Chapter 40: Go to Jiucheng Palace again

"I have met Mrs. Rongguo, and Mrs. Han!" In the reception room of this main building of the village, Chen Yi respectfully saluted to Yang and Wu Shun, the wife of Rongguo who were sitting upright, performing the kind of ritual that juniors of the same race need to perform when they meet their elders. */*

Just a while ago, after being intimate with Helan Minyue for a while, she "harmed" the beauty and let him do it, Chen Yi stopped in time, hugged her and said intimate words for a while, then left the house and prepared to visit Yang and Wushun. When he came to the village, the first thing he had to visit Yang and Wushun. In theory, it shouldn't be that Helan Minyue should first visit. Is there any difference between superiority and inferiority, and is the order of the elders and young people?

But Helan Minzhi asked him to visit Helan Minyue first, and Chen Yi had to obey. He also knew that Helan Minzhi would not let people know that he would come to visit Helan Minyue first! If Yang and Wu Shun knew that he came to the village this time and went to visit Helan Minyue first, it would definitely make him feel bad for him without being polite, and even ruin his reputation! You must know that this is an era that advocates etiquette the most, not a strange era that does not pay attention to these etiquettes like later generations!

In the past two days, Yang had heard Wu Shun talk about Chen Yi, so after Chen Yi entered the house, he kept staring at him. It was a kind of scrutiny and very picky! Chen Yi certainly felt that Yang's gaze had been on him, and he was not frightened. He stood up with his body and his eyes were open, but his head was slightly lowered to show his respect for his elders, but he was also secretly looking at Yang!

According to Chen Yi's investigation from Helan Minyue, Mrs. Yang, who is in his seventies, was surprised when she saw her. She didn't look like an old woman in her seventies, at most she could see her in her fifties. Although there were wrinkles on her face, she didn't have many skin, her skin looked quite tender, white, and shiny. Her hair was not much white, her eyes were very bright, and her body was quite tough. Although she was mentally prepared, Chen Yi was still quite surprised when she saw it. This was a very well-maintained old woman, obviously much younger than her actual age!

As far as Chen Yi knows, it turns out that in history, Yang lived in his nineties, and Wu Zetian died in his eighties. The genes of this family are relatively long-lived. Some of the genetic codes in their bodies that control body metabolism must be better than ordinary people, otherwise they would not be like this!

Well, Chen Yi originally thought it was impossible for Yang and Helan Minzhi to commit adultery in history books. The two were too different, almost in their sixties. According to normal circumstances, when Helan Minzhi had sexual ability, Yang was completely menopause and had no ability to live sex, but now it seems that this is not the case. Yang looks too young and seems to be a little unable to explain it according to normal physiology!

Because he was thinking about the messy things, Chen Yi's expression seemed very calm and he didn't look timid.

Chen Yi's calm but polite behavior satisfied Yang.

Yang and Wu Zetian have similar personalities. In other words, Wu Zetian has a similar temperament to her mother, both of whom are stronger women. Wu Shun is not very similar to them, she is weak and usually likes to cry. Yang often talks about this, which makes her not very satisfied. But her temperament is born. Sometimes it is difficult to change, just like Yang's own strength. He is still like this now. Moreover, because his daughter Wu Zetian is the queen, holding the highest power of the Tang Dynasty, she has shown more strength. She also has to worry about some things that she should not have been worried about, such as the evaluation of some officials, Wu Shun's affairs, and Helan Minzhi's marriage!

A few days ago, I heard Wu Shun say that Wu Zetian intended to grant Helan Minyue to Chen Yi as his wife, which surprised her because Yang knew that his daughter Wu Zetian did not think so. Moreover, she didn't know who Chen Yi was, and she didn't know his background. She couldn't understand why Wu Zetian wanted to grant Helan Minyue to someone like Chen Yi who was not noble in his background!

She was eager to find out the situation and wanted to ask Wu Zetian, but Wu Zetian went to Jiucheng Palace and couldn't ask. Wu Shun didn't have much to ask here. All she could do was meet Chen Yi, and check what kind of person Chen Yi was, and ask the situation clearly from Chen Yi! Originally, she wanted Helan Minzhi to call Chen Yi, but Helan Minzhi said that Chen Yi went to Zhongnan Mountain and then gave up!

