wise man

Chapter 62

the next day.Yan Qing Palace.

"My son and Zhen'er pay respects to my father." Chen Shoushi knew that Yang Zhen couldn't save face, and he couldn't utter the word "concubine" from his mouth, so he simply said it for him.

Ji Tai snorted coldly: "Shi'er, you protect the calf too much, do you think I don't know the smallness in Yang's heart? He wants to do what he wants, but he doesn't want to follow the rules. All good things in the world are covered by him. Take it! Tell me, who gave him the courage and confidence?"

Yang Zhen's heart was shocked, and he suddenly remembered San Yiluo's words: "I didn't expect Master Yang to have many scruples. For the one you love, do you feel wronged by even a title?"

I used to think that Chen Shoushi was too upright, but wasn't he also very stubborn?For the sake of a man's dignity, he refuses to do as the Romans do, and to accept some titles that are regarded as women.

If it was the original Yang Zhen, what would he do?He thought of the scene in his dream, and felt a little sore in his heart—that young man, he should be able to give up everything for Chen Shoushi, right?

Dignity is actually built by one's own personality, can a title destroy it?For a person with a strong heart, even humiliation cannot break him.

How can I bear Chen Shoushi to be blamed for these trivial matters?

Thinking of this, he suddenly became enlightened. Between gain and loss, there is a limit to advancing and retreating. This is what Yang Zhen should look like.

He kowtowed to Ji Tai: "Royal father, it was the concubine who was rude, and the concubine knew his mistake." After he said it, he felt that it was not that difficult.

Ji Tai was stunned, his heart felt as if it had been struck by a thin electric current, and there was a sharp pain.He stared blankly at Yang Zhen, who was kneeling in front of him. The fair face of the young man showed a calm and peaceful expression. There was no humiliation or struggle, but complete acceptance.

He thought of Chen Jingting back then, who was also a proud person, if he was in Yang Zhen's position, would he be willing to compromise?

The answer, he felt, was no.

This child Yang Zhen is really different.He was humble, but he never showed humility in front of him.On the contrary, he is smart, magnanimous, and motivated, and he strives to be a person worthy of Chen Shoushi.Facts have proved that his political performance is indeed good, a hundred times better than some local officials who have a vegetarian diet.

After staying there, the corners of Ji Tai's mouth raised slightly, and he found that he really liked this boy in his heart.

"Get up, Hazel."

Yang Zhen thought he was hallucinating, but Chen Shoushi remained unchanged on the surface, but he couldn't help being ecstatic in his heart.He squeezed Yang Zhen's hand quietly, and Yang Zhen came back to his senses: "Thank you, Father."

Ji Tai had a pleasant face: "How was your wedding night?"

Yang Zhen: "?" What line is this?

Chen Shoushi looked at Yang Zhen with a smile, and almost wrote the words "prosperous in the spring breeze" on his face: "Returning to my father, my son and Zhener are like ducks in water, very happy."

Yang Zhen thought to himself: This man's face has thickened, can he be more straightforward?

Ji Tai nodded slightly, expressing her satisfaction: "Zhen'er, Your Royal Highness has worked hard for state affairs, and you have devoted yourself to serving him well these few days. Also, in front of your parents-in-law, you should also be more filial."

Yang Zhen thought again, I didn't have an easy job in Changzhou County.But he felt that Ji Tai was quite like a folk father at this time, so he obediently agreed.

Chen Shoushi said: "Father, the son-in-law and Zhen'er are already married, and it may be inconvenient to live in the palace. Can the father allow the son-in-law to live outside the palace?"

A momentary melancholy flashed across Ji Tai's eyes, that face that was always domineering and majestic now showed a somewhat gloomy color.But soon, he returned to normal, and said indifferently: "Zhen'er is still in Changzhou County, it's rare to come back several times a year, what's the inconvenience?"

Chen Shoushi had no choice but to give up.

Ji Tai then ordered them to go to the palace to greet the queen.Chen Shoushi and Yang Zhen came out, and Yang Zhen said: "Husband, since His Majesty does not allow you to live outside the palace, I want to hold a wedding ceremony for Bo Ling and Xiao Ba in Changzhou County. Come over then, okay?"

Chen Shoushi said: "Okay, but it's not 'you leave the palace', it's 'we leave the palace'. Don't forget, you are my wife now, we are one body."

Yang Zhen couldn't help but laugh, this person is really, he cares so carefully: "Yes, I made a mistake."

In Yanqing Palace, Xu Zhi walked up to Ji Tai silently: "Your Majesty, the imperial physician is here." His voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of alarming him.

Ji Tai glanced at him, and a bitter smile flickered across his mouth: "Xu Zhi, tell me, am I too weak? I left Shi'er in the palace, and I just want him to accompany me more. I fear that time will run out." many......"

"Your Majesty!" Xu Zhi said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, don't let your imagination run wild. There are so many imperial doctors in the palace, and they will always cure Your Majesty's illness."

Ji Tai shook his head and said, "Send them to come in."

Empress Liu was very polite, and she did a good job on the surface.Chen Shoushi and Yang Zhen knew each other well, but they remained calm on their faces.

Then the two returned to Duke Duanguo's mansion and met with their parents.With the "concubine" as the foreshadowing, Yang Zhen knew everything, and called herself "daughter-in-law" in front of Chen Jingting and Ruohua.The couple were very happy, and they discussed how to marry Princess Fengyu for Chen Qifeng as soon as possible.

