Chapter 137

Hua Yang didn't expect Chen Jingzong to say such serious and heavy words just after washing the thing.

It was so unexpected that she didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Chen Jingzong helped her get dressed, put on his outer robe himself, and went out to punting.

The cruise ship was swinging leisurely, Hua Yang was lying on the pillow, looking at the moon in the sky through a layer of tulle.

In fact, Chen Jingzong just likes to be open-minded. When it is time to do serious things, he is more serious than anyone else.

He will run back and forth on the mountain where the rain is pouring, and will work hard to help the people avoid disasters, and will not envy the two civil servant brothers who have easier jobs than him.

Surrounded by a group of corrupt officials in Ling Zhou, he will insist on rectifying the guards and fight for military pay and fields for the soldiers, instead of collaborating with corrupt officials to collect money.

Relying on his status as the elder son of the pavilion and the son-in-law of the emperor, he easily obtained the official position of the third-rank commander, but he also led Daxing Zuowei to win the leader of the martial arts competition by his own ability, and later quelled the rebellion of King YuHe has repeatedly made military exploits.

Such an upright and intelligent person, seeing the many crises hidden under the colorful flowers of the Chen family at this time, is it unexpected?

Perhaps, if Hua Yang was just an ordinary lady, Chen Jingzong would have talked to her about his worries about his family, but because she was a long princess and was from the imperial court, he didn't mention this, in case she misunderstood something, and then let the emperor and the empress dowager leak the truth, turning the chat between the husband and wife into a major event involving state affairs and the government.

He knew that it was not easy for his father-in-law to carry out reforms, but he never thought of dissuading his father-in-law, but silently prepared for the possible fate of the Chen family.

This kind of preparation includes that he doesn't want to tie her up with a child.

Talking about being tied or not, if Hua Yang doesn't like Chen Jingzong, even if she has a child, she will not accommodate him for the child.

It was Chen Jingzong himself. He didn't believe that even if she had no children, she would not divorce him in this life. He was even more afraid that it was because of her children that she kept him, the family's son-in-law who fell into the quagmire.

Chen Jingzong asked her if she understood what a husband and wife are.

Hua Yang understands because she has seen it before.

A real couple will share weal and woe together, like Luo Yuyan to Chen Xiaozong, such a delicate lady of the Hou family can obviously break away from the Chen family with a letter of divorce after the accident in the Chen family, but Luo Yuyan does not, she would rather brave the wind and snow to wear it on her feet.Shackles, but also to accompany Chen Xiaozong to the frontier to suffer.

Chen Jingzong didn't want Hua Yang to be that kind of wife, he chose to be a husband who was willing to let go, because he was strong, and if something happened to the Chen family, he would advance and retreat with the Chen family, but he didn't want Hua Yang to work hard because of the childHe took great pains to deal with him, so he was not in a hurry to have a child, so he wanted to cherish the time when they were still happily married.

"It's about to dock."

Following Chen Jingzong's brief reminder, the ship shook slightly, and then stopped again.

Hua Yang sat up.

The curtain at the entrance of the canopy was raised by someone, Chen Jingzong walked in, looked at her, and teased, "Can the old ancestor walk by himself?"

Hua Yang stared over.

Chen Jingzong came to the bed.

Hua Yang lay on his back.

Just when Chen Jingzong was about to go out, Hua Yang wrapped his arms around his neck and whispered in his ear: "It is true that our marriage was made because of our father, but no matter whether the father is an old man or a commoner, no matter whether the Chen familyWhether it is a wealthy family in Capital City or a poor family, I will not abandon you because of these, if I divorce you, it will only be because of what you have done to me. "

Chen Jingzong was silent for a moment, and said with a smile: "Give me a hundred courage, and I dare not be sorry to you."

He was not serious, Hua Yang snorted: "Don't say such unkind words in the future."

Chen Jingzong started to walk out: "You were the one who asked me about the child first, so if I tell the truth, it's not enough?"

Hua Yang twisted his neck.

Chen Jingzong stopped at the door of the cabin, and when Hua Yang stopped twisting, he tilted his head and asked, "You asked me if I was in a hurry to become a father. If I was in a hurry, would you be willing to give birth?"

Hua Yang is unwilling, her father-in-law still has three crimes that cannot be resolved, and pregnancy will consume her energy for nearly a year, how can she wait for the birth with peace of mind.

She asked Chen Jingzong: "Do you really want to be a father now?"

Chen Jingzong: "If you are in a hurry to be a mother, I can give it to you tonight. If you are not in a hurry, let's wait. When the situation outside stabilizes, I can also concentrate on taking care of you two grandparents."

Hua Yang: "How is the situation stable?"

Chen Jingzong lowered his voice: "Your majesty, let's take charge of the government. Now the queen mother and the Inner Pavilion are basically in charge. The emperor is young, so I can't see his attitude. When he takes charge, everything will be clear."

Hua Yang was silent.

Chen Jingzong: "You won't tell the emperor this, will you?"

Hua Yang: "I'm not stupid."

Chen Jingzong: "You are not stupid, but you kiss the emperor, I am really afraid that you will sell me, and the emperor will not like me when I look back, and the old man will also blame me for talking too much, which makes me not a human being inside and out."

Hua Yang: "You're really scared, you won't tell me."

Having been a couple for more than four years, even if they haven't fully understood each other, they still know each other's temperament, just like she can see Chen Jingzong's shameless uprightness, Chen Jingzong also knew that she would never treat the husband and wifeThe affairs of the two are confused with state affairs.

Chen Jingzong stepped ashore, looked around, made sure there was no one there, then smiled, looked at her and said, "I thought you would say, in your heart, I am as close as the emperor, even closer than him."

Hua Yang also smiled: "You think so beautifully."

