rebirth will be hard to find

Under the majestic gaze of His Royal Highness, Cheng Zian agreed in a daze.

Seeing this, Chu Yi narrowed his eyes with a smile.She happily thanked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, remembering that she still missed riding and archery lessons today, she dragged Cheng Zian away first, and came back an hour later.

Cheng Zian was still a little dizzy when she stepped out of the gate of Chonghua Hall, and it was not until she was pulled back to Linzhi Hall by Chu Yi to change her riding outfit that she finally realized what she had promised.

She looked at Chu Yi with a bitter expression, not because she was unhappy in her heart, but His Royal Highness said that she wanted her to reveal the truth to her family.Her mother didn't say much when she knew that she liked Chu Jingmo, but His Highness is different. How can the princess of the royal family just lie?Not to mention whether they can accept being with a woman, even the identity of His Highness is enough to make the Cheng family worry a lot.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince agreed to the matter of King Qi. Cheng Zian should have sent a message back to reassure Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng, but she didn't know what to say about Chu Yi, and it was not suitable for others to spread such a message. information.So she hesitated for a while, and finally decided to keep this matter in her heart for the time being, and wait until the next time she takes a bath, and then go home and talk to her mother and grandmother in detail.

Chu Yi naturally saw Cheng Zian's entanglement, but in this matter, she refused to give in half a step, so she just didn't know.

In this way, two days later, Chu Yi and Cheng Zian heard the news that His Royal Highness had invited King Qi and Princess Ning Ya into the palace.Before King Qi used the excuse of Ning Ya's marriage to ask the prince about the situation of the children in Beijing, His Royal Highness took advantage of the situation. This time, he invited King Qi into the palace, and then solemnly introduced the youngest son of the Duke of Wei to Ning Ya.

The Duke of Wei's family is also a minister for many generations, and the youngest son of his family is even more talented. Although he has never been an official in the court because he has not yet reached the crown, he is quite talented in the capital.As far as this candidate is concerned, His Royal Highness's recommendation is obviously beyond reproach, and even King Qi was suddenly stuck, not knowing how to refuse.

Because of His Royal Highness's cross-cutting, King Qi couldn't run to Cheng's house anymore, and he couldn't even offend Wei Guogong at will, so he had to let Ning Ya meet the youngest son of Wei Guogong's family a few times .Then, for some unknown reason, the news spread in the capital, as if the marriage between King Qi and the Duke of Wei was a certainty and beyond doubt.

His Highness the Crown Prince's method was swift and powerful, and within a few days, the matter was handled properly, which was much better than the Cheng family's last resort.

Chu Yi never doubted His Royal Highness's ability to handle affairs, but Cheng Zian was greatly relieved when he got the news.Just thinking about what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said in the Chonghua Palace study that day, she felt a little headache and helpless.

No matter how entangled Cheng Zian was, the days passed by so quickly that people were caught off guard.In a blink of an eye, the end of March is coming, and besides the old emperor's Longevity Day getting closer, the new holiday is also coming again.

Li Lin didn't know anything, so he was still in high spirits this day, and ran to find Cheng Zian to go out of the palace with him early in the morning.

Cheng Zian was a little hesitant, she hadn't figured out how to tell her mother and grandmother.It's fine for Mrs. Cheng, but Old Mrs. Cheng has a strong and stubborn temperament. She has always been stricter than kind to Cheng Zian, so Cheng Zian has been afraid of her since she was a child, and she really dare not be presumptuous in front of her.

After dawdling for a while, Cheng Zian was finally dragged out of the palace by Li Lin who was waiting impatiently.

Outside the palace, the people from the two families were already waiting.Li Lin still left in a carriage, but this time, Cheng Zian, who was so preoccupied, didn't remind him of the time to return to the palace. Instead, he frowned and got on the horse, and rode away first.

"What's wrong with Zian? It's been weird lately." Li Lin looked at Cheng Zian's back riding away, and couldn't help muttering in a low voice.However, he didn't take this matter very seriously. After putting down the curtain of the carriage, he asked the driver to drive home.

Just like the last time of Xiumu, the capital gradually became lively after dawn, and there were more and more people on the streets.But this time Cheng Zian was not in a hurry to go home, he simply pulled the rein loosely and let the horse walk slowly on this noisy street.

In a few days it will be the old emperor's Longevity Day, and the palace has been decorated in a festive manner, as if celebrating the New Year again.There is no difference in this capital city. The shops and trees on both sides of the street are decorated with red cloth. At night, the whole city is covered with bright red lanterns. Even the pedestrians on the street have more expressions very happy.

The old emperor can't be regarded as a Daoming Lord, but it is not an exaggeration to say that he is diligent.Although the state of Chu did not prosper under his rule, it can be regarded as stable and stable, especially in this land of capital, it is a school of singing and dancing.

Cheng Zian saw all these in his eyes, but he didn't take it to heart at all, he only thought about what to say after returning home.On the contrary, the guard behind her followed without saying a word, but couldn't help but open his mouth: "Master, why don't you ask about family affairs today?"

Cheng Zian was taken aback for a moment, and when he heard that there was something in his words, a bad premonition surged in his heart.She turned her head and stared at the guard with burning eyes: "What happened at home?"