Jinyuan.The window was open, and the sun was shining everywhere.

Chen Qifeng's eyes were full of smiles, and he looked at his brother and sister-in-law: "Little brother, I wish my elder brother and sister-in-law a happy marriage. I wanted to come to the bridal chamber yesterday, but my elder brother strictly prohibited me. You two will stay at home tonight, do you want to marry me?" The little brother called the maids and guards in the mansion to come and make a fuss?"

Bo Ling and Xiao Ba stood behind Chen Shoushi and said, "Yes, yes!"

"Dare!" Chen Shoushi glanced at them and threatened Chen Qifeng, "Second brother, if you dare to make trouble, I will make trouble ten times more when you marry Feng Yu."

Chen Qifeng made a bitter face, and said, "Why is eldest brother so overbearing? Sister-in-law, you don't care."

Yang Zhen smiled and said, "I dare not disobey him, otherwise he will divorce me when he turns around."

Chen Shoushi squeezed his face, laughed and cursed: "Naughty!"

"Brother, have you noticed? Since you have sister-in-law, no, since you and sister-in-law have made clear to each other, you have become more and more vivid and human."

Chen Shoushi raised his eyebrows and said, "Was I very ruthless before?"

"No, it's not that you are ruthless. You live like a god in the sky."

Chen Shoushi couldn't help laughing, his eyes were full of doting: "Silly boy, I didn't expect you to look at me like this."

Chen Qifeng said: "Yes, if you don't believe me, you can ask Bo Ling, Xiao Ba, and Ziyan and Wisteria."

"Really?" Chen Shoushi looked around with his eyes.The four of them laughed silently, rather reservedly.

Chen Qifeng said: "Brother, you have to thank younger brother, if there is no younger brother, you still don't know what you want."

Chen Shoushi's heart skipped a beat: "That day when we returned home, my father suddenly blamed Yang Zhen for overstepping the rules and ordered Bo Ling to send an order to punish him. Was it really you who sued?"

"Yeah, little brother saw that big brother has been keeping himself in the dark, so..." Before he could say a word, Chen Shoushi had already received a thump on the head: "You bastard, can't you tell me well? Want your sister-in-law to be beaten?!"

Chen Qifeng jumped to Yang Zhen's side and shouted: "Sister-in-law, help me!"

Yang Zhen protected him: "Husband, don't be angry, it's the second brother who helped us, we should thank him."

Chen Shoushi glared at his younger brother, but that glance was completely harmless, but the corner of his mouth couldn't hold back a smile: "You brat, there are so many tricks!"

Chen Qifeng smiled gracefully.

On September 28th, the Changzhou County Yamen was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the second prince came in person to attend the wedding of Bo Ling and Xiao Ba.Brothers Hu Tian and Hu Di, county government servants, Liu Yishou, He Yidao, Tuanlian Meng Xiang, and Gao Boming all came to drink the wedding wine.

Yang Zhen specially ordered Hu Tian to send some food and wine into the cell for Gao Zhongyang to eat.Gao Zhongyang was intoxicated with joy.

Although Chen Jingting and Chen Qifeng didn't come, they both gave generous gifts.

Bo Ling and Xiao Ba wore bright red wedding attires, and they paid homage to Chen Shoushi before going to the hall.Bo Ling said: "Without the grace of the master, the two subordinates would not be where they are today. The subordinate's life belongs to the master. In this life, in this life, and in the next life, I would like to embarrass the master."

It was the first time he called Chen Shoushi "Master".

Chen Shoushi helped him up with his own hands and said, "Today is your day of great joy. It's unlucky to talk about your brains. As long as you two live well and love each other, I will be satisfied."

Tears glistened in Xiao Ba's eyes: "Master..." His voice was choked with sobs.

"Stupid boy." Chen Shoushi jokingly said, "It's not a girl's house. When you get married, you have to cry twice to show that you don't want to be home?"

Xiao Ba blushed.

On the eighth day of October, Chen Qifeng married Princess Fengyu, and Chen Shoushi and Yang Zhen were married less than a month apart.The emperor seemed anxious to get his children's marriages done, and he fulfilled his wish.

The west wind is chilling, and the night sky at the border is empty and lonely.A glass of turbid wine is home for thousands of miles, and the Qiang tube is full of frost.

In the Xinhe Palace, Chen Shoushi woke up in the middle of the night. He dreamed that corpses lay all over the ground and blood flowed into rivers. He dreamed of iron horses and glaciers, golden swords and halberds. …

It was as if a stone had been pressed against his chest, and his breathing was difficult.

The cold moonlight shone in from outside the palace, shining on his face.In the darkness, a pair of eyes gleamed with a cool light.

On the second day, he saw Ji Tai in the Golden Palace. Ji Tai was a bit haggard, but his majesty remained the same.Thinking of the dream last night, he secretly laughed in his heart, it was just a nightmare, why was he restless?

At noon, he assisted Ji Tai to deal with the affairs of state and returned to Xinhe Palace.A black feather guard appeared in front of him and knelt down on both knees: "Master, it's urgent at the border!"

The news brought by the carrier pigeon: 20 soldiers from the scattered countries, [-] as the vanguard, have arrived at Xisan Pass.The coach is San Yiluo, the eldest prince of the San Kingdom.

How can it be?Chen Shoushi didn't understand, San Yiluo had lost his power, how could he send troops?

However, this day has really come, when two swords combine to protect the family and the country.At the beginning, what he said to Yang Zhen was finally about to be fulfilled.
