Chapter 9: Qi Heng's Crazy Love and Acknowledgment of Fate

It's July now, the sun is hot and dry, Qi Heng stayed alone in the study, looking at the portrait of Sheng Minglan in his hand, feeling a little bitter in his heart.He didn't go out these days, and he knew nothing about the outside world. Two days ago, he heard a few maids talking and mentioned Miss Sheng Liu. Normally, he would not take care of these maids. He only heard the name of the sixth sister. Stop and listen to their small talk.

He stood in the garden at the corner of the promenade, couldn't see the appearance of the maids, so he could only listen hard, "Hey, Lao Li at the front door went shopping at the house yesterday, and met the sixth girl of the Sheng family and Gu Erye .”

The other maid was very surprised, "So, the rumors in Beijing these days are true?"

"Hey, what's the rumor? Let's hear it."

"When I was out of the house, I heard from Mrs. Wang who sold the tofu: Second Master Gu wanted to marry the sixth girl of the Sheng family, but he was afraid that she would be bullied when she got married, so he went to the northwest to fight in the northwest to earn military merits. He left last year, two months ago. He just came back, and because he repelled the Qiang people in the northwest, he was going to be named Uncle Zhongyong, and the sixth girl of the Sheng family was the imperial decree to marry him himself."

"Ah, Second Master Gu is so kind, the young master must die of grief."

"It's useless to be sad, the young master is going to marry the young lady of the Cheng family, and the second master Gu promised her to be his regular wife, how could the princess allow her to be his regular wife, at most she is a concubine, anyone who is not stupid knows who to marry. "

"What does this have to do with us, I just don't know if the Cheng family lady is good looking or not, our young master is so good, don't be like the former Jiacheng County Lord."

"I know this. My second uncle is the son of the Cheng family. He said that Miss Cheng's family is fine. It's not that she is weak and sick, but she is fine. And, let me tell you quietly, the Cheng family is fine. This Miss Di has been the housekeeper since ten years ago."

As soon as this related maid broke the news, it caused an uproar, "Wow, really? Oh my god, this is quite a block away from that girl Sheng Liu. She is a direct descendant and has been a housekeeper since she was a child. I see it everywhere. Better than that girl Shengliu."

"That's what I said, but the young master likes Miss Sheng Liu. Maybe this Miss Cheng will be rejected by the young master if she gets married."

"Hey, we servants and maidservants can't take care of the master's affairs. We only hope that the mistress is good and treats us well." A group of people echoed and walked away. Qi Heng saw that there was no sound before leaving the yard. walk out.

Listening to these words of the maids, Qi Heng felt desperate, yes, desperate, he lost even the slightest chance, so who could blame him, only blame himself for not being as capable as his second uncle.Let's talk about it, but it's just that he didn't have the courage to risk everything for Minglan, and he will never be as good as his second uncle in his life.

The more Qi Heng thought about it, the more pain he felt in his heart, and he hurried back to the study room. Looking at the portraits of the sixth younger sister all over the room, he wanted to gently touch the person in the painting with his fingers, but he raised his hand, but he couldn't fall down. There was a voice shouting all the time, "You don't deserve it! You don't deserve it!" Qi Peilan came to look for him in the study, seeing Qi Heng's expression was not good, and was going to try to persuade him, but as soon as he approached, Qi Heng collapsed on the ground, "Mr. Sister, can I go to the Sheng family to propose marriage now?" Peilan turned pale when she heard this, and was about to scold him to wake him up, but a slap appeared in the air and slapped Qi Heng directly on the face. anger.

Princess Pingning learned that Gu Erye was going to marry the sixth girl from the Sheng family, and thought about his son's mood, and wanted to comfort him, but he didn't expect her to hear such a bastard as soon as he entered the door, "Qi Yuanruo, let me tell you, never From the day you signed the marriage certificate, you should stop thinking about it. Heh, I always thought that you were just fascinated and would be fine in a few days, but you actually want to go to the Sheng family to propose marriage again. Not to mention Face, in your current situation, I really thought Miss Six would take care of you if you went to someone else."

Princess Pingning Shun Shun said, "If you really care about that sixth girl so much, why do you still care about us in the first place? You can go directly to the Sheng family to propose marriage. From the moment you signed the marriage certificate, in the eyes of sixth girl You are an irresponsible man, since you have a marriage contract, you should stay away from them, but you still have a deep affection for her, you think it is infatuation in the eyes of others, ah, in the eyes of the Sheng family Here, you are a person who has no responsibility and only promises empty promises, if you continue to act like this, sooner or later you will regret it."

