MTL - Love Like the Galaxy-Chapter 69

The next morning there was neither a big or a small meeting. When they came, it meant that the emperor asked their family of three to enter the palace again.

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

Hou Xuan has gone into the palace, so that the parents of your two families can meet and make things clear in front of His Majesty, and the rest will be easy."

Cheng Shi and Mrs. Xiao both thought in their hearts: The emperor is so afraid of the change of marriage, that the two families are not even allowed to meet on their 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.

The young merchant, who was stuffed into the carriage in a confused way, still babbled like a dream: "Father and mother just go... Why did you call me, didn't my mother say that you should not enter the palace until you have learned the etiquette well? , otherwise it will make you laugh..."

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

Shao Shang immediately sobered up: "I'll say it myself? This, this is appropriate, shouldn't this kind of big event be brought forward by the elders."

"Why is it inappropriate?" Cheng Shi said, "It's not for the father's sake."

Shaoshang said in a rage, "I knew that my father was reluctant to marry him, so he would just go and marry Ling Busu!"

"If a father is a daughter, Ling Budoubt is such a good son-in-law, I will marry twenty times at once and won't even beat you. Believe it or not!"

"Father is a fool, he only sees the immediate benefits!"

"You are 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 started 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 for a moment. After inquiring, they found out that this time, they did not enter from the South Main Gate and then pass through the entire palace as yesterday. Instead, they entered the North Palace from the Upper West Gate and went straight to the The Changqiu Palace where the Queen lives.

After taking a shortcut, Shaoshang returned to the apse of the Changqiu Palace yesterday without taking a few steps. When she knelt down and bowed, she saw the emperor and the empress in their regular clothes sitting upright First, in the hall, in addition to standing or kneeling Huangmen palace servants, there is also a middle-aged scholar-official with good looks and demeanor sitting in the middle.

The middle-aged scholar-officer smiled and nodded at Cheng Shi and his wife, and looked carefully at the small business, 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 was said between the monarchs and ministers before the Cheng family came, the emperor seemed a little tired, the queen smiled and pointed to the middle-aged scholar-officer: "This is Zisheng's father, Chengyang Hou Lingyi..." He pointed to the Cheng family and said, "This is Cheng Xiaowei and his wife, and Shao Shang... You guys meet each other."

Father Cheng and Father Ling hurriedly bowed to each other, Mrs. Xiao tugged at her dumb daughter, and followed behind to bow and salute.

"...Zisheng is not too young, even if my princes are younger than Zisheng, they all have concubines and children, but Zisheng is still alone." The emperor said, "I always Don't worry, if you can't arrange Zisheng's life-long events, I'm afraid you won't be able to see the Huo family brother in a hundred years."

Ling Yi lowered his head and listened, moved slightly when he heard the word 'Huo', and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty's words are really embarrassing to the minister, it is said that Zi Sheng is the son of the minister, and it should be left to the minister. Come to worry about these things, but Your Majesty is so kind, over the years, not only has Zisheng been raised carefully, but he has also given important responsibilities, I am truly grateful..."

The young merchant was lying on the side and listening, and wanted 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 you. For the sake of the dead Huo clan, okay?

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 didn't say anything. After Ling Yi finished his long speech of gratitude, he said: "This is a marriage. It's settled, Cheng Xiaowei is upright, loyal and brave, wise and prudent..."

The corner of Shao Shang's mouth crooked, and he said to himself: The Cheng family has no support club, it is not a resource cafe, and even a fan group cannot 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 also seen the people, the little lady Cheng is filial, kind and easy-going, marriage and matchmaking..." The emperor seemed to purse his lips slightly, and Shaoshang took it to him in his heart. Don't brag when you go down, it's embarrassing to brag, it's like a navy who doesn't have enough money.

"...is a good wife for Zisheng!" The emperor praised with difficulty, and then concluded, "You don't have to worry about marriage, the queen prepared for Zisheng many years ago..."

The queen held back a smile and glanced at him—from the age of fifteen , the iron pot is 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!

"...I see everything. So, what else do you have to say."

Ling Yi's heart was bitter, and he still had to defend two sentences: "Your Majesty, Zi Sheng'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 did not dare to intervene in the emperor's mouth, but could only intervene in the mouth of his in-law Lao Lingtou, "Your Majesty, this minister Report something."

The emperor was stunned for a moment, then waved his sleeves and said, "Speak."

Cheng Shi took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice, "Report to Your Majesty, I dare you... Please resign from this marriage."

As soon as these words came out, the monarch, ministers, slaves 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 displeasure of the Sacred Heart can be heard by anyone. 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, how can I be dissatisfied with this minister, I would wake up laughing from a dream! Cococo, but this minister's daughter..."

