Chapter 319 Fated Marriage
Chen Jingqiu, the second son of the King of Zhennan, and Wei Jingshen, the eldest son of Wei Yanhou, are just at the age of marriage, and they are the children of high-ranking families who are coveted by noble women.

Cheng Guogong's mansion has been passed down in Jindu for three generations. Generations of military generals, their ancestors are all brave and good at fighting. Matched.

Not admiring noble families, not seeking wealth and honor, is exactly in line with Cheng Guogong's style.

Cheng Yuyan opened her eyes wide: "You even know these things?"

Ye Zhaoyan rubbed the tip of his nose, "Actually, I'm just guessing. There are a lot of rumors in Jindu, even if you close your ears, you can hear a little bit."

She dare not say that this is a memory from a previous life.

Cheng Yuyan burst out laughing, "It turns out that you sometimes hear rumors."

Ye Zhaoyan said seriously, "I didn't mean to inquire, but I just paid more attention to things about you."

Cheng Yuyan pursed her lips and smiled lightly: "I understand what you mean. But this time you really guessed it right!"

She paused, her eyes dodged: "Father is optimistic about Chen Jingqiu from Zhennan Palace."

Ye Zhaoyan was stunned.

Isn't Chen Jingqiu, the second son of King Zhennan, the one whom Cheng Yuyan promised to marry in his previous life?

But he died in the trick of the court.

His death, together with the family's embarrassment, put Cheng Yuyan's marriage on hold for a long time.

after that is tragedy
Ye Zhaoyan's heart hurt for a moment, and the blood on her face gradually faded. She didn't dare to imagine what would happen after Cheng Yuyan settled down with Chen Jingqiu. If she did it all over again, would she be able to escape her miserable fate.

Cheng Yuyan is her most sincere friend since her rebirth, and she doesn't want to see her step into the fire pit. The most appropriate way is to let Zhennan King avoid the disaster together. However, the current situation is urgent and the Ye family is precarious. I don't want her to think too much
Cheng Yuyan sensed her silence, and looked up to see Ye Zhaoyan's face was pale, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat, as if he was suffering.

She hurriedly grabbed Ye Zhaoyan's arm: "Zhaoyan, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine." Ye Zhaoyan calmed down, "I'm just curious about your intentions?"

"My heart," Cheng Yuyan lowered her eyes, bit her lips and said, "Daddy never allows people to come to talk about marriage, but he has his eyes on him. I think this is probably a good marriage."

Ye Zhaoyan was startled, and then smiled bitterly, "You have seen these two people before. If I remember correctly, Wei Yanhou's son is the eldest son."

There is also a reason why the second son of Zhennan King can be compared with Wei Yanhou's eldest son.

Although the Chen family is not as profound as the Wei family, it still has good strength.

However, Mrs. Shizi is unmatched after all.Ye Zhaoyan didn't know why Cheng Guogong chose Chen Jingqiu instead of Wei Jingshen.

Cheng Yuyan raised her eyes to look at her, "I heard that the eldest son is twenty-one years old, handsome and unrestrained, very pleasing to the eye. The young lady of Wei Yanhou's mansion is as beautiful as a flower and has outstanding talents. Madam dotes on her very much. However, Mrs. Wei Yanhou's health is very poor, and she has been unwilling to propose marriage to the young lady, and she is brought up by her side every day."

Ye Zhaoyan nodded and said: "This is also inevitable. Mrs. Wei Yanhou's status is respected. The eldest lady has been raised in a deep boudoir since she was a child. She is always on guard against people outside. If she gets married hastily, she is only asking for trouble."

Cheng Yuyan said: "Father said that Mrs. Hou might recruit a son-in-law for the eldest lady. In this way, the eldest lady lives in the Hou's mansion, and the future wife of the eldest son must carefully manage the relationship between the sisters-in-law."

She spoke calmly, as if she was talking about an ordinary thing.Ye Zhaoyan was startled. She spoke so frankly that she didn't have any scruples at all.If someone hears about it, they will definitely use it as an excuse.