Princess Pingning left after speaking. Qi Heng thought she was just teaching him a lesson, but unexpectedly, that night, Princess Pingning personally took people to his study and burned everything related to Sheng Minglan in the house.On the second day, Qi Heng looked at the ashes in the brazier and finally resigned to his fate.

On August [-]th, the reunion night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Cheng Shangzhi handed over all the preparations to Cheng Qumai. He was happy and relaxed. He had nothing to do the night before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and enjoyed the moon with the maids. A few chats brought up her marriage. .

Jie Xiang didn't understand why Cheng Shangzhi, who had always had his own ideas, agreed to marry the young man so easily, "Miss, why did you agree to this marriage?"

Cheng Shangzhi smiled, "Because he has concerns, he doesn't love Sheng Minglan deeply." Mu He felt strange instead, "Young master would give up his life for the sake of Sheng Minglan, how can you not love so much if you are so infatuated?" deep?"

Cheng Shangzhi is an absolutely rational person, she has an emotional side, but all her actions are made in a very rational situation, making the most beneficial decision for the moment, "Qi Heng is the relationship between Princess Pingning and Duke Qi. The only son, he has been loved and loved since he was a child, and there are no dirty things in the family to grind him, so he has developed a simple and direct temperament."

Cheng Shangzhi rationally analyzed Qi Heng from the perspective of modern people, "Everything he did for Sheng Minglan was very rare, but he never considered such consequences. Let's not talk about the unfairness of women in this world. Just because of Sheng Minglan's status as a concubine, Qi Heng put a knife on her neck to show her affection, and if she was careless, her soul would go to the west. She is not the only daughter in the Sheng family, she has two sisters , there is also a sinister Sheng Molan, do you really think that the concubine Sheng Minglan can marry into the Duke's mansion just because she was raised by the old lady? No matter how sensible she is, she will always be a villain in the eyes of Princess Pingning. Concubine daughter, she can't get rid of this status, marrying into Duke Qi's mansion is only because of Princess Pingning's training, if Sheng Minglan had some brains, she wouldn't choose to marry Qi Heng."

Jie Xiang was even more puzzled, "But, as long as the young master likes her, he will definitely protect Miss Sheng when he enters the Duke's mansion."

"Jiexiang, many things don't just look on the surface. A concubine is a concubine after all. Look at these dignitaries in the capital, which of the regular wives is from a concubine." Cheng Shangzhi stroked the quilt, "I know you're going to say Gu Tingye, Gu Tingye is different, his is a matter of the court, so I can't say much, I can only say that Gu Tingye has no worries and is more open-minded than Qi Heng."

Cheng Shangzhi appeased Jiexiang and let them leave. She wanted to be alone for a while, looking at the empty night sky, she was very confused, and began to reflect on whether she had done too much, so-called overdoing, maybe she really did Wrong.

"Brother, you must be blaming me. You are a general, but I let you go into business, causing you to be ridiculed by other honorable children." Cheng Shangzhi really regretted it, and felt that he had done something wrong, but now We have reached such a field, and there is no way out.She suddenly collapsed, her mind was in a mess, and her thoughts went back to the past.

Cheng Shangzhi, the eldest daughter of Guanglu Temple Qing's concubine, since she lost her mother at the age of three, everything has changed.

She didn't want the aunt in the family to be in charge, because once Aunt Yun became the mistress, her status would be different from that of her elder brother. Aunt Yun might not treat them harshly, but she would certainly not raise them well. My wife, everything in the family will be handed over to my aunt, and the two brothers and sisters will become the sons of the original spouse from being a decent direct descendant, which will not only discredit them, but also lose the face of the scholar's house.

When Cheng Shangzhi learned that the old lady intended to promote Aunt Yun, she immediately ran to the old lady to act as a helpless little girl who had lost her mother. After gaining her trust, she asked for a housekeeper, and she persuaded the old lady in a few moments.The old lady is a backer, but she will grow old one day after all, she is still young, not only has to plan for herself, but also has to think about the future of the Cheng family.

Because of the friendship between the eldest concubine and her mother, she easily won the love of everyone in Chu Palace, and then entered the palace because of this, and gained the attention of Concubine Xian.After knowing Wantong's life experience, she knew why Concubine Xian was so kind to her, but she always felt a little weird.

From this point of view, Concubine Xian doesn't necessarily like her very much, but it's just because Wantong is in Cheng's mansion, so in order to live well and not be trampled on by those honorable nobles, she has to pick her up. The emperor's thigh, after all, is now in power.

She inadvertently discovered that her brother had many interesting opinions on the art of war. She planned to persuade her brother to join the army, which could be regarded as a favor in front of the emperor, but one day she found the creed of her father's correspondence with the emperor from her father's study. Only then did he realize that he almost killed his brother.

