Greetings, Ninth Uncle

Li Chengjing rarely mentioned about Queen Zhong. He didn't say it, and Cheng Yujin never asked. It was rare that he took the initiative to mention it today. Cheng Yujin was a quiet listener and asked softly, "Then what?"

"Then? Then when I was two years old, she died of illness. I cried and cried, and His Majesty took me to the bedroom and took care of the daily life. Later, someone proposed to appoint another queen, but the emperor did not allow it. He still made Yang Miao the empress."

"Yang Miao is said to have a deep-rooted love for him. For him, she refused to marry until she was 18 years old. Later, she married into the palace as she wished. In her first year as a queen, I don't know whose advice she listened to. , said that he wanted to raise me personally. The emperor refused to allow me, so he still took me by his side, and I lived in the Qianqing Palace. At that time, my health was not very good, and I was ill for most of the year, so the Qianqing Palace was also floating every day. Bitter medicine."

Li Chengjing recalled the past, smiled very lightly, and said: "Sometimes he is really a very contradictory person. He compromised with the Yang family, but did not agree to let Yang Miao adopt me. Because someone criticized me. He told me that I was born on the Dragon Boat Festival and that I didn’t live long, so he took me personally in the emperor’s bed, no matter how big or small, they lived together in the same bed, and even taught me to read and write. He moved a flat bed and let me play next to it. Later, when I was four years old, I was enlightened to learn to write, and he asked someone to prepare a small table and chair.

From this point of view, the emperor is a good father, but Li Chengjing's feelings for the emperor have always been complicated, because the emperor cared so carefully for Li Chengjing, but when he was five years old, he compromised with the Yang family and let his five-year-old son, Go to the Taoist temple in the deep mountains to recuperate.

Then, something unexpected happened.

Cheng Yujin sighed after hearing that, people are the most difficult to evaluate, and a person's strengths are often his fatal flaws.

The emperor's temperament is moderate and eclectic, and he has been with mud all his life, and wants all forces to coexist peacefully. This was the case when he was a prince, and it is still the same after he ascended the throne.

He was patient and gentle with Li Chengjing, but it was this gentleness that almost killed Li Chengjing. The emperor didn't want to tear his face, so he compromised with the Yang family and tried to compromise between his son and the Yang family. As a result, Li Chengjing almost died in a man-made accident, and he had to remain anonymous for the next fourteen years.

The most difficult thing to break is the housework account. Cheng Yujin understands that this is the knot between their father and son. Cheng Yujin did not try to solve Li Chengjing, but silently held his hand and supported him silently.

She is Li Chengjing's wife, no matter what decision Li Chengjing makes, she will support Li Chengjing unconditionally.

Li Chengjing noticed that his emotions were out of control today, he restrained his mind, and laughed at himself: "You are such an adult, and you are still affected by the past. It's really ageing, and you're standing in the door."

"How could it be?" Cheng Yujin asked softly, "Your Highness, then... are your mother's family still alive?"

Li Chengjing thought for a long time, and finally shook his head slowly: "I don't know either. I haven't heard from them for many years.

"My mother was originally the daughter of the Qingliu Zhong family in the capital, and my grandfather, Zhong Bi, was an upright person and was somewhat famous among the literati. My grandfather never took a concubine in his life, only one son and one daughter. The mother was a young daughter, loved by both parents, conniving by the elder brother, and his temperament was too docile. Courtesy. She was originally a princess. After the emperor was summoned by the Empress Dowager Yang to Beijing, it took a long time to pick up her mother. As Princess Kang, her identity was always unknown after moving into the palace, and she was only an emperor. She lived under the name of a woman in the Qiandi. In February of the first year of Jianwu, someone even publicly proposed to establish another queen. The person who proposed was naturally Yang Shoufu's daughter, Yang Miao, who fell in love with the emperor at first sight. The emperor did not promise, and spent six For a few months, the Yang family couldn't stand the pressure of public opinion, so they reluctantly stepped back to make the original queen concubine the queen. And for the past six months, my mother has been living in the palace as an embarrassing identity without a name, neither a wife nor a concubine."

"After the mother was canonized, the Empress Dowager Yang kept scolding her in the name of being childless. Her mother relented and gave in to the Empress Dowager Yang very much, and even respected Yang Miao. It was not until August of the second year that she became pregnant with great difficulty. , but when she went to see the flowers on an appointment with the Queen Mother Yang, she accidentally fell and nearly had a miscarriage. She lay on the bed for three months, and didn't dare to walk on the ground until she was five months pregnant."

Cheng Yujin listened to these sighs, she was in the palace, and when she listened to this past, she only felt that there were doubts everywhere. How could Empress Dowager Yang be so coincidental to ask her unpleasant step-daughter-in-law to enjoy flowers, how could Empress Zhong fall so coincidentally?

"My mother's due date was originally in June, but on the fifth day of May, for some reason, she suddenly started to give birth to me with pain for a whole day. Although my mother was rescued at that time, her health became worse after that. Sure enough, after only two years, she passed away. In those years, because of the delay in her mother's succession, her grandfather was very angry and publicly impeached Yang Shoufu several times. In the end, her career was ruined and she could not make further progress. Grandfather was demoted. After the death of my mother, my grandmother was greatly stimulated and passed away in the same year. My grandfather resigned and left Beijing with his uncle in anger. He died of illness on the road within two years after hearing the news. It was rarely introduced to the capital, and I focused on inquiring later, and I only knew that he moved to a small town in the southwest, where he settled down, taught and educated people, and no longer served as an official."
