Chapter 9 He is really my biological father
Cuizhu looked at Cheng Jin who was dressed up in the mirror and couldn't help laughing.
"The queen is already beautiful and charming, and now she is even more beautiful after dressing up."
Cheng Jin looked at herself in the mirror, and it was exactly as Cuizhu said.
The book describes the appearance of Concubine Rong more than once.
Although she was cannon fodder, she was the most beautiful cannon fodder. Even after her death, she was said to be a demon concubine who brought disaster to the country and the people.
The original owner was beautiful. Unlike Qu Wanxin's quirky and playful beauty, Cheng Jin's beauty was aggressive and tense, and her coquettishness radiated from the inside out.
She is the only daughter in the family, and was raised in the palm of her hand. Even though she entered the palace and became an unfavored concubine, her brother and father who were far away from the palace also made many arrangements.
Otherwise, the original owner would not have been able to fight to the end, and would have died in the palace and been thrown into a mass grave.
In fact, it was almost there. The original owner's father entered the palace and died in front of Chu Chengye. In addition to being a guard, he actually wanted to ask Chu Chengye to take Cheng Jin, who was in the cold palace, home.
He really couldn't bear it. What kind of life did his daughter live in a place like the cold palace? He was willing to give up everything and take his family back to his hometown, but he didn't expect to die in front of Chu Chengye before he saw Cheng Jin.
Cuizhu saw Cheng Jin in a daze, and thought about saying something to ease the atmosphere.
"You don't know, Your Majesty, I was really angry when I saw the look on Lady Hui's face this morning, but I didn't expect that the Emperor would vent our anger."
[On the surface, he vented our anger, but in fact, he made it impossible for us to vent our anger in the future.]
"The Emperor asked Your Majesty to serve in front of the emperor. This is a unique opportunity in the harem. This blessing is also unique. Why is Your Majesty unhappy?"
Cheng Jin raised her head and glanced at Cui Zhu, "Do you want this blessing? "
Cui Zhu said in a panic, "I absolutely don't have this idea."
"I know you don't, and neither do I."
Cui Zhu: "?"
Why is Cheng Jin unhappy about being favored in the harem? Although
Cheng Jin didn't want to go at all, it wasn't long before Chu Chengye sent someone to urge her.
After Cheng Jin went to Chu Chengye's study, she stood beside Chu Chengye and helped him grind ink meticulously.
She didn't dare to look at it carelessly.
The more you know, the sooner you die.
Chu Chengye suddenly threw the memorial in his hand on the table.
"These freeloaders submit useless memorials every day. I've already said that I don't eat bananas."
Cheng Jin glanced at it and saw five identical memorials placed together, all asking Chu Chengye if he liked bananas.
Cheng Jin lowered her head and wanted to laugh, but she noticed Chu Chengye's cold eyes.
Cheng Jin held back her laughter: "Your Majesty, calm down."
Chu Chengye was about to lose his temper when Wei An came in and said that it was Master Cheng who wanted to see him.
Chu Chengye felt a headache when he thought of Cheng Yishou's attempt to force him against the pillar during the morning court session. He was about to refuse, but then he remembered what Cheng Jin had said before, that Cheng Yishou had died in front of Yu.
He nodded, "Please come in, Master Cheng."
Cheng Jin was a little confused, why was her father here?
As soon as Cheng Yishou entered the hall, he only paid his respects and then noticed the woman standing next to Chu Chengye.
He immediately knelt down and said to Chu Chengye righteously, "Your Majesty, how can a concubine from the harem accompany you to review memorials? This is inappropriate."
Chu Chengye rubbed his brows, "She can."
"No matter who it is, they are all about the political affairs of the previous dynasty. Concubines from the harem cannot participate in politics. This has been the case since ancient times. There are so many tragedies in history books about emperors who were obsessed with beauty and allowed women to participate in politics. Your Majesty, learn from history and don't repeat the same mistakes!"
"Master Cheng, do you really want to make things difficult for me?"
Cheng Yishou bowed and spoke in a clear voice, "Your Majesty, my loyalty to you is evident to all. If Your Majesty does not believe it, I am willing to die to make my will clear."
"So I beg Your Majesty to let this lady step aside."
Cheng Jin: "..."
[Dad, why don't you look up at me? Cheng Yishou
heard his daughter's voice and looked up. It was Cheng Jin, but she didn't say a word.
Could it be that he heard it wrong?
Without waiting for more thoughts, Cheng Jin stood up and saluted Cheng Yishou, "Father, all is well."
Cheng Yishou nodded seriously, "Jin'er, I want to talk to the emperor about some political affairs. You step aside for a while. Women in the harem cannot attend political affairs."
Cheng Jin sighed.
He is really my father.
If I am not mistaken, Gao is going to be impeached again.
Cheng Yishou heard Cheng Jin's voice again, but Cheng Jin in front of him did not say a word. Although he was shocked, he did not dare to show it.
If he asked now, he and his daughter would be dragged out as monsters and executed.
Cheng Jin must not be implicated .
However, he and Cheng Jin had not seen each other for many days, nor had they had any contact. How could Jin know that he was talking to the emperor about Mr. Gao?
Cheng Yishou put away the memorial in his hand.
Chu Chengye waved his hand, "It doesn't matter. Since it's Master Cheng who's here to discuss things, we're family. Concubine Rong has nothing to do here. Just tell me what it is."
"What I want to say is about Mr. Gao."
Cheng Yishou replied absentmindedly. Chu
Chengye glanced at Cheng Jin imperceptibly.
Sure enough, Cheng Jin knew everything that happened.
Chu Chengye nodded and motioned Cheng Yishou to continue.
"Mr. Gao was disrespectful to the emperor in the court, and the words he said were vulgar..."
Chu Chengye took a deep breath after hearing what Cheng Yishou said, frowned, and couldn't listen any more.
Although Cheng Yishou was loyal to him, these were the only things he said every day.
Cheng Jin felt a little dizzy.
[Here it comes again, Dad. According to your report today and impeachment tomorrow, it would be good for our family to live to the end. If we anger this tyrant, we will go to heaven together.]
[Although what Mr. Gao did was indeed not in accordance with etiquette, it is not important. What is important is the flood in Jiangtang that you want to talk about.]
[It was because you insisted on talking about Mr. Gao's disrespect for the emperor that Chu Chengye couldn't listen to the rest of your words and sent other people to Jiangtang to deal with the flood. Chu Chengye didn't hear a word about the suffering of the people in Jiangtang.]
[Instead, that person used this as an excuse to alienate you and Chu Chengye. The matter of dismissal from office is a small matter, and the suspicion that you were sent by the Fifth Prince's party is a big matter. Cheng Yishou was shocked .
He really didn't expect that the Fifth Prince, who had always been kind and didn't care about the government and only wanted to have fun, would rebel.
He hid it very deeply.
Cheng Yishou thought about it and felt that he had put the cart before the horse. The flood in the river pond was the big deal.
But he had just said half of the matter about Mr. Gao. Was Chu Chengye unhappy?
Cheng Yishou looked up and saw that Chu Chengye was thinking about something, but there was no anger or impatience on his face.
Cheng Yishou bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, I do have something important to report."