Cheng Yuyan is so scheming, it's no wonder Cheng Guogong has to spend all his time planning for her.Such a slender and spotless flower bone is easy to be bullied no matter which house it enters, and if one is not chosen well, it will be a lifetime of trials and tribulations.

In the early years, Chen Jingqiu went to war with the Zhennan King, and he had already earned fame and won the true biography of the Zhennan King. When the position of the later son was established, Chen Jingqiu abandoned martial arts and followed the literature, and his official career went smoothly. From the layout of the Chen family in the court.

And his elder brother Chen Hongji, although less talented, worked hard and gradually gained a reputation in the army.The two brothers, one literary and one military, have managed the Zhennan Prince's Mansion to flourish, and it can be said that they are indispensable.What's more valuable is that the two brothers have a strong relationship and have supported each other since childhood. Presumably Chen Hongji will inherit the throne in the future and will not forget his younger brother.The King of Zhennan has no daughters under his knees. There are only two single seedlings, which naturally look like eyeballs. I am happy to see it succeed, and Chen Jingqiu will not wrong Cheng Yuyan.

Chen Jingqiu didn't have the succession of his sons, so he seemed to be better than others, but it was precisely because of this that he didn't have to bear the heavy responsibility of raising children in the palace, so he didn't need to take concubines.This point must have been taken into consideration by Cheng Guogong.

Such a heart of love for women is grateful.

Seeing that Ye Zhaoyan was silent, Cheng Yuyan couldn't help asking, "Why are you silent?"

Ye Zhaoyan came back to his senses, and smiled lightly: "It's nothing, I just feel that there are so many twists and turns in this high-level compound."

"I forgot, you never cared about these things." Cheng Yuyan lowered her head and smiled, and suddenly asked: "By the way, from your voice, it seems that you are interested in Chen Jingqiu."

Ye Zhaoyan smiled: "I'm just worried about you."

Cheng Yuyan raised her eyebrows: "Worried about me?"

"Yes." Ye Zhaoyan put away his smile, "He is indeed a good choice, but the King of Zhennan has always paid attention to military achievements, and his wife is a family of generals, so the battlefield will definitely be indispensable in the future. Moreover, the King of Zhennan is an extremely shrewd and capable person , I am worried that Chen Jingqiu will suffer in the future."

This is very implicit, and it is just a possibility.She couldn't tell her that Chen Hongji would die in battle, and Chen Jingqiu was forced to accept the Zhennan Palace and died in the court dispute.

He could only induce her to retreat in a subtle way.

Cheng Yuyan said without hesitation: "The members of the Chen family are all brave and good at fighting. The King of Zhennan is also a general in the army. The Chen family already has a son. How could he send the second son to the border to suffer. Besides, With Dad mediating, he will definitely not teach him to risk himself."

Her tone was full of conviction, obviously she had great confidence in herself.

Ye Zhaoyan's heart skipped a beat suddenly, and Cheng Yuyan seemed to have imagined Chen Jingqiu as one of her own.

Perhaps in her previous life, she was so innocent, pure and kind, and didn't understand the dangers of the world.

"You are always so optimistic"

Seeing Ye Zhaoyan's hesitant expression, Cheng Yuyan couldn't help asking, "Zhaoyan, what exactly do you want to say?"

Seeing that she didn't believe in evil, Ye Zhaoyan had no choice but to make up an excuse for the time being: "You are such a beautiful and talented woman, but you have a quiet temperament. If you enter the Zhennan Palace, I'm afraid."

Cheng Yuyan gave him a reproachful look: "Nonsense, I'm not an ignorant country girl, how could I be frightened by a group of generals?"

Seeing Ye Zhaoyan frowned, she comforted her, "Actually, my father is a good man. He only has me as a precious daughter, so he has to worry about my marriage, so he should be very careful in choosing someone."

Ye Zhaoyan laughed and teased her: "I didn't question the Duke's kindness, but you mistakenly thought I had bad intentions."

"No way, I just think that since my father values ​​me so much, he will definitely not treat me badly, so don't worry about it."

Ye Zhaoyan smiled and said nothing more.

　There will be no updates tomorrow, but there will be updates the day after tomorrow.