Today, when I heard Helan Minzhi say that Chen Yi came to the village to visit. After asking him to see him outside, he immediately asked Helan Minzhi to bring Chen Yi in!

The first impression Chen Yi gave her was quite good. A very dignified young man, who was calm and calm, even surpassed Wu Zetian's sons. The expression that was inconsistent with his age and the smell contained thereafter made Yang unable to help but take a few more glances.

Wu Shun told her about Chen Yi in the past two days, which made her realize that Chen Yi is very talented, has extraordinary martial arts, excellent medical skills, and has different opinions on state affairs. Some of his views surprised Wu Zetian. Combined with the feeling that she had given her when she first met Chen Yi, she had a good impression of the young man in front of her, and her original idea of ​​opposing Helan Min's promise to marry him was also eliminated a lot.

"You are Chen Yi, and your ancestors are the royal family of Chen?" Yang began to ask about household registration.

Although Chen Yi felt a little uncomfortable with this question from Yang, he knew that Yang would definitely ask him many questions, but he didn't care. He answered respectfully: "That's right! Mrs. Rong Guo, you are right. In the following, the ancestors were the royal family of Chen Kingdom. However, Chen Shi was attacked by the Sui Dynasty, and my grandfather was forced to wander to Jiangnan. After a few generations, we no longer thought about the descendants of Chen Shi. They just wanted to be a regular Tang people and be favored by the emperor!"

The respect Chen Yi showed and the neither humble nor arrogant words made Yang feel comfortable. What this young man said did not make people feel the twilight brought to him by the family's weakness. There was no feeling of sadness. He was as calm and calm as his expression, and even had some self-confidence that he should not have, as if everything had nothing to do with him. Because of his surprise and appreciation of Chen Yi's performance, Yang also had a faint smile on his face: "I heard Shun'er say that your talent is very good, which surprised everyone, and made Mei Niang amazed, look at you with a different eye, and the imperial guards went to Jiucheng Palace to let you go, and they also consulted you some things, but are there any of these things?"

"There are these things!" Chen Yi looked a little proud, but he still maintained respect for Yang in his words. "It's just that many things are nonsense, just saying some unrealistic ideas. I didn't expect that the Empress would be interested! The Empress was interested, so she asked me some deeper things. But she didn't expect that she accidentally hit the nail on the head. The Empress felt that what I was saying was reasonable, so she praised her. In fact, it was nothing, she just said something she thought about!"

After Chen Yi finished speaking, Helan Minzhi, who was on the other hand, interrupted, "Grandma, mother, you don't know. A few days ago, the arguments that Ziying said about the Goryeo war surprised my aunt. She also wrote Ziying's views in a Korean form and sent them to the important officials in the court for a review. This shows that Ziying's proposal was very exciting, otherwise my aunt would not have made such a decision. nor would she surprise and pay attention to the important officials in the court! A few days ago, Minzhi and Ziying were discussing the Goryeo incident with Ziying. Ziying's arguments on these matters were very surprising. Minzhi sighed that he was inferior to him!"

"Oh?! Is this happening?" Yang looked at Chen Yi in disbelief.

"This is the thing, Mrs. Rongguo!" Chen Yi quickly explained: "I took some issues that were different from those considered by ordinary people, which aroused the Queen's interest, so it is like this! Those are just what I usually think about, and I think about it myself!"

Chen Yi was very happy that Helan Minzhi would speak for him. These words were likely to make people feel annoying when they said from his mouth. People would think that he was complacent and arrogant when he was talking about something, but when he came from someone else's mouth, the effect and taste were completely different, which would make the listener amazed. The effect now is the best. The good ones were beyond his surprise. Unless Wu Zetian said these words, no one would have more effect than those words spoken from Helan Minzhi.

What surprised Chen Yi was that Helan Minzhi did not stop talking about it. Instead, he continued to say it.

"My grandmother and aunt once told Minzhi that the talent and knowledge of my son are amazing. There are not many people in the world to reach. It is a blessing to meet someone like him and the court has such talents!"

This not only surprised Yang, but also Chen Yi. Has Wu Zetian really said this?

