Cheng Jingyu was convinced, her father's change of attitude was so fast.
But her eyes were still red: "Dad!"
Cheng Xi hugged his daughter and sighed: "Why are you fighting with them? The Hou Mansion is in a state of chaos."
He naturally knew that Jiang Subai was not an easy person to get along with.
At first he was worried about leaving Cheng Jingyu in the Hou Mansion, but he couldn't take her to the battlefield.
Therefore, I could only cruelly leave it at home, but I felt guilty in my heart.
This year I also hurriedly and slowly returned to Kyoto on the New Year's Day, just to prevent Cheng Jingyu from spending the New Year alone.
Cheng Jinghe touched the top of his sister's hair: "She has grown taller."
Compared with Cheng Xi, Cheng Jinghe looks gentle and gentle, and he really doesn't look like a decisive major general on the battlefield.
The brothers and sisters all look like their mother, the good-looking one.
Every time she looked at them, Cheng Xi felt her heart melt.
"Do you really like Nie Wenxun?"
Cheng Jinghe had many friends in Kyoto, and he was a little worried after hearing many rumors about his younger sister.
"I, that..."
Cheng Jingyu dared to say that if she told her father that she and Nie Wenxun were taking advantage of their relationship, she would definitely get her ears picked on again.
But she couldn't say anything about the cause of her mother's death. Her father had been loyal to Xi Chu for many years. If she heard this, she would inevitably act impulsively.
Not to mention my brother.
"I'm not marrying Nie Wenxun, I'm just teasing you."
Cheng Xi snorted coldly: "I don't care what you want to do. You used to make noises about marrying the prince, and now you have provoked Nie Wenxun and Fu Yanci, but I don't agree with either of them!"
Cheng Jingyu knew this.
In her previous life, her father had disapproved of marrying Xiao Heng. He felt that there were too many disputes in the royal family and that if you didn't pay attention, you would be risking your life.
She didn't listen before and was determined to marry Xiao Heng.
It wasn't until everyone in the Cheng family was involved that I realized I regretted it.
"Of course I won't marry Xiao Heng." Cheng Jingyu sneered: "He deserves it too."
Without himself, Xiao Heng is just a pile of mud that cannot hold up the wall.
How far he can go is still unknown.
Cheng Xi asked sensitively: "What do you mean? You mean you want to marry Fu Yanci and Nie Wenxun?"
".....That was not what I meant."
It would be great if Fu Yanci was willing to marry her, but he was only willing to play some 'private' deals with himself.
She did think about marrying Fu Yanci at first, but later she realized how dangerous the idea was.
Xiao Shenggao would not agree, and Emperor Dajing and Fu Yanmo would not let Fu Yanci "just sit back and enjoy the success". Her father would definitely obstruct it in every possible way.
She is naturally fine, but Fu Yanci is likely to be targeted and killed.
"Be at peace with me!" Cheng Xi pointed at her fiercely: "I will choose a son-in-law for you after the Chinese New Year. Before His Majesty is wary of the Cheng family, you can marry an ordinary official and go to Just have a smooth life in the future."
Cheng Jingyu's eyes heated up.
She understands that her father is really good for her, otherwise many high-ranking officials and nobles would want to use their children to advance their career.
But: "I want to choose one I like."
"Then tell me, what do you like?" Cheng Xi looked at his daughter lovingly.
Fu Yanci's face flashed across Cheng Jingyu's mind for a moment.
Her heartbeat was racing. She tightened her handkerchief and dismissed these thoughts: "I don't know yet."
Cheng Jinghe talked to Xini on the side: "Dad, she is still young. She doesn't know what to like at the age of sixteen."
Cheng Xi reluctantly refused to ask further questions.
But he still warned: "Tonight's palace banquet, you stay with me, don't run anywhere, and come home with me when it's over!"
**
After freshening up, it was time for the palace banquet.
Cheng Jingyu wore a yellow gown with a few white flowers printed on it, and a moonlit eight-piece skirt.
The accessories on her head were not made of pearls, but yellow and white ribbons, which were braided and hung down on her chest.
