Greetings, Ninth Uncle

Huo Chang Yuan was just right. His status is neither high nor low, not so low as to be suspicious of Mian Sheng, nor so high as to have a relationship with the Yang family. Huo Chang Yuan's title was also taken care of by the emperor. After the emperor encountered him, it was reasonable to stop and ask questions.

Cheng Yujin completely understood, no wonder Cheng Yuanjing and Huo Changyuan walked together, no wonder Huo Changyuan followed Cheng Yuanjing to walk in the garden without saying a few words. The whereabouts of the garden are open, and it is not surprising to meet anyone.

Cheng Yujin silently sympathized with Huo Changyuan, a fool, who knew nothing of being used as a shield. Huo Chang Yuan definitely didn't realize that his whereabouts were being controlled by Bei Rong, and even the timing and place of his walk into the garden were unknowingly influenced by Cheng Yuanjing. And Cheng Yujin and Cheng Yumo appear here, it is a coincidence, not a coincidence.

Mrs. Cheng also wanted to use the open platform of the garden to let Zhai Yanlin see Cheng Yujin. Obviously, Mrs. Cheng also knows that Cheng Yujin is very good as a facade. Whether it is a man or a woman, she will only be more satisfied when she sees Cheng Yujin herself. Mrs. Cheng arranged the meeting by herself. Who knew the timing of Cheng Yujin's arrival in the garden happened to coincide with the timing arranged by Cheng Yuanjing.

Huo Changyuan and Cheng Yumo were husband and wife, so they would naturally go together after meeting, so Cheng Yujin also booked a time and a place, and became a part of the face saint.

Cheng Yujin sighed silently, her luck today is too mysterious. Cheng Yumo is Huo Changyuan's wife, Cheng Yujin is Mrs. Hou's sister, and Cheng Yuanjing is the ninth uncle of the two. The four of them appear in the garden without being obtrusive and reasonable. They are more disguised than Huo Changyuan alone. better. This is also the reason why Cheng Yuanjing didn't stop Huo Changyuan from seeing Cheng Yumo just now.

Everyone bowed their heads and saluted, and when they noticed the emperor approaching, their bodies fell even lower. When the emperor walked in front of Cheng Yuanjing, Cheng Yujin felt that the emperor's footsteps stopped obviously.

Cheng Yujin lowered her eyes and stared silently at the gap on the ground, not looking at the golden dragon embroidery pattern with her teeth and claws in front of her. The eunuch had already arranged another pavilion, and all the items of the Cheng family were removed and replaced with a set of bright lights.

The emperor regained his senses in a moment and continued to walk forward. After he sat down, he said very accommodatingly: "I don't want to make a lot of noise on this trip, and you don't have to be restrained, you all get up."

Huo Chang Yuan stood up in awe. After he stood up, he still lowered his head and did not dare to glance at him casually. Cheng Yumo's face turned pale, and she followed Huo Chang Yuan firmly, hiding half of her body behind Huo Chang Yuan.

The emperor looked very easy-going, like a gentle elder, and asked, "I remember you, has the Huo family's title been established now?"

Huo Chang Yuan did not expect the emperor to be so kind. After so long, he still remembered the Huo family title. Huo Chang Yuan was overwhelmed and said, "Reporting to the sage, the title of the Marquis of Jingyong has been confirmed. The minister is grateful to the sage for mercy!"

The emperor nodded with a smile. In fact, he already knew about this matter, and mentioning it now is just a conversation.

Sure enough, as the emperor said, his eyes naturally fell on other people: "Are these people your relatives?"

Cheng Yumo, dressed as a newlywed, snuggled up behind Huo Chang Yuan, and it was not difficult to guess her identity. Huo Chang Yuan felt that the emperor was too easy-going today, and he even asked about his family affairs. Huo Chang Yuan was frightened, and cautiously introduced: "Xie Sheng is worried, this minister is flattered. This is the wife of the minister, this is..."

Huo Chang Yuan said that he wanted to introduce the remaining people one by one. When his palm reached Cheng Yuanjing, Cheng Yuanjing took a step to the side, avoiding Huo Changyuan's instructions, and cupped his hands and said, "My minister Cheng Yuanjing, see Your Majesty. I wish Your Majesty the Holy Body Kangtai, May the world be peaceful."

The emperor's eyes were finally able to fall on Cheng Yuanjing's body openly. Hearing these two words, his eyes were sore, and he almost burst into tears. Since the eighth year of Jianwu, the father and son had to live on their own, and the emperor had not listened to Cheng Yuanjing for 14 years. Every year on New Years and birthdays, Cheng Yuanjing would personally write a congratulatory message and send it to the palace by his confidant eunuch. However, a letter is nothing compared to his son standing in front of him and speaking with his own mouth.

What's more, for the sake of safety, the emperor burned these letters after reading them, without exception. At other times of the year, the emperor just misses his deceased wife and eldest son, trying to take it out and look at it again.

The emperor lived in the palace and was surrounded by a large number of internal officials at all times. It was impossible to meet a person in private. And Cheng Yuanjing's identity on the face is the ninth son of Yichūn Hou's mansion, and there is no reason enough to enter the palace. The emperor clearly knew where the eldest son was and what he had done recently, but he had not seen it with his own eyes for many years.

The last time he saw the eldest son was in the palace exam in the nineteenth year of Jianwu. At that time, many new imperial examinations filed in, and Cheng Yuanjing followed in the crowd, bowing his head to greet him.

The father and son did not know each other. It was the first time the father and son met after Cheng Yuanjing was sent to Qingxuan Temple at the age of six. However, even so, the emperor had to endure his feelings and not show any strangeness. These people are new imperial examinations, and the emperor should not know them yet.

During the palace exam, the emperor couldn't bear it any longer and went down to watch the candidates answer the questions in person. He didn't dare to stop directly beside Cheng Yuanjing, he could only pretend to be curious, stand beside the examinee next to Cheng Yuanjing, and secretly look at Cheng Yuanjing through his movements.