He let out a long sigh and said in a sad tone, "The little girl is really naughty! She can't study, she can't practice martial arts, she has no morality, and she doesn't cultivate morality. After thinking about it after the minister went back yesterday, he felt that he couldn't hide it. If you don't report it, you will be wronged by Master Ling in the future, how can you live up to His Majesty's kindness!"

Cheng Shi demeaned in one breath, feeling that he was a really good father and did his best for his daughter.

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

Mrs. Xiao was not feeling very well. She felt astonished eyes from the queen shot from above, her face was blue and white.

Ling Yi was a little bit overwhelmed. As a father who has not seen his son a few times a year, he has been used to people rushing to his son for many years. Today, he encountered such a situation. Welcome or refuse? 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 by the side. 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.

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 Budoubi's body was undulating like a ridge, and he saluted the empress and Ling Yi successively. Ling Yi's happy eyes flashed, and he continued: "Okay, I haven't seen you for a long time as father. , when are you free to go home and get together."

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

There is no need for Ling Wuxuan to open his mouth to answer this kind of remark, so he moved the good adoptive father of the heaven and said: "Zisheng has a lot of things recently, just wait for it later."

Ling Yi naturally knew that this 'future' was a long way off, but he didn't dare to refute it, so he could only bow his head.

Ling Budo smiled and looked at his biological father, like a calm sea, no amount of waves under the abyss would appear.

Shao Shang is a little strange. Although she only met the emperor for the third time today, she faintly sensed that the emperor was really easy-going and benevolent. Dare to argue for the righteous younger brother in front of the imperial family, why is this father Ling so afraid of the emperor?

The queen changed the subject and said with a smile: "Why did Zisheng come, I still think you have gone back."

Ling Budo got up suddenly, took two steps sideways and sat down beside Shaoshang, then replied, "I heard that the Cheng family has entered the palace, so I'll come and take a look."

The queen glanced at the two of them with a half-smile, noticing that the girl was as uncomfortable as a worm being thrown from her neckline, so she deliberately did not reveal it: "Oh, that's the case."

The emperor glanced at her and couldn't help but smile.

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

Shao Shang was resisting this moment all over, as if she was talking ill of people behind her back and was caught by the righteous master, she looked at the emperor and smiled dryly: "This, I... I heard that it was His Majesty's The reward is too heavy, and the courtiers will often refuse one or two..."

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

It’s as if the immortals have touched me, how can I be worthy of it, of course I have to refuse.”

The emperor felt that this little girl was a good girl.

Ling Budo raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "I thought that you asked your father to break the marriage because you hated me. It turned out not to be the case, then I can rest assured."

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

—Such a few sentences without content made the two of them laugh at each other.

Including the Empress, it was the first time for everyone to see Ling Budo and Shaoshang together, especially Cheng Shi and Mrs. Xiao. Suspected contact, but do not 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 laughing little fool, and felt that he had been betrayed - this Little friend, since you are so happy and harmonious with others, why should 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."

Shao Shang suddenly sobered up, uh, what did she come to do today, oh yes, she came to resign. She glanced at the emperor cautiously, and said timidly, "Reporting to Your Majesty, can the ministers and daughters speak to Lord Ling?"

The emperor secretly scolded you for what you said and asked, but he said with a serious face: "But it doesn't matter."

Shao Shang summoned his courage and said to the tall young man beside him: "I don't hate Master Ling, but I really don't deserve you. Thinking back and forth, thinking hard..."

The emperor couldn't help closing his eyes when he heard the 'contemplation and hard thoughts'.

"My parents have been away for ten years, I have neglected education since I was a child, I can't recognize a few words, I haven't read a few books, and the etiquette is vulgar and ignorant. This temperament is not good! Sir, may you please I don’t know, I’ve quarreled with my mother several times in the past few months since she came back! Mother, is it?” Shaoshang tried his best to be self-deprecating, and asked Madam Xiao for circumstantial evidence.

Mrs. Xiao felt that her face today was a bit of a loss, and it was not bad, so she admitted with a wry smile: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the so-called family ugliness is nothing but worry about their husband and wife in the future. There is a gap, and enemies are turned against each other, and officials and women are unwilling to expose the shortcomings of their children. It is said that children are always good for themselves, but if Master Ling’s talent and appearance are matched with a little girl, this, this is really…”

"What a waste!" Shao Shang hurriedly made up for her.

Mrs. Xiao glared at her.

The young businessman was stunned inexplicably. She hadn't said 'flowers on cow dung'. She hurriedly continued to exert her strength: "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 a little more comfortable when she saw that her daughter said that she almost exerted her strength to breastfeed.

"So it is." Ling Budo thought thoughtfully, nodded and said, "...How did the pastries taste yesterday?"