Her outfit is clean and elegant, which makes her more lively and playful.
Cheng Jinghe nodded repeatedly when he saw her: "My sister is truly the beauty of the country."
When going out, Cheng Xi was pestered by Jiang Subai again.
Jiang Subai did not support him, and his status prevented him from attending the palace banquet.
She spoke with emotion: "Master Hou, I gave birth to Jiaojiao for you. I have no merit but hard work. When can I go in and out of the palace with you and take charge of the affairs of the Hou Mansion?"
As he spoke, he shed tears again.
There was no other concubine in the Hou Mansion, but she couldn't climb up, which made Cheng Jiaojiao and her bear the title of concubine.
How can you win over Cheng Jingyu?
"It's not that dad doesn't want to help you, it's just that you are the principal wife of the Marquis's residence and need the emperor's order. The second lady should put away her crying."
Cheng Jingyu looked at Jiang Subai with disgust.
Cheng Jiaojiao is a white-eyed wolf, and Jiang Subai is an accomplice.
Both mother and daughter are troublemakers in the Hou family.
Still a wife?
joke.
Cheng Xi persuaded her nicely: "Go back. We need to bring Jiaojiao back tonight. If His Majesty is asked to see you, I'm afraid he will be even more angry."
Sure enough, he was a general, and his words hit Jiang Subai's fatal point.
For the sake of Cheng Jiaojiao, she didn't dare to make trouble anymore.
He just gave Cheng Jingyu a hard look.
When they arrived at the palace gate, Cheng Jingyu clung to Cheng Jinghe.
Because her brother had just come back and brought her many gadgets from Beidi.
It's not like her father would pull her ears as soon as he came back.
Because Cheng Jingyu's skin is too white and tender, she still has a hint of red.
Chunhua was heartbroken and said that Mr. Hou was too cruel.
People at the palace entrance stopped and looked over.
The woman in the yellow and white dress is playful, and the man in the dark robe next to her has a pure and doting face.
As if he was helpless, he even scratched her nose.
Cheng Jinghe looks like his mother's uncle. He doesn't look much like Cheng Jingyu, but he is also very outstanding.
Because he has been at the border all year round, Cheng Jinghe's skin is a healthy wheat color.
He doesn't go back to Kyoto often, so not many people know him.
Cheng Xi took the lead to see the emperor again, but he was not with the brothers and sisters.
But many people know Cheng Jingyu.
What's more, Princess Heshuo has been in the limelight a lot recently.
"Didn't this...didn't you go out with Prince Wenxun two days ago?"
"Yes, yes, who is this? He is very handsome, but I have never seen him before."
"Before Prince Wenxun, she had many contacts with Fu Zhizi."
"Why didn't you say she was childhood sweetheart with the prince?"
"It seems that Princess Heshuo only picks good-looking people, huh, she has no feminine restraint!"
"..."
Although there was a lot of discussion, no one dared to speak loudly.
It did not affect the conversation between the brother and sister at all.
Cheng Jingyu was fighting with her brother to win the title of Yuelou.
The shopkeeper of Deyuelou is a good friend of Cheng Jinghe, but he has some issues with Cheng Jingyu. The two had a fight in the past.
So people refused to sell things to Cheng Jingyu.
But his crowns are the best in Kyoto.
"Isn't the crown only for men? What are you doing here?"
I want to give Fu Yanci a gift!
It was the New Year and it was the anniversary of his mother's death. She wanted to please Fu Yanci.
Cheng Jingyu felt guilty and her eyes rolled wildly: "Brother gave me a lot of things, and I want to give them to you too, okay?"
"Okay, okay, I'll take you there another day." Cheng Jinghe was helpless by her quarrel: "But you have to be obedient."
"Brother is the best! Brother is the best in the world!"
He turned around and bumped into someone.
Looking up, he saw Fu Yanci's cold face.
Cheng Jingyu was frightened.
But Fu Yanci's eyes swept down from Cheng Jinghe's face and stopped between Cheng Jingyu's arms holding him.
Then he stepped into the palace door and said one sentence.
"The princess has so many good brothers."
