Chapter 1456: Lost face is recovered
Tang Bao didn't know that before she even took any action, someone was already eager to help.
"Sister, you are right. I will go and ask my parents for help right away!" Zheng Ziqian said with shining eyes.
"Yeah, come on, Fourth Brother!"
Zheng Suxin was so happy that she made a cheering gesture to Zheng Ziqian.
I only remembered halfway through that this gesture and these two words were invented by Tang Bao.
So, Zheng Suxin's fist froze in the middle.
Zheng Ziqian went to Madam Zheng's yard with a heroic and high-spirited manner under the gaze of his sister.
Prime Minister Zheng has already left his post, and the couple is discussing going to the Xia family to propose marriage.
"Dad, Mom, I like Princess Linghua, please help me!" Zheng Ziqian knelt down as soon as he entered the door.
Prime Minister Zheng: “…”
Madam Zheng: “…”
With a "bang", Prime Minister Zheng slammed the table.
Then, he grinned secretly.
I couldn't control my strength and my hands hurt so much.
"You've read so many sage books, and yet you say such nonsense. Have you lost all your reading?"
Prime Minister Zheng roared angrily, his voice piercing the sky.
"Like, like? What's the use of you liking me? Can the princess be interested in you?"
"Even if I want to help you, I have to see if the princess will do the same!"
Prime Minister Zheng turned the pain in his hand into double anger, and yelled at his son!
Zheng Ziqian: “…”
stunned.
Madam Zheng: “…”
Jaw-dropping!
Zheng Ziqian: Why has Dad’s speaking style changed so much?
Is this my father?
Mrs. Zheng: Why does my master speak so vulgarly?
Could it be that I was just pretending before?
The image of Prime Minister Zheng was instantly shattered and completely destroyed in the eyes of his son and wife!
When Prime Minister Zheng saw his son and wife, he looked as if he had been struck by lightning and his expression froze.
He shook his hand calmly.
It hurts so much!
"Humph! A toad wants to eat swan flesh!"
As if trying to save face, Prime Minister Zheng added with a humming voice.
In fact, he stabbed his son again.
Zheng Ziqian: “…”
A collision of ten thousand points!
Toad?
In my father's eyes, I am a toad!
"Dad, I..." Zheng Ziqian wanted to cry.
He feels that not being able to marry the girl he likes is not as great as the hurt his father caused him.
When Mrs. Zheng saw her son's devastated look, she immediately felt distressed.
In her opinion, her son is perfect and there are few women in the world who are worthy of him.
"Master, how can you say that about Ziqian?" Madam Zheng said unhappily, "Princess Linghua is unruly and willful, arrogant and domineering. Our Ziqian is a Jinshi of the current dynasty, refined and elegant, a modest gentleman. It's clear that Princess Linghua is not worthy of Ziqian!"
Otherwise, she would have chosen Princess Linghua as her daughter-in-law.
After hearing what Madam Zheng said, Prime Minister Zheng reached out to slam the table again.
Fortunately, I didn’t take the photo. Thinking about the pain in my hand, I forced myself to hold it back.
"Hmph! For so many years, the Cheng'en Mansion has only had Princess Linghua as its only child, and they've doted on her like the apple of their eye." Prime Minister Zheng said angrily, "You think your son is good, but others think your son is a toad wanting to eat swan meat!"
Okay, I admit it, this is what King Cheng'en said to him before the morning court session!
That’s not all. This morning at court, whatever he said, King Cheng’en would say otherwise, trying his best to oppose him!
In front of all the civil and military officials in the court, she was unreasonable and swearing, which almost made him angry!
In the end, the elegant image he had maintained for many years was destroyed, and he started to curse at King Cheng'en.
Whenever Prime Minister Zheng thought of this matter, his heart ached.
His image?
His prestige?
Prince Cheng'en is a scoundrel who doesn't care about anything, but he is the Prime Minister of the dynasty...
When Prime Minister Zheng thought about it, the villain in his heart burst into tears.
Even so, Zheng Ziqian still bumped into me. Who else should I scold if not him?
"Master, how can you keep belittling your own son? What a toad! The Cheng'en Palace has leaked the news and wants to form a marriage with our family, but we just don't agree." Madam Zheng defended her son and said with confidence.
After saying this, a hint of arrogance appeared on his face.
He added, "Our Ziqian doesn't marry just any girl. Even the princesses of the royal palace, who are of noble status, are eager to marry into our Zheng family!"
"Dad, Mom, did someone from Prince Cheng'en's Palace really leak the news?" Zheng Ziqian shouted excitedly.
It turns out that he is not a toad!
Bah! What a toad!
Prime Minister Zheng also looked at Madam Zheng with a hint of surprise on his face.
"Madam, is this true?" asked Prime Minister Zheng.
Mrs. Zheng suddenly felt a little guilty.
This was indeed the case, but she did not tell her master and son.
"Master, we have already discussed the marriage with the Xia family." Madam Zheng tried to straighten her expression and said righteously, "Even if the princess of the palace takes a fancy to Ziqian, we cannot go back on our word and break off the engagement with the Xia family."
Prime Minister Zheng: “…”
He naturally understood this.
At the same time, he also understood why King Cheng'en went crazy during the court this morning.
It seems that he is too embarrassed to save face!
Prime Minister Zheng felt a little relieved.
Then, I began to like my son more.
This son is not bad, he can be favored by that scoundrel King Cheng'en...
Prime Minister Zheng suddenly felt a little proud.
Zheng Ziqian's face was filled with joy. He looked at Prime Minister Zheng, then at Madam Zheng, and cried out, "Father, Mother, if that's the case, Princess Linghua and I are in love. Please don't separate us!"
Prime Minister Zheng: “…”
Madam Zheng: “…”
Prime Minister Zheng suppressed his pride, frowned, and asked Madam Zheng, "Did the Cheng'en Palace really leak the news that the princess has taken a fancy to Ziqian?"
Mrs. Zheng: "...That's not the case."
Prime Minister Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Madam Zheng continued, "Master, you also said that Princess Linghua is pampered by Prince Cheng'en. If Princess Linghua disagrees, can Prince Cheng'en's palace send someone to our house to vent their disapproval?"
Madam Zheng said this, a look of understanding appeared on her face, and she continued, "This concerns the reputation of the young lady. The Cheng'en Palace will definitely not directly say that the princess likes Ziqian."
Not only would the Cheng'en Palace not say it directly, no other palace would say it.
It's all guesswork.
Prime Minister Zheng thought about it and felt that given Prince Cheng'en's temperament and the extent to which he doted on his daughter, his wife might be right. It was indeed Princess Linghua who had taken a fancy to his son, and then Prince Cheng'en's palace sent someone to leak the news that they wanted to arrange a marriage with his family.
Forget it, I won’t bother with King Cheng’en about what happened in the morning court today.
He said his son was a toad wanting to eat swan meat. It was obvious that he was trying to make amends for his daughter after being rejected in marriage...
When Prime Minister Zheng thought about it, he felt that he had regained the face he had lost at the morning court!