Shao Shang was a little surprised, and said hurriedly, "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 this (since I came here) Delicious pastries." Hey, why did the topic end here.

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

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 the name of a cook who specializes in making pastries, just because I was afraid that I would not have time to eat, so it is best to bring some food with you."

Cheng Shi and Mrs. Xiao trembled in unison, fearing that their daughter would really accept this chef, they hurriedly said, 'No need to~! ’

The queen had been sitting quietly, but now she smiled and shook her head, she whispered a few words in the emperor's ear, and then left the side without saying a word, walking forward He also glanced at Cheng Shi and his wife, and there was actually a bit of pity in their eyes.

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

It's settled. Zifeiyu knows the joy of fish, I think you'll be fine, don't mention it again after the resignation."

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

"Your Majesty." Ling Budo raised his hands and bowed his hands, "I plan to take the young merchant to General He's Mansion to pay homage, and visit the orphans and widows of the He Mansion and An Chengjun, you may like it."

The emperor nodded: "It's up to you."

"What, what?!" Shao Shang was caught off guard, almost jumped up, and roared, "What did you say?! !" The old lady was just robbed of her fiancé by that little Bichiming, what kind of international joke are you making!

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

Cheng Shigeng secretly applauded 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 with ease, only Ling Yi was dumbfounded.

"Why not?" 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 will soon marry An Chengjun Oh, this, this, this is so embarrassing..."

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

"I just gave her my fiancé!" 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 Yili."

Young businessman is stupid, does it make a big difference?

Ling Budo stared at her: "I am afraid that the world will think that you are just right, so how do you ask An Chengjun to deal with himself. The Cheng family broke the promise and withdrew the marriage contract of the Lou family, is it to make Is it embarrassing for An Chengjun to show his 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 An Chengjun and the remnant of the He clan can cheer up and have a smooth future. Young Master He will be able to revive the family tradition when he becomes an adult. Therefore, we not only go to the Hefu to pay homage, but also go there generously. At that time, you must tell An Chengjun that you and she now have their own marriage. You don't have to rant about guilt or apology. It's all 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 into 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, 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, and 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 Budo smiled softly, "Yesterday, Your Majesty 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!" Shaoshang was in a mess, she felt that every time she struggled, she was bound more tightly, and screamed, "This, this, this There is no need!"

"You didn't say you couldn't read, didn't read a lot, didn't know etiquette, and said you couldn't get married if you didn't know anything, so why don't you study hard?" Song hit back.

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

Ling Budo smiled at Madam Xiao, "It's not the ability to despise Madam, but if you are polite and demure, you can learn well, the Empress is one of the best in the city."

Ling Budo bowed her head and smiled at the girl: "Don't worry, the lady can't be more kind, even if you don't study well, you won't be punished, are you happy?"

Shao Shang glared at him - I'm glad your father has menopause and menopause syndrome!

Mrs. Xiao knew that the whole line was defeated today, and that it would be useless to keep the remnants of the defeated soldiers, so she sighed: "Lord Ling, now you are in the sky, why don't you go to another mansion tomorrow?" Anyway, go back first. The family slowed down, and then thought about the next move.

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

"No need, let's go to where for lunch." Ling said without doubt.

"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 hallucinations appeared in front of her eyes, "People are having a funeral, Are you going to eat?!"

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 soup and rice." Ling Budo smiled still, "We went there at this time, just in time to be able to share with the He clan. Let's have lunch, and we'll have a good conversation during the meal."

Shao Shang watched him for a long time, and he was stuck in his chest with one breath and almost assembled into a shock wave that spurted out on the spot - going to the funeral of the family, and bringing the chef to the door to eat, very good, very good, This is really an era of unrestrained love of freedom, who can tell her who is from the modern age!

Cheng Shi closed his mouth, which was too large 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.

Shao Shang looked at her parents, then looked at the emperor, and even Ling Yi, she found that every road was blocked, every word she said was asking for trouble, and her eyes looked for help After no results, he stumbled and was dragged away from the inner hall by Ling Budo.

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

"It's fine, just don't dislike Zisheng." The emperor smiled kindly and was generous and tolerant, "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 no avail, courtiers and clans often think that they are soft-hearted. He taught Wen Tao, martial arts, and tricks from a young age. As a result, Shuzi took the lead in using every move and style on himself. When I think about it, I am full of tears.

However, seeing the appearance of Cheng Shi and his wife today, the emperor finally felt 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, I talked about how stubborn curls are, Emperor Don't worry at all, that's what it is!"

Mrs. Xiao continued to be silent.

"Okay, now we don't have to worry that Lingyi will cause a big disaster. How can she turn over someone's palm!" Cheng Shi sighed.

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

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