couldn't help but closed his eyes when he heard 'Meditating and thinking hard'.

"My parents and my mother have been away for ten years. I have been neglected since I was a child, I can't recognize a few words, I haven't read a few books, and I'm rude and ignorant. My temperament is not good! Sir, you may not know it. I've quarreled with her several times! Mom, is that right?" Shaoshang tried his best to blackmail himself, and asked Madam Xiao for circumstantial evidence.

Mrs. Xiao felt that her face was lost today, and it was not bad, so she admitted it with a wry smile: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the so-called family shame is not public, if it is not for fear that their husband and wife will have a rift in the future, and they will turn against each other and become enemies. I don't want to expose my children's shortcomings. They all say that children are always good at home, but if Master Ling's talent and appearance are matched with a little girl, this, this is really..."

"What a waste!" Shaoshang quickly added to her.

Mrs. Xiao glared at her.

Shao Shang was stunned inexplicably, she hadn't said 'flowers on cow dung' yet. She hurriedly continued to work hard: "Lord Ling, look, the little girl is really not humble, I'm telling the truth! This marriage is really not a good match!"

Cheng Shi felt relieved when he saw that his daughter said that she almost exerted her strength to breastfeed. some.

"So that's it." Ling Budo thought about it, nodded and said, "...How did the pastries taste yesterday?"

Shao Shang was a little confused, and said in a hurry, "Ah, it's very delicious, the chef in the palace is really good, Even if it's cold, it's sweet and soft, I've never eaten such delicious pastries (since I came here)." Hey, why did the topic end here.

Ling Budo smiled and said, "That's not the cook in the palace, it's from my mansion. If you like it, I'll send someone to your mansion."

Shao Shang just showed a bit of joy when he heard the emperor cough. . Ling Budo glanced at the emperor and smiled, "His Majesty specially gave me this chef who is good at making pastries, just because I was afraid that I would have no time to eat, so I'd better bring some food with me."

Cheng Shi and Mrs. Xiao got together . Trembling, afraid that her daughter would not know what to do with this chef, she hurriedly said, 'No need to~! '

The queen had been sitting quietly, but she shook her head with a smile. She whispered a few words in the emperor's ear, and then left without saying a word. Before leaving, she glanced at Cheng Shi and his wife. There was a bit of pity in his eyes.

Cheng Shi and Mrs. Xiao glanced at each other, suspecting that they were wrong.

Ling Budo ignored them, there was an indifferent power in his warm tone, and the smile on his face was a bit scary: "Since you don't hate me, this marriage is settled. Zifeiyu Anzhi Yu Zhile, I think you'll be fine, don't mention it after the resignation."

Shao Shang was a little stunned, and the other party said this for the sake of it, it seems that the topic is over - so, what is she today? What are you here for? She looked at her parents blankly, and found that both Father Cheng and Mrs. Xiao were sullen.

"Your Majesty." Ling Budo raised his head and bowed his hands, "I plan to take the young merchant to the General He's Mansion to pay homage, and visit the orphans and widows of the He Mansion and An Chengjun by the way. You can see it." The

emperor nodded: "This matter It's up to you."

"What, what?!" Shao Shang was caught off guard, almost jumped up, and roared, "What are you talking about?! Why am I going to where! I don't want to go, I don't want to go!" What kind of international joke are you making when that little Bichiming robbed her fiancé!

The daughter's words were rude, but Cheng Shi and his wife were silent and gave up the treatment.

Cheng Shigeng applauded secretly in his heart: Don't you mind your adoptive father and son? Well, now I'll show you how bad-tempered and unruly this little friend is!

The emperor calmly smoothed his sleeves and looked at it leisurely, only Ling Yi was dumbfounded.

"Why don't you go?" Ling Bu questioned.

"Why?!" Shao Shang felt that this question was like asking why humans don't want to eat shit, "I just quit the Lou family's marriage, and then the Lou family is about to marry An Chengjun, this, this, this is too much I'm sorry..."

Ling Budo raised Ying Ting's long eyebrows and said, "What's so embarrassing about that?"

"I just gave her my fiance!" Shao Shang was about to go crazy, she felt like she was talking to aliens.

"I didn't give it to her." Ling Budo corrected, "I gave it to the righteousness."

Shao Shang is stupid, is this a big difference.

Ling Budo stared at her: "I'm afraid the world will think that you are just right, so how do you ask An Chengjun to deal with yourself. The Cheng family broke the promise and quit the Lou family's marriage contract, is it to embarrass An Chengjun to show his family. Virtue? Of course not. We all admire General He and all the sons for their righteousness for the country and the people, and hope that Jun An Cheng and the remaining family of the He clan can cheer up and have a smooth future. In the future, I will wait for the young son He to revive the family style when he becomes an adult. So, we not only go to the Hefu to pay homage, but also to go there generously. At that time, you have to tell An Chengjun that you and she now have your own marriage, and you don't need to be embarrassed or apologetic. It is God's will, in the future, you and your children will live a good life, and you will live up to the grace of your parents!"