The other party was in high spirits, and he opened his mouth and smiled: "Naturally, it's a happy event, a great happy event, the old lady has arranged a marriage for you..."

With a "boom", Cheng Zian's brain exploded.Before the guard could finish speaking, he flicked the rein and started to run the horse. It was still in the direction of Cheng's mansion, but he ran faster than last time.

The guard blinked, and hastily shook the reins to go after him.However, there were too many people on the street, and Cheng Zian's figure was no longer seen if they blocked him in twos and threes.So he curled his lips, gave up and slowed down the horse, and at the same time muttered in a low voice: "What's the rush? Even if we're engaged, I won't see my little wife when I run home now."

Cheng Zi'an rushed home in a hurry, of course not to see the little daughter-in-law, she just wanted to know, King Qi's place had already been taken care of by His Royal Highness, why did grandma make an appointment for herself? !

The engagement, whether it's for her, for the woman or for the Cheng family, is obviously not a good thing.

In less than a cup of tea, Cheng Zian rode his horse to the gate of Cheng's house. Before he had time to dismount, he saw Mrs. Cheng waiting at the door.She lifted her legs, jumped off the horse, hurried to Madam Cheng, and said, "Mother, I heard from the guards..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Mrs. Cheng raised her hand to stop her, "If you have something to say, go in and don't talk nonsense outside."

Cheng Zian was startled, and then realized that he was flustered, and he was a little out of proportion.Immediately kept silent, just nodded slightly, followed Mrs. Cheng into the gate of Cheng's mansion, and gradually suppressed the restlessness in her heart.

The mother and daughter walked all the way to the front yard, and Cheng Zian finally asked: "Mother, I heard that my family has made an engagement for me?! But isn't there nothing wrong with King Qi? Why are you still engaged?!"

Mrs. Cheng could hear the anxiety in Cheng Zian's tone, and there seemed to be something else besides the worry about identity in that anxiety.The last time Cheng Zian came back to talk to her, she sensed something was wrong, and now that feeling became more obvious.She frowned slightly and looked at Cheng Zian: "Ajie, do you have something to hide from me?"

Cheng Zian choked suddenly, she turned her head slightly to avoid Madam Cheng's gaze, instead of looking at her, she said: "It's nothing, I just don't want to burden others."

Mrs. Cheng didn't believe it, she stared at Cheng Zian for a while, and then said to the point: "Did you...have a crush on someone else?"

Cheng Zian said last time that she doesn't like Chu Jingmo anymore.She never lied, so Mrs. Cheng believed it, and Cheng Zian cared so much about marriage now, obviously it was for other people.Thinking of this, Mrs. Cheng couldn't help but sighed in her heart, and said something funny about the world.

Cheng Zian's lips were tightly pressed. She was silent for a while, and then she opened her mouth to reply: "Mother, there are some things I can't say clearly, but I do, I do have someone I like. She also... likes mine , her brother has already agreed to our marriage, I can't let her down."

Mrs. Cheng was taken aback, and it took a while before she asked, "Then... is he a man or a woman?"

It felt so strange to ask this question, and Mrs. Cheng herself felt very awkward.But in view of Cheng Zian's identity and what happened to Chu Jingmo back then, she still felt that it was necessary to ask such a question.

Cheng Zian didn't hesitate for a while, and replied affirmatively: "She is a woman!" After he paused, he added: "Not yet."

In her heart, she repeatedly said "injustice", and Madam Cheng almost tore off the veil in her hand, but she still felt that the sadness in her heart could not be suppressed.She finally stopped worrying about other things, and hugged Cheng Zian, buried her head in her shoulder and cried: "Ajie, I am the one who is sorry for you, if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't...wouldn't be like this..."

Cheng Zian raised and lowered his hand, not knowing how to comfort his mother.She turned her head, looked at the distant sky, and said after a long time: "I don't blame mother, this is my own business."

Hearing the mother's kiss, Mrs. Cheng grabbed Cheng Zian's lapel with one hand, but cried even harder.

Everything is her fault, if she hadn't wanted to seek justice for her husband, she would not have agreed to raise A Jie as a man.If she hadn't been raised as a man, then she might have already been married as a woman at this moment, so how could it be like this...it would be like this... reverse yin and yang, and corrupt ethics!

Cheng Zian didn't know what she would be like if she wasn't raised as a man, but she knew that she didn't like men, and she always fell in love with women.From the bottom of her heart, she was an outlier, so no one could blame her.Maybe she should also thank her mother and grandmother for allowing her to have the status of a man, so that she can be with the person she likes in the future.

The two of them avoided people when they talked about things before, and Mrs. Cheng buried her head on Cheng Zian's shoulder without any scruples and cried for a while.It wasn't until Cheng Zian felt that the clothes on his shoulders were soaked by Madam Cheng's tears that Madam Cheng gradually stopped crying.

She raised her head, looked at Cheng Zian with burning eyes, and asked, "Who is she?"

The author has something to say: Cheng Zian: Actually, I am a natural...

Chu Yi: Actually, I was the one who got bent! ! ! !

ps: Don't wait for the evening, happy new year everyone~