Early the next morning, Chen Jingzong rode his eight-year-old horse to the guard again.

After Hua Yang had breakfast, he called Wu Run and asked him to go to the horse market to see if there were any outstanding horses.

The good horses that can be brought to Capital City for sale are basically Mongolian horses, and Mongolian horses are also good and bad. Like the kind of good horses that are rare in a few years, the horse dealers sent news to the rich and powerful in Capital City early in the morning.Then they were bought early, and even though the remaining horses were still considered famous, they couldn't satisfy Hua Yang's request for gifts.

Wu Run is the person who knows the long princess's vision best. He ran around outside and came back to report: "long princess, the horse market doesn't have any eye-catching horses for the time being, but the slaves greeted the horse dealers and let themIf they have new horses coming over, they will send news to our family first."

Even if the Beijing officials go everywhere, outside the palace, no one can overwhelm the prestige of the eldest princess mansion in Huayang.

Hua Yang: "How long will it take?"

Wu Run: "There may be a batch of new horses delivered before the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Counting the days, there is still a month to wait.

Hua Yang asked Wu Run to pay attention, and she put aside the matter of buying horses for the time being.

On the first day of August, Hua Yang went to the palace to greet his mother as usual.

Seeing her daughter's ruddy complexion, Empress Dowager Qi knew that her daughter lived more freely outside the palace than in the palace, but after all, they have been married for almost five years.Alienated the relationship between husband and wife.

"It's twenty-two, it's time to have a baby." Empress Dowager Qi persuaded softly.

Empress Dowager Qi is a strict mother queen. In her previous life, Hua Yang did not dare to disobey her mother, but in this life she is not so in awe. She pouted and said, "If you push me again, I will not enter the palace anymore."

Empress Dowager Qi: ...

"Mother is for your own good."

"I said that for your own good, lest you will be angry again if I don't listen to you next time."

Empress Dowager Qi felt that her daughter was becoming more and more unreasonable, but when her daughter was a child, she could let the nanny stare at her daughter to study etiquette seriously, but now she has no way to interfere in her daughter's and son-in-law's room affairs.

When the mother and daughter were in a stalemate, Emperor Yuanyou arrived.

After the younger brother finished the salute, Hua Yang found an excuse to take the younger brother away, and the two siblings talked in another place.

"Is my sister unhappy after messing with my mother?" Emperor Yuanyou was still very good at observing words, especially the empress's face.

Hua Yang took a seat in the gazebo, and told Cao Li, Chao Yun and others to retreat outside, and then she said something intimate to her younger brother: "My mother is urging me to have a baby, I'm not happy."

Emperor Yuanyou's eyes quickly swept across his sister's lower abdomen, and his earlobes were slightly red.

Hua Yang didn't tell her younger brother this on purpose, she just turned a corner and praised Chen Jingzong and the Chen family: "Other families are in-laws or husbands who are anxious about the issue of children, but I am fine. The husband's family is not in a hurry, but the mother-in-law is the most anxious."

Emperor Yuanyou was instilled with all kinds of etiquette and dogma by the empress mother and ministers every day, but he understood what the empress mother meant: "The empress mother is afraid that my sister will not be able to conceive forever, and will be criticized by the people."

Hua Yang: "Why, are you also standing by the queen mother's side?"

She raised her slender eyebrows, as if Emperor Yuanyou dared to nod, and she was about to explode.

Emperor Yuanyou didn't dare to offend his sister, it's okay for her sister to be angry, if she thinks that her family won't help her, she should be sad.

Emperor Yuanyou hurriedly said: "Of course I support my sister. My sister can give birth whenever she wants. If anyone dares to talk about my sister behind my back, I will ask Jin Yiwei to arrest him."

Hua Yang smiled: "If you have this kind of heart, sister will be satisfied, and you don't need to alarm Jin Yiwei."

After uncovering this matter, the siblings began to share some new things in and out of the palace in the past month.

Hua Yang mentioned her trip to Hongfu Temple with Chen Jingzong: "Fortunately, he really went, otherwise I will punish him to be ordained in Hongfu Temple."

Emperor Yuanyou sweated deeply for Chen Jingzong, he probably would not have gone out in such a heavy rain, but fortunately Chen Jingzong was honest and honest, and valued his sister so much that he kept his hair.

After Hua Yang finished speaking, it was Emperor Yuanyou's turn. Reading and watching politics were very boring. He thought his sister would not be happy to listen to those, so he picked interesting stories, for example, because a local official condoned his concubine to bully his wife,His father-in-law, who is also an official, ruthlessly participated in a book.

"By the way, the Tatar envoy who paid tribute horses to the imperial court has already passed Ji Zhou, and will arrive in Capital City in a few days. The horse is very heroic. I plan to choose one of the tribute horses to reward him this time..”

Hua Yang's heart moved. Tatars are rich in famous horses, but horses are used for military supplies. Horse dealers who want to transport horses from the grassland to the Central Plains for sale must first be selected by Tatar officials. The number and grade of horses vary.Restriction, it can be said that the "Maximum horses" in the hands of horse dealers, which they boasted about, may be just above-average goods on the grasslands.

It is different for Tatars to pay tribute to the imperial court. With 500 horses, there must be a few top-notch BMWs, so as not to damage the face of Tatar Khan.

"For no reason, why reward him?" Hua Yang asked indifferently.

Emperor Yuanyou: "He is my brother-in-law, he treats my sister well, so what if I reward him with a horse?"

Hua Yang: "Okay, I'll tell the queen mother later that this is a reward I specially ask for from you for the son-in-law, lest she always suspect that I bully the son-in-law, and when you reward the son-in-law, you have to reveal my credit.Let him take my love."

Emperor Yuanyou: ...

It's really "good" for my sister to treat her son-in-law!
