Greetings, Ninth Uncle

Cheng Yujin nodded lightly, knowing that Li Chengjing's goal had been achieved, and it didn't matter who the last second prince was. Even if the second prince was drunk at the banquet, there would not be no one around. Even if he was really busy for a while, how could Dou Xiyin be so coincidental that he happened to walk in just when everyone was out?

More coincidences are not coincidences, but inevitable. Cheng Yujin and Li Chengjing, one inside and the other outside, both pushed quietly. Cheng Yujin was responsible for provoking Dou Xiyin and then sending her out of the inner palace. As for Lingyuan Pavilion, it was not something Cheng Yujin could get.

But looking at the effect, Li Chengjing's arrangement is very subtle and ingenious. Both of them had a clear alibi, and they were just pushing it secretly, swaggering in, and stripping off their clothes, it was Dou Xiyin himself who had a relationship with the second prince. She wasn't stunned and she wasn't coerced. What does what happened to her have anything to do with others?

Li Chengjing was of course unwilling to see the second prince marrying a powerful relative, but to put it bluntly, no matter how powerful he was, it was no match for the imperial power. It would certainly cause some trouble for the second prince to marry another concubine, but that was all. A mere Dou Xiyin is not worth Li Chengjing's special calculations.

What Li Chengjing really wants to do is to tear open a hole in front of all the ministers, so that the world can see that the Yang family is not monolithic, and the empress dowager Yang and Yang Shoufu are already at odds. As for Dou Xiyin, it was just an addition.

Li Chengjing squeezed Cheng Yujin's fingers and said pointedly: "The Yang family suddenly became prosperous, but the upbringing within the family has not kept up. Now it's just a granddaughter, and there will be more retribution for the Yang family in the future."

Cheng Yujin immediately thought of a person, and she had heard of it, so she asked tentatively, "Your Highness, are you talking about Yang Xiaoyu, the grandson of Yang Shoufu?"

Yang Xiaoyu...has a great reputation in the capital, bullying men and women, eating, drinking, prostitutes, gambling, everything can be said to be complete. He is the only one in the Yang family's generation, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is Madam Yang's eyeballs and lifeblood. Dou Xiyin is just Yang Yan's daughter, so she can take off her clothes and stick to the prince, and Yang Xiaoyu is the only grandson of the Yang family, his grandfather is the first assistant, his aunt is the queen mother, and his aunt is the queen. I can also know what kind of person Yang Xiaoyu will grow into.

Yang Xiaoyu was so arrogant that he dared to kick a stall in the street and beat people, and molested the family members of court officials. Many people in Beijing have suffered from his anger, but Yang Shoufu and Empress Dowager Yang are all around, and the bitter masters dare not speak out, and no one dares to speak out.

Li Chengjing smiled and said, "That's the matter of the Yang family, I don't know."

In the past, the Yang family used only one hand to cover the sky, and they could bless Yang Xiaoyu and could not survive without the world. However, raising Gu will eventually have a backlash, and I just hope that the Yang family can always cover the sky with one hand.

Chapter 120: Playing Chess

At the end of the first month, the candidates for the second prince and concubine were settled.

It is not known what kind of tearing outsiders went through within the Yang family, but at the end of the month, the Queen's marriage decree was issued, and many people let out a long "ah".

Although there are some surprises, it is not completely unexpected.

When Empress Yang and Empress Dowager Yang gaffe left, everyone already had a lot of speculation, but these few days, the rumors were only quietly circulating in private, but they were confirmed today.

The decree of giving marriage is always the same. Empress Yang first praised a string of virtues and talents of the woman, and finally gave Dou Xiyin the concubine of the second prince, and chose a day to get married.

After the announcement of the marriage decree, it didn't take long for the Cheng family to hand over the book to the palace. Cheng Yujin sent someone to bring Mrs. Cheng and others to the East Palace. After Mrs. Cheng said some polite words as usual, she asked tentatively: "Prince Concubine, the second prince Zhengfei, have you appointed the young lady of the Dou family?"

Cheng Yujin nodded: "Well."

The word "um" was too sincere, and Mrs. Cheng didn't know how to answer it. After a pause, Mrs. Cheng asked again tentatively: "Prince Concubine, last year was also the first month of the year, and the marriage will of you and His Royal Highness was announced to the world. Because the prince is a little older, the wedding has been expedited, and it is all done. After six months, the second prince is much younger than the prince, and the marriage was given in the first month, so why should the marriage be completed in May?"

Last year, Li Chengjing and Cheng Yujin got married on the 26th of the first lunar month. As a result, on the 30th of the first lunar month this year, the second prince and Dou Xiyin announced their marriage. The royal family really likes to get together in the first month to do business.

It's just that one was bestowed by the emperor himself, and the other was bestowed by Empress Yang. Although the Queen's marriage can not be said to be dishonorable, but Queen Yang is Dou Xiyin's aunt, and doing so is always like trying to give Dou Xiyin face. Even if you can't ask the Holy Master to ask the Empress Dowager Yang to come forward to confer the marriage, it is better than Empress Yang.

Moreover, Li Chengjing was a little older at the beginning, and he was in a hurry to get married, and the six ceremonies were gone for six months. The second prince is only 16 this year, and he was given a marriage at the end of the first month, and he will be married in May. In such a hurry, one has to wonder if Dou Xiyin has some inconvenience, so he rushed to the door.

I heard that Dou Xiyin has been grounded for the past few days. The obvious reason is to prepare for marriage, but outsiders will not know what the actual situation is.

What happened to Lantern Festival, why didn't the Empress Dowager Yang come forward to confer the marriage, but Empress Yang, and why the wedding date was so rushed, I am afraid only the Yang family knows all this. Cheng Yujin's face was light, and she said, "The Empress is the biological mother of the second prince. When she wants to set the wedding date, she will naturally set it. Besides, the prince's big wedding is not the same as the prince's big wedding."