Shao Shang seemed to be wrapped in a large ball of wool, stunned, unable to break free.

She went to see her parents at a loss, and found that Father Cheng opened his mouth wide, and Director Xiao was speechless. She had to go to see the emperor, who knew that the emperor had a calm expression and smiled kindly at her.

"I, I..." Shaoshang has no relatives, so he can only help himself in a hurry, "I still need to learn and read in the afternoon! I can't get married if I don't understand anything!"

"You don't have to worry about that." Ling Bu With a gentle smile, "Yesterday, His Majesty has asked the Empress to entrust you. After a while, you will come to the palace to learn some highs and lows from the Empress."

"What?! You have to come to the palace!" Every time he struggled, he was bound more tightly, and screamed, "This, this is unnecessary!"

"You didn't say that you couldn't read, didn't read much, and didn't know the etiquette. If you don't understand and marry, why don't you study hard?" Ling Budo easily shot back.

Shao Shang was speechless, and begged for help to see his parents - Mom and Dad, I don't know how to do this!

Ling Budo smiled at Madam Xiao, "It's not the ability to despise Madam. However, if you are demure and thorough in manners, the Empress is one of the best in the city."

Cheng Shi's mouth opened wider and wider, and Madam Xiao twitched the corners of her mouth stiffly. Qiang smiled and said, "That's natural, natural."

Ling Budo lowered his head and smiled at the girl: "Don't worry, the empress can't be more kind, even if you don't study well, you won't be punished. Don't you like it?"

Shao Shang glared at him - I like your father's menopause syndrome!

Mrs. Xiao knew that the whole line was defeated today, and that it would be useless for the remnants of the defeated soldiers to stay, so she sighed: "Lord Ling, it's already in the sky, why don't you go to the mansion tomorrow." trick.

"Exactly." Shao Shang was so grateful to Mrs. Xiao that he was about to cry, "I haven't used my lunch yet."

"No, where are we going to have lunch." Ling Budo said.

"What?!" Shao Shang forgot to even stand in front of the imperial palace, she shouted, feeling that her hair was about to stand up, as if she had hallucinations in front of her eyes, "People are having a funeral, but you are going to have dinner. ?!"

She suspected that she was hallucinating for a while, and then suspected that her brain was not enough. "What's more, in the situation of the He family, maybe they only prepared some cold food!" What to eat!

"So, I have sent over several chefs who are good at cooking vegetarian soups and rice." Ling Budo smiled, "We went there at this time, just in time to have lunch with the He clan, and we had a good conversation during the banquet. ."

Shao Shang watched him for a long time, one breath stuck in his chest and almost assembled into a shock wave that spurted out on the spot - going to someone who was having a funeral, and even bringing a chef to the door to eat, very good, this is really a wild and uninhibited love. In the era of freedom, who can tell her who is from the modern age!

Cheng Shi closed his mouth that was too big and sore, but he didn't know what to say. Mrs. Xiao also closed her mouth - she finally saw it, Ling Budoubt that this person's will is as strong as stone, and what he wants to do must be achieved. At the same time, this person is meticulous and thoughtful, and once he thinks of one thing, it is invincible and impeccable. The entire army has been wiped out today, raise the flag and surrender.

Shaoshang looked at her parents, looked at the emperor, and even looked at Ling Yi. She found that every road was blocked, and every word she said was asking for trouble. Ling Budo pulled away from the inner hall.

After the two left, the emperor glanced at the silent Cheng Shi and his wife, cleared his throat, and said calmly: "Cheng Aiqing, why did you say you want to break off the marriage just now?"

Cheng Shi replied mechanically: "Then what, little girl... ...that naughty..."

"It's okay, just don't despise Zisheng." The emperor smiled kindly, showing great tolerance, "Then the marriage will be done as I said just now. When it's done, the ministers will retire."

— - As the emperor and adoptive father, after so many years of forcing marriage to achieve nothing, the courtiers and clans often think that they are kind-hearted and soft-hearted. From a young age, Wen Tao, Wu, and scheming were taught by hand, but Shuzi took the lead in applying every move and style to himself. When I think about it, I was in tears.

However, seeing the appearance of Cheng Shi and his wife being unrepentant today, the emperor finally felt a little more comfortable.

...

Cheng Shi and Mrs. Xiao walked silently in the spacious palace alley, walking slowly like an old man.

It wasn't until he got into his own carriage that Cheng Shi remembered the slightly pitiful look in the empress's eyes before she left, he patted his thigh hard, and suddenly realized: "No wonder, when I talked about how stubborn and stubborn curls were, the emperor was not in a hurry at all, it turned out to be the case. !"

Mrs. Xiao continued to be silent.

"Okay, now we don't have to worry about curling up and causing Lingbuxuan to get into a big disaster. How can she turn over the palm of others' hands!" Cheng Shi sighed.

Mrs. Xiao sighed and said in a low voice, "From today onwards, we are still worried about our daughter." Against an opponent like Ling Budo, her daughter will only suffer.

——The biggest joke today is that they thought their daughter was a big killer and worried about hurting others, but they found out that they were nuclear weapons.