Chen Yi subconsciously felt that Helan Minzhi was telling a lie to say good things for him, but immediately denied this idea. Helan Minzhi could not arrange such words in front of Yang and Wu Shun. One was Wu Zetian's mother, the other was Wu Zetian's sister, and Helan Minzhi's mother. If he lies, it could be verified immediately. Helan Minzhi did not need to lie in front of Yang and Wu Shun, because they would tell Wu Zetian these things. Only Wu Zetian really said such words, Helan Minzhi dared to say them in the face of so many things.

Hearing his brother say this, he saw his grandmother and mother standing with a surprised look, and Helan Minyue, who was nervous and shy, was very surprised. Helan Minzhi had never told her these things before. Helan Minzhi said this in front of so many people, which really surprised her. She really didn't expect that her queen aunt would say Chen Yi like this! She felt proud of Chen Yi, and everyone hoped that her husband would be outstanding in all aspects. Wu Zetian praised Chen Yi like this. With Helan Minyue's understanding of Wu Zetian, this is very rare.

This aunt who became the queen has never praised anyone like this, and very few people have praised her. This can also be said from another perspective that Chen Yi is really outstanding, and she surprised her aunt who became the queen!

Yang's surprised expression could not be hidden. She knew the nature of Wu Zetian, the daughter, and the ministers in the court had very few opportunities to appreciate her in person, not to mention that Chen Yi, a young man with a background of not very good origin, now without any official position, and is only a 16 or 17-year-old. It can only be said that this son is very different from ordinary people, and his performance in all aspects surprised Wu Zetian so much!

During the time she talked with Chen Yi, she had been carefully observing Chen Yi's words and deeds. Chen Yi's calmness and indifference with her age were shocked. After listening to Helan Minzhi's words, she could understand a little, and could understand why Wu Zetian made such arrangements and had a greater likelihood of Chen Yi. Then Yang asked some questions, including Chen Yi's family background, the situation of his subordinates, and the next arrangements.

Of course, she did not directly talk about Chen Yi's marriage with Helan Minyue. It is difficult for her to make a clear statement on this matter now. She had to go to Wu Zetian to ask about the specific matters before she could finally make a decision.

--------------

"Ziying, my grandmother has a good impression of you!" After leaving, Helan Minzhi, who walked out with Chen Yi, congratulated Chen Yi: "I guess my grandmother will not object to your marriage with Minyue. The suggestions you made are really good. At first, I was worried that my grandmother would look down on you, but now it seems that she is completely worried! It's long time since you asked you to meet my grandmother!"

"Thank you, Brother Changzhu, for your kind words just now. But those words make me feel ashamed. How dare you be the queen say this!" Chen Yi said embarrassedly: "I have become a monster! Haha!"

"Zi Ying, these words are indeed what my aunt once said to me. But I thought it was inconvenient to talk to you before. It would be of no benefit to you if it was said, but it would make you arrogant and not good for you. But today I think it is quite good to say to my grandmother in front of so many people. Grandmother and mother will look at you differently, and they will also talk to your aunt about you. If you mention this more in front of your aunt, maybe when grandmother and aunt talk about it, the marriage will be done!" Helan Minzhi said meaningfully: "So, Zi Ying, I suggest you go back to Jiucheng Palace immediately, go to your aunt and take the opportunity to clarify this matter!"

"That's right, Brother Changju, then after I take care of my work, I will go to Jiucheng Palace immediately. Your Majesty's body needs to be taken care of. The Empress's health is not very good. If I don't go back, I will be punished if I have anything to do!" Chen Yi, who fully understood Helan Minzhi's thoughts, immediately agreed, and showed a knowing smile to Helan Minzhi, but immediately stopped smiling and said a little embarrassedly: "I just don't know if Minyue will be unhappy. She would be angry if she hadn't come here for a few days. If she hadn't come for a longer time, she might not want to pay attention to me!"

"Don't worry about other things. I will continue to talk to her mother. After today, she shouldn't strongly object to it! Grandma will definitely reconsider it," Helan Minzhi smiled and said, "Minyue, don't worry either. She is just a little bitch. If she understands things, she won't anger you. As long as you come to see her from time to time these two days, just talk with her!"

"Okay, I'll go early the morning after tomorrow and go back to Jiucheng Palace!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my greatest motivation.)