After thinking about it, she found her father and confessed everything. From that day on, Cheng Yanting began to teach her personally. She knew that her father was also training her brother in private, but she did not expose it.In fact, she climbed up to the emperor just to stabilize her family's position, she didn't intend to participate in the imperial power at all, but she had to participate from the moment she climbed up to the emperor.

Three years ago, the emperor's youngest son died of illness suddenly. The emperor suffered from a serious illness. The imperial doctor said that he would not live for a few years. The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty began to force the emperor to choose a heir from the clan.

The teacher originally came to Tianyun Temple to avoid the imperial court, but now there is no one to inherit the great line, and she can't ignore it. It happened that Shang Zhi went up the mountain to discuss Buddhism with the teacher. The teacher felt that the little girl was smart, so she decided to Put the matter of the crown prince to test her.

Cheng Shangzhi was surprised, she felt as if something was waiting for her, but she had to answer.

From that day on, she was involved in the struggle for imperial power, and had no choice but to move forward step by step.Later, she recommended Chu Palace to the emperor, which was in her best interest. After all, the King of Chu and the emperor were brothers, so the trust should be stronger no matter what.

Because of this, Prince Chu's Mansion was very grateful to her, Zhao Qianzheng also looked at her with admiration, and the marriage of Duke Qi's Mansion was a favor returned to her by Princess Chu, how dare she not agree to the emperor's gift of marriage.Although she likes Qi Heng, she doesn't like being arranged for a marriage, and she regards it as a great kindness, even so, she is powerless to struggle.

She is not Sheng Minglan, she only cares about her grandmother, behind her is not only the Cheng family, but also the scholar's mansion and the general's mansion, once she puts everything aside and disobeys the imperial decree, what awaits her will be the fate of the Zhu Jiu Clan.For the sake of those innocently brought into the situation by her, she had to compromise, and she carried the honor and lives of the three families on her shoulders.If she gave up these family members, maybe the emperor would be fine, but once the new emperor takes the throne, they will be used to sacrifice to heaven.

Many people outside said that Sheng Minglan's life was very hard: she lost her mother when she was young, she lived with her grandmother since she was a child, her aunt and sister were not easy to get along with at home, and it was hard for someone to like her, but her mother didn't agree, so she had to refuse .This is not enough, she has to be compared, so what about the first daughter of the Cheng family girl, she is also suffering from illness, maybe the Duke of Qi's mansion will be exhausted after taking it back.She was really angry about these remarks from outsiders. She didn't lose her mother since she was a child, but she knew that she could live out her own style by relying on others, but Sheng Minglan only knew how to be wise and protect herself blindly. Qiu still had to be sneaky.Of course, everyone has their own way of life, and she doesn't make too many comments.

Her past years are actually no better than Sheng Minglan's. Sheng Minglan is guarding against her mother-in-law and her sister who has bad intentions. She is walking on eggshells, but she has to guard against the sudden repentance of her superiors. , the superior will give up on her, and she also thought about giving up, but the lives of the big family behind her are not something she can give up if she wants to. business.In order to prove that she is worth using, she desperately went to learn what the dark guard should learn, and went home every morning until early in the morning, full of pain.

In order to completely gain the trust of the emperor and stabilize her foothold after the new emperor ascended the throne, she took the initiative to take on the task of removing the three kings (the third prince, the fourth prince, and the king Yong) and Concubine Xiao Rong. When these people were unable to stand up, the emperor He showed his trust by handing over the hidden guards to her.In fact, she only wanted to ask for an imperial edict to avoid death, but these cannot be exchanged for any number of imperial edicts to avoid death. The reason for this is naturally because of Concubine Xian and Wan Tong.In fact, in the final analysis, the emperor trusted her because she had a father who was a secret guard, because the secret guard was only loyal to the emperor all his life.

Cheng Shangzhi found himself watching the reappearance of the experience of more than ten years in front of his eyes like a bystander, and sighed slightly, "These years are really tiring." Cheng Shanglu walked up from behind her, " In fact, you don't have to be so tired, it would have been better to let Aunt Yun take the position in the first place."

Cheng Shangzhi looked at him, "I am a woman, and I want to marry anyway, but you are different. With a new wife, there will inevitably be a new young master, and you are likely to be forgotten. Brother, Cheng's mansion is our home , even if there is a new young master, it shouldn't be you, the eldest son, who lives in another branch office."

Cheng Shanglu smiled at her, "My sister has worked hard all these years, leave the rest to me." Above the night sky, the full moon hangs, which seems to indicate a new situation.
